Next Chapter

A/N: Ok, so think I did this right... I don't know though. Oh well. I don't own the Teen Titans.

Robin's POV

(Flash back continued again... From now on, if its in bold its a flash back)

I gasped loudly and violently tried to sit up, but failing due to the numerous restraints that decorated my body. "Crap..." I muttered, as my night of excitement came back to me. I looked around (as much as I could) and tried to spot Red X or Slade.Slade...I felt anger course through me as that name crossed my mind. One of these days I would have the upper hand and he would be at MY mercy for a change. I just hope he didn't do anything to the other Titans...

Speak of thedevil...I thought as Slade walked into the edge of my vision. I gritted my teeth and glared as best I could. "Slade! What are you playing at!?" I started to pull at my restraints.

"Now now, Robin, I wouldn't do that unless you want me to destroy your friends."

I rolled my eyes. "You could try and be creative for once, Slade, and NOT threaten to kill my friends. Or better yet, just LEAVE ME ALONE!" I shouted the last part, my frustration over coming me.

"Tisk tisk, you should know better by now. I do what I want, never mind the creative aspects." He leaned in putting his face inches from my own and whispered, "But I do want to know what you think of what I have planned next..." After the last syllable left his lips, he stood up and walked back the way he came out of the room.

For Tradition's sake I yelled after him, " SLADE!"

Later, Red X came in chuckling. "What?" I asked in a frustrated tone. I had been here for hours and I was bored out of my mind. Maybe that was their brilliant plan, bore me to death. Or to submission. Honestly, that would be genius and, sadly, would probably work...

"Just here to see an old face. We have known each other for quite sometime now." What? No we haven't. I have known him for maybe 6 months tops. And even told him so. But he just knowingly shook his head and dropped a (metaphorical) bomb on mine. "Dick," How'd he know my name? "Mom and Dad never told you, but" Mom and Dad? He says their names like he knew them too. "well, I'm your brother Dick."

"WHAT!? I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU KNOW MY NAME, BUT MY FAMILY IS DEAD! DEAD! YOUR A SICK, SICK PERSON TO MENTION THEM!" I went on like this, shouting abuse at him until he got up and left, obviously disappointed with how I took his news.

After he walked out, I shut up, put my head back, and let the tears flow from my eyes. I was done. I wanted to go home. Back to Bruce. Back to being Dick Grayson-Wayne. Everything was just too hard. I closed my eyes and pictured Babs and how happy she would be to see me again. I know I sure wanted to see her...

Slade's POV (and his flash back thing sort of I guess)

I stared at the screen showing Richard Grayson. He was asleep now, but I couldn't help but think about how broken he looked when X had told him about his family. Maybe I could exploit it...? No. I gave my word to Red X that after this one last escapade, I would leave Robin alone. But, after seeing him tonight so broken and weak, I wondered if I really could keep that promise. To be honest, I had a sort of soft spot for the boy. I just couldn't say away... Well promises are made to be broken after all...

Red walked in and interrupted my thoughts. He sat down in the chair opposite me and sighed. "He doesn't believe me." He sighed again, and then said, almost as an after thought, "And why should he? He did choose to fight the good fight after all."

I looked at the boy. "Alex, its not your fault. I have spent a lot of time around Robin and I think that he is too set on his ideals to be so easily swayed. You need to think bigger. You need to think like me."

A/N: So I wasn't sure how to end this so here it is! Tada! Anyway review and tell me, Slash or no? I'm really torn about this...
