-----------------------------
Chapter 7:That Was My Dad!
Robin hit the ground hard along with the rest of the Titans. He staggered; his arms shaking arms holding half his body up while his legs lay weak on the ground. He groaned and looked back at Slade who was standing casually with his hands hiding behind his back.
He smirked behind his mask and walked towards the weak Titans. "Five years Robin and you and your team still can't put up a good fight."
"We've beaten your sorry ass before Slade." Robin growled.
"And we can definitely do it again." Beast Boy said as him and the rest of the Titans got up.
"Is that a fact?" Slade asked almost teasingly. He then charged after the Titans jumping up in the air. He quickly took out his Bo-Staff when he came down and smacked the Titans with it.
Robin quickly jumped up in the air and got out his Bo-Staff charging after Slade.
Slade blocked Robin's attack with his Bo-Staff and punched him in the stomach with his vigorous fist. Robin gasped, the blow taking his breath away and landed on his knees holding his stomach trying to fill his lungs with air.
Slade looked down upon his and laughed evilly.
He then heard an angry growl from the Tamaranean member and turned only to get a strong glowing green fist in his face. He then got hit by a few dark rays and a light-blue sonic blast by Raven and Cyborg.
"Robin! You okay?" Beast Boy asked running to Robin's side.
"I'm fine." Robin said looking up at the Titans, his breathing back to normal. "Beast Boy, you and Cyborg go handle the generators. We'll handle Slade."
"Got it!" Beast Boy said holding his left hand to his forehead in a solute and changed into a pterodactyl flying towards Cyborg.
Robin got up and picked up his Bo-Staff charging after Slade.
Starfire, Raven, and Cyborg gave Slade one last attack until Beast Boy came and got a hold of Cyborg flying him towards the generators controls.
Slade saw this and yelled out, "No!"
He got up to his feet running after Beast Boy and Cyborg when Robin jumped in front of him and stroke with an upper cut.
Slade fell to the ground and saw Robin in the air about to punch him once again.
Slade back flipped out of the way and charged after Robin. Robin defended himself with his Bo-Staff and tried hitting Slade in the head with it, but he ducked and kicked him in the knees.
Robin fell but quickly spun on his stomach holding himself up with his hands. He pushed his body and stuck out his legs which kicked Slade in the stomach. Robin then ran towards him and gave him two punches in the face.
Starfire and Raven then flew up behind Robin and shot Slade with a shower of Starbolts and dark rays while Beast Boy and Cyborg tried to figure out how to stop the generators.
"Okay, please tell me you know how to work this thing." Beast Boy said dropping Cyborg off in front of the controls and transforming back into his normal form.
"I wish I could." Cyborg said looking at the controls.
"Dude! That's so not what I wanted to hear!" Beast Boy panicked.
Slade was now on the ground when Robin ordered Starfire and Raven to stop shooting. He walked carefully towards Slade making sure he was finally knocked out cold. He was proven wrong when Slade got up and smacked Robin right in the chin with a powerful upper cut.
He jumped up in the air and kicked Starfire and Raven to the ground.
They both groaned but managed to warn Beast Boy and Cyborg.
"Beast Boy! Cyborg!" Starfire yelled.
"Look what's coming your way!" Raven screamed.
Beast Boy turned and quickly changed into a gorilla landing in front of Slade. He roared in a loud, frightening growl charging after Slade and hitting him with his large green gorilla fist.
Slade was hit, but got back on his feet kicking Beast Boy in the stomach and then giving him three powerful punches.
Beast Boy moaned in pain and fell to the ground defeated.
"All most done." Cyborg said to himself quickly pushing buttons trying to stop the generators.
Slade yelled charging after Cyborg but was stopped when Robin got up in front of him and locked him in a headlock.
Slade struggled to break free, but finally did when he got a hold of Robin's arms and threw him away.
Robin hit the ground and looked up at Slade who got out a silver coated gun pointing it at Cyborg.
"NOOOOOOO!" He screamed.
Slade hit the trigger which shot out a blood red laser at Cyborg.
Cyborg screamed an agonizing cry when the ray collided with him. His circuits began to overload and static flowed through his whole mechanical body.
Robin then charged after Slade and tackled him to the ground. The laser gun skidded through the ground as Cyborg collapsed.
Just then, the controls to the generator started to go haywire.
"This place is going to blow!" Beast Boy yelled.
Robin gasped and saw Cyborg lying on the ground right in front of the controls. He let go of Slade and quickly ran towards Cyborg jumping on top of him when the controls finally burst.
A loud explosion was heard throughout Jump City and Slade's lair at Pier 41 exploded in a large explosion.
The whole lair was gone, nothing but gravel and brick grumbled into tiny pieces on the ground.
Raven opened her eyes as her force field died down. She waved her hand and got rid of Starfire and Beast Boy's force fields.
"Whoa." Beast Boy said looking at the mess.
"Robin!" Starfire yelled flying around the mess of the gravel and brick trying to find him.
A couple of bricks moved and fell as Robin arose from the pile.
"Robin!" Starfire said happily flying towards him. Robin smiled, his whole body covered in scratches and bruises and part of his costume a little torn up.
He looked down at Cyborg, who was still unconscious from the ray gun.
"Cyborg. Cyborg wake up." Robin said moving his mechanical shoulders. He didn't move. "Cyborg? Come on Cyborg wake up." Nothing.
Raven and Beast Boy ran towards Starfire and Robin and looked down at Cyborg.
Beast Boy laughed. "Come on dude, stop fooling around. Get your lazy ass up."
Nothing.
"Cyborg?" Starfire asked, her voice becoming scared.
"Come on Cyborg. This isn't funny! Wake up! Come on! Wake up!" Robin ordered, shaking harder. Cyborg didn't wake up. He didn't even budge.
"No!" Raven cried.
"Cyborg! Come on! You gotta wake up! Come on! Wake up damn it! Now! Cyborg!" Robin yelled, tears now seeping through his eye mask. Cyborg didn't move. He was . . . gone.
Robin then began to cry, burying his face in Cyborg's cold mechanical chest letting his tears out. A few tears escaped Beast Boy's green eyes while Raven just let all her tears out moving into Beast Boy's arms and crying into his shoulder.
Starfire flew towards Robin slowly and rested a hand on his shoulder.
"I'm so sorry Robin." She said holding Robin in a tight hug also crying her eyes out.
"No!" Mar'i screamed shooting up from her bed. Her breath accelerated and her heart was going a mile a minute. She quickly looked around; she was in her room. She got out of bed and looked at herself in the mirror. She was completely drenched with sweat.
She took a deep breath trying to calm herself down.
"All right Mar'i. It was just a dream. A real creepy dream. Who were those people anyway?" She asked her reflection as if she were expecting an answer.
Just then, she heard her window move up. She turned and saw a dark figure at her window.
She gasped and moved up against the wall when the dark figure climbed into her window and landed on the ground.
"Man, it's dark in here." Kariand'r said raising her hand, a bright blue glowing shinning the whole room. She turned and saw Mar'i standing in the room.
The girl screamed and so did Mar'i as they both fell to the ground in fright.
"W-who are you?" Mar'i asked the girl with the glowing blue fist.
"I could ask you the same que—" Kariand'r paused when she saw Mar'i. She stared dumbfounded at her, Mar'i doing the same.
Kariand'r examined Mar'i carefully. She had ear-length red-orange hair like her mother's but with black streaks. She also had light green eyes like her mothers and orange skin too. Her and Kariand'r were also the same height. To Kariand'r, Mar'i looked like the spitting image of her mother.
Mar'i examined Kariand'r carefully. She had long jet black hair, the same color as her fathers' but with red-orange streaks. She also had light-blue eyes like her fathers and the same colored skin also. She looked more related to her father than Mar'i did.
"Whoa." Was all Kariand'r could say.
"Who are you?" Mar'i asked once again.
"I'm Kariand'r, princess of the planet Tamaran." She answered. Mar'i looked at her as if she were crazy. "Who are you?"
"Mar'i Grayson, daughter of Richard Grayson, vice president of Wayne Enterprises." She told her.
"Is he like a king?" She asked.
"You're not from around here are you?" Mar'i asked.
Kariand'r shook her head. "Do you live here?"
"Yeah." She said becoming unsure of this girl.
"Does, Robin or Nightwing live here?" She asked.
"Who?" She asked.
"I'll take that as a no. Darn it. The guy I asked told me that he lives here now." She said walking through Mar'i's room. She sighed. "Oh well, guess he meant some other mansion in Gotham City."
"Well good luck finding one." Mar'i told her.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Kariand'r asked.
"Wayne's Manor is the only mansion in Gotham City." She told him.
"Wayne's Manor. Then I am in the right place. Tell me, uh—Mar'i, did a superhero named Robin or Nightwing use to live here?" She asked.
"No, my grandpa's lived here ever since. Who did you say you were looking for again?" She asked.
"Nightwing. Use to go by the name of Robin." She explained.
"You mean, Teen Titans Nightwing use to go by Robin?" She asked. Kariand'r nodded her head. "Nope, sorry. The only people that live here are me, my dad, my aunt Barbara, and my grandpa Bruce."
Kariand'r gave a loud groan. "Great. I'm never going to find him."
"Why do you want to find Nightwing so badly?" Mar'i asked.
"He's my father." Kariand'r told her.
"Really? I didn't know Nightwing had a daughter." Mar'i said a little baffled.
Just then, Mar'i heard footsteps coming towards her room.
She gasped. "Quick! Hide!" She yelled pushing Kariand'r under her bed.
"Mar'i are you awake?" Her father asked coming into her room.
"Uh, hi dad." Mar'i said with a smile.
Kariand'r gasped. "That's him!" She gasped again and covered her mouth.
"What are you doing up so early?" He asked.
"Oh, just—um, getting up to use the bathroom." She said walking towards the bathroom door in her room.
Richard gave her a confused look but then just shrugged his shoulders. "All right. Just wanted to check up on you. Goodnight."
"'Night." Mar'i smiled when her father walked out of the door. "Phew."
"That was him!" Kariand'r cried. Mar'i looked down at Kariand'r and saw her crawl out from under her bed. "That was Nightwing! I know that face anywhere!"
Mar'i gave Kariand'r a confused look and then looked back at her door where her dad left. "Who, the guy that just left?"
"Yeah! I'd know that face anywhere!" Kariand'r exclaimed happily. "That was my dad!"
Ooh! What'll happen next! No one knows. Well, except for me 'cause I'm writing this story. Well, stay tuned for the next chapter. Peace out y'all!
