Disclaimer: I do not own DBZ OR Teen Titans.
Me: Yes, I do not own those shows, merchandise, etc. I only own millions of dollars. (Smiles) Just kidding. Anyways, I'm here alone because Slade and Robin decided to leave me alone so I can type this in peace. So I'd like to give thanks to SilverSayain12, RobinRocks, Starfirelover, StarfireK, Soulless Warlock, Tsukasa, and Unicorndreams for reviewing. I've decided that every five chapters will have Thank-yous to my reviewers. You guys (and gals) rock. Keep up the good work and read my other story "Rocky's New Life Part 1", which is posted on Dragon Ball Z. There's 9 chapters up now and I hope to have chapters 10 and 11 up ASAP. Some pain involved this chapter. Title kind of explains the content of this chapter. Kind of like chapter 1's chapter title "Love and Death."
ENJOY!
It's been two weeks since Wintergreen left, and dad and I were back on good terms again. Robin's better now and he's been training extra hard. I was able to show Robin the hole in the tree. Dad made a promise to Robin and he intends to keep it.Robin was out for five days and I had been sleeping next tohim to keep him warm.
We're in the training room right now. Robin's doing the obstacle course, dad's working on the controls, and I was watching Robin and telling him to watch out for stuff that he didn't see coming. Robin took out his grappling hook and he connected it to one of the ceiling beams. Lasers were being fired at him.
"Careful of the lasers!" I yelled up to him.
When Robin was four feet away from the ground-
SNAP!
"ROBIN!"
CRASH!
CRACK!
"OWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!" Robin yelled in pain.
We ran to Robin, who was clutching his leg.
"You okay?" I asked.
Dad checked Robin's leg and Robin screamed in pain.
"Sigh. His leg is broken," Slade said.
Robin tried standing up as dad and I helped him onto his good leg. We went to the infirmary and Robin sat down. Dad stuck a syringe in his arm and Robin went to sleep.
"Why'd you do that for?" I asked.
"When someone breaks an arm or leg," Slade said, "someone has to set the bones back into place. It's way too painful to stay awake through. It's best to put the patient to sleep so they don't feel any pain."
Dad set the bones back together and he put a cast on his leg. Then he put two crutches next to Robin and he told me to follow him so that Robin could rest.
"I guess he won't be training until his leg is better," I said. "He was doing really good before that laser broke the wire on his grappling hook."
"It takes a while to heal," Slade said. "Your training starts tomorrow since Robin's down for the count."
"Okay," I said.
Dad and I went to our rooms to wait for Robin. Four hours later, as I was gazing lazily outside, I heard the sound of crutches coming down the hall. Robin came into my room and he sat on my bed looking outside with me.
"You look outside a lot," Robin said. "What do you normally see out there?"
"I see my Mom smiling at me," I explained. "I hear her voice in the wind a lot and she keeps me going strong. She can never come back. No one ever comes back. Wintergreen won't come back."
"Why don't you ever leave and start your own family?"
"I need to stay with Dad," I said. "He can't go on without me. I could never go on without him. I want to stay with him."
"I see my family sometimes, even in this dark gloomy place," Robin said. "They protect me and I could never forget them."
"I guess we're a lot alike," I said. "I could never forget my Mother. The only one I can forget is my real Dad and the person who killed my Mother. I forgot about them a long time ago."
Robin stood up and he walked out of my room using the crutches. I stared back outside and I looked at the moon.
Don't let Dad or Robin leave me Mom. They're the only family that I have left. Don't ever take that away from me.
I laid my head down and I drifted off to sleep.
CLANK!
"That is so unfair!"
"I'm not fair," Slade said.
He aimed his bow staff at me again as Robin watched from the sidelines. I dodged the bow staff easily, but I was slowing down.
The bow staff came down again and I grabbed the middle of it. I was holding on tight and I wouldn't let go. Dad was trying to pull it out of my mouth, but my hold was stronger than his.
"Let… go of it!" dad said angrily.
I heard the metal staff breaking, but I wouldn't let go.
"N-no… w-way," I said, my voice muffled.
Then all of a sudden-
CRACK!
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAARP!"
I went sprawling across the ground backwards with the end of the bow staff in my mouth. My mouth tasted like blood and the inside of my mouth was hurting.
"Rocky!" Slade yelled.
He ran to my side and he tried taking the staff out of my mouth.
"AAAAAAARP!"
"Robin, get the first aid kit!" Slade yelled. "Don't worry son, you're going to be fine."
Robin came up with the first aid kit and he gave it to Slade. Slade took out a pair if tweezers, gauzes, scissors, and a small metal bowl.
"Be careful Slade," Robin said.
"This will hurt Rocky," dad said. "I need to take out the pole and any small shards of metal that got stuck inside your mouth."
He held onto the pole and he carefully started pulling the pole out from my mouth. I yelped in pain as dad pulled out the pole. He gave it to Robin, who took it to the table that he had been sitting on. Blood started pouring out of the wound, along with a few pieces of metal shards. I closed my eyes tight and the tears started coming down my face. Dad picked up the tweezers and he took out the remaining shards and he put them into the bowl. Dad took the gauzes and he placed the material into my mouth, cleaning up the blood.
"AAAAARP! AARP!"
"Calm down," Slade said. "You're going to be fine."
He picked me up and he carried me to my room. He placed me on my bed and he sat down next to me, wiping the tears away from my eyes. I couldn't talk because of the pain. My mouth was throbbing, but I was finally able to speak.
"I-It h-hurts," I said. "M-make th-the p-pain go away. J-just m-make it g-go away."
"I can't," Slade said. "That's going to take three weeks to heal and you and Robin can't train now that you're both hurt. Just try to get some sleep."
He walked out of my room and closing my door behind him.
Why can't you just heal, I thought. It hurts too much. Just heal.
I relaxed and I drifted off to sleep.
I awoke next morning and I didn't feel any pain in my mouth. My mouth felt… normal.
"Sleep in much?"
I opened my eyes and I looked into my father's eye.
"The pains gone," I said.
"That's not the only thing gone," Slade said.
"What are you talking about?" I asked.
"Well, it appears that your wound is gone and your mouth looks like nothing happened to it at all," Slade said. "Can you explain that one?"
"Before I fell asleep I asked it to heal in my head," I said, not believing my own words. "It must have listened to me. I think I can heal myself."
"Get up and follow me," dad commanded.
I got out of bed and we headed for Robin's room, who was still sleeping. Dad hit Robin's broken leg and Robin woke up.
"WHAT THE HELL!" Robin yelled in pain. "MY LEG'S BROKEN!"
"SHUT UP!" Slade yelled. "Give me your leg."
"No way," Robin said.
"GIVE IT TO ME!"
Robin jumped at the sound of dad's voice and he pulled out his broken leg.
"Heal him," Slade told me.
"But I-"
"Now!"
I put my paw on Robin's broken leg and I concentrated.
Please heal! Please heal!
I took my paw off of Robin's leg and I moved aside. Dad grabbed Robin by the scruff of the neck and he helped Robin to his feet.
"Walk."
"My leg… is broken," Robin said slowly. "I can't move a broken leg."
"Move," Slade said.
"I'm telling ya, it's not-" Robin took a step and he stopped. He walked towards the door and back again. "It's… It's-"
"-Healed."
"This can't be happening," Robin said. "A broken leg can't be healed-"
Robin looked at me as he put two and two together.
"You… did this?"
"Heh! I guess so," I said. "I told it to heal and it happened."
"I can't believe this," Robin said. "How did you-?"
"I don't know," I said. "I mean… I couldn't explain my energy ball. It just happened."
"We've got work to do," Slade said. "Your first assignment is tonight Robin. Meet me down stairs in ten minutes."
Slade walked away and I looked at Robin.
"You don't want to be late," I said. "If you're late, you'll have two extra hours of training for each minute."
I walked away and I headed for the kitchen. I felt weird and I couldn't explain what I had done. My life was getting weirder and weirder by the second and I hadn't a clue why.
Me: Now Rocky can heal. What other new techniques will Rocky learn as time goes by? You'll have to wait for the next few chapters to learn more.
Next chapter: "Robin escapes!"
Me: We all know what that means.
BYE!
Rocky Wolf
