Chapter Eleven

Cowardly Slade

Matt came up from behind Victoria and grabbed her before she could react. He held her tightly as Slade approached her.

"Shoot her," Matt said.

Victoria struggled but found no progress from doing so. Her mind was racing with thoughts as she tried to come up with a plan. She couldn't come up with one. Slade raised the gun not to Victoria, but towards the teen titans.

"So, my dear, it has come to this," he said to her, "Either you cut the crap or your friends will die right now."

Victoria stopped struggling and hung her head, "Ok, I'll do as you say," she said sadly, "Just don't hurt them."

Slade smiled evilly and signalled Matt to let her go, who did. He walked over to her and handed her the gun.

"My first task for you is to destroy the teen titans," he said with his evil smile still pasted on his face.

She refused to take the gun, "That's not fair. You promised you wouldn't hurt them."

"I promised nothing."

Victoria's eyes widened. She couldn't do anything. She was in a trap. No, you're not. She thought to herself. And then came the plan. Her mind was racing back to school, when she was in gym. She had taken an archery class. And she was the best aimer.

But she knew a gun was going to be different. Aiming was going to be hard. But she had to try. She nodded and took the gun, aiming it at the teen titans. When she was sure her aim was right, she fired five quick shots and smoke filled the room, blocking the view.

The smoke began to clear and Victoria braced herself for what she might see if she had made a mistake. It was clear and there stood the teen titans, unshackled and ready for a fight.

"This can't be possible!" Slade yelled, "How did you..."

Victoria smiled, "Thanks to be archery skills, I was able to shoot the shackles," she laughed boutfully, "Didn't see that comming, did you?"

Slade growled.

"Oh, come on, quit growling like Matt."

Slade motioned for Matt to come by him, which he did, and he pulled out the same pebble that he pulled before at the school.

"We will meet again, Victoria," he said, "I can assure you, we will meet again."

Victoria ran towards them but it was too late. The pebble had smashed into the ground and the two of them vanished in a cloud of smoke. Slade had gotten away again.
