I do not own the Teen Titans or anything related to them, however I do own this story and all of the non-original characters except for Isis, who I have been given permission to use by a friend of mine and all are copywrited. This means you can not copy the story or any of the characters or use them without permission from their original owners. Check out the mini-fics by my friend, Starfire Fury, called Teen Titans: Alpha Humor, they're mini-fics about these characters and they're really good and absolutely hilarious, so go read them!
Don't forget to rate and review people or I won't be able to improve! Anyway, hope you enjoy this chapter, its a bit shorter than usual, at least I think it is, anyway, here we go, chapter 12!
Teen Titans: Alpha
Scowls, sorrow and 'sorry'
Isis scowled as Li and Zeru beamed smiled of relief.
"Better go and talk to him then Isis." Zeru said and Isis was on the verge of giving him a one way ticket to an ice sculpture exhibit, when Li nodded.
"Go on, you agreed with us, someone needs to talk him." Isis glowered, but left the breakfast bar and approached the doors to the corridor.
"Good luck." Zeru said quietly and Isis nodded silently before walking outside.
Another thud and a splash told Isis that she needed to keep a safe distance between herself and Taiyou, just as a precaution. She sat down silently on a rock a good few feet from him as he threw another rock into the deep blue waters.
"What do you want?" He snapped and Isis raised a brow, even she was surprised at the change in Taiyou and she had an inkling about why he was so upset.
"I thought you might want to talk."
"About what?" Isis winced slightly at the snap to his worse, it was covered in an icy tone even greater than her own.
"About why you're trying to evaporate the sea around the Tower." Isis replied calmly and Taiyou sighed, turning to look at her with a sort of, hard faced sadness and disappointment, a sorrow that not even she had expected.
"I don't know Isis. It's all messed up."
"What's all messed up? You and Phoenix?" Taiyou's face darkened.
"Don't even mention her." Isis couldn't believe she'd already put her foot in it so early into the conversation.
"Taiyou, what's happened? Have you spoken to her? Has she woken up?"
"Why would you care?"
"Taiyou." Isis said sternly and the flame boy looked back at the sea.
"Yes she's awake, but I'm not sure she deserves to be." He added with a deadly tone to it that was so unlike him.
"Don't say that."
"Why are you defending her? You hate her!" Taiyou shouted and Isis couldn't help but shout back, no matter how calm she tried to be.
"I don't hate her! Besides, why aren't you defending her?"
"Because she's not who I thought she was. She's lied to us all and-"
"I don't think she's changed." Isis replied flatly, causing Taiyou to gape slightly in disbelief.
"How can you say that? She lied to us, she put us all in danger-"
"She saved your life. I don't think she's changed, you know it deep down too, she's the same Phoenix, she's the same Phoenix and you know it." Taiyou looked at Isis now and they both nodded at each other, another one of their silent agreements, a silent truce. Isis got up to go back inside as Taiyou broke the silence,
"Isis, thanks for coming and talking to me, y'know, making me snap out of it."
"Don't worry about it. Besides, we drew straws… I lost." She walked back inside silently and Taiyou was left with a small smile on his face, as he shook his head slightly.
Phoenix looked at herself in he mirror as she fixed her mask and stared at the unhappy reflection in the mirror. She sighed heavily and turned, brushing the creases out of the sheets on the bed absentmindedly. She looked around the med-bay silently and approached the door. She walked back to her room and, upon arrival took out her special pink and red notepad and a pen. She hurriedly wrote a note and collected a few things together and put them into a bag. She gave the room a sweeping glance and stepped into the corridor, walking to Taiyou's room and taping the simple note - 'I'm sorry' - onto the door she sighed and began to walk away, before running around the corner and flying down the corridor and leaving the tower silently.
