Chapter 19: Flight Plan - Rinse and Repeat -Slash Back

All movie titles. It fits, and this is intense, so…here we go!

Slade had pin pointed a small, miniscule red blinking light on his computer; the one connected to another project he'd put to good use. As he'd said before; as the man leaped from his hotel suite to check out for the next city, there was another chip.
In his apprentices.
Terra would have to wake up and beg for an explanation, not before she apologized for her treasonous actions.
Dick would be doing the same, but with interest.
He was after all, Slade' favorite watch dog.
Now, being watched from a satellite feed going directly to his hand-held devices.
"You can run, yet I will find you…don't move a muscle, Renegade."
Slade clicked down on one link as it was charged up, a screen of an airport field up in smoke. Lasers on either side.
Runaways…

Raven's mind fizzled. She shook her head as Beast boy's eyes gave her nausea just seeing what that mess had done.
"She…. she took off, but not because she wanted to…I didn't know. He was always after her. Why, Rae?" Bb's eyes broke out with tears for one so determined to do the right thing.
"We just have to keep looking." Raven told her dear friend. "They aren't far. My powers are seeing a block, so they are in the city…. they –
"How do you even know??" He cried out. "How?? You were thinking that she did…. Terra got hurt a long time ago, and now we wanted to help – you just…. I'm going to search –
"Beast boy!" Starfire saw as Gar turned into a snake and slithered off.
"Is he still…. upset about Terra's recapture?" The princess was also losing her courage to say it. Raven nodded softly. "Even he can't take on Slade and Ravager by himself, Starfire. I'm going after Beast boy; look after the tower."
"Must you try to put –
"We're not letting her go again." Raven said over her shoulders. "Robin also, we won't let Slade stop the Titans. I'll update you on any leads." She left through sliding doors, leaving Kori in the main room all by her lonesome self.

"Princess…can we reconsider –
"No thanks….!" Hissed Rose as one of her smaller blades took the glass.
It did not burst to pieces, yet the foundation did make X jump as if it WOULD.
"This is punishment! I'm out! You are seriously, Joker style loopy! Stop!"
"Don't be a baby." Frowned the merc's daughter with a hand to her hip, before she finished pausing and drove it into a new spot – between the door and lock.
"It's like an axe – murder, in here! Stop it, Freddy!!" X yelled with his chest pounding.
"I said you'd probably win. It's been twenty! Seconds!!"
" Gah!" X fell with his cuffs now scraping his tender wrists. "You…have some nerve….drop the –
" Haa!"
X nervously chuckled from the anxiety siting in his last space of life, before…
He blurted out. "I'm getting a rush just from the show alone...Heh…are you sure you can't..."
"Sing!"
The base of the glass.
For!"
The side by the switch.
" Me!"
"For god's sake…don't…you make it look like a stupid yandere thing!" Panted X.
" Ohh…. looks like fifteen seconds left." Rose shook her head with a frown and knitted brows.
"Don't." X put out a palm to halt her.
"You, dare !"

Terra was cuffed and tied down to a chair meant for metas. She screamed and tried to activate her powers, yet a screen in front of her eyes in the dark light, flickered on to reveal his masked face.
~ You gave us quite a start, Terra. ~
"Slade…. let me go!" She growled at the face. "I'm not your attack dog anymore! I belong with my real friends."
Slade just studied the child with a humm.
~ Mmm. No. I don't think that I will, my dear. I can take it away; that confidence, the security you've always craved as an individual. You made me forget my real plan with you was to create a better weapon ~
"No! I won't hurt them! Stop! Let –
~ Now however, you're far from that my dear…~ Slade shook his head as Terra's, blonde hair fell into her eyes.
"Wh – what do you mean? I'm not your property! I don't deserve to –
~ You chose to fight. To get control, though you are incapable of using that impressive power properly. ~ There was a raw hint in Slade's voice that spoke of dastardly matters. Terra felt her frame starting to tremble. Icy cold swept over her unclad feet.
"You…you're kidding…this isn't what you said. You said I could….never mind….Raven showed me what you did to Robin. He tried to stop me from making a big mistake."
~ And yet, you trusted no one else after the separation. You could have been better on your own, but now Terra? ~ Slade brought his wrist up into view.
~ Get a real taste of your new life, as my flawless little weapon . ~
A click, and her limbs moved.
"No….what??...Annh!!"
The fire was electrically charged to pull he from her rebellion.
~ That's not all. It's really the perfect shock collar. Meant for two…~
She gasped, tears falling. "He…no! You can't! He's not the one! I did this! Please…. let….us…go –
~ He escaped me. Didn't you watch the news, my child? ~ Slade chuckled rather darkly in her ear. The sounds enough to torment.
Sizzle.
Crackle.
Sob.
~ Ravager; my own daughter is flawed in her own way, yet she takes her orders. And her punishments. Just. As Robin must commit to his oath to protect those heroes from me…. So? This will be your rebirth all over, Terra. ~
She shook her head, body not responding as he nodded.
~ I'll make you see reason and listen to only my orders this time. ~ Slade decreed, as Terra let rip a terrific scream from her electrocuted lungs.
She gave her body a tug, but no.
It wasn't going to get any better. She was just as unfortunate as anyone who dared to cross Death and lived to tell…
"Yes…."
Slade looked on as Terra swallowed.
She'd bring him down.
"Master Slade. I under –
" Haa!!"
~ Not the procedure I have in mind. ~ Slade smirked. ~ You have to go through a proper rinse to have my respect again, Terra. ~
She shouted and had only her lips to speak, the rest of her was a rag doll until…. until.
" PLEASE!! I'M JUST A KID !! YOU CAN'T!! BEASTBOY! SUPERMAN! SOMEONE !!!!"
He just laughed at her petty fears, blue eyes to one slate - grey eye.
Every flutter of her soul was snuffed out. he had to rework his semi -precious marvel into something, timeless…
Her trembling did not sway the man. She deserved this for what she had done.
Even his boy wonder would not escape this time, any time since he'd sworn himself under an unbreakable oath.
~ I'll be coming to pick up the pieces very soon. Stay put, and you may have your chance to say goodbye, to your former friends…~
Lights out, Terra wept inside the dark recesses of her torn mind.
It was never easy. It was also, never this painful to bare as she plotted within the confines of her pain.
And tried to reach out to one more "friend" on the outside before her body became to limp and soft to keep going.
"Ra…. ven…."

Bruce was beating down Slade bots left and right near the terminal.
Concreate was no issue as Dick dove behind a plane's wheel to keep from view.
He saw that a flight would be taking off soon. That was…
To Gotham. And Bruce wasn't going as strongly as he'd hoped….The bots had weapons.
Dick's stomach did a back flip as one bot socked his old mentor in the gut.
"No!"
"Dick….run….away….."
His lip was bleeding as the bat used freeze discs to limit the assassin – bots' movements.
"Go! Head for safety! Get out!!"
The bots used a weapon to chisel free. With heat.
The face of their fight, exploded in fire as Dick took of right before the minor explosion. Bruce was fine.
He'd ace this, he had to!
Dick ducked through the doors of a plane that was getting ready to lift off, had he only double checked his seat.
There were bots. Guessing how many?
On for at least two rows.
With weapons pulled onto the first victims they could grab.
A business dressed male as of age thirty, and a little girl with olive skin and big crying eyes.
The air marshal was already conked out.
How had…Was this a pre – positioned move?? How did they have that intel so quickly??
"We're all gonna die!!" The first person to say it was not the captain as Dick felt something brush by him.
A star as he fell back onto the floor of the aisle. He crawled them scurried to the captain's room.
"Hey! You have a hostage situation on this thing!! Call for help, now!"
"How'd a kid get in here?? I'm getting securi –
"The air marshal…." Dick panted, shaking the man's shoulders as his temper almost flared in the heat of this moment…" They got him…Call. Help. NOW !"
/
"Have him escorted –
" No!"
Dick lashed out, a strong elbow hitting the man as he was knocked out cold.
Slade…had taught him…more of…that?
Dick gasped. "I…I didn't –
The second pilot wagged the finger, rolling up his sleeves.
"You are not –
"No way! We have to stop the plane!" Dick protested. "Don't take –
A loud Banging* at the door had Dick rush for the controls and send yet another pilot into the same heap by his feet.
As if they'd been axed.
"Way to get yourself put away for anarchy and treason, boy blunder." Dick scowled and ignored the pounding in his head, as he used all of his piloting experience to start up the jet. "They won't be here…. I won't let Slade win! I'm still him…!"
/
Batman looked up and saw the plane in the terminal was a bit, bumpy to the start. He was able to knock down more bots as he disabled their programming, yet the thing that made him aware more than anything...
He set his mask to seeker mode and saw through the tinted glass of the pilot's seat….
No…
"Dick!" Bruce gasped and threw the last bot into the rubble. He rushed to find his jet.
"Alfred. Get down to the bat cave and monitor, no. Trace the arrival time of a plane leaving for Gotham from the Steel City terminal. We have a lock on Dick and he needs my help."
/
A death flight as people screamed, while the bots were sent hurtling without their seat belts on. It was working, yet Dick would have them careening at this rate. He tried to fix the problem, yet the city was a few –
"Mayday! We have a plane off course and need assistance on the ground, do you read me!?? Hello??? We have an S.O.S situation! I need someone to pick –
~This is –
"I'm currently flying a plane headed to Gotham City, sir. It was hijacked by assassins and I'm not going to be able to land at this speed they have us going. The passengers are scared, I need assistance now!"
~ Calm down and listen; there is –
Dick did as the staff had instructed, but his heart wouldn't quit. As if he had no control. His vison had started to…
No…. altitude…. sickness?? He never got that!
~ You need to finish! ~
"I'm trying…. sick…. up too high…how –
~ Lower it quickly! ~ The person on the other line had to ignore this kid's rants. He sounded ill. As if something was going to happen.
~ We're sending a unit to –
"No…. not, enough time…Eject…. need to land –
~ Don't give up on those passengers! Do you hear me?! You are not to abandon –
~That's right, you can't save everyone. Not being as you are. ~
Dick gasped.
That, what…was that…
He blinked, rubbing his tired-out eyes and finding a mint in the glove box where the pilot once had sat.
He had to land it, shaking in his grip the mint found his dry lips. Even if it never got to its final destination, even if he failed all of these people...
"I'm not letting myself fail…Not again."
Dick dove and kept to the process. The person in his ear was not as loud as the voice in his head telling him.
Find it, then the emergency lights would go on.
Then, he'd flee the raging bots before they caught on again.
/
So, I don't know many terms to play with and this…is a bit rushed. It has to be! Slade is playing a really bad role by having his bots kill anything that moves! Rose is not letting X go, she likes the company? Or does she have other plans in store?
Starfire is left out and Terra is left a shell of herself to build back up.
Slade revealed the chip, and Dick felt the nausea from someone trying to stop him from doing the right thing. The bots found him because of it, and Batman didn't get his wish to see his son safe and sound.
Where will Dick's plane land?? Will the voice reveal itself?? Find out!

Starfire was inevitably down in the dumps as Cyborg walk in to the main room; her heavy head a burden even to this, older big – brother figure.
He'd lost family, so Cy had a plan pop up as he grabbed the remote to switch it on –
"There is no need to do –
"It's cool. I think your favorite show's…. about….to…"
He dropped the control and saw how much of a short period, how many days.
Since this; a news story out of Steel's one airport.
"Call the others."
"But."
"Star, this is serious." Cy directly let her know with eyes as determined to find the criminal who'd pushed for a massacre.
Yet the two left the tv on, the captions in bold read of a fresh news leek.
A terrible event in their young histories…
~A serious, attempted murder was attempted on board a late-night flight from Steel City to Gotham; midnight ride or die. That, or crash land into the middle of the city, Audrey? Our condolences go out to the victims and their loved ones. Our news team is on the scene to bring you the latest coverage. The state authorities are tirelessly searching for anyone connected to –

And……there it is! Dick has to get to the manor so we are all tied up. Puddle of mud extension is of course, next!
