Chapter Seven: New Hatreds, Not So New Enemies
Lavender walked into the street, and screamed in anger. She didn't care if people stared. She was just so mad. Tears filled her icy blue eyes, and she bent her head, so that her hair (which was dark and light brown) fell into her eyes.
She needed to find a new job, and fast. She was in debt, badly in need of cash. She was desperate.
And she had a new found hatred of the Teen Titans.
She walked into an alley, and leaned against the wall. Suddenly, a man came out of nowhere. She backed up to the end of the deserted alleyway as fear filled her… she remembered a flash of blinding light… and then the pain of a needle stabbing into her spin… so much pain… then nothing else.
The man laughed. Like her, the man had a British accent. But unlike her, he wore an eye patch, had white hair and beard, and was completely evil.
Slade.
Back at the Tower…
"So did that not really happen last night? ... this morning, I mean…" Robin muttered, more to himself than to anyone else. He was pacing around the main room, something he usually only did if there was something major going on. Although this was weird, the rest of the Titans didn't think that it was that important.
"Unless we were all dreaming or hallucinating…" said Beast Boy.
"Then it definitely happened," said Raven finally.
"Where do we go from here?" Robin muttered.
"Dude, chill," said BB. "It's not that important, is-"
"It's important, all right. Robin's pacing. Can't you see that?" said Cyborg. "Or at least it is to him, so we have to deal with it."
"I agree with Cyborg," said Starfire. "If it is important to Robin, it is important to me." She walked over to him and put her arm on his shoulder. He stopped pacing, and looked at her thoughtfully… Until…
WOOP! WOOP! WOOP! WOOP! WOOP!
"TITANS- GO!" yelled Robin.
They all rushed out to the T-Car and jumped in as Robin got the coordinates of the trouble on his communicator.
He gasped, and silently held it up.
21st Street.
Cyborg nearly totaled the car in shock.
