Chapter Four

Mad Mod laughed as Mumbo Jumbo landed on the couch next to a little girl with blond hair. She had hazel eyes and her hair was long enough to sit on. Her clothes were worn and ragged and her tan skin dirty. She couldn't be older than five tops.

"What's wrong Puppet?" Mad Mod asked her, trailing a hand through her hair. "Don't like it here?"
"Hey."RedX growled from the corner closest to a metal door with a slit, showing a teen struggling against his bonds. 'Good job kid,' he thought while glaring at Mad Mod and Mumbo, `keep on fighting. `

"Hey what?" Mumbo asked from his seat, taking the rest of the couch so Red X couldn't sit on it. "We're not doing anything wrong."

"I don't want Sara to be touched by the likes of you." Red growled. "If you were honorable that would be different...maybe...but you're not, so don't touch her."

"Alex...what are we going to do to her. You agreed to the deal and so did we."

"He`s right Love."Maddy cut in. "As long as you keep to your part of the deal we won't hurt her. But if you were to betray us Lad, then we have a problem. Understand?"

"I understand that you two are low good for nothing freaks." Red replied rather cheekily. "I'm getting some coffee and bringing the kid" he nodded to the door were Robin was still struggling behind, "something edible. Want anything Sara?"

The girl smiled at her elder brother. "Juice please?"

"Even if i have to juice the fruit myself. What flavor?"

"Um...it was like...sparkling apple juice...NO WAIT...it was white grape. That's yummy! Alex, do you remember back when mommy would always give us some and you told me it was Champaign and I cried for two whole minuets?"

"Yeah I remember. I'll get you some." he then glared at the others "if you hurt her while I'm gone I wi-."

"Relax Mate we won't. We're actually HELPING you. Why can't you see it?" Mad Mod asked. "You were starving trying to keep your sister alive and you had to steal to do that. Now you have a nice house," he indicated the room "and plenty of money to buy things with."

"And i only had to break all my mortal codes to do it you sick freaks. You said you'd kill her if i didn`t help you capture the leader of the titans. Why is it that everyone's after him anyway? Is it because Slade made the boy special in his life and you guys want to try to take it from him?"

"No." Mumbo said dryly, "we want-"

He was cut off by the door breaking down and Sara screaming in fright as a rather angry Robin forced his way out of the room. Red X smirked behind his mask. "Oops i guess I forgot to lock everything."

Robin only gave him a thankful look as he tried to escape out the window only to find his legs didn't work properly anymore. "Hey Kid you can't leave." Red caught the falling boy. "it's too dangerous and we're "he gestured to Mumbo, Mad Mod and himself "are in charge."

Robin swung at Reds head and the kelpto dropped him. "Sorry birdie."

"LET ME OUT OF HERE! "Robin shouted, only to be locked up this time. Red looked at him for a minute. "What?"

"I'm going to get you a taco and some sparkling white grape juice to." he said. "As a small way of showing my thanks for you being such a cute little bird, all ruffled up."

"Drop dead Red."

"That wouldn't be fun"

"It would for me."

"You did NOT just tell my brother to die did you?" Sara asked in disbelief, her eyes transfixed at Robin. "He said you could stop him from doing just that. You're supposed to be the hero who saves Alex. Not tell him to die."

Robin blinked a few times as the door was closed, Mad Mod and Mumbo still unconscious. "I didn't mean it like that. It's just like saying shut up in a polite way to friends or people who are close you it."

"Oh."

"Sara if you ever tell me to drop dead i just might laugh so hard that I do."

"I wont."

Red X left then to get the promised drinks and food and Sara passed Robin a small spade. "Alex said to give this to you and have you wait further instructions."

"Thanks." Robin said, caching the gardening tool she had to throw. "Is Alex going to explain what's going on?"

"Maybe." Sara said before skipping back to the TV. "Want to watch a movie?"

Robin spent the next five minutes listening to Mumbo and Mad Mod yelling in another room and a few songs the girl sung along with. When a certain song came on Robin was reminded of Bruce the Titans and Slade.

"We're a family and you're one of us now, we're a family and you're one of us now .Although you look like you we think you like us too cause we're a family and you're one of us now..."
