(Sees the finish line) (Sigh) I'm almost their! Just two or three more chapters and I'll be done with the first story! Sorry if I'm getting on all of your guys' nerves talking about how much I wanna write the sequel so much. I just can't help it. I'm so excited to finally be finishing this story. Okay, enough with the endless rambling, here it is! The twentieth chapter! (Walks towards the finish line) I'm almost their.
After a couple of minutes, Chris was finally back at Titans Tower. She went see-through and flew into the tower ending up in the living room. The lights were off. She was safe.
"Phew. No one noticed I was gone." She sighed walking towards her room.
Just then, Chris got hit with a powerful dark ray that sent her to the ground, hard.
She struggled to get up and turned around glaring at her attacker.
"Think again." Crow growled walking towards her with his fist glowing an extremely dark black.
"W-what is going on?" Starfire asked, scared.
"Chris—where were you?" Robin asked.
Chris looked up at all the Titans and then looked down at the ground. She was silent.
"She was with Slade and his apprentices; weren't you Chris?" Crow asked; anger in his voice. Chris looked up at him and was silent.
"ANSWER ME!" Crow yelled shooting her with another dark ray. Chris got hit in the chest and fell back down on the ground coughing up a little bit of blood.
"Crow! Stop it!" Raven ordered him placing her hand on his left shoulder. Crow glared at his little sister and shoved her fist back.
"Don't tell me you're taking her side! She was training with Slade and his apprentices behind our backs!" He yelled.
"But trying to kill her isn't going to solve anything." Raven told him.
Crow glared at her. "No it won't, but it sure will make me feel better." He said; his fist glowing black once again. "Why were you with Slade Chris? Tell us why now!"
Chris slowly got back to her feet, looking back at Crow and the rest of the Titans; pain in her eyes. She stumbled a little but managed to get to her feet.
"Well?" Crow yelled.
Chris gave them a serious look but felt tears rolling down her cheeks. She shut them tightly and turned her head to the side. "I—I don't know."
Crow growled loudly and charged after Chris with his fist glowing and two extra eyes appearing on his face. (You know, how Raven gets four eyes when she gets extremely mad) He got a hold of Chris' neck and slammed her against the wall glaring at her.
"Don't give me any of that bull! Tell us why you were their! NOW!" He growled; his voice becoming a little deeper and demon-like while choking Chris.
Chris cried, choking up saliva and blood while Crow squeezed her throat harder and harder; Chris screaming loudly and agonizingly, her lungs desperate for air.
Raven then got a hold of her older brother and looked at him straight in the eyes.
"Listen to me Crow! Calm. Down." She told him. Crow's breathing became faster as though he just ran a mile but calmed down when he looked into his sisters eyes.
Chris fell to the ground once again taking in a huge breath. Robin ran to her side and helped her up. "Are you okay?" He asked.
"I'm fine." She told him, giving him a smile.
"Good." He said pushing her against the wall.
"Robin." Cyborg said in a shocked tone hearing the loud thud Chris made when her body collided with the wall.
She looked down at Robin with a scared look on her face, Robin's dead serious.
"Why were you with Slade?" He growled. "Tell. Me. Why."
Chris looked down at him and sighed. "Slade—gave me an offer. He offered to help me with my powers. He told me that if I wanted to go back home as soon as possible, then I had to trust him. But now I know, that that was a bone-headed mistake."
"Damn right it was." He told her, letting go of her and letting her feet touch the ground. He walked off back with the Titans.
"Robin. I'm sorry." Chris told him.
Robin turned and glared at her. Chris felt her tears completely fill her eyes. Robin turned his head away. "Yeah; so am I."
Robin looked up at Crow. "Send her back home."
All the Titans looked at Robin as though he were joking.
Crow nodded his head in agreement and raised his glowing hand towards Chris.
"Crow! No!" Raven yelled, but Crow didn't listen.
A black vortex then opened in back of Chris sucking her in. Chris tried standing her ground as she looked up at the Titans.
"Robin! Please! I'm sorry!" Chris cried, her voice sounding as though she were begging for forgiveness. Robin just shut his eyes trying not to look at her. He was really mad at her, and Chris was the one he was mad at.
Chris lowered her arms down and dropped her head with her eyes closed. Robin, the one boy that ever made her feel safe and protected and loved, was mad at her.
"I see." She sighed sadly. She looked up at him. "Goodbye." She cried as her whole body went into the vortex. Chris was gone.
Robin turned fully and saw Chris vanish into the vortex. He bit his lip and clenched his fist tightly trying to hold back his tears. A comforting hand, belonging to Crow, rested on his shoulder. Robin looked up at him. Crow gave him a comforting smile and patted him on the back.
"You did the right thing man."
Robin sighed. "Then why do I feel so lousy?"
Just then, Raven smacked Robin and Crow upside the head. They both turned around quickly yelling out a painful "OW!"
"What the hell is wrong with you two? You just sent Chris, the girl who was just working for Slade, back to her dimension with powers stronger than all of ours put together!" She screamed.
Crow glared at Raven and smacked her against the head. "Um, hello! Don't you think we already know that?"
"We sent Chris back to her dimension but we're certain that she won't be causing any trouble." Robin told her.
"Yeah, the vortex thingy I sent her through had a little spell in it that shut her powers for good. The only time she'll gain them back is if she ever comes back to this dimension, which will be never." Crow laughed folding his arms.
Raven gave them a surprised look. "Wow, I'm impressed. My older brother actually did something smart."
"Thanks." Crow said happily. His face then fell. "Hey! What's that suppose to me?"
Beast Boy looked over at Robin who was leaning on the wall with his hands shoved in his pockets.
"Hey Robin—you okay?" He asked.
Robin turned and saw Beast Boy standing in back of him. He wiped his masked eyes. "Yeah, I'm fine." He choked; sadness in his voice.
Beast Boy laid a comforting hand on his shoulder. "Listen dude, I know it's rough seeing the person you care about leave or do something behind your back. But you'll get over it . . . eventually."
Robin turned and gave Beast Boy a serious look. He sighed. "I don't think I'll ever get over her Beast Boy."
Beast Boy sighed but then gave Robin a caring smile. "Don't worry man, you still got us. There will be other Chris'." He smiled patting him on the back.
Robin turned away and leaned on the wall once again. "I'm going to my room." He said.
"Um, all right." Beast Boy said. He sighed; Robin was really heartbroken.
"How's Robin?" Raven asked walking towards Beast Boy.
"He's really heartbroken about Chris. I don't think even I was this heartbroken when Terra . . . well—you know."
"I'm sure he'll get over it. He just needs a little time."
Robin plopped himself on his bed, burry his face in his pillow. He turned and looked up at the ceiling thinking about Chris one last time.
"About what I said earlier—please, at least think about it. Okay?"
"Don't worry man, you still got us. There will be other Chris'."
Robin sighed pitifully. "There will never be another Chris."
Waaaaahhh! Poor Robin! Well, that's the end of that chapter. Okay, I really gotta go. It's already gettin' late. Well, see y'all next time. Peace out!
