Hello, everyone! I know I haven't put out any new chapters in a while, and I'm sorry about that. I was having a few school problems. But, the good news is that I'm back, so here is the next chapter. Enjoy.

"Why do you have this girl enslaved here?" the masked one asked.

"I'm not a slave!" I said, strangely offended by his remark.

"Why Robin, you should know that I don't go long without a new apprentice." Slade stated, calm as usual. "Jealous much?"

"Come with us Quinn." Robin said to me. "You don't want to stay with him, he's nothing but trouble."

"I doubt she'll listen to you, Robin." Slade said. "She has too much personality. Even if you managed to bring her back to your headquarters, she wouldn't stay long." Slade was right . Somehow I didn't feel comfortable going with the Titans. There's too much I don't know about them.

"It doesn't matter if she wants to come or not. She's in danger with you around her. Titans, GO!" The purple girl encased Slade in a field of dark energy and held him there while the robot-dude tossed me over his shoulders just as effortlessly as Slade had.

"Put me down!" I screamed, not enjoying the fact that I couldn't do anything.

"No can do, missy." the cyborg said, turning back to the hole in the wall that they came in from.

" Take her if you want, Titans," Slade said through the pale girl's magic, "But if you wake up tomorrow to find every thing a wreck, don't say I didn't warn you." I punched, slapped, kicked and thrashed about doing anything I could to loosen the cyborg's metal grip, but instead of putting me down, he responded by shooting a needle up my arm. Again with the sedatives, I thought, feeling my mind slip back into an abyss of emptiness.

I awoke from a restless slumber to find myself in a small, dark room with my arms and legs chained to the floor. When my eyes adjusted to the dimly lit room, I could make out five figures standing on the opposite side of the room staring at me.

"I believe she is the conscious, now." said the redhead girl.

"That' good," said a voice I recognized to be Robin's. "Now we can ask her some questions."

"I'm not going to tell you anything," I said matter-of-factly.

"Whatever." Robin said. "Why are you working for Slade?"

"Why do you want to know?"

"Are you being forced to?"

"Why should I tell you anything?"

"Is he holding your brother hostage?"

"What?" I asked in tone that was anything but pleasant.

"Is he?"

"How did you...know I had a brother?"

"Do you miss him?"

"No way in heck. My brother hates me." I said coldly. "I don't want to talk about him."

"Please answer the rest of the questions, Quinn." Robin asked, his tone of voice softer. I didn't say anything. These people were getting on my nerves.

"We should leave her alone for tonight and ask her again tomorrow." the robot-dude suggested.

"I agree with Cyborg." the pale girl said. "She got pretty frazzled when Robin asked about her brother, and it's unlikely she'll cooperate now."

"She's chained up, right?" Robin asked.

"Yup." I answered. "Looks like I'm stuck in here tonight, huh?"

"You sure are." Robin said, and they left the dark room to me.

I know this chapter was kinda short but I wanted to put something out here for you guys. I will put the next chapter out sooner though, so don't worry! Goodbye all my precious Oreos!
