Chapter 10: You Don't Have to Let GO.

"Hiyah!" Robin called out, kicking out his leg. Slade looked up, his eye wide, and blocked the powerful blow with his arms up and fell back from the force of the kick.

"What did you do to Starfire?!" Robin yelled.

"My dear boy," Slade put his arms down and leaned towards Robin. "Your affections towards her have made you sloppy and distracted. You should be happy if I finished her, but I didn't."

"I used to think I was only a hero," Robin backed away from Slade and pulled out his bo-staff. "but I'm not just a hero and Starfire is more than my best friend..." Robins words trailed off as he narrowed his eyes realizing he was telling this to his archnemisis. He jumped up again.

"Your too sloppy Robin, you have become to predictiable." Slade did a round off towards Robin and kicked him in his stomach at the end. Robin landed against the wall, with a sickining thud. Robin stood up groggily as Slade flipped up and over Robin causing Robin to look up wide eyed.

"If I'm really your son, why do you fight me?"

Slade looked shocked and replied, "I do not fight you, Robin, you fight me." Slades voice had a hint of dissapoinment and Robin ignored it. He didn't care. Robin took out two bird-a-rangs and put them together. The metal yellow beaks formed together and their sized lengthened, as the red birds formed together, creating a yellow and red saber.

"New tricks will get you no where Robin." Slade hissed, his deep irresistable voice echoing across the lair. Slade pulled off his own new trick, he pulled out his own wide blade saber and lunged towards Robin.

"looks like we're fighting old school!" Robin called out and also lunged at Slade.

Starfire had just awoken from another injection from the vile liquid Slade had used. She saw the masked Boy Wonder that she loved, and her devious captor fighting with sabers and Starfire called out, "ROBIN!"

"Starfire?!" Robin looked over and saw Starfire tied up against the wall with chains. She smiled at him, and he smiled back. But his smiled dissapered quickly when Slade almost hit him in the arm.

"Stay out of this, my dear girl!" Slade looked up and over at Starfire, who just looked shocked.

"Leave her ALONE!" Robin yelled and attempted to hit Slade in the mask again. "She isn't your apprentice, and she never will be!"

"Don't think that I havent given it thought, Robin. She can utterly destroy anything, and ANYONE in her path. She has tremendus power." As Slade and Robin fought on, Starfire struggled with her chains as she tried to get free. She tried her Starbeams but the familier fizz on her eyes she would have normally gotten, didn't happen. Slade had overdosed her on the beatle wing juice and Starfire remained powerless. Slade had just knocked Robin down and was holding a knife with what looked like dried blood on it. "This Robin, is the same knife that your mother used on me to make me how I am today, a one eyed man. And it holds another dark truth, it's the same knife I used to kill her. This will make us closer Robin." Slade lifted the knife up above Robins left eye. Robin struggled and squirmed to get free, but every time that he moved, Slade pressed down on Robins wrists and ankles harder. As Slade brought the knife down with a great force, a steady ray of green energy knocked Slade off of Robin.

"Starfire! Your okay!" Robin ran over to the weak Starfire and started cutting at the chains, only to hear a clicking and beeping noise. He turned around in mid-slice.

"Your time WILL come Robin," Slade had his hand on a electronic green screen. Slade was going to destroy the lair again. "And when your time comes, you will be my apprentice."

The lights became a sickining red and made the lair look like it was covered in blood. Robin finished cutting the chains off of Starfires wrists and picked her up bridal style and ran out of the lair and into the sewers, only to see the rest of the team approching them.

"What took you guys so long?" Robin asked between pants.

"DUDE! We got here as fast as we could!" Beat Boy yelled

An explosion caught their attention and they turned around to see the colapsing lair.

"Yeeeeeah... So how is she?" Cyborg pointed at Starfire, who had fainted from the sudden use of enegry.

"I'm not sure..." Robin said looking down at the girl in his arms. He looked up again to see Cyborg, Beast Boy, and even Raven, smirking at him.

"What?" Robin asked as his cheeks turned a dark shade of pink.
