Sorry this took so long to get out, i have had major writers block with the last part of this. I hope you like it, and please read the AN at the end of the story when you are done :)


Robin woke up but didn't open his eyes, first he wanted to try and figure out where he was and how he got there. Batman, that's what came to his mind first, then he remembered it all… They where dead, all of them, he saw his friends and family get murdered, again. Robin then realized he had to be with Slade in a lair, it felt like he was on something soft, the boy wonder decided just to open his eyes to see he was right, Slade was sitting in front of a computer just feet away from him with his back turned. Robin was lying on what looked like a hospital bed. Robin went to sit up but found his ankles and wrists where bound tightly, well that kind of crushes any chance of leaving. Without even turning around Slade said

"Glad to see you awake Robin, you where out for a while. I was starting to get worried." Robin tugged at his restraint.

"Don't you worry about me; I'll be a lot better then you in a few minutes." Slade turned around in his chair and stood up striding over to the boy.

"Oh but I do worry about you, I wouldn't want my apprentice to be sick." Robin glared at him.

"I'm not your apprentice, I never will be!" He argued, which only made Slade chuckle.

"Please Robin, where are you going to go then?" The masked man pulled up a chair and sat by his bedside. "Are you going to go home to your dead parents Richard?" Robin's eyes widened, no he couldn't know… "Or maybe back to your team, but there gone too. How about your adoptive dad and brothers, that would be a good idea if they where alive." The boy wonder opened his mouth to talk but Slade put a hand up to stop him and continued. "Your right you do have that nice butler, but don't think I'm that stupid enough to forget about him." Robin shut his eyes as Slade took off his mask. "I've thought of everything Robin, you have no where else to go." With his eyes still closed tightly he shook his head.

"Stop it!" He yelled hating the feeling of tears burning his eyes, but Slade pressed on.

"I can teach you Richard, I'm willing to take you in, to give you a home!" Robin opened his blue eyes and turned to the man.

"No! I won't join you! I-I'll run! I'll…" Robin sighed and looked down and Slade smiled behind his mask.

"Everyone you knew may be gone but that doesn't mean you can't have a life. Remember when you used to be my apprentice, it fit didn't it? You where meant to play for this side, you liked stealing for me." For once Robin was unsure of what to say or do, he had no one in this world absolutely no one. Maybe Slade was right, maybe he was supposed to be on the other side. No of course not what was he thinking! But this was how things where now, these where the circumstances and he had to face them. What would Bruce and the Titans think thou? Even thou they where gone that didn't mean he should throw away everything they taught him. As he was lost in thought he didn't even realize that Slade undid his restraints.

"Make your choice Richard." Robin snapped out of it and stood up half ready to fight and half ready to just accept his situation. The hero stood across from the villain and felt pathetic with tears rolling down his cheeks. Robin then made his decision.


The titans along with Batman and Red X where in the living room of titans tower, the team had just finished telling the two heroes about robin and Slades past relationships.

"No, we don't have to check for probes, Slade is smarter then that- to do the same thing twice. From everything that you've told me I believe Slade knows robin's secret identity and may be using it to keep Robin in his custody." Batman said to the teens that all looked at each other. "You do know Robins secret identity correct?" The Titans stayed silent for a moment till cyborg spoke up.

"We haven't even seen his eyes, we looked through some of his old things and think his name is Dick but we can't be sure." Batman looked at Red X and had a silent conversation, at the same time they both took off there masks, reveling two black haired men, Red X looked about 14 and Batman around 32, both had blue eyes.

"Dude! You're Bruce Wayne! The billionaire!" beast boy exclaimed and the older man only nodded.

"Please who is this Bruce Wayne?" Starfire asked and raven answered.

"He lives in Gotham, his parents died when he was young and he inherited Wayne industries, he's one of the richest men in the country. He also has an adopted son Rich-" Raven stopped and looked up at Bruce. "Robins Richard Grayson?" again the man nodded.

"Oh so what am I chopped liver?!" Red X crossed his arms, the teem stayed silent just looking at him. "Jason Todd, other adopted son of Bruce Wayne!"

"Aren't you supposed to be dead?" Raven responded in her uncaring voice.

"That doesn't matter now, what matters is robins in trouble." Batman interrupted and stood up going to the computer and started typing vigorously.

"Ugh, not to tell you how to do your job batman but what are you doing?" The green boy asked looking over his shoulder.

"The 'R' on Dick's chest is a tracker, if he hasn't taken off his suit ill be able to find him." Jason put his feet up on the table and sighed.

"You really think he didn't deactivate any trackers you put on him when he left?" The dark knight kept his eyes on the screen.

"He doesn't know about it." Bruce answered. As batman typed beast boy leaned over to cyborg and whispered.

"Is this creepy or what? Having an older robin clone in out house." Cyborg smirked and batman grunted the same way they have heard robin do.

"I heard that."


So before you tell me that im making robin too "Weak" and that he would never choose to go with Slade just remember how much he has been through in his life and his situation right now. And this is where you guys come in, I need to know what you want- for robin to agree to Slade's deal or to reject it. of course we all want robin to the the good thing but It'll probably be more interesting if he accepts it. I look forward to reading your reviews and seeing what you think of this chapter! Thanks for reading and putting up with me!
