Chapter 6: Family Feud

I sat quietly in the passenger seat as Cyborg drove us to the city, it was only us in the car. Out of the corner of my eye I noticed that every so often he would glance in my direction, but he never said anything. As we got closer to the plume of smoke the damage got worse and worse, and it was all my fault, "It's not your fault." Cyborg said, not taking his eyes off of the road,

"I should have just ran away with my sister before any of this happened." I muttered,

"There was no way you could have told that your dad and sister were going to come after you." He said,

"I feel like it's common sense." He pulled to a stop at a pile of rubble that was right in front us, a pile that used to be a building. I got out of the car and ran up to the pile, "He can't be far-"

"Look out!" Cyborg exclaimed.

I turned just in time to dodge a car that came flying at me, I got up and saw a figure emerging from the flames, a girl with blonde hair and reddish orange eyes. She looked no more than 12 or 13 years old and she had a smirk on her face, "Lily, what are you doing here?" I asked as she kept advancing towards Cyborg and I,

"You think that dad and I would miss your sixteenth birthday?" She kept smirking.

I was shocked, I was so wrapped up in the situation that I had forgotten my birthday. I stepped back, "I hardly think that that is why you and father came to find me."

"You're right, it's not." She shot fire at Cyborg.

I used my water powers to block it, "Leave my friends alone, this is between us and us only."

"I would, but dad ordered that I don't hurt you, he said nothing about your friends."

I growled, "If you want my friends, then you're going to have to go through me!" I used a vine and wrapped it around her waist, lifting her up in the air. I was about to slam her to the ground,

"Rosie... What about your promise to mom? The promise to protect me? Does that mean nothing to you?" I stopped. She was right, I did make a promise to mom... a promise that I've already broken once, "I know it meant nothing to you, you left me alone in that lab to die! As long as you were safe that was all that mattered right? You are selfish, only thinking about your personal gain... You're just like dad."

I wanted to use the vine to squeeze the life out of her and shut her up, but I didn't, I couldn't, she was my sister, and I still cared for her even if she didn't care about me. I fell to my knees, tears streamed down my face, the vine around Lily loosened, and she fell to the ground, "I am nothing like him." I muttered,

"What a shame, I've known that since you were young you were just like your mother." A man's voice said,

"I would rather be kind and sweet like mom than be a wretched monster and a horrible father like you!" I yelled at him.

Lily stood by him, "Rosalina, join us, you could gain so much if you just come back home." He reached out his hand to me,

"Don't call me Rosalina, that's not who I am, not anymore, and I will never join you because this is my home now."

He gave me a death glare, "So be it, then I hope you have enjoyed your last birthday alive." He pressed a button on his watch.

The ground started rumbling, "Rose... What's happening?" Cyborg asked,

"I-I don't know!" I said. The road started splitting open and through the crack fire monsters emerged, but they were just the beginning. Monsters formed everywhere and were made from everything, fire, water, stone, mud, dirt, electricity, and plants.

We were surrounded, "Sorry we couldn't come to terms. Army, attack!" He shouted.

The monsters let out a deafening roar, "Guys, where are you?" I heard Cyborg ask,

"There's been a roadblock, we're kind of busy." Beast Boy said,

"We could use some help!" I exclaimed as a plant monster grabbed me with a vine. I used my powers to break the vine, I looked at the pieces of broken vine on the ground, then got an idea, "Wait a minute..." If I could control water and plants, then maybe I can turn the monsters on my side. I took a deep breath then stuck my arm out toward a plant monster and a water monster,

"Rose, what are you doing?" Cyborg asked, I didn't answer because I had to focus. My muscles tensed as my powers took control of all of the water and plant monsters, I faced towards the other monsters, "Attack!" I demanded. The monsters turned on each other, water monsters doused the fire ones, plant monsters were attacking the earth and mud monsters, but still there were too many out of my control. I turned to Cyborg and Raven who had shown up to help us, "Can you guys handle this?" I asked,

"Yeah, but what are you going to do?" Cyborg asked,

"I'm going after my father." I said and ran to find him.

I followed the path of destruction to an abandoned building, I climbed up to the roof of the building to get a better view. My father was on the rooftop alone, Lily was gone, he seemed to be laughing to himself, the same way he always did when I would come downstairs in the morning and he was in the basement. I growled and jumped off of my building to kick him down, but somehow he anticipated my attack and grabbed my ankle, slamming me to the ground, "It's too bad you never introduced me to your friends, they seemed real nice."

"Leave my friends alone!" I kicked him in the face. He stumbled back as I got up and went to grab him with a vine, he blocked it with a force field then used vines of his own to grab me.

I was shocked, "Did you think that I only used my experiment on you and Lily?" He threw me in the air. While I was in the air he grabbed me with a vine again and pulled me back to the rooftop, the force was enough to knock the wind out of me. He laughed and approached me, I didn't get it, why was I having such a hard time fighting back?

I growled and used my water powers to blast him back onto the building I was on before. He landed with a crash, I got up and used my powers to get me to that rooftop. My father was lying in an unmoving heap, but I knew better than to think he was unconscious or dead, "Get up... You coward..." I said, and stumbled forward.

He laughed and got up, "Rosalina, you don't sound so good, and you definitely don't look like you have it in you to fight anymore."

"I have enough in me to defeat you." Vines started wrapping around him, catching him off guard.

He gasped in surprise but then broke free, "I am stronger and you are insignificant." I growled and ran towards him, punching him in the face, he kicked me back, I blocked it with a vine and pulled him down by the ankle then slammed him to the ground. He growled, "Enough!" He used some sort of energy power to blast me back. I hit the wall, "I will kill you, and your friends, and this world will be mine."

"You're forgetting one minor detail, we'll stop you before that happens." I ran towards him and went to punch him, but he grabbed my fist. At first I thought that he punched me really hard in the stomach, but when I looked down I saw that he had stabbed me with a knife,

"Who will stop me now? Tell your friends that you've been killed by the same hand that killed your mother, and they're next." He said, pulling the knife out and kicking me off of the building. I was falling, still shocked at what happened, I could feel a burning around the wound, like I was on fire.

Before I could splat on the ground someone caught me, "Robin?"

"Rose, we have to get you back to the tower." He sounded panicked,

"No... my father..."

"That will have to wait." We landed by the others, "We have to get her back now!" Robin ordered, "Get in the car." Everyone retreated and we got in the car, minus Raven, Starfire, and Beast Boy.

I was in pain, but I still felt fine, "Robin, I'm fine... We have to stop my father." I was lying across his and Jericho's lap, which Jericho gave me a look, "Don't give me that look..."

"Rose you're not fine."

We got to the island that the tower was on, Robin carried me out of the car, the pain suddenly intensified greatly, the same way it did when I gained my powers. I screamed loudly, making everyone cover their ears, "STOP!"

Robin stopped and knelt down, laying me on his lap, "Cyborg! What's happening?"

"She's been poisoned, but it's something not recognized by my system... There may not be a cure for it."

I started shaking in pain, "Stop! Make it stop!" I cried, everyone looked sad, knowing they couldn't make it stop. The poison must have been my father's own creation, and there probably was no cure for it... I surely was going to die. My skin was turning a pale color, paler than normal, "R...Robin..." I said shakily,

"What is it Rose?"

"I... I am sorry... I should have stopped them..."

"Rose, you didn't know, it's not your fault." He hugged me closer, I winced, but cried. Tears stained his uniform, Robin was like the brother I never had... I was thankful for the Titans, they were the family I've been wanting for the past nine years. My vision was fading, "Guys... Thank you... For being the family I've always wanted... I couldn't have asked for anything more." I smiled and closed my eyes.
