Teen Titans Code Blue Chapter 2: Mystery PT1

"So how long were you lurging on the streets?" asked Robin "Since i was  10, the was over 5 years ago." D.B. said back and Star said "So you were out in the wild without a home?" and he said "Yea." and Star said back "well, did you not feel lonley by yourself?" and he said "No. I made lots of friends out on the road. But i always thought that i needed to stay at one place." and then Robin said "So hows it finally feel to stay with us?" D.B. said "Great, I can finally take a shower" he chuckled. After that they went out for pizza, well... they actually didn't get the pizza becouse they couldn't decide which kind to take, they came back into the tower and found a strange note on the table. it read Don't get too used to him, he will be mine, one day he will, one day he will die working for me. "What is that about?" Beast Boy asked and D.B. said "I don't know." as he shrugged his shoulders. And Robin said, I think I know who is behind this. Slade Robin said with a cold shudder  running down his back. That afternoon the titans were scared as hell  becouse of that note. They decided to split up into groups and search the city for any sign of Slade but they didn't find anything but one thing.  Slades old mask. The titans didn't know alot about their new friend  but now tey were starting to get worried becouse of the past. That had happened with Terra, their friend, was drawn in by Slade and was forced to work for him. They were afraid that was the same case  here, or he could already be spying on them for Slade. He was not. He was not being used by Slade, he didn't know about Slade until now. But there was a possibility about Terra. She went to the dark side. It was her choice. After he heard about what has happened to the titans already becouse of Slade, he had been furious. He left that night to have a look at the quiet city. At Jump City. while he was walking he noticed taht someone  was following him. He didn't want to reveal hmself so D.B. kept on walking. Suddenly, Slade jumped out and wanted to fight D.B. for him so he will work for Slade. "Guess not" D.B. said. He pulled out his fighting stick and fought him. While they were fighting. Back at titans tower, Cy woke up and found D.B. gone. He alerted the titans and went to look for him. In about 15 minutes. They found  him fighting Slade in Mid-Town. Then Slades robots came jumping out as each robot knew how to bring each titan down. All were down but one. Raven was about to fly into the battle to help D.B. but it was too late. Like in her dream, she had been hit by one of Slades contraptions and was stuck in the air. She watched D.B. get beat up like in her dream. She trembled trying to break loose of the force field. She fought the tears that were trying to get loose in her eyes. She tried her best. No luck. She was still stuck. Suddenly D.B. got flung across the street like in her dream. well.... not only in her dream. In his dream also, but thats  what she didn't know, he had the power to tell the future. He lied there motionless. She shouted wit a sob "D.B. Get Up!!!" as he still lied there motionless. Slade then threw a smoke bomb next to him as smoke came up around him. A few seconds  later, he was gone. Vanished into thin air.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Wake up apprentice." a fimiliar voice said. D.B. slowly opened his eyes and looked up as he saw Slade up next to him. D.B.  got up and asked him "What do you want from me Slade?" and he said "I dont want anything form you, I do not want you, I want, I want your powers. I want you to work for me. You know get the dirty stuff out of my way. If you disobey me, I will kill you. Death for you, slow death. That armlet that you have on your  right arm, it can instantly charge you with more than one hundred thousand (100,000) volts of electricity. Now if you start now i shall  get my revenge on the titans." D.B. mearly looked up at him and said "So technically I have no choice." and Slade Laughed  under his breath "No, child." and he said "Then I guess I have to do it."  As much as D.B. didn't want to be Slades task boy, he had no choice. He said to himself while he was rushing to the first robbery he was sopposed to make. "Well, I could have went and died in hell better than do this **** for Slade." As he got there, as quick as possible, he rushed into the testing lab, stole what he needed and went out. Outside he was running away with the stuff as he stumbled onto  something he didn't want to. The Teen Titans. Cy yelled "Yo, show your face coward!" as he turned around, the titans had lost it all. They felt cold silver daggers stabbed  through their hearts as to what they saw. They saw D.B While everyone was frozen still as their friend was stealing. They obviously knew it was Slade but they weren't  sure, he didn't have anything on his entire body that could make Slade control him. He attacked. As they fought him he defeated then one by one. They were shocked. While he was jumping at Raven, She tried to talk to him. She couldn't. He wasn't listening. After he was done, he  then dissapeared into the sunset, but leaving only one thing a signature at the crime scene. A graffiti tag of a  criminal, Marked Slade. They went back to the tower to  investigate. "Well he wasn't doing it on purpose." Cy  said "And he wasn't doing it by accident." said Star "So he must have been doing it by force." said Robin  They all agreed. "So how are we going to solve this?"  said Beast Boy and Raven said "We have to find out what he is being forced by and who he is forced by." as they set out to find him. At Slades headquarters, Slade was saying how proud he was of D.B. and how he was going to be even prouder in the future. "I'll find a way out of this Slade. You Know It!" yelled D.B. "Well, well aren't  we planning a little too ahead, arent we D.B.?" and D.B. said "No, i'm planning perfectly into the future in my dreams. I ain't gonna do ******** for you, you hear  me, nuttin, nada, zero, zip,nothing. "Oh but you will child. You have to" Slade said. "Well too bad, id rather  die now than this **** but you have to make me die slow and i'll find a way to get out of this any day now." D.B. said. That next day at sunset, they met with him. And yet again he fought them. Even though he was still there, Robin ordered a full out attack no matter if he is still himself or not. He again took down the titans one by one then it happened. Suddenly. He disobeyed Slade when Raven communicated him telepathicly and he told her that he has to be brought down. "Raven. I don't deserve this, hurting my friends? No I can't. You must kill me! You must!" D.B. said in the telepathic communication. She then said "But isin't there another way? There must be! There Must! It can't be the end. I didn't know you that much. Your stories, they teach me! I must know more!" As she looked into his eyes. "Yes there is another way, You must put your mind and soul to figure it out. Trust me." D.B.  said and she said, "I will find it" as then Slade triggered it. Slade was telling him what to do through the earpiece. D.B. wasn't responding. He was just standing there. Like he would be dead. The Slade did it. Ahhhhhhhhhh! D.B. yelled as he was falling to the ground. His face hit the cold, hard, grey cement. Raven looked at him. She has seen it all, well... thats what she thought. D.B. couldn't  stand it. Through the tears and sobs he was fighting, he yelled at the titans "Ahhhhhhhhhh! Please just kill me! Do it! It's the only way!" But Raven said. "No, we can save him but we must let him beat us. For now." as they stood down the shock ended. He then said "What's the matter! Fight me!" They did but poorly. Soon he left into the sunset again, but this time he walked calmly.  

"He is under Slade's control!" yelled Raven with a angry voice as she punched the table. "So that's why." said Robin. "Well now what do we do?" asked BB. "I have to find out how to get  rid of Slade so that he loses the control over D.B." and she left the room as she headed into her room. "Well, that is just peachy! Our new friend is taken over by a phsycotic villan, we have no focus over what's happening, and we have no  idea to what to do!" yelled Cy. "Maybe. Maybe not. Give Raven some time and she'll find out how to stop Slade.  She knows becouse she got a chance to talk to him. Maybe she knows. But she dosen't want to tell us. Maybe she has something for him." said Robin. "Well let's give her time" said Star. "We will. We have to. But this. This keeps repeating. The apprentices. The thing Slade has for hiding himself." said BB. "Well, for now let's forget about it. Let's leave it up to Raven." said Robin.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Well, Won't your friends rescue you D.B.?" asked Slade. "Maybe, maybe not." said D.B. "Wait Why should I care? I shouldn't" said Slade. "Maybe they will come for me. But for now I'm just paying attention on what you're telling me Slade." said D.B. That night at titans tower. Raven was in bed strugguling to go to sleep. No titan could. She then finally fell asleep at 2 in the morning. And  unexpectadly, a dream came. She was standing in the dark as a mysterious starnger cam up to her. It was D.B. He said " I'll be back. One day i will. I promise. Since Slade has a grip on me, I have to leave. But i'll be back one day. I promise. He then put his arms around her and kissed her. As shocked as she was, she was very sad for some reaso, she enjoyed the kiss.  She then looked at his body which was fading away. She said "I love you." in a soft quiet voice, almost as she would have whispered it. Then she woke up as she was panting. She looked at her door and then at the skateboard that D.B. left in her room when he was meditating with her before Slade got his hands on him. She then said quietly "This isin't over. It isn't over Slade. He'll be back. My friend will be back one day." Then her voice faded as she fell asleep again. But was destiny yet to come true?
