~Mia's P.O.V~
~Inside Slade's Warehouse, Thirty Minutes Later~
Running straight into Slade's arms, I started sobbing into his chest uncontrollably and unable to form any words, Slade wrapped an arm around my waist and led me away from the entrance of the warehouse, towards a staircase, and we headed up the stairs, and past a living room, and then we walked down a hallway, reaching the end of it, Slade punched in a random set of numbers, and the door unlocked.
With his arm around my, Slade turned the lights on, and at first glance, all I saw was a cheap military style bed and a dresser, but at a second glance, the cheap military style bed was replaced with a queen-sized bed, a dresser drawer, and a flat screen T.V.
Leading me to the bed, Slade told me to take a seat, and I did without question.
Taking a seat next to me, Slade and I met eyes, but we didn't speak to each other for a few minutes, until Slade broke the silence. "So, you've made your choice haven't you Mia?" He asked me, letting go of my hand then, folding his hands together, and bringing them to his chin, he eyed me after he spoke to me.
Turning my head, I looked at him before answering him. "Yes Slade, I have. Are you going to make me become your apprentice? Even though I'm no longer a member of the Teen Titans, I just don't want to hurt them or anyone else, I don't think I can do it." I confessed to him, before burying my face in my hands afterwards.
Unlocking his hands from his chin, Slade touched my back and ran a hand up and down it before speaking to me. "No Mia, I'm not going to force you to do anything that you don't want to do, but I will tell you this. The titans will never accept you, and even though you can walk out the door at anytime, no matter how hard you try the titans won't let you rejoin them." He paused and took his mask off before speaking to me. "In fact, they might try and kill you. So returning to the titans is something I cannot allow you to do." Moving some hair out of my face, as he leaned into my ear, he whispered into it, "you see, I've watched you grow up over the years from a young girl to a beautiful young woman, and I must admit that I have a small crush on you, and if anyone harmed you, I would never be able to live with myself." Slade said to me, before placing a light kiss on my cheek then he stood up and put his mask back on, and held his hand out to me, and I took it.
Once we left my room, Slade then gave me the grand tour of his warehouse, well the upper part of it anyways...
