Thank y'all for the reviews. they're what fuel my story! yes, i started writing this when i was 11, thanks, worthlessdeath. Pickles12, yes this does take place during Apprentice Pt. 1&2. it also covers more episodes. like i said b4. if y'all have any ideas, feel free to share them!
The Titans and I hit Robin with everything that we had. I don't think that any of us wanted to fight him -I know that I didn't- because even though he wasn't himself at the moment, we still cared about him. I almost stopped dead in my tracks, but for some reason I decided against it. After a while, though, I decided to try my telepathy on Robin and speak to him through his mind. While the other Titans kept on fighting, I stepped to the side and started concentrating on clearing my mind. If Slade was forcing him to act this way, then maybe Robin could tell me without taking the chance of Slade overhearing him. I spoke inside my mind, and Robin heard me.
I asked, Robin, what the heck are you doing? Why are you dressing like Slade and stealing? You were so sweet to me earlier and now you've attacked me and we hate fighting you! It's like you're a completely different person. I mean, just a few hours ago you offered me a place to stay and treated me so kindly. If you're going to be like this, then I'll go ahead and leave.
What he said next surprised me. He answered, Ok, I don't know how you're talking to me, but I had better not tell you what's going onbecause I don't know how Slade is monitoring me. Just know that I don't want to act like this. It's to save the others, but don't tell them or they won't last much longer.
That's all I heard, because Starfire had hit him hard from behind with her starbolts. He fell down face first and I ran to him to help him up, but what he said next sounded nothing like what he had just told me in my mind.
"Get away from me now! Don't come any closer. I'm warning you."
I paid no attention to Robin. I knew what was going on. I came closer to grab his hand, and when I was within two feet from him, he blasted me with a laser and I hit the same wall as earlier, but with much more force, and then I blacked out.
When I woke up, I was back in Titans Tower, with Starfire leaning over me. She informed the others that I had woken up, and when they came over, they all took a turn yelling at me and letting me know that because of me, Robin had gotten away, and that Slade was probably more powerful now. I tried to explain to them that the whole Robin situation wasn't as it seemed, but since they hardly new me, they didn't listen and just ignored what I said. I was really upset, and torn. I wanted to tell the Titans that Robin didn't want to act the way that he was. That he had said something about acting that way to save them. However, I also wanted to respect Robin and not tell them what he had told me. I flew up to the roof and sat on the edge, looking out at the horizon and watching the sun set over the ocean. Then, without warning, I started crying! I don't know why. I guess because of everything that had happened during the past seven or eight hours. I was zapped from home, attacked by the Titans, yelled at by Robin. Robin offered to let me stay with them, then we went to fight Slade; Robin disappeared, and he turns up at the museum dressed like Slade and stealing a laser or something. He then turns on us and attacks me. Then we start battling him, and I try to ask him what s going on using my telepathy, and all he tells me is that he doesn't want to act the way that he was, and not to tell the others what he said because he's trying to save them. Now the other Titans are mad at me because, according to them, I let Robin get away.
I don't know how long I sat there before I heard someone shut the door leading to the roof and come sit down next to me. I didn't bother looking up, because I was afraid of being yelled at again. I then heard Beast Boy start talking.
"Hey, uh, sorry for yelling at you back there. It wasn't your fault that Robin got away, it really wasn't. I guess that since we just met you and all, we don't really know what to think. We haven't had that many guests before, so we're not really used to having someone that we don't know following us around. But I have to admit; you're a really good fighter. Maybe, if you don t find your way home, you could join the team. You'd make a really great addition. The other guys don't know what they're saying, so don't pay any attention to them. Robin thinks that you're a great fighter too, he told me so. I think he really likes you. You know, as a friend, a really good friend. And you know what's weird about that? You've only been with us for a few hours, and he barely got to talk to you. Heh, I guess you just have that kind of charm."
At this I looked up at him. He smiled at me, and I smiled a tearful smile back. I looked back out at the horizon, and right then, I felt like Beast Boy was my only friend. He was the only one that had bothered to come check on me, and from the way he talked about me, I guess that he really didn't have that much of a problem with me. Now it was my turn to talk.
"You really think so? Wow, that's really sweet of you to say. Anyway, about Robin. The thing is, well, I'm telepathic, so I tried to get an explanation out of Robin by talking to him telepathically. He told me something, but I can't repeat it to you or Starfire or the others. I really want to, but I can't, he told me not to. Just please, do what I say -and tell the other Titans this, too- if we do have to face him again, don't hold back. Act as if it were Slade or Cinderblock there, not Robin. I know that it sounds as if I'm trying to get him hurt, but I'm not. You'll just have to trust me."
After I said this, I started sobbing again. I felt Beast Boy put his arm around me and pull me closer to him. Then I felt the other arm go around me, and I just melted into him. He was saying things like "Shhh, shhh, shhh", and, "It's all right, don't cry. I believe you." I can't explain how I felt, all I know is that I felt like I would fall off the Tower if he weren't holding onto me right then. I hugged him, too, and when I calmed down, we sat there together and looked out at the ocean, listening to the birds and the water lapping against the shore.
When it came time for bed, I changed into my pajamas with a wave of my finger. I laid down on the couch and fell into restless sleep.
I woke up during the middle of the night feeling very sore. I guess I had slept in a bad position or something, so I got up and took a walk down to the edge of the island. I sat down on the rocks and watched the water hit the shore, then I started skipping rocks. I was glad to have some time to myself. I decided that I couldn't stay with the Teen Titans, no matter how much I wanted to. It was after I made this decision that Beast Boy, once again, joined me out there.
"I'm guessing the couch was too lumpy. Are you okay?"
"Yeah, I'm fine. You know, you're the only one who seems to care about me. I mean, the other Titans are mad at me, Robin's gone psycho, and I have no idea where I am or how to get back home. You've been so sweet to me; I don't know how to thank you."
"Aww, don't say that. You seem like a really cool girl, and like I said earlier, if you can't find your way home, you'd make a great addition to the Teen Titans. The other guys will get used to you. I told them what you told me earlier. I think that it might have helped a little, but I really don't know. They're all nuts, and that's unusual, cause they're the ones usually calling me nuts", he laughed.
I laughed, too. "I guess that makes two of us. Of all my friends, I'm always the one with the jokes and the goofy actions and stuff. I crack my friends and family up, and I even crack myself up sometimes. I mean, I am so clumsy! I trip over my own feet; I'm constantly dropping things. I somehow always end up dropping all of my books at least once during every school day. You have no idea how embarrassing that is; especially when the guy you have a HUGE crush on is standing right in front of you! I guess I get it from my mom, I don't know why. She's Tamaranian, like Starfire, so she's still trying to get used to things around here. I don't know why I'm so clumsy, because I was born here on Earth, and I have no problems with any of the customs or traditions here. The only thing is that my mom makes me celebrate Tamaranian holidays as well as the holidays here. Aaarrgghh, it s so confusing!"
"Wow, that really must be tough. Having to deal with being half-alien and half-human. You're right about the not-knowing-what-it's-like-to-be-at-school thing. The Titans have never been to school. Anyway, that's boring. You're unlike any girl I've ever met. You're funny, cool, and a lot like me!"
I was stunned by those last comments. I looked up at him. I couldn't believe all these compliments that he was giving me.
"You know, if I do end up becoming a Teen Titan, y'all are gonna have to get used to me. I'm different from the rest of you. I mean, I've lived a completely different life than y'all have. I'm not that much of a serious person. I can be serious when I want to be, but that's really rare. I'm loud, outgoing, crazy, and hyper. I love to goof off and go shopping. I mean, I'm a regular teenage girl. I'm not a superhero, at least, not yet. C'mon, let's go back inside . Beast Boy and I walked side by side back to Titans Tower. When we got inside, I laid back down on the couch and fell asleep almost instantly.
Ok, how was that? did y'all like it any better or worse? LET ME KNO OR I'LL SEND MY FLYING MONKEYS AFTER YOU!
