Days turned to Weeks,weeks
turned into months, and the titans still hadn't heard of Mandy.
Cyborg's hope began to lessen, maybe Mandy was never coming back. The
others missed the company of Mandy, Well, Raven didn't but the others
did. Raven still felt uneasy about Mandy. The way Mandy acted, the
way she talked, her powers, Raven swore she'd met the mysterious girl
before. It had almost been 2 months since the insident with Mandy.
Cyborg mourned and wept. Until one late afternoon, an alarm for the
titans was sounded, Slade had robbed a jewlery store. The priceless
jem called the, Wearyion, said to have special dark powers, had been
stolen by slade.
"Titans, move!" Robin screamed, as
they all headed out. They went into attack formation, lining up
around the jewlery store, waiting for slade to attempt his
escape.
"When he comes out thoughs doors, just attack, don't
hold back." Robin whispered to the team, as they all
nodded.
Before they could even register the thought, Slade busted
through the glass window, lying on the floor, blood gushing out of
his side. Something had attacked him. But what?
"You try to
steal anything from this town again, and i'll slit your throat!"
A fimiliar voice jumped through the broken window. Mandy!
"Mandy?!"
All the titans, except raven, shouted in suprise and disbelif. Mandy
looked at the team and smiled. She looked different. Her hair,
longer, and her eyes, even more beautiful. Her cloths! she wore a
jean mini skirt, and a light blue tank top, still showing her belly
ring. She still wore the same boots, and gloves though,
unfortunatly.
Slade stood up, holding his side. The titans lunged,
but robin motioned them to stay back.
"Very impressive. very
impressive. You sure have grown little girl." Slades evil voice
chuckled.
"Shut up." Mandy angrily said.
"You've
become quite a beautiful young lady. And a very skilled fighter. You
mother should be proud. Oh wait-.. Mommy isn't alive, is she?"
Slade chuckled. Without warning, Mandy blasted slade with all she
got, causing slade to drop the jewl.
"Mention my mothers
death once more- I dare you." Mandy evily smirked.
The titans
watched this go on, Terror in some eyes, impression in others. It was
a side of Mandy they hadn't seen before.
"You know, Madness,
Your father did give me strick orders to hand over that jewle to
him." Slade eyed Mandy.
"Madness..?" Cyborg
whisperd to himself.
"Never call me that again. EVER!"
Mandy ended with a round-house kick to the face. Slade fell to his
knees.
"I may not have finished my orders, little girl. But
it was nice to see you after all these years. Ill give your father
regards!" Slade laughed as he dissapeared in a cloud of smoke.
Mandy shook, and fell to her knees. Cyborg slowly approached her,
and placed his hand on her sholder. She looked up at him.
"Welcome
back, Mandy." He said with a warm smile.
They walked back to
the tower, and let Mandy sit on the couch. Starfire handed her a
glass of water.
"Drink this." Star smiled.
"Are
you okay, mandy?" BB asked.
Mandy took a deep breath, and
nodded. "Im fine, thanks guys."
Raven walked, and
kneeled down infront of Mandy. "Mandy, i need to talk to you."
Raven didn't look mad, nor concered. Just determinded.
"Alright.."
Mandy looked uneasy.
"Slade. He knew who you were. How?"
Raven asked. The others looked at Mandy, wondering the same
things.
"Slade.. Slade and my father use to work together."
Mandy looked down. "After my mom died, things changed. My dad
needed co-workers. And since my dad was never around, Slade watched
me grow up. I was never really close with him. But I guess he knew me
back then. He underestimated me." Mandy looked out the
window.
"Wow.." Cyborg sighed.
"Did you work for
slade?" Raven looked directly into Mandys eyes.
"No. No,
i did not." Mandy answered forcefully.
Raven nodded, and
stood up, walking towards her room.
Robin nudged BB and star.
"We'll let you guys have a few mintues to talk." Robin
smiled, exiting with Star and BB.
Mandy and Cyborg watched the
others exit, and Mandy continued to look at Cyborg.
"Cyborg,
I-" Mandy began, until she was cut off by Cyborgs embrace.
Mandys heart beat became irregular, she felt her cheeks turn red, and
her mind was racing.
"Cyborg..?" Mandy questioned.
"Im
so glad you came back." Cyborg forced himself to say.
Mandy
didn't know what to say. She looked to the floor, her eyes filled
with sorrow. She then returned the embrace.
"Im glad im back
too.. im really really glad." She sniffled.
"Ehem..
guys?" Raven inturupted.
They immediatly broke away "Hu?!"
They gasped.
"We have company.." Raven narrowed her eyes
at Mandy. Mandys eyes widened. "I have to take a shower!"
She jumped up.
"But Mandy, we have guests." Raven
smirked.
"Exactly! look at me, im fithy! ill be back!"
Mandy ran to the bathroom.
Cyborg looked confused. "Whose
here?" Cy asked.
"I dont know who they are." Raven
turned an walked to answer the door.
Robin, BB, and Star returned
into the main room.
"Who are the guests?" Star
asked.
"Yeah!" BB excitedly
continued.
"Chill
guys, wait and see." Robin continued.
Raven walked back intot
he room, with 3 girls following her. One, was a black haired girl,
with red bangs in the front; She looked the oldst, and wore a skirt
with leggings, and a see through black shirt with a purple tank top.
One of the others, was smaller, and wore a tee shirt, that matched
the othe ones. The shirts read "I love the teen titans!".
They both had blonde hair, but the youngest one had her hair in
pigtales.
"Hello?" Robin stood up.
"Hi there!"
The youngest said.
"I like your shirts!" BB
smiled
"Thanks!" The two young ones answerd.
"Let
me introduce ourselves. My name is Rella. This here is Copycat,"
She said pointing to the second oldest. "and this little angel,
is Pheonix" She pointed to the youngest, whom waved. The three
stood, shortest to tallest. The titans all crowded around. Robin
stood close to Rella, and looked up and down her, noticing little
cuts and bruises.
"So, uh.. why're you here?" BB asked,
not trying to sound rude.
"Well, acctually.. " Pheonix
giggled.
"We're looking for someone." Copycat looked
away.
"Who?" Starfire and robin asked.
Rella reached
into her pocket and took out a paper. She unfolded it, and held it
up, And what the titans saw, they wont soon forget. Mandy!
"Her
name is Mandy. She is a big fan of you guys. Shes been around here,
from what i've heard." Rella looked concerned.
The titans
looked shocked. Was Mandy in trouble? Did she do something wrong?
Whats going on?
"What do you want with Mandy?" Cyborg
angrily said.
"So she is here!" Pheonix yelled
cheerfully.
"Answer the question. What do you want with her?"
Cyborg stepped forward.
"Take it easy. we dont want any
trouble. We're in charge of keeping her sane. we handle her"
Rella explained.
"Shut up! shes not a dog! shes an amazing
girl!" Cyborge screamed.
"Are you kidding?!"
CopyCat yelled.
"Shes crazy!" Pheonix agreed.
"What?"
The titans questioned.
"Mandy has been a fellen for many
years. Shes done a lot of-" Rella was cut off
"Thats enough."
Mandy walked out.
"Mandy, what are you doing here?"
Rella narrowd her eyes.
"Me? psh, what are you doing here?"
Mandy crossed her arms.
"Looking for you." Rella lifted
her eyebrows.
"Get out of here." Mandy put her hands on
her hips.
"You need to get out of here, and come with us."
Copycat insisted.
"Yeah right. Never." Mandy shook her
head.
"Your wanted in japan, Europe, and 38 states. you need
to get out of here." Rella stepped forward.
The titans eyes
widend "What?!" They all screamed.
Mandys eyes went
frightned. Looking at each titan, she landed at cyborg.
"Mandy..
why are you... wanted?" Cyborg sorrowly asked.
"Im not."
Mandy lied.
"Liar." Raven admited. The titans all looked
at Raven, She stepped forward.
"Your nothing but a fake. You
lied, and your no good. Being wanted around the world isn't something
you hide from people." Raven angrily said.
"I thought
you guys were my friends." Mandys eyes narrowed.
"Wrong.
We're not." Raven yelled.
"I am!" Cyborg scaredly
yelped.
"Liar, shut up! all of you are liars! i dont need
this. i dont need any of this!" Mandy screamed and ran to the
window. She kicked the window and it shattered. She smirked, looking
at the titans, and jumped.
"Mandy!" Cyborg screamed,
scared that Mandy had fallen to death. Before they knew it, she was
floating on top of morph. Morph looked depresed, as Mandy ordered him
to fly off. Mandy had tears in her eyes.
"You betray me..
just like father warned." Mandy smacked morph and he girgled and
made a noise.
"Mandy.." Cyborg screamed, watching her
dissapear into the sunset.
"Good riddens." Raven
sighed.
"Good riddens?!" Cyborg screamed punching a
wall, tears flowwing.
"She understood me! She knew me, for
me!" she-" Vyborg began.
"Is a murderer."
Rella finished.
The titans looked at her in shock.
"What?!"
They all gasped.
"For over 50 years, shes been a killer. a
robber. nothing but danger. you all dont know the real Mandy."
Rella shook her head.
"Liar! dirty liar!" Cyborg pushed
her
"Hey. ive known mandy for years. We're her true friends.
you dont even know her real name." Copycat defended.
Cyborg
fell to his knees.
"Why.. why.. why.." He sobbed.
looking up at The three girls, shaking their heads, an sorrowful
bliss.
