A/N: Do ya like the title? I don't. I think it's tacky. It sounds like some dumb horror movie. Or a sports movie, because every other football team is called the titans. Anyway, I breally like this fic. It's Apprentice-based, like most of my other fics. I love that episode. What is part 2 never happened? After a week, the other Titans gave up searching. Robin had stayed in Slade's hideout for two whole years. About the chair in the beginning...if you watch Divide & Conquer close enough, you'll notice it. It's exactly like slade's chair, except about five feet to the right. Now... just read it!

Prologue: In Charge

The dark-haired teenager sat in the large stone chair and watched the four people on the large, movie-sized screen search for their missing leader. This infuriated him. He wanted more than anything to help them search the city, but communicating with them was forbidden.He knew he could help them. He just knew he could. He knew he could help them because they were searching for him.

Two Years Later

The robot droids had searched every room, and every hallway in the hideout. Slade was nowhere to be found. This was what Robin had feared most when he had first come to this place, however now, it wasn't so bad to him. He knew what he would have to do.

He slowly walked into the main room, and up to the stone chair in the center of the room. It was exactly like the one he sat in, except five feet to the left, exactly in the dead center of the room. He walked just as he always did , in between the two chairs, but instead of turning right, he turned left. He followed these movements through swiftly, as if they were a well-rehearsed ceremony. He turned again, walked up the small flight of stairs , turned around, and sat down. It was now official. He was in charge here.
