Disclaimer: refer to previous chapter
Chapter 39:
Kick. Punch. Jab
Sweay rolled down his face as he punched the living daylights out of the punching bag, Amy's words still ringing in his head.
I heard Slade and Mont talking about you, they are going to do something bad, REAL bad.
What was Slade planning?
I prefer a living freind over a dead one.
Slade would not kill him, It wasent his nature.
but then what?
Angered, he punched the bag with all the strength he could muster. The chain snapped and the bag dropped down to the ground like a heavy sack of potatoes.
'And I thought I needed anger management' commented Amy from the other side of the room where she was running on the treadmill.
'Anger management, right' he replied dryly 'I think you need it more than I do' he remarked as one of the bolts holding the treadmill in place flew across the room.
'Oh har-de-har' she replied back and jumped off the treadmill just as another bolt flew off 'and what is that supposed to mean?'
'Figure it out genius'
'Youre the sherelock'
'the who are you? Watson?'
'No im not'
'Yes you are'
'Dont make me hurt you' she said as she took up a mock fighting stance.
'Id like to see you try' he replied with a cocky smile.
'Enough' a cold hard voice sounded in the whole room, silencing them as Mont walked towards the two teenagers.
'You are supposed to be fighting, not bickering'
'Who says we're bickering?' he contorted.
'Yeah, this is just a normal conversation' agreed Amy.
'I SAID ENOUGH!' he yelled angrily, immediatly shutting them up once more.
He gave Robin an icy glare 'Slade will see you in a moment, stay here' and grabbed Amy roughly by the arm 'as for you, we have combat practise'
Amy sighed and shot Robin a smile as Monte dragged her towards the other side of the room 'congratulations, you are one of the few to witness me getting my butt kicked'
He couldnt help but smile back, Amy had guts all right.
Both of them were at the other side of the room now. Mont had let go of Amy's arm and beckoned her forwards with one finger. Amy's expression changed from her usual happy go luckiness to pure hatred as she quickly took up a battle stance.
Robin felt like a spectator at a wrestling match when Amy suddenly lunged at Monte, surprising him and punched him in the jaw. Mont stumbeled back but quickly regained his composure and blocked the punch Amy had aimed for his face.
Not bad, not bad at all.
Mont had her cornered in the wall and drew his fist back to punch her light out but Amy then did something which could have surprised Slade himself.
As soon as Mont drew his fist back, a smirk appeared on her face and she flipped over the surprised man and knocked him into the wall with her feet.
Robin could have almost laughed out loud on the look on Mont's face as he quickly recollected himself and charged at the teenage girl, his face red with anger.
Amy flipped over him once more and aimed a round house kick for his neck but somehow, Mont anticipated the move and caught her ankle inches away from thier target, just like Slade had done with him so many times.
The look of suprise was evident on the girl's face as Mont easily lifted her with her ankle and swung her into one of the walls.
Ouch, that has got to hurt He thought and almost thought of helping her when he saw the expression on Amy's face.
It was the same expression he had whenever he was with Slade, murderous and wounded at the same time. He was not supposed to interfear, this was something she had to do by herself.
Speaking of Slade, where was he anyway? he wasent the type to keep one waiting, especially if it was a chance to hurt Robin or his ego.
'Dont worry, im right behind you'
Robin's face paled and he whirled around to see Slade standing right behind him, how the heck did he sneak up on him like that? noone was that quiet!
'You seem to be quite intrested in thier battle' he continued as though nothing was wrong.
Robin didnt answer, he just gave Slade the iciest glared he could muster, it wasent anything new, Slade ws quite used to it.
'I expect you to answer me when I speak to you boy!' he said angrily and forced Robin to look at him by yanking him by the hair.
But as usual, Robin said nothing, atleast he was getting on Slade's nerves.
But unfortunately, Slade does not like being ignored.
He backhanded him across the face, making him wince the tiniest bit and released his hair, walking a few steps away from him.
'But im not here to teach you obedience' he carried on 'That will come by time' he faced him, his one eye mocking him.
'What do you want?' Robin spat out, his irritation getting the best of him as anger bubbled in his chest.
'I want you to show me what youve got Robin' he said, not moving from his place 'Because if youre going to fight like a pathetic little weakling than ill just destroy your feinds and leave you to rot in this country' he replied as he picked up a fighting stance.
All right, that does it, his anger getting the better of him, He quickly picked up a fighting stance just as Slade attacked.
TtTtTtTtTtTtTtTtTtTtTtTtTtTt
Batman's eyes scanned the news clipping in front of him as he sat in Robin's room with all his case files and bits of information on Slade.
All of them told one thing.
Slade was one maniptive bastard. (sorry for the swear word)
Sparks, Beast boy and Jmaes were at the abandoned airfield looking for clues and Starfire, Cyborg and Raven were looking for information on the computers and Batman...
Well Batman was sitting in his ward's room, hoping to shed some light on the situation.
But so far, all was dark.
He did not blame them, Deathstroke was quite the dodger but that did not stop him from yelling at Beastboy for letting a complete stranger in thier abode and then he had a glaring contest and a conversation with James.
But he still didnt trust him.
Honestly, teenagers did not think at all.
He sighed as he picked up a case file labelled 'SA' (bet you dont know what that stands for) , his tired eyes growing more weary by the second.
'I'll find you Richard' he whispered to himself.
TtTtTt
'Oh where could he be!' Starfire yelled with anxiety as they studied yet another news clipping.
'Calm down Starfire' said Cyborg fearfully that the girl might have another one of her nervous fits.
'How can I calm down?' she yelled angrily and thumped her fist on the table, making the whole tower shake 'He might be injured or even dead'
'Stop thinking that way' said Raven 'It isint going to help' Starfire looked at her with her blazing eyes but calmed down, tears sprkling in her big eyes.
'My apologies freind! I am just worried' she half-whispered and slumped in her seat 'It has been so long since I heard his voice'
'We know Star, we miss him too' said Cyborg and patted her on the shoulder.
Raven looked at the distressed girl and couldnt help but feel sorry for her.
Where are you Robin? Why are you causing us so much pain? cant you see the team is breaking apart?
TTttTTTtTtTtTtTtTtTtTtTtTtTtTt
He aimed a punch for his chest but he caught him and flung him into a wall like a rag doll, making him see stars.
They had been fighting for over an hour now, and Robin was getting tired but he was not about to give Slade the satisfaction of hearing that.
Slade said to give all he had.
And he was giving it.
He had caught Slade numerous times in the stomach and the face but the man didnt even say 'ouch'
What was he anyway?
Inhuman?
He blocked Slade's attacks as he backed into a wall But Slade fought with even more ferocity, his punches becoming more accurate with every second.
Finally after what seemed like an eternity, Slade caught him in the ribs with a punch and knocked him into the wall with his other hand around his neck.
Not good!
Amusement flickered in the man's eye as he shut off Robin's air supply, weakening him.
What kind of a monster got pleasure from hurting others?
Slade, duh!
'That was excellent Robin' he said and let go of the teenager who slumped to the ground 'Youre becoming like me every second'
'Im nothing like you' he gasped out and shook his head a couple of times to ragain his vision 'Ill never be like you'
Amused, Slade grasped his hair in his steely grip and made him look towards him 'On the contra're Robin, you are exactly like me' he said in his soft voice and walked out of the room.
He tried to get up but fell back again with a groan. He never knew he could hste someone so much in his life.
'Hey Robin, you ok?' came a voice and he looked at the teenage girl who was crawling towards him on shaky knees.
'Peachy' he answered sarcastically. Amy looked at him with her blood-stained face, her goofy smile back in place.
'You dont look too hot'
'Neither do you'
Amy smiled and slumped in the wall next to him 'Why do you think that those two are over working us?'
'Over working?'
She showed him her broken wrist 'Lets just say this was a scratch'
'Probably to keep us busy'
'Or to keep us from talking, or meeting'
'I guess'
Amy gave a tired groan and with the support of the wall, stood up on shaky libs and outsretched her arm towards him 'c'mon, you cant just lie there all day can you?'
He gratefully took her help and both of them slowly made thier way out of the room, dragging themselves towards thier rooms.

Josh: yay! all done!
please review guys, oh and heres how CI broke her hand:
It was 6 in the morning and CI, me and another freind were learning how to drive by her uncle.
I did my turn and almost broke the car! but when it was CI's turn, something happened.
She was just driving on the main road with her uncle in the passenger street and us in the back when a big white sports car drove up next to us.
CI sped up so we left it behind but it caught up to us and stayed by our side, no matter how fast CI drove.
It all happened fast, The guy in the other car pointed a gun in CI's direction. I was about to shout out but apparently didnt need to as CI smirked and smashed the car right into thier's!
the guy's gun went flying out of his hand and on the street. He quickly ran for it but her uncle got thier first and emptied it before throwing it away.
We all thought that the guy was going to make a run for it but he had a crazy look in his eye. He took out a knife from his pocket and flung it at CI's face.
We screamed, (duh!) I mean, it was going to hit her neck and I dont think there was enough room to dodge it. But to our suprise, CI shot out her hand the knife went right through it, dislodging a bone.
The guy fled after seeing this ofcourse but her enraged uncle ran after him. We all stared at her hand in horror and the white bone which was stiking out of her hand in a real unnatural way. Her uncle had lost the guy unfortunately but he was worried sick when he saw CI and we took her to the hospital and you know the rest!
But it was an experience that I donot ant to experience again...
Are ya happy now? ;)
