Finally, the last of the Alliance Day chapters! Now we can finally move on to better things!

Like you know, the actual plot.

I hope that making Blackfire the focus of this chapter makes up for the lack of her in the previous chapters.

Probably doesn't.

Robin's POV

"Blackfire!" I said running over to her "I don't want to sound ungrateful but… was that allowed?"

"Sure it is" she said while flipping her hair "This is a villain event, remember? Anything goes"

"Yeah, I guess…" Note to self: stay far away from Joker. Otherwise I might actually end up covered in my own blood begging for mercy.

"It's still probably a good idea to get away from her unconscious body. I'd rather not deal with the little brat when she wakes up." She said while grabbing my hand and began leading me away.

And for the record, I was not blushing.

"So… Rob- I mean Renegade. You changed your name to Renegade, right?" Blackfire asked.

"Well… not really. You see, the public just kind of began calling me it. As an insult." I admitted " Nowadays everyone seems to call me it though, even Slade."

"Oh" She said sympathetically "That must be terrible. Having it catch on so much that even those closest to you call you something that was meant to be an insult.

"Wait, Slade's the guy who took you under his wing when you left the Titans, right?" She suddenly asked.

"Yes, he took me in as his apprentice." I explained

"What's he like? Other than calling you Renegade?" Blackfire inquired.

"He's nice" I hated the words the moment they escaped my mouth, but I had an image to uphold. And as much as I hated the image, the consequences for ruining it would be dire.

"Good." she simply stated.

"Hey, what was that Bitch's deal? The one I saved you from earlier?" Blackfire asked

"Her name's Kittens, she's the daughter of Killer Moth" I explained "She's a spoiled brat. Doesn't understand what the word 'no' means. When her boyfriend Fang broke up with her, she blackmailed me into going to her prom with her. Even though they got back together, apparently she just can't take the idea that there's a boy who doesn't fall to his knees at the sight of her."

"You should've told me earlier! Well I guess that would've been impossible, but if I'd have known I would've… I guess that may have been a little too much, even for a villain event…" I raised an eyebrow as she rambled.

"What would you have done?" I mean I had to know what she was thinking of.

"If I'd known, and we'd been in a little more private of a setting then I would've taken the time to snap the little brat's neck"

"What?" I couldn't hide my shock. I guess I shouldn't be surprised considering who I'm talking to, but I didn't expect her idea to be so brutal.

"You're right, I should do it if I ever meet her again." She continued, calmly.

"Blackfire, I know she's a brat, but isn't that a little extreme?" I asked, nervously. Maybe I could convince her out of it.

"Robin, she's more than a brat. Most brats can't take no for an answer, but she takes it to the extreme. She wants you, and has no morals in sight. She already blackmailed you into a date, who knows what she'll do next?"

"You're worried she'll rape me?"

"Exactly"

"Look Blackfire, I understand you're just worried about me, but please don't do anything drastic ok?"

She solemnly nodded "fine, if you insist on being so nice to her."

"Thanks" I was flattered by her concern -not many were for me these days, not that I blame them- but I really didn't feel comfortable with her plan for Kittens.

"May I ask you something?" I asked

"Sure. Actually, you're encouraged, what is it?"

"Um, how are you here?" I asked sheepishly.

"Excuse me?"

"How did you escape jail?" I mean I had to know "Those policemen looked tough."

"Oh, that" she shrugged "The only reason they were only kind of a threat is because of their Snyforgina." She must've seen the confusion on my face because she quickly added "The Snyforgina was the big slimy tentacle that grabs people."

"Oh, that makes sense"

"After escaping I was planning on Earth just being a quick stop, but I heard the news of you changing sides, and had to check on you. When I got invited to Alliance Day, I knew it was my chance.

"And don't worry, there's no hard feeling about my capture. Never were." I released a breath I hadn't realized I'd been holding -and didn't even know why I'd been holding it in the first place.

Why did I care what Blackfire thought of me after what she'd done to Star? This wasn't good…

"Hey look!" She suddenly said, giggling while pointing at Joker.

Apparently last time I saw him I'd been so wrapped up in him beating Harley and threatening me that I hadn't noticed his doughnut themed boxers.

"Joker's like that. He looks silly on the outside, but he's actually a madman capable of insane acts of violence that kill thousands of innocents." I notified her.

Blackfire paused "You still have a hero in you"

"Uh… old habits die hard I guess?" I said, sheepishly.

"No, it's fine. Actually it's a good thing" Blackfire clarified "it means you're still the boy I fe- befriended back at Titan Tower."

"Thanks for understanding"

"So… What do you wanna do?" She asked me "There's an open bar over there"

"The open bar… aren't you sixteen?!" I questioned.

She shrugged "Yeah, so?"

"Um… I don't know if you know this but…" I stuttered "you're too young to be drinking!"

"Oh I mean I guess there's a rule on your planet about the age of drinking" she replied "Humans can be so paranoid with their rules sometimes."

"Blackfire, it's not par-" I was interrupted when we were approached by an all too familiar face.

"Renegade, I see you made a friend" Slade began doing that stupid thing were he looks someone up and down, as if analyzing them on Blackfire. She didn't seem to mind though.

"Slade, I've heard a lot about you! If what I hear is true, you're one of the best." She said, smiling despite his cold gaze.

"I see, and your Blackfire of Tamaran" I couldn't help but feel shocked at the amount he knew about Blackfire -and it was hardly anything.

She tried to hide it, but I knew it got on Blackfire's nerves too. But she quickly brushed it off with a larger smile.

"I had no idea I was so famous"

"Don't flatter yourself, Princess. I only learned about you while researching your sister."

"Well, that's kinda creepy" she muttered "but no matter, I have a request.

"As you know it's Alliance Day. So I was hoping to take the time to ask you if you'd wish to be… allies?" She nervously asked.

So Blackfire wanted to ally with Slade. And I wasn't stupid, I knew why.

She'd told me she'd only stayed on Earth to check on me. And if I was the reason she was on Earth, than I was probably the reason she wanted to stay on Earth.

And what better way to stay close to me than to ally with my Master, Slade?

And I honestly had no idea what I felt about it. It was all too confusing.

"I see…" Slade narrowed his eye. I gulped as he began grabbing something out of his belt.

"Fine then, let's start with the obvious. Here's my business card. Yours?" I couldn't help but feel relieved he'd just pulled out this business card. Blackfire did not appear to share my relief.

"Business card?" The young Tamaranian asked, confused. Master sighed.

"Teenagers…"

"Actually it's because I'm an alie-"

""Fine. We'll meet at these coordinates." he said while something -presumably the coordinates- on an index card with a pen he'd grabbed from a nearby table.

"Great!" She said, excitedly grabbing the paper once he was done.

"I would suggest you rest up for tomorrow, Princess. After all I'd hate for your interview and test to be as disappointing as your knowledge of making allies on alliance day."

"I'll do that." She replied, smiling despite how threatening his previous words were. "Just have a certain someone I need to say bye to." Before turning to me.

"So I guess I'll be seeing you tomorrow?" I asked.

"Yeah see you tomorrow" She replied.

And with that, the young villainess was off, leaving me confused on my own feelings towards everything that had just happened.

And the plot has finally kicked off.

Credit to biginferno for the idea of Robin lecturing Blackfire on her bad habits.

And don't worry, her bad habits will come up again. They are going to be their own little subplot. That's how awesome your idea is!

Please R&R!
