Beast Boy got up the next morning with a huge hangover his head pounding in his ears 'Ah man what did I do last night' He questioningly thought as he slowly approached his door and exited his room

"Beast Boy! Where have you been all morning you missed practice" Robin scolded his green teammate as he looked at Beast Boy with anger "Why does it matter Robin? I don't need practice! Slade isn't going after me he's going after you" He spat in the same angry tone as Robin

Robin was shocked to say the least, Beast Boy, happy go lucky Beast Boy the jokester of the team just got angry and yelled at him the team leader. Robin was actually scared. If the normally cook and calm tempered Beast Boy could snap at him, then he didn't want to find out what else he could do "This isn't over Beast Boy" He gritted out while Beast Boy gave a sickening smile "I know 'cause Slade hasn't attacked yet" He said then walked off both to busy to even notice the not so well hidden spy camera in the upper left corner of the hallways

"Excellent Garfield, you are progressing better then I could have hoped for at such an early stage, already you show potential to be my greatest apprentice ever. Robin was to hesitant to follow my orders. Terra was to easily manipulated, but you, you are perfect" Came Slade's cryptic and cold voice boomed through the room as he watched the monitors in his lair "it's time for another meeting my boy"

Slade got up and walked through his lair "Wintergreen I'm going to see a new friend I will return with him as well" Then he left

An angry Beast Boy stomped back and forth in the form of a tiger on the same rooftop that he met Slade on the night before. He's breathing heavy and hard through gritted teeth. The force of his stomping increasing with every lap he took, angry thoughts running through his mind at a cheetah's pace 'Who does Robin think he is? I have all the preparation I need. I mean it's not like I'll ever fight Slade alon-' "A penny for your thoughts?"

Beast Boy turned around rapidly, immediately recognizing the voice "Slade, what are you doing here?" Slade stepped out of the shadows "I was just passing through and saw you up here. So I'll ask again is something bothering you my friend?"

Beast Boy looked away not wanting to answer. Slade took this as his opportunity and spoke "It's Robin isn't it? He thinks you aren't strong enough to fight me, am I right?" Beast Boy nodded and Slade stepped closer and walking to stand behind him with his hand on Beast Boy's shoulder then leaned closer to whisper into his ear "Follow me young Garfield, I have something I want to show you" He walked back to the shadows he came from making sure that Beast Boy was following him

Once in Slade's lair Beast Boy looked completely amazed. Slade's new lair looked exactly like his old one. For some reason judging by the clock gears in all of Slade's lair Beast Boy saw Slade as a villain who is obsessed with time. Whenever they fought Slade his moves would be precisely timed and their moves would be blocked just in time as if Slade could predict time "I see your style hasn't changed"

Slade looked down at him "Styles are known to change but I don't see a reason as to why. If something is good for you then it acts like your legacy a legacy witch change will destroy"

Finally they arrived at their destination as Slade opened the room the first thing Beast Boy saw was a suit, this particular suit he remembered all too well "That's, that's the original Ravager suit" Beast Boy said in shock and amazement "I thought it was destroyed" Slade who had stayed silent beside his friend spoke sounding slightly saddened at remembering his dead son "It was, but as all good mercenaries Grant always had a spare, but the day he died this suit disappeared"

Beast Boy was confused "I don't get it, if the suit disappeared way back then, then how is it here now?"

Slade smirked at the ever curious Beast Boy "I found it again when I was doing a mercenary job. I am sure you know how a mercenary contract works"

Beast Boy slowly nodded he knew full well what a mercenary contract is seeing as his uncle had sent many a mercenaries and assassins to kill him "Yeah, but why did you bring me here? Why did you show me this?"

Slade walked towards the glass casing that held the suit safely inside and took out a key to unlock it and he took the suit out "Robin doesn't think you can beat so, now you're going to put this suit on" He said motioning to the Ravager suit "And defeat him proving to him that you are at my level of skill and thus you do stand a chance of beating me"

Beast Boy looked shocked for a while but spoke "You sure" Slade nodded "Yes, now go" He Said as Beast Boy quickly changed and headed off to search for Robin

Robin ran through Jump City looking for Beast Boy. Anger still clear in his eyes since this morning "Where is that idiot I swear when I find him-"

"Then what Robin?" Robin looked to where the voice came and froze in place. He's heart stopped dead in his chest. His eyes bugged out like in a cartoon and his blood ran ice cold "You, but you're supposed to be-"

"Dead? I know but I'm not" Said Beast Boy who decided to act as the original Ravager to scare Robin into making a mistake "And I've come to beat you down. Consider this my amazing comeback" He said taking his swords out "Let's play"

Robin charged at Beast Boy/ The Ravager and threw a sloppy punch witch the Ravager easily dodged and threw a punch of his own hitting the Boy Wonder square on the jaw

A few hours later the fight ended with Robin on the floor and the Ravager standing over him "Well, it's been fun but I have other things to worry about. Next time Robin" And he left

Slade sat in front of his monitors observing the whole fight as well as the ending a small smirk of pride on his face 'Well done young Garfield you truly are proving to be the perfect apprentice and with every time you where my son's suit you will find it hard for you to give it back"

From behind Slade Beast Boy landed with a light thud witch caught Slade's attention ""Your mission was a success, you fought better than I could have hoped and naturally I can't just let that slip through my fingers so, now I'm going to offer you a deal"

"What kind of deal" Beast Boy asked cautiously

"Apprenticeship young Garfield, I will train you to become better and I know how much you hate your uncle and if you join me I could help you even the score. Deal?" Slade asked extending his hand

Beast Boy thought it over for a second then said "Okay, deal, but I am not using your son's plain name I'm adding to it"

Slade nodded "What do you want to add"

"I was thinking we still do all the mind game stuff but I just choose another thing to add to the name I mean I know you used to be called Deathstroke the Terminator so I was thinking and bear with me... Ravager the Executioner"

Slade smiled at the name. To him it was amazing how much Beast Boy or now the Ravager wanted to be like him... It reminded him of how much Grant wanted to be like him. Thinking of his dead son Slade made a promise to himself that second that he would protect his friend from situation like the one he lost Grant in "Excellent choice Garfield but, now I must ask you what you think we should do next"

The Ravager thought for a second "I think we need help. The Titans are four, we're only two, I can take one down and you maybe two but we need to even or over go the odds" Slade looked confused and Ravager mentally did a face palm "Just leave it to me" And then he left

In an old abandoned clock making factory Red X sat on a conveyor belt that had obviously been shut down planning his next attack out loud "Maybe if I divert Robin's attention away from that Slade guy.." He started but was interrupted by the sound of light footsteps hitting the ground "Then what?"

Red X twirled around to see that a man or boy with a white mask and red eyes, a black and orange suit and a lot of weapons was standing behind him. Red X knew him or rather knew of him all too well

This was the man who apparently died when he got knocked into a volcano this was the man that took on the Teen Titans more times than Red X could count. This was the original Ravager, Deathstroke the Terminator's son, his idol

Red X got off the conveyor belt as fast as lightning and took a knee bowing to Ravager as a sign of respect. Ravager smiled inwardly "I see you know of respect, good." The Ravager walked over to the conveyor belt and sat down looking over Red X's plans

Now Red X felt nervous, his idol, the person he looked up to as a role model his inspiration for his current life just sat there motionless for a long period of time then finally he spoke "I'm not the man you think I am Jason. I'm not the original Ravager. I'm him, but not him"

Red X was confused "What? How can you be him and not be him at the same time? That just doesn't make any sense"

The Ravager sighed "Then you have a lot to learn" He said then removed his mask

Red X's eyes nearly popped out of his skull when he saw who the Ravager was "No... Way... Beast Boy? But you're supposed to be a hero"

The Ravager rapidly shook his head "No, not anymore and I go by a new name The Ravager The Executioner that's who I am... And luckily for you I came here to make a deal"

Red X although shocked found himself to be quite intrigued. It's not everyday that your enemy turns out to be the person you idolize especially when he comes to make a deal "Go on"

Ravager smirked, he knew he had him. Hook, line and sinker "Join me and I promise you you will have Robin on a silver platter because I know how much you want to kill him... So, do we have a deal?" He asked extending his hand

Red X mindlessly stared at the extended hand for a while 'I can't do it, it must be a trick to gain my trust and then arrest me, but then again he wouldn't just wear that suit just to arrest me right' He looked back at the hand then shook it

The Ravager smiled "Excellent"
