Phoenix Hi peoples! I know its been awhile since I've updated and I apologize for that, its been one hectic week for me. Anyway, I appreciate all the kind reviews and I hope to see more, oh and I want you guys to know that I might not be updating as quickly as before cuz I'm in sports right now so it'll be a little harder trying to write chapters so please be patient with me ok? thanks, now on with the story ;)

Phoenix was now watching her old friend shoot her cage with electric bolts and all the power she had, with shock and fear not knowing whether to turn around and let her suffer for all the things she said and did to her and the titans or to try and rescue her. She then circled around the building searching for an entrance, any entrance to the prison that was holding her friend captive. Before she could start heading for the window where the electric bolts were coming from, she heard tires screeching and the squawk of a nearby hawk. She figured the car was about two miles from where she was since it wasn't a loud noise, but this wasn't an ordinary car, no this sounded like a hand made car with specially designed wheels for all terrain. She was now very curious about what this special car was doing close to Slade's hideout. As she listened closely with her acute sense of bird-like hearing, she noted that she did in fact hear a hawk not to far away, probably the same distance as the car. She then decided to go check it out. When she got to the location where she heard the noise, she noticed the half-robot half-man standing next to a green hawk that had perched on a nearby street lamp.

"Phoenix!, Phoenix! are you here?!" shouted Cyborg looking around. The green bird screeched a few times from its perch but made no effort to get up

"Man, you gotta help too ya know!" said the robotic man looking at the bird. Phoenix did not want her cover to be blown by those two morons shouting her name. They could all get discovered by Slade and then nobody would make it home alive. She quickly flew down and landed in front of Cyborg making him heave a big sigh and almost tackle her with a hug when she transformed back into a human again.

"Oh my gosh Felicia! We've been so worried abou-" Cyborg was stopped when Felicia put her hand out in front of his face to stop him

"What are you guys doing here!" she seethed. Cyborg and bird Beast boy looked at each other and then back at her both looking confused

"What do you mean what are we doing here? What are you doing here?" said Beast boy after he shifted back into his human form

"I'm here because I was looking for Jenny or I guess Electra, what? are you guys here to stop me?." said Phoenix crossing her arms a little frustrated

"Well yea, we are! Phoenix when you disappeared the whole team went looking for you, we were all worried about you." explained Cyborg looking at her sympathetically.

"Well apparently I'm not supposed to be trying to help a villain but I just have to Cyborg!, I just have to! I found Slade's hideout and I saw where he's keeping Jenny, so if we could just find a way to get into the hideout, I think we could-"

"Wait, you said you found Slade's hideout?" said Cyborg looking a little surprised

"Yea, I guess Jenny was trying to send an SOS signal by shooting lightning bolts into the air hoping that we would see them, but I guess you can't see this part of town from the view of tower."

"Well I just contacted Robin, Star and Rae so they should be here soon." stated Beast boy coming into the conversation

"Phoenix here says that she just found Slade's hideout." said Cyborg looking from Phoenix who still had her arms crossed to Beast boy who had a shocked expression on his face.

"What?!" said BB

"Yea like I said, I think Jenny was trying to send an SOS signal by shooting lightning bolts or something into the air hoping that we would see them." said Phoenix

"Dude we have to tell the others about this." whispered BB to Cyborg. Cyborg just nodded his head. When the two boys looked at Phoenix she seemed still a little upset about them interrupting her solo rescue mission but they dismissed that thinking she'd be fine sooner or later. Just then, Robin showed up on the R-cycle followed by Raven and Starfire.

"So what's going on?" asked Robin getting off his motorcycle and getting into the conversation

"Apparently Phoenix found out where Slade's been hiding." answered Beast boy which made Robin look straight at Phoenix

"You did? How?" asked Robin

"This is the last time I'm going to explain this, look I was searching for Jenny er- Electra and I noticed her distress signal coming from a warehouse by the docks and I was about to go help her when I heard these two yahoos coming down the road, so I came over here to stop them from exposing all of us to Slade." She looked at all the titans but all she could see was mixed feelings coming from everyone. Starfire seemed happy enough, Cyborg looked around slightly confused about what to do, Beast boy gave Raven confused looks which returned with some of her own, and Robin looked expressionless. Phoenix just rolled her eyes. She was tired of not doing anything and all this confusion. If she had to be the only one that was going to save her friend, than she was going to do with all her strength, she was not going to loose her best friend again.

"Ughh...If you guys aren't going to help me rescue her then I'll just rescue her on my own." said Phoenix turning around about to leave. Before she could shift into a bird, she felt a hand grab her arm and turn her around. Cyborg had Phoenix by the arm and was looking her straight in the eye. Phoenix was a little scared yet a little excited about the way he grabbed her.

"Phoenix, your not going in there alone, your not ready to fight Slade." said Cyborg with a straight face. She put her head down in defeat thinking that they would send her home.

"But-" her head perked up, eyes looking back at the metal man

"But, that doesn't mean we can't come along to help you." She looked at him with a huge grin on her face and then looked at the others surprised and excited. They all nodded their heads and Robin walked up to her.

"Look Felicia, I know you want to do anything to help your friend-" said Robin, she nodded her head

"Well we don't want anything to happen to you, so we're going to back you up; If she means this much to you then we'll back you up, but if she tries anything funny we will have to destroy her, do you understand?" She nodded understanding the leader's deal. As long as Jenny didn't try anything funny or you know try to destroy them in the process of rescuing her, she would be able to go home or better yet come live with her and the titans! Phoenix just hoped that she really wouldn't try anything because this might be the only chance she gets to escape.

"So what's the plan?" asked Raven coming over to them

"So everyone understand?" asked Robin who had just gone over the entire rescue mission. Everyone nodded except for Beast boy who just stood there scratching the back of head.

"Uh hey Rob, could you repeat that one more time please?" asked Beast boy smiling sheepishly. Raven was shaking her head and Robin sighed.

"Ok, so you and Phoenix will sneak in there through the windows and then disarm the alarm. Once that is done, the rest of us will come in. Raven and Star will then search for Jenny while the rest of us look for Slade and Phoenix will be back at the door waiting for us and if we're not out in twenty minutes, she's gonna come in and help distract Slade while me and Cyborg plant this bomb. Once the bomb is placed and set, we all have two minutes to get out. Everyone will have a buddy that should come out with them, Star your buddy is Raven, My buddy will be Phoenix and Beast boy your buddy is Cyborg. Any questions?" Phoenix looked around and while everyone else shook their heads she looked at Robin.

"Well if we're all set then-"

"Wait!" Robin looked at Phoenix confused

"What is it Phoenix?" asked Robin who was a little perplexed

"I want to do this by myself." said Phoenix confidently

"We've already been over this Phoenix, your not ready-"

"I know you think I'm not ready but this is my rescue mission, you guys can still come but I want you guys to be my back up. I'm not here for Slade, I'm here for Jenny and I intend to rescue her if its the last thing I do." Robin looked at her for a moment. He remembered when he used to be that determined to defeat any villain that came his way when he was working for Batman. That same determination was looking back at him and it made him give a small smile.

"Ok Phoenix, but be very careful." replied Robin giving her a small smile and placing a hand on her shoulder. Phoenix smiled and nodded.

"Yes please be the careful friend Phoenix." said Starfire giving Phoenix a hug

"Yea be careful girl." said Cyborg giving her a wink which made her blush

"Don't worry guys I'll be fine, but if I need you guys I'll send an emergency signal; you'll know it when you see it." They all nodded and then she turned around and shifted into a phoenix and flew off into the distance towards the hideout.

Phoenix had found an opening on the northwestern side of the building and was now crawling through the little tunnel trying to get to the other side. She had remembered that Jenny was probably locked in a cell somewhere in the southwestern part of the building, so all she had to do was make it to that end of the building and then she would free Jenny, the only hard part was trying to escape without Slade knowing she was there. Yea cause' that's going to be real easy...she thought sarcastically. When she finally made it out of the tunnel and looked around, she noticed that she was in some sort of control room of sorts.

She started walking around the room looking for clues about where Slade could be or how she could reach Jenny faster. She turned around and saw tons of video feeds of different areas around town. There was even one of Titans tower.

"So that's how he always has the upper hand on them; this guy's a total stalker." She shook her head, she felt bad for the titans sometimes. They had to deal with all those weirdos, creeps and psychos that roam the city. Then she found what she was looking for, a video feed of Jenny's cell. Phoenix was horrified at what she saw. Jenny's clothes were torn in multiple places and her ankles where chained to the ground. From the looks of it, Jenny must have been trying to break out because the chains were slightly red and had little scratches on them, but she herself was still shooting bolts out her window. Phoenix stopped watching the video feed and started searching the room frantically for a key of some sort to the cell. Just then she heard foot steps coming towards the door. She hid under the desk with her head in her knees hoping not to get caught. Two men then came into the room.

"Man, why does Slade want us to monitor the video feeds?" whined one of the men standing on the other side of the room.

"Because he wants us to make sure the titans don't come looking for him remember? plus he doesn't want any pesky police officers poking around." answered the second man sitting in the chair next to where Phoenix was hiding

"But I hate monitor duty! It gets so boring, all we see is that stupid little girl try to break out of her cell and whine and cry and we see birds, That's it." complained the first man waving his arms in the air. Phoenix was getting tired of hearing the first guy complain so she decided to have a little bit of fun. She sent a small fire ball to the first guy's shoes and pants making his boots and pants catch on fire.

"What the! Dude my shoes and pants are on fire!" the first man turned around and saw that sure enough his partner's shoes and pants where on fire

"Oh my gosh! what did you do!" now both men were freaking out

"I don't even know! but let's get out of here! If anything gets burnt then Slade's gonna kill us!" shouted the first guy as he quickly ran out the room. Soon both men were out of the room. Phoenix mentally high fived her self for a smart and funny distraction. Now back to the mission, even though that was pretty funny. She snickered a little but kept looking around the room. Then she found it, the map to the entire building. Before she left the room, she wanted to make sure that she wouldn't be watched so she used her fire breath to burn the door handle from the outside.

She was now running down the hallway as fast as she could but was trying to be just as stealthy because she really didn't need to be discovered right now. As she was running down the hallway looking up and down other passage ways, she suddenly heard soft humming. It wasn't the most beautiful humming you would've ever heard but it was good. Jenny! I know that humming anywhere! She started running even faster towards the sound of the humming.

Jenny was sitting against the wall in her cell, looking up at the ceiling. She had bruises all over her body from were Slade "disciplined" her for failing at their mission earlier. He told her that if she were to fail again, she might not survive her next punishment. Tears formed at her eyes, how did it get this bad? When she first met him, he said that he could make her be able to teach all those people who made fun of her a lesson. That she could become even stronger, more powerful and maybe even invincible. How could she believe that lie? She put her head on her knees in defeat, praying that he wouldn't come back to check up on her.

"Jenny?" said a voice outside her cell. Her head shot up in confusion but once she saw the owner of the voice, her eyes went wide.

"Felicia! what are you doing here?" she yell whispered. She walked to the front of the cell

"I'm here to rescue you, and I don't care if you want to stay or not, your getting out of here now!" Phoenix then started shooting fire from her hands, melting the bars that separated her and her friend. Once the bars had melted, Jenny ran to Phoenix and gave her a big hug, making both girls cry.

"I've missed you so much." said Jenny in between tears

"I've missed you too, don't ever leave me again." Jenny looked at Phoenix and nodded

"I'll try not to this time." both girls chuckled at this but then an alarm went off.

"Oh no, they must have figured I got out!" said Jenny looking around frantically

"Then we need to get NOW!" replied Phoenix, Jenny nodded and then both girls started running down the hallway looking for the exit.

"Do you know where the exit is?" asked Phoenix as they were running down passage ways.

"Yea, after you go down this hallway you turn left and then we should see the emergency exit, I think." answered Jenny

"YOU THINK?! so you don't know!" shouted Phoenix trying to be heard over the blaring alarm

"Hey! don't yell at me! I've only lived here for about 3 days, I don't know everything about this place, besides I've heard that Slade doesn't stay in the same place for more than four months so I don't think even he knows every exit and entrance in this stupid place." Phoenix just rolled her eyes. As they reached the end of the hallway, they turned left and saw a door. They looked at each other and then went through the door. When they entered the room, the noticed that the lights were off, but suddenly they all flickered on and the two girls realized that they weren't alone.

"Hello girls." Slade was still looking the other direction but something told Phoenix that he was grinning evilly behind that mask of his

"Slade." sneered Phoenix. The infamous villain turned around and greeted them with a fake smile

"Well if it isn't the new titan protégé, how nice." Phoenix gave him a death glare

"And my very own apprentice, now I wonder what my little electric eel is doing outside of her tank?" He looked directly at Jenny but she just charged her hands ready for a battle.

"I want to go home Slade, I hate it here! And I don't want to be your apprentice anymore." said Jenny angrily. Slade just snickered

"Stupid girl, you can't leave and you won't leave, now you and your friend surrender and your punishment won't be as harsh for your insolence." This made Phoenix angry. How dare he insult her like that. Phoenix then made fire daggers from her hands and shot one before Slade's feet making him glare at her.

"You will NOT insult me or my friend and you WILL let us go! and if not, you will have to deal with the both of us!" yelled Phoenix. Slade looked at both girls. They couldn't be that hard to handle right? They were just two little girls who didn't know how to control their powers, or so he thought...

"Fine, if its a fight you want, then a fight you'll get." Slade then started running towards Electra. Electra then shot him back with a lightning bolt. Phoenix then shot a giant fire beam through the ceiling making some debris fall on Slade making him chuckle a little.

"Did you really think that some rubble was going to stop me?" he asked laughing while taking out his bow staff.

"I wasn't aiming for you." answered Phoenix smiling mischievously

"Then what exactly were you hoping to hit my dear?" asked Slade slightly confused

"The sky."

"Ughhhh...how long does it take to break into a warehouse?" whined Beast boy. All the Titans were sitting outside waiting for Phoenix to send them her emergency signal or at least to come out with Electra. Everyone just rolled their eyes at Beast boy. It had been forty minutes and he was starting to complain.

"Even at nineteen, you still complain like an eight year old." said Cyborg rolling his eyes. Beast boy just stuck his tongue out and went to stand next to Raven who was busy meditating.

"I do not! right Rae?" asked BB

"Yes you do." replied Raven in her monotone voice, eyes still closed. Beast boy's jaw dropped

"What!" he was now shocked at his girlfriend

"Yes, you have matured a lot since we were younger but you still act like a kid sometimes." answered Raven

"Told ya." stated Cyborg

"But she also said I've matured, so take that tin can!" said BB

"Guys quiet! we need to be on alert just in case-" Robin was interrupted when a giant fire beam shot out from the building.

"Rob, you don't think-"

"That it was the emergency signal, yea I do Cy, alright Titans Go!"

Phoenix and Electra were still fighting Slade. Now you would think that two against one is an easily won match, but we're not talking about regular people, we're talking about two metahumans against one master martial artist and assassin. At this point of the fight it was really anyone's win. Phoenix was throwing fire balls and Electra was shooting electric arrows at Slade but he still had the upper hand. When the titans burst through the door, the two girls turned around and stopped fighting giving Slade his opening, he quickly sent a swift kick to Electra's face sending her straight across the room. Then it was just Phoenix and Slade and the Titans.

"You can't beat me Titans, I will always be one step ahead." said Slade as he walked closer to Phoenix pulling a knife out of his pocket. Phoenix was getting worried but she needed to give Robin and Cyborg time to plant the bomb. Then she came up with an idea that would hopefully buy them enough time.

"Hey Slade, I know a Titan secret." this caught the assassins attention, the Titans looked at each other confused. They never told her any secrets?"

"Oh really? Please enlighten me." said Slade putting the knife down

"Come here." she motioned for him to come closer to her. As he came closer to her, She shot him with a beam of fire making him fall back a few feet away. Slade glared at her and started to get up but when he tried to move, he felt something hot on his ankles and wrist. When he looked down he saw that his ankles and wrist were locked in chains of electricity and fire. His attention was then directed to the red headed girl struggling to get up.

"Child, what on earth are you doing?" asked Slade with an irritated look on his face

"I'm...tired...of...you...hurting...people." said Electra struggling to keep her hold on the man while trying to stand. While those two were keeping Slade restrained, Robin and Cyborg had went and planted many bombs in the room.

"Ok guys we need to leave now!" shouted Robin. Beast boy and Cyborg ran out of the room while Raven and Starfire kept their eyes on the two girls restraining Slade.

"Robin, what about Phoenix and Electra? we can not just leave them. How will they make the escape?" asked Starfire

"Star's right Robin, How are they gonna get out if they have to keep Slade detained?" asked Raven. Robin thought about it for a moment. He did not nor was he gonna sacrifice two lives for the sake of his team and the destruction of a hated villain.

"Raven, could you maybe build like a fortress made of debris or something that will keep him trapped for the next minute in a half?"

"I could try." Raven then used her dark energy to make a fortress out of nearby debris mean while both girls still having him trapped with their chains. Starfire then sealed the fortress with her eye beams and then both girls dropped their hold on the villain. Electra then collapsed but instead of hitting the floor, she was caught by Stafire. Robin could tell that Phoenix was close to passing out as well so he knew he needed to act fast. He checked the timer on one of the bombs

"1:00"

"Shit, ok Raven you get Phoenix and Star you get Electra and lets get out of here." Both girls nodded and got the other two. they all ran out of the building with thirty seconds to spare. Robin checked to make sure everyone was there and sure enough they all were. But before Robin could congratulate his team...

BOOM!

The building exploded and debris was everywhere. Robin looked up from where they were and noticed a black dome around them. He looked at Raven and mouthed "thank you" to her in which she nodded back. As they were walking back towards the T-car, Phoenix, who was now being carried by Cyborg, started coming to.

"Huh?...where am I?" she noticed that she was in someone's arms and looked up and saw Cyborg who looked back at her and blushed slightly when she smiled at him.

"You rescued your friend kiddo." said Cyborg motioning to Jenny who was lying on a hovering black disc in front of Raven.

"And you didn't do half bad fighting Slade either." said Beast boy who was walking next to Cyborg.

"Well you know what, I'm just glad that this whole Slade and Electra thing is over." said Phoenix snuggling back into Cyborg's arms and falling back asleep. Cyborg just blushed even harder making Beast boy, Raven and Starfire chuckle a little. What they didn't know was that back at the docks, a dark figure was watching them leave.

"You may have one this time Titans, but don't worry I will have my apprentice back, and this time she won't have that fire girl to save her." the dark figure then pulled a laser pistol from his pocket. He then disappeared from sight.
