Robin readied his stance as the quiet footsteps drew closer, inky darkness surrounding him completely His hand tightened on his bo staff, sweat running down his face in streams. The clanking of heavy machinery rumbled in the background, but was unable to cover the soft thumps of feet hitting the floor. Gritting his teeth, he forced himself to remain calm.

"Hello, Robin."Whispered a silky voice in his ear.

Reacting instantly, Robin whipped around his bo staff, aiming for the enemy's head; but a gloved hand caught it with ease, and broke it in half.

"Now, now Robin, don't get too hasty." Robin could have sworn there was a smirk under that detestable mask. The mask that he had hated since he had seen it.

"Slade."

"You were always too hasty, Robin. You think logically like your master, but when you simply can't come up with solutions you panic and do something foolish." Pinning Robin's arms down with his own, he chuckled into the teen titan's ear.

"I do not!"Shouted Robin angrily into the darkness.

"What about that Red X incident? Or that accident with your little green friend? Or how about all of the adventures you and your friends had with me?"

"Shut up, you—"

"You know that I am telling the truth, Robin. If it were not true, why did you come alone to me? Without your pitiful friends?"

"I I I didn't want them to get hurt!" Robin said through clenched teeth.

"Face it, Robin. You know that it is true. And though you may be thinking for your friends, it is useless. When dealing with me, remember that I always have a number of cards up my sleeve."

A monitor suddenly blinked to life next to them. It showed a detailed blueprint of the most famous structure in Jump city.

Titans Tower.

On the building were numerous blinking red dots that surrounded the entire place. Robin could feel himself dreading what those stood for.

"Xenothium powered detonators, Robin. Virtually impossible to detect, and devastating to behold. Once they are activated, the Tower will be surrounded by an impregnable force field. They will then go off in a flash of red light with your helpless friends inside."

"Liar!"Screamed Robin.

Slade laughed. "Try me if you will, Robin. But remember: I never have, and never will lie when making threats."

The Boy Wonder sunk his head low, tears running down his face. Slade was right; he had to be true. At last, he gathered up himself and looked at Slade straight in the eye.

"What do you want from me, Slade?"

Slade glanced at Robin, his remaining eye filled with desire. "You."

Robin laughed bitterly. "Another apprentice game?"

Slade shook his head. "No, Robin. I want you. Or rather, your body"

Robin's masked eyes widened in what was now true fear. Backing down a few steps, he breathed in shakily and looked at Slade again.

Slade chuckled. "Your assumptions are correct. Now take off your clothes."

Robin shakingly raised his ar

"Raven? What are you doing?" asked a small green boy, who was looking curiously toward the half demon.

Raven managed to bite back a scream, and immediately slammed down the lid of her laptop.

"Dude, you don't have to be that touchy. I was just curious, that's all. It's not if you have any unspeakable fetishes that you want to hide." Beast Boy waggled his eyebrows at the shaken empath.

Raven forced herself to roll her eyes and took her laptop upstairs to her room.

Shrugging, the changeling walked back to his room as well, and turned on his desktop computer. He slowly called up a file (which was labeled, "Chapter 24"), looking at his door to make sure that it was locked. Stretching his fingers, he started to type.

Blushing, Raven pondered over the suggestive words that Starfire had said. "Maybe she really wants me to go to her room…"

Ahh, you've gotta love fanfiction, eh?

Just a small oneshot I wanted to make, because of my horrendous writer's block on Midnight Boy Talks. That, and the sickening amount of reports I have to do.

So if anyone has some good ideas for my MBT, I'm listening!

Oh, and I do not assume that my writing abilities are at the same level as Raven, nor Beast Boy. Just a small note.
