Chapter 2 : Déjà Vu
"What?" Robin asked, surprised at what he had just heard.
"You heard me," Slade repeated, "I want her."
"Now? But I haven't completed my mission yet!"
"You've done well, very well, but what you've done is good enough," Slade smirked, "I have what I need, my apprentice."
~~FLASHBACK~~ Two Days Earlier~~
"You can't pass me," Cyborg said while staring at the big screen in front of him. His eyes widened.
"Haha!" Beast Boy retorted, "I passed you! I dom-min-nate!"
"Errrgg…" Cyborg mumbled. The alarm went off, "I guess we'll have to wait to see who really dominates," he said turning away from the racing game he and Beast Boy were playing.
Raven entered the room with Starfire, "Slade," they both said in unison, "His robots are attacking innocent people by the pizza place."
The four Titans headed off to go to the T-Car. When they got there, they saw that Robin's R-Cycle was already gone.
When they got to the scene, they saw Robin fighting against the robots, alone. They hastily headed over there to battle the robots. There were at least fifteen, they could each take three. But by the time they got over there, Robin had already taken down ten of them, leaving only five left. When the Titans separated to battle their own robot, Robin jumped in front and interfered with their fight.
"Okay…" Cyborg said and turned to Robin, who had his hands on his knees, "Are you alright?"
Robin was panting, he took his hands off his knees and started walking away, "Yeah, I'm fine."
Cyborg turned to Beast Boy, "That dude needs to chill." Beast Boy nodded in reply.
Walking back to his motorcycle, Robin's fists tightened as his breathing became louder.
He sat on his motorcycle and started driving back to the Tower. As the view of the Tower became closer, his patience grew smaller.
Once he finally arrived at his destination, he ran inside the common room and sat down at the computer, 'I have to find where Slade's hiding,' Robin thought, he stared at the big map on the screen. There were red dots at all of the recent places that Slade or his robots were found, "Where could he be hiding?"
The screen turned black and then a dark face appeared on it, "Don't stress too much Robin."
Robin glared at the screen, "Slade."
"Oh my, Robin, you are getting smarter and smarter every day."
"Where are you hiding?!" Robin demanded.
"Could you at least say please," Slade said.
Robin just narrowed his eyes.
"Don't worry, that's why I'm here."

"Where is Robin, Cyborg?" Starfire asked.
"I don't know, Star," Cyborg answered, "I saw him walk out the door about an hour ago."
"Do you know where he went?"
"No, sorry, Star, I don't."
"Oh, well I just hope he is safe."
Four hours passed and still no sign of Robin. Starfire began to worry even further.
"I am going to go look for Robin," Starfire announced to the others, "I would hope all of you will join me."
Raven put down her book and walked over to Starfire, "Sure, I'll go," she said, "Have you looked up his location?"
"I have, and his locater has been deactivated. I am very worried. Beast Boy, Cyborg, are you going to come with us?"
The look in her eyes made it impossible for them to resist, "Yeah, I'll go too." Cyborg said.
"Me too," Beast Boy joined them and they all headed out the door in search of Robin.

Robin was walking down a crowded lane full of trees. It was about 5 in the afternoon, 'He said to look for—'
"Robin."
"Slade," Robin growled.
"Yes," Slade replied, "It's me."
"What are you up to?"
"Just my brilliant plan."
"And what is this 'brilliant' plan?"
"You."
"What?"
"You heard me Robin, you."
"What do you mean?"
"You ask too many questions."
"Answer!" Robin demanded.
Slade sighed, "You," he continued, "are to be my apprentice."
"Not this again," Robin whined, "I'm not going to be your apprentice, ever again," his hands formed fists.
"Oh, Robin, but you will," Slade turned away from Robin, "Do you remember the probes that I placed in your friends bodies?"
Robin opened his mouth but was cut off before he could say a word.
"You don't need to answer, I know you do, I bet it still comes to your mind every single day, especially about how you betrayed them. Well, anyway, your friends have been infected with the probes again, but these probes are much better than the last ones. With the click of this button, the effect will be more painful and will give them a long, painful death. There is no way to ensure their safety, unless, you become my apprentice."
Robin was speechless, like the first time it happened.
Slade turned to Robin and held out a small screen that was a little bigger than the size of his palm. The screen started playing Raven fighting the robots, then it switched to Cyborg, then Starfire, then Beast Boy, "When they were fighting, they took quite a few hits," Slade walked away from him and slowly paced, "They were hit with my probes and when put in contact with skin, it is absorbed. Your friends now have the highly dangerous probes in them, and if you don't join me, I'll just have to destroy them." Slade turned to Robin and put his thumb on the trigger.
Robin looked at the grass that was clinging against his shoes.

Walking down what seemed like a never ending path, Cyborg and Beast Boy kept making random turns, not knowing where they were going.
"Where did the girls wonder off to?" Beast Boy asked, facing Cyborg.
"I don't know," Cyborg replied, "But I hope they're okay. Those robots led them far away."
"Maybe we probably shouldn't of split up," Beast Boy said, "You know what happens when people split up, especially when it's dark outside and when you never know what Slade's up to."
They heard a blood curdling screech. They gasped and started running towards the familiar scream in the distance. They saw a pale hand and short locks of purple hair on the ground.
Cyborg and Beast Boy ran towards the motionless hand and gasped. They found her, Raven was lying on the ground with a large gash oozing out blood across her chest, bruises on her cheeks, a bloody nose and several smaller cuts on her legs.
Starfire was sitting next to Raven staring at her in horror, he eyes were filled with emotion, she didn't know what to do, she just sat there, motionless.
Beast Boy ran to her side and grabbed Ravens' hand off her stomach, "How could this happen" he mumbled, and then he spoke up, "We need to get her to the infirmary, now," and without Cyborg's input, he carefully picked her up and headed towards the T-Car.
"Star?" Cyborg asked while walking towards the T-Car, "What exactly happened?"
"Well," Starfire sniffled, "We were attacked by Slade's robots and I was only around the corner fighting off some of the robots for a couple of minutes, but then—" She stopped walking.
"Then what?"
"…" she paused, "I didn't hear anything from Raven, I thought that she was victorious in the battle with the robots, but then he…"
"He who?"
"—it was Robin."
"You saw him? Did you ask him where he was? Why he disappeared?" Cyborg stopped talking, he could tell by her face that Robin did something bad, looking back at Beast Boy carrying Raven into the car and buckling her up, "Did he…?"
She looked at him, with wet eyes and nodded.

"Why did you attack only her? I told you to attack both!"
"I would've, but she wasn't ther—"
"Enough excuses Robin, you will go to the Titans Tower tonight. You must continue your mission."
"But Slade—"
"I told you to call me Master!" and with that, he punched Robin, knocking him to the ground. Pulling himself together, Slade continued, "Now go, apprentice, you must be ready for tonight."
Robin picked himself up and wiped his mouth with the back of his hand. He nodded, "Yes," pausing, he continued, "Master." Robin walked away to his small quarters full of regret and vengeance.
~~END FLASHBACK~~
Preview of Chapter 3
He was wasn't wearing his usual red, yellow and green uniform that always tightly hugged his muscles, what he was wearing now was something she recognized from awhile back. His attire was completely black and grey, except for one part. That one part was orange and it was placed on his left chest and stretched down to his stomach area. It was the same one she saw him wearing when he attacked Raven, but the pieces didn't click until now, "No…"
