Chapter 6 They're Coming For You
Richard was trying to come up with an explanation for Kitty's strange behavior. After school he had called up everyone he knew that would know where Kitty was, he still got nowhere. No one had seen her after she left. He never went home straight after school; he only went to Vic's house to do homework. At 6:00 he left and drove back to his own place. When he walked in he saw a familiar girl sitting at his round kitchen table.
"Why did you come here? Weren't you just running away from me? Wait a minute, how did you even get in here?" Richard asked, perplexed.
The girl still had her back to him and she smiled, "I had nowhere else to go."
"What about your dad?" Richard knew this was Kitty.
"I have no dad, and I think it's time you found out wha-" Kitty was interrupted by pounding on a door and two men barging in and grabbing her by the arms.
Kitty screamed and flailed her arms around trying to break free.
"What are you doing? You can't ram into my apartment and take away my friend!" Richard was frantically trying to think of a way to help Kitty.
One of the gruff men spoke in a raspy voice, "603 is our property, she has no 'friendship' with you"
Richard could not see the man's face but he could tell he was smirking. At those words Richard kicked one of them men in the ankle and grabbed Kitty. Kitty then stomped on the other guy's foot and both of them together pushed them out of the room. Soon they heard screams of pain and terror as the men fled out of the hallway. Kitty smirked to herself and then quickly got back into character.
"What was that about?" Richard wasn't too sure of what he knew as right anymore.
"I, well they…" she hesitated and looked up. Richard assuringly smiled at her and she continued on, "I am nothing more than an experiment gone wrong. Yes I am human but… but I have abnormal powers and they don't want me to tell anyone so they tried to take me away and I can understand if you never want to speak to me again, I should go.." she blurted it out so fast it took a few moments before Richard could comprehend what she had said.
"No, no, no. Of course I want to still talk to you. I don't care, but what those men did was wrong. They should be punished, if only I could do something." Richard looked down.
"You can. You can become a Titan again." Her words were quick and simple.
Richard was astonished with that because he had never told anyone that he was 'Robin the boy wonder' except for the other titans (of course). "How did you know-"
"Do you believe in destiny?" Kitty cut him off.
"I don't know, I guess I do. I never really thought about it before though." Richard was still confused and didn't know what to follow.
"Well, I do and I think that's why I'm here. A long time ago, there was a fire. Robin, Starfire, Raven, Beastboy, and Cyborg were all there helping out. That was the day that I ruined your life." She said this like she was there.
"How do you know-" Richard was cut off once again.
"I was there, I started the fire, I was the little girl." She looked as if a great burden had been released from her but it was still hanging in the air in front of her face.
"That, that's impossible! She was about 8. That was 2 years ago, and you're 16" Richard was wide eyed.
"Not when you're a science experiment. I aged 8 years in a period of a 2 year span. And when I saw what happened I had to find you and apologize. I had to put your life together, I don't know how but I will. It's destiny." She was determined.
Before Richard could intervene she continued, "I've figured out that I control at least one power of every element. And the only one I don't know of is light. I think that it will come of good and have to do with my destiny. I'm still trying to figure out what it is, and I hope I will find it soon. I want to save you."
"I don't need saving." Richard was surprised by the harshness of his tone.
Kitty pulled back and turned around. She had a notebook with her that she grabbed hold of and opened up. She took out a pencil and started to write. After she did that she turned to him and said, "You can't be the hero all the time." She smiled and walked over to the kitchen table, "I can tell you don't believe me about my powers."
"I do, but… but I don't." Richard wasn't sure what he believed anymore.
She mumbled the word proof and then smiled. "Encantium Leviathum Amos!" She chanted only once. At that instant the rain started falling.
"How did you-?" He started but he already knew the answer.
"The element of Water." She looked him in the eyes, "I also control Fire, Earth, Wind, Darkness, Spirit, and soon I'll find out what Light is."
Richard made a mental note that every time she said one of the elements her eyes changed to that color. Water- blue, Fire- red, Earth- green, Wind- purple, Darkness- black, Spirit- a faded lavender, and last but not least Light stayed her normal eye color (which was light brown).
"Okay, will you tell me what you can do with the other elements?" Robin was interested in knowing her powers down to the very last detail.
"Fire," she snapped her fingers and from them came a flame, "Earth," she grabbed one of Richard's dead flowers off of his counter and waved her hand over it. Instantly it was filled with life, "Wind, Helios." The wind outside started up so hard that the rain was pounding on the windows and almost breaking the door down, "darkness," She went to a corner of the room and seemed to blend into the shadows.
Suddenly Richard couldn't see her anymore, "Kitty?!" She tapped him on the should. She was behind him now.
She smiled and softy said the word spirit. "That's how I got into your room." With that she went over to the bookcase in front of the door and she simply walked through it. Richard was astonished, even though he'd been around people with super powers his whole life, he couldn't believe that one girl had so many.
"And light… I'm not exactly sure what that is. But I do know that it'll help you." She looked at the ground and then whispered, "destiny"
