Chapter 9: Where am I?
Sage struggled against the metal cuffs that kept here arms in place. She tried to kick out but the cold metal stopped her again.
"Where am I?" She demanded for the fifth time.
"Where do you think?"
"Umm, gosh I dunno, the zoo?" sarcasm dripping off her words like poison.
"Well, now, if you must be so rude, perhaps you would like it better if you went back to sleep." He said, as one of his robot cronies started making it's way towards her, needle in hand.
"Umm, you see, I was never, a big fan of needles, so… KEEP THAT DAMN THING AWAY FROM ME!" She yelled as the robot tried to get the needle under her skin.
She moved her head out of the needles way, just in time.
"Well, if you won't go to sleep, then you'll just have to stay quiet. How do you feel about the dark?" Slade asked as he, himself walked closer.
"It's all right." She shrugged, comically, I mean how can you shrug when your arms are stuck? "Why?"
When he didn't answer, she cocked one eyebrow.
"Whatever." She mumbled. "So, umm, yeah. Why am I here again?"
"You are the apprentice I had in mind." His voice holding a, I got you bad, smirk.
She shivered.
"What do you think happened?" Cyborg asked Robin.
"I don't know."
Ever since they found Sage's beat up communicator, Beast Boy had been searching for clues of any kind. He had finally just sat down on the couch to think when Terra sat down beside him and started flipping through the channels. As she channel surfed a man in a mask appeared on the screen.
"Slade." Beast Boy growled as he jumped to his feet.
"What?" Robin yelled as he ran into the room after hearing Beast Boy growl Slade's name.
"Hello, Teen Titans. I just thought I should let you know where your friend is."
"Where is she Slade." Robin was losing his patience.
"Why she is right here Robin." Slade said motioning his arms in the direction of where a light had started shining. There underneath the spotlight was Sage.
She was strapped to a metal table that was on an angle so that she was almost upright completely. She had bruises on her face and where her arms were bare. Cuts marked her cheeks and arms, bruises were slowly appearing around them. She looked up, her eyes started sparkling like normal when she saw the faces of her friends, and she smiled.
"Hi guys!" She said smiling like she had been off somewhere for a vacation and hadn't seen them in a while. "What's up? I'm at the zoo!" sarcasm making itself present in her words.
Beast Boy looked from Sage to Slade. "What did you do to her?"
"He didn't do anything to me. This is the petting zoo, see there's the pig!" She said motioning with her head to Slade, a smile brightening up her bruised and cut face.
Beast Boy felt himself smile. She didn't seem to be suffering from much pain, and if she was she wasn't showing it.
"Well Titans, now that you've had a nice chat with your friend, it's time to say good-bye." Slade pushed a button and the screen went blank.
"Well at least we know that she's not dead." Raven stated the obvious.
After Slade said good-bye, he walked over to Sage.
"Now, to destroy the Teen Titans!"
"You need therapy."
The alarm went off 20 minutes after the screen went black. The Titans all jumped at the sound. After they regained themselves they were gone.
"What exactly is it?" Cyborg asked Robin on their way to where it told them they were needed.
"A robbery."
"Ok."
They got there in two minutes flat. They broke through the doors into a top-secret facility. A person with a cloth covering from the nose to their shirt, a mask covering their eyes, hair hidden under another piece of black cloth, A long sleeve black shirt, a black vest overtop, black tights and black boots greeted them.
"Titans GO!"
They all charged at the person in black. Black Hole (as we will call the person) easily dodged their attack. BH jumped up causing Starfire and Beast Boy, who were flying at it (Black Hole) to fly right into each other. Robin charged at it with his bo-staff, hitting one of it's feet, it came down, it flipped onto a landing jutting out from the wall. Jumped down, grabbed the disk, and then jumped to each landing and out through the hole in the ceiling.
The Titans returned to the Tower, feeling quite dejected; they had failed. They didn't have long to feel that way because the alarm went off again.
"It's that person in black again." Robin yelled as they broke through more doors.
There was an oddly shaped gun sitting on a platform, in the reach of the person. One of Robin's bird-a-rangs stopped their hand from reaching it.
"Who are you?" Robin demanded.
"Name's Black Hole." The voice sounded very masculine.
"Titans GO!"
Black Hole jumped out of the way of Cyborg's sonic blast, only to be hit with one of Starfire's starbolts. He hit the ground, Beast Boy was diving in the form of an eagle at him, he quickly rolled out of the way up jumped up. A freeze was thrown at him, he caught it before it exploded and quickly threw it back at Robin, freezing his feet. As Robin struggled to get his feet out of the ice, with Starfire trying to melt it with her eyes, Black Hole grabbed the gun. Everyone stopped. Raven was not about to let this person to get away again.
"Azarth Metrion Zinthos!"
The gun surrounded in a black aura flew from Black Hole's hands. And then surrounded Black Hole. He looked around trying to get out of the black bubble. It started to dissipate but not disappear, for it wrapped around him like rope, when the black aura vanished Black Hole looked down, he was tied up. He stood up and was about to break the rope when Cyborg grabbed him. Robin now free from the ice walked towards him. He reached up toward his face and was about to remove his mask.
"Wait, stop, don't" Black Hole was almost begging now.
Robin didn't even slow down, he reached up and tore the mask that covered his eyes and the rest of his face off in one swift movement. Everyone gasped, Cyborg dropped Black Hole and she landed on her knees looking helpless.
"Sage…" Beast Boy whispered as he looked at her already tear stained face. "Why."
All of sudden there was commotion and ten of Slade's robot groupies were surrounding Beast Boy.
"Attack." A voice said through the ear piece in her ear, just like the one he used for Robin and Terra, (blah, blah, blah)
"No." Sage said defiantly.
"Then I will."
The robots started closing in on Beast Boy, he transformed into, a rhino and managed to take out three, but they were just replaced within a matter of moments.
"Beast Boy." Sage screamed as the robots pounced and started tearing at him. She tried to get up, but she froze. Her eyes widened, she couldn't move, there was no longer rope tying her up, she just couldn't move, not because of fear, but because of Slade, he told her that if she did not obey him this would happen, she would watch Beast Boy die. "Fine, I'll do it" Sage yelled exasperated.
"Good idea." His voice said in her ear.
She stood up and the robots stopped leaving a wounded, breathless Beast Boy. Their eyes met. She looked away. A small but hot fireball hit Cyborg in the back. He turned around and saw Sage standing there with two other small fireballs in hand. She let them loose and one hit Robin the other one hit Starfire. The only person left who, wasn't burnt was Raven. Sage would throw one and Raven would either surround it in an aura and put it out or shield herself. Sage was crying as she fought. Raven saw this, she felt for her friend, forced to fight or watch Beast Boy get killed. She looked down. Sage saw her guard drop, as much as she hated to do this, she used that second to her advantage. Raven was thrown into the wall, lightly, as she was hit by a small fireball. The only person left was Beast Boy, he was already wounded, but still he approached her, his eyes full of tears, she made another fireball, but couldn't seem to find the courage, the defiance to throw it. It disappeared. She ran to him and hugged him not wanting to let go.
"I will not fight you." She heard him, his voice a whisper.
"Same here." She said crying.
Slades robot groupies appeared again. She protected Beast Boy this time. She spread her arms around him to stop them from hurting him. But they were not there to hurt him this time. She saw them grab the gun. One grabbed her arm, she tried to fight him off, but another one grabbed her other arm.
"Let me go." She yelled through gritted teeth.
The robots separated Sage and Beast Boy. One of them grabbed Sage and started going up.
"Beast Boy!" She screamed before he knocked her out.
The robot slung Sage over his shoulder and disappeared. Beast Boy stood there. He was so close. But still, he lost her. He hit his knees, and started crying.
'I am going to find and rescue you Sage, I promise.'
