Chapter 42:

Amy staggered down the hallway while leaving a trail of blood behind her with tears in her black eyes. Mont's ''punishment'' included a whip and a rope. He had tied her up from the ceiling with her arms and had whipped her till a pool of blood had formed below...a pool much bigger than herself.

Damn him, Damn Slade she thought as she remebered him laughing at her whenever she screamed...how could someone be so heartless? how could any human watch a fifteen year old girl get whipped by a madman and then laugh at her?

He was no human, he was a monster

Suddenly, her ears perked up and she heard two voices talking behind the door she had just passed. Forgetting all her injuries, she quickly placed her ear on the surface of the smooth wood, trying to distingush the voices.

Slade and Mont were talking about something in there and luckily, her trained ears could catch what they were saying.

'Wilson, you know as very well as I do that Robin might escape if we dont test it on him'

'Or we could just eliminate Amy instead'

'I cannot allow you to do that'

A sigh.

'What do you see in her Mont?'

'What do you dont see in her Slade? she is the perfect apprentice for me, I have been monitering her for quite some time'

'Very well'

'So you agree?'

'Yes, it is only logical to make Robin forget about her, I dont want him to escape again'

'Good, then Ill make the machine ready while you go get him'

'But are you sure that this will erase his memories?'

'Have I ever been wrong before?'

Amy could not stifle her gasp as she heard thier conversation Robin will forget everything? he wont remember his teammates? he wont remember Batman? He wont even remember HER?

She quickly jumped back as the door opened and Slade fixed her with a murderous look in his one eye 'apparently, I give you less credit than your worth for'.

Forgetting that her body was on the verge of collapsing, forgetting that her blood was pouring out of her like water gushing out of a fountain, She quickly dodged him and ran for the stairs, running with all the strength she had left.

She could hear Slade behind her and she doubled her speed, finally reaching the first landing and running towards Robin's room.

I have to warn him, I will not let them hurt the only freind Ive ever had she thought frantically

and before she knew it, a yell tore from her throat 'ROBIN!'

TtTtTt

Robin was punching the wall in frustration, Slade had mocked him and to top it all off, he didnt know where Mont had dragged Amy and he had no idea what type of ''punishment'' he had in mind for her.

But from the look in his eyes, it was nothing good.

He was about to punch again when he heard Amy's voice.

'ROBIN!'

Hero instincts kicking in, he stopped his punch in mid-throw and bolted for the door, wrenching it open with unexpected force.

He looked down the corridor with widened masked eyes. A bleeding Amy was running towards his room and Slade was right behind her with a murderous look in his one eye.

Uh Oh, not good...

But despite her injuries, Amy reached Robin first 'You have to make a run for it!'

'But im not leavi-'

'You idiot! just go! Ill be fine!' she interrupted, fear etched into her features as she pushed him behind her 'Please, Ill be fine; you can come rescue me later...and my brother too!'

'No Amy, im not leaving you behind'

'Youre not leaving me behind! im leaving me behind!' she yelled as Slade caught upto her 'Ill hold him off, just haul yourself out of here!' she said and blocked Slade's punch with her bloodied hands as Robin took off from the opposite side.

I cant beleive what Im doing he thought and looked back to see Amy swing a kick at his masked head Amy could easily die at his hands...

'Take a picture it will last longer!' he heard Amy's annoyed yell as he stared at thier fight 'I thought I told you to beat it, so start beating it!'

But Robin was rooted to the spot, his past mistakes resurfacing themselves to show how he almost killed his freinds by being so selfish...he could not think of himself while other people's lives were in danger.

In this case, Amy was on the verge of death.

And no matter what, he would not let her die.

That would be against everything he stood for.

He heard a cry of pain from Amy and before he knew it, he had kicked Slade from the side, sending him into the wall.

But he knew that Slade would not stay down for long.

Amy was on all fours and coughing up blood. He kneeled down next to her 'Are you ok?'

Amy looked at him with horror and anger in her eyes 'I thought I told you to get going!' she said with calculated feirceness 'Please Robin, I can take care of myself and Slade cant kill me...I cant lose another one' she had tears in her eyes now.

Other one? ok, now im confused 'what are you talking about Amy?'

'Dont you get it!' she yelled at him 'They are going to erase your memories' she added, making him turn pale 'And you will cause me more harm then, I can endure the pain Robin just go'

He was a loss for words as she slowly get up and pushed him aside as Slade kicked her in the stomach 'But if you want to help me, just go and get my brother from the third door to the left' she said and quickly dodged Slade's punch, her look of sadness replaced by pure anger as she fought back with renewed energy.

Robin didnt stop this time, The message Amy had been wanting to clearify was crystal clear now, All her efforts to get him out of here would not be for nothing.

He kicked down the third door to find a thin teenage boy asleep on the bed, his hair drenched with sweat and Robin figured that he was Amy's brother.

The resemblence is really uncanny...he thought and easily lifted him with his arms This guy is even lighter than I am he thought and quickly made his way out the door and down the stairs.

Suddenly, he heard another scream from upstairs and almost stopped when he heard Amy's voice ringing in his ears.

'They are going to erase your memories'

'And you will cause me more harm then, I can endure the pain Robin'

'Just go'

Her words fueled him with more energy as he ran past the many doors and finally out of the big mansion, trying to get air into his lungs.

The sound of sea waves crashing on the rocks below was quite soothing, disregarding the previous events ofcourse.

Ill find you Amy, your effort wont be for nothing he thought and tore his gaze from the manor and sprinted off with her brother in his arms I promise.

TtTtTtTtTtTtTtTtTtTtTt

Ravens amethyst eyes bolted open as she felt her head throbbing with extreme force. She had just felt two emotions at thier most powerful rate, panic and greif.

'Raven, is something wrong?' Beastboy asked from next to her as looked at her with his jade eyes in thier new ''Head quarters' which, ironically was a cave furnished with modern gadgetry, compliments from Batman...

And Cyborg ofcourse.

Sparks had used her energy to power the cave and now they were finally resting (except for Batman) when Raven had felt those two emotions.

But they were not her's.

They were Robin's.

'Hes close' she said emotionlessly, her eyes travelling towards Batman's cloaked back as he sat hunched on the computer, searching for information 'I think hes somewhere near the coast'

Batman just nodded, and then without a word, stood up from his seat and walked calmly outside 'All of you stay here, Im going out'

'But we wanna help!' whined Beast boy but quickly closed his mouth when he received a glared from Batman.

'You need rest, Ill search for Robin and bring him here' he said darkly.

'Let me come with you' Raven said in the boldest voice she could muster 'We have a bond, I can help you find him'

Everyone held thier breath as Batman took some time to think before answering 'Fine, but the rest of you stay here'

Raven nodded and quickly walked towards him to join him but was stopped by a crying Starfire.

'Freind Raven, Please bring him back safely to us...to me' she said softly.

'erm...Ok Starfire' she finally answered, making her smile.

'Cmon, we dont have all night' came Batman's grouchy voice from the entrance as Starfire gave her a quick hug and she flew towards the dark knight.

'Are you sure you can handle this?' he said as he took out his grappling fook from his belt.

'Yes' she answered and without another word, both of them took off into the starry night, the sound of the sea waves ringing in thier ears.

TtTtTtTtTtTtTtTtTtTtTt

Amy made no sound as Slade harshly dragged her to the room by her hair. Bruises and deep cuts decorated her body and she never even said ''ouch'' as Slade threw her inside, the rage still boiling in his veins.

Smooth Amy, real smooth.

Mont shook his head at her pitiful condition 'That was a good plan Amy, But it will cost you' he said angrily and picked her up and laid her body on the operation table.

'Foolish child, do you think that Robin can really escape when he doesnt even know a thing about this country? your struggle was for nothing' Slade was seething angrily as he practically spat the words at her.

Amy didnt answer as Mont fixed a helmet on her head and walked towards the big silver machine on the side, partially she didnt have the energy to and partially because Slade was too dumb to figure out her plan.

Youre wrong Slade a smile graced her lips Robin might not know a thing about this country but he has someone who does she thought as she heard Mont flip the switch and electricity flowed through her form.

The last thing she remembered was her pain-filled scream as her whole world flashed before her eyes and she blacked out.

TtTtTtTtTtTtTtTtTtTtTtTt

Josh: I feel so sad for Amy...Oh, and good news! CI is gonna be back soon...the doctor says that her hand is healing quicker.

Robin: How many times has she broken it before?

Josh: hmm...last time I checked it was 10 (anime sweat drop) but anyway, bad news is that the doctor says if she breaks it again, she wont be so lucky.

Robin: ouch...

laterzzzzzz
