(A/N: I don't own any Teen Titans and all that stuff) Now that the disclaimer is out of the way I can go on with the summary. This is my first Teen Titans fan fic so bare with me here. (After Season 4) Slade has decided to hurt the Titans where it matters most. In the form of its leadership, this of course is in the form of Robin. In a well designed trap that separates the Titans to the four corners of the city where Robin is forced to confront Slade in a one on one fight like the old days, but Slade reveals things about his intentions are for Robin and not all is what it seems to be when it comes to Slade's plans.
Chapter 1-Best Laid Plans
It started out like a normal day as any other day for the Titans as they watched over their city in their giant T shaped tower and protected it from those who would destroy it or cause terror in its streets. That's how things were supposed to be for them as if it were a normal thing. However, not all things that day were normal as the once peaceful day progressed into a horror of unfathomed proportions. It had been a few months since Trigon had been defeated making everything for the Titans seem easier to handle by comparison. Until they got a transmission from an unexpected person simply known as...
"Slade," said Robin as the Titans looked on the giant screen seeing Slade's one eyes masked face that only Robin had seen passed when Slade was without...flesh.
"Hello Robin. It feels like such a long time since last we spoke. My apologizes for not contacting you sooner, but I've been busy regaining my control over the criminal world since my...departure from it as you already know. Now that I'm back stronger the ever I think its time to start my next plan for this city...and to see if you have what it takes...to stop me," said Slade in a cool and calm voice.
"What is it your planning Slade?" said Robin angrily.
"You should never ask such things Robin. It spoils the surprise," said Slade who cut the transmission.
Robin slammed a fist down onto the control panel in anger. "Robin please calm down Slade will not reveal his plan till he feels it is the right moment and as he said we must unfortunately wait," said Starfire calmly as she put a hand on Robin's shoulder.
"Yeah you gotta chill or Slade will get to you like he did before," said Cyborg.
"You're right will just have to...," said Robin when the alarm went off signaling that the city was in trouble.
"That didn't last long," said Beast Boy frowning.
"Looks like that was the surprise!" said Raven depressingly as always.
"This can't be right?" said Robin brought up the problem on the screen from where the trouble was and discovered it was more then one location.
It was in four different spots scattered throughout the city with Cinderblock was destroying a police station to the east, Plasmus was in a chemical plant to the North, Overload was at the cities main power plant to the South, and Dr. Light was at the gold depository to the West. There was no sign of Slade on either screen of the four locations that were being attacked, but Robin knew better. "Four places being attacked at once that insane!" said Cyborg in surprise.
"Whoa dude! That's four big surprises in one," said Beast Boy in shock with his mouth hanging down in surprise from the camera feed from the security cameras.
"Yeah, but we can stop them despite them being scattered in the city. Raven will take Dr. Light, Starfire will take Overload, Cyborg will take Cinderblock, and Beast Boy will take Plasmus," said Robin as looked at the screen carefully.
"Robin what about you?" said Starfire curiously.
"I have to stay here in case Slade shows himself in a different location. If he does I'll contact you and tell you where he is before I go to face him," said Robin.
One by one they all left the tower except for Robin who stayed at the computer console monitoring the situation from their in case of Slade showing himself. Starfire was the last to leave because she had seen this type of behavior in Robin on multiple occasions and the last occasion nearly killed him from the inside-out. "I hope that you do not overdue yourself again Robin," said Starfire aloud as she flew to her destination where Overload was.
Robin watched the screen, which was divided into four different ones for each crime he witnessed. Surely enough Raven, Cyborg, Starfire, and Beast Boy each went to their intended targets and started the fight. "What are you playing Slade?" said Robin out loud as he stared at all four screens.
Suddenly the screens became one and Slade appeared once more in front of him in a live feed. "Hello Robin miss me much?" said Slade in a cheery yet disturbing voice sort of way that indicated he was obviously happy with what was happening.
"Slade! Where are you?" said Robin in a demanding voice.
"Now now Robin. What did tell you about having patience?" said Slade.
"I've been patient long enough since you were gone and your return," said Robin angrily.
"To be honest Robin I completely agree with you. So to make it up to you I won't keep you waiting any longer. Why don't you meet me at these coordinates I'm transmitting to you...alone," said Slade whose face moved to the left showing the coordinates on the map of the entire city and where they led to.
"Why should I?" said Robin said suspiciously.
"It's not important if you show up or not Robin if that's what you're thinking. I just wanted one more fight with you one on one in the ways of the warrior and martial arts. IF you can defeat me...I'll surrender to you nice and peaceful like," said Slade in a calm, but still chilling voice.
"And if I lose?" said Robin.
"You should never say that Robin or else you will," said Slade who cut the transmission showing only the coordinates on the map on the screen.
Robin moved the screen with coordinates to the left and brought up the security camera footage showing his friends fight Slades minions. So far everything was all right with his friends who seemed to have everything under control...for now.
Robin had to make a choice on whether or not to go fight Slade alone and on his own without the help of his friends. He knew from experience that Slade was a highly skilled martial artist and was clearly the superior fighter so it didn't make sense for Slade to challenge Robin to one on one combat in the ways of martial arts. However, if he were to accept and did in fact defeat Slade he could find out his true identity and end the conflict. He had to make a choice. "I don't know what your planning Slade, but I will stop it...no matter what the cost," said Robin as he turned off the screen and followed the coordinates he saw before.
Robin got on his wing glider attachment and went to the roof and went flying to his destination where Slade was not realizing that Slade was watching him fly to him. "Heheheh. That's my boy. You couldn't refuse could you? I don't blame you Robin I'd probably wouldn't either if I were you, which makes this so much easier to predict your every move," said Slade as his prey came closer to him.
