Chapter Four

Robin was lying on an old mattress in a dark cell. Light Storm was standing at the wall facing Robin looking blankly at the floor. Robin was just coming too from the shock that Light Storm had given him.

Robin opened his eyes and looked around. Light Storm glanced at him and back at the floor. A few moments later he was fully alert and attempted to grab something from his utility belt.

"You won't find your weapons anywhere on you." Light Storm said not even talking her eyes off the floor.

"Where am I?" Robin shouted.

"Slade's cell." Light Storm simply said.

Robin walked over to the cell door and started tugging on it.

"Don't bother Robin, that door won't open no matter what you try to do."

"What's going on? Why am I here?" Robin demanded.

"To be honest, I haven't a clue, and Slade wants you here because he knows without you on the team they will be easily defeated."

Robin didn't like her answer and showed it by kicking the cell door multiple times. When he found that wasn't getting him anywhere he went to the wall and pounded on it with both fists.

"Starfire? Are you ok?" Raven asked.

"I am fine, where is Robin?" Starfire got up and looked around.

"Light Storm took him. We need to find Beast Boy and get a hold of Titans East."

"No!" Starfire shouted. "This is my fault, if I had moved out of the way he would not have been captured."

"Look Starfire, there's no use wondering what could have been. Right now we need to get a hold of the honorary titans." Raven told her as she began paging Bumble Bee, Aqualad, Mas and Menos, and Speedy.

A few moments later a picture of Bumble Bee popped up on the Titans screen.

"What's going on Rob-" Bumble Bee started, "-I mean Raven. Sorry, usually Robin is the one contacting us."

"It's ok. Look we need you and your team to come over to the Tower. We have a situation."

"My real name is Arya. I was born in Hawaii and raised in a normal suburb neighborhood. I was loved by my mother and father. I pretty much had a normal life. I went to school; I had terrific friends, even a boyfriend at one point. I was so in control of my life. That is till that one night." she paused taking a deep sigh, "One night I had decided to take a short cut home, I had gone to a friend's house not to far away, but I was running late and I had a curfew I couldn't miss. I took a short cut through a really nice park. That is until these two groups got in a fight. I was caught in a crossfire. They were two groups who believed in two different things. They've been fighting for as long as they could remember. I know this know because I looked it up online. But anyway, one of them threw a white crystal. I didn't know what it was, so stupid me, I picked it up. It blew up and threw me almost eight feet away. When I woke up I was in a hospital bed. My mom and dad were there holding my hands. I got to go home a week later. A few months went by and everything was pretty much back to normal." Light Storm paused from her rambling.

"Then one day something strange happened. Some girl tried to pick a fight with me all because I was talking with her boyfriend about the homework due in one of my classes. She kept pushing me and calling me names. I got mad and the next thing I knew I screamed really loud and my hair and eyes turned white and sparks flew out of my finger tips and shocked her. Everyone who was around looked at me with confused and scared faces. I didn't know what happened so I ran home. I told my parents what had happened and they called the doctors. But before the doctors could arrive a man in an orange and black suit blasted my front door down and came straight for me and took me away. The next thing I know I'm wearing this uniform and I'm forced to obey his every order." she finished after talking for quite a long time.
