Disclaimer: I do not own Teen Titans, but this is my plot, and don't think of stealing it and making it a real book, not cool. But you can use the plot and change it around.
There aren't enough good Robin apprentice stories out there especially ones that he actually stays evil.
I sit in my own lair pondering how I got where I was. How I Robin, the adopted son of multimillionaire Bruce Wayne, the sidekick of Batman, leader of the Teen Titans, son of the best acrobats in the world, became one of the most feared people of the world.
And a killer at that?
You will see things my way. I might even become like a father to you.
Those words rung threw my ears for seven years straight. Who would have thought that Slade was right all along? I remember the night I actually submitted to him, how naïve I was back then to not accept his offer sooner.
I had just went to Slade for my daily mission, he said he wanted me to go get him this blaster than could cut through any type of metal.
Flashback
"Robin, I want you to go to Wayne Enterprises and get the blaster for me" Slade said as I looked at him in his "throne".
"Whatever Slade, but this deal will only last for so long" I spat keeping my ground, whispering the last part.
I guess I didn't whisper good enough, because he heard every word and he wasn't so happy.
"Quite the contrary, this deal will last either until you die or I decide you are capable of having your own apprentice. And how disrespectful you are to your master, that might take some time" Slade said walking down from his throne towering over me.
"Why can't you get it through your thick head, that neither you nor anyone else is my master!" I yelled.
"Robin, Robin, Robin, I own you..." Slade started before kneeling me in the stomach.
"...you belong to me or have you forgotten that you're here because of your friends?" he asked me before punching in my jaw.
"Don't you dare bring them into this!" I yelled before throwing a punch towards him, but before I could react he grabbed my arm, twisted it and bent it behind my back, causing me to fall to the floor.
Master, father, teacher
"So you'd rather me kill them, Robin?" he asked as I screamed in pain.
"No, no, please, I'll do whatever you want, just please" I begged wincing in pain.
"Sorry, my boy, but that won't cut it this time. How does a father teach their son any lesson when they're disobedient, if they don't punish them?" he asked pushing my arm in a new position, causing more pain.
"Argggggggg!" I screamed and cried out as he continued my torture.
"Robin, whether you like it or not, you are my apprentice..." he started picking me up from the ground, tilting my head so I looked directly at him.
"My student..." he said delivering a blow to my rib, causing my to bite my lip, so I wouldn't scream. He wouldn't allow my head to move from his direction, even with that the light grip on my chin.
"And whether you learn to like it you are my son..."he said sending a kick to the back of my legs.
"Ahhhh, please stop!" I cried pleading that'd I'd actually listen to him for the time being if he stop the pain.
"I will never stop Robin, would a teacher stop? Maybe a master? But never a father, my boy, never" Slade said grabbing my shaking shoulders.
I had tears flowing down my eyes, from my mask, hoping it wouldn't get to moist, that I might have to go change it. I didn't want to delay my mission any longer, that he'd beat me again, so I tried to hold all tears.
He threw me on the floor, bleeding slightly, but not enough to need medical attention. I sat up on the floor head bowed in defeat, hands in lap, legs tucked in under me.
"You will go on your mission Robin, and you will succeed. If you fail me this time, boy, you will face the consequence; not only will your friends die, but you will pay. Do I make myself clear?" he asked with a devious tone, walking away from me.
"Yes, sir" I said keeping my head bowed before him, as he turned around and stopped in his tracks.
"I thought I told you to refer me to master, Robin. Most I also teach you a lesson in paying attention to your master?" he asked turning around looking at me.
"No master, please forgive me" I said whimpering the last part.
I asked the man to forgive me, for everything.
For disobeying him.
For going against his teachings.
For making him wait for the perfect apprentice.
"Succeed in your mission and you will be forgiven, apprentice, now go" Slade told me turning back and heading back to his computer.
I bowed at headed toward Wayne Enterprises for my mission.
A few minutes later I had already got the device Slade wanted and was heading back to his lair when...
"Stop right there thief!" Cyborg yelled pointing his cannon at my direction.
Not a word my boy, not a word, I heard Slade order in my earpiece.
I stepped out the shadows and they gasped at what they saw. They all mumbled the same thing at the same time...
Robin?
"Give back the device, now, Robin!" BB ordered changing into a rhinoceros.
I stood there looking at them curiously.
What are you doing, Robin, fight!
I sighed at not only Slade's request, but that my friends were so gullible.
I did a roundhouse kick hitting Cyborg so that his cannon blasted at BeastBoy. I looked over to look for Raven, but instead saw the naïve alien eyes of Starfire, the Tamaranean.
"Friend Robin, please stop, we only wish to help" Starfire said floating down to close contact with me.
Robin, remember our little chat, do you not wish to please your master, Slade hissed in my headset.
I jumped into the air and kicked her sending her into a wall, hearing her groan in pain. I continued to fight my friends, looking at how much pain they were in.
Part of me wanted to ask them if they were ok and then help them up.
But that part was slim.
The other part of me, wanted Slade's approval because a certain Dark Knight never approved of me.
Speaking of Batman?
All of a sudden Batman and Raven appeared in front of me with weary eyes.
"Robin, stop!" Batman ordered walking closer to me.
I hadn't heard Slade say a thing to me yet, so I figured he'd want me to fight him.
So I did.
I took out my Bo staff, twirled it in my hands and fought the Dark Knight.
"Robin, what are you doing? Stop this instant!" Batman yelled defending my blows.
"Yes, Robin, stop" a mysterious voice said coming from the shadows.
I already had an idea who it was and obeyed the command. I stepped back from my adoptive father and mentor and jumped over to where my new master was.
"Who...who are you? And what have you done to my son?" Batman stuttered as he was stunned that I was obeying someone other than him.
"Batman, I'm upset you don't remember me, but it has been a long time. You know me as Deathstroke, the Titans know me as Slade, but for my apprentice here, I'm known as master. You can pick which title between the three" Slade said placing his arm on my shoulder.
"Apprentice?" Batman stuttered as the Titans picked themselves up off the ground.
"Robin, I'm ashamed of you, you haven't told your former father, about your new career choice?" he asked placing his index finger under my chin, waiting for an answer.
"I apologize master, please forgive me" I said looking ashamed that I disappointed my master.
"You are forgiven my little bird, go deal with the Titans, while I talk to your father about some custody situations" he said as he took out his staff.
"Robin really is perfect don't you think, Batman. He just needed an incentive and a few needles" Slade said blocking Batman's punches and kicks.
"What do you mean needles Deathstroke?" Batman asked getting a kick in the ribs, not trying to groan in pain.
"Oh yes Batman, I forgot to tell you, how irresponsible of me. A few days after I captured Robin, I gave him the immortality shot, that only I survived..."Slade started dogging a bad blow that could have killed a normal human.
But Slade was not a human.
"What do you mean immortal?" Batman questioned, curiously.
"...I will never die and neither will Robin. I just added a few thing though, he will be bloodthirsty, he'll want to kill, he'll beg me to let him out to kill. No matter if you get him from me, he will never be the same the effect are irreversible" Slade said sending the final blow.
At the same time so did I with the Titans.
"Come apprentice, we have training to do" Slade said to me, leaving the unconscious heroes.
"Yes master, sir, is it true?" I asked risking another punishment.
"What my boy?" Slade asked knowing what I was asking.
"What you told Batman?" I asked as we hoped over buildings back to the hideout. He stopped grabbed me and shoved me up against the available building wall.
"Yes my little bird you are immortal and you will become very willing to kill someday" he said.
"Oh, thank you master, but I think that time is now " I said, this stunned him, so much he asked a follow up question.
"And why would you think that Robin?" he asked me watching my movements as I brought my hand to my face.
"Because I want to kill master, please teach me" I said ripping my mask off my face and bowing to him with respect.
"Very well, apprentice, and welcome home" was the last thing he said to me as Robin.
End Flashback
It was weird how the battle went, they tried their hardest to keep me down, but I knew it was for the better if I detached myself from them.
That's the reason why I left the Titans; the hero thing couldn't satisfy me.
I had adrenalin pumping through my body, I was bloodthirsty and my master was willing to feed me, if I defeated them.
He didn't want them kill that moment, but I should have killed them, to end their suffering.
Robin was dead the moment Slade entered the picture and gave me immortality.
Richard Grayson also died that day. My eyes are no longer a cheerful ice blue, but a bloody red color.
Slade had shown me eyes were like this once we got to the hideout, and said that someone so evil-looking, especially his apprentice, couldn't keep then name Robin.
I was no longer...
Richard John Grayson
Sidekick of Batman.
Leader of the Teen Titans.
I will always be...
Richard, son of Slade Wilson.
Student to Deathstroke the Terminator.
Apprentice to the legendary Slade.
I am now...
Bloodshed
"Sir, we just caught him" a man named Blake said bowing before me.
Blake is one of my great friends and he helps me manage things around here.
"Bring him in Blake" I said standing from my chair.
A few minutes later a boy about 15 was being dragged into my presence. He had jet black hair, green eyes and was thin for his age. He could fight so I took him as an apprentice.
Against his will of course.
"Hello my apprentice, tried to run away again, I see" I said to him grabbing his chin, just like when I was younger.
"I'll never be your apprentice!" he spat making me punch him for the disrespect.
"I used to say that to my master, boy, and lucky you..." I started waiting as he wiped his mouth, because of the dried up blood on his face.
"What are you talking about?" he asked.
I smacked him across the face then grabbed him by his hair so that he'd listen to me.
Just like Slade.
"You're coming with me to meet my old master, boy. His name is Slade" I said as fear went into his eyes.
Hey everybody it's me Sage.
I know its kind of hard to understand what was going on here but if you have any question ask it as a review.
Just to make it clear to those crazy people that don't like to read the details...
Robin accepted himself as Slade's apprentice, years later after leaving him he got his own. His apprentice runs away and gets brought back to Bloodshed's(Robin's) lair, there he gets pissed that the boy is so disobedient. He decides to take his apprentice with him to see Slade.
There happy know, I explained it.
Anyhow, those who like it please review and i'll have the next chapter up no later than June 22,2010.
