Chapter 12: The New Titans part 2
Zambie: LAST CHAPTER PARTY YA'LL! To be honest, I didn't know how I wanted to end this one but, here we go!
John P.O.V.
I looked at the tower and saw as my mom pulled over and dug through her glove compartment and hit a red button on the top that opened a tunnel learning under the water.
She drove through without speaking a word to anyone in the car. It was kind of scary. When I first met one of her coworkers, he said that she was the chattiest in the office. She and dad were always talking. Now we were all sitting in the car dead silent.
When we resurfaced, there were people standing around us and it seemed like they were waiting.
There was a green boy, a girl in purple, a girl who seemed like she could use some more clothes, and a man who was made of metal.
"Good to have you back Dix!" the green boy said. Now that I think about it, these people looked familiar, I remember looking through mom's closet to find some candy and there was a picture of these people, a woman with a mask and dress, a man in red and yellow with a lightning bolt on his chest, and another guy in red and yellow with a bow on his back.
Mom must have seen my confusion because she looked over to me and kneeled down next to me. "John, these are my friends. I know you think they look funny but it's not polite to stare," mom said as the others in front of me laughed at mom's behavior.
"Damn Dixie, you really know how to parent a child. Maybe next time you should wait until those people aren't around to hear it," the metal man said laughing.
"At least someone thinks that I can be a mom," my mom said before ushering all of the older people inside. I looked over at the teens who looked back.
"I don't think we've officially met, I'm Colin, this is Terra and Jaime," Colin said before ushering me inside too.
Dixie P.O.V.
"then that asshole said that just because I'm young means that I can't be a mother! Can you believe that Victor!" I shouted slicing the training dummy in half again with magic.
"I don't understand, we've been so good with him," Wally said with his head in his hands.
"Maybe you guys should let him start to train here, you said you were noticing something in the speedforce and Dixie I know that I've been noticing another demon rising," Rachel said pointing out that his powers should be developing by now.
"You're right, we should tell him the truth and let him start training with his grandparents," I said thinking about how much Bruce's training shaped me into the person I am today.
"Yeah, Barry will be super happy to train him just like he's been training Bart and Nora," Wally said.
"Mom?" John asked from the door. His eyes were bright red and he looked confused and scared. Rachel walked up to him and put her hands on his temples. I saw the new Titans standing at the door afraid of what they had just seen.
"Get ready for training, there is nothing to see here," I said glaring that them.
"Of course Nightshade," Terra said leading the others out of the room.
I looked at my phone that was buzzing in my backpack. No caller ID but I did recognize the number. I looked around before slipping out of the room. I pressed answer once I got to the bathroom.
"What the hell Slade, I'm not in the mood for your antics today," I said waiting for an answer.
"I most certainly am in the mood for yours though, why else would I have paid my secretary to ask if you are really the right choice to be a mother?" Slade asked chuckling low and deep into the phone. God I hated him.
"You did that? I had to take my son to the tower Slade, my son now knows he has powers and they have awakened in him. There is no way out of this. If he gets found out one of two bad things happens to me: I get called out for being a bad mother or my identity is trash along with Kid Flash's. I know how much you hate to lose your playthings Slade," I growled into the phone.
"You're right, I really do. You can now do one of two things: stay and enjoy your son and husband's last few moments of life or you can come with me willingly and no one gets hurt. Think about it, you have thirty seconds. There is no way that you can get to them in time," Slade said making my eyes go wide.
"I'll go with you," I said looking in the mirror. I took out some lipstick from the mirror and wrote out a small paragraph for John and Wally.
I'll see you again one day. This isn't because I don't love you... I love you both very much. Please be strong for me and don't try to find me. I don't want you to get hurt because of my past mistake. Be a good boy for me, John. I love you.
Dixie
Six years later
John P.O.V.
I looked at my mother's message one last time before putting my phone away. I still listen to her voicemails on my phone and mission logs on the computer. They help to put me asleep sometimes.
I heard gunshots from down below and dove off the roof to see a girl getting shot at by men. She was wearing armor with a black and orange metallic shine to it. Her hair was ink black and was tied together by orange tassels in the back of her mask.
"Get out of here kid, you have no idea what he'll do to you or me if he finds out that I talked to you," the woman said as I took out one of the gunmen.
"I was only trying to help you," I said looking over the woman.
"Didn't your mother ever teach you to stay out of a fight that isn't yours?" the woman growled out.
"I don't know, she left six years ago today. The last thing that she said to me was written in red lipstick on a mirror. She doesn't want me to find her but I will make up for lost time," I growled back.
"Why not start now kiddo? It's really been six years, didn't think it's been that long?" the woman asked before taking off her mask and shaking out her hair.
It was my mom. She was here but she was different. "Slade took me from you, I promise I'll be back in another, what was it, two years. That's all I have left John. I'll see you then," she said hugging me before jumping away.
She really is a hero. A true Titan. I know she'll come back for me. She said she will.
