Chapter Eleven: A New Plan
Robin
I rubbed my eyes and made my way back to the room Beast Boy and I were sharing. Cyborg was recharging and Starfire was back with her exchange family.
"Good night my little ghost girl," Beast Boy whispered, kissing Dani on the forehead. Too sweet.
Revenge time…
Just for fun right?
Shut UP Voice!
"Hey, BB, you coming to bed?"
"What? ROBIN!"
"Shhh, you'll wake up your sweetheart. Well, are you coming or not?" I asked, holding a finger to my lips.
"Fine…" Beast Boy muttered and walked away.
I smiled and closed Dani's door. I was alone.
We have to find a way to get Danny away from Slade. But there's no way to remove the device from Dani. According to Cyborg it was in her her whole life, tissue and muscle grew around it making in impossible to remove with causing brain damage. What are we going to do?
"Robin?"
I turned around to see Raven. "Is something wrong Raven?"
"No, but Assassin did drop by… Robin she said that Danny wants you to kill him if this gets out of hand."
"WHAT!"
"Robin," Raven sighed, "Next time we have to fight Danny I think you should talk to him. You're really the only one who understands what he's going through."
"Last time, it didn't work…" I muttered. And it hadn't.
"I know. But that life is what Terra wanted. Danny is being forced, just like you were."
"I don't know…"
Raven gestured to Dani's door, "That girl is only thirteen, just like Beast Boy. But instead of being carefree and having a good time like he does, she worries. About everything. What will happen if our parents find out our secret? Will I be able to protect the town if we can't get Danny back? What if Slade awakens him? She has too much inner turmoil. If we don't get Danny back, I don't know what will happen to her."
I sighed, "We'll try. I don't know how well it will work, but we'll try. Oh, and Raven who do you think 'him' is?"
"I'm just assuming, but it's probably a side of Danny no one wants to meet."
Assassin
I walked out of the hallway of Slade's lair and into the lab. He had said he wanted to see me.
"Ah, Assassin, I see you made it," he purred. I hated the sound his voice made, ringing with excitement.
"Whatever," I muttered, pushing a piece of my green hair out of my face and crossing my arms, "What do you want Slade? I was looking at the information for my next job when you interrupted me." That was a lie.
"I'm sorry, Assassin, but I need your advanced technical knowledge."
"So you want me to build a device for you?"
"Yes." He handed me the blueprints. "Is that doable?"
I looked up at him strangely. "Don't you prefer to use full body suits to control you're apprentices?"
"Yes, I did." Slade answered, "But this way Daniel will have little chance of breaking free from my control. Because, as you can see, I'll not only have his body, but his mind as well."
I glanced down at the blueprint one more time. Go along with him, It's the only way to save Danny. "I can make it, but I need one device, to make an improvement to your design."
"And what is wrong with my design Assassin?"
"First off, Danny's a level 8 ghost, which is extremely strong if he lets out all his power, which he usually doesn't. So if you want to control his mind it would be better if you had the device trained to his ecto-signature. Second, this device will also erase all his memory of that younger brat and anyone else who could give him the power to break free."
"Thank you for that information about Daniel's power level, my dear. I'll have to intensify his training tomorrow," Slade said, "Now if you will just tell me where this device is located and its name, then I shall send Daniel to get it tonight."
Raven
I sighed and lay down on the lower bunk bed in Dani's room. I tried to sleep, but I couldn't. My mind was too restless.
The first thing I learned about Dani when I met her was that she had a mental connection. With whom I hadn't known, but it was easy to pick out. Then I had realized that it was with Danny.
Why didn't Slade block that connection?
I also thought about Robin's new ability. Whatever it was, he hadn't been able to do it before.
I'll have to ask Cyborg to check for any changes in Robin's DNA tomorrow.
Finally sleep came slowly to me, but it didn't last long.
Danny
I rolled over on my poor excuse for a bed. My bed was a few blankets and a pillow on the floor of a cell that locked from the outside and was surrounded by a ghost shield. I couldn't leave if I tried, and when I wasn't in my "room", I was (A), being trained by Slade, or (B), on a mission.
Suddenly, Slade entered the room and I jumped up. "Master?" I asked, confused. Usually he sent a Bot to get me.
"Change forms," Slade said.
I changed into Phantom, my new uniform coming to my body as easily as the white hair and green eyes.
"Good boy. You have a new assignment. Follow me, Robin."
I blinked. Did he just…?
"Master, did you just call me Robin?"
Robin
I ran out of bed and to the bathroom. I got on my hands and knees and threw up in the toilet.
"Lovely," I muttered.
"Are you OK, Robin?"
"I'm fine Jazz." I flushed the toilet and tried to wash the taste out of my mouth; it didn't work.
"Are you sure?"
"Positive," I answered. "My body's probably just adjusting."
"To…?"
"That new healing power."
"Oh, well, I'll see you in the morning."
"You too, Jazz." I made my way back to the guest bedroom, but a sharp pain erupted in the back of my skull and I fainted.
Slade
Danny's words had just barely reached my ears when I realized my slip. Danny was turning into the perfect apprentice, just as Robin had. But I had kept other the apprentices secret.
Terra hadn't known about Robin till Robin told her himself. Danny hadn't known about either of them.
"Yes, you are becoming the perfect apprentice, just as he was before his friends took him back." Yes, let him think that Robin had no way of escaping. And his friends had to take him away on a mission.
"Robin was your…" Danny started, but I cut him off.
"No more questions, Daniel. Now are you going to let me finish or not?"
Danny hung his head, "Of course, Master. I'm sorry."
"No matter. Just don't let your curiosity get out of hand again."
"Yes, Master. What is my assignment?"
I smiled. Good to see you're finally learning your place Daniel.
Jazz
I heard someone fall from down the hall. I turned around and saw Robin, out cold on the floor. I ran to his side before I realized that I had no idea what to do.
"Somebody! Help me!"
Raven ran out of Dani's room, "What happened?"
"I don't know! He just fainted!"
Raven grabbed Robin under his arms, "Help me carry him to his bed."
I grabbed Robin's legs and helped Raven set him down on the bed.
"His body is just adjusting. He should just be out for a little while, but he'll be fine," Raven explained.
"Raven, why is he reacting like this?" I asked, scared about what might be happening to his mental health.
"Chances are that Robin wasn't born with this ability, so his body is going through a major DNA change. Don't worry, he'll be fine."
"Thanks, Raven," I sighed, feeling a slight relief.
"No problem. We should probably get some sleep."
I nodded and we went our separate ways.
End Chapter 11
Now, hit the review button and go on to the next chapter! Because it IS there! And yes some of you are thinking, "Didn't Danny already know about Robin's appertinceship?" Well, I said that Robin told Danny Slade had wanted him, not that Slade got him!
