So, yeah…might actually keep going with this story (because deep down I know that some of you care a little).
Another reason why I'm still making this story is cuz I'm bored and I have nothin' better to do.
Oh, and this chapter is dedicated to my home-dawg, Gretchen, cuz she helped give me, what us writers call, INSPERATION!!!!
Oh, this chapter name is retarded, so I apologize.
Onto thy next chapter:
Time's Up
:) :) :)
Robin woke to some strange sound. He thought maybe he was just hearing things, but he wasn't so sure. His gut told him otherwise.
Slowly, Robin walked down the hall. He stopped briefly to hear another noise, coming from the living room. Quick as a flash, but quiet as a mouse, robin jumped into the room. He saw a dark silhouette move into the kitchen. Robin ran at the figure with an angry battle cry, and Beast Boy looked up, and screamed as Robin's fist collided with Beast Boy's face. If BB hadn't noticed, he would've broken his jaw instead of receiving a bruise. Robin turned on the lights and stared at BB's body sprawled out on the floor, his hand rubbing his mouth, which was now bleeding.
"Dude! What the hell was that for?" BB whimpered loudly
"Beast Boy? God, I'm sorry, BB, I…I thought you were someone else." Robin sighed, "Anyway, what are you doin' up this late?"
Beast Boy got up off the floor, and he smiled sheepishly, "I was gonna get some food. Ya know, like some tofu?"
Raven came out of the wall, Cyborg jogged in, and Star hovered into the room.
"Yo, what's with all the noise in here, man? Some of us are tryin' ta sleep!" Cyborg exasperated
Starfire yawned loudly, "Friends, I do not wish to fight at this hour in the morning. Let us go back to our rooms and do the sleeping, yes?"
Raven didn't say anything. She just stared…but not at any of her teammates. She was staring at the living room.
"Rae, what are you…" Beast Boy whispered, turning his head until it was where Raven was looking. Beast Boy gasped.
"Guys…" Cyborg muttered, his eye wide, mouth dropped a little with surprise
Robin whipped his head around, only to see a man dressed in a black jumpsuit with silver armor over it. His half orange, half black mask shined in the light of the kitchen as he stepped towards the teens.
"Slade." Robin growled, "What are you doing here?"
"And how the hell did you get in?" Cyborg questioned, still astonished by the man's presence
Slade turned to Cyborg, his mask hiding his smirk, "Well, Cyborg, you're technology may be up to date, but that doesn't mean I can't break in." Slade then turned to Robin, "And Robin, my dear boy, do I even have to answer that?"
"Titans, go!" Robin shouted
And with that, all hell broke loose at Titan's Tower.
Raven levitated one of the kitchen counters, blasting it at Slade. He merely flipped over it as Robin tried to hit him with his bo staff, which was knocked out of his hand from Slade delivering a swift, yet powerful kick to the boy's stomach. Robin was knocked back as Cyborg and Starfire shot Slade with a blue-and-green light display. Slade showed no signs of pain from the two huge blasts, and punched Beast Boy right where Robin had as BB tried to charge Slade in his green rhino-form. As Slade's fist connected with Beast Boy's face, you could hear the crack and snap of his jaw as it broke. Beast Boy tried to scream as Slade's powerful punch sent him flying into the air hitting Star, making them land onto the couch, knocking it over.
"Azarath, Metrion, Zinthos!" Raven yelled, her eyes glowing white and her body glowing black as she spread her hands out wide, sending every piece of furniture at Slade in a desperate attempt to defeat him. The Titans saw Slade flip into the darkness, dodging multiple objects at once. Robin, nor any of the other Titans, could see what had happened to Slade, but could only hear the furniture, kitchen appliances, and countless other objects break and smash on either the wall or the floor; no one could tell which one it was. After that, they couldn't hear anything.
"Well," Raven murmured, trying hard to not show any emotion, "that went terribly."
Raven quietly walked over to Beast Boy, tears streaming down his face in pain, his left hand clutching his jaw as he lied on the ground of the kitchen. Raven moved his hands away, replacing them with hers so she could heal BB, as she slowly, calmly chanted, "Azarath, Metrion, Zinthos…"
Her hands started glowing a light, sparkly periwinkle color as her healing powers began to take effect. Raven held her hands there for about fifteen seconds, letting go gently.
"Thanks, Rae…" BB said shakily, blushing at Raven, a small smile on his face
Raven blushed back, but turned away, saying, "Welcome."
Robin scanned the room again, turning on all the lights.
"Now we gotta buy another huge-ass window." Cyborg pointed out, motioning towards it, sighing, "Slade jumped out when it broke."
"That's the least of our worries. If Slade can get in and out of Titan's Tower, none of us are safe." Robin said angrily, staring at the window, broken objects all smashed into the corner, "Titans, we need to search the Tower for Slade."
"Man, are you crazy? He jumped out the window, and prob'ly lived," Cy yelled, "and before that, he kicked our asses within seconds. One of us against him will not stand a chance. He broke BB's jaw by punching it once, when BB was in a rhino form. I didn't know Slade was a giant metal tank, but apparently, he is now."
"Slade's always been powerful!" Robin shouted back, getting up in Cy's face, "You're just too much of a dipshit to notice!"
Cyborg pushed Robin hard, saying, "I'm the dipshit? Really? I know that Slade's strong. I know that he's smart. You always yell at us for not beating Slade, but the thing is, Robin: you didn't either."
Before Robin could say anything else, Starfire whispered, tears in her eyes, "Friends, please stop."
Robin, using all of his self-control at that moment, stepped away from Cyborg. Robin really wanted to say some nasty and cruel potty-mouth things to Cy, but he hated when Star was sad. He loved the alien with all his heart, and just couldn't bare to see her cry.
"Sorry, Cyborg." Robin murmured apologetically
"It's fine…" Cy replied, turning towards BB and Rae, "You alright, BB?"
"Yeah, I'm okay." BB sighed, Raven grabbing his hand to lift him up. She refused to look at him out of fear that she would blush again.
"So, are we gonna look for Slade, or just wait for him to come and kill us?" Raven asked
Robin replied, "We're gonna split up. BB and Cy, you get the top floors. Star and Raven, take the middle ones. I'll take the bottom levels."
"B-but Robin! Haven't you ever watched a decent scary movie? When people split up, bad things happen!" BB exclaimed, waving his hands around
"Beast Boy, this isn't a scary movie. This is (a fan-fiction story) real life and we've got to make sure Slade isn't here in the Tower." Robin sighed impatiently
"Think of it this way, BB," Cyborg smiled, "you get to walk around the Tower with me…until one of us gets killed off."
BB screamed and hid behind raven, grabbing her cloak. Her eyes glowed white as Beast Boy was shot into the air, suddenly falling to the ground as Raven's powers released BB's uniform. Beast Boy landed with a thud onto the carpet of the living room.
"Don't touch me." Raven grumbled in her rocky voice that she always uses
Cyborg laughed, "BB, you'll never get a girlfriend."
"Titans," Robin said, trying not to smile, "let's go."
:) :) :)
The levels of Titan's Tower went like this: the top part of the T was the bedrooms, the kitchen/dining room, and the living room, with a bunch of hallways. The middle part of the T was the gym, some guest rooms, and some storage rooms. Lastly, the base of the T was just a giant entryway into the main rooms of the Tower, but the basement was a huge storage room of super villain and common thief weapons, mixed in with some of their old plans on destroying the world and making super-destructive weapons, and lots more.
"Raven," Starfire asked as she hovered through the empty hallways, "why must Robin always go alone when it comes to Slade? It makes me…uncomfortable."
Raven, cloak covering most of her body as she walked, responded, "Well, Starfire, it could be for a number of reasons. He's…probably just trying to protect you."
"But Robin knows I can fight the battles!"
"Yes, but that's not the main reason."
"Then what is?" Starfire commanded, flying in front of Raven, her arms folded
Raven sighed, putting her hand on her head, "Star, it's really complicated. Robin's mind…it's…mixed up. With Robin, Slade is his, well, personal demon that he needs to defeat, no matter what the cost. He doesn't think in these situations, when it comes to Slade; all he ends up caring about is winning, and when it's too late, he realizes that he's destroyed himself, and everyone he loves around him. That's the best way I can explain this, Starfire, and I don't expect you to understand it right away, either. And that's just one of the main reasons. The others are too hard to explain."
Starfire looked away, "Oh, I see. Thank you, Raven."
Raven nodded, and continued walking down the halls of Titans Tower with Star.
:) :) :)
"Uuuuuugh, can we stop walking now?" Beast Boy whined, dragging his feet on the metal floor, "I think I'm gonna pass out if we do."
Cyborg looked down at his green friend, "You are one lazy, green asshole, aren't you?"
"No, I'm just a tired, hungry guy that got his ass kicked…again." BB moped
"Yeah, but it's Slade, man. You really expect to beat him?" Cyborg replied, "The only time Slade is ever beaten is when he chooses to loose."
"True, but why would a bad guy want to be beaten? Isn't that, like, I dunno, wrong to them?" BB said, scratching his head
"Well, Slade's not you're average villain, ya know?" Cy stated
"Hey, you ever think that Robin's…" BB started to say
"A dumbass, rainbow-wearing, midget-like bastard that only cares for himself? Yes I have."
"I was gonna say that he was kinda like Slade, in the sense that he can be pretty mean, but that's true, too." BB smiled. Cyborg laughed, continuing down the hall towards the gym.
"Hey, why is Robin a rainbow-midget …thing?" BB tried to ask, scratching his head of green hair
"Well, BB, you should look and listen, cuz if you do, you'll notice Robin ain't such a great guy. Sometimes I wonder why I'm still on this team because of him." Cy muttered, looking down as he walked
"Well, I'll give ya a reason to stay on this team!" BB yelled happily, "My great jokes!"
Cy laughed, "BB, that's one of the last reasons why I'd stay on this damn team."
BB shrugged, "Worth a shot."
:) :) :)
Robin moved through the dark basement with ease. Even with all the lights off except for a few, he moved perfectly, not knocking over a thing. He'd been down there so many times; he'd practically memorized the layout of it. It wasn't easy to get lost, but it was easy to knock things over.
Robin passed by enemy weapons, such as Control Freak's remote and Mumbo Jumbo's wand. He turned around, like he had forgotten something, and realized what he should do.
Robin ran towards the stack of old enemy plans and other not-so-special weapons, stacked in boxes. He rounded a corner towards Slade's very own box of stuff. Right under a light, Slade's box laid there, open, with certain objects scattered about.
Slade had been there.
Or.
Slade was still there.
Just as Robin turned to leave to the only exit from where he was (for there was a giant concrete wall the other way, which went all the way up to the sealing, like the stacks of boxes), Robin noticed his mistake. Slade was standing in the middle of Robin's path. There was no other way out.
"Robin: so kind of you to keep my weapons for me." Slade purred, his muscular arms crossed as his deep, rich voice echoed through the dark room. Robin clenched his teeth, balling his hands into fists, ready to slug Slade in the face as hard as he possibly could.
"Now, now, Robin, you should watch that temper of yours," Slade smirked (der his mask is hiding his facial expressions, but you get the point), slowly stepping towards the boy, "it might get you into trouble…"
"I know why you're here, and I'm not going to be your fucking apprentice, got that?"
As you very well know, Robin is screwed.
"Wrong answer, Robin."
Before robin had time to react, Slade had punched Robin in the stomach. Robin recoiled, bending forward, allowing Slade to grab Robin's neck with his right hand. Slade, holding Robin tightly, ran at the concrete wall, slamming Robin's slender body into it, making the back of Robin's head bleed. Pain shot through Robin's skull as he gasped and wheezed for air, grabbing Slade's massive hand, trying to pull it away. Slade's arm didn't even twitch.
"Now, Robin, do you want to live?" Slade asked, as if nothing was happening and Robin wouldn't die from lack of oxygen
All Robin could do was try to breathe.
"I'll take that as a yes, my boy." Slade murmured, dropping Robin to the ground, stepping away from the teenage asshole. Robin sucked in air and coughed, blood dripping from his skull and his mouth. His body screamed in pain as Slade stared at him.
"We can do this in a less brutal manor, Robin. You know that." Slade said with a hit of amusement in his voice. He bent down next to Robin's weak body, Slade's hand gently touching Robin's face with his left hand, "But if you continue to try my patience…" Slade's hand quickly pulled Robin's head extremely close to Slade's. Robin was thankful Slade had a mask on as sweat of pure fear dripped down Robin's face. Slade forcefully pushed Robin back, making the injured part of Robin's head land onto the corner of Slade's box of stuff. Robin bit his lip to keep from crying out. Slade slowly stood up, looking down at Robin, who stared back at Slade, waiting for him to make a move.
"So," Slade hummed, "will you come with me easily, or do I have to do something more violent to snap your pathetic mind into focus?"
"What will you do if I don't…?" Robin managed to say through clenched teeth
"Well, since you obviously don't care about your wellbeing, I'll kill one of your friends in front of you, and this time, I won't hold back. Oh, and if for some strange reason I do kill all your friends and you still don't listen to me, I'll just have to go and kill Batman…better known as Bruce Wayne. Isn't that right, Richard?" Slade couldn't help but chuckle at the look of pure shock on Robin's face, "Yes, Robin, I know your name, and your mentor's name. And just think; if I know that, what else could I know?"
Robin had an extremely tough decision to make: disobey Slade some more, or listen to him and go quietly.
Robin stood up, and slugged Slade's metal mask.
But Robin was too slow.
Slade caught his arm, twisting Robin so that Robin faced away from Slade, and pushed Robin to the ground.
"Stupid boy…"
That was the last thing Robin heard before being struck on the head and blacking out.
:) :) :)
Yeah, chapter two: COMPLETE! Didn't think I'd continue, huh? Well…neither did I…and I made it longer than the last chapter…huh…
Yep…Robin's a dick and Slade's a pimp…as it should be…
For all you Robin fans, I'm sorry, I (want Robin to die) dislike him. If you hate me for it, then STOP READING THIS FANFIC!!!
Love, Me,
~VillainFromHell~
