Authors Notes: I realize the last two chapters where really short but it's been a while since I wrote anything…. So I'm a bit out of practice. I'll try making them longer. Though at the rate of the last two chapters… the 5 chapters will end up being more like 12… *sigh* I'll do my best to make this one longer.
Also… If you're hoping Robin or Danny will come out of this un-tormented… um… hee… w Not going to happen…. But then again… I'm a really bad tormentor… so it probably won't be very bad torment…

Surviving the Titans

Chapter 19: Escape

Sunday Night: abandoned movie theater

"Stupid. This is so stupid!" Freak show mumbled, sitting down in a huff.

"Oh. Having a bad day?" Sam asked not really caring, as her eyes glared at the man.

"Like you care."

"Of cores." Sam said blinking innocently.

"Sam…." Tucker said irritated. "Stop teasing the guy that's got us locked up."

The two teens were sitting in a small cage that barely gave them any leg room as they sat back to back tide together with rope. The cage was so short that they wouldn't have even been able to stand. To the side, in their own individual see through cages where the Teen Titans: Raven, Cyborg, Beastboy, and Starfire.

"I don't mind making fun of our captor." Beastboy said making faces. "Let us out you jerk!"

"Oh, shut up." Freak Show said. "Once this is all over I'm so out of here." He mumbled.

"So what- we just sit here till the end of the world or something?" Cyborg asked irritated.

"More or less." Freakshow shrugged not really caring.

Suddenly, Beastboy sat up straighter and Cyborg blinked as Starfire put her hands over her mouth. Freakshow was not blind to this. He looked behind him to see empty space. "What the hell's wrong with you?" He asked turning back toward them only to get smacked in the face with metal. Freakshow momentarily saw stars before hitting the ground

"Whoa." Jazz said gripping her chest; she'd used a Fenton thermos to knock the man out. "I'm glad that worked." With that she walked over toward Sam and Tuckers cage and looked at the lock. She smacked the lock with the thermos, uselessly.

"Jazz…" Sam said. "I hate to hamper your marvelous rescue but-

"The keys are in his pocket." Tucker said.

"Oh…" Jazz blushed. "I knew that."

Sunday Night: ?

Vlad through Danny Down on the floor, and the boy groaned. "Danny!" Robin said seeing the boy.

Sitting up Danny looked around. He saw he was in a large room, with electronics all around, a lab he guessed. His eyes moving up slowly he saw the black shoes of a very familiar hate. "Vlad!" Danny hopped to his feet.

"I wouldn't if I were you." Vlad said holding out the button. "You behave yourself, or you get shocked."

Danny growled his hand going to his thought- his body remembering the shock but his mind still catching up. It didn't take long. Taking the moment to look around Danny saw Robin hanging about 10 feet above them. "Robin?" Danny said seeing the boy held up by four different chains in the air. "What the…?"

"Like it?" Vlad said. "That's Slade's prize. For his help he received a gift from me. The crystal I had hidden at Axion Labs."

"Crystal?" Danny asked.

"The necklace that you stole." Vlad said, pointing up to what looked like a satellite dish. On the end of the dishes antenna was a large green stone, the exact size and shape as the Axion necklace.

Danny could see now Robin was hanging right in front of the dish like thing struggling against his restraints. "Why would you have me still your things?" Danny asked confused. "Why not just get them yourself?"

"Oh. I could have." Vlad said. "But it was so much fun to watch you dance."

"What do you plan on doing with us?" Robin growled, voicing Danny's thoughts.

"Oh!" Vlad said "That's the greatest part of all! I bet you've noticed the collars around your necks."

Danny frowned deeply- it was hard to miss, especially since his mussels were still sore from the shock. "Yeah, I noticed." Danny growled is irritation growing when Vlad grinned with amusement at that.

"What you may not have realized, young Daniel is that those collars have a very special chip in them. I'm sure you remember- you held a chip of the very like only a couple of days ago."

"The one from the bank?" Danny asked suddenly realizing why the collar hurt so much. Then he looked to Robin confused. "But…"

"Ahh!" Vlad said pleased. "So you noticed, why put one on the boy wonder?"

"Simple." Slade said walking up to the satellite machine. "This stone Masters gave me will help turn him into an obedient servant."

Robin struggled harder against his bondage when he saw the man. "Like hell I will!"

Slade hit a button and a whirling sound came from the strange machine. "Oh… I'm sure, pretty soon, you'll see, you don't have a choice."

abandoned movie theater...

Control Freak took a step back as the machine he'd been working on lit up. "Yes! Yes! Ye-heh- es!"

"This is good, yes!?" Techness said happily.

"You are like Braniac, man!" Control Freak confirmed.

"And that is good?" Techness asked unsure.

"Totally!"

"Far-out!"

"Okay… that was way outdated." Control Freak grabbed the machine and handed it to Techness. "Now take this to Slade."

"Right." Techness said. "You can count on me, I've got this covered." With that the ghost took the object and shot off through the roof disappearing.

Sighing Control Freak grabbed the box of cold pizza and walked over to his chair when a black mass suddenly wrapped around him.

"What the!?" He blurted before he glared at Raven as she rose out of the floor in front of him. "Surprise, surprise that useless Freak was actually right about something- but you're too late! And I'm not going to tell you anything!"

"We're missing some friends." Cyborg said placing a hand on the man's shoulder, grinning darkly. "You might wanna consider telling us somethin'." Starfire flew up behind Cyborg her eyes glowing, and Beastboy stood beside her his arms crossed.

Control Freak couldn't hide how nerves he was.

Pink was the first thing she saw. Pink lacy pillows surrounded Maddie. The room was overly cute. Maddie looked down to see she was in an equally pink frilly dress. "What kind of…" She stood looking around. Not only was the room she found herself in impossibly pink it was also expansive. "Get rid of all this frill and I could put a whole two and a half Fenton Labs in here." She said.

She noticed a small envelope on the nightstand next to the large bed with her name on it. Her brow went up in confusion as she read it. "Dinner will be served at 7?" She said. "What kind of crazy fluflu place did I land in? More importantly how did I get here?" She thought about it. She knew she'd been fighting ghost… what happened?

With a gasp she recalled Jack getting sliced by the Fright Knights sword. "I have to save Jack!" She ran out of the room.

Danny jumped into the air flying toward Robin only to stop as his collar started to shock him, fighting the pain Danny tried to move forward but the pain was too grate and he fell from the sky.

Danny looked up as the shocking stopped, his limbs still twitching, as he saw the satellite like machine shoot a beam at Robin, and Danny realized in an instant that the machine was some kind of ray.

Robin screamed as he was enveloped by the green light.

"Stop!" Danny yelled and his eyes went wide with shock as Robin fell from the chains that held him hitting the ground solidly. "What did you do to him?" Danny asked horrified.

"Well, what do you know…" Vlad said. "It worked."

Authors Notes: Hum… was that ending too much of a cliffy? I kind of feel mean now. However, I also have to tell you … the next part of the story is part of why I never really got this story done- I'm so self-conchies. I'm worried people are going to absolutely hate it… We'll see though wont we…

*sigh* Really, I had started this story for myself… I'd had like 4 different story's up and no one really read them so I never expected anyone to follow this one. The more people that read it the more happy I was- and the more scared I was that the happy comments would turn into "What the Hell Man?"'s … so… yeah… but I must finish. It's only fair… even though now most of those people who fallowed this are off doing different things now and most likely don't even remember this story. I just need to get over my fears and finish it.
