Chapter 47:
Slade was happy…so happy that he almost smiled after seeing Robin's murderous expression, the lust for blood practically shining on his masked face.
But there was also something else there which ruined Slade's picture. Along with the very convincing expression Robin had given him, he had noticed something which could ruin all his plans even though the boy was doing a great job of hiding it but Slade wasn't easily fooled.
Uncertainty.
Believe it or not, even after Slade had removed all the happy memories of the titans and the only memorable moments with Batman, Robin was uncertain about this whole ordeal and his movements showed just how reluctant he really was.
And that made Slade angry.
Very angry.
Slade's one eye narrowed in anger as he examined his apprentice's movements on the huge screen in front of him…he could not afford to lose Robin…again. And to do that he must eliminate all thoughts of friendship from his mind as Mont had told him about the obvious flaw of his oh-so wonderful machine.
(Flashback)
'Where did you get these wonderful blue prints for this so-called ''marvel machine'' Mont?' he asked emotionlessly as he eyed the sprawled papers his colleague was holding out for him.
'You could say I borrowed it from my ''friend'' Slade' he replied smugly as Slade quickly examined the sheets 'but it is not all that marvelous'
'How can you say so? It has the ability to erase the neuron fibers of the brain in little time'
'True but the neuron fibers can be regenerated as well. You do know how quickly cells can multiply after the body goes into panic mode'
'And?'
'Well…when the experimentee sees a projection of his so-called memory or something resembling it, he will try hard to remember exactly what it is and possibly recover the lost neuron fibers in the process'
'And if that is not successful?'
Mont shifted his gaze 'well then, the experimentee might forget everything, even himself. He would be a former shell of what he used to be'
'So what you are saying is that the chemicals used are unstable?'
'Highly unstable…and highly dangerous'
(End flashback)
'Highly dangerous Mont' he hissed as Amy and Robin got closer to their targets 'highly dangerous indeed'
TtTtTt
'Dude you dragged me out of the sea so we could watch the horizon?' Beast Boy practically yelled at James who was having a hard time to ignore him. His red eyes were shut as he tried to shut out Beast boy's annoying voice and the pounding head ache that had just started five minutes ago…strange part was that it had started so suddenly; usually he got them from lack of sleep but while staying with Beast boy, anything could happen.
'All right Broccoli you made your point but can you please shut up now?' he said in annoyance as Beast boy continued his rant. If Batman wasn't watching he would stuff the green vegetable into a plastic bag and throw him into a garbage bin.
Speaking of Batman, he wanted to have a talk with the pointy-eared guy; he did not like being the distraction but maybe the guy's plan would actually work…
Duh, of course it worked.
'Dude, I think I heard something' Beast Boy said, his pointed ears twitching. James looked around cautiously with her red eyes searching the darkness of the night around them.
They stayed like that for about five minutes before a rope came out of nowhere and bound James and Beast boy together. 'Eeep!' Beast Boy started to struggle against the binds while James watched a figure appear out from the darkness, it was that girl he had seen in Maxy's head…except from the change of appearance that is; now she looked more darker and scarier.
'Struggling is pointless, that rope is made of reinforced titanium' she said emotionlessly, her long black ponytail swishing back and forth.
'You must be Amy' said James sweetly as she approached them 'how very nice to meet you, I'm James by the way' she growled and grabbed him from the scruff of his neck, bringing him closer.
'I don't have time for games, where are the rest of your friends?' she said venomously as James gave her a big smile 'and why are you smiling?' she was getting annoyed.
'Because you are stupid enough to fall in a trap' he answered, making her eyes widen in shock. She released him and turned around to find four angry superheroes all powered up behind her.
Oops…
'I am asking you nicely, tell us where friend Robin is and we will not hurt you' said Starfire, her green eyes blazing with fury even though her words did not show it.
'Why are you asking me? He will tell you himself' she smirked. Starfire's eyes widened and she did not see someone behind her but fortunately, Batman did.
'Starfire, duck!' He said roughly and he threw a batarang straight at the person but he didn't hear an ouch, instead he saw his very batarang flying back towards his face and he barely dodged it.
'Nice throw but I think you are losing your touch' said Robin in a bored tone as if nothing had happened. All of them stared at him in shock as Amy took out two metallic staff and started to twirl it expertly between her fingers.
'Dude, don't tell me that you're working for Slade, please don't' Beast Boy pleaded from behind James.
'Friend Robin, is that you?' Starfire asked timidly as he gave Amy a small nod 'Please come back to us, you are not working for that bad man are you?'
Batman kept looking at Amy from the corner of his eye; as much as he did not want to admit it, they would have to fight them to bring them back. He gave Raven, Sparks and Cyborg the signal to take Amy out while he and Starfire dealt with Robin, just like they had planned.
'Robin snap out of it' he said emotionlessly as he approached him. The best way to distract him from his teammate was to keep his attention directed somewhere else; namely him.
Robin just smirked in a sadistic way and took up a battle stance 'useless tactics Batman, useless tactics' suddenly, he came a him with a roundhouse kick aimed for his midsection. Batman blocked it but he didn't stop there, he tried to sweep his legs from under him but we all know Batman is too good for that.
'You've been training' Batman continued to converse with him as they fought while Starfire watched with a worried look in her blazing green eyes. Robin did not answer; he took out his metallic staff and held it in a defensive position.
Batman gave a nod to Starfire and she powered up to shoot him with her starbolt but he turned around with lightning speed and sent her crashing into a big rock. 'It's just you and me now' he hissed as Batman took up a battle stance.
If it was a fight Robin wants, a fight he would get.
TtTtTt
'Stand still!' Cyborg yelled angrily as Amy kept on dodging his sonic blasts. Sparks was desperately looking for a pattern while Raven tried to pry the rope off Beast boy and James.
'Make me!' she yelled back and charged at him with a deadly look in her eyes. Cyborg quickly switched from offensive to defensive as she approached him but no matter how hard she hit, he blocked with his metal hands and didn't feel a thing.
Finally, she gave a frustrated growl. She flipped over him and opening his back compartment, she drove one of her metal staffs straight into his main frame and crashed his hard drive.
Cyborg tried t throw her off but he soon turned from blue to cold black and flopped lifelessly to the ground. Amy smirked in victory but that didn't last long, Sparks zapped her with a huge lightning bolt which completely threw her off guard.
'You are so going to pay for that!' Sparks yelled angrily as she continued to zap her but Amy kept on dodging.
'Azrath Metrion Zinthos!' Raven yelled and big, aura incased rock flew towards Amy. Unfortunately, she saw it coming and jumped out of the way; the rock was going to fast for Raven to stop and hit Sparks instead.
'You have terrible aim' Amy smirked, angering Raven even more. She summoned small pieces of jagged rock from the ground and sent them hurtling towards her. Amy twirled her staff in front of her with speed, successfully blocking some of the rocks.
Some, but not all of them.
A few of them managed to come through and ripped small cuts in her uniform and even if Amy had forgotten her past, the wounds from the whipping and the fight with Slade had not completely healed and the rocks had reopened those wounds.
Amy cried out and dropped the metal staff. Raven took this as an advantage and sent black tendrils of aura towards her. Amy quickly recovered and flipped out of the way while Raven's tendrils kept on following her.
Amy kept on flipping and came closer towards the dark titan who was too busy concentrating on her magic to notice. Amy suddenly took a handful of sand and threw it in Raven's face, making her lose her concentration.
'That was underhanded trick' Raven growled as she desperately to get the sand out of her eyes.
'I know' said Amy and struck her with a dragon chop in the back of her neck, making her unconscious 'but it works great doesn't it?'
Amy watched her fall on the ground as a giant roar filled the air. She turned around to see a huge green beast glaring at her, looking ready to kill.
Uh Oh…
Amy had barely enough time to back flip out of the way when the beat slashes at her with his claws. She took out a few explosive disks and was about to throw them at it when James grabbed her from behind.
'Let go!' she yelled angrily and started to struggle against his strong grip.
'Make me!' he said and before anyone could blink, he inserted a needle in her neck 'Good night' he said in the same mocking tone as she fell limp in his arms.
The beast morphed back into Beast Boy 'Finally! I thought she was going to bounce around forever!'
'Yeah' James laid her down on the sandy ground and then eyed him with urgency 'Ok, ill go and help Raven and Sparks. You take Cyborg back to the cave for repairments'
'Yes sir!' said Beast boy and hobbled towards Cyborg while James made his way towards Raven and Sparks; none of them noticed Amy's body trembling and twitching on the ground.
