One day, after so many she had spent sleeping, waiting for another visit from Beast Boy, she heard a rumbling and felt the earth shake. She tried to automatically cover her head for protection, before she remembered her punishment; this stone barrier.

Instead of rocks falling, a hand pushed itself out of the earth, struggling for something to hold. Another hand joined it, followed by a flash of light and a figure struggling free.

If she could, she would've screamed.

After Slade rose from ground, the first thing he did was walk over to her and whisper "I'll be back."
