Summary: Robin starts having dreams of Slade that lead to interesting circumstances

Pairing: Slade/Robin

Chapter 1: Dreams of an Unusual Sort

It had been happening more frequently as the days wore on. Every night it was the same thing: the dream would start off relatively simple and sometimes even peaceful, the lull before the storm I guess, before delving into the more… forbidden aspects of my mind. I had once heard that when dreaming, one's unconscious mind takes over and dreams are the results of some hidden desire or some bullshit like that but I don't believe it for one second. Really, there must be something wrong with me for this to keep happening but I'm not sure what to do about it, and I certainly cannot tell anyone what has been going on, it's just too embarrassing, not to mention disturbing, to talk about.

So, that is why I am currently lying in bed staring up at the white ceiling of my bedroom, wide awake and not sure what to do. On one hand, I can converse with Raven who has been known not to judge, but on the other hand I can keep this to myself and never have to reveal that I dream about Slade on a near constant basis, thus avoiding a most likely horrifying talk where I might have to face the fact that I might be attracted to the villain. Yeah, no, that is definitely not going to happen I can just imagine the whole talk about being overly obsessed and needing to stop spending my time worrying over him.

A deep sigh escapes my lips and I turn on my side to glare at the wall. At this rate I'll never get to sleep and I honestly doubt the criminal world will give me a break because I'm dead on my feet from lack of sleep. Briefly entertaining the idea of waking Raven up to ask for a sleeping remedy or something, I sit up in bed before deciding it's not worth the risk of her asking questions and lay back down. Besides, I'm not much of a tea person anyway and she would definitely suggest I drink some to relax.

After tossing and turning for what seems like hours, I finally find myself drifting off.

A sensation of floating washes over me. I am calm and peaceful. Never before have I been so content. A light, just beyond my reach, hovers in midair as if beckoning me to follow it, a tantalizing game of tag. Maneuvering my hovering body into a somewhat upright position, or what I think is upward, I stretch out my hand toward the glowing ball of light. Just as the tips of my fingers are about to touch it, it moves out of my reach. I let out a huff of breath before floating closer to the pesky thing only for it to move even farther out of my reach.

"Okay I get it. You want me to follow you, right? Well fine lead the way Mr. Light" I sigh irritably at the newly dubbed "Mr. Light"

As if it is able to understand me, the light floats gracefully away to an unknown destination. I hesitate for a fraction of a second before following only just now wondering if maybe this is a good idea after all.

Time seems to pass slowly but still we travel through nothingness, never seeming to get anywhere. It was then that I heard someone call my name from the endless depths behind me. For some reason I feel draw to the voice like a magnet and can't help but stop in my tracks to locate where the sound had come from. Once I'd pinpointed the location I start in that direction only to have Mr. Light intercept my path.

"What do you want?" I question irritably, wanting to find the owner of that voice as soon as possible.

The thing bounces up and down then zooms in the opposite direction of the mystery person before coming to a stop and seemingly waiting for something.

"Look, I know you want me to follow you and all but we aren't getting anywhere and I have to find out who's calling me." I explain soothingly to the orb of light, not wanting to offend it.

Mr. Light here doesn't seem too happy about that but at this point I don't care I just want to find out who had called me and why I feel so attracted to this person when I don't even know who they are. Leaving Mr. Light behind I start for what I'm sure is the way the voice had come from, not looking back.

The scenery changes until I am standing on the rooftop of a decrepit two story office building. The windows are all shattered and broken, trash littering the roof along with bits of jagged rock and the remains of an emergency door. The ground under my feet is uneven, the gray concrete having been worn down by time and weather. The voice from before calls out again but this time I recognize who it belongs to.

"Slade." My voice comes out as a growl and when I spin of my heels, there he is.

"Hello my little Robin, have you missed me? I certainly have missed you" he purrs seductively.

"Why the hell would I miss you?! The only thing I miss is getting to kick your ass" I seethe.

"Ah, both we both know that's not true, now is it? I know for a fact that you missed me."

Before I can react his finger is under my chin, tilting my head up towards his faceplate and with one swift motion he has his mask up revealing enticing lips that enclose mine in a viscous kiss that has my knees trembling. A wave of pleasure encompasses me until I'm clutching onto the alluring devil in front of me as if my life depends on it.

All too soon the kiss ends leaving me breathless and whimpering from the loss of contact.

"Time to wake up my little bird." Those absolutely delicious lips curl upwards in a smirk as the words register in my brain.

"What-"

An alarm blares obnoxiously loud from somewhere to my left forcing me out of my dream state and back in to the real world. I sigh, glad the dream had only gotten as far as a kiss this time but yet wondering what was up with all the weirdness and floating, also something about light? Well, it doesn't matter now that I am awake I can just forget about it. I reach over to turn off the alarm clock that reads 5:00 AM before I get the urge to smash it against the nearest wall, and then swing my legs over the edge of my bed, dragging the red and green comforter off and tossing it aside.

After dressing in blue shorts and a white tank top I head to the gym for a short workout before breakfast as is the usual day to day routine for me. Once at the training room I start my usual warm ups getting my muscles stretched out until I merge seamlessly into my normal training schedule. The repetitive exercise helps calm my mind to where I can finally relax fully without the thoughts of Slade clouding my brain. It's a good feeling and one that I hope will last throughout the rest of the day.

Sweat drips down my brow by the time I am finished with my morning exercise. Deciding to take a shower before breakfast instead of after, I head for the adjacent locker room. When I finish dressing and brushing my teeth I start to head to the kitchen to see if anyone is up yet.

"Good morning Robin" Raven greets me from the stove where she is no doubt boiling water for her usual tea.

"'Morning Raven" I reply back

"How did you sleep?" She questions curiously, no doubt having spotted the bags under my eyes. Sometimes I wish she isn't as observant as she always is, it would make my life easier at this point.

"Fine" I grumble unconvincingly.

Luckily, all she does is raise an eyebrow much to my relief, reminding me as to why I am so lucky to have her on the team: because at times she does pry when she feels that something isn't right but she also knows when not to ask questions.

Nodding at her in gratitude, I get a nod back as she continues to make herself tea.

It has been a few hours since morning, though I can't say the exact time. Raven still has yet to comment on my no doubt obvious lack of sleep, to which I'm grateful for. It has been a very unproductive morning so far bordering on downright boring but yet I'm not complaining. Out loud. In my head though, that's a different story. I've never been one to be idle for so long which is probably why I've decided to take refuge in the training room for the time being until something comes up. Another reason for me not wanting to sit still is that if I don't do something to occupy my mind I know the dreams that I've been having lately will pop up and that's not something I wish to dwell on.

Hours pass by in the blink of an eye before anything interesting happens. And by interesting I mean the alarm starts blaring in the training room. In no time at all the Titans and I are standing around the central console to see who is interrupting the peace this time. To my horror the answer is Slade.

Sorry if this seems a little boring to you but I'm trying to set up the whole plot so I can't just jump straight into the action like I want to but if you managed to get through this then stick around for the next chapter which may or may not be coming soon. I just started college this week so don't hold your breath I might not have the time to update this as quickly as you want but I'll try!

Read and review please :33
