Chapter 9: The Confrontation Part Three

Jeff stood by as Will traveled inside the massive Titan's Tower, he asked Will how he could possible take all ten Titans at once, he explained to Jeff that he had a canister of a special toxin that could rid anyone of their powers as well as render them unconscious for fifteen minutes. Will also explained that once he had all the titans tied down, he would call Jeff up to finish the job. When Will finally disappeared into the building, all of Jeff's inner thoughts, thoughts that he was sure he had bottled up, came back with a vengeance.

"Friendship is nothing more than an illusion." "We're all messed up, it's human nature."

"I live for Jeff, I'm tired of hurting for everyone, why don't they hurt for me for once?" "All the years I've destroyed myself, and what do I have to show for it?" "I blame the people, I blame their cheers for my pain, I blame their greed for my anger." "I am the 21st century of villains." "I am the chosen one." "Popularity doesn't mean a damn thing to me."

He remembered his nickname in the Hero's Academy, "The Anti-Christ". Was it true? Was Jeff an Anti-Christ? Just for being different. For fallowing his older brother who he thought had accepted him, just for killing one person? The torment he suffered through, made him want to kill himself. And it would be everyone's fault. They were the one who killed me. Did that make them an Anti-Christ? No, of course not, It was different. Jeff didn't know how or why, but it was different.

Jeff's lost his train of thought when Will stepped out of the door.

"It's time" He blankly said.

When the brothers made their way to the doorway, Will told Jeff to stop, he wanted Jeff to show himself at the appropriate time. "Was all of this some sick performance to him?" Jeff thought to himself. But he obeyed and stood in the doorway, meanwhile Will made his way into the main room with the now awake and struggling Titans.

"Red X!, what do you want with us!" asked a frustrated Robin.

"Oh, it's not what I'm going to. It's what my new accomplice is going to do" Red X replied with a unforgiving tone. With that he pointed in Jeff's direction. Signaling him to show his face, which was fortunately covered by his mask.

"Jeff!" Kid Flash screamed, "What the Hell are you doing?"

Will squeezed on the back of Jeff's neck, "Don't answer them" He coldly commanded. Will handed Jeff a gun, "Now, why don't you start with the red head with the big mouth?" Will asked, gesturing to Kid Flash. Jeff didn't reply, he just held the gun up and pointed to at Kid Flash.

"Oh, and one more thing,… take your mask off."

Jeff had no choice, he tore off his mask to reveal his hazy eyes holding back tears.

"Now, shoot him." Will commanded.

Jeff, held still. He couldn't pull the trigger. He quickly took a glance at Jinx, who was next to Kid Flash. Tears streaming out of her eyes.

"Do it,…. Pull the trigger,… Damn it! I said kill him! Do it!" Will shouted at Jeff. Be he slowly lowered his gun.

"No,.. I wont." Jeff felt a bone crushing fist meet his face.

"I told you the price you would pay if you didn't cooperate" Will said pulling out his own gun, and pointed it at Argent. Quickly, Jeff pulled out a saw blade and tossed it, catching Will's gun and destroying it. Will never thought Jeff would even try to stop him, while he was still in shock, Jeff scrambled for his gun, and shot at kid Flash's restraints. He fell to the ground and threw some quick punches, that were dodged. With Will distracted, Jeff took his blade, and crashed it against Will's skull. This knocked Will down long enough, for Kid Flash to fetch some chains and tie his hands and feet together.

"I'll find you Jeff!, You will be Switchblade the villain always! No matter what you're still a murderer!" Will yelled as he struggled against the chains. It took about three seconds for Kid Flash to run Will to jail and come right back.

Jeff continued to cut people down, but the emotional pain for him was not over, not yet.

Everyone stood in silence, staring Jeff. Toni finally broke the silence when she walked up to him, "Is what he said true? Are you a murderer?" She asked desperately.

"I didn't want anyone to find out, it was one person, it was a mistake."

"No, the mistake was trusting you." She bitterly replied.

Jeff couldn't believe it, the transformation to a monster, a transformation he tried so hard to slow down, was now in full throttle. All Jeff could do was slink back into the far dark corner and disappear. Where he went? Not even Jeff knew…

Author's Note: Awesome, a longer chapter, and hopefully a few reviews. This isn't the end. Can Jeff win Toni back, or will he go back to his dark days as an Anti-Christ?
