CI: hello again! This chapter is the continued part of the last chapter…hope you like it! Sorry for the late update, this was partially due to internet problems and partially due to the agonizing muscular spasms in my back….don't ask!

Chapter 48:

'Starfire, wake up!'

Her head was spinning wildly and she struggled to open her eyes but she felt so tired, all she wanted to do was lay there and forget everything.

'All right, you're asking for it' said the voice and before she knew it, she was being shaken like a snake's rattle.

'Wake up!!! Batman needs help with Robin, he is out of control!' said the voice in a terrified tone.

Oh yeah, that got her up.

She opened her emerald eyes in alarm to see Jame's red ones staring back at her in concern. She tilted her head to the left to see the two former partners fighting ferociously with each other. She could see Robin, her Robin; fight his mentor like he would fight Slade while Batman kept on blocking and dodging his moves.

Anger coursed through her veins; this was all Slade's fault! Her eyes and hands grew intense green just as the thought of the man. How she wished that monster was dead, he had caused everyone so much pain…had caused her so much pain…

'Uhh Starfire?' said James curiously as he watched the alien power up once more 'are you ok?'

'I am perfectly well Friend James' she hissed 'It is Slade who will not be well when I am through with him' she quickly got to her feet and looked at James with a confident smile 'Let us help the man of Bats friend James, I believe he is in an uncomfortable position' and flew towards the fighting duo.

James stared at the flying Tamaranian with wide, red eyes 'well…that was random'

TtTt

'Amy get up!' a strong voice commanded in her head. Amy slowly opened her eyes but quickly closed them due to the pounding head ache in her head. Everything was spinning in a whirl of colors.

'Amy get up and fight NOW!' the voice commanded. Amy groaned and slowly got to her feet, shaking her head to get rid of the dizziness. Her body felt unbelievingly tired but she forced herself to move.

'My head…' her voice trailed off and she looked towards where Robin and Batman were fighting 'what the heck is happening here?'

Then it all came back to her in a flash; She and Robin had been sent on a mission to fight and possibly kill these people and she had been fighting four of them while Robin took care of the ever-so-powerful Batman…

Speaking of four, where were they anyway? All she remembered was James injecting something in her and everything going black. Her black eyes searched the area until she found him along with an angry Tamaranian approaching the fighting duo.

'Oh no you don't' she growled and took out a smoke bomb. With expert aim, she threw it in front of the two, just as they were about to stop the fight.

'What?' said James in disbelief and both of them turned towards her in half-surprise and half-anger.

'You will have to deal with me first' she said, her mouth curving into a malicious smile.

Starfire was already angry and Amy just gave her another reason to lose control. With an angry battle cry she shot towards the girl at hyper speed, eyes and hands glowing even brighter.

Amy smirked and flipped out of the way at the last minute but Starfire grabbed her ankle and threw her on the ground with violent force, knocking the wind out of her.

'Surrender!' she yelled but Amy quickly got to her feet with the same smirk. She might look all confident outside but inside she was trembling like anything at the Tamaranian's anger…she could rip her to pieces!

Starfire growled and shot numerous starbolts in her direction. Amy tried dodging them but one hit her directly in the chest and sent her flying into a big rock.

'Ouch' she said in annoyance and took out her knumchucks 'lets see how tough you are now' she taunted. Starfire flew towards her but she flipped over her and held her in a neck lock with her knumchucks.

And even if Tamaranians have super strength, I don't think they can breathe with a metal chain choking them.

'Release me at once you glorback!' Starfire yelled angrily as Amy continued to choke her. Her vision was getting cloudy and her movements were getting weaker.

Amy smirked but did not answer; she didn't even notice James behind her until he spoke in a way which made her release the Tamaranian.

'I'm sure your parents would not approve of you choking another girl' he said softly. She released the Tamaranian and whirled around angrily to face him.

'Don't you dare talk about my parents' she hissed but James's smirk only got bigger.

'Is the little girl going to cry?' he mocked, successful in getting her even more angry 'why don't you run to mommy?'

'That's it!' she yelled and tried to punch him but he simply dodged, his red eyes glowing mischievously.

'Is that the best you can do?' he asked calmly in a voice that matched Monte's own 'Oh c'mon Amy, you can't expect your opponent to give up that easily'

Suddenly, she felt a pounding headache which reduced her to her knees. Her vision was going blurry and she was hearing multiple voices at one time.

'Daddy I'm scared'

'Amy, the sea won't eat you'

'But I'll drown!'

'No you won't, just take my hand and we will go together'

'Are you sure I won't drown?'

'I promise Amy, I will not let anything harm you'

Tears burned her eyes and she slammed her fist into the ground. Her mind was all a muddle, part of her was telling her to fight but the other part was telling her to stop.

'What is wrong with her friend James?' came Starfire's voice from somewhere above her.

'I just triggered some old memories…don't worry Starfire' his confident voice came in reply and both of them towered over her in victory 'that might keep her down'

Amy tightly shut her black eyes. Images and voices were playing at hyper speed in front of her and the pain in her head was building until it was too much to bear.

The last thing she felt was falling on the ground in a heap before she went completely unconscious.

TtTtTt

Batman was not surprised that Robin had improved so much; he always knew that he had the potential but he had never imagined Robin fighting him with such ferocity. Sure they got on bad terms but this was way over board.

'Robin, listen to me' he said in his controlled voice as he blocked another punch from his former partner 'Slade has tricked you, you need to snap out of it'

'And you expect me to believe that?' Robin replied and with an angry battle cry, kicked Batman in the ribs which the poor hero was unable to block 'Puhlease'

Batman quickly recovered. Robin was going to give him another kick but Batman caught his ankle mere inches away from his face and threw him away like someone would swat a fly.

'I expect you to believe everything I say' he said in his commanding tone which made the teenager freeze 'I don't care what you think of me but I am not about to let my ward be a servant of that maniac'

'I am his apprentice!' Robin said angrily 'and you have no say in my life anymore Batman!' he came at him with another punch but Batman dodged and twisted his arm before he could further move.

'Let go!' the boy yelled angrily but whenever he came close to wrenching Batman's hand off, Batman would twist it even further 'Damn you!'

'You do know that I can break your arm very easily don't you?' The Batman said smoothly but despite this fact, Robin kept on squirming until he finally sighed 'You were always stubborn'

Growling, Robin wrenched his arm further back, closing the distance between the two of them and drove his elbow into Batman's chest. Batman was completely caught off guard with that move and released him. Robin then flipped backwards to put distance between him and the dark knight and whipped out his staff in the process.

'If you're thinking that ill come crawling back to you on all fours and beg for your forgiveness then you've got another thing coming!' he yelled angrily and charged at his mentor with staff in hand. Batman's face showed the slightest tinge of guilt at his words but that soon disappeared as he started to dodge his ward's attacks.

'I'm not thinking that' he replied simply as he blocked Robin's staff with his arm. He had to admit that he was having trouble blocking the metal staff as some of Robin's moves were alien to him. Finally, one caught him in the ribs and threw him roughly to the side but he quickly recovered and blocked Robin's assault easily.

'Do you expect to beat the very person who trained you?' he said in a commanding tone. Out of the corner of his eye, he could see James stealthily sneaking up behind Robin; it was just a matter of time.

Growling, Robin aimed a roundhouse kick at his head but he grabbed his ankle (once again) and twisted it in an unnatural way and breaking it but Robin didn't even wince, with lightning speed he kicked him in the chest, knocking the air out of him. 'You were saying?' he smirked in a way which annoyed Batman even more.

'Hya!' Suddenly, Robin came at him with a flurry of attacks which were pretty hard to block, mind you. Of course, Batman reacted just as he would with any criminal, he fought back with all he had and soon had Robin gasping for air pinned against a rock with Batman's arm against his neck, making it harder to breathe.

'Don't make me hurt you' Batman said in a threatening tone as Robin struggled pointlessly against his grip. James and Starfire just stood behind him with wide eyes 'What are you waiting for? An invitation?' Batman commented sarcastically which snapped them out of their trance. James took out a syringe and made his way to the struggling boy wonder as quietly as he could. Batman noticed that he had a guilty look in his eye.

'I'm sorry kid' He said truthfully as Robin eyed him with malice. It was his fault that Robin was in this mess in the first place…If only he had listened to Benson…

Robin growled at James and continued to struggle but James had already injected the syringe in his neck. His movements started to slow down and he saw blackness clouding his eyes before he finally slumped unconscious in Batman's grip. Batman relaxed his hold on the boy and laid him down gently on the ground.

'All right, now that this is over, lets get him to the cave and see what is wrong' said Batman tonelessly but before anyone could even make a move, a voice surprised them entirely, even Batman.

'Where do you think you're going?' his cool calculated voice could make even the man of steel shiver. Batman whipped around angrily to find him standing just a few feet away. He could almost feel the man smirking.

Which made him mad.

'Don't worry, I'm not going to fight you' he said and snapped his fingers, summoning an army of slade-bots 'I wouldn't want to waste my time'

And with those simple words, The robots charged at the three bewildered heroes, unaware of a pair of angry black eyes watching them from a distance.
