(Author's Note: So I'm doing three point of views this time. Slade's point of view, Terra's point of view, and Kairi's point of view. So this chapter will be long. I'll continue writing "Lost In The Echo" eventually.)
~Slade's P.O.V~
~At A Warehouse, Outside Jump City~
Staring down at Kairi's unconscious body, I smiled at myself then sat in a chair across from her. Unlike Robin and Terra I believed Kairi had more potential then the both of them combined. Kairi would make an even better apprentice then her team mates ever would. Of course I had a lot of information to hang over her head as well.
I could watch this young girl forever but, Terra should be here any minute now, coming to the aid of her team mate. Like a good titan. Giving Kairi one last look I got out of the chair and headed to the door, opening it quietly, I closed it and locked behind me then, stuffing the key in my pocket, I headed to the entrance of the warehouse, waiting on Terra to get here...
~End of Slade's P.O.V~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~Terra's P.O.V~
Throwing open the door with a huge rock, I looked Slade dead in the eyes as I lifted up a rock and threw it at him. "Where is she Slade!" I yelled out to him, picking up a piece of the floor, I threw it at him as well, running towards him with a raised fist, I was only inches away fro him from hitting him when he grabbed my wrist and twisted it behind my back, bringing me to my knees.
Standing over me with a grin on his face, Slade kneed me in the chest then, let me go of my wrist. "Poor Terra, you can't even fight me. I thought you were stronger then this but, I was wrong." He said to me, watching me dry heave from his kick in the chest. Walking around me, Slade added. "And to think you were my apprentice." Was all he said to me, as he lifted his leg and slammed his boot in my back, hearing a couple of bones breaking, I fell to the floor. This was is it, I was done for. Finally, I get to be a hero and now my chance is over, Slade's won and I've lost, end of story. My only regret was that I didn't even get to tell Beast Boy how much I loved him.
Grabbing me by my hair, Slade picked me up and flung me across the room. Waiting on the impact of my body hitting something, I closed my eyes and braced for impact but, I opened them a moment and found myself floating in mid air then, placed on the floor. Turning my head, I saw Kairi give me a quick smile and started fighting Slade.
Giving her a quick smile in return, I closed my eyes and pasted out from my injuries....
~End of Terra's P.O.V~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~Kairi's P.O.V~
Nearly missing one of Slade's boots, I picked up a near by crate and threw it at him but, he managed to dodge it before it hit him. "You don't touch my friends, or go into in my room, and you happened to do both Slade. This is my only warning to you, you run away like the coward you are or I'll annihilate every part of your body." I said to him, my hands glowing a light purple the entire time I spoke to him.
Apparently my warning didn't even phase Slade because, he came at with full strength well almost until chains were wrapped around his body and he was pulled backwards.
Turning my head, I saw Johnny throwing Slade into a pile of boxes. "Didn't your momma ever teach you that it's not nice to hit little girls." He said to him.
Slade chuckled at Johnny's comment, brushed himself off and started heading into the shadows, his eyes on me the entire time. "I'll be watching you Kairi." Were his final words to me, as he disappeared into the shadows.
Staring at Johnny, I walked over to him and gave him a smile. "What are you doing here Johnny?" I asked him, watching Terra get up slowly, wincing in pain the entire time.
Giving me a quick smile, Johnny started heading towards the door. "I'll tell you another time Kairi. For now go and take care of your team mate, I'll see you later." Was all he said to me, as he headed out of the doors of the warehouse.
Letting out a sigh, I headed towards the injuries Terra, who was gripping onto her back, as tears started to sting in her eyes. "Let me guess, he's the guy you've been sneaking off to see for the past couple of days?" She managed to get out, as I wrapped an arm around her waist and closing my eyes I made a portal that would take us both to the tower.
I smiled at her. "Yeah, I'll explain to you later though. Your injuries seem pretty serious." I said to her, as we stepped through the portal together and headed towards the tower, both of us knowing that Robin was going to grill us both for information about tonight...
~End of Kairi's P.O.V~
~Kairi's P.O.V~
~Two Days Later, Inside the Titan's Tower~
Laying in my bed, I stared at the ceiling and let out a sigh. Ever since Johnny and I started talking a couple of days ago we couldn't stop. Who would've guessed that a villain like Johnny Rancid would have anything in common with me? Not me, that's for sure.
Closing my eyes I was about to let sleep over take me but, a knock at my window stopped that from happening. Getting up and out of my bed, I walked towards my window and tried to not laugh.
Outside my window was Johnny Rancid with a "help me" look on his face. Giving him a smile, I quietly opened my window and Johnny came tumbling in my bedroom.
Cocking my head to the side, I covered my mouth with my hand to cover up my laughter. "How did you get up?" I asked him once I calmed down my laughter.
Shaking off the rain from his trench coat, Johnny gave me a smile and pulled out some crushed up flowers. "Let me tell you Kairi it wasn't easy." He quietly laughed out then, handed the crushed up flowers to me. "These are for you. Sorry if their messed up, it's kind of hard to keep flowers in their perfect state when your riding eighty miles in the rain on a motorcycle." He confessed to me.
Shaking my head, I inhaled the scent of the flowers then, placed them Ina drawer and kissed his cheek, which made him turn a light shade of red afterwards. "So, what are you doing here? Don't tell me you just climbed the entire tower to see me?" I said to him, as I closed my bedroom window and sat on the edge of my bed, staring at him.
Letting out a chuckle, Johnny took a seat in the chair across from me. "I came to see you Kairi. I just wanted to tell you that there's this concert coming to town and I wondered if you wanted to go, not as a couple but, as friends?" He asked me.
Trying to hide the shock that was running through my system, I gave him a smile. "Yeah sure, as long as it's not some shitty band then, sure I would love to go. What time should I head to the park?" I asked him.
Letting out a sigh Johnny gave me another smile. "How about 6:30? The concert doesn't start until eight but, I figured we go grab a bite to eat before we head out to the concert." He said to me.
Nodding my head, I let out a yawn. "Well you better go before someone hears us, I don't want you to get caught by the titans. They'll have both of our heads on a plate." I said to him.
Johnny nodded his head. "Yeah, I guess I better go but, I'll see you tomorrow okay?" He asked me, as he got out of the chair and headed towards my bedroom window opening it, he gave me one last smile then, jumped down from the tower and disappeared into the night.
Shaking my head at the thought of going to a concert with Johnny Rancid tomorrow night was something I never thought would happen, at least not in my lifetime. Getting off of my bed, I started to close my bedroom window when I felt a hand on my shoulder. Turning around, I only managed to get a quick glimpse of the person before I was knocked out and carried off to who knows where by some random stranger...
~In Terra's Bedroom~
Putting the cell phone down on the floor, Terra let her head fall down. She wiped her tears away to think that would Terra would betray the Teen Titans was a lie. Terra would never do that, not in a million years. Ever since she was re awakened all those years ago, Terra tried to live a normal life until her powers came back along with her memerioes of the Titans and Slade. Clutching her hands into fists, Terra let out a sigh as she walked towards to her bedroom window and opened it then, summoning a rock from the ground below, Terra took off into the night with tears in her blue eyes.
Slade managed to get to her using the only guy she ever loved, he also threatened to black mail pictures of her and Slade raping her when she first joined him. Thinking he was the only one for her because, in those days, Terra was a stupid, foolish little girl who looked for love in the wrong places and the wrong people.
"I have to stop him from hurting Kairi if it's the last thing that I do. I won't Slade hurt her, like he hurt me in the past." She said to herself, ignoring the pouring rain that was falling all over her. "I won't betray the titans again, I learned my lesson once, it won't happen again, my future won't repeat my past, not this time." She added to herself, as she scanned the ground for any sign of Slade.
Terra wasn't going to lose the only other friend that she had. Even if it cost her life, she wasn't going to let me fall under Slade's mind control like she did...
~End of Kairi's P.O.V~
~Rose's P.O.V~
James has hit me for the last time. I'm glad he's working the night shift this week. I don't think I could stand begin around him right now especially with my powers starting to go crazy.
Looking around at the apartment one last time, I zipped my backpack up and placed it on my shoulders then, I closed the apartment door behind me, locking it behind me. I put my set of key's under the welcome mat then, headed down the stairs and started walking out of the apartment complex for good this time. I brushed the thoughts of James and I together from my memory forever.
Charles Xavier looked at both Storm and Jean. "I need you and two more people to get Rose Knightly first before Magneto does." He said to both of them, staring into their eyes after he spoke.
Nodding their heads at Charles' words, Jean and Storm stared at each other for a moment before meeting their teacher's eyes. "Who should we bring with us Professor other then Rogue?" Storm asked him.
Jean eyed her teacher as she spoke to him telepathically. "Professor, might I suggest Gambit? He's good at reassuring people , and he might help us if we run into trouble."
Staring at his student, Charles nodded his head at Jean then, looked at Storm. "Get the jet ready while Jean goes to get Rogue and Gambit." He ordered to Storm, giving her a smile.
The two women started heading out of the room together but, Charles' words stopped them before they could leave the room. "Please, be careful you two. Rose is powerful and she's scared. Also make sure Gambit doesn't flatter her to much." He said telepathically to them.
"Yes professor." They both said to him as they left the room together.
~In A Alleyway, Somewhere In Boston~
Hiding behind a dumpster, I closed my eyes and tried to even my breathing before this gang of mutant haters found me. Hearing their voices and their footsteps run in the other direction, I let out a sigh and stood up then, started walking away from the dumpster, I nearly headed out of the alleyway but, was stopped in my tracks as one of the mutant haters stood in the way of my only exit, a baseball bat in their hands.
Moving closer to me, the person gave me a smirk. "Your kind shouldn't even exist at all, maybe if I kill you then, they'll be less freak in the world." He said to me, as he swung the bat at me but, missed when he was lifted up in the air and thrown into the dumpster where I was hiding behind earlier.
Staring at the mutant hater with hate in her eyes Jean lifted her hand up and made a hand gesture for the lid to close on top of him. Turning her head towards me, she gave me a smile. "My name's Jean Grey, I'm a mutant just like you and I know what it's like to be scared because, I'm not sure of what I am." She said to me, as two women appeared next to her. "Rose, if you come with us, no more harm will come towards you. The professor will make sure that your mutant boyfriend won't harm you ever again, and he'll help you control your powers." She added to me.
Looking at Jean with a raised eyebrow, I backed away from her, bumping into someone's chest, I turned my head and came face-to-face with a man that had brown hair and red eyes, a small smile on his face, as took a couple steps back and gave me a bow.
"Name's Remy but, most people call me Gambit. It's a pleasure to meet you in person finally Ms. Knightly." He said to me, standing up we met eyes then, I heard him speak in my head. "Mon Cheri* trust me when I say we are the good guys, we mean you no harm. Were trying to protect you from someone else who wants you for their own personal reasons. If you decline our request, we will leave you alone but, would you rather be on the streets then in a home were your with your own kind and protected from the outside world?" He asked me in my head.
Eyeing Remy, I let out a sigh. "Fine, I'll come." I said to them, as we started walking out of the alleyway together...
~End of Rose's P.O.V~
~Kairi's P.O.V~
~In the Teen Titan's Tower, In Kairi's Room~
Sitting on the edge of my bed with my knees up to my chest, I just stared at the door, waiting on someone to bust into my room. "There all so mad at me for screwing up on today's mission. I don't think I can stand them begin mad at me." I said to Terra, who sat in a chair across the room.
Terra let out a sigh. "They'll get over it Kairi, they always do, just give it time. Trust me." She said to me, giving me a smile afterwards, as she got out of the chair and walked towards then, sat next to me on the bed, squeezing onto my shoulder for a reassurance a moment later. "Are you going to be okay in here by yourself while I'll go get us some dinner from the kitchen?" She asked me, getting off the bed and heading towards my bedroom door, stopping at the door frame, waiting on my answer to her question.
Letting out a sigh, I looked into her blue eyes then I spoke to her. "Yeah, I'll be fine. Just leave my dinner outside my door, I'll get it when I come back." I answered her, as I got off of my bed and headed towards my bedroom window and opened it.
Terra let out a sigh as well. "Kairi, you can't keep running away from here when things get bad, one day you'll have to face this." She said to me, adding out under her breath. "Just saying." Was all she said to me as she walked out of my bedroom after she finished speaking to me.
Putting my hood up, I zipped up my black jacket then flew out into the night, closing the window behind me before I took off on my nightly flight. "Yeah Terra, one day I will but, not right now. It's to much to handle right now." I said quietly to myself, as I flew past the tower and headed towards Jump City's park for a cigarette session with my thoughts...
~At the Titan's Tower, In the Kitchen/Living Room~
Fixing up my plate, Terra met everyone's eyes. "Just so you know, Kairi's pissed at you guys. If you all would just stop treating her like shit every time she screws up on a mission then, maybe she just might come out of her room and join us for dinner sometime." She coldly to them.
Robin slammed his fists on the bar and glared at Terra. "Then she needs to train with us and tell us that she's sorry! It's her fault that we keep screwing up on missions!" He shouted at Terra, as he dug into his baked potato.
Terra gently put my plate on the kitchen counter and turned towards Robin. "Her fault? It's her fault that she keeps screwing up on missions!" Terra quietly said to Robin, the tone in her voice was ice cold, with every ice cold word that came from Terra's voice she could feel her powers wanting to come out. "It's not her fault Robin, it's everyone's fault. None of you even want to get to her know her, expect for Beast Boy and myself." She paused to take a deep breath then stared at both Robin and Raven, her hands now clenched into fists, it was taking everything for Terra not to use her powers at her team mates. "Both of you should be very proud of yourself's. Using Kairi as a scape goat for the team's problems." Grabbing both of our plates, Terra walked out of the kitchen with both of our plates in her hands then, stopped at a door that led to the elevator doors, which led up to the bedrooms. "Both of you are assholes! You both should take a look in the mirror at yourselves because, all I see is a person who won't even accept the fact that his team mate needs help. I hope you sleep great tonight Robin, you asshole, and you call yourself a leader. Shame on you" Were Terra's final words to Robin as the elevator doors opened up and Terra stepped inside of it then, hit the top floor giving Robin one last glare as the elevator doors closed on her...
~At Jump City's Park~
Finishing up my cigarette, I took one last puff before dropping it down on the ground and standing up then, stepping on it. Making sure it was out, I started walking down the sidewalk well, almost. A guy was blocking my way. "Please let me pass sir." I said to him, keeping my head down and staring at the ground.
Laying a hand on my shoulder, the guy bent down and looked at me, staring into my black eyes, he gave me a smile. "What's a lovely girl such as yourself doing here in a park all by herself at such a late hour, shouldn't you be in bed or at home at this hour?" The city asked me.
Raising an eyebrow at the guy's words, I backed away from him. It's just my luck that I happen to run into Johnny Rancid tonight. What on earth is doing here and how did he know that I was here? "Look Johnny, I don't want to start anything." I said to him, holding out my hands as a sign of peace. "Besides why would you care about me? Your a villain, a law breaker who probably doesn't care about anyone else but himself." I added to him.
Johnny let out a laugh at my words then, gave me another smile. "So? Just because I'm evil doesn't mean anything. I don't hate all of you Titans, just Robin and the rest of his team. What I wouldn't give to kick his ass and take his ego down a notch, the damn kid. He let's begin a leader go straight to his head." He confessed to me, as he dug in his pocket's and pulled out a pack of cigarettes and a lighter then, lit one up. Taking a deep drag off of it, he blew the smoke out into the night air before speaking to me again. "If I promise you that I won't do nothing to you, will you sit down back on the bench and talk to me for a while? And we can forget at least for an hour or two that were enemies?" He asked me, taking another drag off of his cigarette as he waited on my answer.
Nodding my head, we walked back to the bench and sat down together. "I'm an idiot for trusting you but, what do I have to lose? The one place that I call a home isn't much of one, and it seems like my whole team hates me." I confessed to him, as I pulled out a cigarette and almost lit it up but, Johnny beat me to it and lit my cigarette up for me. "So, what's a billy bad ass like you doing here? I'm sure you have some reason other then talking to me, shouldn't you be robbing banks or something?" I asked him, after I exhaled my first drag off of the cigarette, looking at him afterwards.
Letting out another laugh, Johnny cocked a smile at me again and looked out at the park then, he let out a sigh. "My dog's here somewhere probably running around or digging holes or whatever dog's do." He said to me, taking another drag off of his cigarette then exhaling his drag before adding to me. "The truth is that I saw you flying around and saw you land here so, I came to visit you. That's all."
Leaning back against the back of the bench, I let out a sigh. "Thanks Johnny I must be one special girl for you to come visit." I said dryly to him.
Johnny chuckled at my words then looked at me. "Yeah, you are Kairi. Even when we fight, I know that your different then the rest of your lousy team. I can see it in your eyes that you don't want to hurt people. You may seem like a bitch during fights but, I'm sure when your not fighting that you must be a nice girl. Even if your bitch of a sister isn't." He confessed to me, taking a final drag off of his cigarette, looking into my eyes afterwards and giving me a smile, as he threw his cigarette somewhere in the grass across from us.
Laughing at Johnny's words, I gave him another smile before talking to him.
And that's where we were for the next two hours. Sitting together on a bench in a park in Jump City in the middle of the night, enjoying each other's company. Just the two of us and Johnny's dog, Spike. Maybe underneath all his leather and his tough guy image, Johnny Rancid wasn't as a bad guy after all. Just maybe...
