Hello, and welcome to this brand new chapter of Gone! Actually, its not really brand new...it was written last week. anyways, I just wanted to say thank you to anyone who has reviewed this story so far! And I'm gonna shut up and get on with the story!
I don't own Teen Titans, and I don't really care since I've never watched it. I do wish I owned NCIS or CSI or any similar show though...Oh, and charlie doesn't own Teen Titans either.
I opened my eyes and sat up. Bad idea. I cried out when a skull splitting throb pulsed through my head.
When the black spots disappeared, I surveyed my surroundings. I was in a cement room with no windows. The only way in or out was a large metal door which was locked.
I sat down in a corner and nodded off. Hours later, I awoke to the door creaking open. I jumped into the defensive position and Slade laughed.
"Come, Robin, it's time to train." he said.
Slowly I put my fists down and followed Slade into the hallway. Then I made a break for it. I turned the corner to find myself in a labyrinth of endless hallways. Still I ran, I was terrified to look back for fear Slade was gaining on me. But I forced myself to. Nothing. He wasn't chasing me.
Just then, I ran face first into a brick wall. No, not a brick wall. Slade. He sent a swift kick to my middle section and I flew into a wall. Slade grabbed a fistful of my hair and yanked my head back, forcing me to look at him. I hated it. He was trying to make me feel small.
"It's time to learn what happens when you rebel against me."
He dragged me down to a large door that looked like a prison cell. He opened it then threw me in. There was a large vent on the ceiling and I knew that it was not good.
Water poured on me and cold air came out of the vents. I slid into a corner and curled into a tight ball, trying to escape the cold air.
With no windows or a watch, I had no way of knowing how much time had passed. I had figured I had stayed in the cold for several days.
Slade watched me from the door and I could tell he was smiling under his mask. He opened the door and walked towards my fallen form.
"Have you learned, Robin?" he asked.
I stood up and looked him straight in the eye.
"I am not defeated."
Slade grabbed my arm roughly and forced a blindfold over my eyes. I realized Slade didn't want me to find my way around.
He removed my blindfold and I found myself in a small bathroom. The door shut and locked behind me. I turned the water on to find it had one setting. Freezing.
I stepped out of the shower to find my uniform gone and an apprentice uniform in its place. I reluctantly put it on.
A plate of food sat in front of me and I poked at it with my fork. Gray mush, yum, my favorite. I picked up a forkful and forced it down my throat. It churned in my stomach, threatening to come back up.
I pushed my plate away and stood up. "I'm finished."
Slade nodded and crossed his arms over his chest. "We've wasted time. Your first mission will begin immediately." he said.
I zoned in and out as he told me he wanted a broken whatever-ma-bob from the museum. I really didn't listen because I really didn't care.
"And if the Titans come, you will fight them."
I jerked my head up and glared at Slade, now that he had my attention.
Once my instructions were given, I headed out, praying my friends would not come. I wouldn't be able to bear the look of betrayal on their faces.
I slipped into the museum and began my search for the doohickey. I didn't know my way around because I hadn't been paying attention when Slade gave me the layout.
I stopped when I heard familiar voices.
"Dude, can't we turn on some lights?"
"Shut it, BB."
"Come on!"
"Everyone split up."
I mentally slapped myself. I must have set off a silent alarm when I slipped into the building. I turned and silently sprinted down a dark hallway.
I craned my neck around to see if anyone was following me. No one was. Just then, I ran straight into an exhibit. Glass sprayed onto the floor with some of my blood. I felt the red liquid flow down the side of my face.
"Hey, did you hear that?" I heard someone cry.
"It came from this direction." said a voice I was positive was Cyborg's.
I picked myself up off the ground and looked for an exit. I didn't want my friends to see me. My eyes fell on an object that looked like a pool noodle sitting on a tripod. That was what Slade wanted? It looked like what people passed for 'modern art'. So in other words, a pile of junk.
Footsteps echoed in the hallway from which I came. I ducked behind an exhibit as my whole ex-team scanned the area, their only source of light being Cyborg's shoulder light.
Beast Boy walked over the piece of junk that Slade wanted. He was about to touch it when Raven slapped his hand away. I placed my hand over my mouth to stifle laughter.
Bad mistake.
"Come out with your hands up." Cyborg ordered. "Or we attack, and you don't want that."
I cleared my throat and took my voice up an octave. "Turn the light off or this place goes boom."
"Boom." Beast Boy echoed with wide eyes.
"Boom." I replied in my fake voice.
Cyborg turned to Raven and whispered. "What do we do?"
She shrugged. "I've never dealt with terrorists."
I was growing impatient, so I took out a bird-a-rang and threw it at the light. On impact, it shattered into a million pieces. Dark magic encased the exhibit I was hiding behind. It was lifted into the air, but I rolled away before it crashed down on me.
Something large and heavy plowed me into a wall. Maybe a rhino, I really couldn't see that well. I pulled out a knife and sliced it into Beast Boy's hide. He morphed back to human form and rubbed his nose.
"Ow!" he shrieked, more surprised than hurt.
As I sprinted for the gadget, a green starbolt connected with my side. I ignored the searing pain and grabbed the stupid thing, but not before Starfire threw another starbolt.
I ducked just in time and sprinted for the exit. I heard them all gasp behind me.
They had seen my face.
*insert suspenseful music here* Suspense! Well, I already know how the story ends, so not really. but i'm pretty sure its suspenseful for you guys! I want to point out that charlie has already finished this story...I just have to stop being lazy and type it! And also, there will be ten chapters in this story.
And like I said last chapter, I am leaving for vacation tomorrow, so I won't be updating for about a week...unless I can get wi-fi and time to post a chapter! And I will be posting chapter 5 tomorrow morning before I leave...its a really, really short chapter! Okay, I am now too lazy to continue typing, so i'm just gonna shut up and post this!
