Slade's lair 2:53pm
Robin stuck his hand out to Slade. "Okay…" He said in a small voice.
"Okay what?" Slade egged him and robin could just hear the smirk behind his mask.
"Ill be your apprentice." When Slade shook hands with Robin it took the raven haired boy had to use all his will to hide his smile. Was Slade actually falling for his act? Dick would never be Slade's apprentice but that didn't mean he wouldn't pretend to be Slade's apprentice. It would be so easy for Robin to give up right now, but Richard Grayson wasn't a helpless eight year old anymore, he was sixteen and could take matters into his own hands. He was trained to not let his emotions interfere to his work and that's all this was- business. Gain Slade's trust and then bring him down. His family's death would not be in vain.
"Good. Take that uniform off now and go change." Slade handed him a duffle bag that had his old uniform in it. Robin nodded and took the bag heading to the nearest empty room. He changed fairly quickly and looked down at his old uniform that lay neatly on his bed. Dick looked over every stitch, every detail. He remembered when he handed Bruce the poorly drawn design for the colorful costume that looked similar to the one he wore in the circus.
"Robin, time to go." Slade said from the doorway- how long had he been standing there? It didn't matter, robin turned to his new mentor wanting to ask where they where going but he knew it was best not to ask, the black haired boy just nodded and fallowed the taller man into the main area of the lair and into a black car. The engine started and Slade took off his mask robin was bewildered at this for a year and a half robin has tried to see this man's face and now Slade just took off his mask in front of him so casually. Slade had white hair and sharp features; one eye has an eye patch over it while his other eye was a light shade of blue. It was like he was a completely different person, the kea word was person- then Dick realized that he never saw Slade as an actual person before but rather some kind of monster.
"If we want to be partners there should be no secrets between us, now you." It was strange that Slade's voice was coming from this man's mouth. Robin figured that since Slade already knew his identity so he knew what he looked like or rather what Richard Grayson looked like so Robin took off his mask to reveal his blue eyes. "See isn't this better, now we can talk without hiding behind masks. And I think people would get suspicious of two people driving in a car with masks on." Did he just attempt humor? Dick thought to himself.
Slade's lair 5:17pm
Batman, Red X and the teen titans crashed into Slade's lair which seemed to be empty.
"Search it." The dark knight ordered the teens and they did as told. Red X kicked a door open and saw a plain bedroom with robins costume on the bed.
"Hey boss I think you'll want to see this!" Jason called to Batman who came right in. Bruce went to the costume and picked it up; he didn't even keep his utility belt. Batman cursed under his breath.
"Keep looking for any evidence of where they might have went." The heroes looked for about thirty minutes till cyborg found a letter that read-
Dear Mr. Wilson
I am enlightened to inform you that you are able to move into the space that you invested in when ever you are ready.
Josh Wright
"Ill search the handwriting and I'll pay this Josh Wright a visit." Batman said talking the note and getting into the batmobile powering it up. Jason was running behind him and saluted the titans saying "See you later" before getting in the car and driving off with batman.
The Wright House 11:32pm
After a couple hours of research in the bat cave Bruce discovered Josh Wright was a middle class reinstate agent who sold business spaces all over Jump city. Batman entered the house through the window and saw Josh on the computer, dark knight snuck up behind the young man and grabbed him by the back of his shirt. Josh yelped and batman turned him around so they where face to face.
"Th-this isn't you're city you-" Batman cut him off.
"Mr. Wilson where is the property you sold him?" the man looked so frightened.
"A-A space r-right outside of th-the city, 304 Ceadar Road! Please don't h-hurt me!" Batman put him down and left thought the window he came leaving Josh Wright stunted.
