Chap 3 Curses
Night fell upon the Cave, Superboy and Robin had settled in for the night, Wally was in his room snoring loudly, and Aqualad was resting in his room. Meskin searched for the perfect curse to immobilize any troublesome enemies, the room Wally was keeping his souvenirs wasn’t guarded he had plenty of free space to work his magic.
Megan was going to the kitchen for a late night snack. Meskin’s curse was a red apple, it’s mere presence drew Megan to it. ‘Oh my this is the reddest apple I have ever seen.’ She hungered for the apple, more so than any food she had ever craved before. She picked up the apple and bit into it, in seconds she knew something was wrong, the inside of the apple turned black and the once red apple turned brown. “HELP!!” She sent out a mental blast before succumbing to the curse, her clothing changed to a white dress and she fell to the ground.
The mental blast woke everyone up and they rushed to Megan’s aid, Kid Flash was in a night shirt and pajama bottoms, Robin was wearing one of Superboy’s T-shirts which covered him completely, and Superboy was just in a pair of loose night pants, and Aqualad was shirtless and wearing something that could be best described as a black speedo. “What’s going on, and why are you wearing that?” Aqualad asked looking at Robin.
“Why are you wearing a speedo?” Robin shot back and Aqualad blushed.
“This is traditional Atlantion under…I mean sleepwear.” Aqualad said. “That doesn’t explain why you’re wearing…”
“GUYS!!” Wally shouted, interrupting the conversation. They went over to where Megan lie, the rotting apple still in her hand.
“Oh man what happened to her?” Wally said looking her over.
“I’m going to get Red Tornado, he needs to see this.” Aqualad said and raced off to get their live in mentor.
Robin examined Megan and noticed some clear odd things. “Poison apple, white dress, and she’s asleep not dead, this looks like something from Snow White.” Robin mused, Superboy remembered that story, Robin had read it to him before.
“That means she’ll wake up if she’s kissed by a prince, I’ll do it!!” Wally said and began to pucker his lips, Robin grabbed him by the hair and kept him from smooching the sleeping Megan.
“Easy Romeo we don’t know what we’re dealing with here, you could easily fall under the same curse as Megan did.” Robin said and Wally looked at him confused.
Aqualad returned with Red Tornado. “Robin what do you mean I could end up cursed like Megan?”
“Yes the common folk tale is that the prince kisses Snow White and wakes her up, but there’s a darker tale, the Prince kisses Snow White, and falls under the same curse, and the evil queen ruled both of their kingdoms. In the book I read it had a picture of the apple and it looked like this.” Robin said and pointed to the apple.
“Very clever.” A dark voice echoed in the room, and all the lights went out at once.
“Switching to back up power.” Red Tornado said and the lights kicked back on. Meskin was floating in the air with his book right in front of him.
“It’s that creepy doll!”
“It seems I chose the wrong person to get rid of, but I won’t make the same mistake twice.” Meskin glared at Robin and began to flip through the pages of his book. Superboy felt the threat from his words and was about to attack when Red Tornado blocked his path.
“Leave this to me.” He fired one of his tornados at Meskin.
The doll quickly closed his book, and used the book as a shield. The tornado did no damage to it. “Nice try, but not good enough!!” He opened the book and pulled out one of its pages. “I know how to deal with you tin man.” The page lit up and created a tornado of its own, the tornado consumed Red Tornado, and when the wind faded away he was no longer red, he was gray and rusted and no longer was able to move and had no power.
“No way, he took out Red Arrow in one shot.” Wally gasped in shock.
“You all will become slaves to my curses, from the darkest fantasies darkness shall spread and consume all that is good and just.” Darkness spewed from the book and changed the cave into a grand ballroom.
“What is all this?” The team looked around to find Meskin but he was missing.
“Robin Robin in the night, did you think your parents wanted you to fight?” Meskin’s voice echoed in the room, and people in masks appeared in the room and they were all dancing. Robin was frozen in shock, there at the head of the ballroom were his parents, they were wearing masks but it was them.
“Mom? Dad?” Robin took a step forward, and Wally and Superboy stopped him from going towards them.
“Rob, listen to me it’s just an illusion it has to be.” Wally said.
“But it’s them Wally, how could he know what they looked like, it has to be them.” Robin said, almost like he was in a trance. Wally slapped him, and Robin blinked. “I’m sorry, you’re right I don’t know why I thought…” Robin said and tears spilled down his cheeks.
Superboy looked about the room, he wanted to crush that puny puppet into saw dust. ‘How dare he make Robin cry!!’
“You miserable rat how dare you destroy this happy reunion!!” They looked up and saw Meskin on top of a chandelier he had another page from his book. “I saw that you were fast, but can you run for your life.” He tossed the page into the air and it changed into a red hood. Before Kid Flash could escape the red hood appeared on his back.
“You think this scares me I happen to like red.” Wally said, and Robin tugged on his pant leg.
“Kid Flash run!!”
“Why?!” Wally said then a spine tingling noise filled the ball room. “HHHHHOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!” From the book a massive wolf appeared from the pages. It’s eyes were blood red and it’s fur was midnight black. “Whoa!!” Wally ran and the wolf gave chase, with Wally running for his life, it gave Weskin a chance to try again on Robin.
“Go on little Robin your parents are waiting for you.” Weskin said and Robin was lifted up into the air and dragged over to his ‘parents’.
“No Robin wait!!” Superboy and Aqualad tried to give chase, but more masked people appeared and blocked their path.
“Damn it!!” They cursed as the people were strong and difficult to bypass.
Robin stood before his parents, and the two smiled at him. “You’ve grown up into such a fine young man. It’s time for you to find a prince who will love you. Per your request.” They presented Robin with a dagger and Robin didn’t want to take it, but his body wasn’t listening to him. He grabbed the dagger and his clothing changed into one of a prince.
Superboy’s eyes widened in shock. “I know what’s going to happen, we have to stop Robin he’s going to kill himself!!” Superboy said and began punching the masked dancers, but for each one he punched more began to appear.
“What do you mean he’s going to kill himself?” Aqualad shouted cutting down more masked people, each time he cut them they turned into darkness and more spouted up like weeds.
“Robin told me about this story, if he finishes his dance he’s gonna plunge the dagger into his heart!!” Superboy shouted, and he began to fight franticly trying to get to him. ‘He’s going to die, there’s is nothing you can do to stop it.’ That strange voice from his dream echoed in his mind. ‘No I must save him!!’
Music began to play and Robin began to dance, and the one leading the orchestra playing the music, was Meskin, dressed as a conductor and his book his instructors wand. “Dance Robin, dance and realize how alone you are!!” Meskin laughed and upped the tempo, the masked people began dancing and attacking the boys all at once, their strange moves made it difficult to fight them.
“Superboy, I’ll deal with these shadows, you get Robin!!” Aqualad said and his markings glowed, he created electric water whips and began dispersing the dancers and cleared a path for Superboy.
“I see so your skilled in the ways of magic, but not good enough my boy, to me your just a fish out of water!” From his instructor baton a magical beam that hit Aqualad dead on. Superboy looked back and stared in shock. Aqualad had been changed into a mermaid, well merman, but he had no legs just a fish tail.
“Superboy GO!!” Aqualad shouted and Superboy pushed onward. He fought his way through the crowd of masked dancers.
“Oh no you don’t.” He raised his wand and hit him with a curse, but Superboy was unaffected. “What?” He shot him again and again, but his spells just bounced off him like he was rubber. “How can this be happening, the only way I couldn’t curse him would be…Oh ho I’ll still be rid of you yet!!” He raised the wand and began to make the orchestra play faster, Robin and the masked dancers began dancing faster and faster.
“No Robin!!” Superboy tried to fight his way through, but that way was no longer effective, the dancers were stronger and faster, and from the way Robin was moving the dance was almost done.
Robin did a few final spins and raised the dagger up high.
‘No this can’t be happening!!’
‘He’s going to die…’
‘He’s Going To Die…’
‘HE’S GOING TO DIE!!!’
“NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!” In a burst of rage Superboy tore through the dancers and tackled Robin, Robin brought the dagger down into Superboy’s back!
“HA HA HA I win!!!!” (SMASH) Meskin looked on in shock as the dagger broke against Conner’s skin. “What the hell are you?” He shouted.
With the dagger broke Robin regained his consciousness and his parents vanished. “I’ll use a stronger curse you’ll see I’ll get you yet!!” He raised his wand and Robin through the half broken dagger at Meskin knocking the wand from his hand.
“Curse you I’ll get you for this!!” He dove for his wand only to get smacked by Aqualad’s tail. “Conner smash this stupid thing.” He grabbed the wand and threw at Conner.
“With pleasure!!” He broke the wand and waves of darkness ripped from the device. The ballroom vanished and the curses began to undo themselves. The wolf vanished as did the red hood, and Wally collapsed from exhaustion. Aqualad returned to human form, Red Tornado reverted back as well, Robin’s princely attire also vanished. Megan’s clothing reverted back to normal but she was still asleep.
“Wait where’s Meskin?!” Robin shouted and the team looked around but Meskin was gone.
Outside the Cave
The small doll began to run away. “Damn those brats I’ll have to get a new book from master.” He made his way into an alley and that was a big mistake, a green arrow flew through the air and pierced his wooden head. Dark smoke escaped his head and the puppet’s eyes turned white and cold. Meskin was dead.
Artemis smirked at her skill, she planned to join the team very soon.
Back in the cave
“I’ll go pick up Wally, then I’ll call the league, they should be informed of this.” Red Tornado said and left to take Wally to his room. Superboy picked up Robin bridal style.
“I’ll take care of Robin you look after Megan.” Superboy said and carried Robin to his room. Aqualad stared at Superboy a moment before taking Megan to her room.
Once Robin and Superboy were alone, Superboy started kissing Robin passionately.
“I was so scared (kiss) I thought (kiss) I lost you(kiss, kiss)” Superboy said between kisses.
“I’m okay Superboy just a little shaken up.” Robin nuzzled Superboy’s neck and clung to his muscled body.
“You almost died.” Superboy said sternly and put him to bed, crawling in after him.
“I’ve nearly died before, that’s not what shook me up.” Robin said and cuddled up to Superboy. “Promise me something Superboy. I know it’s a selfish request.”
“Anything.” Superboy said staring at his lover.
“Don’t die and leave me alone. I…can’t lose you…I…love…you.” Robin fell asleep a few tears rolling down his cheek.
“I love you to so much. I promise…” Superboy kissed the tears away and held Robin to him. It wasn’t long before sleep claimed the two of them.
Superboy’s dream
He was in a white abyss full of silver mist, there in the mist he saw the fortune teller again. He smirked and walked up to him. “I saved him, so what kind of future do you have for me now.”
“I’m so sorry, but my predictions are never wrong, it is his fate to die. You cannot save him.” The fortune teller vanished and Superboy sank to his knees. “No I Will Save Him!!!”
Hand of Curse End
To be continued in Hand of Power
The fortune teller appeared in the sky above the cave. “The hands of fate continue to move, and it seems the darkness will have its way.” He flipped over a card and it was pitch black with red eyes peering out. The fortune teller closed his eyes. “One of great power shall appear and destruction will spread, heroes and villains all can fall before the darkness.”
The man vanished as the sun began to rise. “Good Luck Young Heroes.”
