Note: A normal person has about 0,5 to 1.0 Lithium in ones blood, I got 0,18 which might explain my bipolar disorder, wish me luck.

I'm getting 0.4 through Lithium pills and can focus a little better, no promises but if it goes as planned I will write more.

Here a little One-Shot^^

Note: there will be a somewhat lighter version of this idea in the teen titans section, Dick as Red X needs to convince Slade why he should be a 'partner', with aged up to 18 Robin, 18 is the age of consent in Germany :)

Summary: pre Renegade arc, Slade makes a different offer to a desperate Dick Grayson how he could get inside information. Discussion of slash.

"Deathstroke can't be tricked by a cop playing thief", the words were as cold as the unforgiving look in the single grey eye.
They stood there, both dressed in their civilian clothing and looked at each other.
An uncomfortable silence descented in Dick's living room while the world out there continued to move noisily.

Slade had never spoken with him in such a voice, a voice reserved for others, possible victims.
Ice pumped through his veins, just a few seconds ago he had offered the older male his willingness to become his student and now this.
"I", he tried but was interrupted by a sharp glare.

"I'm a honourable man, but honour is something rather expansive in my line of work, having my reputation trashed would force me to do some very dishonourable things."

Dick flinched at the harsh warning, "I'm sorry", he uttered in a weak voice while bowing his head submissively.
He could have lied or even made a joke about Slade speaking about himself in the third person, yet some far to large part of him respected the older man too much.
The hero needed the information about the rising criminal empire, anything directed by someone as sane as Luthor needed monitoring and entering as Slade's student would have made it very easy.
Still better more work than falling out of Slade's good grace.

"Do you really want to go undercover for so long?", the question was softer more like the usual purr and Dick felt the fear melting away."

"I need the information", passed his lips far to quickly, still somewhat rattled by Slade's attitude.

"No one pays attention to a whore", pointed the other rather bluntly out and moved closer.

"Excuse me", he couldn't have heard the offer there could he? Yet he didn't step back as Slade stood directly before him and let his left hand rest on the younger man's hip.

"If I were to take up Luthor's offer and become a permanent guard at his headquarters than nobody would bat an eye lash at seeing me with a private whore. You are feminine enough to keep others from making rude comments about me", was all but whispered into his ear while Slade's right hand took a piece of the long hair and stroke through it.
"And while I'm busy you are free to explore as far the inner security allows it, which is in most cases rather easy. No one is paying me to watch for sneaky whores so you won't betray me", finished the other his explanation and forced Dick's chin with his right hand up so the smaller man was forced to keep eye contact .

"I would still be your whore", pointed Dick out and the grip on his hip became uncomfortable tight.

"You can do many things, but playing a convincing bad guy isn't one of the pet", his tone of voice got colder, yet Dick didn't flinch and looked stubbornly ahead.
"Luthor demands full loyalty, he would make you kill to prove yourself. Do you really prefer blood on your hands to the taste of my semen on your lips?" , asked the other in a insistently voice.

"You don't want to be a criminal", Dick closed his eyes that was certainly true...

"Either you become a criminal and you will lose some respect for yourself and if this continues for longer a bit of yourself or you will lose the respect of others yet still be able to look into a mirror", Dick reopened his eyes, " our sexual activities so far had been mutually satisfying hadn't they?"

He felt a tremor pass through him, yes the sex had been good...
Better than stealing or worse...

"Not to mention as Dick Grayson your civilian ego will suffer the consequences while Nightwing will be rumoured to help the resistance and maybe more than just rumoured," added Slade and Dick felt his resolve crumble.
He pushed himself a little so his lips met the others in a clumsy kiss, which was depended as the right hand supported his head
