Slade had a new plan that was as brilliant as any other he ever had before, if not more so.
The doors slid open for Robin as he stepped into the main room. Where Beast Boy and Cyborg were playing GS2. They fought each other furiously in their games.
"DUDE! You so cheated!" BB complained having lost their 10th game of the day.
"Look, it ain't my fault you suck so bad lima bean!" Cy shot back.
"Maybe I wouldn't suck if you didn't cheat so much Tin Man!" BB glared fuming.
"Maybe you wouldn't suck if you didn't play so much Tofu Breath!" Cy corrected.
"Maybe I wouldn't play so much if you didn't cheat so much Robo Snot!" BB bitched.
Robin rolled his eyes at them. They couldn't just play their games quitely and like any other civilized... whatever-they-are's. But then the screen no longer beared the image of a video game, but the mask of Slade. Unless of course a new game had been made with Slade in it. Beast Boy and Cyborg threw their controllers down and backed away from the screen. He growled at the TV and made his way closer like a predator seeking his prey. Slade noticed this and merely chuckled. Robin was now right in front of the screen. His mask turned to thin slits watching the evil villain.
"Hello--" Slade was interrupted by Starfire who flew in and let out an "EEEEEKK!" as soon as she saw him. She ducked behind an already agitated and angry Robin who was on his last nerve.
Slade shook his head watching unfazed as Starfire skillfully and oh-so 'innocently' grabbed a hold of Robin's cape and hid behind it. With a mischevious smirk only he could see. He had to admit that was a smart move for the naiive Starfire. Making a tricky move seem simple and meaningless.
"Titans." He finished the previous sentence. "I had the best idea. Maybe you'd like to know what it is?" Slade questioned. Hecontinued before anyone could say anything. "Well you see, I will be unleashing dozens upon dozens replicas of myself. You'll have to destroy every single one to find the real me. They will be roaming the city destroying everyone and everything in their way. That is part of my plan of course. You all will just have to figure the rest out yourselves." Slade concluded and left Robin there seething.
Raven was in her room and sitting on her bed. She got out her Slade communicator since she felt the faint vibrating. She was told the same thing as the others, but there was just a little extra on how she would die and etc. A whole bunch of things that made Raven's stomach lurch. Then, Slade cut off the connection and got back to Professor Chang about the new order he had in mind.
The Professor complied and soon enough, there were tons of deadly Slades walking around ready to wreak as much havoc as they possibly could. All was working out well. Slade would have all the Titans including Red X defeated. It would just take a little longer until the attack and the action actually begins.
As Slade saw it, many cared deeply for Raven. If she were to 'die' then the team would most likely fall apart. Even Red X seemed to care for the empath. So some amount of pain would be caused to him. Especially if it were to somehow be his fault. He gathered his Sladebots and worked on the finishing touches. Formulating everything to perfection so that there would not be anymore mishaps. The Titans could thank Red X for every bit of misery they felt after Slade had carried out his will on the city and team. For he had bought the villain extra time to bring out the most vile of ideas he could ever muster.
Distracting the Titans, so that he could get Raven. Once that was accomplished, he'd make them watch as she 'died'. That was his ingenious idea. There was some told and much left unrevealed. But all of which Slade had prepared would come to pass. No matter what they wished, no matter where they'd go, no matter how they'd squirm, there is nothing they could do to stop it.
A/N: Why would so many like Red X/Raven? I couldn't resist, I had to put that whole "how you squirm" thing from the episode 'Birthmark'. So now, just review!
