Me: So, how many of you hate me? I know I'm having an OOC Slade, but I'm not sure if he'll change back to evilness or not. You'll just have to bear with me and hope for the best. I do not own Teen Titans.
ENJOY!
"Any luck yet?" I asked.
"I've picked up Cyborg's brain waves," Slade said. "Or what's left of them."
"So he's alive?" I asked.
"Well as you know, Cyborg was in an accident that cost most of his life," Slade explained. "He had technology built inside of him which allowed him to live. To make a long story short, the small amount of brain that he has left is keeping him alive."
"Why Cyborg first?" I asked. "Why not Starfire?"
"I think if I went to Starfire, she'd blow up on me," Slade said. "Cyborg will understand a whole lot better than the Tameranian. How's Robin?"
"He's alive if that's why you're asking," I said.
"Cyborg's close," Slade said. After about two minutes he spoke again. "Good, I found him."
On the screen it showed Slade standing next to a dead looking Cyborg.
"You sure he's alive?" I asked.
"Yes," Slade said. "Now I need to find his 'emergency on' switch."
"It should be inside his chest plate," I said.
Slade took almost ten minutes, trying to pry the chest plate off, and he took it off, looking inside for something.
"Emergency power… on," Slade said toggling something I couldn't see.
Cyborg's red eye turned on and he turned blue again. Cyborg's normal eye slowly opened and he blinked a few times.
"Hey Cyborg," Slade said. "Long time no see."
Cyborg jumped up so fast, it wasn't even funny. He already had his Sonic Cannon raised and he fired it, hitting Slade. Slade flew back from the force of the attack and he landed on his back.
"What did you do?" Cybrog asked angrily.
Slade stood up and he was clutching his stomach and panting slightly.
"I just… saved your life," he said. "Now you have to listen to me Cyborg."
"Whatever you're going to say, I won't believe a word of it," Cyborg said, his Sonic Cannon still aimed at Slade.
"I'm… not trying to… hurt you Cyborg," Slade said. "I'm on your side."
"Yeah right!" Cyborg said angrily. "You helped the Brother Hood of Evil! And Robin got beat within an inch of his life, right in front of us!"
Slade and Cyborg stood in silence for several minutes before Slade spoke again.
"Sigh! Robin's alive."
"H-he is?" Cyborg asked looking a bit relaxed and lowering his Sonic Cannon slightly.
"After we tortured him, I saved him with the help of my son," Slade explained. "He's at our place sleeping as we speak. You have to trust me Cyborg."
Cyborg put his Sonic Cannon away and he sighed in relief.
"Alright," he said. "What are we going to do?"
"We need to find Starfire, Raven and Beast Boy," Slade said. "Then we'll go back to our place and help Robin. Deal?"
"Deal," Cyborg said. They started walking looking for Starfire and after several minutes, Cyborg asked Slade a question. "So, what exactly happened once the Brother Hood of Evil gave you Robin?"
"It'll take a while to explain," Slade said. "But I think we should wait 'til we get back to my place."
They walked on for several more minutes when Slade's handheld beeped.
"Starfire!" Cybrog shouted running over to her. "Star? Star wake up."
"She's alive," Slade said. "You better wake her up. She's going to be pissed once she sees me with you."
"Starfire? Star, wake up," Cyborg said, shaking her. She opened her eyes slightly and she sat up. "Oh Starfire."
"Friend Cyborg, you are alive?" she asked.
"I saved him."
Cyborg helped Starfire onto her feet and she caught a glimpse of Slade.
"What is he doing here, friend Cyborg?" Starfire asked angrily. "And where is Robin?"
"Don't worry Star," Cyborg said. "He turned on my emergency power and he saved Robin's life. You don't have to worry Star."
"But, where is Beast Boy and Raven?" Starfire asked. "Where are the rest of our friends?"
"I'm picking up magic and animal cells down that way," Slade said pointing to the east. "They're close by each other."
"Come on Star," Cyborg said.
They walked on for quite some time and Slade was leading the way. After twenty minutes of walking, they saw two figures lying next to each other and Cyborg ran to them with Starfire floating behind him. Slade walked after them and the two people on the ground were Beast Boy and Raven, somewhat conscious.
"Raven, BB, wake up ya'll," Cyborg said shaking them. "Come on, wake up."
"Friend Beast Boy. Friend Raven," Starfire said. "Please friends, get out of your state of unconsciousness."
"Cyborg," Beast Boy mumbled.
"BB?"
"Please let me cook tofu for you," he said.
"Wake up you little grass stain."
"Whoa! Cyborg, Starfire, Sl-! Dude, do you know Slade is standing right behind you?" Beast Boy asked.
"Yeah, I know," Cyborg said. "He's on our side."
Beast Boy looked next to him and he saw Raven.
"Is Raven going to be okay?" Beast Boy asked. "She's just lying there."
"Please, friend Raven, wake up from your slumber," Starfire pleaded.
Raven's eyes opened a bit and she looked at Starfire who was hovering over her.
"Starfire," she said.
"Friend Raven, you are awake!" Starfire said happily, hugging Raven.
"Don't hug me," Raven said. "I don't like hugs."
Starfire let go and she helped Raven to her feet.
"Raven, you're alive," Beast Boy said. "You okay?"
"I'm fine," she said.
"We need to get going," Slade said. "We need to get back to Robin."
"Yes, lets go," Starfire said. "I want to make sure Robin is doing okay."
"Follow me," Slade said.
They walked back the direction they came and they came to the house.
"You do realize that this is the house that was reported stolen, right?" Raven asked.
"I'm aware of that, Raven," Slade said. "It was a Christmas present to me from my son. And, yes, he's the one who stole it."
Slade led them inside and he came into the door.
"Friend Robin!" Starfire shouted running over to the side of the bed.
"He's still sleeping," I said. "He's going to be fine Starfire."
"Thank you for keeping Robin safe and sound," Starfire said.
"I think we'd all like to know what happened to him after he got here," Cyborg said. "We're all here, so spill."
So Slade told the Titans what had happened and how we tortured Robin almost to the brink of death. Starfire was shocked and upset that we had hurt Robin, but she continued to listen to the story. When Slade was finished the Titans looked worried for their friend.
"I healed him as best I could," I said. "My healing powers have gone down to a minimum and its not working very well. But Robin will live and we will defeat the Brother Hood of Evil."
"What choice do we have," Beast Boy said. "All of our friends have been eliminated and were the only ones left. What are we going to do?"
"We'll think of something BB," Cyborg said. "Can you wake up Robin?"
"Robin," I said. "You need to get up. Robin."
"R-Rocky," he mumbled. "Why am I still here?"
"Your friends are here," I said. "They're alive Robin."
"They can't be alive," he said. "After the Brother Hood of Evil almost killed me, I watched them get hurt."
"Dad found them Robin," I said. "They're safe now."
Robin sat up with difficulty and he looked around the room.
"Friend Robin," Starfire said happily. "It is us, your friends."
"How did you survive?" Robin asked. "I saw the Brother Hood of Evil take you down. What happened?"
"I had a back up power switch in my hard drive," Cyborg said.
"And my Tameranian heritage allows me to survive against the lethal attacks that they used," Starfire said.
"And I saved Beast Boy and myself with my force field," Raven said. "They didn't even try to see if we were dead or not."
"I'm just glad you're all okay," Robin said. "I had given up when I saw you all lying on the ground. I thought you died."
"Dude, nobody can take down Beast Boy," he said.
"Except your evil side," Raven said. "And Cyborg."
"Hey!"
"Seeing you guys makes the blackness in my heart disappear," I said. "The only one I hate is myself. I'm sorry."
"Rocky," Raven said. "Your heart was never black to begin with. Sure you were evil and tried to kill and hurt people, but deep down, you had a heart of gold. Overcoming obstacles and traps and having determination. Yes, you were in the wrong, but things that you couldn't see influenced you. You have incredible powers and since you loved your Father, you never were really evil. You've come a long way, Rocky, and nothing can stop you from turning into something your not. I believe in you and that's all that matters. You're not evil, just misunderstood."
I pondered that remark for a few seconds and it finally occurred to me that I was always good.
"Thanks for telling me Raven," I said. "I understand now. Thank you."
"So what's our plan of action?" Robin asked.
"I don't know what to do," Slade said. "We have to outsmart the Brain and his Brother Hood of Evil first."
"How 'bout a surprise attack?" Robin suggested. "Tell Brain that we were never dead in the first place and take us to him. Once were in, we attack and take them down."
"Sounds like plan to me," I said. "But you're in no shape to be fighting. You might have to sit this one out."
"Maybe," he said. "Your probably right though."
"I think it would be best if you stayed here," Slade said. "I can have cameras in their hideout so you can watch the action and give us any suggestions."
"Sure," Robin said. "Just be careful."
"Don't worry Robin," I said. "I promise I won't let you down."
"Thanks Rocky," Robin said. "And I won't give up, no matter what."
"Booyah!" Cyborg shouted. "Time to kick some bad guy butt!"
"I need to gather a few things first and we'll be on our way," Slade said.
He left the room and Robin put his back against the headboard.
"You are okay, yes?" Starfire asked.
"I will be," Robin said. "Promise me you guys will be okay. I don't want to lose you, any of you."
"We promise, man," Cyborg said.
"We'll always stand as one," I said. "No matter what happens."
"I agree with my main wolf brethren here," Beast Boy said. "We'll defeat the Brother Hood of Evil and we can be back home. I miss my bed."
We all laughed at this and Slade came back into the room.
"Lets go."
Everyone, but Robin and I followed Slade out of the room and I turned to Robin.
"You okay?" he asked.
"I'm sorry," I said. "I put you through all that Hell, just so I could get what I wanted. I never counted on Dad to save you. I've wanted you dead for a long time, but something held me back. I guess there's hope for me yet. I wish I could change everything that I've done, but I know it's too late. You forgive me, right?"
"Always," he said. "You don't realize, but I really cared about you. I never lied to you and I don't intend on doing it anytime soon. Just take down the Brother Hood of Evil and be safe."
"I promise you that Robin," I said. "I better go. Don't make the mistake of coming to help us, okay?"
"I'll be right here when you get back," Robin said. "I'm not going anywhere."
"See ya."
I ran out of the room and I caught up with the others. The Brother Hood of Evil weren't going to win and I'd make sure of it…
I promise.
