Resurrection
In, out, in, out, in, out. Quick, small, shallow breaths went out of Starfires body. She coughed out a mouthful of sea water. She coughed, and she's breathing. Within a moment, she realized she did not become a victim of the seas icy grasp. After a moment, she regained feeling in all of her limbs. Her arms, legs, and other joints had a strange feeling of pressure on them. She tried to look, but her head only went a few inches on each side.
She tried to lift op her hand to feel what was restraining her head, but her hand was buckled down onto the metal board she was laying on. She realized that she was strapped to something, and her limbs were being restrained by metal cuffs, making escape was impossible.
When her vision began to come into focus, she was able to see a very High-Tec room, with many large machines full of bright colors.
"Hello? Is anyone their? I wish to go home now," Starfire called out.
There answer, but a tall figure entered the room. She wasn't able to see his face, just his back. Yet there was something so, so familiar about his profile. The orange and black- her captor was Slade!
Starfire tried to squirm her hand out of the cuffs, to try and confirm her theory, but she didn't need to, he himself turned. Her theory was proved. It was Slade, but how? Slade was dead. How was he alive? That didn't matter, Slade was alive. He's the one who kidnapped her, and almost killed her. But, she was in his control.
A sudden wave of realization washed over her. She is in his control; he can do anything to her. She's practically immobile, the only thing that she has left is well, her powers. She prayed that with when Slade resurrected, he hadn't somehow, somehow built up immunity to the powers. She sent a green pulse of light out of her eyes, hoping to somehow distract Slade, so that he would come over. So that she could, so she could somehow destroy him. Burn him up with one blast of heat.
"Someone's been being a bad, bad, girl," Slade hissed.
He walked over to the side of the board she was strapped too, and raised the palm of his hand, then slapped her hard across the face. Her normally pale skin turned into a deep red.
"Someone's now, if you don't want anything to happen to you, I suggest you start being a good girl," he hissed again.
"They will find you, than they will save me!" Starfire yelled.
"Dear child, I wouldn't count on that. After all, they left you. They left you to die. Cyborg, Raven, Beast Boy, and last but most defiantly not least. Sweet, handsome, alluring, Robin. Your true love. The one that swore he wouldn't let anything ever happen to you," Slade said.
Starfire spat in his face, or at least attempted to. His mask blocked the skin, so it didn't have as much of an affect. But he still got the message. He wiped it off of his face and reached into his pocket, pulling out a small remote. The remote had a black background, with a large red dial positioned in the top.
He took the dial and turned it half way. 700 volts of electricity raced into Starfires body. A pain worse than anything she had ever experienced. Almost as terrible as heartbreak. She let out a loud and long scream. The pain in her voice was clear, but never ending. After what felt like an eternity, but was only minutes, Slade stopped the electricity.
"Now, are you going to behave?" Slade asked?
Starfire didn't do anything; her body was far too numb to speak or to nod. After she gave him no reaction, he turned on the dial again. Sending only a mere 300 volts this time. The pain was still unbearable though. She let out another scream and Slade stopped the shocking.
"Now will you behave?" Slade yelled in her face.
"Yes sir," she whispered, "but I do not understand this. Why have you become so cruel? Before we destroyed you, you were such a gentle villain. You never did anything like this."
"I am sick of you brats trying to bring about my downfall! So I picked you as my first victim. The one who ties the Team together. You, you are the girl who can shoot beams of electricity, light, and fire out of your hands. The one that knows the secrets to the universe. You are the one the Robin is in love with. When you fall so does he. When he falls, who will lead the team to Victory? Cyborg will leave third. Yet without his best friend, what is a short young green shape shifter to do without a cyborg to understand him. Then Raven, loosing Beast Boy, the one who she doesn't know she loves yet, alone. With the only people who have ever understood her, gone. They have left her alone. With no one left, she seeks the sanctuary of Azarath. Then, with the Titans separated, I can seek my revenge, and take control of the city, which will eventually lead onto the world." Slade explained, with hate in his voice.
"Shall you ever let me go? Or is this question to much to ask of a villain with a high stature such as yourself?" Asked Starfire voice shaky.
"Now, if I let you go how will my plan work?" He asked sarcastically.
He walked behind the board Starfire was strapped too. Something bad was happening, he was going to do something to her. She could sense it. Behind her Slade was preparing a try. He set a needle, a vile and other thing with bottles of unknown contents. She heard him and was bracing for the worst.
The only thing she could do was hope, and send a message. The one power she has never told anyone before. It was her secret shame. A power un heard of too Tameranians, unknown to Earth. Very few creatures in the universe possessed this power.
It allowed her to send a message to anyone, anywhere in the universe as long as they had a strong connection. But, she was still weak, and knew that Slade was going to do something to her. All her energy was focused into Raven.
"Help, Slade, electricity, water," that was all that Starfire was able to send.
She was still too weak to send out full sentences. But she hoped that Raven had received the basics of the message. She may have been able to send a stronger message to Robin because of the connection, but she didn't even want Robin to cross her thoughts. It was his fault that she was down here, being tortured by Slade. Yet, she would rather be here, than facing Robin.
She heard something on wheels turn her direction, then the footsteps behind her. Slade came into her view.
"W-what's that?" Asked Starfire
"A message to your fellow Titans," he said while mixing up different ingredients into one of the empty vials.
"What are you, what are you doing with those?" Starfire asked.
"Sending a message to your 'friends'" he said concentrating on his work.
"How" she asked.
"A message written in blood now be quiet and you may experience a slight or long painful sensation," he said.
Starfire shut her eyes, just wishing to be anywhere else. He injected a needle into her arm and removed some blood. Starfire did not move, she did not shake, and she did not cry. He pulled the needle out of her arm and injected the blood into one of the empty vials. He then grabbed a different needle and pulled a thick liquid out of a different vial. He then injected that into her other arm.
"What was that?" questioned Starfire.
Her eyelids began to feel very heavy. The room began to spin.
"Sleep my child," whispered Slade.
Then her eyelids shut, and all her thoughts drifted away from her body.
