Sorry about the late late update but I had it ready and the site was under construction or whatever. I personally dont know about this chapter.. hope its okay.
Chapter 15
Death
The Titans in their T Ship, along with Kal El, could already see bright light and hear explosions as they approached the city.
Kal El had a bad feeling about this.
It all seemed too familiar...
But then again, they all had a bad feeling.
"There!" yelled Robin, being the first to actually sight the battle taking place.
"Oh, no..." whispered Kal El, because he knew exactly what he was looking at.
'Crap. This is bad... We can't beat them without Starfire!'
He was about to tell the Titans everything, when he heard something hit the T Ship.
Tic
Tic
Tic
"BOMB!" yelled Cyborg.
But it was too late.
There was a small explosion and the T Ship blew up into pieces.
"Gah..." Kal El groaned.
He wasn't in any actual physical pain. Afterall, the Man of Steel was almost invincible on Earth.
But he was worried about the Titans.
'Are they still alive? I have to find them quick... '
Kal El searched for his companions, using his super-speed to avoid the enemy robots.
"Ughh..."
He groaned as he felt his body become considerably limp.
'Shit! I was hoping she hadn't come with them...' he thought as he clutched his stomach and fell to the ground.
"Still as weak as ever," came a feminine voice.
"Blackfire... You backstabbing-"
"SILENCE!" she yelled and shot a glowing green stone at him.
It hit him square on the forehead and made him bleed.
He couldn't even talk anymore. The Kryptonite was sucking up every ounce of his strength.
"Pitiful..." Blackfire said almost in a whisper.
"Under normal circumstances, you are a very, very powerful man. Yet, you possess a terrible weakness... This pretty gem makes you oh so ill. What a shame."
Kal El could only look at his enemy. He couldn't believe how much she resembled Starfire. She was beautiful, but it was a tainted beauty. Starfire's combination of beauty and personality made her incredibly attractive, while Blackfire's sick personality made her psychotic and cold.
All he could do was glare at her in attempt to produce heat beams. It wasn't working.
"My sister is the same... She could easily defeat the both of us, but her weakness can also be easily exploited. Isn't it ironic? Love is her weakness. She expresses emotions so freely that anyone can pinpoint her weak spot just by observing."
Kal El felt hot and cold at the same time.
Ah shit.
How come all the pretty ones have evil, psychotic sisters?
Damn, focus!
This isn't the time for jokes, man.
Gotta do something...
No shit, Sherlock.
Meanwhile, Blackfire continued.
" I, on the other hand, am different. Love does not dominate my judgement. Pretty gems, like this Kryptonite, don't make me sick. So you see... I have no weakness. I am invincible."
Kal El had to focus hard to talk.
"Not... true... Your hate is your weakness... your jealousy... And even though you look like the princess, you're a million times uglier... Because you're rotten inside and out... you beast... psycho..."
Her face was very red now, and her whole body was shaking with rage.
"SHUT UP!"
She looked as if she would explode.
"DON'T YOU DARE COMPARE ME TO MY SISTER! DON'T YOU DARE CALL HER A PRINCESS!SHE IS NOTHING! A FAILURE! HER WHOLE PLANET DESPISES HER!"
He gathered all the strength he had to keep speaking.
"She is hated because of you! She is hated because you shrouded her in a cloud of lies! You betrayed your own sister... What the helldid she do to you?"
She did not answer.
"All she did was love you," said Kal El.
At this comment, Blackfire's body relaxed, and she regained control.
"Love...?" she whispered.
The way she said it sent chills down his spine.
"Do you think I am a fool? I know she loved me. I know she still loves me. And I loved her too."
'Well, you have a strange way of showing love, you weirdo,' Kal El thought bitterly.
"You say that I betrayed Starfire, but it was she, who betrayed me! They all betrayed me! My sister stole my future! My father killed my dreams! And now, I'm back..."
She was laughing like a crazed murderer now.
"For revenge."
"I'll never let you get to her..."
But Kal El knew he couldn't do anything.
"Quite the contrary... you see, you're actually going to be a crucial part in this. I'm going to use you to get close to Starfire. Then... well, I haven't decided on what I'll do next. Something that will cause her the most agonizing pain. Perhaps, I'll kill everyone around her and let her alone live. Oh, she'll never be able to get over that."
He tried one last time to get up, but it was no use.
"I'll kill you before you get to do anything!"
Blackfire laughed.
"Good luck on that, pretty boy," she sniggered.
Then she fiddled with something on her wrist.
A watch? What is she doing?
She walked over to Kal El and held her "watch" near his temple.
"Don't worry. This won't hurt a bit."
And it didn't.
There was just a blinding flash of light and a tingling sensation in his head.
"What did you do to me?"
"Oh, nothing. All I did was take a... I guess you could call it a photograph, of you. With this handy watch, I can do this!"
Kal El stared with awe as well as dread.
"Flawless, isn't it?" she said pompously.
Oh, no...
This is really bad!
And the Titans are dead for all I know.
Is this the end?
"Well, this signals the end of our little party," Blackfire said.
She took out a knife. It was the same one she had used long time ago. The kryptonite blade was glowing neon green. She raised the knife over his stomach, and...
"Good night."
"AHHH!"
End of Chapter 15
Well, I guess that's the end of Kal El. mwahahahahha! oh yeah... the Titans are dead too. or are they? yes they are. but maybe not... you can decide. actually, I decide but you can hope. And what was with that whole "take a photo of dying Kal El" thing? why was he so worried about Blackfire's watch thing? I'll get there...
