I do not own the Teen Titans Sadly…
This is not a Slade x Robin story just their relationship as master and apprentice.
Robin crawled into bed and he wrapped his arms around his side. He had failed his mission tonight. It was a fairly simple one but the Teen Titans showed up. Ever since Robin found out that the Titans stopped trying to talk him out of being on the side of evil and he realized they had little to no hope left in him he had fallen into a sort of depression. Tonight when they fought they didn't show any signs of remorse and they didn't try to talk him out of it. Robin realized they had given up on him and he was now considered an enemy. It was the first night in many years that Robin cried himself to sleep.
Slade knew about Robin's depression and it was really starting to worry him. He thought that he was the only thing Robin needed, but it was apparent that Robin relied heavily on his friends. Slade sighed and looked at the website on the screen. "It's for your own good Robin." Slade said as he closed the laptop lid.
Robin was shook roughly awake in the morning by Slade. "Get up you are going to be attending school today." Slade ordered him and he stood, back facing him in the doorway. Robin rubbed his eyes groggily, "School?" He asked swinging his legs over the bed. Slade turned his head to the side to peer at him. "Yes you will be attending the H.I.V.E. academy I expect you to make friends Robin your depressed mood does not go unnoticed." Slade said and then he exited the room.
Robin was all dressed in his apprentice attire, his old suit had been destroyed or either in Slade's custody now and he decided that the costume wasn't so bad. Robin sighed and opened the fridge he really didn't want to go to school, actually that was the last thing he wanted to do being trapped in a hormone filled building full of loud annoying villains that all probably hated him didn't sound like the greatest thing to him.
"Robin lets go you don't want to be late on your first day." Slade said and Robin followed him out to the black Volvo.
The ride there was silent and Slade noticed the closer they grew to school the more nervous. When they pulled up to the school Slade placed a hand on his arm causing his apprentice to jump. "Robin relax no one will trouble you, I am well respected by the H.I.V.E. Academy and you have made quite the news among villains. You will fit in just fine." Slade told him and the tension in his shoulders dropped. "Now go." Slade commanded and Robin pushed open the door and got out.
Slade sped off and the nervousness came back making his skin crawl. So many villains in one place made him extremely anxious. He could feel the other student's eyes on him as he made his way up the stairs but with the little dignity he had left he rolled his shoulders back and held his head high.
The ex-boy wonder made his way into the schools office. There was a rather callous old lady sitting at a computer she had her glasses down her nose and pointy claw like fingers tapping away at the computer and she slightly unnerved him.
"May I help you?" A voice asked shaking him from his thoughts. It was a nice looking woman with blonde hair and blue eyes; she definitely looked like she didn't belong anywhere near the H.I.V.E. Academy.
"Err uhh… Yes I'm new here I need a schedule." He said awkwardly. The woman noticed his uniform and her eyes widened, "Oh Oh my you're Slade's apprentice! You're Robin! Of course I'll get that right to you right away." She exclaimed in a hurry.
So Slade wasn't lying apparently he was a big deal and he was definitely feared by even other villains. That thought made a shiver run down his spine.
"Here you are." She said handing him a schedule, "That girl over there will show you around." The lady informed him and he nodded and took the papers.
Robin turned around to see none other than Jinx standing there smiling cheekily at him with a glint of trouble in her eyes. Robin sighed and walked over to her.
"Hey Robin I'm going to be your guide for the day." Jinx said still smiling. "Let me see your schedule." She said and grabbed the paper out of his hands.
"Ok you have English, Gym, Science, and calculus, then you have lunch and then Heroes, History, and then Study hall." She said looking it over. "Looks like I'll be seeing you a lot we have English Gym calculus and Heroes together, and of course Lunch and study hall. But don't worry Kyd Wykkyd and Billy Numerous are in science and History." She assured him.
Robin looked at her disarrayed "Don't you guys hate me?" Robin blurted out. Jinx handed him back the schedule with a weary expression, "Look we never really hated you, I mean sure we were mad when you busted us for stealing and stuff but really you weren't that bad." Jinx said and she began walking down the hall.
Robin followed her, "What do you mean?" He asked walking alongside her. "Well.." She began. "Beast boy and Starfire are annoying, Raven is too moody, and Gizmo still has a grudge on Cyborg for the Champion of Games thing. But you were ok." She said punching him in the arm.
Robin frowned and rubbed his arm causing Jinx to laugh, "But you're way to serious though, come on we need to get to English Mrs. Baleful hates when her students are late." Jinx said walking briskly down the hall and turning into a class.
English was uneventful and the gym teacher was impressed but not surprised by Robin's athleticism and his acrobatic abilities. "You remind me a lot of Slade." He commented and Robin felt his face grow hot with anger he resisted the urge to attack him then and there reminding himself it was the first day of school and he needed to make a good impression.
Science was awkward and Robin found out that Billy Numerous talks to much and Kyd Wykkyd can't talk at all. Finally it was time for lunch.
Jinx found Robin Billy and Kyd right away and Billy began telling her about how he stuck some poor kids head in a toilet. They got their lunch and they sat down at a table next to Gizmo see-more mammoth and Private H.I.V.E.
"Good to see you on our side." See-more commented as Robin sat down. They all began idle chat and there was a lot of laughing a poking fun at each other. "So how's Slade?" Jinx asked and they all turned their attention on him.
Robin swallowed his nervousness he used to be a team leader and he was used to talking in front of people just not villains and never about Slade.
"Well uhh… he's pretty strict and he sure likes punishments. But he I guess he's not too bad at times." Robin said scratching the back of his head.
"Ugh I would never want to work for Slade." Private H.I.V.E. said and the others nodded in agreement. "Really?" Robin asked suddenly less interested in poking his food. "Oh yeah Billy's scared of Slade right Billy?" One Billy asked another Billy who was picking his teeth with a fork, "You betcha Billy Slade is real scary." The other Billy agreed.
Robin sat back and pondered this suddenly feeling a whole lot tougher knowing that other villains were scared of his master.
The bell rang and everyone groaned and made their way to the next class.
The second Robin walked into Heroes he wanted to leave. "Are you ok?" Jinx asked waving a hand in front of his face. Robin became aware that he was standing in the door way frozen. They sat in the back and the posters of the Teen titans (minus him) and the Justice league were making his skin crawl.
"Today we will be discussing 'The Teen Titans'" the teacher said sharpening her gaze on Robin. "That's Mrs. Autroshus (see what I did there *wink wink* god these puns are terrible please slap me) She will do everything she can to try to crawl under your skin." Jinx whispered into his ear.
"The teen titans are a league of super powered teens much like yourselves, that protect Jump city. I'm sure most of you have encountered the teen titans once before. They are very dependable and they are always…" Mrs. Autroshus stopped and tapped her chin. "They are always joining forces and sticking up for one another. So if you see one Titan there is more to come." She finished with a smirk.
Robin clenched his fists together; he knew people were staring at him as she brought up a site about the teen titans. Robin grimaced as his name showed up on the screen explaining about how he had quit the titans.
QUIT! I DIDN'T QUIT! IM GUESSING THEY FORGOT TO MENTION THE PART WHERE I WAS KIDNAPPED AND FORCED TO BECOME AN APPRENTICE TO SLADE! He screamed in thought obviously fuming.
"The Teen titans are an almost unstoppable force of do gooders and it is very very tricky to detain a Titan for they all have a particular set of skills and are very powerful." She said explaining thoroughly the Titans skill sets. "Although detainment can be possible… Can't it Robin?" The woman asked grinning devilishly at him.
Robin snapped and with a yell he hurled his pens at her. They embedded themselves into the wall mere millimeters away from her face. Her eyes began to glow with rage, "Go down to the office immediately! And I will be seeing you after school!" She shouted at him slamming her fists down on a terrified student's desk.
Robin stood up and glared at her before he made his way out the door ignoring the shocked faces of his class mates.
"Some first day." He muttered angrily.
"Wait here." A secretary Robin didn't recognize from earlier told him and he sat down in a chair in front of the headmasters desk. "Your Master will be here shortly." She told him.
Robin swallowed the rising fear in his throat, and the headmaster walked in. "Causing trouble on your first day." She tsskd. Then she narrowed her eyes at him, "I would have expected better from Slade's apprentice." She said saying the name Slade like he was her Idol.
They sat there in almost complete silence except for offhand comments about school when Mrs. Autroshus walked in. She scowled at him and stood next to the headmaster but otherwise she made no move.
Then Robin heard it the deliberate sound of heavy metal boots drawing closer to the door. Robin could detect that sound from anywhere. After months of listening and waiting to be punished or to be trained Robin knew exactly whose footsteps those belonged to.
The door opened revealing Slade who looked nothing more than a little peeved. That was what scared Robin the most he would wait until he returned home to unleash his anger on him and Robin could already tell he was very unhappy with him.
"Please have a seat." The headmaster more asked Slade and he obliged. "Is my apprentice already causing problems?" Slade asked folding his hands in his lap.
"Indeed why just last period he had lashed out in an act of violence. I was merely teaching about the Teen Titans and he reacted quite negatively, by being disruptive and he potentially endangered me by embedding multiple pens into my classroom wall." The teacher said smugly.
Slade slowly nodded his head, "I see. I don't believe there will be any further outbursts from my apprentice." Slade said. Robin clenched his jaw tightly refusing to meet anyone's eye. "Right Robin." Slade asked with a hint of anger. Robin nodded and Slade stood up.
"I will be leaving and I expect you to be on your best behavior for the rest of the day." Slade said and he exited the room.
After a moment of Robin just sitting there staring at his hands he looked up glad to see it was only him and the headmaster still in the room. "You may return to class." She dismissed him and he nodded and quickly made his way out of the office.
There were stares and gossip that was barely concealed throughout the entire history class and even Kyd Wykkyd seemed interested in what had happened. "What do you think Slade will do?" Billy asked him and Robin resisted the urge to scream at him to shut up.
"Is something going on over there?" The teacher Mr. Austere asked them crossly. They all shook their heads and he restarted the video about a war between some really old good guys and bad guys no one even knew about.
"You're in trouble aren't ya?" one Billy asked, "I can tell Billy he's all kinds of in trouble!" Another said. "You betcha Billy we can see it in your face." A third said. "Are ya gonna give us the details or what bird boy?" The original Billy asked.
"Would you just mind your own business?" Robin shouted and the class all turned to face him. Mr. Austere glared at him "Robin you will be seeing me after school." he said snappily. The class Oooed quietly and they went back to the video.
Billy didn't ask any more questions after that and for once he kept quiet.
The bell rang and robin hurried out of the class. He growled and threw his books into his locker. He jumped when he closed it and Kyd Wykkyd was standing there.
He placed a hand on his shoulder trying to say he was sorry and then he motioned for Robin to follow him. "Where are we going?" Robin asked he kind of liked Kyd but it was a little unnerving how much he resembled batman.
Kyd Motioned with his hands above his head in the shape of horns. Robin raised an eyebrow confused, "Wildebeest?" He asked and suddenly he felt really ridiculous why would Kyd be talking about wildebeest.
Kyd sighed and his arms fell to his sides. He waved his hand and made an x with his fingers. "Spell X? Hex? Jinx?" He asked. Kyd nodded relieved. Robin felt embarrassed for taking so long to guess with all his detective skills.
Kyd smiled and hit him with his elbow as if to say it was ok and they quickly walked down the hall and into the gym.
Jinx, Billy, Gizmo, Mammoth, see-more and angel were all sitting around on the bleachers while Johnny Rancid and XL terrestrial were playing basketball. XL Terrestrial quickly tapped his arrow and he grew up to a good 10 feet and walked over and placed the ball in the hoop. "No fair you cheater!" Johnny yelled and everyone laughed.
"Hey Robin I heard you've been getting yourself into trouble and on the first day too." Jinx said smirking. Robin groaned and he sat down next to her. "You can explain later right now were just all going to hang out." She said giving him a knowing smile and he silently thanked her.
The bell rang and Robin was feeling good as he walked out with the rest of the group. They had been telling jokes and having a good time all study hall and he was in a good mood for once.
It ended quickly when Robin walked past Mr. Austere's class. Robin sighed "I'll see you guys tomorrow." Robin said despondently. They all looked at him with pity, "Hey it can't be too bad." See-more said and they agreed. "See ya tomorrow stink brain." Gizmo called and they all laughed halfheartedly and left him alone.
Robin exhaled and slung his bag over one arm before pushing open the door. "I've heard you've gotten yourself into a mess of trouble today." Mr. Austere said not looking up from the paperwork on his desk. Robin nodded and he set his bag down on a desk in the front row.
"Grade these." The teacher said handing him a huge stack of paper. A few scattered to the floor and Robin gaped. "All of them?!" He asked picking up the papers that had fallen.
"We'll see." The teacher said placing a red pen and an answer sheet in his hands.
Robin scrawled a percentage on the sheet and he circled it and placed it in a slowly growing pile he had created. He had gotten a lot done already when Mr. Austere spoke up "That's enough, here's a pass to Mrs. Autroshus's class." The teacher said handing him a sticky note.
Robin thanked him and he quickly grabbed his bag and made his way to Mrs. Autroshus's class. It had been thirty minutes already! He realized with a shock when he entered her room.
"Hello Robin." She said turning in here chair to face him. "I thought you wouldn't show." She said dangerously narrowing her eyes. "I was in Mr. Austere's class." he said handing her the sticky note. "Getting into trouble are we?" She asked and tossed the note into the trash.
"You're going to patch up my wall and sort these papers and you may not leave until you are finished." She growled and she handed him a small can of mortar. "Get to work." She said.
The pens were well embedded into the wall much to Robin's dismay and pride, but eventually the wall was patched up and it looked as if there had never been pens there at all.
Robin groaned to find the large pile of paperwork he had to sort but he was still glad he wasn't grading anymore his hand was starting to cramp in Mr. Austere's class.
He quickly sorted them by class and by graded and not graded and the papers that were for her specifically were in their own pile on her desk. "I'm leaving now he growled and he quickly ran to the entrance of the school. He had been in her class for over 50 minutes he realized with shock.
Robin saw the familiar black Volvo sitting in the deserted parking lot and he dreaded the rest of the night that awaited him. "Why me?" he muttered.
