Bunny raven: hey guys!...wat up? Hope ya like this chapter, I had to write this one in recess.
Chapter 17:
Sparks and speedy bounded from roof to roof, racing to see who would finish patrol duty first.
'You can't beat me speedy im just too good for you' sparks teased while she bounded ahead, panting
'Oh yeah? They don't call me speedy for nothing' he answered with a smile as he doubled his speed, making sparks gasp
They both reached the end of town together. 'Hey you're not that bad' speedy said as he stopped to catch his breath. 'Your not so bad yourself' sparks answered. Speedy smiled 'wait whats that' he said, pointing to a dark shape of a building a 100 yards or so. 'Dunno..Lets check it out' sparks answered and both of them bounded off again. Upon reaching, they saw that it was an old, abandoned warehouse but why was the light on?
'Do you think we should contact the others?' speedy asked 'no, we'll check it out ourselves...I just hope that this isn't joker's new hideout' sparks said and they hid in the bushes. Few androids walked out of the big wooden doors 'this is diffidently not the joker's place' sparks whispered 'I think I know whose it is then' speedy whispered back, masked eyes narrowing. Cyborg had told him that slade's robots always had an 'S' on them and these androids had it too... 'Who?' sparks asked 'I think we should contact the others first' speedy replied, not sure what to do
They contacted cyborg first 'I think we've found his hideout' speedy said and cyborg's face hardened 'are you sure?' he asked 'positive' he replied 'it's a warehouse at least a hundred yards out of town. Think you can get here?' he added cyborg grinned 'faster than you' and he switched it off
'Don't you think we should contact raven and beastboy too?' sparks asked 'cyborg will do that' speedy answered 'meanwhile I think we should find a way in' 'how about the old fire escape?' sparks said, pointing a finger at the chute on top of the roof. Speedy smiled 'and I thought you were dump...' sparks glared at that.
Both of them crept on the roof to the small fire-escape chute. Speedy looked at it in confusion 'I don't think ill fit in it' 'I will' said sparks proudly 'hey when you're as flexible as me, you can fit in most places' 'hey you're a girl...girls are made elastic anyway..' 'Whats that supposed to mean? 'Nothing' he answered timidly. 'Ok wait here...ill go in and find robin...wait for cyborg and don't reveal yourselves' she said confidently and slipped in, with speedy staring at empty space
cyborg
Cyborg switched off his communicator and turned the car around, his heart racing...finally! Some good news! 'What did speedy tell you friend cyborg?' starfire asked from the next seat.
'He says he found slade's hideout' cyborg answered
'Oh wonderous!' starfire exclaimed 'now we shall be able to rescue robin'
'yeah star...we will' cyborg replied, happy now that he had seen a smile on the redhead's face...at least she was happy now...'don't you think we should contact friends raven and beastboy?' starfire asked 'oh yeah...I almost forgot' and he quickly took out his communicator and contacted raven
'What is it cyborg? Better be good news because imp getting tired of hearing about beast boy's heroic act' she said sarcastically. Cyborg smiled 'speedy and sparks have found slade's hide and imp going there right now'. Raven's eyes widened and her face brightened for a split second and then regained its emotionless features once more 'where is it then?' 'Hundred yards out of town...meet you there and don't draw any attention to yourself all right' raven nodded and cyborg switched off his communicator...things was finally turning around...
slade
He was getting real annoyed at robin now. He had refused for the last time and if he didn't agree, he would just have to force that boy to face his reality and future. He pressed a few buttons on the key board and pictures appeared on the screen, every one of them was showing one part of the warehouse. He pressed another button and the camera he had secretly hid in robin's room switched on, the boy wasn't doing anything...just staring out the window...it almost seemed as if he had given up...impossible. Slade knew robin, he was thinking of something...he could feel it, he and robin were so much alike... it was only natural for him to be his apprentice...
he walked slowly towards his throne-like chair this was going to be good, he liked to see his prey struggle...to see how far it could run before he hunted it down again...that was the joy of being a bad guy...he just hoped that the other titans would not interfere in his plans...and if they did, well, he would just make robin fight them, beat them , kill them ... especially that annoying little red-headed girl for who robin had a special weakness for...
He got up and walked to the huge computer screen again, eyeing the still figure of robin. 'Soon my apprentice, you will understand' he said while touching the image. A knock on the door interrupted his thoughts...Slade quickly withdrew his hand 'come in' an android stepped in and handed him a piece of paper. Slade read it carefully and then smiled...this was going perfectly...
sparks
Whoa that was close she thought as she hid behind a huge cardboard box...it wasn't easy sneaking around this place...too many cameras and guards. Another group of androids walked past her hiding spot and she was sure that they had spotted her...but thankfully, she was wrong
after the androids had gone, she silently crept out of her hiding place and into the corridor...it had doors on either side...finding robin was going to be hard in this place she thought as she turned cupped her ear to the first door to listen for any noises...not even a peep…robin wasn't here…she was sure that he would make some kind of noise.
She crept to the next door…a light was shining from under it and she was sure that robin was being kept in there. She opened the door as quietly as possible and went in, only to find robin staring at the stars outside. She panicked…did slade do something? …there was only one way to find out…she walked behind him and placed a hand on his shoulder, thinking to turn him around to see if he was all right but as soon as she laid her hand on his shoulder, he quickly grabbed it and threw her aside 'for the last time im not joining you' he said as he turned around and his eyes widened when he saw who it was 'you're welcome' sparks said sarcastically 'oh its you….sorry' he said as he helped her up 'I thought you were slade' sparks rubbed her head 'yeah but next time be sure to use those eyes of yours' she said
'Ok' he grinned 'so…how do we get out of here?' 'C'mon just follow me' said sparks and she was about to step out the door when she found the exit blocked by two androids 'oh great' she said 'stand behind me, this will take a minute' and she zapped them so hard that they exploded. They stepped into the corridor quietly 'all we have to do is climb up the fire escape which is just around the corner from here 'sparks continued and both of them made their way down the corridor. They reached the fire escape without much difficulty.
All of a sudden, they heard an angry roar 'move' said robin and sparks scrambled up, not aware of the noise she was making. Robin got out after her and paused to smell the fresh air 'I never thought id ever see outside again' he said and sparks smiled 'c'mon wonder boy speedy and the others are waiting in the trees nearby and batman…well lets just say he will go to sleep for once' and both of them bounded off as the factory wall shuddered as if someone was pounding on it.
raven
She and beastboy hovered near the tree in which speedy and starfire were hiding in 'dude whats taking them so long?' beastboy whispered to speedy 'they should be coming out by now' speedy whispered back 'look here they come' he said as two figures bounded up to them.
'See? I can handle stuff pretty well' sparks gloated 'all right you wi-' but speedy was interrupted by starfire who had flew past him and hugged robin 'oh friend I am so glad you are unharmed! Let us leave this horrible place and go celebrate'
'Dude I thought I would never see you again' beastboy exclaimed 'I think its time for one of cyborg's special barbecue' cyborg grinned 'glad to have you back' raven said in her monotone voice robin smiled 'im glad to see you guys too' everyone sneaked out but raven had a severe headache when she looked at robin….he wasn't being controlled anymore but then why was she getting those bad vibes again? This was too weird…his mind was a blank too…but it seemed as if he was at ease… that was a good thing
'Hey Rae you ok?' cyborg asked brightly 'fine' raven replied tonelessly some how, she didn't believe her self…
