Calling the Bluff

by LynnKurosaki

Just a One-shot I thought up. This is if Robin had called Slade on his bluff when he tried to get Robin to be his apprentice. I always rate T, just to be safe so the site doesn't kick it off.

Calling the Bluff

Teen-Titans One Shot

I own nothing

Robin stands in the room of Slade's Base with the screens. Said screens currently show the other four Titans and what flows in them right now. "I refuse." Robin says simply shocking Slade.

"What? But they're your friends, don't you care if they live or die?"

"Of course I care. I'm just calling your bluff."

"My bluff," Slade raises an eyebrow.

"This is a hostage situation. You threaten to kill them giving you an upper hand. But if you do kill them than you lose your higher position. Knowing this means that we both know that you can't afford to kill them. Your bluff has been called." Robin walks away.

Slade just stands there speechless but just as Robin reaches the door he presses the button to activate the things to kill the titans. "You were saying?"

"You still can't kill them because that would relieve you of your only advantage." Slade releases the button at this making the titans continue living.

"What about the city?"

"I doubt you have the entire city infected with those things."

"What if I do though? Or have the place rigged to blow?"

"… Then I suppose I'd call your bluff again."

"As well as Gotham with a different button to activate it."

Robin thinks for a bit, "And I take it you would have the same thing with every city in the country?"

"At least the state."

"If you don't already have this rigged I'll give you a chance to get it set up. See you then." Robin walks off.

"That boy is stranger than I expected. Perhaps I shouldn't use him as my apprentice." Slade mutters as he goes off to prepare the state for death.

A/N: This goes nowhere for me and I wrote it on a whim. If you want to continue than PM me, I'll give you a go ahead or a no.
