Life as Normal People

The Battle

Robin's POV

I was strapped tight onto a silver panel. And next to it I saw a kit filled with scissors, knives, etc. All of them were weapons. But I had no idea why the pair of scissors were there. I looked at the man in the clock doing his face reveal I knew who  it was. "SLADE!! YOU WON'T GET AWAY WITH THIS!!!!" I yelled my loudest. His face was just a skeleton. His mask wasn't on. And he had a red X mark to where his right eye should have been. "You will die slowly. Suffering in pain of hunger and thirst. While these two. Starfire, Robin. Will be tortured for misbehaving," Slade said. Starfire, too? "Mmmph!" I heard Starfire cry out. I couldn't see her. But my eyes narrowed over to I saw where she was at. Slowly Slade picked a little knife. And smiled on his skinless-face.

"I meant for you to see her. So that way you could be tortured twice," Slade said and and that female robot that I saw in the tube was here. She was snipping a pair of scissors in her robotic hand. I struggled to break free. But the leather holding me on the pane, only got tighter. "STARFIRE!!!!" I yelled and she continued to muffle into tears of struggle. I tried to break free. But before I knew it there was water in the leather. Sort of loosening up the grip. "ROBIN!! GO!! NOW!!!" Aqualad yelled. I knew it. Only he could have done this. I nodded and loosened up my wrists and ankles then the female robot gripped tight on my shoulders. "Where do you think you're going? Robin?" She said and I felt her try to crack my bones.

Then I heard sparks. I looked behind me and saw that the robot was shorted out. "Seems like she was shorted out. But that still won't save your friend," Slade said drew his knife closer to Starfire's chest. "STAR!!!!" I yelled and quickly took out a flying disc from my utility belt. But wait... They emptied out all my weapons before I got here. "NO!!!" I yelled and Slade jabbed his knife when a jagged rock hit it knocking it out of his hand. Terra. "Seems like you messed with the wrong crew," Terra said smirking and her eyes glowed bright yellow. "EVERYONE GO NOW!! THIS MAY GET A LITTLE OUT OF HAND!!" Terra screamed her loudest and everyone exited out to where Starfire and I went from. Terra, Aqualad, and I stayed. But Slade and Starfire did too.

"Terra. How dumb you are. I was the one who taught you everything. How your earth. Can turn to diamonds," Slade said and crushed Terra's jagged-like rock and the outcome was it turning into a blue and shiny object. Terra's eyes widened. But that didn't lessen her anger. She furiously yelled and a rock came from beneath her feet shaped into the same object that Slade just crushed in his hands. Aqualad would only make her weak. So he helped me with Starfire. "As you normal humans would say. Bring. It. On," Slade said and henchman came from behind his back. Where in he world did he get henchmen all of a sudden? That's not important. Right now it's Starfire.

"HURRY UP AND GET STARFIRE YOU TWO IDIOTS!!! I CAN'T HOLD THEM OFF FOR LONG!!" Terra said and rocks came crashing down from the roof like hail fresh from a cloud. Aqualad nodded and seeped water through Starfire's wrists and ankles so the leather or rope burning through her skin would loosen up on the grip and she'll be able to break free. I saw that tears were in her eyes. She was struggling to break free but even Aqualad's water couldn't help it.

"Hold on Star!" I yelled out and ran to the kit where Slade had his weapons. The scissors were missing. I took out one of the knives in there and I ran to where Starfire was strapped. But all of a sudden I heard the lights go out and everything was pitch black. All of a sudden I felt something metal grab my hand. "Where are you going, Robin?" Someone said in a monotone and robotic voice. I couldn't see who was it. I couldn't break free from his grip. And Aqualad couldn't short him out since his abilities only worked in the ocean. And it was pitch black there was no way he could see me.

But then Terra, she's out of control there's no way she'll be able to see Slade's minions. Also for Slade, there will be no way he can see Terra. We're in a good and bad situation right now. And it's mostly bad. "How can we get the lights back on?!" I yelled to Aqualad. I didn't hear a single voice respond. "Aqualad?! Do you hear me?!" I yelled. "Aqualad are you here?!" I yelled again. That's the third time. There was no response.
