Darkness Within (ON HOLD AND MAJOR EDITING BEING DONE)

Chapter 10 ~ Let's Play Twenty Questions

When I enter the house Dad is in there, waiting for me. He can't leave until the mission is complete. Then he will leave and have his fun.

"The mission is still on. Though first I wish to hear how you ended up at S.H.I.E.L.D. which in turn forced me to come save you," Loki says in full buisness mode.

"I got drunk, Thor found me, took me to S.H.I.E.L.D, I escaped, won a bet against Spider-Man, got injured, he gets a friend to try to help me, I become even more injured, they take me to S.H.I.E.L.D, I end up needing surgery, I have to heal, they couldn't decide how to get me home, I trained a bit with Spider-Man against orders from Fury, then you guys showed up," I deadpan.

Disappointment sits on his face. I get it. I'm a screw up. I've always known this. He continues to tell me about how I have to start from the beginning of the mission since I waited to long. Just great. At least he didn't call me a mewling quim this time.

Mom comes home from another day of work. Mom and Dad have expressionless faces whenever they are in the same room. That reminds me. How did I happen?

"What's the story here," I question catching them both off guard.

Confused Dad asks, "Pardon?"

With a roll of my eyes I reply, "How did I happen? You guys are just not similar. What caused me to happen?"

"After snatching some jewels and beating up thugs one day I noticed him fighting Thor and a Black Widow with no help what so ever. I jump in and help. We begin to fight together and were actually a good team. He got me to become a villain once again. We became friends with benefits, if you will, and I soon found out I was pregnant with you. Things then became awkward with how this was going to work," mom sighs out.

"Wow. Okay," that's all I could think to say.

I leave the room and pull on my costume slowly. My nerves are still in a bunch so this is going to be interesting. I decide to wear a hood this time and pull up the hood. Deciding to walk towards the park, I head on that direction. To lazy to actually cause a fuss, I lay down in the middle of the park where I know everyone can see me. They, of course, run off in fear.

After a couple minutes the Teen Titans stand over me. Beastboy goes to cuff me when I kick him in the face. He flies back and the others jump into fighting positions. I grab Cyborg's arm and twist it to aim for Starfire and Raven. Raven jumps out of the way in time as Starfire is blasted into a tree, injured. I then twist Cyborg's arm again to aim at his metal stomach. He falls to the floor with a gash in his circuits or something. I don't know that much about technology.

Robin jumps at me and I step out of the way. He falls on his face. I can't help but laugh. In the middle of me laughing I am blasted with dark energy. I turn around and see Raven. As I get into a fighting stance Robin comes up behind me and grabs me.

I blast Raven back with what was supposed to be a ball of water as I struggle with Robin. I really did not want to use my powers because of my emotions. I accidentally made a small ball of fire and instead of it going to Raven it goes to the tree next to her. Soon fire begins to surround us. Panic crosses all of our faces before we try to save ourselves. She goes to her teammates and starts to teleport them out. Robin and I begin to help.

After all of them are out we try to stop the fire. I try to freeze them but they continue to grow. Since we are enemies and the fire is getting to much Raven saves herself and Robin. Gee, thanks. Hero of the year everybody.

The heat and smoke soon become to much for me. I fall to the floor and struggle to keep my eyes open; let alone breath. As my eyes begin to close and I start to loose conciousness I see Power-Man run through the flames. That's the last thing I saw.
