What up peoples! I'm glad to see all the reviews I'm getting and don't forget to tell other people about my story. Well, here it is! The twelfth chapter! Wooh:D
Chapter 12: Meeting Up; The Search Is On!
The light of three bright screens flickered in the dark, empty room Rose Wilson stood in. She looked up at the bright screens showing an angry Mar'i and worried looking Kariand'r walking through the city already leaving Gotham, a frustrated Shadow standing emotionless on top of Cook's Electronics roof, and Stevie transformed into a white unicorn.
"Ready to strike my apprentice?" Slade asked walking towards his fourteen-in-a-half-year-old daughter, his hands placed behind his back.
Rose turned to her master and gave him a low bow. "Yes, Master."
Slade looked up at the three screens as though he were judging on which person he should send his daughter to attack first. He looked carefully at Mar'i. A wicked smile spread across his face from behind his pumpkin orange and shadow black mask.
"She looks so much like her mother," He said. Rose turned and looked up at Mar'i.
"I can't believe dad kept so many secrets from me! He lied to me! His own flesh and blood! His only daughter!" She yelled throwing her hands in the air scornfully.
"Hey! What am I? Chopped glorgensveal!" Kariand'r yelled.
Slade laughed. "But is just as hot-tempered and headstrong as her father." Slade took his good eye away from the screen and looked down at his young daughter. "Robin and Starfire's twins will be your first target."
Rose nodded her head and gave her father a smile running to the weapons room. She paused at an iron made vault pressing a few buttons on the security system on the right making the vault open revealing an orange and black outfit much similar to her fathers.
She quickly changed into the outfit placing the long sleeved orange and black shirt with a silver S on the side of her chest over her head then putting on her black pants. Next came her orange gloves and black boots with steal on the front and around the heals, her silver utility belt, and orange bandana mask with two holes cut in it and white see-through cloth placed where the holes were to hide her eyes.
She strapped the bandana tight and then looked up at her father who was already standing in back of her once she turned. (Yikes. Scary.)
Slade placed a firm hand on his daughters' shoulder smiling behind his mysterious mask. "I trust you'll do good on your mission, Rose."
Rose quickly reached into her utility belt taking out a small kunai knife twirling it quickly, and then shot it towards the screen that showed Mar'i and Kariand'r on it. The kunai went straight through the screen breaking the glass and shutting down the TV screen.
"Call me, Deathstroke."

Raven gasped nervously, her eyes shooting open for the third time this day. She quickly got a hold of her communicator and called up Beast Boy.
The communicator showed a yawning Beast Boy. "What is it Rae?" He asked sleepily.
"Beast Boy, where's Shadow and Loki?" She asked apprehensively.
A look of horror showed clearly on Beast Boy's face. "Well, Shadow kind of—flew off and—"
"What!" She screamed. "Well where is he now?"
Beast Boy rubbed the back of his neck frantically. "Well . . . I really don't know."
Raven almost dropped her communicator.
"But don't worry, I know where Stevie—er—Loki's still here with me. He could help me look for him." He told her.
"All right. I'm coming to Jump City to help you look for him." She said hanging up.
Beast Boy hung up his communicator as he opened up the door to the roof of the T Tower. He was greeted by the emptiness of the roof.
"Stevie?" Beast Boy called out searching the top of the roof. Nothing. He looked up at the foggy city as the sun started to rise. "Oh no."
Beast Boy then quickly ran back inside the Tower and started searching it quickly hoping Stevie was inside.
--------------------------------------------------
Richard woke up tiredly grabbing hold of his annoying alarm clock and chucking it towards his wall. The alarm clock collided with the wall and smashed into a million pieces as he moaned jadedly raising his muscular body with his strong arms.
He tossed his blanket off his bare body walking towards the doorway to his room grabbing hold of his red robe placing it over his body tying it tight before walking out to the hallway.
He heard a door click open when he stepped into the hallway.
"I heard an alarm clock smash into a wall." She said. She then caught sight of a staggering Richard. She smiled. "I was right. You're up." She said with a smile.
Richard ignored her and opened up Mar'i's door before knocking. "Mar'i, time to wake up. We're all going out to breakfast."
Richard looked into his daughters' room puzzled when Mar'i wasn't in it. He looked around the slightly messy room and then walked out the door meeting up with Barbara.
"Hey Barb, you've seen Mar'i?" He asked.
Barbara had a toothbrush in her mouth and was scrubbing her teeth swiftly. She took it out of her mouth giving Richard a perplexed look. "No, haven't seen her. She's not in her room?"
"No." Richard told her becoming worried.
Just then, he heard a faint ring tone coming from his room. Barbara and Richard both looked at his door and walked in.
"Is that your communicator?" Barbara asked.
Richard walked towards his drawer moving a few shirts until a yellow and black Titans communicator ran loudly in his face. He picked it up and flipped it open.
"Hello?" He said.
"Robin! Is Kariand'r there? Please tell me she's there!" A worried Starfire screamed.
"Kariand'r's missing?" He asked.
"Yes! I have no idea where she is!" She cried. "She's not with you?"
"No. But Mar'i's missing too." He told her running his fingers through his spiky jet black hair. (Yes yes, I know in the future it's long, but I just love him with his spiky hair. Plus, it's my story so HA!)
"Oh, I am getting very worried Robin. Where do you think they could be?" She asked plagued.
Before Richard could answer, his communicator started to ring once again. Raven and Beast Boy's faces appeared on his communicator screen.
"Beast Boy? Raven?"
"Robin, please tell me you know where Shadow and Stevie are." Beast Boy pleaded.
"His name is Loki!" Raven yelled. "And you were the one who was supposed to take care of him but instead, you lose track of both of my sons!"
"Hey, there my sons too!" Beast Boy yelled.
"All right, calm down you two." Richard ordered.
"You two have lost your children also?" Starfire asked.
"Just one of us." Raven spat penetrating Beast Boy with an evil glare.
"Hey! Don't blame this all on me. You were the reason Shadow left." Said Beast Boy.
"All right! Enough!" Richard yelled. "Starfire, are you sure Kariand'r's not anywhere on Tamaran?"
"Yes. She's gone!" She told him.
"Do you have any idea where she might be right now?" He asked pacing through his room.
Starfire through about it and had an idea. "She and I had an argument last night and she said she would rather live on Earth with you than with me on Tamaran."
Richard raised his left eyebrow. "But she's not here—unless Mar'i and her left together."
"Then where the hell could they be now?" Starfire screamed becoming very impatient.
Richard through for a while. "Raven, do you think you can sense Mar'i and Kariand'r?"
"Sure." Raven said trying to sense the two girls. "They're in Jump City?" She said in more of a question than a sentence.
"Jump City?" Richard and Starfire both said in unison; Richard sounding confused; Starfire sounding shocked.
"What about Shadow and Stevie?" Beast Boy asked looking at Raven.
"Shadow I can't really sense. He must be blocking out my power. But Loki I can sense. He's somewhere downtown in Jump City."
"Well, there's no doubt he's looking for Shadow, so we'll use Stevie to track him down."
"I'll meet up with you guys soon." Starfire reported.
"I'm coming too. Let me know if you find Mar'i before I get their."
"Let us know if you find our kids too." Raven said.
Richard nodded flipping his communicator shut. "Tell Bruce, I'm in Jump City and will be back late." Richard said walking into his closet untying his robe letting it fall to the floor as he picked out a pair of clean blue and black boxers, stripping off his red ones. (Drools)
"I'm coming too. Mar'i's my niece. Plus, if she found out about Kariand'r, you know she's going to be mad at you so there has to be someone with her to reason with her."
Richard was silent, picking out a plain red shirt, pulling it over his head and putting on some plain blue jeans and black sneakers.
"Sorry Barbara, if anyone's going to reason with her, it has to be me." He said rushing towards the bathroom gelling his hair, slapping Axe deodorant on, and quickly brushing his teeth.
"See ya." He waved walking out of his room.
"Bye." Barbara waved putting on a fake smile.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Stevie soared through the air searching around for any sign of a pale skinned kid with violet hair wearing a black outfit covered by a black robe. That shouldn't be hard to find should it?
He then cheered happily when he saw Shadow standing on the roof of Cook's Electronics.
"Shadow!" Stevie cheered running up to his brother giving him a brotherly hug. "I found you!"
Stevie then let go of his older brother and punched him right on the head making Shadow collapse to the floor.
"Don't ever do that again! You had me freakin' scared to death!"
Shadow moaned sorely rubbing his head and rising from the ground. "What are you doing here Stevie?" He asked unruffled, not showing his anger.
"I'm here to take you back home. Do you know how upset you made dad? He'll be even more upset when he finds out I'm gone too."
"Then what the hell did you come for?" He asked looking out at the sunset.
Stevie looked up at Shadow with his serious green eyes. "Because you're my bro."
Shadow turned and looked down at his little brother. He looked back and sighed. "Listen Stevie, I'd really like to be alone right now. So, can you please just—beat it."
"What? After sneaking away without dad knowing, this is the thanks I get?"
Shadow ignored him, flying off the roof of the store taking a short walk through the city.
"Hey! Wait up!" Stevie yelled jumping off the roof, catching up with his older brother. "Don't walk away when I'm talking to you!"
--------------------------------------------------------------
Mar'i and Kariand'r groaned plopping themselves on a bus stop bench to catch their breath and relax for a while.
Kariand'r wiped her forehead. "How long have we've been walking?" She asked.
Mar'i looked up watching the sun poke its way up into the sky. "Well, it was past midnight when we left and since the sun usually sets during five to six o'clock in the morning, I'd say a good four to five hours." She told her.
Kariand'r groaned tiredly slumping in the cold, steal bench. "Where are we anyway?"
Mar'i stood up from the frigid bench looking around the city they were in. There were many buildings and sky scrapers that were probably buildings for business. Probably not as many as there were in Gotham, but still kind of a lot. The streets were kind of empty, not many cars passing by and busy people buzzing about trying to get to their jobs like how it was back in Gotham. Well, she knew one thing for sure; this wasn't Gotham.
"I don't really know." She reported catching a glimpse of her reflection in a well-cleaned glass window to a shoe store.
"Ugh. I look like a circus freak." Mar'i groaned fixing up her dad's 'Robin' outfit.
Kariand'r looked up at her sister from the uncomfortable bench. "I think you look pretty nice."
Mar'i looked at herself in the window. The black and yellow cape was no longer draped over the red shirt and the black and yellow R medal was no longer on the side of the red shirt. The yellow utility belt slid a little off her waist and the green tights looked more like green hip huggers/caprieze. (Sorry, can't spell.) Pretty much the only thing that fir her perfectly were the black boots with steal on the front and around the soles.
Suddenly, a loud grumbling sound was heard. Mar'i turned and noticed that the grumbling was coming from Kariand'r's stomach.
Kariand'r held her stomach and let out a starving groan. "I'm hungry!" She whined.
Mar'i was about to tell her to suck it up, but then heard her own stomach begging for food. She placed her right hand over it and started looked around for a restaurant.
"Come on, this place looks pretty good." She said walking to 'Denny's Diner'.
Just then, Kariand'r and Mar'i turned their heads to their left hearing a young boy yelling.
"Wait up!" He yelled trying to catch up to a spiky, purple haired boy dressed in all black. "Your poor, little brother is asking you to wait up damn it!"
Suddenly, the boy who was yelling crashed into Mar'i falling hard on his butt.
Mar'i screamed also about to fall flat on her butt when she was caught by the boy with the purple spiky hair.
The pale skinned boy looked down at Mar'i with his serious dark eyes. "You okay?" He asked in a low, profound voice.
Mar'i gasped at the sight of her handsome rescuer, the dark, empty look in his obscure eyes and his smooth pale skin was mesmerizing. She blushed a bright crimson. "Y-yeah. Thank you." She stuttered feeling her face grow extremely hot.
"Hey!" The loud boy with the spiky green hair yelled. "You couldn't have stopped me from falling too?"
"Here, let me help you." Kariand'r said offering a helping hand. The green-eyed boy smiled grabbing onto Kariand'r's hand, getting up from the ground.
The deep, well-proportioned boy let go of Mar'i and walked of without saying a word.
"Um, thanks again for saving me." Mar'i thanked watching the mysterious boy walk off.
"Next time, why don't you watch where you're going loser?" The boy spat.
Mar'i gasped standing their opened mouthed at what the tall, dark, and extremely handsome boy just said.
"Dude. That was like, mega harsh!" Said the green haired boy.
Mar'i clenched her fist in anger and glared up at the murky boy. "Oh yeah! Well next time, why don't you do us all a favor and cover that ugly-ass face with that hood you have bastard!"
"Mar'i!" Kariand'r said; surprised at what her sister just said.
The young green haired boy walked over to Mar'i, resting a comforting hand on her shoulder.
"Sorry dudet. Shadow isn't normally like this. He's just having an off day."
"Shadow?" Mar'i repeated in confusion. "Who in the hell names their kid Shadow?"
The young boy shrugged his shoulders. "Hey, it's better than Loki."
And with that said, the young boy ran off to catch up with the rude purple haired boy.
"How could you be so illiterate to that guy Mar'i? He just helped you." Kariand'r told her.
Mar'i turned to her sister. "Did you hear what he said to me when I thanked him? He was the one being illiterate, not me!"
Kariand'r sighed looking at the look of pure anger in her light green eyes. She smiled. "He was kinda cute though."
Mar'i turned to her sister raising an eyebrow.
"Oh come on, you gotta admit he was cute." She said with a smile. Mar'i didn't answer. "You thought he was cute didn't you?"
Mar'i blushed madly. "NO I DIDN'T!"
Kariand'r grinned wickedly.
"What's that look for?" She asked.
"Oh, nothing." She said teasingly. "Come on, I'm getting hungrier by the second." She said walking into the diner.
Mar'i stood there for a while and looked back at where the boy walked off. A flash image of his face crashed into her mind. She blushed again giving off a pleased smile.
Phew! That chapter took long to write. Well, gotta go eat dinner. I'll post the next chapter later. See ya later! Bye.
