Well This Is Awkward
Prompt!
"Slade!"
Beast Boy hissed the hated name at it's owner, trying to shrug off the fear that he felt creeping from the back of his mind.
"Hello, Beast Boy," the villain said, smooth and sinister as always.
"What do you want from me?" Beast Boy snarled, silently congratulating himself on not stammering. Or bolting in terror.
"Want? Why... I want you..." Slade replied, the answer slithering into Beast Boy's gut and coiling up like a snake.
"Me?"
"Indeed. I have grown weary of pursuing Robin and, having given it much thought, have selected you as my new apprentice. You have a barely-tapped power, a savagery that I find most interesting," he elaborated. Surprisingly, Beast Boy's angry expression morphed into one of slight discomfort.
"Dude... do you even hear yourself say that stuff?" he asked. Slade blinked (winked?) once, twice, unprepared for the unusual question.
"What?" he replied, monotone.
"Your bad guy rhetoric, man. It's... well, it's kinda in creepy sex pest territory. Slade's one eye widened in alarm.
"What? It most certainly is n-"
"Oh, I've been rejected by Robin too many times so I'm giving up pursuing (your word) him and have set my sights on you. I'm interested in your animal magnetism," Beast Boy recited in a poor facsimile of Slade's voice, his face contorted into his idea of villainous.
"That is not what I sa-"
"And that suit you used to control Terra? That raised a lot of questions I wanted to erase from my head, I tell ya!"
"I never-"
"And when you attacked Rae and practically stripped her to her underwear? When she was sixteen?"
"..."
"..."
"I will go."
"Pff... yeah, you will." Slade sunk back into the shadows and Beast Boy took a few seconds to make sure his knees didn't collapse beneath him. Then, he grinned.
"Ha! Wait til I tell Robin I shamed Slade into backing out of a fight!"
END
Short but not sweet.
