Sorry I haven't updated in like…. forever! I've been at basketball practice and I've barely had time to watch TV. Again, unbiblical… FORTUNATLY I HAVE gotten to watch the newer episodes(Had to record them but hey! Whatever works right?)
"Lets go to the top floor. It's raining outside so the roof probably won't work very well, but the observation deck is great too." He suggested. "You guys ok if we go talk?" Beast boy and Cyborg looked over at the gamestation. "I bet I can beat you at Monkey-Ninja X5!" said Beast Boy. "Yeah, well you're about to get your little green butt kicked!" They both darted for the couch. "Ok, I'm guessing they'll be ok…" Raven looked over at Starfire. "Let's go order pizza." She said starting towards the phone. Starfire looked overjoyed. "Yes please! May we get mustard as a topping for our food…?" she darted away after the goth, who looked disgusted by the idea of it. "Uhh…. sure?" Robin laughed and started up the stairs, closely followed by Batgirl.
The rain was pounding hard and lightning flashed in the sky. Batgirl stopped and looked at the window at the top of the stairs. "I love storms…"she sighed. Robin cocked his head and looked at her funny. "What?" she asked jokingly, a hint of laughter in her voice. "Well, it's not everyday you hear someone say they love storms… I mean, sometimes it gets darker than this here…" She looked at him with an eyebrow raised. "Ok, still not a problem for me OR you. We both practically lived in the cave remember?"
"Oh, yea…" The second they reached reached the deck, the lights flickered and went out. "Crud! I almost had him!" They heard beast boy shout.
"Oh well. It won't keep us from talking." Batgirl said. She walked over to the wall across from the huge window that covered the other wall and sat down, Robin followed.
"So what's up?" he asked as he sat down next to her. The lightning flashed and he saw her face. She looked really pale. He was surprised at himself for not realizing earlier.
"Remember when we were on the roof earlier and I was telling you about Slade?" she said interrupting his thought. "Well, this is what I was trying to tell you. Slade isn't working for himself anymore. Lately he's been offering his…talents to people. The joker swore that he would get revenge last time we saw him…remember that time he shot you? Well after you left Me and Bruce headed out and Kicked the crap out of him, and he blamed it on you.Why? I don't know, I'm not a crazed maniac…but anyway… So when he found out that Slade was closer to you, he decided to get him to work as his "partner". So Slade took the job and together they made that gun he had today." She explained.
"So you just came to capture Slade?" He asked. I thought she had just come to see me… crap! Slade has to ruin everything…
"No! I came to see you!" She said, noting the fact that he was disappointed in her not coming to see him. She really and truly had come to see just him.
" I swear! I looked through your window this morning until you noticed I was there. Then you started off downstairs and I followed you. I disabled the security system. I had told Raven I was coming and she offered to turn it off but I was afraid Slade might try to attack the tower at night. I didn't want you to get hurt so…" she stopped and blushed.
"Ok... Cool." he said, pleased to hear he was still the only reason she had come. "So what exactly does that gun do, other than put a hole in your arm…"
She laughed at this and looked down at her arm. Thunder rumbled low in the background. "It's supposed to immobilize you and make your body really weak. If you don't treat it quick, it will poison your skin so that if anybody touches you without protection, it will burn their skin, like and acid. That's why it's so dangerous. If anyone got hurt, especially you, it would be really hard to help unless we injected you with the antidote almost immediately." She noticed the confused look on his face. "It would affect us faster because we don't have powers."
"Well that sucks" he said sarcastically. Her expression lightened. "Yeah I know but I know you can still kick butt without them." He blushed at these words. Thank goodness it's dark up here! Wait…she just complimented me! Yes!
"Anyway, I made an antidote, remember? I just don't have a lot of it… and that's why this weapon is nothing to be overlooked! I don't have enough antidotes with me. I would have to go back to Gotham and get the rest… Really Robin I'm actually serious with my work. And you know how obsessed I get when it's the joker I'm fighting... it's almost like you and your Slade obsession…" He blushed even redder… how did she find out about that?… "I'm not sure that this is going to be as easy as I thought…and I didn't ever think it was going to be easy…"
Robin sat there in awe, taking in everything she had just said. "So you're actually worried this time?" he asked her trying his best not to show his feelings toward all of this.
"Me? No…"She said in an unconvincing tone. She waited and then gave up. He was staring at her, and she couldn't fool her best friend. "Fine. Yes I'm worried. I don't want people to get hurt…especially you and the Titans." Robin had never seen her so weak. She had always been strong with her feelings on the old team and this was the first time he had seen her break down like this.
"Don't worry about us, we've beaten Slade hundreds of times." He reassured her. " I know the risks. That's why I'm here, saving the city when it needs me. So don't worry. As long as you're with us, everything will be fine." He wondered whether her should put his arm around her and gave in. He hugged her slightly and she started to relax.
Lightning flashed again and She looked up at the boy wonder. "Thanks. I just don't that stupid clown to win…" she laughed.
"YES, YES, YES!" beast boy said as he beat Cyborg. "Naw way man! I so could have killed you!" Cyborg yelled back. "I'm going to go find something else to do if all you can do is cheat!" He said sounding like a little schoolboy. He walked up the stairs muttering things about beast boy under his breath. When he reached the top of the stairs, everything was dark and all he could see was his team captain sitting next to Batgirl on the floor with his arm around her.
"Uh…? The lights have been on for over an hour…" He asked, turning on the lights. Batgirl blinked and Robin laughed. She had taken off her mask and her eyes were still trying to get adjusted to the light. "You mean we've been sitting up here, in the dark, for more than an hour, and none of my team came to get us?" He questioned, adding an emphasis on the word my.
"Yeah, yeah. Anyway, we got pizza downstairs if anyone wants any..." He said as he turned and walked down the stairs. Robin and batgirl listened to the conversation going on below them. "-But NO! You guys had to go and order all MEAT pizzas!" "Well it's not my fault YOU won't eat good nutritious meat!" "Would you two stop fighting and just eat?" "Please, can we not just call the hut of Pizza and order another pizza for beast boy to consume?"
Batgirl laughed as she stood up. "Come on." She extended her hand down to him. "Lets go and see what's up with the rest of the Titans." He grabbed her hand and pulled himself up. The lightning was still flashing outside and the rain was pounding hard against the window. He bent down and picked up her mask. Batgirl looked over to the window and sighed as he handed it back to her. "I really do love storms…" she said as she put it back on, concealing her eyes.
"Why? You never did give me and answer the first time I asked…" He looked confused…He's so cute when he does that… "Everything about them. The sounds…the darkness (Hey, she one of the bat-kids…give her a break). The power in them I guess." she explained.
They walked down the stairs and grabbed some pizza. "So Guys. Wanna watch a movie?" Robin suggested. The titans all turned and jumped over the back of the couch. "Yeah!" yelled beast boy and Cyborg. "Yes please! What type of film shall we view?" Starfire said as she flew over to the Titans' stash of DVDs.
"Action?" said Robin and Batgirl. They had both answered at the same time. Both of them blushed and looked down at the floor. We think alike…cool…
"And action it shall be!" She pulled out a Superman movie. "Will this one be sufficient?"
"Sweet!" "Cool!" "Whatever…" Starfire went over and turned on the TV. It came on and the movie started. He flew around and saved people and foiled the villain's plan (like he always does…) and then it was over. Beast boy jumped up and started clapping.
"Wow! He was all ZOOM and Lois was all Ahh! And then he was all… yea…that was cool"
"YES…AND THE PART WHERE HE SAVED THOSE KIDS FROM THE BUS? MARVELOUS!" said a loud voice behind them. "KINDA MAKES YOU WANT TO SMILE DOESN'T IT?. AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
The titans and Batgirl jumped up off the couch and braced themselves for battle. "So…who's the ugly guy in the purple suit?" beast boy said changing into a tiger.
"Ugly?" The villain's ridiculous smile fell. "I kind of like it. What do you think Slade?" And of course, Slade jumped down out of nowhere. He tilted his head and looked at the Joker like he was crazy…then again, he was. "Well, actually…I…"
"Whatever." He turned back to the Teens. "So, little batsey-girl. I see you made it! How are you?"
"I'd be better if you'd change your face. It's really getting old, that ugly white thing (I'm not being racist!) showing up all the time. Seriously…. You might want to see someone about getting it fixed…" Batgirl growled. "What do you want, and make it quick, I've got things to do."(By the way, if you haven't figured it out, it's the Joker…jeeze…)
"What do you think Brat girl? I want you dead, and… well now that you think about it, I want all of you dead…" He glanced over at Robin and jumped down in front of him. "BIRDBOY! Hey, how ya doin'? Haven't seen ya in a while. Did old batsey kick you out? What you do to screw up so-" He didn't get to finish his sentence, due to Robin's foot in his face.
"Owie… Fine…Lets play. Joker needs his kicks!" He pulled out a gun and shot it into the air. Robin pulled out his staff and batgirl followed suit. "Titans GO!" They all leaped in different directions, Starfire, Beast boy, and Raven flying into the air and Robin, Batgirl, and Cyborg took off running toward the clown. Slade apparently decided that he should probably protect his employer and jumped down in front of batgirl, as she was about to strike. The Bo staff slammed into his side and he reeled back, landing on the Harlequin of Hate. They both fell to the floor.
"Slade! And I thought you were on my side!" He said as he crawled out from under the assassin. "Oh well. This should be interesting…" He took off towards the door as Starfire and Raven sent their energy blasts hurtling at him. Robin was at the door before anyone could do anything else. "Follow him" he said in his darkest voice. This maniac was driving Dove crazy and all he wanted to do was stop him. The team ran out the door after their leader and went to the garage. He and Batgirl jumped on the bikes and the others got into the T-car. They shot out of the garage into the night in pursue of the two villains. Batgirl sped ahead determined to find them. "Batgirl! Slow down! Your gonna hurt yourself." Robin accelerated his bike and got up next to her.
"I've been doing this every night since you left. Street racing...kept my mind off things… Trust me. I can drive pretty well…" she said. She stopped suddenly, and pointed over into an ally. "There they are." Robin started to the ally but batgirl stopped him. "Robin, Remember what I told you earlier… Don't get hit. If you do, it might be a while before I could get you help…we would have to drive you back to Gotham." She shivered at the thought. "Trust me, you don't want that…"
She started over to the darkened alley pulling out a batarang kind of like Robin's Birdarangs except for the fact it was silver. Robin parked and walked over to her, motioning to the other titans to stay back. "Enjoying the view are we?" said the joker jumping onto some trashcans and making stray cats shoot out in all directions.
"Joker, just give it up. You're going back to Arkham Asylum… Whether you like it or not." Batgirl growled through gritted teeth.
"Actually, I like it there, although they could change the food a little, that last meal they gave me was nasty! Please send my disregards." he laughed as he pulled out the gun and shot it at them. Robin pushed Batgirl out of the way just in time and the bullet hit the wall. Nasty green pus started coming from it and running down over the bricks, making them shine in the dark lit alley. "Yea, I should try not to get hit by those." She said to Robin helping him up. "DUCK!" she ducked and Slade's staff hit a trashcan. "Thanks" she said. Pulling out another exploding batarang. She threw it and hit the Joker square in the chest. He landed in a pile of trash bags, which exploded from the weight and left him covered in rotten food.
"Must you always have to use those things?" he asked, peeling off a banana peel from his ear. "I hate to admit it but they do hurt this poor little clown. He took off running out of the alley and ran into the park across the street, leaving a trail of garbage behind him.
"Get the others, we may need help." Batgirl chased after him and left Robin standing alone in the dark alley. The only one left there was Slade, whom Robin had knocked unconscious with a hard blow to the head. He looked after the girl running to her bike. Fine…you can have all the fun…I'll be a good little leader and go get the team…he thought sarcastically. (a/n: can you think sarcastically?) He waved at Cyborg and took off after her. She was still trying to find the Ace of Naves, who she had apparently shaken off all the food that he had been doused in. "Lost him…" she sighed when Robin caught up. "Stupid clown…"
WHAM. Batgirl lost her balance and stumbled forward, catching herself on one knee and pulling out her staff.
"How dare you call my puddin' stupid, Bratgirl!" Harley Quinn, dressed in her red and black jester suit stood holding the Joker's special gun behind her behind her. "He musta been smarter than you, cause you just ended up back in Gotham city, just where he wanted you…" she threw the gun to the Joker who had been standing behind A tree the whole time. "Nice one honey. Good hit." Harley tossed the gun to him. He shot it into the air and started laughing. "You better run bat-kids, cause this things loaded, and Joker's laughing!"
