A/N: I wanted to use the darker comic version of Slade. Slade Wilson is his full name, his name in the show was simply a first name because is comic name is Deathstroke and they didn't think it was a good Idea to use "death" on a kids show. As for the title it refers to someone close to him and I will go into more detail later.
Summary: A more in-depth look at the series from Slade's point of view. Introducing some characters early, and some that were in the Titans Go comic that came after the show.
Slade Wilson is not easily impressed, he had made this clear the Headmistress before the demonstration and he was conveying it once more, albeit non-verbally. Although the three teens that stood before him were impressive with their powers he knew they wouldn't be good enough to beat the Titans. Taking off his helmet he massaged his temples, his empty eye socket throbbed, as it often did when he was annoyed.
"Madame Hive, simple demonstrations against robots aren't proof that your team is skilled enough for the job I need done. If you let me test these children myself and they complete the task we'll talk about payment then." He ran a hand through his iron-grey hair and replaced the helmet atop his head.
"I'm sorry Mr. Wilson but this is not our policy, you either take them or we find someone else, no trial runs, no bargains, and no refunds." Madame Hive said in her composed business-like voice, she tried to keep a level head; she had heard about this man, she knew what he could do if enraged. He appeared calm now, how ever so she took another breath to explain the situation to him.
Unfortunately Slade had different plans, he stood up walked over to the woman and unsheathed his sword, holding the point to her throat, beads of blood gathering and dripping down her neck.
"What were you saying just now about my offer Madame Hive, 'No trial runs or bargains' I think you may want to change that policy quickly or your school will need a new headmaster."
"Yes sir, Mr. Slade, you may give the students a test of your choosing, and if they do not perform to your liking they shall return to the Academy and be disciplined as a consequence of their failure." Slowly he pulled the blade back from her throat and sheathed it again, breathing a sigh of relief she quickly exited the warehouse, leaving the students to be dealt with by this madman.
"Now tell me, Jinx, Gizmo and Mammoth, have you ever heard of the Teen Titans?" The three shook their heads, afraid to speak in case they somehow made him angry.
"I am making it your priority to take them down, fail and as your Headmistress said you will be punished, succeed and I will most likely be calling for your services again." With those final words he sent them away to plan for how they would complete their task. Little did they know Slade wanted them to fail, for in reality they were not the ones being tested, it was the Teen Titans.
A/N: Tell me what you think and suggest some pairings.
