Last time...
"...never lie to me apprentice, it only gets you into trouble" was the last words he said before the helicopter blew up...
Chapter 2
Normal POV (Bloodshed)
Stupid man, he really thought he'd actually make this trip, Bloodshed thought.
Once the helicopter had blown up, we were already above the ocean, to my luck.
Or my planning.
I grabbed the unconscious boy, and jumped from the plane with a second to spare. My ship was right above us, when the helicopter blew up, so I'd be able to jump once we got close.
I had the bomb in the suitcase Blake gave me, and the good part was it taught the man something and my apprentice...
Never lie.
"Mhmhmhmh" my apprentice started to mumble starting to wake.
The boy was like me, it was uncanny, but one thing he wouldn't do like me was waste time.
By the time the boy got off this boat he'd respect me, even more than we left.
I carried the boy with me to the captain of my ship.
"Captain" I said telling him I was there, so he wouldn't get too scared crash my boat.
"Master Bloodshed" he said bowing his head and then giving his second-in-command the controls.
"How far are we from Jump?" I asked trying to see how long I'd have before setting my apprentice straight.
"Two hours at most, sir" he said respectfully.
"Did you put the cloaking device on the boat, I don't want Jump to know I've returned just yet" I said, eyes still burning red for the blood of the Titans, I never got to kill.
The only people who escaped my wrath.
"Return sir?" he asked, scared though.
Everyone was scared of me now, except for Slade.
But everyone else was fine with me, for the time being.
"Oh yes, captain, this is exactly where I started my career, not a good start though. That's exactly why I've brought my own apprentice here, to meet a few acquaintances and to get him started" I said looking down at the disobedient, but promising boy.
"So this is your apprentice, sir, I hope he's learned his place or he'll be dead by the end of the week" he commented knowing I wasn't to be trifled with, especially when someone was to respect me.
"You should tell the boy that when he wakes up...but I must take him, to his room, so I could deal with his fault" I said before turning and heading below deck, where the rooms were.
The room I placed the boy was rather large, maybe the fact this was my room. And that I'd have to watch him and set the boy straight before we docked.
I placed him on the couch, walked over to closet and pulled out a box with calming pills in them.
Yes, I said calming pills, I started taking them back when I was Slade's apprentice, it helped suppress my...urges.
The only reason I'm using them now is because I didn't want to kill the boy after I punished him, for lying to me.
I grabbed two large pills and swallowed them, not even looking back at the boy.
"Mmmmm, so much blood, no, no, mom!" Jason yelled in his sleep before falling off the couch.
I smirked at the boy was so randomly having nightmare about his mother, despite that's how he came to be my apprentice.
The boy was so much like me when I was young and gullible. I'd have to teach him, not to hold on to the past, because it will be his down fall.
"Ow, what the hell?" he said holding his head, looking around the room.
Probably for an exit.
"Must I remind you of that mouth of your apprentice" I said before putting the pills away.
He must have been stunned that I was in the room, because of his reaction.
He dropped to his knees; and submitted himself to me, out of fear.
The boy must be terrified, oh well.
"Come here Jason" I ordered standing up, eyes still red.
He got off the floor and hurried over to me, head bowed of course.
I looked at him with curiosity. I knew I'd have to place fear in his soul know; give him the ultimate threat, to make sure he behaved on the trip.
"Apprentice, do you know why I haven't killed you yet?" I started circling him, while he kept his eyes front.
"No master" he said faintly and scared.
"You have been very disrespectful to me Jason, and that I do not take from anyone. I've killed Jason...slaughtered women, men and children, some for jobs and some out of disrespect..." I paused for a moment knowing I'd have to keep on topic before I'd kill the boy.
I took one of my swords out and placed it under his chin, sweat coming from his brow.
"I thought about killing you so many times, my boy, but I'd be losing a game that I started. When your mother died, you gave yourself to me, mind, body and soul. I invested money and time in you boy, and I expect my money to be spent properly, so..." I said bringing the blade closer to him.
"...do you want to die Jason... not even having a chance to avenge your family?" I asked knowing that was one reason he joined me.
"No master" he said with confidence, eyes looking at me.
"Then tell me Jason, what will you be doing while we're on this trip" I asked with pure curiosity.
"Whatever you tell me master...please you learn from you, anything you wish" he said, this time telling the truth.
"Good, because this is your last opportunity, Jason. You will be the perfect apprentice as long as we're here; if you do everything you're told I'll reward you when we get back. If not, I will kill you Jason, that's a guarantee" I threatened, putting my sword away, knowing he'd obey to keep his life.
Even though it wasn't a good one.
"Yes master" he said, gulped then looked at me then bowed his head.
"Now that that's, settled, I want you to do one hundred fifty pushups for lying to me earlier" I ordered, knowing he deserved a more gruesome punishment.
"Yes master" Jason said getting down in the pushup position.
"You may begin apprentice" I ordered.
He did his pushups, first at a fast pace, confidently, but slowed once he reached one hundred...fifty more to go.
"You know Jason; you deserve a more harsh punishment for lying to me and then cursing, in my presence..." I started circling him as he completed his punishment.
"Yes master" he said almost reaching his goal of one hundred pushups.
"...I have been lenient with you Jason, and you should be grateful. When I was in your position, my master never was this...forgiving; I went to bed every day with something either broken or sprained, sometimes both. Once we reach our destination, I expect you to give him the upmost respect, because he might punish you and then so will I. Then again we shouldn't have that problem, should we?" I asked grabbing the back of the boy's shirt, so that he'd be standing, eye to eye with me.
"No...no master" he stuttered out of fear.
"Good, and speaking of our destination, we're here" I said looking down at the boy.
I let go of the boy and walked over to the door, waiting to see his reaction.
Some might come and some might stay.
Jason waited, for the command just as I wanted.
"Come apprentice" I ordered and he came over in flash.
We walked up on deck to see Jump City in range; I smirked never thinking I'd return to this desolate city, except to kill.
I looked over to my side to see Jason, gawking at the scenery.
I might give the boy some time to see the city, once he pleases me.
Then again he might not because of his lack of training.
Once the boat finally docked I looked at the city one more time, before pulling my apprentice to the side.
"Apprentice, you will follow me and not make a single sound, understand?" I asked hitting a cloaking device on his belt that I just added.
"Yes master" Jason said punctually.
"Captain, send our things to the location tonight, understand?" I asked holding my apprentice by the arm, keeping him in place.
The captain nodded before I hit my own cloaking device.
"Come apprentice" I ordered jumping off the boat, heading to the woods of Jump City.
I already knew the landscape of this stupid city, since it hadn't changed much over the years. Once in the woods, I walked up to a tree, keeping my eyes where Jason was supposed to be standing.
Even though I didn't have heat sensing goggles on, I barely needed them; I'll have to ask Slade about that soon.
I hit the tree in a particular spot, before a hatch opened up, not even dusty I might add. I grabbed my apprentice's arm, pushing him through the hatch, following behind him.
I wasn't surprised to see that he was flat on his face, at the bottom of the tunnel. The room looked like a dungeon as dark as it was, but then again it was just an open space made out of concrete with beams hanging near the ceiling..
I pressed a button on my utility belt, so that neither one of us was in camouflage mode.
"Follow me apprentice" I ordered walking down the hall of Slade's supposed hideout.
We didn't get far because robots came pouring into the room.
I grabbed my swords from my sheath and readied myself.
"I want you to fight these robots apprentice; if you fail me you shall be punished. I won't kill you so early in our trip that's too easy" I sneered as the hope dropped from his face.
"Yes master" he said before knocking three robots away with his Bo staff.
At least the boy had confidence.
I stepped back from the fight, jumped onto one of the beams and allowed my protégée to fight.
The robots began to pile onto of him, causing him to fight his hardest.
The boy was getting pummeled by the robots, but soon they were stopping.
I looked around the room my swords still ready for any attack.
I turned around to see the end of sword swinging towards me, before it came in contact; I blocked it and jumped off the beam.
"On your guard boy, we've got company" I announced.
The boy was too frightened to answer but just nodded.
The figure that swung the sword earlier had jumped from the beam, right after throwing a few smoke pellets down.
It didn't bother me much since I could fight blindfolded and I had a good sense of smell and hearing.
I heard the figure jump off the beam, and was coming towards us.
I pushed the boy behind me before blocking the attack, and used my other sword to stab the target. I knew I hit the mark when I pulled the sword out and there was blood on it.
The smoke started to clear away and I'd be able to see who attacked me.
"Whoever you are, you'd better run no one is stupid enough to attack me unless they want to die" I mocked as the smoke began to clear up.
"Is that true...Robin?" the figure asked revealing the one and only Deathstroke aka Slade.
When I caught a glimpse of him, I became afraid for the first time in years.
I was too old and powerful to cower beneath Slade; then again the man was always better than me.
And despite how strong and how much I trained he'd always win.
I dropped my swords immediately and kneeled on one knee before my master.
"Master Slade" I said head bowed.
"Stand my boy, you left the master apprentice relationship years ago" was the only thing he said to me.
I stood up and looked at the man, never aging but getting stronger.
How is that even possible, as strong as he was so many years ago?
"Not really Slade, I actually became the master" I explained looking over at my apprentice who looked so afraid.
"Oh did you know?" Slade asked stupidly.
"Yes, my apprentice is over there" I said pointing to the boy with his staff still in his hand.
Smack.
I held my head, realizing that Slade had hit me on the head.
Hard, I might add.
"What the hell was that for?" I cursed already having a slight headache from the pills I took earlier.
Slade didn't answer because his gaze was on my apprentice, who was laughing.
Wait, laughing?
Slade had rushed over there in a blink of an eye, now holding the boy by his neck in the air.
"Let go, you're going to kill me" Jason pleaded dropping his staff, trying to get the man to release him.
"That's the point kid" Slade said not giving the boy any easy time.
Ohhh, Cliffhanger.
Sorry guys but you have to read more to see if Slade kills Jason and what for exactly.
