Help
"Stop now, please. I do not wish to be tortured anymore," sobbed Starfire.
"Don't worry child. It will all be over soon, and then, this whole place will just seem like a nightmare," said Slade
He walked behind her again, and this time brought over a small tablet.
"Wha-what's that?" asked Starfire.
"You're getting a change of scenery, this pill is going to temporarily neutralize your powers, so that when you are moved, you can't escape," he said.
He took the pill and shoved it in her mouth, against her will. After a moment, her naturally glowing skin glowing skin tone began to diminish. Her beautiful green eyes began to turn a dark grey. Her fiery red hair darkened into a midnight black. Her spirit began receding deep inside of her. Her last bits of hope began slipping out of her normally vibrant mind. All of her thoughts darkened. She went cold, and the darkness went up her veins at a higher rate.
"Shoot, now!" commanded Slade.
She looked puzzled.
"Use your powers, now!" He commanded again, this time more ferociously
She focused her energy into her hands. When she attempted to fire downward, only a small green burst of light moved from her hand. It went half an inch, then disappeared.
He took the board she was on by the top corners and pushed it forward. But first he forced her to keep her eyes closed, then put a mask on her which only nose holes. No mouth holes, or eye holes. She could feel herself moving forward, backward, around a corner, around another, and other directions in the like.
When it finally stopped, Slade removed the mask. She had no idea where she was, other than knowing she was still in her underwater prison. This room was not like the other room, it was a room made completely of windows. Or that's what she assumed, she was not able to see the back of the room.
Something about the room struck her as odd though. On the wall in front of her was a screen. In the other room, the screen was a mere projection. It appeared only when a transmission was sent. Yet this screen, it looked like it was the movies screen back home, at the Tower.
Slade walked up to the wall and touched it. Another screen appeared, but this was a different screen. It wasn't built into the wall, it seemed like it appeared at the touch of another object, or person. He began quickly typing and moving screens all around. After a minute of that, he left the room. Then, Robins face appeared on the screen. But he wasn't at the tower, she saw the surroundings and he was in the T-ship.
"Starfire?" he said.
Starfire kept quiet. She did not want to talk to Robin at that time.
"Starfire, can you hear me?" he asked
She nodded a s best that she could, but her movements were restricted due to the cuff tightly fastened around her head. But he got the message.
"Starfire! Are you ok?" He asked.
She shook her head.
"Starfire, if you can talk I need you to. Where are you? Can you give us an approximate location?" he said.
"Robin, I do not wish to talk to you. Please, let me talk to Raven," she said softly.
"But Starfire."
"Robin. Please, let me talk to Raven. I wish to talk to her, and no one else," she said.
His expression diminished, but Starfire couldn't see it.
"Raven, turn on your communicator and set it to the hack able frequency. It worked on mine, it should work on yours," Robin sighed.
In a moment, the screen in front of Starfire flickered off, and then turned back on this time revealing Ravens face.
"Starfire! Are you ok, what did he do to you?" Raven asked.
"He's neutralizing my powers," she said, with clear pain in her voice.
"Starfire were coming. We'll be there soon, I promise! You have to stay with me, Beast Boy and aqua lad are scanning the ocean now, Starfire please tell me where you are you. Beast Boy thinks were close, Starfire. Do you think you could give an approximate location?" Raven sobbed, afraid for her friend.
Slade walked into the room, holding a needle filled with the dark substance.
"Starfire! That's going to kill you! You have to move!" yelled Raven.
Starfire tried squirming her way out of the cuffs but it was no use. Slade set down the needle, walked over to the wall, and the computer screens went up again. He entered internet code after internet code, and then the screen was split three different directions. Showing all the Titans but Beast Boy.
"Would you like to know where your pretty little friend is?" asked Slade.
"Give her back," growled Robin.
Slade picked up the needle and walked over to Starfire. He held it above her arm.
"Any last words my dear?" he said to Starfire.
"Slade! You cannot do this. Please do not. I can be of such use to you," she pleaded.
"What about you Titans? Any goodbyes you would like to get out of the way?" Slade said.
"Slade don't!" commanded Raven.
"Let's play a game," said Slade, "Come to these coordinates and see if you can save your innocent little friend. Before she meets her watery grave, or before the poison sets activates," he laughed.
He plunged the needle into Starfires arm, and her body went limp.
"Starfire!" Screamed Robin.
Slade nonchalantly walked to the wall and entered in a set of coordinates. T-ship made a sharp turn and began to go at higher and higher speeds. They wanted, they needed to save Starfire, for her sake, and for Robins. Slade walked back to Starfires board and unlocked all of her restraints. She limply fell to the ground and Slade walked out of the room. Doors sealed and the chamber began quickly filling with water.
After mere minutes, the chamber had almost completely filled. Even in her unconscious state, she could feel the familiar hand of drowning pulling away her life force once more. When she was shedding one of her last breaths, she felt a pair of hands pull her towards their body. It wasn't the spark she felt every time she felt Robin though. This was different.
Her muscles and heart began shutting down. She had already passed out minutes before the mysterious person had come. This was it, her last breath. Then her mysterious savior pressed his lips to hers. His mouth forced her to open hers, and he was able to breathe into her. Filling her lungs up with air, and then letting her breathe out.
But how had this person found her? More importantly, who was he?
