Bios
Michael Spicer
Michael Spicer is a contract assassin with a past consisting entirely of unknown peoples and events. No one knows anything about him or where he came from, apart from the fact that he will literally stop at nothing in order to complete his assignments...and so get his massive pay cheques.

Aside from his vicious and unforgiving nature, there is little that is exceptional about Michael. He has looks so ordinary that it would be hard to point him out even in an identity parade, and he has no significant superpowers with which to take down his targets. However, years of constant training have given him unequalled skill in assassin-craft, and in those rare occasions when he is forced to fight he can still get the better of most opponents.

He may be just a human being, but Michael is still not a man to be messed with…

Bushido
Alias:Ryuko Orsono

Samurai, it is a name that evokes the imagination of the western mind. These noble warriors held the tradition of Japan paramount to their ideals. They were a great power in the long forgotten times of Japan, but as time went on stronger weapons were crafted and the military might of the Bushi or Samurai was no longer needed. They gracefully stepped into the shadows to cease from existence.

But there were some that didn’t give up. Bushido, the ancient warrior’s code of the samurai, was the name for a sect of vigilantes who protected Japan into its more modern days. Ryuko Orsono, the latest of the Bushido has dedicated his life to protecting all of Japan’s citizens. The weapons he uses are of traditional Japanese origins.

He is a reluctant killer but a killer either way. He does all he can to protect his people, by whatever means possible. He prides his honor, valor and righteousness above all other things. He moves with stealth through the slums of Tokyo, to the secluded forests. He is known as no more than a rumor to his people. But has seceretly taken down crime lords to demons, all without being noticed.

3:27 AM

IC: Slade





Pacing around my base, I glared at the clock. 3:27 AM. I hadn't slept in days. There are too many thoughts going through my head. Glaring at my wrist, I pressed the button on it. 5 TV monitors flickered to life. Each of them revealing one of the Teen Titans. Just seeing them made me tense in pure and unmerciful hatred. The Titans all went into battle positions and charged, each of them taking out 3 or more of my Sentinels. The Titan's had no trouble obliterating my henchmen.



I need something more. Something that can take them down with no problems whatsoever, someone who will obey me, someone I can actually call my true apprentice. Someday, I will destroy the Teen Titans. I will watch them all fall one by one. I will see them die.



These thoughts swirled through my head as I took a seat on a chair nearby, and dozed off into a deep sleep.

IC: Blackfire



Location: Prison on the Third moon of Dantari

3:57 AM (by Earth reckoning)



I stare across the prison cell at my cellmate, a Dantarian convict. He stares blankly back at me for a moment, and then makes a positively disgusting noise and regurgitates a small quantity of green something on the prison floor. I really need to make sure that next time I get transferred to another prison, it’s not on Dantari. I hate this place. If I ever get out, little Koriand’r is going to pay, and pay big. I stick my tongue out at a guard as he walks past. He gives me a funny look, but other than that does nothing. I roll my eyes at him and look at the door. If only it (and the bars) weren’t electric barbed wire. Oh, and did I mention that the door was as thick as that Beast Boy’s head? Electric barbed wire. How original. I hear voices echoing down the hall, and pause to listen.


“What about that Tamaranian girl?”

“They’re takin’ her in for the experiments; see what kinda genes give those Tamaranian nuts their little ‘bolts.’”

“But I thought that experiment was the one that killed the last four-”

“Shiddap. It is, but nobody else is gonna know that, ‘kay? They’re doing it tonight, so keep your trap shut.”

I feel my heart stop for a moment. Kill me? No half-witted Dantarian son of a zarbnarf is going to kill me. I hear the voices again:

“We’d better go get her now, huh?”
“Yep.”

Footsteps start down the hall, coming toward my cell. I stand up and grab the bars, feeling the jolt course through my body, but I don’t care. I am sick of always being the one who gets the fuzzy end of the lollipop, as they say on Earth. I should have been the princess, not little Kori the idiot. If my plans had worked, she would be the one with the guards coming for her right now. I wrench the door off its hinges, feeling the barbs dig into my skin, and hurl it at the guards. I miss, but at least now I’m free. I feel the energy build at my fingertips.
Thrusting my left hand forward, I shoot a blackbolt at one of the guards. It hits him full in the face, pushing him into his partner. I punch the air in silent victory while rising into the starless sky.


Time Change: 5:52 AM



Freedom. Oh, how I’ve missed it, I realize. Cooped up in prisons all over the galaxy, I’ve forgotten the taste of fresh air. Earth air. This thought sparks my anger once again. I would have tasted this air so much sooner if it hadn’t been for little Koriand’r. Breaking out of prison was so easy it was slightly pathetic. I put on a burst of speed. There’s only one place for me right now. Only one place that I can get revenge.
Look out, little Starfire, I think, and enjoy the rest of your short life. Titan’s Tower isn’t far from where I am right now, and when I get there, it won’t be pretty.

[rrarbecy]

(In Character) Raven:

I wonder if it's possible to get a good night's sleep with Beast Boy in the building. I stalk down the hallway leading from my room to the living room, mumbling about the yell that had woken me. I hadn't even had time to meditate before giving in to the strong urge to give Beast Boy a good kick in the rear end.

The metal door "swishes" open as I approach and I walk into the living room. I could have known. GameStation. Beast Boy and Cyborg sat on the couch, playing the GameStation (quite noisily, I might add). Beast Boy let out another loud yell as Cyborg defeated him in a robo-battle.

"Beast Boy," I whisper menacingly. He jumps out of his seat, turning to face me. I smile to myself slightly, seeing him cringe at my peircing stare.

"Um, yeah," he asks sheepishly.

"Stop. Yelling." I turn grumpily toward the kitchen to get my herbal tea.

"Why are you so grumpy this morning?" asked Beast Boy irritably.

I ignore him and begin to prepare my tea. The truth is, I don't know why I'm especially grumpy today. Could it be the fact that I didn't get a good night sleep, or is it that feeling of foreboding tugging at the back of my mind?

IC: Terra
Time: 9:37 a.m

'Gosh, why won't these people leave me alone? Well... I guess I know...' I think as I turn onto yet another street. But theres something different about this street. Its darker and gloomier than all the others. I lean up against a dusty, old building and slowly slink down until I'm sitting down.

I put my head in my hands and think about all the horrible things that I have done.

"You know what," I say after a long while as i stand up, "I don't regret a thing that I did. I had more power as Slade's apprentice than I ever had with those stupid Titans!"

I hear something moving down the alley across the street from me. I run across the street and down the alleyway. I look around as I reach the end and see nothing. So, I pull a peice of the already cracked cement out of the alley's floor and fly over the wall, jump off and run after the black mass that had been eavesdropping on me. It fades into the ground of a busy street and I know what will happen if the city people see me. The immature ones will try to beat the hound out of me.

So, i head back to the dark and seemingly vancant road I was at earlier and sit down on a crate, it breaking under my weight. I think about all the things that slade taught me and as all the thoughts progress... I realize that i want to go back.

"Why did I ever leave? I'm such an idiot!" I scream as I make yet another empty crater in the cement as I fly away on a huge peice of earth to find my former Master, Slade.

[raven54]

Cyborg:

I sit on the couch, controller in hand. My thumbs fly over the various buttons and joysticks. I lean forward a little in anticipation- I had BB cold, I could feel it. He threw one last punch at me but I was expecting it. I grab the outstreched arm and use it for leverage as I smash BB's 'bot into the ground. K.O'd flashes across the screen Beast Boy yells in exasperation as I grin, my ego boosted.

"Beast Boy..." Raven's voice whispers menacingly behind us. She isn't talking to me, but her tone still makes me decidedly nervous. Beast Boy gulps and spins around, green skin paling slightly.

"Umm... yeah?" he asks sheepishly


"Stop. Yelling." she says pointedly as she turns grumpily into the kitchen, probably to make that nasty tea.

"Why are you so grumpy this morning?" asked BeastBoy irritably. I give him a look that shouts "Don't push her" quite clearly. He takes my unspoken advice and adds nothing more to that statement. Beast Boy leans down to grab his controller for another round. "Uhhh... actually, BB, I'm kinda hungry. Let's finish this later," I spit out hastily. If we start playing again while she's in this mood, Raven might accidentally-on-purpose blow up the Gamestation or something.

I walk over to the fridge, sidestepping around Raven. I open it and search through it for anything NOT vegan, but come up empty. BB must've found that hidded cache of real eggs, I think to myself in annoyance. Unless...

I run back up to my room, breezing by Starfire and Robin who are on their way to the living room. "'Scuse me, Star 'n Robin," I say rapidly as I sprint up the stairs. I skid into my room and open one of the many steel cuboards- only this isn't a cuboard; it's a mini-fridge. I move a wall of strategically-placed cans of soda and grab my emergency stash of bacon. I grin gleefully, then run back downstairs. I skid back into the kitchen and grab a frying pan and a spatula off the counter. BeastBoy, seeing what I'm unwrapping, makes a face.

"Gross... I thought I chucked all that crap," he says, attempting to snatch it out of my hands. I dodge, then grab him by the nape of his purple and black jumpsuit.

"No one comes between a man and his bacon, especially not you and your tofu," I say triumphantly, dropping him as soon as my bacon is safe. I finally manage to get the shrinkwrap off it, peeling off as many slices of meaty goodness as I can fit in my pan. The sound and smell of sizzling bacon soon fill the air. My mouth starts to water, but BB gets greener and greener. Finally, he can't take it anymore- he runs for the relative safety of his room. I chuckle a bit, then, seeing that it's done, smoothly shovel the pieces onto a plate.

"Hey, Cyborg- can I have few?" Robin asks me. I hand him a few pieces to munch on, then sit, ready to stuff my face. I am about to take my first bite of a tofu-free breakfast when-

BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP

The crime alert siren blares, all lights in the Tower flashing red.

"Titans, trouble!" Robin shouts and makes for the door, closely followed by Raven and Starfire. The door whooshes open as BeastBoy bursts out, wrinkling his nose at the still-present smell of bacon. Robin turns to go, then turns back, probably realizing that I'm not there. The rest of the Titans look at me.

"Tell them I'll be happy to kick their butts- AFTER I'm done with my bacon," I say, staring longingly at my treat. Their glares intensify as I sit there for another second, then I sigh and get up. They head for my baby as I follow close behind, munching on a piece of bacon. Why didn't villains ever wait until AFTER breakfast?

**********
OOC- Yeah, I know, a bit long. Eh. I'm gonna be gone for most of Winter Break, so feel free to ad-lib Cy while I'm gone.

(OOC: I was told you must say what time it isin the RPG, if I'm wrong sorry, but it'd help. Cause I don't want to say 10:27 and Raven54 say her thing was at 11. Catch my point? I'm just gonna say a time)



10:12 AM

IC: Slade



After my first good rest in four days, I jerk awake. My gaze focuses, and I recognize the area around me. I had fallen asleep in the control room. I had left the TV monitors all night. They were still flickering of different pictures. Cars passing by, people walking down the street, nothing abnormal. Then I saw her. It was Terra. My fists clenched in anger.



She's alive. Prepostorous. I don't know how she came back to life, but I sure as hell know how she's dying.



My thumb pressed a button on my chair, and the door opened before me. A small group of my sentinels, about 15 of them are visible. I dash into my weaponry room. I grab 3 exploding disks, my staff, and most importantly my mask. The one thing that has hidden me from the world for so many years. Slipping on my mask, and grabbing my staff, my sentinels and I dashed out the door to find that little traitor.

[TerraWHRobin4]

IC: Terra

10:46 a.m

I land in front of a place that looked like a good place for Slade to call his base. I go up to the door and see if there is anyway to open it. 'I know Slade isn't going to welcome me... In fact he probably hates me,' I think as I walk around the base. Nothing. No openings... Nothing.

I punch the ground in frustration as what seems like towers come up out of the ground, smashing into the wall of the base. I step inside and look around. I notice monitors on the wall and look at each one. Each screen had a different Titan on it. Looking at them makes my blood boil. I look up and see that there are security cameras everywhere. I look at one directly and say, "Look Slade... You'll probably look at this later, but... I'm sorry. I never should ahve betrayed you and I'm an idiot for doing so. I had the most power I've ever had with you and if you're willing I'd like to help you once again.

"This time... I have no feelings for any of the Titans, and I swear that. I promise that this time I will put everything on the line and follow your every command. So please... Just think about that... Until then, I'll be waiting."

I run out of the base and fly back to the vacant street in the city. I go into a empty shop with dust and cobwebs everywhere, 'Ick...' I think as I pull the boards on the windows off. I looked out across the water to Titans tower. 'It's only a matter of time before I face them again. And when I do I'll be ready... To pound them.'

I lay down on the floor and fall asleep... Even though it's morning... I'm exausted... I don't know why. Probably the fact that my heart is beating really fast, thinking about how easily Slade could kill me if he wanted. Hopefully he'll get my message...

[T.T.Raven4]

IC: Slade

1:43 PM



There is no sign of Terra anywhere. I just can't seem to find her. I curse under my breath as I walk back to my base. When I arrive I see the door has been opened. Someone was here. I run as fast as I can inside to see that everything is normal. Nothing seems out of place. I press a button on my wristband and one of the scenes flickers to my security cameras. After about a minute, a blonde girl walks in. Terra. Then, she spoke





"Look Slade... You'll probably look at this later, but... I'm sorry. I never should have betrayed you and I'm an idiot for doing so. I had the most power I've ever had with you and if you're willing I'd like to help you once again.

"This time... I have no feelings for any of the Titans, and I swear that. I promise that this time I will put everything on the line and follow your every command. So please... Just think about.



At this, I smirked under my mask. I don't trust that little traitor at all, but maybe she could prove useful. I decide that it could be helpful, and I set off.



3:11 PM



I find an old abandoned shop. For some reason my instincts tell me to check. I step into the building. It is very dark; only lit by the sunlight outside. As I step forward, a spider hangs down from its web, and seems to glare at me. I ignore the pathetic distraction. I walk deeper into the building, and then I hear noises. Breathing. I look on the floor behind a desk and find none other than Terra. I smirk as I kneel before her. My hand clutches her neck.



"You're coming with me."

[TerraWHRobin4]

IC: Terra

3:11 p.m

"You're coming with me," said that deep cold voice as Slade grasps my neck.

I look straight into his eye and don't protest. All I want to do is prove that I want to be on his side. Prove to him that I'm worth his time. That I'm going to do 100x better than I did last time.

As if he could read my mind he said, "I know what you want to prove Terra. I don't trust you at all. But you could prove useful."

'Crap. I'll have to do everything in my power to prove to Slade how faithful I am,' I think as he takes me back to the base.

Once we get there, he throws me on the ground. Something I'm very used to from when I was his apprentice. The best times of my life and I betrayed him. How stupid could I get?

"So you seek once again to destroy the Titans?" Slade says as he stands in front of the monitors.

I nod and say, "I know you don't trust me, but I'm willing to do whatever it takes to prove my faithfulness to you. Just name it and I'll do it."

Slade stands there then turns to me. Not saying a word...

[T.T.Raven4]

IOOC: Jst to say, you DO have permission to use my character like that if you do it good like TWHR did.)

IC: Slade
3:24 (Since it had to have taken a little time to get back to the base)

"So you want to join me again?" I say. "How do I know you won't run away like the filthy traitor you were before.

I slam my fist into her head, sending her on the ground. I grab her by her shirt, and hold her up in the air.

"You will bring the Tamaranian girl they call Blackfire to me." I say. "Or you will suffer dire consequences."

(OOC: Just to say, we may want to wait for a little bit just so we don't leave everyone in the dust)

[Raven37]

(I just wanted to give some ...credit to T.T.Raven4 for giving me this idea of how to bring my character into the RPG. Thanx CJ! Anyways, here it goes: )

IC: Jinx
5:00

Brother Blood had recently called me for a little task he needed to be completed. I was glad to do it, for I hadn't had any action in a long time. After our headquarters had been destroyed, we sort of lost touch. I hadn't seen Brother Blood in awhile and was curious of what he needed my assistance for. I guess I would find out soon enough.

I wave my hand and a bright purple portal appears in front of me. I had been practicing this for a long time now. When Mammoth, Gizmo and I had invaded Titans' Tower, I skimmed through some of Raven's old books. I knew she wouldn’t mind…well, maybe… but whose to say she’ll know? I knew reading them would benefit me someday, and today was one of those days. I didn't really feel like walking 1000 miles to the new headquarters.

I step through the portal. I come out the other side to see a man sitting on a chair in front of me. I recognize him right away.

"Hello Jinx," He spoke calmly to me.

"Hello Master." I reply back with the same serene tone. I look around the new headquarters to see no sign of Gizmo nor Mammoth.

“Is Mammoth or Gizmo coming?” I ask with a small frown.

Brother Blood motions for me to come stand in front of him. Following orders, I take my position facing him.

“I am afraid not,” He replies to me, “This task, I need only you to complete…by yourself. If I have them tag along, you may attract to much, well…attention. Plus, Gizmo had a, well… ‘accident‘ a few months ago, and we haven‘t bothered to try to locate his whereabouts.” I nod and say, “Okay, sir. What is it you need me to do?”

“There is someone I need you to find… a girl,” he says to me, “she is a Tameranian known as… Blackfire.”

I nod and ask, “Where might I look for her?”

“She is headed toward Jump City. You will find her somewhere around there.” he answers. I nod once again, “I will bring her to you. I will stop at nothing.” Brother Blood smiles sinisterly.

“Thank you, Jinx. Oh, but I must warn you. There is someone else also in search of her. Slade has an apprentice of his own who is finding her. Her name is Terra. I’m sure she will be of no threat to you, but if you come across her, defeat her. No matter what it takes,” he says with an evil grin.

“Don’t worry,” I say as my eyes glow a light shade of purple, “I will.”

[TerraWHRobin4]

(OOC: I'm Slade's apprentice???? I didnt know that!!!!! :anime:)

IC:Terra
5:36 p.m.


Finding this girl is harder than I thought. But I'm determined to find her. I have to prove myself to Slade.

I'm back in my old apprentice outfit. The black and orange symbol of Slade's resting on my chest. I run a hand over it and suddenly I see a purple flash to the right of me. I turn that way and head towards it.

Once I reach the spot I see the one whom Slade called Blackfire. He makes his points very forcefully. But I don't mind. He can punch me all he wants, but it wouldn't matter to me.

Blackfire turns to me and her eyes flash purple.

"I'm not an easy target," she says.

"You aren't a target," I say trying to make her listen to me, "I come not t fight, but if i have to," I hold up one of my hands, clenched in a fist, it glowing yellow and the ground shaking slightly, "I will."

Her eyes go back to normal. She looks like she could pounce at any second, and I'm ready for it.

"Remeber the deal Terra," Slade's voice says into my ear.

I look over at blackfire through my one eye, my other eye covered by my long blonde hair, "I come with a proposal."

"Proposal?" Blackfire says looking at me questioningly, but never gets out of battle stance.

"My master," I hear Slade laugh in my ear, but ignore it, "Has sent me to retrieve you."

"Oh? Why?" She asks.

I shake my head and say, "All I was told was to retrieve you. Nothing more."

She continues to stare at me. Then after a long while says, "I'll talk to him. Take me there."

I smile inwardly as I hear Slade say, "Good work. Good work."

I fly away with Blackfire at my side.

[ShadowOfAGhost]

OOC: I was just aproved to post, so here goes!

IC: Starfire

We are just returning from our previous battle with Mumbo. Usualy, he is not hard for us to defeat, but today we had to chase him all over the city. After we had stopped at the place of pizza, as we had not eaten all day.

As I am sitting down to rest, Robin walks over to the computer consule on the counter. I do not understand his obsession with this device, he always stares at it as if he expects it to converse with him.

"Starfire," he says, "Take a look at this."

He presses a few buttons on the board of keys and a large picture of what he sees is projected on to the large screen in front of us.
"This is not good!" I say, "Not good at all!"

Hearing me, the other titans gather near and see what is the problem. On the screen is a large picture of what I believe is called an E-Mail. It said simply that my sister had broken out of jail earlier today and she has been seen in the city.

"This is not good!" I shout again.

Robin walks over next to me.

"We have to find Blackfire before she can do any damage!" he says to us. "Raven, you search the North East corner of the city. Cyborg, you search the South East side. Beast Boy, take the North West. Starfire, take the South West corner. I'll search the center of the city. TITANS, GO!"

[Magick]

I fly through Jump City’s sky, next to this strange girl, Terra. This day is getting weird. Okay, maybe breaking out of prison wasn’t normal, but hey, a girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do. This girl says that her master sent for me. Obviously a guy. I make a mental note to get sassy when I see him. I take another look at Terra.


“So,” I say, “Your master sent for me. Who would he be?”

“His name’s Slade,” She replies, shortly. “That’s all I can tell you.”

“Anything else you can share with me? Dental records, family tree, great-aunt’s dog’s name. I’m really not picky, you know.” In my experience, it’s best to be friendly to the people who could be potential employers. She gives me a weird look, the kind you give a crazy person.

“Are you being funny?” She asks me, still looking ahead.

“Apparently not,” I reply. Boy, she’s sure hacking me off.

I’m not afraid of this Terra girl. I’m the metaphorical queen of the galaxy; she’s just some kid with a master named Slade. I bet she doesn’t know anything more than that about him. I already know that I really don’t like this girl. I consider just saying no and sauntering away, maybe telling her that I have another offer. If I did have another offer, I might actually do that, just to spite her. We land outside of an old building. It can only be the hangout of some sleazy crime lord. I’m a bit disappointed, though. With a name like Slade, I was expecting something cooler, sleeker, more like the technology in the Quardian galaxy. Nonetheless, I cock one hip and nonchalantly saunter in.

[Raven37]

(Umm… ShadowOfAGhost, you might not have known this, but you’re supposed to say what time it is in the story when you post. Please do it next time!)

IC: Jinx

5:50

I walk through the crowded streets of Jump city in search of the girl known as Blackfire. Earlier, I had seen the titans come and fight the man known as ‘Mumbo’, as I heard them call him. I had to make sure they did not see me, so I could continue my search. If they were to spot me, they would’ve been suspicious. They maybe would’ve attacked me. I had hid in an alley, waiting for the fight to be over with. Surprisingly, it took them longer than I thought it would’ve. I had been getting impatient, so I decided to brake the magician’s wand. The titans did not see me do it, but were very confused of how the wand managed to break, but just decided not to worry about it. Once the titans were done with Mumbo and left for their tower, I continued to look for this girl.

I’m not having any luck, so I decide to look around the outskirts of the town. As I walk, I see two distant figures moving about in the forest I’m walking in. I can tell they are both girls from their long h...air. I walk closer to them to see who they are. Sure enough, I could tell one was Blackfire, and the other, unfortunately, Terra. I sigh and mumble, “Great…” Now I would have to defeat Terra to get to Blackfire.

I watch as they begin to go into what looked like an entrance. I knew I had to act fast. My eyes glowed purple as I thrust my hands towards them, unleashing waves of bad luck. The waves slice through many trees as they head for the direction of the girls. All the trees fall with a loud crash. Both Black fire and Terra stare at me awestruck. I walk up to them, neither of them moving an inch.

“Hello Blackfire,” I say to her. She stares at me with confusion and says, “Who the heck are you?”

“My name is Jinx,” I reply, “and you are to come with me. My master has a proposal.”

“Oh, really?” she asks, “what kind of proposal?”

“Hey! You’re supposed to be coming we me!” Terra yells fuming with anger.

“A proposal that Slade could never even dream to think about,” I say with a wide grin on my face.

“Hmm…” Blackfire says thinking.

“No freakin’ way,” Terra says angrily raising her arms up. She fires many rocks at me. I was ready though. I raised my hands up also, firing purple waves at the rocks. The rocks adverse their direction from me, to Terra. She quickly ducks avoiding them.

Blackfire looks from Terra, to me. She gives a small grin. “Okay, I’ll come with you,” she says following me away from the entrance to Slade’s lair. I give a smile of satisfaction, and walk away with Blackfire. Terra stands up and kicks the nearest tree in anger. My grin becomes more wide from my success.

[T.T.Raven4]

5:52

I gaze out a window, and see Blackfire go with Jinx

If you want it done right, it must be done yourself.

I walk slowly down my stairwell, and grab my metallic staff. I open the doorwell, and all of them are revealed.

"Blackfire!" I yell.

The girl turns towards me.

"I know what you want." I say. "Yo want your sister destroyed, and I can help you with it. Join me, and everything, the city, the Earth, can all be yours. Do you accept?"

[TerraWHRobin4]

IC: Terra
5:53

'Great... I failed... Now Slade will never trust me... ' I think as Blackfire ponders her answer.

Thanks to the nueral interface of my suit, Slade knew every little thing that crossed my mind. This suit was more advanced than the last one. I hold back the urge to fire a rock at Jinx to make her leave when I see Slade nod at me.

I smirk as i do just that, only I make it secretive. I pull it up from behind her and hit her in the back of the head. She faints and i catch her with the rock. I didn't want the idiot to ruin our plans. I put her down and the rock fuses back with the ground.

I could tell that Slade was smirking also as Blackfire opened her mouth to answer...

[T.T.Raven4]

IC: Slade
5:53


I walk up to Terra and place my hand on her shoulder.

"Excellent job my apprentice." I say.

I roll Jinx over with my foot, and see her unconsciouss.

"Pathetic." I say. "Obviously one of Brother Bloods."

I watch as Blackfire ponders. I know she will accept. Either that, or she dies. She'd be smart to accept my hand. I look at Terra.

"Take Jinx in, lock her up to the Nega-Chamber." I told Terra. "It will negate her powers so she cannot escape. She will be ours now."

Well, isn’t this nice. I’ve got two crime lords fighting over little old me. I consider Slade’s offer. On one hand, I can go with him, have everything I ever wanted, and maybe even prove that I’m better than Terra, the pathetic geo-girl.


On the other hand, I can end up like Jinx. I look down at her and shiver. Something tells me that I don’t want to know what’ll happen to her in the long run. I look at Terra, who is disgustingly pleased with herself about her little rock trick. I turn my gaze to Slade. Bad idea. There is no emotion in him that I can see, only a cold, calculating exterior. I gulp. Why is my throat so dry all of a sudden?


“Well, Slade,” I say, keeping my voice calm. I hold out my hand. “I believe you have yourself a girl.”


What he doesn’t know is that I’m making a mental note of where they’re taking Jinx. I still want to hear her offer.

[T.T.Raven4]

IC: Slade
5:54

I smirk under my mask. the Tamaranian is mine. I can see in her eyes that if Blood makes a good enough bargain, she'll betray me immediatley. I can't let that happen.

Blood will probably send reinforcements to help out this pathetic girl. I think looking at Jinx.

"What did you come here for child?" I ask Blackfire. "What is your purpose on Earth?"

[Magick]

IC: Blackfire
5:54

Slade gets many points, I decide, as a supervillain. He’s been in this business for a long time, I can tell.


"Purpose is a bit of a strong word, don't you think?” I say, in response to his question,
“If you mean what am I here for, I’ve come to get rid of a certain roadblock named Koriand’r. You know her better as Starfire, I believe.” Slade nods, and I continue,
“Once I’m done with that, I need a job. Something worth my while. Before you ask, I’m not going to be anybody’s Barbie doll. You have her for that.” I wave my hand in Terra’s general direction. “Impose your fashion faux pas on her. You can make her do anything you want, but not me.” Terra stamps her foot.

“Hey!” She says indignantly, but I ignore her. Slade still says nothing.

“Anyway,” I say, “Why did you want me of all people, and what exactly is this offer?”

[T.T.Raven4]

IC: Slade
5:55

"You're power hungry." I say. "I can see it in your eyes. I know who you were. You were ruler of Tamaran until your sister and her pathetic friends ruined your plans. I can give you power."

I place my hand into my pocket, and pull it back out. A small black gem was revealed in my hand. It was cut neatly, and placed inside of a gold holder.

"This is the gem of Mekki-Marri." I say. "You once captured the jewel of Charta. It gave you powers beyond reasoning, but this can give you 10 times more than what that did. With this, you can destroy the Titan's, especially your sister. This will give you the power to rule over anything you wish to be yours."

I extend the gem towards Blackfire.

[TerraWHRobin4]

I leave Slade to negotiate with Blackfire as I take Jinx to her chamber.

I think I got off on the wrong foot with Blackfire. I mean... we may be working together, and we'll need to get along. I really don't need to add people to my enemies list.

So, I'll just wait until Slade is done, then I'll talk to her. She's definitly stronger than me, and I'm pathetic in her comparison. I'm not proud of anything I did back there... The only thing that made me happy was that Slade called me his apprentice.

I lock the chamber and turn away from her as I exit. I get back up to the control room and wait for Slade.

[Magick]

IC: Blackfire

5:55

This guy is reading me like a book. The kind with big letters and lots of pictures. I feel my hands twitch as I examine the jewel. It’s beautiful, in a dark sort of way, and I want it. I want it so badly that my head hurts. I extend my hand toward the jewel. And then I stop.

What's the catch?" I inquire.


"Smart girl," Slade replies, talking more to himself than me. "There is one thing that you need to do for me."


I still want that jewel. “What do you want me to do?” I ask. He’s probably smirking right now. He leads me into his lair, and I know, until I’ve agreed to whatever he wants, I’m not going to leave this place.

[Raven37]

IC: Jinx

5:52

“Balckfire!” Slade yells as he comes running out of his lair. As Gizmo would say, crud. I wasn’t sure what would happen next; whether or not Blackfire would go with me.

“I know what you want,” he says, “You want your sister destroyed, and I can help you with it. Join me, and everything, the city, the Earth, can all be yours. Do you accept?”

I quickly glance at Blackfire. She looks at him, thinking for a moment. Before she could open her mouth to answer, Terra shoots a large rock straight into my face. I was too busy paying attention to Blackfire, the boulder came unexpected. I fall down, but do not hit the ground. It feels like Terra catches me with a rock. My eyes are falling shut as I black out.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

6:00

My eyes open slowly as I am thrown with great force to the ground. I stand up weakly, viewing my surroundings. I see a stone wall and hear someone laughing. I spin around to see Terra smirking smugly at me through thick bars. I realize that once I fainted, Terra must have brought me into one of the chambers in Slade’s lair.

Before I could open my mouth to say anything, Terra leaves. I decide now would be a good time to escape. I try to throw purple waves of bad luck at the metal bars, but no waves come from my hands. With a look of aggravation on my face, I thrust my hand towards the bars again. Still no waves. I give a deep sigh. Slade must have made it so I couldn’t use my powers in this cell. I lean against one of the cold, hard walls and slowly slump down until I’m sitting on the floor. I had failed. Probably because I wasn’t used to working alone. I wonder what will happen. I guess I'll just wait and see.

[T.T.Raven4]

IC: Slade
6:01

I lead Blackfire into my base. I lead her into a room. It's lit by only a dim orange light.

"I know you want the gem." I say. "And I will give it to you, under 2 conditions."

Blackfire listens silently.

"One, you will become my apprentice." I say. "You will serve me until your time has come, or until I say. Two, you will destroy the Teen Titans. Do these things, and the gem is yours."

[Magick]

IC: Blackfire

6:01


I look at Slade, my anger at Starfire ebbing away, replacing itself with a new, unfamiliar emotion. I know that Slade wants me to answer soon. I try to swallow, but my throat has gone dry. I can’t lie to this man. He’d know, and then rip me to shreds.

I push these thought out of my head, and my confidence returns. I stare directly at the single eye showing. It is cold and cruel.

I put an determined expression on my face and say: “You have yourself a deal, Slade.” He nods, and I know one thing: For better or worse, my life is never going to be exactly the same.

[TerraWHRobin4]

Ic:Terra
6:04

I stand in the control room, still waiting for Slade. He enters and I can tell that he has been triumphant.

I wait for what he has to say to me.

He sits down in his chair and says nothing except, "She's with us. You're dismissed."

I didn't know if that meant to go to my quarters... or to leave permanently. So, I asked, "Does that mean you won't need me anymore?"

He turned to me and a lump grew in my throat awaiting his answer. I knew that Blackfire was now his anpprentice and that might mean that he doesn't need me anymore. I sure hope it doesn't...

[Agent S7]

EDITED

Here's my first post...

IC: 6:07 PM: Speedy, Star City


I run but I cannot hide. They all start destroying me slowly. Dying…dying… And Slade looks down on me.

“Pathetic.”

He breaks my neck.”

That’s the dream I’ve been having. Over and over. Nightmare, more like it.

I’ve been having nightmares, as I’ve said. My instructor, Green Arrow says that they’re nothing more than that. Nightmares. But I don’t believe him, which is exactly why I’m headed to Jump City. Raven might be able to decipher the nightmare. If it isn’t a vision.

I haven’t been sleeping well, that could be a factor. And something’s been happening. I keep feeling like I’m being watched. I know that either something’s wrong, or I’m crazy. Either way, lame to be me.

I walk into the taxi, and it begins on the long road to Jump City…

[T.T.Raven4]

(OOC: How'd you knowe I was gon do that?)

IC: Slade
(Speedy may be at a 6:07 thing, but I have to answer Terra so 6:04

I smirk.

"You always were pathetic in the mind." I say. That's why you never were and never will be good enough. You are dissmissed, Permanetly." (sp?)

A look of fear seemed to creep across her face.

"Now get out or I will make you get out." I say. "I have a new apprentice now, and she's better than you will ever be. She will listen, she will obey."

[TerraWHRobin4]

Terra
6:05

"Please Slade... just give me one more chance! To prove to you how much I want to work for you!" I beg him.

I know that he can do this to me, but it isnt fair! He only gave me one chance! He has to give me another chance! HE HAS TO!

"Did you not hear me? GET OUT!"

"Fine! But if you had realized the kind of destruction that me and Blackfire's powers together could reap, you would rethink that answer!" I turn to the door.

[T.T.Raven4]

IC: Slade
6:05

As she turns, I kick her as hard as I can in the side of the head. I roll her over onto her back and stomp my boot into her stomach. Then, I lift her up by her neck.

"You dare question me?" I yell at her.


I throw her into the ground.

"I have no need for you anymore!" I say. "Call it even. You betray me, I betray you."

I kick her again in the side.

[TerraWHRobin4]

IC:Terra
6:37

I sit once again in the quaint little shop on the empty street. Alone. I'll always be alone.

'You know, you could get information on the Titans and give it to him. Just like you did last time...' said a voice in your head.

"But then He'd think that I was going to their side. And that would be bad." I say outloud.

But then again... Tha would be a good idea...

So, I head off to titans tower.

[T.T.Raven4]

IC: Slade
6:38

I smirked as I watched Terra head towards the Tower. I planted a tracker on her, so I'll be able to see and hear everything she does.

"Pathetic girl." I say. "You're only walking to your doom."

I walm slowly out of my control room and find Blackfire. Then, I speak to her.

"Kill Terra." I say.

7:00 pm



I can feel it. Slade is back and this time he has a new surprise for us. More likely than not, he has a new apprentice. And I’d bet a lot of money that it’s Blackfire. She had been seen heading toward JumpCity after she broke out of jail. I know she wants revenge on Star and Slade probably knows too. He would use it to his advantage. Tonight is going to be a restless night I can tell. I will be up all night watching the computer monitors.

Star walks over to me looking fretful. She know that if Blackfire tried to hurt her that we’d be able to bring her down. But joined with Slade, who knows how much stronger she would be.

“Star everything will be fine; no matter what happens we’ll be able to handle it.”

“Yes but…” Star looks at the ground. I put a comforting hand on her shoulder.

She smiles but still looks uneasy, I understand. Not about the sibling stuff being an only, but I know how she feels. Cyborg comes over and looks at the computer.

“Blackfire? Not again.”

“Yep, and I’m pretty sure Slade’s already contacted her.”

“Why?” Cyborg questions.

“Because he knows what happened with Star and her and knows that Blackfire will want revenge.” Cyborg glances at the computer again and goes back to the couch.

“You’re not gonna be up all night at the monitors, I’ll make sure.” He says in my direction.

“We need to know what’s going on.” I protest.

“We’ll find out soon enough. Who knows? Maybe the answer is right in front of our faces.

Time change: 7:37



The alarm blares and I run to the super computer/TV. Blackfire, already fitted in Slade’s trademark suite, grins at us.

“Hello Titans and my sister.” Blackfire says ‘my sister’ with pure hate in her voice. Then a noise at the door distracts us from Blackfire. “Excuse me, I don’t like being ignored!” Blackfire calls. But we aren’t listening. We are much more threatened by the noise.

“Um can someone open the door?” a familiar voice says through the door. We all glance at each other not wanting to be the one to open it. As the leader I walk forward and answer the call by opening the door. Sure enough a familiar face with that familiar voice appears. Terra. I’m not sure if I should glare at her or welcome her.

Raven, Cyborg and even Blackfire glare, but Beast Boy and Starfire welcome her with open arms.

“Friend welcome once again we have missed you much!” Starfire says and embraces Terra with a back breaking hug. Beast Boy also gives her a hug, but of course this is not a hug of friendship more like a hug of admiration.

As the greetings for Terra go on Raven stands in the background. I turn and stand next to her.

“Odd isn’t it? Blackfire just happens to become Slade’s new appetence and Terra just happens in show up on our doorstep.”

“You read my thoughts exactly.” Raven replies.

[TerraWHRobin4]

IC:Terra
7:10

I look up at the monitor and see Blackfire glaring down at me.

"You better keep your nose out of my business! I'm here to protect the Titans from you and your snot nosed Master!"

"Oh really? You tried to join him recently I believe..."

"And he denied me did he not? So, I'm here with my REAL friends. Even though some of them may not trust me!" I'm lying through my teeth... but... something weird happens as I look around the room. My heart fills with warmth. I shake this thought out of me. I can't join them... I can't...

Or... can I? I mean... I have a feeling Slades never gunna except me again... but I have a feeling these guys won't either... I'd be amazed if they did.

I look at Beast Boy and Starfire. My two true friends. Even after all that I did... they still welcome me. I stare at Beast Boy and think about the things that he said to me, 'Its never to late to change....... You can still do the right thing' I smile at him and he just stares. I don;t blame him.

"Well, you definitly are one major road block! I was instructed to kill the Titans. And you, Terra. So enjoy your last few days of your life."

the screen flickers and then all life on the screen dies.

The room is quiet for a while then Beast Boy says, "Did you really try to join Slade? AGAIN?"

I drop my head and stare at the red carpet that I stand on, "Yes... I did. And he used me to get Blackfire," I twist my face in anger and discust(sp)"He's so BIG and BAD he can't to it himself!"

I feel Starfire's hand on my shoulder and I look up at her.

"Friend I am just glad that you are not on the side of evil once again."

I nod, almost crying I'm so touched by Starfire's kind gesture, "And thanks to you Star... I never will be again..."

I have switched sides. These people are kind and loving. Something Slade would never understand if he tried. Now... I have to do my best to prove myself... To the only people that ever truly cared for me...

"What a happy family." I say to myself.

After recent hacking I've been able to get intothe Titans computers including intercom system.

"You think this pathetic girl will make a difference?" I say, aiming my words at the Titans and talking about Terra. "You will be destroyed just as easily."

The power in the Tower (LOL) kicks off, and the Tower is pitch blac. When the power comes on, they are surrounded by my sentinels.

"ATTACK!" I yell.

[Agent S7]

OOC: Sorry this is kinda short. It's 10:48 real world time, and I am tired.
IC: Speedy, 7:17 PM Jump City

I see it. Titans Tower has blacked out. And I might be the only thing there to stop whataver's happening. I shoot an arrow through the air, it flies and hits the tower, and I swing down to the island. I hear screaming. Something flies out of one of the windows. A Slade Setinel. My fears are realized. I should have known he was alive.
There's no time to waste. I burst in through the front door, and immediatly shoot 7 arrows, each landing in a setinel's head. I hear a scream and come running.
"Raven..." I whisper, and dash into the room the scream came from.
Raven is pinned to a wall by a Slade Setinel. And right next to her neck is a large, sharp, dagger...

[T.T.Raven4]

7:19
IC: Slade

I saw him. Speedy. I cursed under my breath. He might be able to help the Titans. My sentinels are merely give Blackfire the upper hand, not defeat the Titans. That really makes it 7 to 1. Maybe I should get in there. It's not like I can't take them. I decide to go. I slip on my mask ang grab my staff.

7:31

I arrive at the Tower, and look up. One of my sentinels flies through the window, and lands next to me. I pull out an exploding disk, and throw it at the door. The door explodes, and reveals the Titans. They all look over at me, especially Terra and Robin with looks of anger. It's about to get rough in here.

[TerraWHRobin4]

IC:Terra
7:32 p.m.

Slade enters and Robin and I glare. I notice that a sentinel is running for Robin and I feel so helpless. There is no type of earth in the tower... I'm powerless. So I yell out, "ROBIN! LOOK OUT!" He turns, and dodges just in time.

I realize that the door was blasted and Pick up some good sized rocks and hurl them at the sentinels attacking Starfire. I hop on one and ride over to where her and Beast boy stand. She throws starbolts at the ones approaching and Beast Boy attacks the ones coming his way. I look around and notice that Raven is gone... She was the one that we heard scream earlier! I head for the stairs, but as soon as I do, a sentinel tries to attack Star and Beast Boy from the back, I throw more rocks at it and say, "No one messes with them!" My eyes glow yellow, matching my hands. As a huge wave of earth comes in and takes down a number of the sentinels I realize that Robin is taking Slade. He seems okay, but I just stare.

My attention is diverted from them as i feel Beast Boy tugging on my arm, "He'll be okay. Lets find Raven."

I nod and float towards the stairs, Starfire waiting for us there. Beast Boy morphs to a raven and flies along side us while we search for Raven.

[Aquagirl15]

IC: Robin

7:32pm



My breathing becomes rash and angry as my hands ball themselves into fists. Reflexes make me reach for my staff. I whip it out and slam it into the nearest sentinel. I continue killing sentinels until I reach Speedy.

“Long time no see.” I say.

“Yeah but this isn’t the greatest time to be welcomed.” He says as he fires arrows into many approaching robots. I leave Speedy and head towards Slade.

“Robin, do you really think you can do it alone?”

“Maybe not but I have to try!” I yell.

“Dear me, don’t we have a temper to day.” My eyes narrow and I leap up as Slade tries to trip me. I extend my staff as he extends his. Slade just stands there with his staff in front of him. He doesn’t move. My eyes never leave his face.

Then Slade smiles at something behind me. The something behind me pulls a fist into my head and I almost black out. I am stunned for the moment being. Once I can see properly I notice that it was Blackfire who had tried to knock me out. She smirks and we prepare to fight. My staff, bird-meranges, exploding disks, and hard training next to the extreme power of the gem of Mekki-Marri; the odds were against me. But incredible odds or not I had to stand and fight and I did so, throwing the first punch.

As I’m fighting I notice that my team is not doing well either. Terra has teamed up with Beast Boy and Star but Raven is no where to be seen. I know that we have to cope. Blackfire hurls blackbolts at me with extreme power. I dodge, basically the only thing I can do. Slade has either gone or is just out of my sight. Most of the sentinels had been killed so I think I will soon have assistance in my battle with Blackfire. But who knows.

[T.T.Raven4]

IC: Slade
7:33

Robin is more than pre-occupied with Blackfire. The gem has geiven her more power than I thought. I can see Robin wants help. I need to make sure that doesn't happen. I run quickly behind Starfire and slam my steel staff into the back of her head. I then turn to Beast Boy, and sweep his legs with my staff. When he's flat on the ground, I slam my staff into his chest, knocking the air out of him. Terra turns towards me, and lunges a few rocks at me. I hit one with my staff which shatters the rock. I dodge the second, and slam my staff on the third. Terra has anger for me, no longer envy. Maybe a little surprise is in order.

[TerraWHRobin4]

IC:Terra

7:35

Slade knocks down Beast Boy and Star and I'm fuming with anger.

"You just made a major mistake!" I say as what seems like a tornado surrounds us. Vutting Blackfire off from helping Slade, and anyone helping me. The way I wanted it to be.

I know that my powers give me an upperhand, but Slade is one tough guy. I wonder if he's figured ou that I don't want to be on his side anymore...

[T.T.Raven4]

IC: Slade
7:35

I cross my arms and smirk.

"It will take much more than your pathetic powers to stop me." I say. "For you see, I have a little surprise for you."

"What are you talking about?" Terra asked.

"Impatient?" I say back. "Always were one of your many many flaws. I run forward, and strike Terra on her kneecap, and then on top of her head with my staff. I stck the tip to her neck.

"Give up. You can't beat me." I say.

[TerraWHRobin4]

IC:Terra
7:36

I hold the back of my head. I stand up and glare at Slade, suprising him, "I'm done with trying to impress you Slade! So get ready!"

My blood is boiling I have such hatred towards this man. Its kind of strange if you think about it. A few hours ago, I was begging this guy. Now... I hate him.

I try to control the tornado and sure enough, I can. I smirk and pick Slade up with the powerful winds. I blow him out of the tower and over the water. I follow the tornado and finally stop in a desert. Where no one will be hurt other than Slade. I slam him down and he stands up quickly, hardly hurt at all.

I slam my fists into the ground and the tall collumns of rock come up but Slade knew what I was going to do.

"Don't forget that I taught you everything you know. I know your every power. You're doomed," Slade says.

I'm gunna need help. But while I hope that someones gunna come help me, I will fight with everything I have.....

[T.T.Raven4]

IC: Slade
7:37

Pathetic. She actually thinks she can beat me? I swing my staff for her head, but she makes a wall of stone block off of blow. I throw an exploding disk at the rock, and it explodes revealing Terra. I swing a fist into her chest and kick her to the ground. I swing my staff to her chest, but she rools out of the way and kicks me into the air. I land on the ground, and see her standing over me. I swing my staff at her, but she catches it, and throws it out of my reach. I kick her in the back, and hold her down with my hands.

"You actually think you can beat me?" I say to her.

I punch her across the face.

"WELL YOU CAN'T!" I yell. "BECAUSE YOU'RE JUST A PATHETIC LITTLE GIRL WHO NO ONE CARES ABOUT!"

Then a crushing force rams me in my back, sending me flying about 20 feet. I look over and see a green bull. It morphs into a human boy; Beast Boy.

"I care." He says.

I look up in anger to see the green changeling.

"Two against one?" I say. "My my, well that just isn't fair. How about I even up the teams."

I press a button on my wristband. In a matter of seconds, a girl in a black jumpsiut with high heels and pink hair appears next to me. Her eyes blazing a bright orange.

"Well, look who it is." I say. "Maybe she would like to help. JINX! ATTACK!"

[TerraWHRobin4]

IC:Terra
7:37

"I care," says Beast Boy.

I look over at him and soon he begins to blur because of the tears appearing at the rims of my eyes, "Beast Boy..."

I remember all the good times that Beast Boy and I had. And love him all over again... wait... I never stopped. Beast Boy always cared for me, and I betrayed him. I have to defeat Slade. I have to. For Beast Boy.

While Slade is distracted by Beast Boy, I kick him in the stomach and he topples off of me. He recovers quickly and charges towrd me. I put up another wall, and knowing what he wil do, fuse with the ground. I feel the vibrations of him throwing a disk at the wall and come up behind him, kicking him hard in the back of the head, Beast boy becoming a tiger and striking him across the chest. Slade grunts in frustration and jumps up to kick Beast Boy.

'I'm gunna try this again...' I think as I yell, "BEAST BOY! FLY!" he turns into a humming bird and I create a huge crack in the ground for Slade to fall in. He falls in, and this time, I'm not looking over the edge. Beast Boy stands by my side and I turn away from the canyon that I had made, only to have Beast Boy push me out of the way and take the kick that Slade delivered.

"BEAST BOY!" I yelled, once again glaring angrily at Slade, "Don't know how you got out of there, but I'm sick of you always coming back!"

I make smaller cracks in the ground and illuminate them with yellow light, two monsters made out of mud and other earthy materials appearing.

"How did you do that?" Slade says, a little shock, "Only with my assistance were you ever able to do that!"

"I've always got a suprise up my sleeve," I say as I move my arms around making the monsters attack him.

[Aquagirl15]

IC: Robin

7:40pm



I look around me Blackfire is fighting Star. I throw an exploding disk at Blackfire and while she’s engulfed in smoke I jump over her so I’m facing her backside. I look to Star and signal her to cover me and if something happens to me just get Blackfire.

Terra is taking Slade so as soon as Blackfire is out of the way we’ll be over there helping her.

“This could take awhile.” I mummer under my breath. I hit Backfire in the stomach.

I take the time that she’s recovering from the wind being knocked out of her, to hit her again; this time on the side of the head, a knock out point. But it doesn’t knock her out like it’s supposed to. I sneak behind Blackfire while she is occupied with Star who is bombarding her sister with starbolts. I’m ready to hit her in the head but she turns around to quick, and with an uppercut to my jaw. I fly through the air and land with a ‘thud’ next to the TV.

“You shall not harm my friend, sister! You may have all the power you need but my strength comes from my friends!” Starfire yells. Blackfire gives Star a catty little smile and says:

“From your friends! Don’t make me laugh!” She won’t be laughing long. I hit Blackfire in the back with my staff. She falls to her knees but Slade’s voice hisses in her ear: Get UP! And she does so.

She fires blackbolts everywhere too many to doge. Several of them collide with my torso. I hold my side in pain. Since the bolts are 100 times more powerful than they would normally be it felt like they had sliced right through me. I glance up at Blackfire and narrow my eyes at the smug look on her face. Starfire is right behind Blackfire and just as Blackfire is turning around Star shoots a starbolt from her hand.

I can’t see what happens, all I see is smoke. Did Star get her? Did Blackfire dodge the shot? I wish I could tell myself that it’s all over and that Blackfire was hit but that’s not what happened. Blackfire ducked.

6:05 (I know, I know… you’ll see why I’m doing this after you read my post.)

“GET OUT!” I hear Slade yell from his control room. I slowly stand up and walk to the bars. I turn my ear facing outwards from the cell to try to hear better.

“Fine! But if you had realized the kind of destruction me and Blackfire’s powers together could reap, you would rethink that answer!” Terra yells.

I grin. Terra is right. Slade could’ve been much stronger with her, but now, he was weaker. I liked the thought of it, considering I don’t like Slade one bit.

I step away from the bars and sit down once more, and wait once more.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

7:12

I had drifted off to sleep from my boredom, but awoken by Slade about an hour later.

I hear a noise like the sound of metal clanging. I sleepily open my eyes to see Slade in my face.

“Agh!” I yell, backing away.

“Hello, Jinx,” he says with a smug look on his face.

“What do you want?” I say standing up and glaring at him.

“Oh, nothing really…” he says, “I thought about what to do with you and didn’t come up with many options.”

“And…” I say in an aggravated tone.

“I either could kill you, or I could use you for my own purposes,” he says. I wave my hand beckoning him to continue.

“I decided since Brother Blood takes so much pride in you, that I would have you work for me,” he finishes.

“I’ll never work for you. I’d think you’d already know that,” I say angrily.

“Oh, but I have many ways to change that,” he says to me. I raise my eyebrow questioning him.



“Mind control,” he simply says to me. My eyes widen.

“Yes, my dear,” he says as he raises a device towards me and fires. A yellow beam flies towards me, and that's when I lose control to Slade.

[T.T.Raven4]

(OOC: Due to a long story, I guess I'm in control of BB now unless someone wants to. I still control Slade too.)

IC: Beast Boy
7:40

Jinx? What was she doing here? I thought she was one of Brother Bloods. Somethings wrong here. I charge at Slade in the form of a Rhinoceris (sp?) and slam him into the ground. I morph into a gorrila, pick him up and throw him away. He maintains his balance, and flips backwards, landing on his feet Man! This guy is like invincible! Terra fires a large rock at Slade, but Slade throws an exploding disk at it, and it explodes. Then Terra fires about 6 smaller rocks, some of which hit him and sent him to the ground. I change into a cheetah, and claw at him. He dodges all but one, and he falls backwards. He springs up and jabs the mettalic staff into my chest. I fall to my knees, gasping for breath. He slams it over my head. I fall over, and can't get up. My nerves just wont move me. I see a blast of pink energy strike Terra, and she falls right next to me. That's the last thing I saw.

IC: Slade

These people are getting tougher and tougher. I slam my staff onto Terra's midsection to make sure she's out cold. I'm actually out of breath after a fight.

"Grab The girl." I say to Jinx. "We'll bring them back to base."

I grab Beast Boy, and begin walking back to the base, with Jinx and Terra close behind.

[TerraWHRobin4]

IC:Terra
8:10

I wake up inside a nega chamber at Slade's base. I realize what happened and hold back the tears. I had failed the Titans. I'm nothing but a failure. I can't succeed at anything. Everything that I've tried to do in the past few days, I've failed at.

I hear someone coming down the stairs and I look around. Beast Boy is still unconsious.

"So, you're awake Terra," Slade says, stepping down the last stair.

"Don't you have at least one eye? Or is it getting old?" I shot back at him with my voice full of nothing but pure hatred.

Slade just stands there as if hes waiting for me to say something else.

"Before you said you had a suprise for me... Do I really wanna know? Just to let you know. I'm NOT gunna work for you. EVER. Period."

It seems like I hit the jackpot, for Slade smiles and says, "Ah yes... The suprise..."

[Aquagirl15]

IC: Robin

8:00 (this is in the tower so this is before what happens to Terra)



Blackfire had ducked and the starbolt had flown across the room. Star looks at her sister with hate in her eyes. Then a quiet but nonetheless hearable, command from Slade calls to Blackfire.

“I have the girl, and changeling retreat.” Blackfire soars out of the room obeying her master. Star and I look out through the hole she makes in the tower wall. It seems there was a battle below us that we didn’t know about until now. There is no sign of Slade, Terra, Beast Boy, Jinx or Raven. Cyborg has been absent for awhile only to reappear at this moment.

“Where have you been? We were getting thrashed and you were just what taking a lunch break or something!” I yell my temper rising.

“Robin there is no need for the yelling and angry words. Tell us Cyborg what have you been doing?” Star asks as she puts a hand on my forearm.

“I was researching that gem that Slade gave Blackfire. Apparently the gem has its flaws. There are only a few but they might help.”

“Do tell us what you have discovered!” Star says in a happier tone.

“One the gem only works on non-humans, which means Slade can’t use it for himself and that’s why he needs Blackfire. Two the rock can only be used for a short time, it is so powerful that if it is used for more than twelve hours at a time, it will destroy the one using it.” At these words Starfire gasps.

“Even though my sister has been cruel, dishonest, and thoughtless I do not want her to be destroyed.”

“Don’t worry Star I think Slade’s smart enough to know this. Anyway the last thing that is wrong with the stone is that it can cause Blackfire’s powers to be useless with out it; meaning that if Blackfire doesn’t have the gem, she can’t use her powers. But this will only happen if she uses the jewel for a long time, like six months.” Star and I stare at Cyborg. Those mistakes don’t seem very obliging to us.

“Don’t seem too promising. I mean there is no way Slade will let Blackfire use the gem too long and she’s not a human and I think that Slade will make sure that Blackfire’s powers aren’t damaged by the jewel. In short, we have no angles to work with.” Cyborg and Star’s heads fall in disappointment.

“Look it’s been a rough day and I want to rest. You guys can try and find some new leads but I’m gonna try to get a nap or something.” Cyborg and Starfire give me strange looks. Now I know it’s usual for me to admit I am tired or beat or wrong or anything like that but half our team’s gone and I don’t feel much like trying to be the invincible one, the one that never quits. I head up to my room and sit on the bed.

Thoughts are racing through my mind so I try to sort them out. Blackfire wanting revenge is simple enough but why and how did Jinx get hooked into this? She’s working for Brother Blood from what I know. I lean back on the bed and close my eyes hoping this action will make it easier to think, but all it dose is make me drift off to sleep.



11:19 pm



I’m jolted from unconsciousness so fast I wonder why it’s happen. But my question is answered by the shadow of Starfire at the end of my bed.

“I am sorry for waking you. Cyborg recommended I check on you but I did not mean for you to wake up.” Starfire says sounding a little startled.

“That’s ok Star I don’t sleep to heavily anyway. Any leads?”

“I am afraid not. Cyborg has been working on the leads ever since you left for some rest. But he has found nothing. He told me I could help him but the mechanical device that you call a computer was too confusing for me to use. So I decided to make some pudding of sadness, for we are all sad because we cannot locate our friends.”

I feel my insides wriggle at the mention of Star’s pudding. But I overlook it. She’ll probably not make Cyborg and I eat any of it, the last time Star made it BB about died when she had him eat some. I got up and go downstairs to help Cyborg with the leads and Star comes with me. It was going to be a long night, for what’s left of it.

[T.T.Raven4]

1:49
IC: Slade

"Ah the surprise, I think you shall wait." I say. "You will know soon enough."

I looked over at a control screen, and it read a time that was slowly counting down. It read 1:34. At that moment, Blackfire rushed in. I walked up to her slowly, and tore the gem off of her neck.

"What was that for!?" She said in anger.

I point to the timer.

"You had one minute to live." I said. "The gem's powers are temporary. If you use them for more than ten hours, it will destroy you."

I placed the gem inside of a small container, and it hummed to life.

"After an hour, it will be fully re-charged. Then you may use it." I say.

Then, I look at Beast Boy and Terra. Terra had awakened. I can tell by her whining comments. Beast Biy seems to be stirring.

"Well well well." I say. This is probably the closest you two have been since I broke you up."

Beast Boy had awakened.

"You know the horrible things she has done, do you not changeling?" I ask.

Beast Boy looks at me in confusion.

"She was begging to be my apprentice, begging for me to accept her before she went with you. But I turned her down, and she went with you. Talk about going down the drain."

I smirked.

"Pathetic."

IC: 5:04 AM, Speedy (TITANS TOWER)

I had the nightmare yet again. I saw him last night, and now I truly know that he lives. Slade lives.
I get up out of bed and yawn. It's been a long night. I'm sure that there's more to this than simple dreams...mind control? Destiny? I have to find out, so I walk to Raven's room.
I'm surprised that she's still asleep. I must admit that I've had a crush on Raven for some time now, but I won't tell anyone. I just find her beautiful, and I want to help her through...well...whatever happened to her to make her so miserable.
Raven opened her eyes.
"It's 5:04 in the morning, Speedy. And what are you doing in my room???"
"5:04?" I say, a little shocked.
"Yes, 5:04. So go away."
"Wait," I say. "Could you just analyze this one dream?"
"Dream anaylsis. Interesting...sure."
I tell her about the dream. About everyone trying to attack me. And Slade's finale.
And her eyes widen. "I'm sorry," she says. "But tommorow, at 3:33 PM, you're going to die."

[T.T.Raven4]

1:50 AM (Still with BB, I'm not finished yet)
IC: Beast Boy

There's just no way. He has to be lying. Terra would never go back to him. She tried to kill him. It can't be true. I look at Terra. She has a look of sadness on her face. Right then, I know it's true.

"You betrayed us, AGAIN!" I yelled.

"Beast Boy I-" Terra started to say.

"How could you do this?" I yelled.

"I didn't I-"

I couldn't take anymore. I clutched my head, and fell to the ground. The emotion was to much to handle. I don't know hbow, but I passed out.

7:39 AM
IC: Slade

Terra had dozed off after a while. She was very upset. Beast Boy had passed out due to the sleeping gas that ventilated through his tube. I found it oddly entertaining to see Terra with second thoughts. I flick on a TV monitor and saw Speedy. He walked through the Tower with a grim look on his face. I wonder what the problem was. Oh well. It shall wait. I glance over and saw Terra awaken at the corner of my eye. She looked at me with a look of pure hatred.

"Past coming back to haunt you child?" I ask.

I let out a loud laugh.

"Maybe you should pay for your deeds." I say.

I hover my finger over a button on my control panel.

[TerraWHRobin4]

IC:Terra
7:40 AM

"Go ahead... Do it... Kill me.... I don't have a purpose..." I stared at Beast Boy. His eyes were slightly open and it was as if he could hear me. I pretended not to see that as I kept spilling the truth right from my heart, "I can't do anything. I'm nothing. I don't have a side. No one trusts me... No matter how hard I try. Even if I mean well.... something always screws it up. I'm no longer needed Slade... No one cares about me. You were right... So please... Just do it."

Good-bye Beast Boy... I'm so sorry for everything... I close my eyes and wait for my death. The only thing that I wanted.

[T.T.Raven4]

IC: Slade
7:40 AM

"Kill you?" I say. "No. That wasn't my objective. My objective is to make you suffer. Your death wouldn't make you suffer, but I know whos death will."

I glance over at Beast Boy and smile.

"I promised you will pay for your betrayal, and I intend to keep that promise." I say.

I press the button, and Beast Boy screams. Electricity can be seen circulating through his chamber. I smirk.

"6000 volts." I say. "He'll be dead in a matter of minutes."

IC: Brother Blood (new character I’ve picked up)

8:00 am



“Gizmo, Mammoth report!” I yell at two of my brightest students.

“We’ve looked everywhere and we can’t find ‘er boss.” Mammoth replies

“No stinkin’ way my censers coulda missed her.” Gizmo retorts in a smug tone. I bang my fist into the arm of my chair.

“Look harder. My I remind you of the last time you failed me?” I snap. Mammoth and Gizmo shudder, the last time they failed was the last time I saw them. Until now. Jinx wasn’t nearly as disloyal to me so she had gotten the job of trying and failing to retrieve Blackfire.

And now her best friends couldn’t find her; Slade’s doing I presume. He would use any bait he could find and now that he and I are in the same business we have to compete to see who will once and for all defeat the Teen Titans. I have mere brainwashed students while Slade has many villains just begging to be ordered around by him. Odds against me but I can cope.

“You can’t find her, well what would you say if I sent someone else to find her and they did so, easily?” I lean forward to stare the two students in the face. I grin at their anxious looks. “You don’t seem to have the confidence you once had do you?” I declare enjoying myself.

I remember the task at hand.

“Anyway…” I rack my brains for a suitable person to go find Jinx. Most of my top students have proved to be spies. And the ones that are still left are well, like Gizmo and Mammoth, not worth the work. “Aha! I know just the person. Red X! Search the city for Jinx, and when you find her return with her. Do not arrive unless you have found her or have information on her whereabouts, got it?”

“Right as rain Brother B. I’m on it.” I heave a deep sigh; although Red X is a great student he is also very childish.



IC: Robin

8:00 am



I shake myself awake. I must have fallen asleep at the computer. I look over to Cyborg whose human parts seem to be unconscious; and to Star who had dropped off to sleep on the floor next to me, her hand still resting on my lap. I gently lift her hand up and lay it on her middle. Then I got to see why kind of food we have in the tower.

Not much, looks like cereal or cook something which we have no time to do. I pour myself a bowl just as Cyborg is waking up.

“Dude was happened? I feel like I’m half asleep have awake.”

“That’s probably because only your human parts fell asleep last night.” I say.

“Good thinking.”

“Want more? I’m pretty sure my brain was thinking about this all night. The only way to get information about what’s going on is to go inside Slade’s lair and see it.”

“Dude the last time we did that we almost got ourselves killed remember?”

“Of course I do, but it’s the only way. Unless you can think of one before Star wakes up cause when she does we’re leaving.” I don’t give Cy a chance to protest. I walk to the couch and sit down to eat my pitiful breakfast. Starfire stirs and slowly her eyes open.

“Um… what has happened?”

“Well we’re going to see what Slade’s up to.” I tell her.

“Wonderful! You have discovered a plan?” Star asks.

“Yeah, we’re gonna go inside his hideout and see it for ourselves.”

Cyborg comes down from recharging his systems and nods at us. “Let’s go” I say. We all find different ways to travel without being seen and get to Slade’s hideaway.



Time change: 8:39



Star flies above all the security cameras and unplugs them. I hack into the door’s computer and open it.

Silently we creep to the control room. Thankfully Slade isn’t there. But I know where he is from the sounds in the secure unit area. Stealthily I walk to the opposite wall where I can see what is going on in the jail cell. My jaw drops as I stare at what is happening.

“No.” I murmur so inaudibly I can scarcely hear it. Beast Boy and Terra are confined in a cell. Terra is crying because Beast Boy lays motionless in the other cell.

What I see exceeding Beast Boy is a mechanism that looks like it could shock the life out of anyone who touches it. But I know BB isn’t dead even if Terra can’t see. From this distance it is hard to tell but I still notice, that Beast Boy is breathing. It is only a few shallow breaths every second but he is still alive, only just it seems.

I try hard to fight back the tears, he was my friend, one of the only people who always had a joke no matter how lame.

“Oh this is precious!” a voice says from behind me. Blackfire! Now my eyes are wide in fear, but it doesn’t last long. I observe that she isn’t wearing the gem, we can take her. And we do. I race over to her and punch her in the stomach, knocking the wind out of her. Star fires starbolts at her while she’s trying to recover.

With a sonic cannon blast we dash out the door. Slade will never know, at least not until Blackfire wakes up, she is unconscious. We are safe for the moment.

"STOP!" I scream as I turn to Slade. I'can't see him fully because of the tears that are pouring down my face.

"Why should I?" Slade asked coldly, "You never cared about him..."

"HOW WOULD YOU KNOW?!" I screamed, nothing but anger in my voice.

"Remember... I knew everything that ran through your mind..."

The electricity stopped and Beast Boy lay motionless... He was gone...

I walk into my control room to find Blackfire unconsciouss. I know the Titans have been here. Blackfire slowly wakes up.

"Damn it." She mutters.

"What happened?" I asked.

"They snuck up on me." She said.

I nodded, and pulled her up.

"Maybe we should make them pay?" I said.

Blackfire smirked.

I was about to press the button that sent shocks through Beast Boys body, when I hear a scream.

"PLEASE NO!" Terra yells.

"Why shouldn't I?" I ask. "What's in this for me?"

"You know I have nothing to offer Slade! Please! Just don't hurt him... I'll do anything... Just don't hurt him! Please Slade!" I couldn't belive myself! I was begging the guy I hated again... but it was the only thing I could do.... I had nothing other than Beast Boy... who knows what happened to the other Titans...

Slade just stares at me as Blackfire laughs, "You think that Slade is going to listen to a poor pathetic little girl like you! HA!"

"Shut up!" I yell angrily at her.

"Don't make me hurt you!" Blackfire said.

"Don't make me laugh!" I screamed at her.

"Just to remind you, YOU CAN'T USE YOUR POWERS!" Blackfire's eyes flashed a dangerous purple.

She was right, I had nothing to protect myself. I couldn't help Beast Boy, "Please Slade... I'll do anything! Just don't hurt him!"

He smirked....

[Agent S7]

IC: (8:30 AM) Speedy, Jump City

I walk in silence. That is, in fact, what I told the Titans. "Going for a walk." But I'm really here to stop Slade. I need to face my destiny, save Beast Boy and Terra, and even if I die, know that I've accomplished something. I walk down the city streets. The place actually reminds me of Gotham, dark, gloomy and desolate. I've been there once or twice, with good ol' GA visiting Bats and all, but still...
Sure feels like I'm in Gotham. I hear laughter. Now I begin to get scared. If the tracer I snuck on Blackfire is correct, then I'll be the hero. I don't know why I'm trying to take out Slade alone...I guess I'm kind of delirious from the nightmares. The high-pitched laughter echoes again, and I wonder who it is.
Suddenly, bursting in front of me is a smiling monster.
"Joker?!?" I shout, preparing for combat.
"Correct, little boy!" Joker laughed. Harley Quinn was standing next to her "puddin'". "You see, we figure that if we capture one Titan, we have them all! Though between you and me, I was kind of hoping for the Boy Blunder. Oh well! Heheheheeheheheeeeeh!"
His laughter distracts me, an almost fatal mistake as he throws the deck at me. Literally. The cards miss, except for one, drawing blood on my arm. I start firing arrows non-stop, each missing in their own special way. Harley whacks me on the back with my hammer, and Joker starts kicking me repeatedly while I'm down. I could swear I hear Harley Quinn say something like this being too much, or some kind of protest. Then I hear the sounds of fighting...someone was beating someone up. Who, I have no idea. The dark voice comes as a surprise.
"Are you hurt?"
Batman. I'm safe. He must've been tracking the Joker.
I open my eyes, the pain subsiding. It's not Batman.
It's Slade.

I couldn't go to retrieve Speedy myself, so I sent a robot to do it. I need a few things done from Terra first. I lift my finger off the button so the shocks stop going through Beast Boy's body.

"Fine Terra." I say. "Beast Boy may live, but every one of the Titans must die. Beast Boy, or the others. Your choice."

I smirked. I dont think i've made anyone endure this kind of decision before. I loved it. Every moment.

IC: Beast Boy
8:33

I heard what was going on. Terra had to choose me or the others. I can hardly talk, but I get these words out.

"Please Terra...just take me." I muttered.

I look at Slade. He seemed to be enjoying this. How can a person do something like this.

"Come now Terra, make the choice, before I have to." Slade says.

8:33 am



“Beast Boy no!” I yell. Starfire, Cyborg, and I are back in Slade’s lair and this time it’s not just to do some snooping. Star is flying with me holding on to my arms. She lets go I hit Slade in the face with my staff before landing on the ground in battle pose.

“Ah this is a pleasant surprise. I was just making Terra chose, Beast Boy’s death or all of yours’.” Slade says with an evil grin.

My eyes go ever so slightly to the right but this is enough to signal Cyborg to try and get BB and Terra out of here.

“R-Robin, no; if it’s got to be m-me or all of you, let it be me.” Beast Boy stutters. I can see he’s fighting back tears. He might be telling me that Slade should kill him but he doesn’t really want to die; I mean who would? Well now he’s making me get a lump in my throat. But with that sadness also comes some anger, blinding anger, no not anger hate. Hate for Slade and everything he’s done to us.

I toss an exploding disk into the electrocuting machine. It becomes a smoldering pile of broken wires. Slade grins.

“Yes you may have destroyed my machine but I can find more painful ways for him to die, don’t you think Blackfire?” I whip around. Standing in the doorway of the cell room, is Blackfire and she’s ready to test Mekki-Marri’s power on us. But from all that talking Slade didn’t notice that Cyborg had gotten Beast Boy out of his cell.

Beast Boy circles the room as a hawk. He turns into an elephant in mid air, right above Blackfire. We can hear her cursing beneath BB. Furious with himself for being so unaware Slade tries to attack me. If he wants to take his anger out on me he’s gonna have to work a little harder than the last time we fought, I’ve been practicing.

I watch from behind the bars of my chamber. I'm overjoyed that Beast Boy is out of this contraption that I'm stuck in. But I don't care about my fate... All I want is the Titan's safety... But I can't do anything while I'm in this box!

If Robin and the other titans hadn't come in... I don't know what I would have done... I couldn't allow Slade to harm any of them... And he gave me that choice. But Beast Boy is alright for now. I had to get out of here... I had to help!

8:34 AM

I'm finally out of that thing. My body feels like it could collapse at any moment. Then, it did, but it wasn't from pain or fatigue. Blackfire had kicked me in the back. I fall over and groan in pain. I just couldn't get myself to stand. Blackfire was just to strong with the gem. I look up to see Blackfire blast her sister with a blackbolt (Catchy, I know) and Starfire fell. Raven threw 2 boulders at Blackfire, but Blackfire moves, and kicks her to the ground. She was just unstoppable. Meanwhile, Slade and Rbin were fighting it out.

IC: Slade
8:37 AM

I kick Robin, but he recovers and throiws a punch towards my stomach. Moving out of the way, I try to sweep his legs. He jumps and kicks me backwards. I fell to the ground, but stayed there. Robin lunged at me, but before he could hit, Blackfire hit him with a Blackbolt and he fell over. This was getting interesting.

(OOC: This is the introduction of a custm character called Michael Spicer. Those of you who have read my fic "Dwyr Budr" will find him familiar, but for the sake of preventing any "Mary Sue"'s I've removed some of his more...extreme characteristics. Oh, and this post is set about ten hours before where the RPG is currently at, for reasons that should become obvious when you read it.)


IC: Michael Spicer
7:03AM local time (10:03PM west coast time), Day 1

I can’t quite remember what the dream is about, but it’s certainly very nice up until the point where the incessant buzzing started. As is the way of things, it slowly dawns on me that this buzzing is coming from the real world, and as a result I begin to wake up. As my hotel room comes into focus, I realise that the buzzing is coming from my phone. I move my arm over to pick it up and bring it to within seeing distance, which at this time in the morning is about ten centimetres.

The display on the phone says that the caller is George. Great. Despite my numerous major-league criminal contacts, not to mention also having a rap sheet as thick as a phone book, the US government occasionally feel like hiring my services. Now seems to be one of those occasions. I press the answer button on my phone and hold it up to my ear.

“Good morning, George. How’s life been treating you since last we met?” I don’t particularly feel like giving this moron as much as the time of day, but unless I want the entire of whatever agency he works for on my back then I’d better be civil.

“Not too badly, son.” George’s choice of words screams arrogance, but his refined voice does not. This was one of the many things about him that never failed to wind me up.

I decide to bypass the pleasantries. “Listen, George. It’s nine in the morning, and I’m on my first holiday for four years. What do you want?”

“Your services.”

Technically, I can take contracts from whoever I want, but George isn’t the kind of man that you just pass over out of hand. Or even at all. “Who, where and how much?”

“Have you ever heard of a man called Slade?”

“Briefly. He runs a crime syndicate out of Jump City, as far as I’m aware.”

George laughed. “I wouldn’t call it a syndicate. He’s a lone crook; smart and well funded, but most definitely small fry. His main gripe is with the Teen Titans, so for the most part we leave him alone.”

“But not any more?”

“Exactly. For reasons that you don’t need to be aware of, he has suddenly become a threat. A threat that we need you to remove.”

“Listen, I’m on holiday. Go ask someone else.”

“There is no one else, son. Everyone else on our payroll is already on assignment.”

I sigh dejectedly. “Alright. Like I said, where and how much?”

“Slade is currently in Jump City, but it’s up to you to figure out his exact location. Termination of him and his plans will result in a paycheque of five hundred thousand dollars. Do we have a deal?”

“Like I would refuse.” That’s true, but not in quite the same way that he takes it to mean.

“Good. I suggest that you get going.”

I hang up and get fed, showered and dressed. After about an hour I’m ready to check out of the hotel, and I walk through the streets of Séte until I reach the train station, my one route to Montpellier Airport. As the train winds through the hills and vineyards of this beautiful part of the world, I silently curse George and this mysterious Slade. I’ve always enjoyed being in the South of France, and this was my first time in a long while to savour its delights once again. Except my job has decided to get in the way, as it always does.

[Matt A]

(OOC: I know that this is a double post, but I've got more stuff that I want to put on here, and seeing as you guys don't seem to want to write any more for this...)

IC: Michael Spicer
10:30AM local time (3:30AM west coast time), Day 2

I’ve only been on this plane for two hours, and I’m already bored. My holiday was intended to just be two weeks of relaxing, so I haven’t brought anything with me to keep myself occupied, and unless I wanted it in French then there wasn’t much point in buying a book or a CD at the airport. Don’t get me wrong, French is a fascinating language, but only in the same way that cricket is a fascinating sport: it’s always fun to watch what’s going on, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that you’ll understand any of it. I’ve already tried to sleep every now and again, but seeing as I’m the kind of guy who isn’t all that comfortable with sleeping on my own in a room full of strangers it’s been a bit tricky. Add to all this the fact that the in-flight movie – yet another big-screen adaptation of a ‘70’s TV series – is too rubbish to even watch, let alone listen to, and it should become obvious that the remaining nine hours of my flight are going to be somewhat unbearable.

I try for the umpteenth time to stave off a bad mood by thinking about my assignment. The sum total of what I know about this Slade amounts to about one sentence, and George being the helpful man he is decided to not help me out. I don’t know where he lives, what he does or who works for him, among many other things that it would be useful to know. However, one thing I do know is who his enemies are: rather than smacking around the state and innocent civilians, Slade seems to spend most of his spare time trying to kill the Teen Titans. I don’t go to Jump City all that often, so I’ve yet to face up against this group of teenage vigilantes, but from what I’ve heard they deserve some respect. If anyone knows where Slade is and what he’s planning, it’ll be the Titans: from the looks of it, they’ll be worth getting to know...

[redDragon]

Folks, could you please add a day to the time to make things easier to figure out? That would be great and I won't go around killing you folks when I update that summary. I believe you guys are on Day 2, whatever day you want that to be, Monday, Tuesday etc. or if you really don't care you can just call it Day 3.

8:34 AM (I think we're still in Day 2 right... Also, I'm changing back to the Time Zone of my Battle thingy)

This is just getting to easy. I kick Robin on the side of his head, and slam my staff into his chest.

"Give up?" I ask.

Robin kicks me, and I fall over, but I roll up immediatley and slam my fist into his chest. I then thrust my staff onto the back of his head. I stomp his chest viciously.

"I'll let you live for now." I say to Robin.

I throw a disk to the ground, and it explodes revealing a black plume of smoke. When it clears Blackfire, Terra, and I are nowhere to be found.

IC: Speedy 11:00 AM Day 2,Slade's Hideout

I honestly don't know where I am. I'm in some kind of jail cell, except with energy surrounding me instead of bars.
I curse to myself, and try shouting. No noise.
"Glad to see that you're awake," the voice says.
"Slade," I say. In fact, I'm surprised I actually say it. I thought that this place was sound-proof.
"You're pathetic." Slade says. "You have almost no uses. Except to terrify them. To shake them down into pools of blood and tears."
"You're going to kill me," I say, realizing that my fate is coming true.
"I will. At 3:33, you will die."
He walked up to a large screen, and turned it on. On the screen was suddenly an image of Titans Tower, with my friends staring at the screen. I tried to shout but once again, I had no voice.
"Greetings, Titans. I have one of your friends here. You do, recognize him, am I correct?"
"Speedy!" Robin shouted. "What do you want with him?"
"I want you to come here at 3:00 PM, alone. And if you don't...he dies. Not that you care about him. You didn't even notice that he was gone during your mission, did you?"
A silence fell over the Titans.
"I'll save you, Speedy. Trust me."
The image faded, and I wished that I could trust him. But I can't. Fate is coming for me, and there's nothing I can do about it...

IC: Slade

I never felt more confident. This plan would succeed, and I would eliminate Speedy. The shocks are programmed to send almost 100,000 volts of electricity through his body, which will kill him instantly. No one said anything about taunting right? I press a button on my wrist, and about 300 volts finds its way into Speedy's nervous system. It's just a little teaser. He gruoans, and falls tpo his knees.

"There's plenty more where that came from." I say. "I hope you are ready to die."

He doesn't answer.

"4 Hours 32 minutes and counting." I say. "Your friend better act fast."

I walk out of the room, smirking under my mask.

IC: Red X
8:00 AM, 2nd Day (I think)
Undisclosed location.

"Red X! Search the city for Jinx, and when you find her return with her. Do not arrive unless you have found her or have information on her whereabouts, got it?”

“Right as rain Brother B. I’m on it.” I leave the room where Brother Blood and some of his HIVE cronies sat. It's getting about time to dump this joint. I am finished with training. Now it's just missions, missions, missions. I care about no missions. I care about no "Head Master." I care about Red X. Me.

Let's see. Jinx. Sent out to get...Blackfire. Orders to fight Terra. Two leads there. Find Blackfire, find Jinx. Find Slade, find Terra, find Blackfire, ditto. Now, who stands out the most? Not Slade. Never caught a glimpse of him, personally. Blackfire is alien, but a sneak one. Terra seems my best bet. Hate to start so far off the chain. Oh well. I leave the base, heading south to Jump City.

Time Change: 9:38 A.M. (Same day)
I'm walking down the streets of Jump City now. I'm not wearing the mask - need to blend in right now. Baggy black pants, a long sleeve T with some red marks on it. I blend in fine. Underneath it all lurks Red X. On my head is a pair of white, wrap-around-the-back headphones. Or that's what it looks like. If I push this button here on my ear, the headphones transform into the mask of Red X. I restrain the urge to push the button.

Walking rapidly now, I come upon a group of teens who are just loafing around. I move close, thinking maybe I can hear something. Or steal something.

That's what I am. A thief. The best thief that ever lived. I love stealing - but I'm no klepto. Kleptomaniacs steal because they can't help it. I steal only what serves my needs- for instance, that kid's MP3 player. I need some tunes.

I move close to my target, listening with the enhanced hearing of my suit. The track is almost over...now. I snatch the device away and put it into my pocket. I've got about 30 seconds before he even realizes that he hasn't moved on to the next track. That's more than enough time for me to leave. Yes, I am that good.

I plug the music player into my "headphones." Booming heavy metal comes flooding out. Much better. Course, now I can't hear what anyone may be saying about the Titans. The music rumbles...
"If there was a single day I could live... a single breath I could take...I'd trade all the others away."

Ah, this music is crap. I toss the useless player away. I don't need music anymore. Some idiot will pick it up. I don't care. Who would ever give up a life as good as mine?

Time change: 10:14 A.M.
I am the luckiest guy alive. And the best tracker in the HIVE. It has been only a little over an hour of looking, and I have located traces of Terra. Her marks are hard to miss...pieces the size of kitchen tables missing from the pavement, rock pillars stuck around for no reason. What an idiot! She knows nothing of covering her tracks. It won't be long before I find Jinx.

I search the surrounding buildings for about 15 minutes, and indeed, I come to a building with some crazy stuff in the basement. A bunch of devices that I'd never use. Hulking machinery that does devil knows what. And some containment prisons. Simple force-field devices. Most of them are empty, but in the third one I find...
Jinx.

I slap an X on the force-field. It shimmers, then melts away at my touch. Convenient. I reach in a grab Jinx by the arm. No response. I pull her out of the prison and drop her to the floor. I doubt she's hurt. Suddenly a though strikes me. I'm still in stealth mode!

I reach up a push the "X" button. With a swoosh and a click, the mask pops in place. I pull off the baggy pants and T, revealing the awesome Red X costume. I stuff the costume in a little tube that is on my belt. As I do so, I silently curse the belt for not being what I wish. Once, I had the original Red X belt. But Robin had taken it from me. This was just a replica I had made. Gadjets, yes. Super-disappearing trick? No. Robin would pay, someday. I fasten my tattered cape to my shoulders, and toe Jinx's still body. Still no response.

Now I have a choice. Do I walk away, leaving Jinx, Brother B, and the HIVE for good? Do I try to wake Jinx and then go back? Or...
Or do I wake her and then offer her a partnership? Red-X and Jin-X. Think of what we could aquire for ourselves. I lose track of time, thinking about my greatness.

Suddenly, she moves. I watch closely, my mind made up.

(OOC - This brings Jinx and Red X up to 11:00 AM, which is where Slade left off. Bonus points to anyone who knows what song it is that Red X was listening to!)

"Master!" A sentinel said walking into the control room.

"Report." I say.

"Red X has been spotted a little south of Jump City." It says. "He may be armed and dangerous."

"Of course he is armed and dangerous." I say. "What do you say about meeting him?"

"Sir?" The sentinel said.

"He's in for a little surprise." I say. "Assemble team X29."

"Yes sir." It says.

"None other than Brother Blood." I mutter. "I know it. Well we'll see how he does against us.

I press an intercom button.

"Blackfire, assemble with Team X29." I say. "Bring X down."

"Yes master." She says.

I press the intercom again, and sit down. I will have the whole battle on camera. It shall be truly interesting.

11:57 AM
IC: Blackfire

Ack! Listen to me, taking orders like a mindless Gammorean. I can't believe these last few days, and I'm beginning to regret that I signed on with Slade. Jinx seemed nice enough, but Slade? A couple words come to mind, but none that I can say out loud. I am in way over my head here, and I don't care about that stupid jewel. An idea begins to creep across my mind. What if I just disappeared mysteriously, never to be seen again? I think of my sister, lying broken and bleeding on the ground, and rise into the sky. I came here to get rid of Kori, and I'm going to do just that before I go.

Day 2

There was something in the tone of her voice when she replied. Could she be trying to betray me like all the others. Possibly, and I won't let it go unforgiven. I press a button on my wrist and static is heard. Then a voice cracks through.

"Sir?" A sentinel says.

"If you see any signs of betrayal or wrongdoing in Blackfire, destroy her." I say.

"Yes sir." It says.

I shut off my communicator.

Of course I can't let them have all the fun. I fell that this is my battle too. I slip on my mask and grab a series of weapons. Blackfire will pay if she decdies to walk out on me. Pay with her life.

[Kregor8]

IC: Red X
11:32 AM. (Still day two)

I though I saw a movement. But no, Jinx still sleeps away. I prop her up against a box. Maybe she will recover better when upright. Come on, Jinx - this is wrecking everything.

I have learned it is never a good idea to hang around in one place for long. And here I sit. It's been half an hour. I pace around a bit, muttering.
Maybe I should just leave - tell Brother Blood what he needs to know and scatter. I doubt he could find me if I didn't want him to. I am the best tracker he has. Heck, Gizmo and Mammoth couldn't even find Jinx. But no. I sit back down.

I want to get Jinx to team up with me. I usually work alone, but having a junior partner might be fun. I laugh at the thought. Junior partner. She'll want full equal rights. Probably even consider me to be her junior. Stuck up little witch.

I get up and pace around again. This is so boring. I start examining the boxes.
Well, well, well. What have we here? Books. Lots of books. Now what would Slade do with these? I pick some of them up. Nope, not Slades. Terra's, I would guess. They are all empty journals. I pocket a nice small one - it has an iron clasp.

I glance at the time, which displays inside my mask. 11:49. Dang, it's getting late! I walk back over to Jinx and grab her by the shoulders.

"Wake up, silly girl," I mutter, as I shake her. Suddenly, her eyes snap open.

"Good, you're awake. We need to get out of here," I start. But I notice something strange. Her eyes - they aren't purple. They're orange. In one smooth motion, Jinx jumps out of my grasp, kick me in the face, and blasts me across the room. This is going to be harder than I counted on. I drop to the floor, in flying phoenix stance. If she has to go down, so be it.

"Bring it on."

Day two 12:00 pm (noon)



I smile. Yes that’s exactly what I would have expected from a self-centered villain. I watch as Red X fights Jinx. Hacking into Slade’s security camera was surprisingly easy; I had projected more from him. I watch the scene with amusement, not caring too much that Jinx is under Slade’s control. I can tell from the way she’s fighting, much more aggressive than graceful as she normally is.

Red X is stronger but Jinx surpasses him in speed and agility, which is hard to say as X is quick and nimble himself. I turn to a yellow armored guard.

“Make sure he brings her back, I don’t want him winning over a top student.” I say to him and off he goes to tell some more sentinels. Red X won’t be having any time to say anything to Jinx; I’ll make sure of that. And then I can have some fun expelling him…



IC: Robin

12:15 PM



I slam my fist on the desk for the utmost time today. This stress is getting to me. But as Cyborg explained, I can handle a lot more tension than a normal person. I was trying to find Raven, we haven’t heard from her for about two days. Now the only Titans we’re missing are Raven and Terra. But we know where Terra is, there hasn’t been a sign of Raven anywhere.

I don’t care what the others say; I know Raven can handle herself but almost two days without any signal from her…

“This is all my fault!!!” I yell. The other Titans look at me, all wrapping sprains and cuts in bandages. I put my head down on the desk, fighting the urge to break the computer.

“Fear not Robin, we will find Raven and all will be ok.” Starfire says approaching me. I try to calm my breathing which had become rash.

“We have to find her, I should have been looking for her right from the start, and I should have tried to help.”

“Dude, all we can do is try and find her, I think you’re stressing way too much. Maybe the best thing to do right now is nothing.” Beast Boy tries reasoning.

“You don’t understand Beast Boy I’m the one who is guilty I have to find Raven or I know something bad will happen. Almost all the villains know her powers are her weakness.”

“Let us just hope for the best, I shall fetch some snacks.” Star leaves to search the kitchen.

“We keep trying to tell you Robin, Rae can handle herself.” Cyborg adds to me.

“I know that! It’s just…” I try arguing. But Cy cuts me off.

“What you need is a break. I’ll look for her, you jut try and gets some rest or something. And don’t refuse or I’ll make you have a good time.” I sigh; Cyborg and BB are right, but I don’t tell them that I just skulk off to my room.



IC: Brother Blood

12:15 pm



I have watched Robin argue about Raven. He wants to find her; no doubt because he knows the team will fall apart without their dark member. Won’t he be overjoyed when he finds out that she is with me and no harm has befallen her, yet. If I don’t get Jinx back, I’m sure Raven will be a suitable substitute; or even better than I could imagine.

“Bring out the girl.” I tell a guard. Seems I have too many of these workers actually. “Hello Raven, I’m sure you remember me.” Raven twists about trying to break the guards’ grips on her arms.

“I’m not working for you in this sick school Blood. I’ll die before I serve a villain.” She yells at me, I don’t even flinch.

“You know I think you will listen to me. After I destroy your home and friends, where else will you go?” I ask her smugly.

“You’ve tried to hurt my friends before and it didn’t work last time. What makes you think this time it will?”

“You have no idea.”

I go to retrieve the snacks for my friends. I would make up something Tamaranian, but they do not seem to enjoy it as much as I do. Instead I open the wooden door and reach into the recession known as a cabinet. I grab the "chips" and begin to pull them out when I believe I hear a voice

"Starfire..."

I turn to see where the voice came from, but there is no one there. I return to retrieving the snacks when I hear the voice again.

"Can you hear me? This is Raven!"

"Raven! Oh thank Zall you are unharmed!" I put the chips down and continue to look around, confused. I can hear my friend, but I can not see her. "Where are you?"

"I am at the H.I.V.E. acadamy. Br. Blood took me captive."

I had forgotten that Raven could speak to us with her mind.

"Why do you talk to me and not to Robin or the others?"

"I tried, but they're to busy with their own conversations to hear me."

"Oh." I giggle at this thought, "I think I can understand that."

"Starfire, I don't have much time! Listen closley! Brother Blood is planning to destroy the tower and the other Titans. He is building some sort of...Ahhh!"

"Raven!" I yell her name, but she is gone. I have to tell the other Titans about what has just happened.

I fly to where the other Titans are seated, leaving the chips behind.

Day 2
The Hive Academy
---------------------------------------

I slam into the wall hard, interrupting my telepathic link with Starfire. A fork of energy "zzzts" over my shoulder as the effects of the guard's laser wears off. "What were you doing?" demands the guard, angrily.

I remain defiantly silent, glaring at the guard. "ANSWER ME!" shouts the guard.

"YO!" shouted another, taller guard enters the room, "Quit yelling. It's giving me a headache."

"Why don't you try guarding this piece of work," says the first guard hotly.

"Fine," says the tall guard, "the boss is talking to all the guards. Go over and listen. I'll take over here." The shorter guard stomps out of the room, leaving me and the tall guard alone. With the other guard gone, I can sense something different about this guard.

"Raven, right?" asks the guard looking into my eyes. It is at this point that I realize what is different about him. His eyes. Instead of red, like the other guards, this guard's eyes are a deep blue. When I stay silent, he chuckles and starts toward the far wall.

Looking around, the guard flips up a small compartment in the wall, originally invisible to me. He presses a red button under the door, but nothing seems to happen.

I finally break my silence. "What did you just do?" I ask sharply.

"I'm Jed, nice to meet you too," says the guard sarcastically.

"Small-talk is pointless. Are you helping me?" I look at him disbelievingly.

"Actually, yes," said Jed. "Blood uses mind-control to make us guards do his bidding. Somehow, I managed to break free and I can do as I please. A couple seconds ago, I pleased to turn the energy field off that neutralized your powers."

"Why?" I ask in wonderment.

"Do you think I want to work for that overbearing psycho? I don't think so."

"So, I can get out now?"

"Well, not exactly. You see, what I told Mack over there was true. Blood is talking to all the guards right outside. You can break free, just wait for the oppertune moment. If you need me, I'll be around to help." With this, Jed turned and walked out of the room.

I stare after him, wondering if I can trust him. I concentrate, seeing if he really freed my powers. The flip door over the button flips up; exactly how I wanted.

I smile, knowing that I now have an ally on the inside, and that Starfire will relay my message to the other Titans. Blood will be stopped in no time.

Day 2
Slade's Hideout

Does anyone even notice me? I've been kidnapped and no one seems to care. Raven told me that I was going to die at 3:33 today, and the Titans aren't even coming to rescue me! How's that for heroes, huh?!?
I scream as loud as possible, but no voice comes out. I hate this. I hate Slade. Most of all, I hate the other Titans for not even noticing the fact that I've been kidnapped. Maybe they're just hanging out at Titans Tower, just lying around, not even caring while Slade prepares to snap my neck. I hate them! I despise them! I don't even care if Robin drops dead anymore!
I start to scream, the lack of sleep, the nightmares and the torture affecting my formally powerful mind. I think I've lost my sanity.
"You want revenge, don't you?" a cold voice whispers.
"SLADE!" I scream, pounding on the powerfully sealed cell. "GET ME OUT!"
"Where's the courage you once had? The feeling of power? They don't even care about you, you know. They want to rescue Raven, not you."
"Wh...what?" I whisper in terror.
"You have no hope. You want revenge. You want them to die, don't you?"
"Yes..." I growl. "I want to kill the Titans. But...how?"
"I'll introduce you to Blackfire and Terra." Slade said. "Welcome to the team."

IC: Red X
12:01 P.M., Day 2

I dodge a pink hex-bolt, jumping clear just in time. It smashes into a large metal box, which begins melting. I leap towards Jinx, flying over her head and tossing three throwing-Xs at once. Luck at last! One of them strikes Jinx in the arm, and she pauses for a moment to pluck it out. This moment is all I, Red X, need to win. I fly at my opponent, smashing her into the wall with great force. Two Xs, one at either side of her throat, secure her fast. If she were to move now, she would certainly puncture her pretty little neck. Which I know she will not do, even under control of Slade. I slap an X patch on her forehead, hoping it will work. Curse Robin! If it weren't for him, I would never have been in this mess. He will pay. He certainly will. That belt will be mine again.
The orange glow fades out of her eyes; the normal pink fades back. Finally, some success. She seems rather dazed...
"Red X," she whispers. Then her eyes shut, and she droops forward, unconcious again. I yank the Xs out of the wall, and she drops to the floor. So, now I'm back where I started. Curse Robin.
I hear a noise upstairs...sounds like company is comming. I doubt they will be friendly, so I heft Jinx's limp body on my shoulder and dash up the staircase. When I reach the top, I see something I would rather not have seen.
Blast Outside there is a girl hovering. Blast again. Blackfire. And a horde of Slade's sentinels. Muttering more curses on Robin, I lower Jinx to the ground.
"What do you want?" I shout out to my visitors. Blackfire gives me a vicious look, and answers.
"Your head."
Nope. This is not good at all.

Day 2
Slade's Hideout

"Terra?!" Where's Blackfire?" Slade yelled as he turned to me after talking to Speedy.

"I don't know! I'm not her personal schedule or something!" I yelled, wondering what exactly had happened to Speedy. He was more... angry looking than before, just like me after that night so long ago...

~~~~FLASHBACK~~~~
"You said you'd be my friend no matter what remember?" I said approaching Beast Boy, but he turns away.

"Slade was right Terra. You have no friends."

I stare at him in pure shock, "Come apprentice," I hear Slade's voice from behind me. I shut my eyes and try to take in what Beast Boy just said. Then I open my eyes, glaring daggers at him, my hate radiating off of me. Slade says something, but with all the hate I'm feeling, I don't hear a thing, we both retreat into the darkness...

~~~~END FLASHBACK~~~~

"Are you ready Terra?" Speedy says next to me, after coming out of his quarters, in his apprentice uniform, me also in mine.

"Always," I whisper, hatred coating my voice at the thought of all the things that had happened to me.

~~~~AT TITAN'S TOWER~~~~

"TERRA?!" Beast Boy yelled as we blasted away the front door.

"SPEEDY?" Robin yelled in utter horror.

"Why friends? WHY?!" Starfire yelled.

"You all knew where we were..." I started.

"But you refused to come for us..." Speedy finished.

"Terra... please... no..." Beast Boy seemed to beg me.

"I remebered all the things you've done to me Beast Boy and I'm not gunna turn back now. Slade is more pwerful than ever, and I've stood at his side, watching the monitors, you all knew perfectly well where Speedy and I were, yet you refused to come look for us, when we helped you all that we could. I REFUSE to come back to you again. I'm sick of you! And I WILL defeat you, one way or another!"

My eyes and hands shined a bright yellow color as I launched my first attack, and I was about to take out all my fury on the people who never cared about me, never once tried to rescue me, NEVER EVER cared that I could have died, NEVER cared about me even BEFORE i knew about Slade... They were going to pay for what they had done... And they would die at my hands.

12:30 PM

Day 2

TitansTower



I see that Speedy is slowing down. He looks confused and hurt ask he fires arrows at me and the others, missing most of the shots. I can tell he isn’t really thinking about the fight or aiming. I feel really stupid for not going and finding him, I have no excuse for this. Just another thing to add to my list of things I wish I could change. It’s been growing ever since I was forced to be Slade’s apprentice.

Blackfire and Terra are here too, it’s just a matter of time before Slade shows up. Cyborg and Star are handling Blackfire pretty well but I sense danger as I see Beast Boy is the one fighting Terra. My words to Terra before she was turned to stone are ringing in my head.

“I was Slade’s apprentice once too you can get out…”

“…I’m not some sad little girl waiting to be rescued…” this just made me even angrier at her. First she runs back to Slade saying she’ll serve him again, he betrays her, and she comes running back to us. Then Terra changes and becomes Slade’s apprentice again. Back to square one.

I feel no sympathy towards her; she is a traitor, a liar, a villain. I doge a blow from Speedy who seems to be focusing on the fight again, I hit him with an uppercut as I rise to stand properly. He wavers around a bit; I think I might be able to knock him out if I strike him in the right spot. I punch Speedy on the jawbone, hoping that essential knock out point would work. It does on some people on others it doesn’t, but Speedy was one of those who it did work on.

Speedy falls to the ground his, eyes half closed. I turn to see Beast Boy having trouble with Terra. Star and Cy are still fairing pretty well, but BB looks like he could go unconscious any minute. I wonder where she got the rocks, but then realize that we still have a gaping hole in the tower wall. I throw an exploding disk at the rock she tries to hurl at Beast Boy.

BB didn’t seem to be fighting Terra’s attacks at all though.

“Beast Boy, fight her, remember she’s just another villain.” I say trying to get BB to forget about the past, obviously she doesn’t love him anymore, or she wouldn’t be doing this. I grab two bird-erangs and throw them at Terra. One slashes her arm and the other cuts her stomach as she bends down in pain. They fly back to my hands and I rush over to check on Beast Boy’s wounds. But as I hurry over to him, an X wraps around my ankles and I trip.

I don’t even need to look up to see whose shadow is above me. Again I pull out a bird-erang and cut the binding on my ankles. I trip X after I’m free.

“What do you want?” I ask in disgust.

“You know just the belt.” Red X says casually as he stands up. The belt, yes, I look down at the one he’s wearing; a feeble attempt to copy the original. Ugh he’s not working for Slade too is he? I ask myself. Well I’ll guess that he isn’t as he’s not wearing a ‘Slade’ suit.

Red X throws an X at Beast Boy who was trying to get over to us to help me. Terra’s just watching us fight, which is weird cause she should be trying to kill me while I’m occupied with X. I understand that X wants this to be a one on one battle. I whip out my staff, prepared to fight until I can’t stand anymore.

Day 2
Titan's Tower

Dreams...
Lately they've been...haunting.
Painful.
But not this one. In this one...
I'm with the Titans. Just hanging out, like a regular member. I have my own room in their place and everything.
And in the dream it's already been 3:33 PM. I'm not dead yet. I have my friends back, I'm helping people.
Beast Boy says something. But nothing comes out.
I don't even notice as things slow down. The door to the tower opens.
Slade.
No one notices but me.
It looks like it's going to be the same old nightmare. But this time...it's not.
I pull an arrow out from my quiver, aim it exactly right, and it hits him, he flies back into the wall. I pull another one out, and it explodes next to his mask. He falls to the ground, unconciouss.
For once in my dream, I didn't die.
I begin to pull myself away...I can defeat him...I can win...
=======================================

I wake up. Titans Tower is in chaos, as usual. I'm still tired and feel a little sick, but I'm remembering the dream. I can defeat Slade. I will.
But then part of the dream comes true.
The door opens.
And Slade walks in. Smiling under his mask...

Titans Tower

"Well well." I say. "Did we start the party without me?"

I pulled three exploding disks out of my belt and hurled them at Red X, Beast Boy, and Robin.

"Terra, Finish the Changeling." I say sternly. "Speedy, eliminate X."

I launch a final disk in the area of Starfire and Cyborg.

"Blackfire, you know what to do." I say.

With my help this battle will be over momentarily. It's almost pathetic how easily these teens are defeated.

Day 2

I smile and say, "Gladly master," and continue on the fight that I had stopped and stared at. Why? I dont know, but now, Beast Boy was going to feel my wrath. He was already on the brink, and it made me remember when we were both captured by Slade, my master. I can't believe I actually turned back to them! I'm so ridiculous!

"Terra..." Beast Boy said struggling to get up, I shook the floor and he fell. Then he sat up and said the five words that I feared, "I know you're not evil..."

I stared in dibelief at him, how could he believe that?! He was getting on my last nerve!

"I know you better than anyone else Terra..." He said his voice cracking on my name.

"WRONG Beast Boy! Slade knows me better than anyone else ever had, or will! Get that fact through your skull!" I yelled my anger flaring, and the ground shaking. My eyes and hands started glowing as I launched another attack.

I was going to make my point, crystal clear... One way, or another...

"Terra please..." I mange to get out.

"You'll never understand." She says with a smile on her face.

I managed to stand. She threw a punch towards my head, and I narrowly dodged it.

"Terra...I love you." I muttered.

I wrapped my arms around her neck and kissed her softly. I pulled back after a few seconds. My energy disappeared. I collapsed on the ground.

Day 2
Roof of Titans Tower.


I gently step out from one of my portals onto Titans Tower. I walk around to the set of stairs leading down from the roof. I was familiar with my surroundings, so I could complete my mission quickly.

Quietly as possible, I sneak down the stairs into one of the numerous hallways of Titans Tower. Although I sort of know my way around, I am still a little lost. I hadn’t even lived here for a whole day before I was kicked out, along with Mammoth and Gizmo.

I come up to a door with the sign ‘Evidence Room’ plastered on it. I grin as I enter the code for it. I was lucky that I still remembered it. 349-6125. I murmured to myself as I punch in the numbers.

The door slides open with a quick ‘swoosh’ and I walk in. It is very dark, but I decide to leave the lights off. Someone, somehow, might notice. It’s just safer to keep them off.

As I walk along, I spot items of the Titans’ past fights. There’s one of Slade’s old masks. I think to myself. And Control Freak’s remote. I remember that in the news.

I finally come up to what I’m looking for. I take the belt with many xynothium powered gadgets in my hands and smirk.

Perfect.

Day 2
Slade’s Lair


I am roughly thrown down onto a crate. I instantly open my eyes instantly from the pain in my back. I look up to see someone battling Blackfire. Blackfire shoots a blackbolt at the person and they fly backwards, almost landing on top of me. I hastily move out of the way. The person looks at me, and I realize it’s Red X. What’s he doing here? I asked myself. Wait, I can think properly… I am no longer under Slade’s control…I grin as I stand up.

I fire a hex a Blackfire knocking her backwards and dazing her a bit. She gives me a confused look. I outstretch my hand to Red X and he takes it as I help him up.

“I am no longer working for Slade,” I tell her.

“Neither am I!” She replies.

“Then why are you attacking me?” Red X demands.

“I thought you were working for Slade,” She answers.

“Red X works for no one,” he simply says, “Especially Slade.”

I look to the senitels behind Blackfire. There eyes are glowing red. The look like they’re going to attack her for her newly declared independence from Slade.

“Look out!” I say as I fire waves of bad luck at the senitels. Some of their heads fall off. The rest of them jump at Blackfire, but she was ready. She fired several blackbolt at them, leaving no surviving robots.

“Well, if we’re done here, I have other matters to attend to. I have no reason for killing either of you. But there is someone I do have a reason for,” Blackfire says as she begins to walk away. X and I just shrug.

I look at him, not really sure of what to do next, but then he speaks to me, “I have a proposal.”

I raise my eyebrow.

“Name one mission or plan Brother Blood has succeeded with” he says.

“I…. I… um…” I can’t answer him, for not once has Brother Blood succeeded with something.

“Exactly,” his says with a smirk on his face.

“What are you getting at?” I ask him.

“Have you ever worked in a partnership?” he questions.

I smile and say, “No, but I will be now.”

The disk explodes near my head and I am thrown against the far wall. I can see that my sister is aproaching quickly and that Beast Boy is in trouble. I can not do much to help him, but before my sister is within strikeing distance, I hurl a starbolt at Terra.

I turn and look to see my sister's fist inches from my face. It connects and I fall to the ground. I decide to try a new combination I had recently thoutght of. I ready a starbolt and punch my sister in the gut, fireing the starbolt the moment I contact.

"I may be your little sister," I say with a menacing tone, "but I am not as weak as you presume I am!"

Blackfire fires a volley of blackbolts at me, and I dodge a few of them. Most of them impact all over my body. There is much pain, but not as much as there should be. The jewel should give her immense power, but it has not! Blackfire advances and puts her foot on my chest, pinning me down to the floor. I look up and see that she is not wearing the Jewel!

"Goodbye, little sister!"

Day 2
Titan's Tower
I feel my grip on the bow tighten. Slade. I must have a hatred of him equal to Robin's by now. But I can't...I can't stop shooting at my friends...
Something is wrong...It's not me. It's...It feels like it's coming from the suit...
I remember what Robin told me once about Terra, that she had once been almost possesed by Slade's suit. And I realize now that I am a slave to my worst enemy.
My body fires another round of arrows, one hitting Robin straight in the shoulder and drawing blood.
There has to be some way...Some one who can help me...
I wish good old GA was here.
We always used to fight crime together, ever since he adopted me as his sidekick. He let me join the Titans, and now I've become what I've hated most. It's all over.
I feel a shock ripple through me, and a sharp pain near my back. I look upward and my mouth gapes open. The suit's been deactivated. By...Green Arrow.
I pull on my bowstring as Green Arrow, my mentor, jumps by my side. The last few days have been nightmares, and this...it's like a miracle.
"Deathstroke?" he says.
"We call him Slade around here," I say.
For the first time since I was a little kid, I feel like I'm with my real dad again. In a way Green Arrow really is my father...
I pulled the bowstring, aiming directly at Slade.
"Ready?" Green Arrow asked.
"Ready."
I let the arrow loose.

The arrow strikes my right leg. I kneel on the ither leg in pain. I manage up and I strike Speedy with my Staff. There's just no way he could be here. I fall again and cannot stand due to the pain in my leg. I pull the arrow out and gaze at the blood trickling out. Damn them.

The Hive Academy
-----------------------------------
I estimate that about 20 minutes have passed since my meeting with Jed, the Hive soldier. He certainly makes my escape easier, but I wonder why the rest of the Titans haven't arrived yet. Surely Starfire would have mentioned it by now. I can't risk contacting her telepathically yet. I'll have to wait for Jed's shift. Assuming he has one.

Suddenly, Jed bursts in yelling at the top of his voice. "We've just gotten word from Red X! Slade has, apparently, been neutralized by the Green Arrow at Titans Tower."

Without a word, my guard leaves, probably to see if this is true or not. "Jed," I ask, "It that true?"

"You betcha," he says smiling, "And now that I have you here alone, you can escape."

"But won't they think it suspicious if I escaped on your shift?"

"Of course," he says resignedly, "but it doesn't matter what happens to me. Not as long as Brother Blood is stopped. I'll help you get out, but..."

"No need," I interrupt, "I can get us out of here the easy way. The both of us."

"How?" askes Jed, confused.

"Just come close," I say to him. I concentrate and the next thing either of us sees is the darkness between the Academy and the Tower.

Day 2, Speedy
Titan's Tower

"How does that feel?" I ask Slade. The wound looks pretty nasty from here. It probably punctered an artery.
"Shut up!" Slade shouts, out of his usually-cool demeanor. I feel a kick crunch into one of my ribs, and come back by punching him in the chest. He falls back. Green Arrow looks like he's about to say something, but doesn't as I begin to lift off the mask, holding an arrow above his head in case he attacked.
I had pictured Slade as a monster. An inhuman monster with no sense of conscience or morality, but now that I saw him, he was...a real person. There was no mask to hate anymore. He looks old, with a patch over his eye. I think to myself how I'm probably the only person to see Slade without his mask. He looks truly human...actually scared. I suddenly feel a tinge of sadness for him...why did he want to kill the Titans so badly?
I notice that he's slipping into unconciousness. He blinks once, and whispers one word quietly...
"...jericho?..."
He faints.
I see a flash of black energy, and I'm never more happy to see Raven. Wait...she's with a boy?
Well, there go my chances with her...

IC: Red X
Location: Titans' Tower
12:32 PM (That's around noon) Day 2
I climb through one of the many holes in Titans' Tower. There he is. Robin. Seems pretty busy too - big fight going on. Oh well, I don't mind. I shoot one of my binding Xs at him, and it curls around his feet perfectly, just as he is going for Terra. He falls on his face. I step over to him. Blast! He cut the X, and as a matter of course, knocked me over. If I had done that, I'd have finished him off. Not Robin, though. He'll talk a bit. So, I'm not worried.
"What do you want?" he asks. I smile under the mask as I get up. Knew he'd say that.
"You know. Just the belt." He glances critically at my utility belt. I guess it's not much worse than what he's wearing now, but he shows no respect for it. He flicks out his retractable bo, extending it to its full 8 feet. I pull out a set of X-and-chains. Stupid name, practical weapon. They're my own invention. Half way between nunchucks and a sickle-and-chain, these are my favorite weapons. In his other hand, Robin holds four exploding disks. Typical Robin. I match him with four throwing Xs. He now seems ready, but I launch the first attack.
I fling three Xs at him, and he counters with the exploding disks. My three Xs meet his disks, destroying them in mid air. The four disk, however, lands between my feet. I leap towards him, propelled by the blast, whipping fourth X. He catches it on his bo - must have seen it coming. Oh well, he won't see this.
I swing my X-and-chain in his dirrection. The chain extends, wraping three times around the bo. I catch the X as it swings by. Robin assumes that I'm trying to take his staff. Wrong guess. He snaps the bo up, thinking he will tear my weapons away. This is what I wanted. I jump when he yanks, and fly toward him, propelled by his effort, not mine. My skull-marked boot strikes his face, momentarilly stunning him. With a quick snap-and-twist, I reclaim my X-and-chain, but now Robin is at me again. This goes on for a few minutes, until Jinx appears inside the windowsill.
"Come on, X. Too much action here. We've got what we need." Good. She has the xinothium belt. I keep my focus on Robin, deflecting blow after blow. Suddenly, an arrow appears in Robin's shoulder. He winces. I look in the dirrection it came from. Speedy. Jinx is right. The scenes too hot here.
"Well, Robin. It looks like you've got a lot to deal with. I'll see you again some time. We can finish this without interference."
I turn and dash to Jinx's side. More people burst into the tower. It looks like Green Arrow. Come to help Speedy, I guess. It's not my business why the would be against the Titans. We disapear in a pink flash.
* * *
(Scene change - top of an abondoned warehouse)
Jinx hands me the belt. Yes! This is what I've been missing all this time. I toss aside the copy and fit the original to my waist. Yes! I press the X in the center. The world hazes, shifts, then reappears. Yes! The cloaking device still works. I turn to Jinx.
"Well, Jinx. You've done splendindly. That already gives us a better record than Brother Blood. He's what, 0 for a million, and we're 1 for 1. This is working out fine. What would you like to do next? I'm the greatest thief in the world. I can steal movies out of the rental store, cars from the dealer, coal from the mine, money from the mint..."
"The gold from Fort Knox?"
"There isn't any gold in Fort Knox, Jinx."
"Oh."
"Though if there was, I'd steal it. I'm the greatest thief in the world."
"I can think of one thing you couldn't steal."
"What's that?"
"That belt." I smile.
"Well, that makes you the greatest thievess in the world."
"Is that even a word?"
"It is now. Now, what would you like?"
She ponders a moment, then grins wickedly.
"How about Brother Blood's comb and brush? He spends far too much time on his hair." I grin back.
"So, it's to be revenge and humiliation? We can do that. First, let's set up a little blind." I reach into my pocket for my HIVE communicator. Finding it where I left it, I flip it open and push the emergency transmit button. When Brother Blood's face (and over-styled hair) appears, I give him this message.
"Brother Blood, this is Red X. We just got out of Titans Tower. Green Arrow has taken down Slade, the Titans are in a shambles, and it seems high time for you to mop up and take what you need."
"Excellent, Red X. You have done well. You may return to the academy."
"I'll be along." I shut the communicator. I turn to Jinx. "That should take his time. Just imagine his face when he shows up in a full blow battle! Now, if you'll hand me your communicator..." She hands it over. "Will you do the honors?"
"With pleasure," she says. I toss the two devices into the air, and they explode in a shower of pink sparks. We stand there, grinning at each other.

(OOC: Hope this isn't too confusing. Red X tells a little fib to BroB, but he ended up being partly right.)

Day 2
12:34

Red X just left and Slade's down, Raven just appeared, I have absolutely NO idea whose side Speedy is on, and I'm the only one f he's not on my side. Some guy named Green Arrow is here and I am absolutely dumbfounded. Speedy shot Robin, the Slade... I'm so confused, I guess now would be a good time to make my exit.

But the thing that confuses me most is Beast Boy, even after saying all that to him, he still loves me. Why am I even thinking about him? My thoughts are interrupted by some older guy appearing with what seems an army behind him. I notice four faces behind him. Titans, or, former Titans it seems. Aqualad, Mas y Menos, and Bumblebee. Yet another thing to add to my confusing list.

The leader looks up and seems astounded that we're all there, "You all aren't supposed to be here!" he shouts in frustration.

Cyborg looks extremely angry at the sight of this man and shouts, "BLOOD?! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?"

Blood? As in Brother Blood? If slade doesn't get up and fast, he may lose Blackfire. I know that Jinx was working for Brother Blood, so... that means that Brother Blood is gunna try to persuade Blackfire away from Slade. That won't fair well.

While the Titans are occupied with Brother Blood, I sneak over to Slade and shake him, "Come on Slade," I whisper.

He opens his eye and I hand him his mask. He puts it on quickly and says, "What happened?"

I point to Blood, "We have company. Bropther Blood is here, he may try to take Blackfire, and you and her aren't exactly on good terms."

"Darn it..." He whispers.

I can tell that he's frustrated, frustrated that Blood's here, that he may lose Blackfire, that he lost Speedy, and that I may be the only one on his team. Odds are against us, but I have faith that Slade is already concocting a plan.

I just hope it works.

Day 2, 12:34

It looks like all chaos broke loose. I seem to be in the middle of an enormous fight with Brother Blood, and some giant army of anti-heroes. A bad day isn't even the word for it.
I fire a couple stun-arrows into the air, aiming at the HIVE members. A couple hit and release the knockout gas, which soon begins to cloud the area.
"Alright," I mutter. "So where's Slade?"
Slade. I just remembered him. Where is he?
I see Terra hovering out of the tower with Slade next to her.
She is, in my book, a total psychopath. I've got to take her down.
I fire a grapple-arrow at the chunk of rock outside, and begin to fly through the air. Terra doesn't seem to notice me--too busy with her rock trick-- so now it's time to climb.
I move my hands over the cable, slowly working my way up. I'm about halfway there when she notices me.
She just stares at me for a couple seconds.
"Who's side are you on, anyway?" she asks.
I'm silent. "I really...don't know...so tired..." It's working. She lets me up, and I look down at Slade.
"Hey, is he oka--"
WHAM
I'm falling back down to the ground. My lie failed. I am going to die today...unless...
There's a building coming closer and closer...if I can just hit it with my grapple-arrow...
There! I hit! I climb onto the building.
I need to do two things: Help out the Titans, and find out who Jericho is...

Day 2 12:35 pm

I tell Star she's right so I can hide the fact that I've been shot. None of the other's seem to know. It wasn't a deep shot, I could pull the arrow out if I wanted to. But I don't know if I should. Some of the books I've read say to pull an arrow out if you get shot with one, some say to push it through. My vision is going hazy, the shot wasn't deep but that doesn't mean it doesn't hurt. I know that within seconds I'll be unconscious, but before I go down into darkness, I see a dark figure in a cloak rushing towards me. Raven? Is she ok? Then my mind stopped functioning and I fell to the floor.

IC: Brother Blood
Day 2 12:35 pm

"Hello my freind Cyborg and how are you?" I ask gleefully. Cyborg runs and throws a punch at me. I move out of the way at the last second. I notice that Slade and his little toy, Terra, are leaving. Perfect it seems that Slade knows he can't compete with me. This is abut to get intersting as I notice that someone has let Raven escape. Oh you will pay Jed. I pull off my robes and prepare to fight.

[ShadowOfAGhost]

OOC: RE: arrows
push it through or pull it out? tht depends on the kind of arrow head. if it is smooth and round like a bullet, you pull it strait out. If it has barbs (like on the end of a fish hook) and the barb has entered the skin you push it through, cut off the end, and then pull the rest out of the origional wound. If the barb is still out of the skin, pull it strait out.

I stand in the mass of a large army of students...minions...whatever they are. Questioning how I got myself into this mess, I watch as a young, blonde-haired girl flies away on a rock with a battered Slade at here side. Terra. It must be. But what's she doing with Slade? Last I heard she was on the Titan's side.Oh, there's Raven. I thought she was captured...oh well. It's not my problem. From what I see that's the best place to be. What if I could be?

I prepare my plan and ignore Blood and that doofus-face mechatronic idiot babble and groan at each other. I begin to creep the crowd on my six-legged machine. Hopefully this will work, and no one will notice. Good. I knew Raven would try to make it back to the tower. Quietly, I creep up behind her and grab her from behind. I place my hand on her mouth.

"Don't make a sound."

Gizmo grabs me from behind and jabs one of his gadgets into my back. Probably a gun of some sort. Too risky to use my powers.

"How lucky of me to snag the sexy one," said Gizmo slyly. THE LITTLE BASTARD! "Come on. You're mine now."

As Gizmo inches slowly backward, keeping his weapon on me. I concentrate, hoping Gizmo won't notice. I reach out and telepathically call Jed, who is the closest to me. He turns around and his eyes widened, apparently just glimpsing me swing around the corner. I just hope he gets here in time to stop Gizmo from doing whatever he's planning.

IC: Robin

12:40 pm Day Two



Voices, telling me pleading me to wake up.

“Robin, Robin wake up!” A terrified woman’s voice. I try to open my eyes to see the woman speaking but my eyelids are too heavy. I know her voice, it’s so familiar. My mother. This thought gives me strength, I open my eyes. My team is still fighting although I think now Cyborg and BB have noticed my injury. I make eye contact with Cy who rushes over to me.

“…Have to pull… arrow.” Is all I hear, but I understand, he’s gonna pull out Speedy’s arrow.

“D-do it now.” I say still in pain. I brace myself as Cyborg’s metal hand grabs the weapon. I feel the arrow being yanked out of my shoulder and more blood pours down my arm. “T-thanks.” I say weakly. Cyborg shakes his head.

“Go up to the infirmary and stop the bleeding at all costs.”

“But you guys-”

“No! Go now we can handle this.” I can tall Cyborg really wishes that I wasn’t hurt so I could help but he fears for my life. But I would give it for my friends. I stand up shakily and make my way towards the medical wing. I can barley make it to the staircase before I fall in pain.

Star spots me and gasps but picks me up and flies me to the medical room. Things are going hazy again but I keep myself from falling unconscious. Star is frantically flitting around the infirmary trying to find something to stop me from bleeding.

“Gauze… in the top cabinet… on left.” Star understands and wraps my shoulder up tightly in most of the gauze. “Pain killer… in the next cabinet,” I direct her again. “T-two pills.” Star hands me the pills and helps me gulp down some water.

I can think clearly now.

“Go back to the others, they need you.”

“No I shall not leave you, you are in pain and badly damaged. I shall not permit you to-”

“Star I know how bad I’m looking right now, but if you don’t go back down there everyone will end up looking like me, maybe even worse.” Star’s eyes fill with tears as she turns her back on me and exits the room, leaving me to my mixed up thoughts.

I head out of the infirmiry and down the stairs to rejoin the fray. there is nothing I can do to change Robin's mind. once he sets his mind he will not alow it to change. I am secretly horrified by the blood Robin has lost. I tried my hardest not to let it show in front of him, but I was raised to never lie and so I am not good at it.

I am almost at the bottom of the stairs when a new thought occurs to me. This new thought gives me replenished vigor and will to fight strong and brave.

If I am not victorious, Robin could die.

Location: Top of some random warehouse.

I look over at Jinx. Her eyes are closed and she is humming softly. I want to ask her a question, but I don't want to break her concentration. She hums on, and I get sick of it.

"How long until we can use the portal?" She opens one eye. When she speaks, her voice is a continuation of the hum. How irritating!

"Just a bit more. We can't make the whole jump at once. It's too far. So we'll make two jumps, with a five minute cool-down between."

"What do I do during those five minutes?" She closes her eye again.

"I don't know. Tell me a story." She hums on. To amuse myself, I start my kata with my X-and-chain. It isn't long before Jinx speaks again.

"Ok, we can go. I've found a spot to rest on during cool-down."

"Good," I say. "I'm ready when you are." She places her hand on my shoulder and everything goes black.

(Location change: On a small, rocky hill somewhere between Jump City and HIVE HQ)

The black fades to pink, which fades to white. I blink my eyes several times, and the world comes into focus. Jinx is sitting on a large flat rock. I am standing several feet to her left. I move to the rock and sit beside her. She says nothing, so I begin.

"Years ago, I lived with my parents in Connecticut. I had a decent existance by most standards..." Jinx cut me off.

"What are you doing?" I smile behind my mask.

"You told me to tell you a story, so that's what I'm going to do."

"Oh." She shuts her eyes, and I continue.

"Life was great. Or so I thought. One day, Mom went to work and she never came back. Dad and I learned that she ran off with the guitar player from some cheap local rock-n-roll band. Dad started drinking, and I was ignored. That's when I started stealing. At first, I did it because I had no other way to care for myself. I was completely ignored by everyone. Then, I realized how good I was. There was nothing I wanted that I couldn't get. I was suddenly the master of my own destiny. So, I left what little I had and became a nobody. I travelled across the country, stealing whatever I wanted. Nobody could touch me."

"Must have been fun," she hummed. "The Titans always get in the way whenever I try to take something."

"I was too good for the local cops," I continued. "I was too good for the state troopers. Nobody could touch me. Nobody. I was the ultimate. Eventually, small stuff got borring, though. So I made my way to Jump City. I'd heard about the Titans. I even knew about Red X, from a top secret dosier I'd stollen. So I stole Red X. I became Red X. And Robin was the first person to ever take anything from me. That's why I hate him." I was silent for a few moments. "And now, thanks to you, I have the belt back. Robin has been defeated! There is nothing that we cannot do. And if the Titans try to stop us...we'll stop them."

"That's one thing I've never managed." Her eyes are still shut.

"All right, Miss Cheery. I'll do this on my own, then."

"Oh, no you won't," she said, standing up. "The portal's usable again. You ready to do this?" I grin under the mask, then realize she can't see my mouth.

"Absolutely."

"Let's go, then." She stretches out her hand...and black.

Holding my weapon close to her back, I hold Raven aside, and threaten her life if she doesn't obey. She's probably got someone on me by now, but if I can just convince her...

"Do one thing for me and you won't get hurt." I tell her that iff she screams I'll kill her, and lift my hand off her mouth.

"what's that?" she asks, sarcastically.

"I want you to convince your friends that I'm on your side. I just need to get away from that stupid Brother Blood."

"whatever..." There's something up. I know it. Wait! to the right. A shadow. She looks up and yells, "Jed!"

"Terra," I say trying to get her attention.

"Yes Master?" She says in return.

"I beleive it's time we leave home turf." I say with a smug grin on my face.

My thoughts were exactly as I said. We need to take action. Brother Blood is more than occupied at the Tower with the Titans. It's the perfect time to strike.

Away from the battle at Titans Tower
---------------------------------
As Jed grabs my arm and attempts to pull me away from my assailent, I seize my oppertunity to send the back of my fist into his face. I connect, knocking him backward, but one of his mechanical legs connects with my face. knocking me into the wall. Gizmo straightens and shoots me with a blue beam. The beam hits my chest. I try to move, but can't. I'm paralyzed!

My eyes, however, do work. I see Gizmo turn to face Jed, only to be staring down the barrel of Jed's blaster. Gizmo dives out of the way, but he is not quick enough. Jed fires his blaster, destroying one of Gizmo's mechanical legs.

"Oh, it's on now snotmuncher" shouts Gizmo, clearly taking offense to having some of his machinery destroyed."

Jed smiles, "Bring it scuzball." Gizmo just gapes at him, apparenly never having been matched insult-for-insult before.

"If you wanted to hack me off, it's just happened," says Gizmo, "Time for the beating of your miserable life!"

Day 2
Bursting into the Window of Titans Tower

Man, it feels like it's been 9 days since I've been at Titans' Tower, even though it's just been a half-hour. Time sure flies when your really, really, not having fun. I burst into the window of Titan's Tower, firing stun arrows at all of Brother Blood's minions, being careful not to actually hurt them. Actually, the battle looks like it's going pretty well, especially with Green Arrow. I only see abou 10-15 more H.I.V.E. students. I count down as I stun each of them.
11...10...9...8...7...6...5...4...3--
I'm smashed onto the ground. I know instantly who it is by the smell. Mammoth.
He smiles at me evilly.
"Mammoth kill Arrow-boy."
"Really?" I ask. "OH MY GOD WHAT'S THAT?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?"
Oldest trick.
I stab him in the back with a small temp. paralysis arrow.
Brother Blood screams, his voice carrying through the Tower.
"You damn fools! I will kill you all! How dare you defy the Dark Lord Mordru!"
Oh crap. I didn't know that...it was...Mordru. Green Arrow told me about him once. He's supposed to be this all-powerful, immortal sorcerer. And he either is or was impersonating Brother Blood.
It leaves one question, however. Where is Brother Blood.

Day 2
Titans Tower

The punch I throw at Blood misses. I transform my arm and charge up my sonic cannon. Blood rushes at me with a yell, leaping in the air and thrusting his foot into my chest. I skid back, metal feet emitting a loud screech. As I continue to slide, I throw out my arm and shoot a metallic blue ray at Blood's chest. Smirking, he flicks out his hand and causes a red forcefield that richochets the blast back at my head.

I roll out of the way, letting the blast hit the wall. A large hole appears, showing the serene view of the bay and cityscape. I glance at it for a moment, only to turn around and see Blood rushing at me. I shoot another blast from my sonic cannon at him, but he quickly creates another forcefield and causes the shot to hit some other lucky target. I dodge a similtanious punch and kick my from my enemy.

This was going to take a lot longer than I thought.

"Bring it scuzball!" Ouch! Ok, he's gonna get it now. I turn to check if Raven is still here and turn back. I retract my mechanical legs and turn my pack into a jet pack. Zooming into the air, I fly straight at Jed and shoot a small missile at him. He dodges that, but not my foot. The sole of my boot collides directly with the middle of his forehead, and he falls back, catching himself.

Jed stands up and runs for me. I zoom around with my jet pack as he tries to swing at me, all the while making sure that Raven goes nowhere. He swings again, and i drop to the ground in front of him and try an uppercut. He predicts my move and kicks me directly in the chest. "Do it!" Jed calls to Raven, and I am surrounded by her power. She throws me against a wall, and smasshes my pack.

"Crap!" I yell directly at the insolent girl, "That's another one you stupid, ignorant idiots have ruined! You're paying for the next..." Jed's foot hits the side of my head, and my vision is blurred. Slowly, it slips, and so do I-from consciousness, that is. I fall from the wall to the ground, as Raven has decided to let go. Finally, my vision becomes nothing but blackness, and my thoughts: non-existent.

1:05PM, Day 2

Well, life should be getting interesting soon enough…but probably not in a good way.

Somehow I managed to survive the eleven-hour flight from Montpellier to Jump City with my sanity still intact, and I got through one of the most infamously secure airports in the world in less than fifteen minutes and whilst carrying a gun. Admittedly, this gun is my own special concoction, made from super-tough plastic rather than metal, so the fact that I managed to smuggle it through two airports is perhaps unsurprising. Anyway, once out of the airport I took a taxi to the docks, which is as close as I can get to the giant “T”-shaped tower out in the bay – I’m not exactly sure why, but I’m guessing that it’s the Teen Titans’ HQ – without it looking all too obvious as to the fact that it’s where I want to be going to.

Of course, one quick look at the tower is enough to ruin my good mood. I’m now standing by the bay’s edge, thankfully all on my tod, and it looks for all the world like world war three has erupted inside that building. Holes have been torn through the walls in all sorts of places, and, even though I can’t see any of the figures from here, the lights, bangs and smoke that are still pouring out of all these holes give enough of a clue as to what’s still going on. I don’t shirk fights, that’s for certain, but my chances of walking inside that building and walking back out again are limited. But still, if I want the Titans’ help, which I do, then I’m going to have to get in there and find out what’s going on. Ho hum.

I jump off the jetty and into the water, and then begin my long swim to the tower.

OOC: OK! DC Comics nerd comin' through! (carries in enormous DC Comics Encyclopedia.)

Mordru, AKA the Dark Lord: OK, according to this and his appearences on JLU, he is an all-powerful sorcerer. He is supposedly immortal, never born and never will die. And all that mythical stuff. His powers are immpossible to count, considering that he can use his magics to do pretty much anything he can possibly imagine. He's evil, and extremely dangerous. He takes many appearences, but is most commonly a bald man with dark eyes and a goatee.

IC: Red X
Time: 1:05 PM That day
Location: HIVE Academy

Jinx and I appear in the middle of somewhere at the HIVE Academy. I don't think I've ever seen it before. Strange...I though I'd been everywhere. I whisper to Jinx:
"Where are we?"

"We're outside my room. Brother Blood's quarters are due south and up." I nod, and we start down the hallway. Suddenly something clicks in my mind.

"You brought me to the girls' dorm! No wonder I've never been here! No guys are allowed here!" I flap my arms. Jinx promptly slaps my face. At least it would have been my face if I wasn't wearing the mask.

"Hush. If you want to call attention to us, that's a great way to do it. Just 'cause Brother B's out doesn't mean he took everyone with him." Slightly embarassed, I say nothing. We make our way down the corridor, until Jinx motions me to stop. I do, and she points to a grate in the ceiling. I understand what she means - we have to go through the ventilation system. Rapidly moving our hands in all kinds of strange ways, we communicate to each other that I need to melt the grid and then Jinx will stand on my shoulders and crawl in. She should be able to pull me up afterward. I want to ask her why we can't just use grapling hooks, but she clearly indicated that we weren't to speak.
After all the climbing and pulling and melting and crawling, we drop down into a large open room with a hideous yellow theme. I land beside Jinx and give her the "where the heck are we?" signal. Finally, she speaks.

"This is Brother Blood's main room. I've only ever been here twice. Once, spying on him and Bumble Bee, once to...falsify some records."

"You failed a class?" I almost laugh.

"That's not polite to talk about. Besides. Check my record. It's perfect." This time I do laugh, and Jinx desides to ignor me. When I have expended my mirth, I ask her something else.

"Which room is the bathroom?"

"I have no idea. We'll just have to search them all," she says, pointing to the seven different doors. "I know this one here is the exit, so you start with the one to the right of it, and I'll start with the one to the left of it." I agree to this idea and we begin our searches. My first door is the record room. The second is a closet of some kind - lots of yellow and white robes and a few red "warrior suits." Nothing to interest me. Jinx hasn't found anything yet either.

I open the third door. Success! It's the bathroom. And there they are - the gold plated comb and brush of Brother "Fancy Hair" Blood.

"Bingo!" I shout out to my partner. I step inside to retrieve our goods. Suddenly, I am struck with the most unexpected sight in the world. There is Brother Blood himself, trussed up like a turkey and standing tip-toe on top of the john with a noose around his neck. He is making grunting noises and I see that he is gagged. I shout out to Jinx, and she comes running.

"What the hell?" are the first words out of her mouth. Being a good partner, of course I answer her.

"It looks like somebody caught old Brother B off guard, tied him up, and put him on top of the john. See? If his feet happen to slip or cramp, or he just gets worn out, he'll strangle." She stares at me for a second before asking the obvious question.

"Well, aren't you going to cut him down?"

"Uh...yeah." I move over to the toilet and climb up next to our former headmaster. With one deft move, I slice through the rope, and he tumbles to the ground. Jinx removes the gag from his mouth, and he immediatelly begins shouting. The most I can make out is that he's mad at us for coming in his room, mad at me for not immediatelly freeing him, and mad at somebody for putting a restraining collar on him. Indeed, he still is wearing it - some sort of damper that restricts his metal powers. All his bonds are made of this material. They glow red and fade to black again.

"...so take this bloody damper off me!" he finishes. I look at Jinx. I look at the damper around Brother B's neck. I look back at Jinx.

"Uh...this collar is very advanced. I need to find some tools to take it off. Come on Jinx." I dash out of the room, followed by Jinx and Brother Blood's curses.

When we are safely out of earshot, I turn to my partner.

"What do we do Jinx?"

"Huh?"

"What are we going to do? He obviously hasn't heard from us since he sent me out to find you. So he doesn't know we aren't working for him. He doesn't know that he's supposed to be at Titans' Tower. I could have taken that collar off him in ten seconds. But I didn't. What are we going to do now?"

She looks at me with a puzzeled look, and opens her mouth. Any words that might have come out are drowned by an earsplitting claxon. I mutter a curse under my breath as I run over to Brother Blood's security control pannel. The time reads 13:14. I click the button to switch to security camera view. It begins to cycle through the cameras. I know that Blood has at least two hundred.

"Faster! Faster!" Suddenly I see it. This time, I scream a curse. Jinx runs to my side.

"What is it?" I point to the screen. One name escapes our mouths simultaneously.

"Slade."

OOC: Ok, I hope that does it. Raven37, the choice of what to do with BroB is up to you. I'll play it either way. Also, welcome Crowgirl. Nice to see you taking part. It's also good to see Michael back in motion, Matt. Can't wait to see what he has in mind.

Day 2
Going back to the battle.
---------------------------------------
Jed suspends Gizmo from the ceiling with some rope from his belt to prevent him from escaping once he regains consciousness. "Let's go," I say, turning to leave, "We have to help the Titans."

Before I can move, however, Jed grabs my arm, stopping me. "A 'thank you' would be nice," he said with a smile.

"We don't have time for this," I say heatedly, "We have to get back to the battle."

"I'm not letting you leave until you say it," he said. "We must learn some manners."

I sigh. "Fine. Thank you. Can we go now?"

"Lead the way," he says. As I run down the hallway, my cloak billowing out behind me, I begin to wonder about Jed. It seemed like he was stalling me from getting back to the fight. Could he actually be working for Brother Blood? If he's not, then what's his deal. Before I can muse any further, we have arrived back at the fight.

Starfire is standing right next to the doorway. She blasts a H.I.V.E. soldier with a starbolt, rendering him unconscious. "Raven," asks Starfire as she blasts another soldier, "You have healing powers, correct?"

"Yes," I yell over the blast of Cyborg's sonic cannon, "why?"

"Robin is seriously injured. He is in the infirmary."

"I'm on it," I say. Before I leave, I turn to Jed. "You going to ba all right?"

Jed holds his blaster up and pumps it. "Do I look like it?" he asks with a smile. I smile slightly and nod before turning to leave. I'm able to reach the other side of the room with some help from Cyborg and Beast Boy, and I run to where Starfire says Robin is. Left, right, up, right, left, up, left... The infirmary door looms up in front of it and it swishes open.

Robin is laying on one of the beds, his left shoulder heavily bandaged. He spots me enter and jumps slightly. "Raven!" he says, surprised, "Why are you up here."

"Starfire sent me up here to heal you," I say monotonously.

"I told her not to worry about me," says Robin in frustration.

I cock my head to the right slightly. "Why would you do that? It looks really bad. Plus, this is Starfire we're talking about. She'll be worried about you no matter what you tell her. Here, let me heal you."

I walk over and slowly unwrap Robin's shoulder. He grimaces, but does not move. I put my hand a couple of inches above his shoulder and chant in my head Azarath Metrion Zinthos. Soft, purple light comes out of my hand and envelops his wound. The blood evaporates, the abrasion knits itself together...Good as new.

He windmills his arm around to check that he's fully healed and flexes his arm muscles. "Thanks a lot, Raven," says Robin, "Now we have to go kick some butt."

We turn and run back down to the brawl, making it in less than a minute. As Robin enters the room, alarms start going off in my head. I clutch it and stumble a bit. "Raven," he says, noticing be stumble, "What's wrong?"

"Somebody else just entered the Tower."

"Do you know who it is."

"No. We've never come in contact with them before."

"Well," says Robin, smiling uncertainly, "Let's just hope they're with us. Not against us."

Day two

I notice the security camera in front of us turn slowly towards us, it stopping on Slade and I.

I look up to Slade, it doesn't seem to bother him. So, I take the apportune and take it out, using some of the Earth located behind me fromwhere we busted in.

He nods to me, then continues down the hall.

I look around. The halls look so familiar... it sickens me to think that I was unpetrified by these lowlifes. And they thought I'd stay here? HA! That makes me laugh.

I follow Slade down the hallway, him stopping to glance around the corner every now and then.

I could tell that Blood was here... but how could he have gotten here? We'd been monitering the battle at Titans Tower... and he was there. There were others here besides us, whether they were here for serious bussiness like Slade and I, or for trivial matters, I didn't know.

But I wasn't gunna leave till my orders from Slade had been fufilled.

Time/Place: H.I.V.E Headquarters 1:05pm



I walk out of the bathroom I was tied up in and curse under my breath. Who knew Jed was a spy? Well he will be killed shortly by my fully robotic replacement. Thanks to Cyborg for giving me the idea.

“Get this damn collar off will me will you two?” I shout at Jinx and Red X. They whip around and stare at me for a few seconds. Then X hurries over to me and takes off the collar.

Jinx has a worried look in her eyes. She continually looks over her shoulder at the security cameras.

“What’s going on here?” I demand.

“W- Well Slade just kinda broke into the Headquarters.” Jinx stutters slightly. She’s still scared of me. I curse again. I then use my mental powers on Jinx.

“Go take care of him!” I yell as her eyes glow a red to match my own. Red X swears behind me. “What are you yelling about?”

“I forgot that you have control over Jinx’s mind.” he explains.

“And why would that matter to you? I had control over you once remember?”

“Go to hell!” he shouts at me. I understand what’s going on.

“Mmm I knew it wouldn’t be long. But you see my friend; you will never get Jinx on your side. She can not break my control, she is not as smart or as strong as you are I’m afraid.”

“Don’t talk about her like that!” X screams at me.

“Ah do I sense a weakness?” I ask. It would be fun to toy with Red X’s emotions, very fun. X runs at me and throws out some x-shaped Japanese star like things at me. I block them lazily with my powers. “You’re going to have to do better than that.” I inform him. He yells and dives towards me. The fight is on.

IC: Michael Spicer
1:08PM, Day 2

I stagger onto the rocky beach surrounding the tower, thoroughly soaked to the skin by my three-minute sprint through the muddy waters of the bay. I’m much more athletic than I sometimes think, thank God, so I’m still fresh enough to keep going towards all the fuss inside the building. I walk around the side of this massive tower until I get to the front door, and seeing as a large hole is now where it most probably was I don’t have to worry about opening it.

Leaning as close to the outside wall as I can manage, I take a quick peek round the edge of the hole. Inside are hundreds of broken robots and unconscious human bodies, and standing in the midst of all of them is quite possibly the weirdest bloke I’ve ever come across. He looks like a Harry Potter extra that forgot to return the wizard’s outfit, but the thousands of lights and all sorts of other things that are coming out of his staff make it clear that he’s no actor. Six teenagers in a variety of near-camp outfits are hiding in behind various walls and pillars in this massive entrance hall, leaning out from their covers to take the occasional potshot at the wizard. These kids have got some serious kit on them, but seeing as they already have the wizard’s full attention he’s just blocking their shots with almost painful ease.

Thankfully, no one yet knows that I’m here, so maybe I can get a hit in. If I take this guy down, maybe the Teen Titans – who these six kids surely are – will be willing to give me the information on Slade that I need. It’s too much to hope for, but right now this highly dodgy plan is the only one that I’ve got.

I spin back out of sight again to check that my trusty handgun is loaded and ready for firing. Taking a deep breath before I do, I lean round the edge of the hole once more and quickly fire off a single shot. It hits the wizard in the back off the head, and he goes down like a sack of spuds. Bizarrely, there’s no blood, but right now the possibility that he’s just playing dead isn’t one that I intend to contemplate. The fight – which, from what little I saw, was of epic proportions – is now over, and I can finally start work.

And, just like that, it's all over. Mordru takes a shot in the back of the head, and collapses. After an epic battle, the whole thing's over. But who is that guy, anyway?
I walk up to him, asking his name.
"Michael. Michael Spicer."
The name hits a chord with me. I don't know what seems so fimiliar about it, it just reminds me of something.
"You saved our lives. Thanks, Spicer," Robin says. "You probably already know who I am."
"Yeah, you're Robin."
We introduce ourselves. Beast Boy, Cy, Starfire, Jed and Raven.
Jed. What a jerk,I think to myself. I should be the one to date Raven, not him.
Thinking that was obviously a mistake, as Raven frowns at me, giving me the "I've read your thoughts" look.
I grin sheepishly, then get back to matters at hand. At this point, Robin is telling Spicer about Slade, everything we know about him. Which reminds me, I still have the deactivated apprentice-suit on. I walk up to my room in the Tower and change into my normal clothes, and suddenly I'm reminded of something.
Jericho. Slade whispered that to me as I knocked him out. I turn on my computer and begin some serious hacking. I need to find out who this Jericho person is, and find out fast. He could be the key to finding out who Slade really is...

He's a fully mortal 30-year-old Englishman, rather than an immortal 500-year-old Spaniard: he's still a ruthless, deadly and amoral assassin, so at least the core part of his personality has been kept. There, that's any potential confusion resolved.)

IC: Michael Spicer
1:08PM, Day 2

I walk inside what’s left of the Titans Tower, and idly poke the wizard’s body with my foot. There’s still no blood, but right now the possibility of him still being alive isn’t something that needs to concern me.

A boy wearing some kind of steel armour and carrying a bow and arrow walks up to me. “Who are you?” he asks me. He obviously wasn’t expecting my arrival then…

“Michael. Michael Spicer.” It’s not the coolest introduction that I could have used, but it’s the best that I can manage at short notice.

Another boy, this time wearing the infamous “Robin” suit, also heads in my direction. Based on what little I already know of the Teen Titans, this guy is their leader, and very worthy of my respect. “You saved our lives. Thanks, Spicer.” he says. “You probably already know who I am.”

“Yeah, you’re Robin.”

The other Titans come forward to introduce themselves: there’s Beast Boy, Cyborg, Rave, Starfire, Jed and Speedy, the guy with the bow and arrow. The only ones that I haven’t already heard of are Jed and Speedy, but I don’t have time for introductions right now. For reasons unknown to myself, Raven and Speedy exchange odd looks, and then Speedy heads off to wherever.

“It seems that we owe you one, Spicer.” Robin says.

“Call me Michael. I’ve never been one to stand on formalities.”

“Alright, Michael. What can we do to help you?”

Well, it seems that everything is finally going to plan…“I’m here in Jump City on behalf of the American government. They want me to find a guy called Slade, who seems to have suddenly done something to offend them. The only thing that I know about him is that his main enemies are you guys, so I was hoping that you would be able to help me.”

“Well, apart from the fact that he’s smart, well-funded, well-organized and very dangerous, there isn’t that much to say. If you want his current whereabouts, which I guess that you do, then head to the old cement factory on the outskirts of town. That’s his current base of operations, as far as I’m aware.”

An idea suddenly hits me. “I don’t know my way around Jump City at all, so do you mind coming with me? Besides, I could probably use the help.” Well, that’s a lie, really, but it never hurts to throw in a small compliment here and there.

Robin smiles. “Yeah, sure. It’s always good to help serve our government.” Suddenly, I’m not so keen on this guy.

Us two head outside, leaving the other Teen Titans to do whatever it is that needs doing. Neither of us have a two-seater car to hand, so we’re forced to walk across the drawbridge to the mainland.

It only halfway across that Robin asks the obvious question. “What do you want to do to Slade, anyway?”

“Quite simply, I’m here to kill him.” Based on the look on Robin’s face, that wasn’t the answer he expected.

Day2
Titans Tower
----------------------------------------
Michael Spicer. Quite a shady character if you ask me. Something tells me I don't know the whole story. I've been suspicious before, but this is extreme. Making it a point to stay between Jed and Speedy, I surround this Mordru character in my black energy. "What do you think I should do with this guy?" I ask to nobody in particular.

"Take him down stairs," says Cyborg nonchalantly, "We do have some pretty high tech cells down there."

"Right." I approach the door and, just as I'm about to leave, I see Speedy and Jed go through another door, apparently deep in conversation. Great. Since Speedy seems to think there's something between me and Jed, I doubt it's going to end well. If that is indeed what they're talking about.

I turn back and carefully guide Mordru through the door. I slowly make my way through the winding hallways and staircases, toward our prison complex. Carefully, I guide Mordru's body into a cell, gently lay him down on the little metal slab we call a bed, and back out. As I hit a button on the wall next to me, beams of energy shoot down and form bar-like structures. I hope that holds him.

I wonder just who exactly this Mordru is. If I figure out what his powers are and why Spicer's bullet didn't splatter his brains all over the wall, maybe I can find a way to neutralize him. Well, time to research.

[Kregor8]

OOC: I need some clarification before I can post my next part. Red X is fighting BroB in the HIVE Academy, Slade is invading. I know that. But what's going on with T's Tower and all that Jazz? Robot? Mordue? What? I can't tell, and I can't write till I know.
Also, DJ, I had finished mine by the time you edited yours. Turned out I didn't need to leave when I thought. Ehehehehe...oops. Still, it didn't matter in the end.
I'll edit this post with my piece once I understand what I'm supposed to assume about BroB. It will be IC: Red X, Location: HIVE, Time: 1:08 PM. Fight scene, BroB v. RedX. But I need to know stuff before I can do that. Somebody who understands, PM me or something. Or post it here for the benefit of everyone. Thanx!

[Kregor8]

OOC: Brother Blood screams, his voice carrying through the Tower.
"You damn fools! I will kill you all! How dare you defy the Dark Lord Mordru!"
Oh crap. I didn't know that...it was...Mordru. Green Arrow told me about him once. He's supposed to be this all-powerful, immortal sorcerer. And he either is or was impersonating Brother Blood.
It leaves one question, however. Where is Brother Blood. Ok, that's where I got it from. Ok...for all you, here's a summary of what's going on. Thanks go out to DJ and Aquagirl for setting me straight.
Brother Blood created a robot for himself that he was using to send into tough battles. Sometime after he sent out Red X to find Jinx and the battle at Titans' Tower, a mighty wizard named Mordru busted into HIVE, tied up Blood as described in my post, and impersonated him by means of the Robot. When things got tough in the battle at Titans' Tower, Mordru destroyed the robot and revealed his wizard form. He was taken down by Spicer, who shot him though the head. He can't really be killed, but is now in a prison cell at Titans' Tower.

I'll post my new IC tonight. I need to go. Hope you all understand.

Day 2
12:49pm



I’m finally here at JumpCity. The police here seem to take katanas as a serious threat as they tried to take mine away when I boarded for the city, but after much arguing they finally let me trough. I am so glad I am a super hero and not some regular Joe. I’m standing on a skyscraper overlooking the city, within my view is Titans Tower. This must have been what the Mas Y Menos was talking about.



It was a bear translating Spanish to Japanese. I’m fluent in English but know next to nothing about Spanish so even knowing what language those kids were talking in was annoying. It took me nearly three days to decipher their babble into the warning they were trying to give me. I assess the situation from a distance. I can see an army approaching the tower, Brother Blood’s no doubt. I can barely make out a disturbance with the forces. Looks like a fights going on. The tower itself is pretty messed up and it looks like the battles not over yet inside. I jump off the skyscraper and start running down the building.



This won’t be easy. First I have to see what Blood’s forces amount to; then check for any potential weaknesses, only then will I make my presence known to Blood, much less the Titans.



Looks like I’ve got my work cut out for me.

[rrarbecy]

uh...uh, dude, I think the battle ended at, like, 1:08

[Vivace]

((OOC:oops. I made this before 1:08 so and then sent it in to see if it was okay to join the RPG. Then 1:08 came along and I kinda missed it. Off to EDIT time!))

[Kregor8]

IC: Red X
Location: HIVE Academy
Time: 1:08 PM (This day is going to be over sometime. Nobody can keep up a schedule like this!)

Jinx and I are staring at the security screens in disbelief when Brother Blood walks out of the bathroom. I don't notice him until he shouts at us.

“Get this damn collar off will me will you two?” We both spin around. Dang! I'd forgotten about him. I glace over at Jinx in the corner of my eye. She gives me half a shrug and I walk over and disconnect the collar.

I walk over to another control panel that is behind Brother Blood. Jinx stays put, glancing over her shoulder at the screens ever few seconds. Brother Blood is just standing there with his hands on his hips, doing his best "I'm-the-headmaster-so-fear-me" look.

“What’s going on here?” he growls in a low voice. I turn to speak, but Jinx beats me to it.

“W- Well Slade just kinda broke into the Headquarters,” she stutters slightly. I guess Blood's intimidation is working on her.

“Go take care of him!” He yells. From behind Brother Blood, I shake my head no, but Jinx doesn't respond. Her eyes glow red and she responds in a monotonous voice,

"Yes, Headmaster." I curse inwardly. I forgot about that stupid power too! Brother Blood turns to face me.

"What are you yelling about?" I guess I didn't curse as inwardly as I thought. I decide the game is up.

“I forgot that you have control over Jinx’s mind.”

“And why would that matter to you? I had control over you once remember?” Ooh, I hate that man. His sneer, his "headmaster" attitude, his perfect hair.

“Go to hell!” I shout. He gets the message very quickly.

“Mmm, I knew it wouldn’t be long. But you see my friend; you will never get Jinx on your side. She can not break my control, she is not as smart or as strong as you are I’m afraid.” He's wrong. I know he's wrong. And even if she can't do it on her own, I should be able to snap her out of it. Slade's mind-control was easy enough to break, once I figured out what to do.

“Don’t talk about her like that!” I practically scream at him. Oops. Shouldn't show so much emotion. He'll end up using it against me. Why did I do that, anyway? I don't care about her that much, do I?

“Ah, do I sense a weakness?” I knew he'd think that. Maybe he's right. I'll have to ask Jinx...no, that would be stupid. Three stupid things in one day is three times more than my quota. I dash towards him and throw three throwing-Xs. He blocks them with some kind of red shield. Never seen him do that before.

“You’re going to have to do better than that,” he sneers. Giving an ancient Japanese war-cry, I fly towards him, right foot extended and left ready to deliver the follow-up. Unfortunately for me, Brother Blood is much faster than I thought. He grabs my leg and tosses me with little apparent effort across the room. I hit the wall with both feet and catapult myself back at my opponent. This had better not take to long.

Blood sidesteps my blow, but didn't see the ninja-X I tossed his way as I flew by. It strikes him right in the shoulder, and he growls with pain. Ripping the weapon out, he hurls it back at me at roughly a gazillion times the speed I threw it at him. Fortunately, I had just pulled out my X-and-chain, and the knife struck one of the points on my weapon. It tore the Xs out of my hand and pinned them to the wall, ripping the outer layer of my glove in the process. Since my gloves are very well armored, I didn't get cut, but I can't pull the Xs off the wall. Now I'm worried.

Brother Blood pulls of his teaching robes, revealing a red suit that won't restrict his movements. My odds are quickly dropping. He jumps into the air, flipping deftly and landing about two inches in front of me. The second his feet touch the ground, or maybe sooner - I can't tell it's so fast - his fists begin flying at me. Thankfully, I have a good knowledge of martial arts and manage to deflect most of his blows. Unexpectedly, he gets his fist through my guard and stops it a mere centimeter from my esophagus.



“Hmm. Not as good as you though, are you?” he mocks. Then he snaps his hand back, striking me with his palm. I fly right through the wall, landing with a crash in the record room, amidst falling books and papers. Wow. I’ve never seen anyone do that before. I’d heard Brother Blood was good, but I never expected him to be this good. He leaps through the hole after me.



At this point, it is obvious that conventional methods of fighting have failed. Time to move on to the unconventional ones. As my opponent flies toward me, I spray him with sticky X-glue. I don’t expect it to slow him down to much – or at least not directly. The goo covers him, and hardens in milliseconds. As expected, he breaks his limbs free almost instantly. He still has the stuff in his eyes, though, and he lands on a stack of papers and slips. I use this opportunity to bolt out of the room. I take the door and not the hole, because Bro B’s in the way. As I dash towards the exit, I hear his scream from the other room.



“You fool! You’ve ruined my hair!” That reminds me. Jinx and I are running on a 2 for 2 record. We don’t mess up. I quickly change my course to the bathroom. There they are! I grab the comb and brush, stuffing them in my stuff pouch. That is going to make him so angry.



I glance up and see Brother Blood’s reflection in the mirror. His hair is covered in now crusty red goo, and his face is a perfect mask of rage.



“I have you now, you little bugger!” he shouts. It’s time to try a cool trick. I hit the button on the belt that activates the cloaking. I know that Brother Blood has very good eyes, so this will only gain me two or so seconds. That’s all I need, however, and I rush right past him and out the door. Now it’s time to find Jinx. I turn off the cloaking device.



Which way would she have gone, I wonder. Suddenly, I know. There she is in front of me. Normally, this would be a good thing, but this time it isn’t. Jinx was currently the only thing standing between me and Slade, Terra, and a smattering of sentinels.



“Uh, hi,” I offer in greeting. A score of sentinels train their guns on me. The other thirty or so keep their guns on Jinx. I’m not in the mood for taking out robots. I try something else. “Welcome to the HIVE. I’m Red X, and I will be your guide today. Please do not touch any of the fixtures on the walls. First off, we will start with the…” I am interrupted by Terra.



“Cut the comedy act, X. Take us to your headmaster.”



“He’s not my headmaster. You can have him, for all I care.” Terra’s eyebrows rise several millimeters. Seems that she’s doing the speaking for Slade today.



“In that case, will you help us to eradicate him?” I grin under my mask. Of course, she can’t see my grin, but I think she can hear it in my voice.



“No, actually, I just finished up a fight with him. And let me tell you, he’s a tough, scary dude, so I’d be careful if I was you.” She snorts. I motion to Jinx. “Is she ok?”



“I have no idea. She came out here and demanded we stop. She started to say something about Brother Blood and the HIVE and then she just stopped. She’s just been standing there for a minute. We were about to sweep her aside.” At last, some good news. Brother Blood’s battle with me must have weakened his control over her mind. I walk over to her and hoist her onto my shoulder. She is as stiff as a board. Strange. I’ll have to do a little more research on Brother Blood’s mind control.



“Then, I’ll just take her out of your way. You can find…” but what I was going to say suddenly became useless. At that moment, Brother Blood came tearing down the hallway with a roar that would shake very foundation of Titans’ Tower. I duck down a side passage, and Brother Blood proceeds to engage Slade and his forces. I’m sure it will be an interesting battle, but I can’t stay around to watch. Jinx is still in some sort of coma, and I need to get out of here before Brother Blood decides to finish kicking my ass.

OOC: Ok, I guess I'm leaving off at roughly 1:15 or so. Feel free to fight it out however you see best. I hope I manged to stay in present tense...sometimes I forget and shift back to past.
<edit> (Comment on the next post down) Uh...I knew that. Yeah. I definitely knew that.

IC: Gizmo
Time: 2:03 PM
Location: Hanging on a rock then Titans Tower


My eyes open, but only half-way, and my vision isn't exactly the best. For some reason, I can't move my arms, but until I can see it will all be a mystery. Blinking to try and regain my vision, I remember the last time I was conscious. I was fighting Jed, and Raven was behind me...how did I g...Oh. Now I remember! That JERK! Then another thought comes to me. What happened with Blood's attack?

I feel the water splashing on the rocks. SOme of it reaches me, and my eyes finely open. I turn to see my hands tied upward towards the top of the cliff. Maybe I can climb if I can just...reach...my...pack. I push my feet on the rock and try to lift myself. I slip, and I hear a tear above me. I look up. Of course. The rope is ripping. WOnderful, this is just what i need. Slowly the rope rips, finally reaching the inevitable fate it deserves. I splash into the water. Reaching and gasping for air, I finally find it and wipe off my face. JED YOU DIRTBAG!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Pressing a button on my pack, I fly to the top of the cliff and see a desolate battlefield in front of Titans Tower. Just dandy. NOTHING wants to go my way today. Maybe, I can make it into the Tower, besides, no one seems to care about me anyway.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

"No! Listen to me," I plead as the purple witch drags me downstairs to what looks like a prison. "Blood's finished, and I don't even care for the guy anyway. Really! I'm on your side!"

"Sure. That's why you threatened my life to get in here. Now your here, and you can stay as long as you want!" She drops me inside a white box that looks like it was drawn on the floor. White bars of energy come out of the ground and I'm locked in. Raven walks away quickly.

"Please! It was the circumstances and the time. I would never REALLY hurt you. PLEASE!" The insolent young woman slams the door, and the energy from my cell and another are the only lights in the room.

Curious, I peer through my bars into the others. I see a dark cloaked figure sitting upright on the ground. His head is hanging, and he is completely silent. Aha. He could be a help to me.

"Hey! Hey, wizard dude! These slimeheads get you too? HEY! You listening to me." He stares at me with his bright, menacing eyes and speaks.

"I am no...dude. I am Mordru."


OOC: sorry for the time jump, just thought I'd bring the RPG along. Ya'll should still keep the HIVE thing going, and then get back into the new time frame.

IC: Bushido
Time: 1:08pm
Location: On the edge of Titans Isle

I'm finally here. It took me long enough. I really should learn to swim faster. I'll have put that on my to-do list.

I edge along the island keeping to the bushes. And sticking to the what shadows that the after-noon brings. I soon find out that I was a little too late.

Near the tower there is a group of people talking over by Titan's Tower. I sneak closer to listen in to their conversation.

“Michael. Michael Spicer." says one of the men standing there. Something doesn't seem right about him. I can't really place it but he just seems dirty. I take out my katana to make a quick alignment check. It's glowing bright red meaning that either this Micael Spicer is a murderer, or somebody else here is. I doubt the latter seeing as I can make out each other person's identity.

The half-robot is Cyborg, the green man is Best Boy, the alien girl in the skimpy clothing is Starfire, and the one in the purple cloak is Raven. Strange, I see Speedy there but the other one I just can't place. Crap, two unknowns, it looks like either Spicer, or his friend over there is a murderer. I just have to find out which.

I put that detail on hold as I quietly investigate the other parts of the Island. Laying on a rock is a small child, he is either smart or a good thief because of the high-tech gadgets he has on him. I once again take out my katana. It stays at it's natural steel color.

Looks like this guys neutral. (If he was good the blade would have gone blue.) In the coming events he'll have to take a side. I just hope he choses right one. It doesn't matter in the end as this guy got knocked out. If he lost in the battle so he's plainly not strong enough to be a help to either side, at least not now.

Looks like I was way too late to help here. I'll have to take a look at H.I.V.E. to get a real feel for what's happening. I just got to find where it is. So my to do list is: Become a better swimmer, find out who the murderer is, discover which side Mr. Techno-Geek is on, find the location of H.I.V.E., then infiltrate it. Great, now I really got my work cut out for me.

[Kregor8]

IC: Red X
Location: Still in the HIVE Academy
Time: 1:20 PM (We all know what day it is - 2)

I've basically run into a dead end. I'm carrying a Jinx who might as well be a wooden carving, running through halls that I've certainly never seen before. HIVE Academy is HUGE! I never realized how many people Blood could house here - everywhere I've run through for the past few minutes has been empty. Attendance must be low. I stop at yet another fork in the road.

I'm getting very frustrated now - I'm not desperate yet. I'll still find us a way out of here. I lean Jinx against the wall and look down the corridors - first one, then the other.

"What do you think, Jinx? You been here before?" I smack my self in the side of the head. I must be desperate - I'm talking to an inanimate girl. She starts to slip, and I catch her before she can hit the hard, metal floor. I wonder if she would bounce?

I heft her onto my shoulder and start down the corridor - I chose left. I'm glad she's only a slight girl. I try to imagine carrying some of the larger HIVE students. One of the girls here weighs over three hundred pounds, and she's close to eight foot tall.

Ah! Here's a friendly sight - an infirmary. I carry my partner/burden inside and set her on one of the tables. Looking around, I snatch a few different scanners and sensors and stick them all over her head, arms, and a chest. Pushing a few buttons on the control panel, I soon get a reading.



Subject in post-control shock. Level of intensity – 27.54657. Apply counter-measures?



I hope a low number is good and not bad. I hesitate for a moment before pressing “Yes.”



I press the button.



What seem to be thousands of volts of electricity flow over the wires and into Jinx’s body. The arcs of power convulse her and I practically send my fist through the “Cancel procedure” button. Stupid controls! It isn’t stopping.

*zzzt zzzt zzzt zorch*



The power stops, but her body still twitches spasmodically. I flip up my mask and lean over her, checking for any sign of life. The sensors have all come off, and the control panel has a bit of a hole in it…



Her eyes snap open and she grabs me, flinging me over the table and into another control panel. I land more or less on my head, amidst a shower of sparks. She sits up and looks at me.



“Oh, Red X. Sorry. I thought you were Brother Blood.” I try to laugh, but it sounds rather choked since I’m still on my head. I stand up.



“No, not nearly him. Let’s get out of here, before he comes after us again.” She gets off the table and takes a moment observing the surroundings.



“Where are we?”



“I have no idea, I reply.”



“I guess we ought to go…it seems a shame to fail on our second mission, though.”



“Fail?” I ask, brandishing the goods I snatched from Brother Blood. Her eyes flash pink when they see them, and her grin is ever brighter.



“Shall we go?” I ask. She gives me a peck on the cheek and starts out the door. I snap my mask down to hide my blush. I’m still not sure why I’m doing this.



Oh well, I think, as I follow Jinx out the door. It beats anything I’ve ever done alone.

OOC: Sorry for the bit of language in the last post. :o redDragon set me straight, and I edited it out.
Also - I'm not posting again until Jinx (Raven37) posts, cause I need some fresh ideas. Oh yeah - cool character, Vivace.

1:16 PM
Day 2
Titans Tower



My metal fingers connected with the keys to create the sound of rapping at the door. After meeting that Bushido guy, Raven and I had been given the task of finding out who this Mordru guy is. Naturally, I had gone to the computers, Rae had gone to her books. Either way, we were bound to find something.



I have found absolutely nothing on this guy, which is really annoying me. After I had found out the Brother Blood I was fighting was a robot, well, I was as annoyed as that time BB tricked me into eating tofu. It also bothers me that the stupid robot had almost beaten me. When I get my hands on Blood I was hoping Raven had done a lot better than I had in research when she walked in.



“Anything?” I ask as I click my fingertips on the keyboard. I spin around in my seat and face Raven. She’s holding a thick spellbook in her hand. It has a glimmering blue cover that had spindly gold writing on it.



“Not much, but I found this. I think it might help in our search.” She extends the book out to me. I spin around in my chair to grasp the book in my hand. I glance at the cover, Wizards and Magicians of the Dark Ages. For a book, it’s pretty heavy. But then again, it was one of those books that could be part of a three volume set. I open the book to the title page.



“It’s at the bookmark.” Raven points out.



“Oh, right.”



I feel heat rise to my cheek as I open to the bookmark. “The… Dark Lord Mordru?” I gaze at the picture of the man underneath the title. It’s the man we have in the cell downstairs.



I look at Raven for clarification. She nods to me, as a sign to read on. I silently peruse the paragraph underneath, my human growing wide.



“This guy… he-.” I whisper loud enough for Raven to hear.



“He’s immortal, yeah.” Raven says factually. I shout the book one-handedly and give it back to Raven. “Thanks.” She says serenely.



“So… what do we do with this guy once all this is over?” I ask as she turns to leave.



“I’ll let you know when I find out.” Raven replies as she stalks out, her purple cloak trailing behind her.

Day 2
Titans Tower

I continue my work. I'm hacking into the FBI database in order to find out more about this "Jericho" Slade mentioned. I know that I'm the hero, and heroes usually shouldn't do this kind of stuff, but this is for the good of Jump City. If I can find Jericho, maybe I can get more information on Slade.
Hmmm.
Says here that there's a master thief in town named Jericho. He's disappeared and reappeared all of his life. Right now, there's absolutely no trace of him.
Strangely enough, he's supposed to be 14 years old.
The last trace of him was seen in Gotham City. A fight with GCPD cops ensued, and, according to this, Jericho somehow took control of one and forced it to shoot himself and his partner.
I'm going after him.

1:30pm
Day 2 (Will it ever change?)
Titans Tower
-----------------------------------------

This is absolutely ridiculous. I've been researching this Mordru for what seems like forever and can find nothing that tells me how to dispose of him. The fact that the man's immortal doesn't help me much either. I hope Cyborg had more luck than I did.

I turn off the computer and rise from my chair. The door swishes open as I aproach and I exit into the hallway. After a couple of minutes, I reach the lobby, long since cleared, save for one person.

"Jed," I say, "what was going on."

Jed takes off his helmet, revealing his matted black hair. "When," he asks.

"What were you and Speedy talking about before I left?"

"Oh," says Jed with a laugh, "He was asking me about this guy...Jericho I think was the name."

"That sounds vaguely familiar. Where's Speedy now?"

"Last time I saw him, he was still in there." Jed gestured toward the room he and Speedy had been in earlier. "By the way, do you know where I could get some clothes? This armor gets heavy after a while."

"None of the boys are your size, so I can't help you there."

"Damn. I guess I'll just have to wear my sweaty t-shirt and shorts." He smiles, apparently thinking he's funny.

"I guess you will. The bathroom is two floors up."

"Thanks," says Jed, still smiling. He brushes against me slightly on his way to the door and disappears around the corner.

Now where the heck is Beast Boy?

Time: 1:15 Day 2

Place: On the way to Slade’s lair



I glance back at the tower uneasy. If there’s one thing I’ve learned from being a titan this long it is that it’s never a good idea to trust someone too quickly. But here I am with a total stranger claiming to be on orders from the U.S. government. My eyes travel from Michael to the tower and to the ground all at a fast pace making me slightly dizzy. Michael gives me a strange look.

“Just a little anxious…” I say trailing off.

“Who wouldn’t be?” Michael says after a while. “According to what the government knows, Slade’s a madman.”

“They don’t know anything. Fighting him is a lot more personal than sitting at a computer hacking through some things to get hidden information.” I’m going overboard here but I get testy when the government tells me they know how it is. They have no idea.

“How much farther?” Michael asks jolting me out of my thoughts.

“Not much… we’re in downtown Jump now. Should be about five minutes.” He nods and we continue at our slightly quickened pace. I duck down an alley and catch sight of the warehouse. “Oh great…” I mutter. In front of the warehouse is an army of Slade bots. Slade had been expecting us or an attack at the least.

Michael didn’t even stop to ask what the mass of black surrounding Slade’s lair was, he charges right in and attacks every sentinel that makes a move. In no time he’s killed over twenty. I whip out my staff and join Michael in killing off sentinels.

Fifteen minuets later (1:30) there are so few robots it’s pointless to get rid of them. Michael and I hurry through the warehouse door before we get shot by the sentinels’ laser guns. I make a mental note to thank Michael if we get out of here in one piece.

“Hello Robin and… Michael Spicer.” An oh-so familiar voice calls through the shadows. Michael looks slightly surprised that Slade knew his name but doesn’t seem to care. His eyes narrow and he scans the darkness staring around, trying to find Slade.

But Michael never finds him instead Slade jumps out and tries to surprise me. Go figure, he’d always go for the weaker one and I can tell that Michael’s made of strong stuff. I move out of the way of an on coming punch to my face and smack my still extended staff into Slade’s abdomen. A fist comes flying through the air. I duck quickly knowing that Michael is trying to knock Slade out.

It works but the thing is this isn’t Slade. I curse.

“I should have known it was a robot.” I say glaring down at the robot with a smashed in face. “C’mon let’s go find the real Slade.” But Michael has already started down an equally dark hallway.

[Matt A]

(OOC: Yep, that's given me some new ideas. I've jumped along the timeline a little bit, mainly because TeenTitansGo! needs someone to do it. Oh, and this post should propell the story in a few more...interesting directions. I don't have a concrete plan for where to go next, so see what you guys can do with this.)

IC: Michael Spicer
2:03PM, Day 2

Half an hour of searching has told me all that I need to know: this warehouse is empty. I’m guessing that all the robots outside were just a more elegant form of security system, and the Slade-style bot inside was his attempt at confusing us. Either way, all that’s here is now is a few pieces of high-tech computer equipment and a stockroom filled with food and medicinal supplies. Oh, and the largest gun rack that I’ve ever come across: why a man with his very own robot army would want to keep enough weapons to start the apocalypse is beyond my understanding, but right now that’s not important. Anyway, it’s why I now have two sawn-off shotguns and a Desert Eagle about my person.

Robin’s comment about the government’s lack of knowledge is still spinning round inside my head. Being British means that I’m not overly keen on making the US intelligence agencies seem all that alert, but I still all too aware that they’re not to be messed with. It wouldn’t surprise me to find that Slade’s been under 24-hour close-quarters surveillance since the day he started being a crook, and as for the Teen Titans…well, I’m willing to bet the entire of my bank account on the fact that whatever agency I’m currently working for even knows what Robin’s favourite dessert spoon is. It’s a certainty that George and his pals know full well what Slade is currently up to, and they’re right in thinking that whatever he’s doing isn’t something that I need to know. Even the fact that Slade seems to know who I am isn’t all that important: it’s not as if he’s going to be alive for long enough to make use of that information.

Suddenly, my phone rings. I take it out of my pocket to find that, according to the display, George wishes to contact me again. Robin isn’t around, so it’s safe for me to answer.

“Hello George.”

“Hello, son. Has Slade been neutralised?”

“No. I’m in his headquarters now, but from the looks of it he hasn’t been here for quite a while. I don’t know where he is right now. I’m going to need some more information from you.”

“Relax. You won’t be getting it.” Man, what a surprise. “Anyway, Slade is no longer a threat to national security. He is no longer the target.”

There’s something hidden in what he’s just said, and I think I know what it is. “Who’s the target now?”

“You’re getting good, son. I presume that you’ve already made contact with the Teen Titans?”

“Yes.”

“The new target is one of them, the one that they call “Raven”. She is to be neutralised at any cost.”

“I’m guessing that you won’t tell me why.”

“Correct. Your payment is still five hundred thousand dollars.” He hangs up.

I swear loudly. I may be amoral even at the best of times, but even I wouldn’t kill a sixteen-year-old girl: at least, not without knowing why. I need to find her and figure out what’s going on, and I get the funny feeling that telling Robin and the other Titans about this wouldn’t be a wise move.

[Kregor8]

OOC: Also - I'm not posting again until Jinx (Raven37) posts, cause I need some fresh ideas. Well, impatient idiot that I am, I've come up with my own ideas. This should be short and sweet, so let's do it.

IC: Red X
Location: Deep within HIVE Academy
Time: 1:50 something

We've been walking for ages. Ages upon ages, it seems. Miles and miles, I'm certain. There aren't even any doors here, the hallway just circles slowly downward in a gigantic corkscrew. The silence is eerie - just a slight hiss of air and the slight tap of our boots. Jinx is in front now, and I have no idea if she knows where we're going. I certainly don't.

After a few more minutes, we come to a huge room. Jinx and I both take in a startled breath - this place is huge. We can't even really see the ceiling. The room is round, and mostly dark blue and black. There are little pathways the lead to a giant column in the middle of the room. The only thing I can think of is the Death Star from Star Wars. Finally, one of us speaks.

"Do you know what this is?"

"I have no idea," I answer.

"It must go straight through the center of the academy. We've been circling round it for hours."

"Is it the power core, then?" We both laugh. That would be way too obvious, even for an idiot like Brother Blood. We cautiously approach the column. At close range, it is even more impressive the pillar must be 15 feet thick, and it's all covered in metal and lights and meters and stuff.

"Ooh, look here," Jinx calls to me. "I've found a control panel." I walk carefully over to where she stands, staring at a screen.

Capacity - 50%
Time remaining - unknown
Clones self-sustaining - 3%

A cloning machine. So, it was Star Wars after all. Just not the part of it I though.

"Who are they cloning?" I ask.

"Well, let's go see," Jinx answers, pressing a button that says "Open Vault." We enter the vault. There are large tubes all up and down the walls. In each tube is a body in various stages of completion. Very strange indeed. I can't tell if this is Star Wars, or the Matrix. I can't really tell who the subject was, they all look different to me.

Each column of tubes is labled. This one says B, this one C, this one G, and so forth. When I come to the column marked "X," I get the shock of my life. I'm staring at my own face - at my own person. Brother Blood is cloning us! The person in the tube is sleeping, but other than that, appears to be a full person.

Suddenly, a little red light on the tube flashes green. The clone opens his eyes and stares at me. He reaches out his hand, and touches the inside of the glass. I stare in fascination and horror. What was Brother Blood thinking? I hear Jinx scream.

"What is it?" I shout out, whipping around.

"It's me! It's me! That son of a..."

"Jinx..."

"He cloned me!" I start over to her.

"Eep!" she squeeks, standing between me and the tube. "Don't look!"

"What's the problem?"

"I don't want you to see me naked." I snicker inwardly. I hadn't noticed before that none of the clones have clothes on.

"Come on, let's go. We need to find an exit." I start back towards the entrance and the A columns.

"Don't look!"

"I'm not looking," I tell her, turning my back to her tube and walking sideways. It isn't long before we reach the exit.

"Well, what do you want to do?" I ask her as the door snaps shut.

"Let's get out of here. I feel awful." Although I wouldn't admit it, I agree with her. We need to get out of here as soon as possible.

OOC: The time is now after 2, so we're all on the same page, except BroB, Slade, and Terra.

IC: Speedy, Titans Tower
2:08, Day 2 (Still!)

I walk through the Tower, glancing around. I'm leaving to find "Jericho" and find out what he's up to. I have one last person to say goodbye to.
"Raven?" I say.
"Yeah?"
"I'm sorry. I could tell you knew I was jealous, and..."
"Don't worry about it. You're a good friend, that's all. I know that may hurt, but still, it's the truth," Raven replied.
I stared at her for a couple of seconds, looking at her long, beautiful black hair, and her cool, calm face.
"I...understand," I reply. I really did, it was just that...
"Bye," I murmured, walking out the door.
I could never stand a chance with a girl like that.
I pulled out my bow and arrow. I was ready. And the hunt was about to begin.
I abruptly felt a strange sensation in the back of my head...
Cold...
Tube...
Glass...
What the Hell? I blink. I'm still in Titan's Tower, on the elevator out, but what was that? I just felt like some kind of test-tube baby.
Oh well. Let the hunt begin...

[TeenTitansGO!]

IC:Gizmo
Location: The strange jail under Titan's Tower
Time: 2:11 P.M.

I wake up after...well about five minutes of unconsciousness. That Mordru guy really packs a punch. I don't care if he IS hurt, it was enough to knock me out for a while. I wonder who the heck this guy is and begin to realize that he is in the exact same position as before he knocked me out. He's standing there, hand out, not moving one bit. Looks like he didn't even have enough energy for that attack.

As I stare, I here a door open behind me. I look out into the dark to see a light coming from the upstairs door. That strange character, Jed I think they called him, walks down the stairs to the two cells. I recognize him not by his appearance-he's now wearing shorts and a t-shirt and his helmet is off-but by his voice. He approaches my the bars of my cell with a flashlight in hand. Shining it in my eyes I flinch and scream at him,

"Back off you fartknocker!"

"And I should listen to you why?" he asks, bringing the light closer to my face, as if to mock me. He finally turns off the light, leaving the previously shining ebony hair of his to fade into the rest of the black shadow. "I hear you thought you could get in here and take the place over by yourself. That's not likely to happen with six superheroes and two guys who would likely kick your butt anyday."

"I could have made it in if I had my TOOLS! But no, you took those away, didn't you?"

"Yeah, AFTER you tried to get in."

"It doesn't matter. I still could have made it."

"Dude, you tried it, fully-supplied. You had no ch..."

"OK! Maybe you're right! Just get me outta here. This Mordru guy here is creeping me out." Jed looks surprised

"First of all, not a chance. Second, his name's Mordru? I better go tell the others." Jed cynically walks away and upstairs, quietly shutting the door behind him, once again to annoy me.

I look over at this Mordru and see something at the top of his cell. I curiously look up to see this same object at the top of mine, and my brain begins to swim in ideas. I pull of my shirt, quickly ripping it to get it how I need it. This is gonna be the easiest escape ever.

How'd ya guess it twas me huh?! we'll i don't understand these "RPG'S".... at first i thought they were some type of game ....but now i see u write or somthing? could ya explain pleez!

Ah well, greetings! What these are is you pretend to be a character and then write from their point of view. R= Role P= Playing G= Game. Sort of like a writing game. :D

[Kregor8]

OOC: Hey Blufire, I'd watch it if I were you. You're on a fast track to get in trouble with the mods. That is not good - trust me. And I've only ever been in very very minor troubles.

Ok, just thought I'd do this so I could get us (Jinx and I) back into the main swing of things.

IC: Red X
Location: Right outside HIVE Academy
Time: 2:38, Day 2

Jinx and I emerge from under a pile of rubble that hides one of the exhaust shafts to HIVE Academy. After we got hopelessly lost, I had a grand idea of climbing into one of these air shafts and getting out that way. I've been watching too much James Bond, I guess, because it was horrible. Being in close quarters with a pretty girl like Jinx might be nice under some circumstances, but this was torture. Since mostly we were climbing up, I had let her go first, so I could catch her. Now, catching a falling girl while keeping yourself suspended by pressing your back and feet against opposite sides of a air duct is not easy.

So, we climbed around for a while - it seemed like hours, but I guess it could only have been 45 minutes at the very most. We were in an A/C duct (cold, cold, cold) and the cycle runs every 30 minutes.

And here we are, climbing out. Somehow, I'm in front now, and I pull Jinx out of the hole. We look at our surroundings, and it seems that we're on the back side of the mountain that houses the academy. I'm about to say something to Jinx, when she yelps and stumbles backwards. I go to catch her, but quickly realize why she screamed. Some dude is holding a katana to my neck.

Out of the frying pan and into the fire, they say. I sigh inwardly and step back, lessening the pressure on my neck.

"So," I start, "Are you here for the guided tour of HIVE Academy?"

OOC: Vivace, that would be your que.

Location: Over Titan's Tower
Time: 2:40, Day Two

Wow. That was one expletive of a battle. I have absolutely no idea who all these freaky people who showed up were, but I am glad that I got away before it got nasty. Right now, I'm hovering over the Tower, thinking what to do next. I could just go in and kill my sister, like I'd planned, but...
I need to get Slade first. He's gotta die, slowly and painfully. Besides, if the Dantari police (along with the several other organizations that want my head) come snooping around, I don't trust Slade to keep his mouth shut. He strikes me as the kind of person who likes revenge.
Well guess what, mask-man, I think, So do I

OOC:Blufire, you've only got a couple of posts up, but you're already getting on my nerves. If you want to know something, PM somebody. This thread is for Role-Playing. Go post on the Off-Topic thread if you absolutely must talk.

(OOC: Guys, as you know I've been gone for about 5 weeks. Can anyone give me a summary cause I really don't think it's necassary to read 3 pages expecially when they're super lng posts. Any help?)
Time to do my thing.

At this point in time...Well, first let me tell you what I have NO IDEA about. What's happening with Slade and Terra? No idea whatsoever. Also, have you made a BB post in a billion years? It's like he's completely out of the story. I don't know where Starfire is either. Presumably, she's helping to clean the destroyed Tower.

Now, what I DO know. It seems that Br. Blood has endeavored to clone ALL of his students, most notably Jinx and Red X. They are at the Academy and were confronted by Bushido(A samurai-esque character created by Vivace). Michael Spicer has entered the scene, a POWERLESS Michael Spicer. As in no ghost powers. Still ruthless assasin. He has gone with Robin to terminate Slade, but Spicer's target has just been changed to moi, Raven. Don't know why, but an RPG builds on itself. Speedy just left to find Jericho. Gizmo is apparently attempting to escape from his holding cell. Cyborg and Raven are attempting to gather info on the Dark Lord Mordru, whom the Titans have just captured. And finally, Blackfire now wants to kill Slade.

There you have it. Oh, and Jed is aimlessly wondering around the tower. Just to let you know.

[T.T.Raven4]

(OOC: Ok now, the last thing I find on me if Kregors post a while back, so I hope thats where I should be, unless Brother Blood left where he was then, which I pray not.)

IC: Slade
2:42 (I'm going to say that fight has been lasting a while, cause I can't go back 2 hours...)

My metal staff meets Blood's hand. He catches it, and tries to pull it out. I attempt to trip him, but he jumps. I swing a fist that lands in his mid-section, but he quickly recovers with a kick right back at me. Terra and my sentinels are busy, so I'm on my own. I can't fight like this, it will last forever. I flip backwards and toss an exploding disk at Blood's feet. It releases a huge plume of smoke, and when the smoke clears, I am no where to be found.

IC: Beast Boy (Also hoping he isn't tampered with)
2:43 Day 2

I find my way into Blood's control room. It's empty for now. I type in codes into the main computer. If I can shut it down, we can get out of here, and be able to stop Blood's mind control. Then, I hear footsteps near me. I turn and see Slade and Terra at the doorway. My face crumbles into anger as I get ready to fight. I jump at Slade, but Terra stops me.

"Wait!" She yells. "Maybe we can work out...a deal?"

Slade crosses his arms, but I think it just may work.

(OOC: This next post is about as far as my ideas are capable of going for the time being. I'm going to need rrarbecy's input before I can do anything else.)

IC: Michael Spicer
2:46PM, Day 2

For some reason, I’m no longer expecting this to be a good day. After another half hour of looking around Slade’s HQ with Robin, we both had to concede that there is officially nothing to find. Well, I conceded it, but I get the funny feeling that Robin isn’t the kinda guy who ever gives up. So I’ve left him there to keep on fruitlessly searching for leads, and I’ve gone to take a quick walk. Naturally, I didn’t tell Robin where I was going.

After about fifteen minutes of walking at a fairly brisk pace, I’m not back at the Titans Tower. This is the only Titans hangout that I currently know about, so if I’m going to find Raven then this is the best – indeed, the only – place to start looking. Even so, this tower is a little too big to be wandering around when you don’t know what’s where and where’s what.

Luckily for me, a girl with short purple hair, a black swimsuit-thing and an even blacker cloak is already in the lobby. What she’s doing there, I don’t know, but it doesn’t look like she’s waiting for me. I walk over to her, and it’s only a few seconds before she notices my presence.

The girl turns to look at me. “Hello, Spicer. Where’s Robin got to?”

“You’re Raven, right?”

“Yes, but that’s not answering my question.”

“I know. Robin went with me to have a look around Slade’s HQ: he’s still there, but there’s nothing to find so he’s wasting his time. My name’s Michael, by the way.”

“Okay, Michael. What were you two doing at Slade’s HQ?”

Man, this girl’s direct! “It’s kinda a private matter. Is there somewhere else we can talk?”

“Yes. I suppose that we can use my room. It’s not as if you’ll be in it for very long.”

Raven leads me through an impenetrable maze of corridors, and after a few minutes we arrive at a door that looks exactly the same as the countless others that we passed/ I’ve done my best to remember the route back to the lobby, but I might as well accept the fact that without my new guide I’d be both lost and in trouble. The door opens after a second to reveal what strikes me as some sort of Goth/Satanist shrine. The décor is solid wall-to-wall black, and as for the decorations…well, I don’t even know what most of this stuff is, but if it’s weird and creepy then it’s in here. The door closes behind us, and I automatically wander over to the window: the view over Jump city is remarkably pleasant.

Raven is stood someway behind me, and even though I can’t see her I know that she isn’t happy. “Right, just who are you, and what is going on?”

This is the part that I’m not looking forward to. “My name is Michael Spicer, and I’m a contract assassin. I work for whoever is willing to pay me money, whether it be criminal gangs, terrorist groups or, in some cases, government organizations. Right now, my services are being paid for by some wing of the American government, most likely the NSA. Up until about fifty minutes ago, I was in town because I was supposed to kill a guy called Slade: apparently, he’d finally done something to wind up the powers that be, but I don’t know what.”

To her eternal credit, Raven doesn’t even bat an eyelid. If by some random chance she does actually believe me, then what I’ve just said hasn’t surprised her in the slightest. “You said that you were here to kill Slade. What are you here for now?”

I take a deep breath. “I’m here to kill you. I still don’t know why, but I’ll be damned if I kill a sixteen-year-old girl for no reason. That’s what I want to ask you: just what are you involved in? What makes you a target?”

IC: Speedy, Jump City Slums
2:50 PM Day 2



I walk through the city streets. It’s morning. Somehow this seems familiar, reminding me of the whole nightmare fighting Slade, but frankly I don’t have time to go reminiscing. I see some young children playing on the sidewalk, snowball fighting. I almost want to join in, to feel like a kid again, but I don’t. I’m too old, and I have a job to do.

As I search, it begins to get dark. (6:00 PM) It’s been taking way too long. I think I’m going to go crazy. Wait.

I see a police car racing through the city streets, and I immediately take to following it. I shoot my grapple-arrow to the roof of the building and begin chase. As I run, I notice who they’re chasing.

Some black car with a…police officer in it? He’s shouting incoherently. I look in the passenger seat only to see a teenager, about my age, silently sitting.

Jericho.

I take up the chase faster. I can only go so fast, but it seems like the police are almost afraid of him, moving only so fast. I continue my sprint, and I see the police car chasing Jericho suddenly swerve into a building, exploding.

What the hell?

I see the car stop. They obviously believe they aren’t being chased anymore. Man, are they in for a surprise.

I look into the car. What’s the driver’s motive? Why is he helping Jericho? I keep watching, and I see the driver staring at Jericho. Jericho’s eyes glow green for several seconds, then the police officer pulls the gun up to his head, and—

I don’t watch the rest. This kid has some kind of powers. I’m taking him down.

I climb down the building, staring into Jericho’s eyes. Bad idea.

My body spasms. I can’t control it. It’s like…

Hello, Speedy.

He’s in my mind…

2:56 PM Day 2

I hack into the computer with ease. Beast Boy is able to help out by morphing into ightcralwler, and crawling into the machine to examine the wiring. I can't beelive I'm working with him, but I'll say he is a help. Finally, I am able to get into the computer. I examine the mind control codes, and shut them down. There, now all the students should be released, and they can bring down Blood on their own. Then, a little something snaps inside of me. I don't have the power to sense, but it feels like I know someone's there. Someone familiar...but it couldn't be, I haven't seen him in over 6 years. I shrug the thought as I run with Terra and the changeling out into the hall.

Day 2
Raven's Room
--------------------------------
"What makes you a target?" asks Michael. I had hoped it wouldn't come to this, the government and all. If that is indeed his current contractor. There's no way you can tell if a stranger is telling you the whole truth. Especially in this line of work.

"It's not like I have a choice in the matter," I say, trying to maintain my glare.

"What matter?" Michael asks, leaning slightly closer to me.

"What I mean is...It's not so much what I have done, it's what I could do."

"How do you mean?" Michael looks genuinely perplexed.

"The truth is...there's no telling where the future might take me. I don't exactly come from a model family."

"How not?" The guy obviously knows nothing about me.

"My father," I say slowly, "was...is a demon. The worst, actually. He's bent on creating what he calls 'the destiny' of the Earth. To him, it is inevitable that the world will end. More specifically, it is inevitable that he will end the world."

Michael appears to put two and two together. "He wants to end the world through you. He'll use you as his tool to end the world."

"Exactly, and God knows he's tried before. I have to meditate all the time to keep his influence suppressed, to keep my powers in check. If I lose control...If I have one lapse in concentration...I'm afraid I will destroy the planet. Maybe things would be better if I were dead." This new guy, this Spicer guy, has made me see myself in a different way. How much safer the world would be without me in it.

"It sounds like your screwed either way," says Michael. "On the one hand, I kill you. On the other hand, you're responsible for the deaths of 6 billion people."

"I guess that's the way it is. Save myself, or save the planet." Michael just stands quietly in front of me, not moving.

"You know what you have to do," I tell him. If everything goes right here, my life is over right now.

Michael pulls a pistol out of a pouch on his left leg and holds it with two hands, on by the handle, the other on the muzzle. He seems to be contemplating something. "If you have any sense, you'll do it now," I say, clenching my teeth.

Michael holds his gun in firing position and slowly points it up at me. The end is now.

IC: Speedy, Day 2

2:53 PM

Titan's Tower



I am screaming in my mind. I shout at the feeling inside of my soul.

“Who the hell are you, and what are you doing in my mind?!?” I scream.

“You know who I am.”

“Jericho…who are you?”

I watch as my body begins onto the elevator that leads to Titan’s Tower.

“Why should I tell you?”

“Why not? From the sound of it, you want control of this body forever.”

I felt a mental frown come from Jericho, then a strong wave of sadness.

“No. I will do what I want with this body, and then finish. Finishing meaning killing you.”

“I never would’ve guessed,” I said sarcastically.

“My name is JerichoWilson…and I want to be a Teen Titan.”

“This is just sad,” I murmur. “So you want to…what? Recommend yourself for the Teen Titans?”

“Good idea. As I was saying, my name is JerichoWilson. Ever since I was a kid, I’ve lived in JumpCity. Not a small apartment either. A pretty large house, with my mom and dad. I loved them so much. Then disaster struck. One day my mother was diagnosed with brain cancer. While she was dying, I looked deep into her eyes. And there I discovered my power. I took over her unwillingly. It…was a mistake. My mind hurt all over. I came back to my body and cried.”

“How did the powers come?” I asked curiously.

“Simple: I was born with them. See, before I was born my Dad was in the army. He was so good they called him ‘Deathstroke’. But he wanted more. He wanted to be the best soldier possible. So he volunteered for the army, testing a human performance enhancer. He became extremely strong, also gaining use of the 90% of the mind that people don’t use. And I was born mutated. So here I am.”

Deathstroke…it sounded so familiar. And so did Jericho’s mind…voice…thingy.

“What happened to your father?”

“After hearing about this, he left. To do mercenary work, about 4 years ago. So I hit the streets, starting my own new life. I never wanted to be a thief. You could say I was forced into it.”

Four years ago. It all made since now. “What would you do if I said that…I knew who your father was?”

Silence.

“His name is…”

I could barely say it.

“Slade.”

I abruptly heard a gunshot echo through the tower. This could be my only chance. I shouted with all of my mental strength, pushing Jericho out. I could see him fly out of me, soaring back to his body.

The sound…it came from Raven’s room. Mike Spicer was there.

I sprinted up the stairs. “What’s happened? Raven? Are you okay? Rav--”

There, nestled in a pool of blood, was Raven. Mike Spicer was standing over her dead body. A single tear slid down his cheek.

“I had to do it.”

I lunged at him, grabbing his throat. “I’ll show you, you bastard killer!”

Jed walked into the room, and I could hear the other Titans coming as well.

I didn’t care. I’d just have to kill him more quickly…

(OOC)-Hm. I guess it's safe to say I'm in a pickle now.

(OOC: Not necessarily. There's been much more than one hero that has escaped death, so you never know. In fact, who knows? There are many ways to cook a potato, so-to-speak. You could bring yourself back, or be in a coma, or have Trigon bring you back...sorry, I'm ranting aren't I? Anyway, try to stay alive until my next post.)

IC: Michael Spicer
2:56PM, Day 2

Well, it looks like I’m in trouble now. I just killed some near-psycho demon-child, not entirely willingly, and now the guy that everyone calls “Speedy” has got his hands around my throat. I can feel my oxygen supply plummeting by the second, and he’ll kill me before long. I have to act, and act quickly.

I gently press the gun barrel against the side of Speedy’s head. He may in the darkest depths of blood boiling rage, but he still gets the hint. He lets go of me and backs off a few paces. I keep the gun pointed at his forehead.

“Now, before you go all psycho on me again, I’d like to say something.” Robin and the Titans called “Cyborg”, “Starfire” and “Jed” are now here, but they’re smart enough to follow Speedy’s lead and just glare multiple daggers at me. Personally, I’d welcome them tearing me limb from limb right now, but I need to explain myself.

“As Robin already knows, I am an assassin, and I was hired yesterday morning by part of the American government, most likely the NSA, to kill Slade. As Robin doesn’t already know, about an hour ago my orders changed: the target was now young Raven here. She told me why I would have been ordered to do such a thing, and I’m assuming that she already told you the worst of it.

You have to understand this one simple fact: I am an evil, vicious, horrible man, but there are depths to which even I will not stoop. Killing a kid is one of them, especially a kid with such a bright future as a Teen Titans. But she told me to do it, even though I would have rather died than done so. She told me what was at stake, and she told me to stop it. I’m fully prepared to face the punishment for my crime.” In order to make my point plain, I throw my gun to the floor.

Cyborg looks at me with the twisted sneer that I’ve come to expect from those on the receiving end of my day job. “Good,” he says, “’cause you’re gonna die. Just like she did.”

But he doesn’t get the chance. To my eternal horror, the blood from Raven’s bullet wound begins to seep back into her head. Within seconds, the wound has mysteriously healed to such an extent that you’d never be able to tell that it’d even been there. Raven stands up, but the sudden appearance of four glowing red eyes makes it clear that this isn’t really Raven at all.

“Congratulations, young Spicer. You have saved me a lot of work.” The voice coming from her mouth is male, but its hollow yet echoing tone makes it clear that the owner of this voice is anything but male. I’m guessing that her evil demon dad has something to do with this.

The voce goes on. “You have cleared my child’s soul from her body, and now the shell is mine to use as I wish. For that great service, I will grant you a gift: to not have to suffer the pain of the apocalypse to come.” Without any kind of warning, a black tentacle shoots out from the ex-Raven’s cloak. It’s about an inch from my face when I black out.

Or perhaps not. The world goes from all back to all white in an instant. There’s nothing here except for myself and Raven. This girl is clearly not the possessed demon thing that just shot a tentacle through my head: she’s now wearing a white version of her leotard-and-cloak outfit, if that doesn’t make it obvious enough.

I walk the few yards to this relatively normal version of Raven. Suddenly, all my thoughts pop into place. “I’m dead, aren’t I?” I say to her.

“Yes you are, and so am I. If you want to help me stop everyone else from going the same way, I suggest you follow me. We don’t have much time.”

2:57 PM, Day 2

“Raven…” I whisper.


She ignores my plea. Or maybe it’s a he. I don’t know anymore. I just don’t know.

“Robin,” She whispers, her voice slowly turning feminine. “You were always the serious one, weren’t you? So obsessive…so violent…”

This is magic. That much I’m sure of. Dark magic at that.

“I know what it’s like to be like you. I know exactly what it’s like. So I’m going to spare you.” Her eyes narrow. “You will be my Prince. Daddy approves, he told me so. He said it in my mine.”

“You’re insane…” Robin whispered in vague horror.

“So are you. You just don’t show it.”

That sparked something in Robin, and he lunged at her, only to suddenly disappear. I glance out the window. He’s falling into the ocean. He abruptly appears in the Tower again.

“Don’t tell me you didn’t find that sensual…”

“I…I…get away from me!”

“Raven…” Starfire begins. “You need help.”

“I NEED NO ONE’S HELP!” she screams. Starfire is shot back into the wall, screaming all the way.

I know what I need to do. I saw it once on “Buffy”, so I’ll try it.

“Raven…” I say. “I…love you.”

“Don’t pull a Xander on me,” Raven says flatly. “Beast Boy forced me to watch that episode about a million times. Speaking of which, here he is!”

Beast Boy suddenly appears in the tower.

“Guys…? How did I get here?”

Robin seems to be in some kind of trance, I can’t tell what. Then it comes to me. If I could take a risk…a dangerous one, but one that could save us all…

I run down the stairs, Raven being distracted.

It’s time to wake up Mordru.

3:15 PM, Day 2
Raven's Room


"Raven," I ask with a trembling, hurt voice, "why would you wish to harm your friend?"

Raven laughs a deep hollow laugh, "I have no friends." that deep demonic voice is back again. "But perhaps I will find other use for you. I will spare you a slow torturous death if you leave now for Tamaran. Tell them I am coming, and that after I destroy this planet, they will be next."


I try to back up further, but the wall is behind me. I can feel the cold radiating from Raven's body. I try to respond, but can manage no more than a mere whimper.

"What are you waiting for? Wouldn't you prefer a quick death over a slow one?"

I stand on weak knees and slowly make my way to the window, keeping as far from this monstrosity as I can. I do not dare to look away as I fear that it will lash out and kill me the moment I look away.

I reach the window and slowly open it. I know that the creature that calls itself Raven can sense my fear. All eyes are still on the monster, waiting for it to speak again. I exit the window slowly, and finally break eye contact. The moment I do, a black tenticle lashes out and grabs my ankle.

"BOO!"

Scared out of my mind I fly as fast and far as I can, never daring to look back.

***

Time change 3:15 :>: 3:30

I have been flying idly over the city for a short while now, knowing what it is I must do, but not wanting to leave my friends behind. out of the corner of my eye, I see another figure flying through the air not to far from me. I get closer and recognize it as my sister.

I do not have time for a confrontation now, and wish to avoid her. I begin to fly in the other direction, when a new thought occurs to me. I despise myself for allowing myself to think of it as even possible, but the more I think about it, the more desperate I realize that we are. I turn and begin to fly toward her again.

We are going to need all the help we can get.

Time: 3:00 P.M. (FRICKING DAY 2 STILL!!!!!!!!!!!)

I desperately jump straight up, trying to reach the small metal disk that sits on the ceiling. If I ...can...just reach...it.

I need to pull it off and rewire the system. I always hated manual rewiring, but it has to work this time. Besides, that freaky Mordru guy is starting to scare me.

I jump...and I'm about...to...reach itYES! I grab ahold of it, and it rips down from the ceiling. Variously colored wires string from above and i begin my endeavor. Within thirty minutes, my back-up plan is secured and...

CRASH!!!!!!!!!!!

Light absolutely floods the room, and a gasping sound is heard on top of even the loud crash. The boy with the bow,-from what I remember, his name is Speedy-runs over to our grand sorcerer here, and presses a few buttons to open his cell up. Ha! Little does he know that the only system I've altered the disrupter for the opposing signature recognition system. In other words, he opens creepy Potter guy's door, he opens mine as well.

The cells open, and I run towards the door. He turns to me and curses Loudly. I finish my escape and emerge from the door. He stays there, obviously preoccupied. Me? I know nothing of what to do next, I only know that I need to hide.

Time: 3:01 P.M.
I don't really have time for that guy. I get down to buisness, doing the insane thing I've come down to do anyway. I'm about to try to wake him up when his eyes open.

I'm flung back against the wall by an unseen force. Mordru stares into my eyes, his full of fire.

"Who are you to try to cheat the Dark Lord?" he screams.

I can feel the invisible grip around my neck tighten. Who is this guy, Voldemort or Darth Vader?

"Silence you damn fool! I can hear your thoughts! Where is Michael Spicer?" he asks.

"Dead, but I should warn you--"

"Yesss...I sense her. She is powerful. Powerful enough to destroy the world...or to rule it."

"So you have to stop her, or you can't."

"She will die," Mordru says gravely.

"You damn coward!" I shout, pouncing on him, grabbing his neck. I suddenly feel myself fly back against the wall again. "gh--Gh--erk..."

He's holding something. There it is. And I never even thought of it. He summoned a scepter full of magic...which means I can take it away!

"You don't really want to do this, do you?"

"Oh, I've been meaning to kill you Titans for years. Especially you, Roy Harper."

I shudder. He knows who I am. Somehow. "Why do you want to kill me?"

"Because of the power you will wield. But I've said too much already. I--"

I grab the sceptor, and point it at his face. Which then explodes. The sight is nasty, but the sceptor...

So much power...I know why he wanted to rule, now. He deserved to. Yes...and I do too.

There is no need for walking. I can shift dimensions now...and the world will bow down before me...

Time: 3:02 (Day 2, obviously)

I fly through the skies of Jump City, my wings buzzing franticly behind me. The Titans need mondo help, I know that much. This wierd, explosive, otherworldish fight has been all over the news. Well, I mean, if you're suddenly getting alien cable. I know I shouldn't have hired that crazy merc with the assassin bot to fix my television. Ah, well. Seems to have been some help. as I reach the tower, (if it can still be called that) I gasp. It looks like World War Three has erupted. I pull out my lazer charges and fire them at a wall It shatters, and I fly inside jst as fast as I can. What I see makes my blood run cold.
"Oh my God," I whisper softly, "Speedy?"
He doesn't seem to notice that I'm here. I don't like the look on his face. It's... evil. All I saw on TV was what was going on outside.This...this is real. I dash up to Speedy and grab his arm.
"Speedy!" I practically scream in his ear, "What the heck are you doing?"
He knocks me roughly to one side, and I hit the wall. I close my eyes to make sure this is real. When I open them, I'm sure it is. I take off running, as fast as possible. I try to fly, but one of my wings is bent from my nice little encounter with the steel wall. Speedy doesn't seem to notice that I'm leaving, so I take advantage of that.
I need to find the other Titans. I need to help them. I need to rescue Speedy from whatever dark force is possessing him.
Maybe he's not possessed, I think for a moment. A second later, I've banished that thought from my mind. Speedy would never do something like that. I hope.

Great. Just what I need right now. My stupid zarbnarf of a sister. Why can't she leave me alone while I'm trying to extract revenge on one of my former employers? A thought crosses my mind, and I smirk to myself. I change direction, flying toward my sister. She's wearing her 'concern for all the universe' expression, which just makes me want get hold of her head and crush her happy little skull. When I'm hovering in front of her, I smile in a friendly sort of way. She opens her mouth to say something. Before she can get the first word out, I grab her by the throat and begin squeezing.
"Hey, sis," I say, still smiling sweetly, "Happy to see me?"

I grin. The Raven is in the upper room in Titans Tower. I close my eyes and let the magic flow through me. In an instant I am next to "Raven", husk of Trigon. I kick her in the face, and she reels in pain.
"Speedy..." he mutters. "Roy Harper..."
"He's dead," I say quietly. I shoot a blast of magical energy at her, and she perfectly defends.
"Well done."
A voice shouts inside of me, screaming for me to stop. I ignore it.
"You demons for h*ll. You guys just never get it, do you? It's MY WORLD NOW!" I scream. I feel a voice in the back of my head. It's fimiliar...but not Roy Harper. It's...Raven?

The Hereafter (sorry. Couldn't think of a better word.)
------------------------------------------------------
"Speedy! You have to-" I'm trying to contact Speedy and tell him what to do, but it seems that he's done exactly the thing I wanted him not to do.

"It is too late, Raven" says a voice that can't possibly be mistaken for Speedy's, "he's mine now."

"Mordru," I say with grim certainty.

"Not exactly," says the voice. "I'm actually a mix of Roy Harper's and the Dark Lord's personalities. The Dark Lord's persona has been...disabled, while Harper's personality is- Well, I've said too much already."

I can feel my spirit-self being pushed from Speedy's mind. I have to make one last attempt to reach him. "SPEEDY!" I yell, trying desparately to reach the real Speedy. "Speedy! You HAVE to gain control! You need to harness his powers and use them for what you know is right! You have to use them to save everyone! To save me..."

My strength fails me and I feel myself flying backward. I land hard on my shoulder. My material shoulder. Opening my eyes, I see that I'm back with Spicer. "God damn it!" I shout in frustration.

"I gather you didn't get through to him," says Spicer grimly.

"I sure hope I did," I say as he helps me to my feet. If I didn't, nothing could save the world from my father's wrath.

[Agent S7]

(OOC: To RRabercy: That was an awesome post. We might just be able to save this RPG. But, for the record, it's Speedy that's taken control, not Roy. It's kind of like DKA's storyline, except with Teen Titans, in one body and in reverse.)

Titans Tower

I glare at the Raven. She's pathetic, I spit. All of my former friendship for her is gone. Of course, that Raven happens to be inside of my head. Great. I'm talking to voices. Yet, somehow I feel another voice inside, telling me to stop.
"Roy Harper," I say. "Speedy is in control now. You have no hope." I hear him shout something about Raven. Friends. Love. Good. And all of that fluffy stuff.
"Face it, kid. You only became a hero because you wanted power, and you took that chance. Now you're stuck with me."
There's suddenly another voice. Raven...?
"SHUT UP!" I shout. I notice something outside the window, but I couldn't see exactly what. It moved by too quickly. And all of those voices.
"I SAID SHUT THE (bad word) UP!" I scream, waves of magic echoeing through my mind.
I feel a punch in the head. "I was going for a true battle," the Trigon creature says, "This is foolish! You fight not, but instead bicker with long-dead souls within! You will now suffer the vengeance of one thousand hells!"
Great. I never did like the vengeance of one thousand hells.
I look out the window, directly into some kid's eyes. Jericho.
I scream as I feel myself being ejected out of the body. He's doing something...to me!
I feel a weight in my mind. Things are spinning...everything...no...he's controlling the Magic...he...
I collapse, as Roy Harper regains control of the body...

3:09PM, Day 2

Whilst Raven’s been busy on her fruitless attempts to save the world, I’ve been having a little think. From what she explained to me when I arrived here about ten minutes ago, this isn’t really the afterlife at all. The best way that I can think of describing is…well, imagine that every time we make a decision, not matter how small, an alternative world is created where a different version of ourselves made a different choice. There are untold billions of these worlds out there, but we can’t just grab a passing spaceship and fly between each one. No, we need a more alternative form of transport, and that’s where this odd little world comes in. This is the bridge between each of these worlds, and this is the only place where you can move into and out of each one…if you’ve got the right kit, which of course we haven’t.

But still, I’m known to be a logical person, and the great thing about logical thinking is that even though the conclusions that you wind up with are often on the wrong side of ridiculous, they’re usually quite accurate. I wander over to where Raven’s gone: she headed off a little way into the whiteness to contemplate who knows what, but unlike her the impending end of the multiverse doesn’t really bother me.

“I’ve got an idea.” I say to her.

She turns round to look at me, sporting the ever-so-slightly doubtful expression that I’ve come to expect from most people. “And what’s that, exactly?”

“Well, it’s not so much a way to save the world, but more of a way to get into a position to do that. Or at least a position to get into a position to do that. Um…” Funnily enough, I’m now feeling more than a little stupid.

Raven stares at me blankly. “Go on…”

“You said that we can get into all the different dimensions from here, but we don’t have the kit to do it…”

“Yes…”

“Well, I heard about the whole business between you and that Malchior guy that happened at little while back. From what I remember, you trapped him in a book.”

“I don’t see how that’s relevant right now, but go on.”

“Anyway, I don’t think that he wound up in a book at all: there’s physical impossibility, and then there’s just ridiculous.”

“So, what are you trying to say? That Malchior is actually here?”

“Essentially, yes. And if we don’t how to get back to our own world and start sorting stuff out, then he will.”

“And on the one-in-a-millionth chance that you’re right about this, just how do you think that we can get him to help us?”

Ah. “Well, that’s the part where I got stuck…”

Time: 3:10
Location: Searching for my gear

I open the drawer at the top left. Some papers, a watch, one of Robin's birdarangs. Well it's not my gear, but I could use it. I take the birdarang and continue my search through the Tower computer desk. They've probably got my stuff hidden in some obvious safe somewhere, but you never know.

I open another drawer. Empty. The next. A pencil and a couple pieces of old gum. Gross. One drawer left. I open it and I find a couple computer disks. Wait, one of those is my master over ride disk. Well, it's minor but at least I've found it. Now where is the REST OF IT!? I push all the rest of the junk in the drawer away to reveal a few things of importance. The Titan's Tower override disk (my disk isn't that sophisticated), a screwdriver, some keys, and...a small red button in the back of the desk. Being me, I automaticall press it.

The computer desk slides to the left revealing a rather large titanium safe door. It's got computerized titanium locks and the standard wheel lock, but the latter's too high for me to reach. So I just use the override disk that the stupid Titans practically gave me.

Tapping keys at the computer, my skills get me into the easy break safe without setting off any alarms. I gaze inside, but it's too dark, and there's no light switch. I search and search looking around. I try the computer to see if it controls the entire safe. No. Wait. I go back and press that little red button from before. THe lights switch on in the safe, more like a hangar I should say, and I see two things. A table with all of my gear on it, and a yellow moped wrapped with ribbons and signs that say happy birthday Beast Boy. Aha! So I have ride home. Those keys from the drawer work perfectly with the moped and I rip away the ribbons. Equipping my pack and all my gear, I hop on and rev the rather large engine. Dang this things gonna rip it fast! I step on the pedal. 0-60 in nothing flat and I'm out the front "door" of this pitiful place. My pack can get me over the river with the new jets I installed last Thursday. I get to about 75 mph and I hear a large crack. My back tire explodes and I'm thrown to the rocks. Great, I'm stuck, and I'm back on the ground. I turn to see a tall figure standing above me.

Chocking on the air as it races into my lungs, I try to talk.

"Sister! We..." wheez, cough cough, "we need you!"

"Why should I help you?" she asks with a sneer.

"Because some monster is planing to destroy this planet and then will destroy Tameran and then the whole universe!!!" I gasp for breath again.

"And I should care, why? You had me bannished from Tameran, remember?"

"But he will kill and enslave all of us!"

My sister smirks at hearing this, "Sounds like fun, Maybe I'll join him..."

Before I can stop her she fles off to the tower to try and meet him.

[Kregor8]

OOC: I too am stuck as can be. Since Red X is still at HIVE Academy, the people I would be dealing with are Slade, Terra, BroB, and Bushido. These writers, however, seem to have abandoned this... Maybe like me, they were just to stunned by the bizzare turn of events in the main plot to follow. Any help would be appreciated, or maybe we should just call it quits.

Anyone up for a vote? My personal preference would be to keep going as Red X, but if everyone else is done, we can do something else.

7<regor

[TeenTitansGO!]

I vote to quit

[Aquagirl15]

OOC: Ok I have no idea what I could do from here. If I knew what I could post, I would but things are just too weird in the RPG right now. :eek: I still don't even know what happened to Robin after he flew out the window. So long story short: quitting is just fine with me. :shrug:

[ShadowOfAGhost]

as much time and energy as we have put into this, I vote that we quit. If you all want, I will even write a final chapter to end all of it. yes, it would be rather stupid and short of a chapter, but it would serve its just purpose of giving the story just closure (followed by a nuclear winter, if you catch my drift....)

[Crowgirl]

OOC (obviously): Yeah, I hate to be a quitter and all, but... I quit. I've run out of all good ideas, and I'm a little lost in the plot. Ghost, if you want to write an ending chapter, I say feel free, because as long as it closes, I'm cool with that.

However, by ending this on we could start that HIVE RPG that I brought a while ago....

[Matt A]

OOC: I'd like to see the ending that SoaG cooks up. Just don't make it too obvious, if you know what I mean...

The HIVE RPG sounds like a cool idea (after all, playing villains is just soo much fun!), but I wouldn't have all that much time to write for it. Also, seeing as it's more or less my fault that this RPG has fallen apart (after all, introducing the arrival of Trigon - the bit that's gotten everyone confused - was my idea), I'll have to be a bit more careful with what I give you. But still, it'll be an interesting challenge...even though I don't yet know what character I'd use.

[ShadowOfAGhost]

what do you mean obvious? obvious that the story is over? cause that would be the whole point of it.....

and just a warning, the last chapter of this tale would be one of those WTF? sort of scenarios... Before I write it though, I would like to get Rrarbecy's final aproval to end it all...

Push the MAGIC BUTTON rrarbecy, and the TTRPG disapears.

<edit>

wow, I just wrote it to have it ready, and not only is it completley random, it is really morbid... wow.

[TerraWHRobin4]

OOC: the reason i seem to have 'abandoned' this is because i've been grounded and almost unable to post. sorry.

[rrarbecy]

You know, me and Matt A. are completely lost and I don't think anyone is doing any better. I think this should join the massive pile of unfinished RPG's. Sadly, I don't think this can go anywhere.

VIOLENCE WARNING!!!!!



IC: Starfire
Time: 3:45
Day: 2 (final day)
I race after my sister, but I see that I am not alone in the air with her. There is a large metal object flying straight up in the air between us. In an instant it is gone, but looking down, I can see a large metal boat in the far distant horizon. The smoke trail leads back toward the boat.

I look up with awe in the air and see that the large metal object has in fact turned in the air and is heading for titans tower. I am too stunned to notice my sister fly past me and away from the tower. I can hear her voice trailing off in the distance. She seems afraid, very afraid.

Her voice slowly floats back to me and I hear her scream.

I recognize the object, and fly as fast and as far as I can, remembering that the other titans had warned me of the danger they are. It is too late for the other Titans; they cannot escape in time.

I hear an explosion and a rumble in the distance. I look over my shoulder and see a Bright white cloud in the shape of a mushroom. And then, I see no more, as my eyes are blinded from the immense light. I feel tremendous heat from the explosion engulf me. It is too much heat to bear. The last things I hear before my eardrums explode are the maniacal screams of the civilians and the crumbling of nearby buildings by the shockwave. That which the bomb did not destroy, the resulting fall out would.

Nothing in Jump City would remain to tell the tale.


...

[rrarbecy]

Oh my Lord. That WAS depressing.

[Matt A]

Quite. But, to give credit where credit is due, is still caught me by surprise. I for one am very impressed.

So, what we going to work on next?

Ta,

[Crowgirl]

Wow.....

Random and violent.... *Stands up and applauds*

I believe it was a HIVE RPG where we were the HIVE and we went after the Titans? I hope so.... *crosses fingers*

Erm, if we do the HIVE one, I nab Jinx! :p

[Rae]

Okay, i just randomly decided to see what was happening to this and it's finished....oh well

Yes that ending was depressing

I would probably want to be part of the HIVE RPG if you guys wanted to do one, not that i'd know who to be since CG has already nabbed Jinx

I'll take on Gizmo for the HIVE if we do one

That was really depressing. But it was still good, and a quick way to end the RPG. Now at least it feels finished.

Oh I remeber the H.I.V.E. RPG. I dunno if I wanna be Blood again but I'll totally join it! :anime:

Personally, I'm quite interested in resurrecting percguy's idea of a general villains RPG, where all of the DC villains are up for grabs, not just the HIVE. Just to take things one step further, I'd actually quite like to extend it to non-DC villains as well: there's one coming up in Locked And Loaded that I'd kill to play...

So, are you guys up for that?

Well since you guys have finished off this RPG, I've closed the thread. If you want to continue discussing the next RPG, please post in the new RPG suggestions thread. (http://forums.toonzone.net/showthread.php?t=55)
