Caged Birds Cannot Sing
Painful Admittance...
Robin had been very silent that day, his legs had healed, yet his head and arms hadn't healed and Slade was getting a little...pushy, he kept trying to read to him, offered him a bath...and tried to get him on his lap, Robin was not gay, he knew this to a T, but then...
Why did he feel so hot around his enemy?
"Maybe I'm crazy"
Robin sighed
"Crazy for me?"
Slade laughed, Robin snorted
"As if, like I'd fall for you"
Slade gave a sly smirk
"Many have, you'll join them in time, my little bird"
Robin got up and began walking around, trying to get used to his legs, he tried to jump and managed to get on the swing...before realising how high he was and clinged to the gold swing, he hated to say it but, he needed Slade's help...
Slade was working on his work when he heard little cries and yelps, he turned to see his favourite little bird hanging on for his life, he sighed as he went into the cage, Robin was stiff with fear, not of falling on Slade, hell, that would be funny, but falling and getting more hurt than he already was.
"Robin, it's ok, fall and I will catch you"
Slade said, Robin shook his head,clearly afraid
"I swear I will not violate you, I swear ok!"
Slade said a little frantically now, the kid was of no use to him dead! And if Robin died, who could he torment! But Robin was hell bent on gripping the swing. Slade decided to get him by force, he leapt up higher than Robin thought he could and landed on the swing, Robin got a little fright and slipped but Slade caught his hand.
"Listen Robin, if you push up, I'll pull ok?"
Slade said, Robin gulped and nodded, he pushed himself up and Slade hefted him into his arms, Robin's heart was beating frantically, he couldn't believe it, his nemesis had just saved him twice, but still Robin couldn't trust him...not yet, saving his life may have been just a façade, a charade to gain his confidence, and as Bruce had said...
'The only person a man can count on is himself, only one man alone in combat can succeed, always remember this, Robin'
He always did...
Slade panted madly as well, that scared him a little, the thought of losing his pet...his rival...his Robin, he looked at the panting boy and smiled.
"Well, aren't you going to...say something?"
Slade asked, Robin slowly looked up at the bronze mask
"Yes...Do you always wear that mask?"
Robin smirked, Slade looked at him sternly
"Ok, ok...thanks...Slade"
Robin mumbled
"What? I cannot hear you? Sing louder little bird"
Slade leaned his head closer
"I said...THANKS! SLADE!"
He eventually said, well yelled
"See, not hard is it?"
Slade smiled as he leapt down, Robin still in his hold.
"Hey, Slade...why do you always wear that mask?"
Slade looked at the boy, Robin was genuinely curious.
"Well, if you sleep with me tonight, I'll show you"
Slade winked, Robin looked away
"Never mind, I'll take the cage, thanks"
Robin muttered dryly
"Suit yourself, pet"
Slade laughed as he sat the boy down and walked out, Robin made a dash to overtake Slade but he was cut off by the glass and slammed against it.
"Oops, my bad"
Slade smirked as he got back to work
Robin sat watching the pen in Slade's hand boredly before yawning, catching the man's attention, Slade laughed softly.
"Bored? Pet?"
He asked, Robin wasn't going to deny it, he truly was bored out of his skull, so he decided, why not talk to his arch enemy, he figured by the end of his stay, he'd probably, be either dead, or Slade's sex slave...the first sounded a lot better, being a sex slave...and to Slade that did not sound pleasant, Slade shocked him by saying.
"Awww your scared I'll rape you? Don't threat I won't...not yet at least"
Slade winked at the now very scared teen.
"YOU CAN READ FREAKING MINDS!"
Robin yelled
"No...only yours"
That didn't help the teen too much...Slade had finished his work, so he decided to talk to his prisoner, well, not a prisoner but, like his pet. Robin just talked about the incident and how he hated the Joker, that brought Slade back to his question.
"Who is the Joker, Robin?"
And with that Robin exploded in hate and swears about the clown.
"Ok, ok, why do you hate him...more than me"
Slade asked almost a little jealous
"Well...let's see..."
Flashback
Robin's P.O.V
Down town Gotham city, late afternoon Friday, I had never met you Slade, my life was a lot better before that, but, anyway, Bruce had been at home on break and I was happy to an extent, I'd see him most of the day...If I went out he never hut me like someone I know now! As I was saying, we played on the PS2 when we got a call, I was actually a hero before I met my team...
but that's not important the now...
We got ready and jumped down, well he did I was to stay solo, weak huh? But I did as I was told, back in the day, even if I died, I did my orders, kinda glad I didn't know you, that would have been scary, the things you would have me do...I really don't want to know...
Anyway...
I was on the building when I heard the cry of a woman in need, heroic right? I did what I had to do, jump down, bash some heads...but I didn't check to see behind me, I was knocked out cold...
When I woke up...I was tied up in an old warehouse, I struggled as hard as I could but...as hard as I tried, no freedom, I saw the batman, my mentor, or as you call it Slade my 'Master' but don't get any idea's! I'm long past the 'Master' stage so put it out of your mind! As I was saying...I saw Batman fly in, I was right in front of him so...why couldn't he see me?
The answer?
Joker appeared still with the insane laugh and smile on his hideous face, he started babbling about his grandiose plan to ensure a happier earth for all...what a maniac, Batman cut to the chase and began fighting, I noticed, the more he moved the more I began to fall, that's when it hut me, I looked down...I was hanging above Joker Acid, a chemical Joker used to turn people into him, I was more worried about Batman, I saw the Joker pull out a dagger and tried to shout, I managed to break free and fly over to the Joker...
That's when it happened...
The Joker's smile covered his whole face as he plunged the dagger into Batman's chest repeatedly, I saw the pain on his face and the blood dribble down, my whole body just broke down...
I always thought that hero's won...
That day, I realised I had lived a dream...
I woke up...
End Flashback
"Well Slade...that's my story"
Robin smirked
"Seems I wasn't just a kid on the street, I'm a full flunked hero"
Robin said smugly
"Err...Slade?"
He said only to see him asleep, Robin got a stress mark on his head
"I FRIGGIN POUR MY HEART OUT AND YOU JUST FALL ASLEEP!"
Robin screamed waking the man up
"Uh oh, my birds cranky"
Slade smirked
"OF COURSE I AM YOU JUST BRUSHED ME OFF!LET ME OUT I'LL RIP YOU APART!LETME OUT, LET ME OUT!"
Robin screamed battering the cage and running madly in his cage, Slade just held in a laugh and sat up straight, Robin was panting on his side.
"I...really...hate...you"
Robin panted
"Awww I really hate you too little bird"
Slade laughed
"I meant it though, I could kick your ass if I was out"
Robin said defiantly
"Watch your tongue, pet, I might have to punish you if you push me"
Slade said in a warning tone
"Awww what's the matter? Afraid a little boy will make ya look bad, Slade?"
Robin giggled, Slade stared at him for a while before sighing
"Ok...I'll fight you...but..."
Oh no not a but...
"B-But what?"
Robin said
"If I win...you sleep with me"
Robin's mouth dropped
"Uh uh, not a chance Slade!"
Robin protested
"Fine...clothes ON"
Slade said
"And if I were to win?"
Robin asked
"I will remove the swing and add...a toilet"
Slade reasoned
"Mm...Ok deal!"
"Just remember my little bird, I will not go down so easily"
Ok that's this chapter done
Poor Robin, all his childhood ruined by a clown
I TOLD YA CLOWNS WERE EVIL! :'(
Slade is a big egotistic bully! I can't believe he fell asleep when Robin poured his tragic tale out! A tale he never ever told his team...
What will happen when they fight?
Will Robin win?
Or
Will Robin pull a little trick on his sparring partner?
