I decided to post this one up, so enjoy~

As for everyone else, that is why I had chapter 5 short. However, it holds its purpose for a reason. It will explain later out in the story. I promise you all that much. :)

Begin Chapter 7~

Several weeks later, I began to be myself by working out in the gym. All my efforts, my powers, strengths, weaknesses, focus, and everything else about me in this room. It was beyond in my control, believing that being a hero meant so much to me, and chanting how I will never become Dan. I have a choice and I stood by that. Whether my whole family was gone or both of my best friends, nothing was going to change me. At least, Jazz is the only person I have…well, and Vlad, but Vlad agreed to look after her until I come back home.

Right now, I'm benching four hundred thousand pounds at a good pace. I broke sweat after half an hour later. Everyone is on their mission, so there weren't much to clean right now. Although, I have been working out for almost three hours and I stopped, figuring that was enough for the day. I headed into the tower center and still see the place empty. At least the screen can tell me what might be going on and I set the computer up.

The screen revealed Cyborg's point of view and he has everyone almost in his sight.

I couldn't believe it-

Sladebots! There were hundreds of them and I realized I had forgotten about them. Everyone was having a difficult time fighting them all off! I thought back and it was exactly how I measured the timing. Slade has his pattern and he wants me out there by their side. NO! Raven and Starfire were forced to fall on their back.

"Slade isn't getting away with this and that is not how he should treat them," What the- "That's it! No one treats Beast boy like that either!" My ring came through me and I transformed to Phantom.

I pinned down the location and knew exactly where they would be. Downtown, eastern side, and it was a huge space of this place. I fled in accelerator speed and found myself rushed over in a field of over hundreds of Sladebots. All those bots knew how to fight, but determining the real Slade was a challenge.

Cyborg was able to take down half of them in his sight, but it wasn't enough to bring down. He could be taking down at least fifty of them, but it's not enough. Starfire was bashing into them like a rough wrestler, but she's a rookie there sometimes. Beast boy rammed into them with his gigantic creatures like rhino or Rex dinosaur or…wait, is that sasquatch form? My head shook and quickly focused on them. Raven was chanting, but she needed to focus at a faster pace because her chanting doesn't go much. She needed my help the most.

I floated by her and she noticed my presence. My Cryokinesis formed as a ball and threw at the incoming bots. They were hit blasted into shattered crystal dolls like. Her eyes cornered over to me, not expressing much of herself anyway.

"Thanks," She said drily.

I nodded, "No problem."

I aimed for the rest of the bots that were getting too close. Some were leaping into the air, but I froze them and blasted the ecto energy against them. Raven managed to crush ten bots without a panic on her timing.

I saw Starfire having a difficult time getting out of their grips, but she was demanding them to get off her. More and more crowded onto her, but the vibe on those bots weren't holding so well causes an ultimate blast from her starbolt. They landed right on their back and ended up dead in her case. My lips curled into a smirked, having to give her credits to handle that so well, and definitely have to give her a high-five later.

Beast boy was rushing through, smashing them against the ground (honestly, walls would be great), and making space to get through. He constantly changed shifting forms and that has to be too much energy for him. However, using different tactic would be wise. His speed wasn't slowing him down and he's getting much as Cyborg does.

My green eyes kept looking around, there were too many of them, and I could freeze them all into an icicle right now. Oh, wait! I can! I triggered my intangibility and the Cryokinesis at the same time. How thrilling this would be since I haven't done this trick almost a year and a half. I phased through every single Sladebots in the field, causing to turn them into icicle statues, and drawing less problems. I managed to avoid all the titan members, but I haven't spotted Robin anywhere.

Where is the traffic cone dude anyway? My ears were focusing on everything, slowly picking something up, and grunting caught my attention. I knew that was Robin. My eyes picked up the direction of the sound and it was by the bridge and ocean. He was fighting Slade, but he doesn't look too well. His body was showing tiring signs and barely any strength within him left. I checked my surrounding and seeing there were only twenty set of them, I knew the rest could handle this on their own. I flew over to Robin and saw how well Slade fought. He managed to catch a hold of Robin's wrist and held him up in the air high. Robin groaned in such pain and I wasn't liking the way things were turning out.

I approached him without given noticed and blast his elbow. His reflective reaction to drop Robin was perfect timing. Robin landed on his feet, but he was pale looking. He held up his guard and about to kick-

His body collapsed immediately! My eyes widened and Slade leaned forward. The ecto energy formed largely and caused to push his back several feet away from Robin. Slade glanced up and saw me.

"Well, well. Phantom has finally came out of the hiding Tower." He commented.

I stood in front of Robin, knowing he fainted, and refused to place myself anywhere else. This hero needed my protection now and I promised him that he won't be caught in the archenemy's hands…I knew how he felt. My mouth was sealed shut and let the criminal talk all he wants.

"I was wondering when you will come out. I see you have grown quite attach to them and defended them from my bots. You are protective as they say." He moved himself up, but not rushing either.

My eyes were on him, but his suit was sending me a warning to avoid touching him or fall for the risk. I knelt down, observing his movement, and picked up the leader into my arms. I floated up in the midair and made sure the man wasn't getting close to me.

"I can bring your loss love ones back…under my agreement." Slade was beginning to negotiate.

I froze…To bring them back alive – no. Fenton, no. It will be another consequence of being Dan again! That won't happen ever! I kept flying away and joined the rest of the titan members. Cyborg already got his T-car ready to go and Starfire took him into the car. They were all gathering into the car with Robin and I checked one last time on Slade. He was gone.

His breathing wasn't nearby either, so it was safe to know he won't be coming back until the next two days of another certain holidays. I need to check up onto that later, but Robin's priority comes first. Once the T-car was driving on the way to the tower, I went invisible and teleported back to the tower. I decided to make sandwiches – especially for Robin because he doesn't eat much. He passed out during a fight was not a good sign. I was quick to make plenty of sandwiches, even vegetarian ones. I set out plenty of bottle water and soda pops out.

If I hadn't shown up, anything could have had happened to them. Three hours would mean a serious criminal like Slade. I was glad to check on them and they're finally here. I can easily hear worried chatters and concerns going off. They weren't heading here, but to the medical wing. I grabbed a plate full of sandwiches and couple of drinks on me. I headed over to the medical wing and saw Robin laid out on the bed. While Cyborg started hooking up to the machine to Robin and checking his vitals.

"What happened?" I asked, I hadn't decide on telling them yet.

Raven turned her head, "He passed out, but a new hero protected him from Slade."

I nodded, "I had a feeling he'd pass out when he doesn't eat. I got sandwich," I lifted plates.

Cyborg nodded, "He will need water. According to his vital, he's extremely low on his blood sugar and severely dehydrated. Help me out on getting him onto having water first, he should wake up soon."

I nodded and Starfire held the plate for me. Cyborg held Robin's body up in a sitting position and I lifted Robin's chin down slightly. I poured water passed his lips and helped his throat to swallow them. His body gasped for air heavily, but he was regaining his conscious again. He was sitting up on his own and helped himself for more water. He did gulped down a lot and finished up at least two cups size of water.

I gestured Starfire to come over and she held the plate out to Robin with a caring smile. He realized everyone is in the room and watching him. He groaned due to the pain on his head.

"What happened?"

"You passed out. Some new hero saved you from Slade." Raven told her.

He nodded and flinched due to head pain. He accepted a turkey sandwich and eats, knowing everyone will be on his nerves about that, and getting food inside of his stomach. Starfire passed the food out to everyone and they helped themselves. Beast boy grinned to see a vegetarian one and eats as well. Everyone had to be starving anyway.

"I told you, Robin, you should have eaten something before we went to the mission." Cyborg complained.

He groaned, "I know, I know, but Slade was too important. He's up to something."

I kept quiet because I finally knew little insight of the truth, but it was like shaking hands with the devils.

"I will be in my room for the night. I need my energy for the next missions." Raven commented and left the room without waiting.

Starfire agreed, "So will I. Feel better, Robin. Do rest well and eat." She waved.

Beast boy groaned, "My back is killing me! I think a bed rest and calling it a day would be sweet right now. Night, dudes!" He walked out in slumping shoulders.

My eyes rolled since I knew he was ramming into so many bots anyway. Cyborg was checking on his vital, but it was leaving us more space in the wing here. He was pleased to see everything was going back to normal for Robin.

"Alright, man, you take it easy now. Eat a couple of more sandwiches before you sleep and one more cup of water. I'll check on you in the morning." He informed him, "That means no leaving this bed and I don't care if you claim you're fine, if there's a mission before I say you can get out of bed." He declared.

Cyborg is an awesome big brother type and he cares for everyone's health. He always has someone to look after and they all look after him as well. He knew what he was doing, but always human no matter what. It's nice to have him around and someone relatable for half human. Robin chose not to argue with him this time. He left us alone and the door slid to let us know we have some privacy now. I closed the window with the blinds and turned on a couple of lights in here. Robin was definitely eating his sandwich and drinking more water this time.

"Were you the new hero they were commenting?" He asked quietly.

I nodded, "When I checked in the mission you were in, I recalled the five days before Easter holiday. I came out to help and Raven was getting to be almost overcrowded by those stupid bots. I…erm, saw you passed out."

He nodded, "Yeah, normally I can handle him up to five hours." He yawned his head off, "So, what happened?"

My head lowered, "Slade commented about…bring the love ones back, under his condition. He knew I'd come out, but I don't think he was counting on your fainting moment."

The leader looked tensed, "What happened after he said that?"

"I flew away with you. I made sure our friends have you and drive you back here. I came back here fast and made sandwiches. But…Slade will be back again in the next whatever holiday two days before."

Robin nodded, "Gotcha. We will work that out tomorrow afternoon. All we can do is be prepared for the next attack."

I sighed and figured that's all we can do, but Slade knew. He purposely knew that if I get trap by them, spend time with them, and lives with them…I'd get attach personally. I was afraid to lose them too. They're like family to me and so much reminder of my first family. I grew so close to them every day, being there for them, and helping them out in a way I can.

Although, Robin has been getting me worried lately. That passing out wasn't the first time at all. He passed out when we were studying on Slade and I thought it was too much focus between me and him. He passed out when he went on a simple mission. He wasn't training for more than an hour with me, but after dinner hour, he'd pass out again. Maybe I should make sure he eats more since he barely eats. What if his body is reaching for an attention for certain food? That he could barely recognize when he is hungry or using so much he had burned off from? Where else would his body pick up the other energy source?

Even my body cannot go without food for more than two days or I'd get sleepy mostly, but still, it has an effect on me. Looks like I'll be feeding him more regularly and deal with him on my own.

Care to review? I will post one up on Monday.
