Slade POV

"You are mine now, apprentice,"

I smiled as I said those words. Robin shuddered and tried to get away from me again. I let go of his chin and walked away from him slowly knowing it was only a matter of time before…

"Yah," Robin yelled.

Yes, he had got rid of my two robots as I predicted he would. I could hear his footsteps coming closer to me. No doubt to send a blow towards my head. With perfect timing I turned around and punched him in the stomach. He went flying and hit a wall. He lay there for just a second, winded but got up almost immediately. That was why I chose him. His fighting sprit and refusal to give up… exactly like me.

Robin came running towards me again but this time I released fiery ropes from my hands and Robin was bound onto the floor in the exact way he was bound to the wall. I walked around him.

"Let me go, Slade," Robin snarled looking up at me. I chuckled lightly.

"Never, Robin. You will be my apprentice whether you like it or not," I said.

"You're a monster!" he shouted as he desperately tried to get free of the ropes.

I smiled. Yes he was exactly like me.

"Now, now Robin. You wouldn't want anything to happen to your worthless friends now would you," I said.

Robin stopped struggling and looked up at me. There was fear in his face. I let him go of the ropes and waited to see whether he will attack me or not. I walked slowly into one of the corridors.

"Follow me Robin," I ordered him.

From the corner of my eye, I could see that Robin was hesitating. He raised his arm briefly and then let it fall again. I smiled in triumph as he obediently followed me.

We went through a series of corridors. Robin was walking beside me. He was looking angry but apprehensive at the same time. Having a similar mind to him, I knew that he was trying to remember the way through the series of corridors.

"You'll find it impossible to remember the way around this maze, Robin," I said trying to get his attention. Knowing him, he was probably making a plan in his head on how to try and escape.

"I never asked you, Slade," he retorted. I got slightly angry at his comment but decided to let it slide. He will learn respect in due time.

I stopped in front of a black door. Robin automatically stopped beside me. He was curious. That much was obvious. I opened the door and we stepped inside.

"This is you new room Robin," I said while he went further into the room.

It was quite a small room, but then again it was only meant to be for one person. There was a bed, the perfect size for Robin in the corner and a wardrobe with a mirror attached to it beside the bed. A door at the side led to the bathroom.

I crossed the room to the wardrobe and pulled out Robin's apprentice uniform. The uniform he was wearing now was in tatters and in some places were ripped at where the binds burned through. I tossed it onto the bed.

Robin saw it and stiffened. He knew that I wanted him to wear it and he also knew that if he didn't wear it, his friends were doomed.

"I hate you," was his venomous reply as he went to the bed and picked it up.

I frowned. The boy seemed to trying to make me angry on purpose. Well two can play at that game.

"Amazing, isn't it Robin? The way that Trigon had turned everyone to stone," I said.

Robin stiffened again. He faced me angrily.

"I will rescue the others and we will stop you and Trigon," he said confidently. There was anger in his face. I chuckled slightly. The boy just didn't know that I will never let him get away from me again.

"It would seem that the Justice League got turned to stone as well," I said, getting back on the subject. "That means that even the Batman got turned to stone as well, doesn't it?"

He lost control.

Robin dived at and got flung back to the wall. He came at me again but stopped himself before he hit me or tried to anyway. He was trying to subdue his anger.

I didn't understand what special relationship he had with Batman. Can't he see that he was always in the Dark knight's shadow?

Robin had managed to stop himself from trying to hit me. He stood in front of the wall, seething with anger.

"That's my boy," I told him, smiling under my mask.

He scowled at me and snarled out.

"I'm not your boy,"

My eye narrowed. In the next second, I had pushed him face up the wall with his right arm twisted behind his back.

"You might not like it Robin, but you're my apprentice and that means that you're mine. And NOT the Dark Knight's sidekick anymore. Why don't you just accept the fact," I growled. No one could test my patience like Robin.

I twisted his arm even more and he bit his lip. Probably didn't want me to hear him cry out in pain. I let him go and he immediately moved away from me cradling his right arm.

"You have ten minutes to get changed," I said, gesturing at his new uniform. He glared at me and again I had to stop myself smiling at his defiance. I left the room.

I walked for five minutes till I reached the main room. I stepped inside knowing that Trigon was out. Probably sending out his army troops to deal with another planet. I frowned as I thought about Trigon. I'm going to have to do something about him. No one makes me their servant.

Upon entering the room, I smiled at the perfect sight in front of me. Trigon put a transparent see through shield in front of Raven who was beside his throne. Some would say that Robin loves Raven but I could see that Robin and Raven were close because they understand each other. It was that alien princess that Robin was in love with.

KidFlash hung from the wall with only his wrists. He and Robin had something in common. They were both sidekicks. The alien girl and the changeling were hanging off the wall by their wrists as well. They looked up as I came in.

"Where is Robin?" Starfire asked me, glaring. Her eyes usually lit up green when she got angry but with her powers gone, her eyes stayed the same.

"Wouldn't you like to know?" I asked her back. She seemed scared of me. All of them seemed scared of me.

"You might have realised by now, that he's not your leader anymore," I didn't explain any further. It was amusing to see them immediately assume that I had killed him.

"If you've hurt him…" KidFlash started to say. His usually good nature evaporating as worry clouded his mind.

BeastBoy and Raven seemed to have given up all hope once they thought that Robin was dead. It was amazing at the way that the mighty Teen Titans would start to disappear if Robin had not held them together.

"You don't need to worry, Robin might be hurt but he's not dead." I said casually as I walked out of the room.

"I will bring him here in about five minutes,"

I saw the look of relief that Robin was not dead pass through the Titans faces before I left the room. It was going to be interesting to see how they react to Robin being my apprentice.

I walked back to Robin's room and found him sitting on his bed suited up in his new uniform. I smiled. He glared up at me.

"When this is over…" he began to threaten. I took hold of his arm and dragged him out of the room. He started to resist but then stopped when I gave him a warning look.

"Come, Robin. We are going to pay a visit to your friends,"
