Hey! I had some free time for once so I thought I'd get this chappie out.

Don't own anything.


Numb.

That was the best way to describe how I felt at that presice moment. He fell to the ground softly as the Titans arrived. Why does help always come a moment too late? I ran over to his bleeding form alongside Raven who looked like she was going to die herself. Beast Boy and Animal seconds behind. I hear the faint sound of Cyborg's sonic cannon and smell the burning metal mixed with the skin of SK, but none of it mattered at the moment I knelt down in the small pool of blood and grabbed his hand. Raven had begun the healing process but I highly doubted it would work seeing as he had already lost so much blood. April has soft tears running down her face as she buries herself in Beast Boy's arms and tries not to look at the sight in front of her. He moves just slightly to get a better view of his family and waves painfully as he tries to produce a smile.

"Hey... G-Guys... h..ow's it h-h-ha-hanging..?" He speaks in a small voice the blood pouring out of his mouth like a crimson waterfall.

"Brendon save your energy. Don't talk." Beast Boy warns him through teary eyes. April smiles at him sadly and gives a little wave. He turns his head towards me ever-so-slowly.

"M--Mar...S-s-orry I couldn't get t-t-tha-t...ri-ng I promised...you..." I start to cry sliently to myself.

"You'll be able to buy it Brendon, just hang in there a little longer for me, please don't die here, not now. There's still so much I need you to tell me about our childhood! Please, not here! Don't die today! Don't leave me! I love you..Please Brendon smile for me." My tears are blending with the blood on the ground as I cry harder and harder.

"I-Love...love..." His hand went limp in my own. No...No! She did this. I whip my head around and face the monster known as my aunt with the darkest blue glow in my eyes and enough anger in my veins and adrienline in my body to last an Eagles football player at least 20 seasons. Her minacal laughter booms around the room making me want to hit her harder.

"You witch!" I throw a barrage of starbolts as hard as I possibly could staright at her. She avoids most while the rest hit her barely. A singe in her hair or a small burn on her arm.

"NightWing! Take the Titans to "you-know-who's room and place Brendon in the healing serum! NOW!" I command, he gives me a quick nod and heads out. The Titans hanging closely behind.

"Are you really going to step up again Mar'i? I'm surprised. If I remember correctly you were the cause of your mother's death." She folds her arms in front of her chest and gives me a cocky smile.

"I grew up Aunt Komand'r." I spit out her name with disgust.

"Oh, You did, did you? Is that why you still cower away from confrontation? I can see the flicker of fear in your eyes Mar'iand'r it was the same as it was nine years ago and it's the same now. Your scared of me aren't you?" Her eyes have a devilish gleam to them and I want nothing more than to strangle her.

"I'm not afraid of you anymore! You pose no threat to me." Oh, God how I wished I was telling the truth when I said that. She just grins like the cheshire cat.

"HA! I am not as stupid as your troq of a mother Mar'iand'r. I know your afraid of me. It is because you are weak, worthless, pathetic. A troq! Just like Koriand'r."

"Leave my mother out of this! This doesn't consern her! I am not weak either! You are the weak one! You have to use people who aren't even alive against me." I must have struck a chord with her because she becomes extremely indignant and her eyes turn purple.

"Let us see who is the stronger one then!" She pulls her hand back and brings an auburgine starbolt to life.

"Let's. I Challenge you for the crown!" I ignite my azure starbolt as well. In a millasecond we are in the air starbolts flying left and right leaving huge craters in the surrounding hallway walls. I hit her a good three times in the stomach before I had to go on the defensive. I fly downwards to the floor and pull out my bo-staff the butt of it hits the ground as I kick my steel-booted foot out and hit her square in the jaw before catapulting myself away from an incoming starbolt. She grabbed my foot before I could get away making me go wide-eyed and slammed me into a nearby glass window. It shattered on impact and sent me flying into the room landing with a large THUD! on the floor painfully. I touch my cheek gently only to have as crimson color on my calloused fingers. Damn! I'm probably going to need stitches. Before I have time to check out any other injuries a barrage of violet starbolts finds me and I'm forced to move from my postiton and throw and explosive disk directly at the woman who's made my life hell on Earth. She shrieks and falls to the ground with a loud BOOM!

I walk over to her menicingly. She looks up at me painfully but with much hate in her eyes. Her blood is pouring from a gash in her chest and I have no mercy.

"This is for Brendon!" I slam my fist into her nose and gain joy as I hear the crack! of it being broken.

"This if for my Mother!" I give her a roundhouse kick my father would have loved if he had seen it.

"This for the Logans!" I punch her in the eye making it purple 'to match her outfit' as April would say.

"This is for Tamaran!" I slam my foot into her stomach and watch with glee as she coughs up blood.

"And this is for you!" She puts up her hand fearfully as she sees my starbolt.

"Y-your not going...to...kill -m-e..a-r-are y..you...?" I open my mouth to say yes but a soft voice cuts me off.

"No. She will not. I have the utmost faith in her." I turn slowly to see if my mind is playing tricks on me. No fucking way...I couldn't beleive it! I check my locket to see if it was open but it was closed.

"So you...l-lived huh?" I barely register the words that came out of my Aunts mouth. She was here! Alive and breathing! no tubes in her veins, no painful look. Nothing! She looked as regal as I can remember. Her amazing aurburn hair fallng softly down her back. Her gentle smile. But what I remember the most were the loving pair of forest eyes which were looking at me proudly. I turn back towards Aunt Komand'r and release a sigh. What was I thinking...Was I even thinking at that point though?

"Komand'r, Komand'r I must stop giving you the 'chances' but I cannot. And before you say it is because I am weak or a worthless troq it is because I pity you my sister. I know how much you wanted to rule as we were children but you could not because you could not fly. I did not want the crown to be mine and you know that. but i must take on my responsiblity and part of that is seeing as what we are going to do with you. I believe you should be in the prisons of Ookarra for at least 9 years and Tamaran's for 19 more. But I am no longer the ruler and neither are you. You have lost the challenge therefore, making Mar'iand'r Grand Ruler." She smiles at me and I smile back and nod my head.

"Sounds like a great idea to me!" Blackfire does nothing even as the gaurds haul her away she just looked down. She never looked up once.

"Mom? Is it truly you?" I look at her and she nods. I run to hug her but I was tackled before I got the chance. April, Jazz, and Miki pinned me to the floor laughing and crying happily.

"Girl, I thought you were going to die out there? What happened?" Miki asks me. She looks down at my torn, mashed, ripped sweat covered, and bled on uniform and backs of pulling April and Jazz with her.

"Ya know what? I think I'll hug you when you don't smell like death." I send her a mock hurt look and she just shrugs as Jazz and April laugh alongside her.

"Yeah getting changed seems like a good idea right about now. But first..." I run up to my mother and she bows poleitly. I smile and grab everybody's attention.

"I would like to give up the throne and let it be passed on to my Uncle and third in line for throne. Ryand'r!" Cheers erupted from the Titans as I hugged my Uncle tightly and congratulated him. I turn towards my mom.

"Did I grow up to your standards?" She smiles.

"No. Actually you didn't." I frown and turn my head away slightly. "You've exceeded them tremendoulsly." I smile widely at her.

"Come with me."

"Where?" She questions but instead of giving her an answer I grab her soft hand with my own bloody one and pull her over to a shadowed corner where NightWing watched with a smirk plastered on his face. I grab his hand and connect his and my ma's own.

"I think you two have some catching up to do. Nine years worth in fact so I'll just leave you alone!" I smile and walk away hoping that things would turn out alright.


Jump to a couple of hours later(At the palace! Woot!) and I'm in fresh clothes enjoying the company of my friends as the former Titans share their stories with us each giving us their own insight to the story being told.

"And then, it turned out the comic book place was Brushogoun's evil hideout!" Mr. Logan exclaims, waving his arms around.

"You were just upset that you didn't get another kiss from that cat-woman." His wife replies dryly. I chuckle softly as the two begin to bicker and look over at my mom and dad. She's wrapped in his embrace smiling widely. April nugdes me slightly.

"C'mon I gotta show you something!" I nod as with make our ways through the familar corridors. A very, VERY familar door appears in front of me. My room. April says she'll wait outside as I step in. The dust was overbearing as I manervered around my Teen Titan themed room stopping to look at a picture frame of my mom, dad and me as a baby. I smile slightly at the lost memory and daydream happily. My daydreams were cut short, however, by the sound of a guitar. A Gibson Les Paul to be exact.

"My heart is yours..." I turn at the sound of the familar voice only to see a bouquet of roses in front of me.

"You can come out now cassanova." I call out to the emptiness. A pair of muscular arms encircles my waist and axe engulfs my nose once more.

"I thought I was never going to hold you like this ever again." he whispers to me softly, "Thanks so much for the Tree sap and water treatment by the way, but my body can heal itself."

"I don't take risks." I smile at his antics.

"I know but it's so hard to get that stuff out of your hair. OH! guess what? My body took the bullets out on its own and I have them in a plastic baggy! wanna see?" I turn to face him clearly disgusted.

"Maybe later, Right now I want a kiss from the love of my life." He looks around the room puzzled.

"Where is he? I'll seriously hurt him for touching my girl!" I laugh at him and his amethyst eyes sparkled down at me.

"He's actually right here and I can tell he really wants to kiss me too." he gives me a lopsided grin.

"Well you should abide to his wishes because I heard he got shot up real bad a few hours ago." I laugh once more as we close the space between us.

And I finally felt complete.


This isn't the last chapter there's still an epiolouge so watch out!!!

Love ya,

Jackie
