(AN:) [ Uh, ignore this. I just need to get some anger out ] SCREW BETA-READERS! SCREW 'EM ALL! I CAN'T WAIT ANY LONGER! IT'S BEEN A WEEK!
If my beta-reader replies, I'll rewrite this, so just ignore the mistakes in here.
Disclaimer: I do not own the Teen Titans. I do, however, own Scarlett.
Well, we changed Scarlett again. (me and Frubal0v3r) Instead of her speaking one word in Spanish, she doesn't speak at all. Only when she's talking with Mas and Menos~
"Welcome friends to our first, Parents Night!" Starfire yelled, floating up in the air and seeing the hundreds of people in the Common Room.
"Remind me again why we're doing this," Robin said, standing on the side with Cyborg, Raven, Bumblebee and Beast Boy.
"One, you guys wanted to watch a movie as soon as you came back from your honeymoon," Raven began, rubbing her forehead to try and not have her powers go crazy.
"Two, you just had to watch that show with her," Cyborg said after.
"Three, you being the leader and she being your wife, you obviously can't say no to her," Bumblebee continued.
"Four, the other Titans agreed to this too," Beast Boy added.
"And here we are," The four said together, finished.
"Also remind me why we're in normal clothes rather than our uniforms," Robin said again.
"She wanted that too," They answered together.
"Make sure you tell me never to take Starfire to the movies again."
Scarlett sat on top of the roof, looking out towards the city. Sure, she wanted to be downstairs with Speedy and the others meeting their parents and guardian, but she couldn't stand seeing them.
Why? Her parents weren't here.
"Hey, Hun, what're you doing up here?" Speedy asked, appearing from the door.
"Leave, Speedy, you're supposed to be downstairs enjoying your time with Green Arrow," Scarlett answered softly, still looking out. Speedy walked over and sat next to her, resting his head on the side of her neck.
"How can I have fun if you're up here?"
"Yes, you will, with your friends." Scarlett wanted him to leave. Why should he be unhappy if she is?
"They're your friends too, Jess."
She couldn't say anything. Scarlett knew the others are her friends, but it's not them that are the problem. She couldn't let Speedy know the real truth or else he would be sitting here with her until they came.
"Speedy, do you mind if I had some alone time for a minute?" She asked, sighing.
"Sure thing, you know where to find me," Speedy said, peeking her lips before getting up and leaving.
When he left through the door, Scarlett took a deep breath and exhaling, felling a little better from Speedy's visit. Soon, she heard a weird a sound in front of where she was sitting. Scarlett leaned over, but didn't see anyone. Soon, there was something that zipped up, knocking her backwards. She was able to flip over and land on her feet. Looks like those training classes Robin made her and Terra take actually did come in handy.
"A villain?" Scarlett asked herself, hearing the man, but not seeing him anywhere.
"Hello Scarlett," He greeted.
"How do you know my name?" She demanded, causing her hands to glow purple. If this really was a villain, then she'd have to be ready to attack.
"Oh, I know more than you think."
Scarlett kept walking in circles, hoping to see who this guy thought he was. Apparently he thought he was cool and kept hidden. When she turned around, there she saw the guy in the corner. He started running towards her until the next thing she knew, Jericho stood in front of her, looking into her eyes and soon she couldn't see anything else.
Jericho entered Scarlett's body as he shot out a mouse, tangling the villain's feet. He tripped and fell.
"Why, Joey, how could you do that to your own father?" Slade asked, ripping the cord off his feet.
"You're not my father anymore! Ever since you let those men cut my kneck when I was little-"Jericho said before Slade front kicked him, sending Jericho flying backwards towards the edge. Luckily, he was able to stop himself before he fell down.
"I thought we should always forget about the past."
"I will never forget nor forgive what you did. What are you doing here anyways? The Titans and I will stop whatever you're doing!" Jericho said, getting up on his feet.
"What, can't a father just have a chat with his son?" Slade asked.
"No," Jericho answered, charging towards Slade, throwing viruses at him. Slade threw them off his body. They fell on the floor and disappeared. Jericho then summoned speakers, having music blast out of them and Slade slowly was pushed back.
"Give up now Slade!" Jericho said, jumping onto of the speakers and throwing computer mouses and keyboards at him.
"Joey, stop this instinct!" Slade yelled, blocking his face from the objects thrown at him.
"You can't tell me what to do!"
Slade jumped up, above Jericho's head. He faced his fist down, aiming for Jericho, but he jumped away before Slade reached him. The speakers disappeared having Slade back on the roof.
"Has anyone seen Jericho?" Kole asked, walking around the room.
"Jericho? I have not seen him," Starfire answered, he and Galfore walking towards her.
"Oh, I hope he's not upset with this whole idea," Kole whispered to herself.
"Pardon me?" Starfire asked.
"Nothing! Thanks for your help anyways, Starfire," Kole said, walking away from him.
"There is something she is hiding," Galfore said, looking at the direction Kole left.
"Do not worry Galfore, she is just worried on Jericho's presence," Starfire said.
"Jericho, you don't understand. I couldn't give those men the information they wanted."
"You should have been more careful with taking care of me and Grant!" Jericho jumped up and kicked his face sideways, having Slade stumble back. With each hand he swung, trying to hit Slade, he said, "You don't know how much mom suffered because of your selflessness. You were the reason why everyone kept coming after her!"
"You know I loved Adeline."
"Well, from the path you went down, it didn't seem like it!"
"Alright Joey, if this is what you want, then so be it," Slade said. He punched Jericho in the stomach; stopping and having him fall to the ground. Slade then picked him up, throwing him forward as he started running. Jericho was able to lift himself up and dodge his attack. Both were on either side of the roof, facing each other. Slade then ran towards Jericho and vice versa.
"Excuse me, Trigon and Arella, but I need to steal your daughter for a minute," Kole said, walking towards the Roth family, taking Raven's hand and pulling her out in the hallway.
"Kole, what's wrong?" Raven asked.
"It's been about twenty minutes and I can't find Jericho anywhere. I'm really getting worried and I was wondering if you could try and maybe find him," Kole said, with her puppy dog eyes. Raven sighted, those eyes never worked on her, but she knew she had to help her.
"Alright, Kole, come on, we'll go to my room and see if I can find him," Raven said, walking towards her room with Kole behind her.
When they got inside, Raven sat on the bed as Kole stood in front of her. Raven sat in her meditating position and said, "There's something new I want to try. Instead of me trying to find him, you can try since you know him better. What do you think?"
"Are you sure I can do it?" Kole asked, sitting next to Raven on the bed.
"Positive, all you have to do is just think about him," Raven said, taking her hands and soon chanting, "Azarath Mention Zinthose." Kole closed her eyes and thought about Jericho. Soon, she felt as she was pushed out of her body and racing through the tower.
"Jericho? Can you hear me?" Kole asked.
"Kole, is that you?"
"Yes! Oh, Jericho, where are you?"
"I'm kind of busy right now."
"Busy?"
Kole then found Jericho on the rooftop. Why didn't she check there? She gasped when she saw what was going on. Scarlett was fighting with Slade, but she thought she heard Jericho.
"Joey, I didn't become evil just for fun, I did it to save our family!" Slade yelled, jumping up to avoid Scarlett as she tried to tackle him.
"There were clearly other ways you could have tried to do," Scarlett said, jumping up and grabbing his feet and throwing him on the ground and she tied him up with the wire from a computer mouse.
Wait, Slade just called Scarlett by Jericho's real name. Could this mean that Jericho was in Scarlett's body? Kole couldn't ask for the next thing she knew, she was back in her own body and facing Raven.
"What happened?" Raven asked. Kole didn't answer; she raced out of the room, "Kole?
Slade kicked Jericho, sending him backwards.
"I had enough of this. Joseph, if this is what you really want, then fine by me," Slade said, "I tried to apologize, tried to have you understand, but still haven't gotten anywhere."
Jericho lifted his head and saw Slade in front of him. Slade then punched sideways, knocking Jericho out of Scarlett's body.
Slade pushed Jericho aside, knocking him on the side of the roof as he picked up Scarlet.
"She will come in handy," Slade said to himself, "And to make sure you don't wake up." He took something out of his pocket and throwing it behind him. Smoke came out of the small device and the only thing Jericho was able to see was Slade jumping off the roof, disappearing in the darkness.
