Chapter Three
Samantha woke up slowly and looked around her. 'Okay, I'm definitely not in that alley anymore.' She looked around herself more. 'Ahhh... But where the heck am I?' She thought angrily. She got angry really easily. When she got scared, sad, annoyed, surprised, or confused she got angry.
Samantha got up to walk around. As she took her first step, fire erupted all around her. Someone walked out of the fire. The person wasn't completely visible but Samantha could tell it was a girl. She looked closer and it was Blare. Samantha's hand started moving but she wasn't doing it. She had a gun in her hand.
"Blare, move!" Sam shouted. She couldn't control her hand. She pulled the trigger.
Samantha woke drenched in sweat and with a sore throat. 'I must have been screaming again.'
She thought over what had happened in her dream though she had done it many times before. 'Did she say 'thank you'?' She thought. 'Why? That's never happened before.' She looked around herself and saw she wasn't on the floor next to her bed. She was in a warehouseish room. 'What the he...? Please tell me I'm dreaming.' She thought.
Then she saw him. The person she had hated for so long. The person she wanted to kill more than any other person in the world. Slade. (Really? No. Okay, whoa, 'cause I was totally freaking out there. Just kidding, it is Slade. WHAT! Shoot... is he going to get killed? I don't know. Just keep reading. Fine, just be that way. Okay, I will. Smirk.)
Sam stood up quickly and quietly. Electricity cracked slightly above her head. (That always happens when she's really angry.) Slade was working at his computer.
"Good to see you've finally gotten up," said Slade when she came near him.
"Where the (bleep)am I?" (Use your imagination. I bet you can come up with a good four letter word.)
Slade ignored her. "I need you to do something."
"No way!" Samantha shot lightning bolts at him but he jumped aside just in time and came back to kick her at her side.
She jumped up right after she hit the ground, gathered electricity from the walls, and shot it at him. It hit him right in the chest and he was out of it for a few seconds. They looked at each other. Slade seemed to come to the decision of something and pushed a button to a trigger thing he was holding.
Samantha groaned as electricity, (electricity not controlled by her,) surrounded her. She fell to her knees while clutching her head andtried to focus so she control the power around her but more kept coming. So much it was getting way out of hand. It hurt so much and she just wanted to die. Just have it end. Then it did.
She gasped for air.
"How do you like it?" Slade said as if he was talking about the weather. "I invented it just a few days ago. It really wakes you up, doesn't it."
Samantha didn't answer. She was still too out of breath to do anything except sit there catching her breath with Slade towering over her.
'Oh, great. I wonder what he's gonna have me do now that he's got something against me. Aww, whatever, I don't care if I end up like Blare.'
She finally got her breath back and looked up at him. "Whatever, let's just get down to business here. What do you want?" She said impatiently. She tried to stand up but nearly fell down. Slade steadied her by grabbing her arm but she brushed him off. "Don't touch me," she said coldly.
"Go down to the entrance of this building and greet some people down there. They'll want to see me but don't let them through the door that leads to this room. If they keep insisting, fight them. If they get through the door I'll give you another taste of your precious electricity. If they get through this door, I'll kill you and the person who gets through," he said.
"Okay, so, who are these people?"
"Have you ever heard of the Teen Titans?" He answered/asked. (lol)
Sam rolled her eyes and sighed. "Oh yes, I've got a microphone somewhere on your clothes so I'll shock you if you tell them what's going on. Got it? There's the door."
"Whatever. See ya." She walked through the door wondering what was going to happen next.
"I told you he would show up sooner or later." Samantha heard Robin saying as everyone came through the door. "Okay, let's search this building. Don't separate."
"That door sure looks promising. " BeastBoy said. "It's dark, gray, gross looking, and... yeah. Catch my drift?"
"Whatever. We've got to look everywhere. We might as well start there," Raven said silently.
They all started walking to the door that they weren't supposed to go through. 'Oh chiniykums...' (Don't ask. It's a word my real life sister sometimes uses.)
"Stop!" She yelled. It being the only thing she could think to say.
Everyone stopped and looked around for the mystery voice. It was really dark in the place so noone could see anything. Except for Cyborg. (He has his weird, cool eye thing, you know.) He looked into the dark corner of the room and he saw Sam.
"Hey, who're you?" He shouted.
"You don't want to go in there," she said and stepped out into the light. "Listen, look everywhere except there."
"Why wouldn't we want to go in there?" Robin asked, taking up role as leader.
"Just... don't. I... er... can't explain right now." Samantha said trying not to give away any information. She wanted them to leave that room alone. She really didn't want to fight them.
"Hey, do you know who's behind that door?" Robin asked silently.
Sam nodded her head a little bit worried that there were cameras in the room.
"I'm sorry, but we have to go through that door," he said.
He walked to the door with the team and was just about to pull the handle when he got electicuted. He fell forward. Starfire rushed to his aide and the rest of the team looked back at Samantha.
"I'm sorry! Please, I didn't mean to do that!" Sam yelled hoping they would understand.
'Of course they won't understand. They probably thinkyou're the enemy right about now.'
"You should leave. I don't want to hurt you. But I'll be forced to do that if you don't get out of here," she said uncertainly.
"Dude, what are you?" BeastBoy said looking at her like she was crazy.
She cleared her throat. "First of all, I'm a dudette, not a dude. Second of all, I'm a who not a what. And third of all, you really, really need to lea- Ahh!"
Sam got blasted off the ground she was standing on and smashed into some crates behind her.
"You attacked our leader!" Cyborg said, almost completely losing it.
"Dude, Cyborg, give her a break! Calm down!" BeastBoy said.
Samantha stood up and walked away from the smashed crates. (Actually, she got more smashed up than the crates 'cause she's really skinny and couldn't do much harm to objects that solid.) She was getting really mad right now. 'Oh shoot, oh shoot, oh shoot! Calm down. Oh, who cares, I won't get away with not fighting them right now. Seriously, nobody attacks me without expecting me to fight back. I'll just leave everyone except him alone. That's it.'
"HEY! Don't try to pull something like that on me! I told you, I don't want to hurt you!" Sam yelled at him with electricity crackling through her hair and making it fly all around and since she has really, really long hair, it was certainly a sight to see.
"Dude, Cyborg," BeastBoy whispered. "I think you made her mad."
Sam was about to throw a bolt of lightning at Cyborg but suddenly her whole body got held inside a dark bubble of energy.
"Hey, let me out!" She had to yell so her voice wouldn't get muffled by the magic but she was also mad.
"Don't try to hurt us and we won't hurt you." Raven's calm voice sent a chill down Sam's spine.
"Okay, just don't go through the door. Please."
'There's that word again. Strange...' Samantha wasn't used to saying that word. She didn't use her please and thank you's.
Raven narrowed her eyes.
'Why don't you want us to go through that door?' Raven's voice split through Samantha's mind and she shuddered slightly but nobody noticed.
'Slade's got an interest in my powers. He's behind that door and he wants me to fight you guys so you won't be able to get in and so he can also see how far my abilities go. If you get through the door, he's going to put me through electric shock and kill the person or people who get through. He can somehow use my powers against me. I don't know what else I can do besides fight you if you try to get to Slade. But I really don't want to fight you but if I don't he'll probably kill you guys and mewith his invention.'
'I'll try to help you. Just pretend to get really mad and start attacking us. But try not to kill us. I'll let the others know what's going on.'
Raven concentrated on her powers and sent messages to everyone in the team. Even Robin so that he could understand what's happening if he wakes up in the middle of the fight.
'Okay, guys. This girl's got big powers so Slade's taken an interest to her. He'll electicute or kill her and us if we go through that door. She's going to get mad and attack us but just know that she's not being bad of her own free will. To make it seem more real we've got to fight her back.' Everyone gave Raven a weird look.
"Let me out!" Screamed Samantha and she sent hundreds of bolts of lightning through the bubble she was in. The bubble broke and she fell to the ground. She got up quickly but was back on the ground when a green tiger pounced her. She grabbed it's paw and let a little bit of electicity shock him away. BeastBoy changed back into human form and looked at her kind of waiting for one of his other team mates to attack.
Starfire came next. She threw a green starbolt at Samantha and she fell back into the crates again. She stood up after a few seconds of lying there in pain. 'Man, that hurt.' She released about twenty lightning bolts all over the warehouse but she tried to make them not hurt upon impact.
Slade watched the fight that was unfolding. He was still wondering why there had been that long silence where Samantha and Raven looked at each other. Everyone looked at Raven. And then Samantha burst. He didn't understand it.
Then realization hit as he remembered Raven's powers.
He pressed on the button and broke it out of anger.
Everyone stopped their fake fighting when Samantha double over and got on her knees, clutching her head with electricity snapping all around her.
Robin had woken up a few seconds after the fighting started. (Probably heard the name Slade and woke up ready to fight.) He caught on quickly and 'fought' with Samantha.
Everyone ran towards Sam but when Starfire put a hand on Sam's quivering shoulder, she jumped back having been slightly electicuted.
"Cyborg, do you think you can stop this?" Robin asked, panicking.
"Oh, I don't know. I don't even know its source." He said.
"Get back." Sam said panting. "I'm gonna try something. Put a shield or something around yourself."
Raven put everyone inside her force field.
Samantha breathed heavily and let loose her powers. She made all of the electricity that was surrounding her go against the walls and crates and everything around her. If anyone had been in the way, they'd have been killed.
Nothing happened for a few seconds and there was silence and when they looked through the force field, they saw a deep cut along Samantha's right cheek and disappearing under the collar of her long-sleeve shirt. Then a little bit of electricity crackled in her hair and surrounded her again but not as much as from before.
"I'm going to look for what's causing this," she said through clenched teeth. She still stung all around but the sooner she got rid of the device, the sooner the pain would be over.
She started shaking her long, long hair all around and putting her hands through it to find something.
She didn't find anything. She tried to pay attention to where the electrical current was coming from. She felt the deep cut on her cheek and going across her neck going down her back. She also felt stabbing pains coming from her left shoulder. They weren't much different from everywhere else but they felt a little more painful.
She grabbed at her shoulder and felt and rubbed it. She finally found a small metal circle with leg-like things that had attached to her skin. She threw it onto the ground and didn't feel as pained. But there was still the after effect from the electricity and it was even worse than last time.
Her feet crackled and she noticed that the stupid, little, metal thing was still giving off power. She stomped on it and it died.
Raven let her shield fall and everyone ran to the powerful girl they knew nothing about.
She was completely out of it. She passed out and BeastBoy, being the one who was in the direction she fell, caught her.
"Wow, she's light," he said. "So... uh. What should we do?"
"We should bring her back to Titans Tower and let her recover there. We don't know anything about her so we can't find out where she lives right now." Robin said and everyone nodded in agreement.
They all left the building but nobody noticed the figure up on the roof, looking through the hole and seeing everything that was happening.
(A/N: Uh, yeah. I guess now's the part when I give you some message you can't decipher about the person? Well, uh, it's a cool person who doesn't ever appear much in the show. You may not think he's cool but I do. So... yeah. That's all of the clue that you're getting. I've already told Butterfly who it is though. XD)
Answer to Reviews:
Skitley: Thanks for the review. I'm super glad you think it's awesome. (Oh, speaking of awesome... one night I was asleep and my sister heard me say awesome. I never used to say awesome but since I think that's such a funny story I say it all the time now. And also, one time I was singing. Then I was humming. Then I was whistling. And I swear I was asleep. That's it.) Thanks again for the review.
