Man, been so long since I even been on this site. I just had a story like this pop into my head and I wanted to write about it for a while. Anyway, hope you like.

Chapter 1: Third time is the charm

After Terra came back, and after Beast boy's attempt to get Terra to retrieve her memories. Slade has been planning ways to destroy the Teen Titans as always. Slade was in no hurry at all, in fact, he rather take his time a bit more effectively and efficiently before he puts his plan into action and have the risk of failing. The clone bot he sent on Beast boy was unsuccessful, but it has given him the opportunity to know how powerful and how determined Beast boy really was.

It seems like after some years of fighting the Titans, Slade has watched carefully on how much powerful they became. Robin has became more determined but less childish in his battles, and becoming more of a leader than ever. Starfire can expand her use of starbolt energy into one huge ball of energy that has wiped out half of Slade's demonic army. Cyborg increased his updates ten fold when he used all of Titan's tower light and power that destroyed all of Slade's army. Raven has even defeated her own father, a very powerful demon that gave Slade powers in the first place.

Now that was over. The Titans have grown and Slade needed to find a better way to destroy them. He actually needed another apprentice. Slade looked at the mistakes made on his last two apprentices. Robin was the leader of the Titans, so of course, he was eventually going to be saved by his team. Terra met the Titans first, and even if Slade's persuasion worked at one point. Terra got persuaded back by the team to destroy Slade. After scanning those in, he now needed someone that has never met the Teen Titans before, but also someone much more powerful and especially someone that can kill the Teen Titans. That is why he is taking his time, because finding someone like that will be quite the challenge. Slade started to do research on his computer screen that filled nearly the whole wall, but instead of in Jump city, he looked for someone outside of the city. He knew a lot of more powerful heroes around and in Jump than actual good villains. He was scanning for any sort of battles that other heroes or villains were fighting, and he has found a few. The first two he found were minor battles Slade wasn't interested in, but when scanning the last one, something sparked his curiosity. He zoomed in on the battle and it showed a battle between 3 men and a young lady was cornered. The young lady however seemed unphased and she wielded two 1911 pistols out of blue flame. The three men, who appeared to be vampires, attacked but the girl simply raised her guns and shot them directly three of them in the head with no problem. Slade was now interested in this.

Slade noted of the girl's physical appearance. She had dark brown hair that was thick and wavy/curly, dark brown eyes to match with. Very nice curves to her, and her attire was simply a green shirt, dark blue jeans, and black boots that reached up under her knees. Slade decided to research her more and managed to find all her information. Her name is Katrina Richards, she is 20 years old and is the second most powerful hybrid between a werewolf and a vampire. Slade has not encountered any vampire or werewolf attack but he knew about them at the least. But Katrina apparently seems to be an artificial hybrid, so her wielding guns just like that are the least surprising.

Impressive. Just impressive. Slade thought.

Slade then looked into her background on how she came to be. It was a needed experiment. Katrina was actually chosen and forced into being a hybrid just so she can defeat the first hybrid ever made, Carlos Solrac. Slade assumed he was some sort of enemy to Katrina, but no less, Slade clicked on the link to Carlos's name. Slade read thoroughly on Carlos's information and prove his assumption right.

Slade went back to Katrina's information and took note of her address and shut off his computer.

"A hybrid as my apprentice?...I will have to scan through more of her powers so I can make preparations." Slade mumbled to himself as Wintergreen entered the room with a cup of tea. He set the tea down next to Slade.

Slade chuckled darkly to himself and proceeded to plan, after all, a third time is the charm, and using Katrina to murder the Teen Titans will be his charm.
