Hey guys! Okay so I haven't been on fanfiction and have been suffering from writers block lately but I'm trying! At least I half-sort-of-unblocked this one! :3
Shego drowsily lifted her head, she was cold and had a pounding headache; somebody was gonna get it. She looked around her environment, the first thing she noticed however was the metal spiked collar around her neck and the long thick chain at wound out of sight. She sighed; the room around her was dark, except for an overhead spotlight illuminating a small circle around her. She peered into the shadows trying to penetrate the thick dark. She slouched, her feet folded in front of her and blew a strand of hair that had fallen in her face. Oho…somebody was gonna have hell to pay for knocking her out like that. She hated the side affects of chlorophorm. She straightened and looked over her shoulder at the sound of a door opening before she heard hushed voices.
"Is she awake?"
"Looks like; I'll go let him know."
She heard receding footsteps and the door close. She frowned, 'what's going on? And why the hell am I chained up like some kind of exotic pet?' she growled in frustration and began tugging at the collar, attempting to find the release button, to her disappointment it was a finger scanner. She jabbed a claw into the circuits, hoping to get it to break and release, however she found it was about the equivalent of sticking your finger in a socket; except for the small fact this one housed 10,000 volts of electricity. She let out a cry releasing the collar, she grit her teeth in pain. Her vision got fuzzy before fading to black…

At Titans Tower….
"So what do you know about this Slade-guy?" Kim asked, watching Robin scroll through the files on the large screen. He pulled up a file with some vague information.
"This is about all we know about him, which, sadly, isn't very much." Robin frowned, "and what do we know about your nemesis?" Robin inquired looking at Kim and leaning back against the edge of the desk.
"Her name is Shego, she was once part of a super-hero team-" she paused noticing some of the titans winced "but apparently she found evil more appealing. She's a challenging opponent and is very determined; she won't go down easily without a fight. She has the ability to throw bolts of green fire summoned from her hands and…" Kim thought for a moment debating to add the last bit or not…but she did "she's a bit of a temptress." Ron looked at her with surprised expression that said 'I was gunna say that but I thought you would slap me for it' before nodding in agreement.
Robin laughed lightly, earning confused looks from the other members in the room. "Slade isn't the charming type, he's cold, and calculating." He paused, "And he doesn't feel any emotion other than the occasional anger or betrayal, so I highly doubt your nemesis will have any affect on him if she tries to charm him into releasing her." Ron and Kim looked at each other skeptically; she could be tricky… if they hadn't known her so well they probably wouldn't have recognized some of the games she plays.
"So what's the plan?" asked Ron.
"We wait," Kim looked at Robin with surprise and he blushed in embarrassment, "the guy is invisible, he doesn't exist to the world, and we haven't been able to find his hideout…so we have to wait for the next time he strikes and hope it isn't too late."
Kim and Ron looked at each other.
"What do you mean 'if it isn't too late'?"

Slade walked into the room to find his soon to be new apprentice unconscious on the cool concrete floor. He frowned 'the bots must be broken, they said she was awake-' he stopped mid-thought as he crouched down to get a closer look at her and noticed the broken collar and the smell of something burning. He internally winced thinking 'Ooo that had to hurt…' He brushed some hair out of her face, and paused to take in her soft pale features; this was a look that he probably would never see again. Then he noticed her clenched fists and pained expression, he heard a light groan and realized that she was waking up. Eye wide he considered standing again but decided he'd rather have some fun and give her a scare. He smirked behind the mask as her eyes slowly opened. Once they focused and she saw him leaning over her she had a freak out, kicking back and away from him. He chuckled sadistically in amusement at her actions. He straitened up as she looked at him wide-eyed from a few feet away.
"Don't worry my dear, you've nothing to fear just yet…" he purred cynically and began to pace forward towards the frightened woman on the floor.
