JackalGod: First eva Teen Titans fic. Hope it's good, bet it's not. Enjoy
A dark figure glided through the streets of Jump City. He was dressed all in black with a cloak and hood that shrouded his face in darkness. It was night and the figure seemed to blend in with the shadows while avoiding the light from the street lamps. He paused in his walks when a man in armour and a mask ran past him closely followed by a teenage boy dressed in yellow, black, and green.
"Come back and fight you coward!" cried Robin chasing Slade onto the roof of an apartment building. Slade stopped running and turned to face Robin
"Now, now Robin. Insults aren't becoming of you." he purred before dodging a swing from Robins Bo Staff
"For you I would always make the exception." snapped Robin taking another shot at Slade but missed "Now what are you up to? You sent enemies to keep my friends occupied then you turned up knowing I would go after you. What is it that you want?" Slade smirked behind his mask and pulled out his own Bo Staff and summing a fighting position
"Jut you Robin. Just you."
Nearby the dark figure had silently followed both Robin and Slade to the top of the building using the shadows for their purpose, hiding. Robin and Slade's weapons met it midair with resounding clangs trying to push each other back
"What is your deal Slade?" demanded Robin pushing hard against Slade but having no effect "It's been three months since I was your prisoner"
"You were my apprentice Robin. Not my prisoner" replied Slade flicking his wrist and knocking Robin's weapon off the building. Robin then attempted to use his grappling hook and line to rid Slade of his weapon as well but failed. As soon as the cord was wrapped around, the tip of the Bo Staff Slade pulled it like a fisherman would his fishing rod, reeled Robin in close, and wrapped the cord around the boy's throat. Robin's hand instinctively went for the cord allowing Slade to trip the boy onto his back while he was off guard.
"You let your guard down Robin" purred Slade keeping Robins quickly tiring body pinned to the ground with ease "Now you'll pay the price of your lack of concentration" with that Slade tightened the cord around Robin's throat effectively cutting off the boys air supply. Robin squirmed in vain desperately trying to get air to his deprived lungs. Soon he began to feel light-headed and his grip on the cord loosened. Just before darkness consumed him, Slade was knocked from the roof by a hooded figure
"Raven?" murmured Robin before precious sleep consumed him
Robin opened him eyes, quickly aware of his lack of dress, he had in fact been stripped of everything but his pants. Robin raised his head but immediately regretted it as a wave of dizziness struck him. He tried to raise his hand to his head but found that his hand, in fact all of his limb were strapped down firmly to the surface he was currently lying on.
A light over head flicked on bathing Robin in a harsh white light and making him cringe slightly.
"I see you're awake." came an unfamiliar voice to his right
"Who are you?" demanded Robin angrily trying to keep the fear out of his voice
"How are you feeling." asked the voice as if Robin hadn't spoken
"Umm, fine, I have a headache, but I'm fine." replied Robin even though saying he had a headache was a massive understatement. There was a sound of glass against metal and a dark figure appeared over Robin a syringe in one hand. Robins eyes widened in fright and he started to struggle frantically against his bonds but it was useless he couldn't even move
"Relax. This won't hurt." came a soft almost reassuring voice. When the figure reached out to him Robin screamed as a memory he'd tried to bury hit him with full force
FLASHBACK
"Relax." said The Joker holding a syringe in one hand "This won't hurt. Too much." laughing evilly Joker injected Robin with a serum that caused him to start laughing uncontrollably
"No...Please stop it...please!" begged Robin in between laughing but Joker just patted him on the arm, grinning wickedly
"What's the matter? It's good to laugh. You and Bats should laugh more often." with that Joker started laughing insanely. Pain shot through Robin body as the serum caused him to have a violent laughing fit. He felt like he was drowning in pain, but soon it became all to much and he passed out.
END FLASHBACK
The dark figure watched in shock as Robin suffered from a massive panic attack. The scariest thing was that I between screams he'd been laughing. When Robin had calmed down and drifted off into a safe sleep, the dark figure let go a breath he hadn't realised he'd been holding.
"What on Earth triggered that?" he looked down at the syringe in his hand "Was it this? Or perhaps it was the dark"
When Robin returned to consciousness, with dimmer light shinning on him, he turned his head to the side trying to make out where he was but he could see nothing in the dark except black shapes.
"Would you like me to turn the lights on?" asked a voice
"Who are you?" demanded Robin "Where are you?"
"Do you want the lights on?" repeated the voice completely ignoring Robin's questions. Robin thought for a moment before nodding. Rows of lights suddenly illuminated the room causing Robin to flinch slightly. His eyes soon adjusted and he looked around.
He was lying in an operating theatre, strapped to an operating table in the middle of the room. Next to him was a small metal table tray holding several surgical instruments laid out neatly. Everything in the room was clean and white. In a corner sitting on a chair were his clothes neatly folded with his belt and communication placed neatly on top. Robin turned his head to the other side and saw a person dressed in black, with long dark hair, that reached the floor, falling over his face and hiding it from view. The person was tall definately beating him in height by at least two feet.
"Is this better?" asked the person his deep voice indicating he was male
"Who are you?" asked Robin causing the man to sigh
"One track mind aren't you? You can call me Kyoji."
"Kyoji?" asked Robin finding the name completely unfamiliar "Why does you hair fall over your face? Are you hiding something?"
"I could ask the same thing about your mask" replied Kyoji crossing his arms over his chest
"Why did you bring me here?" demanded Robin
"I want your organs to sell on the black market." replied Kyoji his voice serious
"What?" exclaimed Robin
"I'm kidding you idiot. I don't want your organs."
"Then what do you want?" snapped Robin angrily
"Who said I wanted anything." said Kyoji pulling a wheelie chair over so he could sit beside Robin. He reached over and placed a single gloved hand on Robin's head
"Hows your head feeling?"
"Huh?"
"Simple question. How is your head? You said before that it was hurting"
"Still sore." replied Robin annoyed that Kyoji had reminded him of his pounding migraine
"Do you want some pain killers?" asked Kyoji
"Pain killers?" repeated Robin confused
"Yes pain killers for your head." said Kyoji holding up a box with the word aspirin on it. The idea of aspirin was inviting but how could Robin be sure that it was just aspirin? As if reading his mind Kyoji chuckled slightly
"I'm not going to poison you."
"How can I be sure?" retorted Robin
"If I wanted you dead, I wouldn't have saved you from Slade."
"So it was you who saved me?"
"Why of course Robin. I couldn't let a guy like that kill you." said Kyoji walking over to a sink at the other end of the room, filling a glass with water and coming back
"I'm guessing you like the use of your limbs back?" asked Kyoji before releasing Robin from his restraints so he could sit up and swing his legs off the edge of the table. Robin gratefully took the water and pills and downed them quickly
"They'll take effect in a couple of minutes." said Kyoji taking back the glass
"A couple of minutes?" repeated Robin "Aspirin takes at least half an hour to start working."
"True, but that wasn't aspirin." said Kyoji calmly rinsing out the glass
"But you said..." began Robin before he was cut off
"I said I wouldn't poison you and I asked you if you wanted some pain killers. I never said what I was giving you was aspirin. You came to that conclusion on your own."
"You bastard!" exclaimed Robin leaping off the table and diving at Kyoji who easily caught Robins body, tossed him back on the table and held him down
"You're a feisty one for sure." said Kyoji smiling as Robin tried to squirm away from him but was quickly becoming to tired to struggle
"Let me go you asshole!" ordered Robin but immediately became quiet when Kyoji leaned in close
"Now, now Robin. Insults aren't becoming of you." said Kyoji "But I can't let you fight me. Not until your better."
"Until I'm better?" said Robin staring up at Kyoji
"Slade injured you quite badly when he almost suffocated you. You need food, water and rest if you're going to recover all of your energy." explained Kyoji as if he were a real doctor
"I don't even know you. Why are you helping me?" asked Robin
"To tell you the truth. I'm not helping you." confessed Koji "I'm getting even with someone else. And you're my key to doing that."
"Slade." hissed Robin in understanding
"Correct."
