Chapter 17: Think About It
-----------------------------------------------------
Deathstroke came down hard stretching out her leg making it collide with Mar'i. Mar'i quickly back flipped out of the way, clenching her fist ready to fight.
Deathstroke landed hard on the ground turning her head towards Mar'i's direction. She reached into her silver utility belt and got out a long, glimmering Bo-Staff charging after Mar'i.
She brought it up high in the air swinging it down, but a dark force field surrounded Mar'i, protecting her. Deathstroke growled in anger looking back at Shadow, who gave her a sly smirk with his hand raised, glowing a dark black.
Deathstroke returned the smirk reaching into her utility belt, taking out three kunai's, and throwing them at Shadow.
Shadow stood their without making any movement and stopped the kunai's right in their place with his telekinesis. The kunai's fell straight to the ground. Shadow's head then quickly shot up when he saw Deathstroke run towards him delivering a punch right to his face.
Shadow got hit right in the cheek and then felt getting soaked right in the stomach.
"Shadow!" Mar'i yelled watching the dark teen fall to the ground holding his stomach and groaning in pain.
Mar'i growled in anger running after Deathstroke soaking her right in the face. Deathstroke took the blow but shook off the pain surprised that Mar'i actually hit her. She then got hit again but in the other side of her face and finally got smacked right in the head with Mar'i's foot; the steel around her soles scraping the light skin on her head.
Deathstroke collapsed to the ground but quickly arose giving Mar'i a violent death glare; blood trickling down her forehead.
"You. Are. So. Dead!" She screamed clenching her fist in anger.
Mar'i gave her a determined smirk. "Bring it on beyatch."
Deathstroke's eye grew wide with anger as she ran towards Mar'i, but instead got a shower load of light blue Starbolts rain on her.
Deathstroke quickly covered herself with her arms avoiding the light blue Starbolts looking up at Kariand'r hovering above her.
"Leave my sister alone!" Kariand'r yelled with an Ai Tojon version of Stevie flying next to her. He then charged after Deathstroke changing into a Skaugere—a black, beady eyed ox with long, muscular legs—and rammed her right on the ground.
Deathstroke fell hard on the ground but quickly got up glaring at Kariand'r and Stevie, who stood their with looks of determination and anger on their faces while Mar'i ran to Shadow's side helping him up and making sure he was all right. Shadow still felt a little weak and was half conscious.
"Crap. What do I do now?" She asked herself.
"Fight. That's what you have to do my apprentice."
"But what about the target Master?" She asked.
"Mar'i is still your target. Now fight and win!"
Deathstroke looked up at the four teens; Kariand'r's hands and eyes glowing a bright blue, Stevie glaring at her with his fist tightly clenched, and Mar'i showing a look on her Tamaranean skinned face that was ready for anything.
She gritted her teeth. "No."
"What was that?" Slade asked through her ear piece sounding firm.
"It's time we did things my way Master." She stated. She then quickly got out nine kunai's and threw them at Kariand'r, Stevie, and Mar'i.
Mar'i quickly got up shooting the three kunai's that were coming her way with her green Starbolts. When they exploded right in front of her, she grinned happily.
"I did it!" She cried while Kariand'r shot her set of kunai's with her light blue Starbolts.
"Congratulations Mar'i." Kariand'r smiled.
"Um, hello! We still got a situation here!" Stevie yelled dodging his set of kunai's.
"Oh, right." Kariand'r remembered flying high in the air, raising her fist and shooting a load of light blue Starbolts at Deathstroke.
Deathstroke back flipped, cart wheeled, and dodged the falling Starbolts that came after her. Stevie glared at her and quickly changed into an Aja Ekapad—a one-footed goat—and rammed right for her going lightning fast.
Deathstroke didn't even see Stevie coming, but before she could move out of the way, Stevie jumped up in the air pointing his only leg at Deathstroke as lightning shot out of it. Deathstroke was hit, smoke surrounding her from the blow.
"Wow!" Kariand'r exclaimed looking at Stevie with amazement as he changed back to his human form.
The two teens watched as the smoke began to clear, cautiously and slowly walking towards it making sure Deathstroke was down.
"Did we win?" Kariand'r asked.
"I don't know." Stevie answer walking closer and closer towards the puff of smoke.
Suddenly, two kunai's hit right in Stevie's stomach, the other hitting Kariand'r in the leg.
The two teens screamed in pain falling to the ground feeling blood gush out of their wounds. Stevie and Kariand'r both took out the kunai's and looked up at their attacker who looked down at them with an evil grin on her face.
"You little—" But Stevie's words were cut short when Deathstroke cricked his neck making him fall to the ground unconscious.
"Stevie!" Kariand'r yelled, but Deathstroke put an end to her and cricked her neck.
"No!" Mar'i yelled as Deathstroke walked towards her reaching into her utility belt.
"Here, you look like you could use a nap." She said throwing a small pill which opened up letting out a strong green puff of smoke which Mar'i inhaled making her fall to the ground unconscious.
"M-Mar'i." Shadow groaned coming to his senses; lifting himself up from the ground with his weak arms.
Deathstroke looked down at Shadow clasping her hands behind her back. "It's a shame. You can have any girl you want with your devilish good looks, but here you are, wasting your time with this pathetic mutt."
Shadow looked up at Deathstroke, glaring at her furiously as he got to his feet.
"Don't you ever say that to Mar'i!" He growled getting up in her face, anger burning in his dark eyes.
Deathstroke smiled grabbing hold of Shadow's arms and shoving him up against the nearest brick wall, her body close to his.
"Move and I'll kill you." She warned taking out a sharp kunai and bringing it close to Shadow's neck. Shadow froze, too weak to shove Deathstroke out of his way with his arms or his powers.
"Why are you doing this? What the hell did we ever do to you?" Shadow asked, his breathing quickening.
"I have my purposes." She told him. She looked at Shadow feeling his chest heave up and down touching hers. She smiled moving in closer, pressing her lips against his ear whispering softly in it. "God you're so sexy."
Shadow glared gritting his teeth feeling Deathstroke's hands wander across his body with her kunai still clenched in her right hand, slowly passing down his shoulders, spreading across his built chest, and starting to crawl underneath his black shirt.
"Come on, you can't say you're not enjoying this." Deathstroke purred, nibbling gently on Shadow's ear. Shadow fought back a groan of disgust afraid that Deathstroke would mistake it as a groan of pleasure. Oh the things he would do to have at least a small bit of his powers in control, or instead have Mar'i take Deathstroke's place.
Shadow grinned. Yeah, that'd be a heck of a lot better. To have Mar'i all over him, her hands gliding across his body, her teeth gently grinding against his ear. Shadow's body shivered in pleasure at the wonderful thought, moaning her name out loud. "Mar'i."
Deathstroke froze completely grabbing hold of Shadow's shoulders roughly, hurling him onto the asphalt pavement.
"What the hell do you see in her!?" Deathstroke screamed looking down at Shadow. "You're wasting your time drooling over that homely jackass. She doesn't even like you."
"Shut up! You don't know anything about Mar'i!" Shadow yelled clenching his fist in anger.
"Is that a fact?" Deathstroke said walking towards Shadow with her hands behind her back. "Born November 14, 2009. Two minutes older than Kariand'r. Parents are Richard Grayson a. k. a Robin or Nightwing and Koriand'r a. k. a Starfire. Raised by her father, grandpa, and aunt in Gotham City. Discovered her powers last night. Has no idea how to control them. Need I go on?"
Shadow just stood their dumbstruck while Deathstroke smiled proudly, wrapping her right arm around his shoulders like a friendly pal.
She looked at him. "And if she's anything like her father, then she'll just push you aside just like what he did to her mother. Do you want that Shadow? To be pushed aside by the one you love?"
Shadow clenched his fist holding back the urge to smack his fist right into Deathstroke's face. His eyes glowed a dark black bending the street lights lining up across the street.
He growled in anger punching the nearest brick wall; cracks crawling up on it.
He looked at the wall in anger. "These stupid powers!" He yelled breathing heavily making the ground beneath him crack open.
Deathstroke grinned walking towards Shadow resting a friendly hand on his shoulder.
"Maybe I can help you out." She told him. Shadow looked up at her with curiosity. "Do you hate these powers enough to get rid of them for good?"
Shadow turned looking down at his bruised hand, his red knuckles from tightening his fist so much. His head moved up, looking around at the destroyed street.
He looked at Deathstroke. "Yes."
Deathstroke smiled. "My father can help you. He can get rid of your powers making you normal."
Shadow looked at her unsure. "Why should I trust you? You attacked me and Mar'i along with Kariand'r and Stevie."
Deathstroke's head drooped as she let out a pitiful sigh. "I guess I can't hide it anymore. The truth is—I'm jealous of you guys."
"Jealous?" Shadow repeated in confusion.
"I would kill to have powers like you guys. I wanted to know what it's like to be strong, powerful . . . different then everyone else." Deathstroke clenched her fist tightly, holding back her tears. "I'd do anything to be you."
Shadow looked up at Deathstroke who turned looking in his dark, murky eyes.
She smiled. "But that's all your choice. You can stick with your powers—powers that caused your parents to split up—or you can get rid of them and actually know what it's like to be normal. Think about it."
And with that said, Deathstroke jumped up in the air hoping off roof buildings until she disappeared into the night.
Well, that's the end of that chapter. Sorry if it sounded a little rushed or jumped from one thing to another. I still gotta get use to this story since I haven't been writing chapters for it in a while. Well, I hope you liked this chappie and are ready for the next one. Peace!
