Disclaimer: I do not own any of the teen titan characters

Note: This is a oneshot. Still pretty new to writing stories and I wanted to work on how to write fighting scenes and I love Robin vs. Slade so...

Setting: After Robin was Slade's apprentice and before Terra became Slade's apprentice

Blood dripped to the ground below turning the green grass red. A throwing star had been planted into the ground. Robin wrapped a hand around the gash in his side, blood dripping through his fingers, and looked up in time to see Slade come in for another atttack with a punch toward Robin's face. Robin ducked and blocked a knee that was headed toward his gut. Robin then jumped and, using his arcobatic skills, flipped over Slade's head, landing with his back facing Slade. Robin spun around in time to see Slade coming at him with a punch to the face. Robin grabbed the hand going towards his face and tried to bring that hand behind Slade's back but Slade broke free and threw a kick at the Boy Wonder, sending him flying into a tree. There was a loud crack as Robin's back hit the tree and Robin fell onto his hands and knees. Slade slowly walked toward Robin with his hands behind his back as Robin was trying to get his breath back. Slade stopped in front of Robin and, kneeling down to his eyelevel, said

"Wondering what I'm doing here Robin? I thought I would say hello to my old apprentice."

Robin didn't bother to reply instead he grabbed his bo-staff and slammed it into Slade's face, knocking Slade backwards. Slade caught himself in the air and landed on his feet, facing Robin, he brought out his own bo-staff just as Robin charged toward Slade. The staffs made a metallic clink as they clashed together, while they were locked in this stance Robin growled,

"What do you want this time Slade?" Slade replied "Simple I want you as my apprentice but not right now, now I have other business to take care of. I just stopped to let you know I have not forgot about you."

Slade jumped back and, reaching into his belt, threw a few mini metal disk at Robin. Robin used his staff to block the disk and got ready to attack when he saw Slade had disappeared. For a moment Robin thought Slade was gone until he heard Slade's tauting voice from the trees around them.

"Robin, robin, robin, you let your guard down to easily."

Robin threw his disc toward where he heard Slade's voice, Slade jumped toward Robin with a spinning back kick. Robin put up his arms in time but the force of the kick sent him stumbling back. Slade paused with his hands behind his back,

"Robin, you never cease to amaze me. You know something, you try everything to impress Batman don't you, and he still isn't impressed but you impressed me the first time I saw you fight, doesn't that say something."

Robin yelled "Shut up! you know I don't do this just to impress Batman or get his approval, I do this for my own reasons and my friends." Then Robin add as an afterthought "Though I would like his approval."

Robin then charged toward Slade swinging his staff. Slade however jumped back and threw a smoke bomb down. Robin jump out of the smoke and realized Slade was gone, though he heard Slade purr

"Another time Robin, another time."
