Chapter Five

--Through Slade's Eyes

Robin was thrown against the wall, head first. The impact was hard, but not hard enough to knock him out. He slowly slid down the wall, landing on his hands and knees.

"Very good, Robin, but, obviously, not good enough."

Victoria turned towards Beast Boy, whispering, "You think I should sneak up behind him?"

He nodded, "It's worth a try."

She chewed on her bottom lip, looking around, trying to find away where she could get behind Slade without being discovered first. She played the entire route in her head before she was sure she knew what to do.

Slipping into the shadows, she climbed the ladder up the wall until she was up towards the first machine. She jumped on top of it.

Just as she figured, the hinges to the ladder were weak. She grabbed both sides to the ladder and snapped them right off the hinges, careful not to be heard. She placed the ladder sideways, making a bridge towards the next machine. She carefully got down on her hands and knees and crawled across to the other machine.

She stood back to her feet and grabbed the ladder, doing the same to get over to the next two machines until she was pretty much even with Slade's backside.

She took the ladder and slowly lowered it downwards to the floor. It would have been possible, yet and much quicker to just simply jump down but she knew very well her heavy leather boots would make a loud sound and Slade would see her before she even got close to him.

She jumped down the last few steps, landing with her knees bent to reduce the noise from landing. She snuck up behind him, slowly picking up a long metal bar, holding it high above her head.

She was only a foot behind him and her arms swung over her head like a wheel, smashing his helmet with tremendous force, cracking it. Before he even had a chance to react and turn around, she had already kicked him in his lower back, throwing him to the floor.

"You insolent, son of a bitch!" Slade said, struggling to his feet, "You snuck onto me two times in one day…now that's one great honor."

"Stop talking smack, I snuck up on you, so what?"

Using a great amount of energy, he blasted a great sonic power towards her chest, making her fly back to the wall.

"Victoria!" Beast Boy cried, running to her. Slade laughed, turning back to fighting Robin. Beast Boy ran up to Victoria's side, "Victoria…are you…"

"I'm fine," she said in an angry tone. She looked around, playing another plan in her head, "Beast Boy, you see that beam over hanging us?"

He tilted his head upwards and then nodded, "Yeah."

"I'm gonna give you a boost and you point it in the direction where I make a large circle. When I tell you, you fire it straight forward, you hear?"

He shrugged, "Ok…but are you sure you're…"

"I'll say it again, I'm fine, stop worrying so much," she cupped her hands her leaned it up against the beam's bottom. Beast Boy shoved his foot into her hands, jumping upwards to grab the top of the beam. Victoria pushed up with all her might so he can get up, "Ok…I'm gonna make a target circle, you aim the beam and then fire it when I say go."

He nodded, "Just be careful."

She nodded back at him and ran for some rubbish she could use to make the circle. She found two long metal bars and bended them both to the shapes of half circles and then put them together to make a whole.

She walked up to the middle of the room and placed the circle down, avoiding suspicion from anyone, including Slade. She pointed towards the circle, signally Beast Boy that was the spot.

She picked up another metal strip, bending it into a weird shape so it fit the way like a boomerang. She readied it in her hands.

"Strength, don't fail me now," she said, cocking her hand backwards. She threw the boomerang parallel to Slade and it swiftly swooped over and hit him the side of his head. She smiled, and plucked her muscle power for the next.

"You again…" Slade said, running over to her. She took a step back away from the circle.

And she waited until Slade was only two steps in front of the circle before she shouted, "Beast Boy, now!"

He fired the beam but his aim was off by a bit. Yes, it hit Slade but singed Victoria's hands slightly making a burning sensation cut through her body.

She screamed out in pain, looking down at her hands. Her skin was peeling right from her very bones.

"Beast Boy, what did you do to her?" Cyborg screamed.

"She told me to fire the beam," he said, jumping down from the beam's stander. He ran over to her to see if she was alright.

She pulled away from him, "I'm fine, really. I scream to let out pain fuses. Wish I can say the same for Slade," he pointed towards the place where Slade was supposedly laying.

The metal circle had been burnt and was now bent into more of a square now but Slade's body was nowhere to be found.

Robin walked over to Victoria, placing a hand on her shoulder, "Let's go home…to Titan's Tower. We'll help you with those hands of yours."

She smiled and nodded, trying to bite back the screaming pain.

A/N-Ok, so maybe it didn't show through Slade's perspective but at least now you've seen the true power, more likely, brainpower of my OC.

This is the moment many have been waiting for, when we kill off one of the characters. Matt, of course.

The next chapter will reveal…Cutting Loose and Deciding Another
