The Outskirts of Markovia: Night

Third Person POV:

"The moment we have been waiting for is here." The sound of Deathstroke's stern voice reverberates inside Tara Markov's head. 

"On our signal, you are to publicly kill Garfield Logan" Tara's face stays as determined as ever as she glides across the water atop a rock with her teammates, including her brother Brion, clad in his Geoforce outfit, Victor Stone, AKA Cyborg, and Garfield Logan, AKA Beast Boy, who flies as a bird right next to her.

Sometime Later...

Main Square of the Markovian Castle: Night

Brion POV:

I stand face to face with the man responsible for the death of my parents and the disappearance of my sister Tara. Baron Bedlem. The smirk on his face enrages me as he gets into a fighting stance, his rock-covered exterior ready for any attack I can throw his way. My mind clicks into place knowing there is only one way to stop him. I thrust my hands into the ground, drawing the lava from within and sending it straight toward him. I use my mind and will the molten lava to engulf his entire body except for his head, holding him in place. Even as strong as he may be, the now-cooled rock stops him from moving completely. 

I then turn my molten hands into spiked pieces of rock, hitting his face over and over, not wanting to stop until he is no longer conscious. 

"You kidnapped my sister! Murdered my parents! Betrayed crown and country!"

The rock exterior covering his face eventually gives way as my final blow reveals his unprotected face to me. 

He breathes heavily. "Stop..please.." he says with bated breath. "I-I surrender" he utters those words as his head sags downward. He looks at me, eyes pleading for me to stop. 

For a moment, I see the weakness behind his scared eyes. But then the memories of everything flash through my mind. My parents. Tara. My country. The brief moment of pity subsides as I turn my hands back into molten lava. 

"Surrender is too easy!" I say with so much anger in my voice. 

I hear shuffling from nearby than a voice. "Geoforce no!"

I turn to see the injured BeastBoy limping towards me, my hands staying still to see what he has to say.

"The Outsiders are beacons of hope. We don't deal out punishment!" His eyes plead with me to stop what I'm doing and reconsider my actions.

I hesitantly stop and look at Bedlem. Garfield is right. He is defeated and Markovia is saved. There is no reason to spill anyone's blood, not even Bedlams. My hands change back to normal as I breathe in and out deeply. I look behind me and see Halo(Violet). Her expression goes from worry to relief. I look into her eyes with admiration and, dare I say, love. Her eyes seem to say the same thing as we have our small little moment after the battle is won. 

Third Person POV:

Tara stares at her brother and Garfield as Deathstroke's voice once again speaks to her from the earpiece hidden in her ear. 

"Brion is right. Bedlem caused all your misery.'

Taras's mind flashes with memories of her being taken and forced to gain meta powers and used as an assassin by members of the light.
