Disclaimer: I do not own Teen Titans!! I wish I did, but I don't!
Pairing: Slade and Robin. Need I say more.
Warning: This is NOT a dark fic, it's slash, fluff, and sarcasm.
By the way: I do NOT have a beta, so there will be spelling mistakes. I do tend to re-read
chapters 3 times before I post, but I'm only human and I can't catch everything. Please, feel free to point any errors out. Thank you!
A/N: It's a little short, but it's got a bit of plot in it. Thank you for the reviews, I really appreciate it, makes me feel veeeeery special ^_^. I hope that you all enjoy the chapter!
Also: I'm just letting you know, because it came in a review and I thought I would address, because I have been meaning too. Batman or the JL will not be appearing in this fic. Batman might be mentioned a few times in the story, but otherwise, he will not be making an appearance. Sorry if that makes you dislike the story!
Again: Drabble ideas are welcome!
Chapter 14
____________
Diamond ran throughout Jump City, searching high and low for the teen that she had misplaced. Where could one possessed and evil teenager go? Surely there would be someone who had seen the boy, he was an icon after all.
The woman stopped on a local bank and stared out over the sunrise. She had been searching all night and not a single trace of the kid. She was beginning to give up hope.
"Hey beautiful! Come here often?" A voice whistled appreciatively.
Diamond twirled around, setting her eyes on the form of a man clad in mostly black and grey.
"Get lost, I don't have time for little boys." Diamond growled, not in the mood to play.
"Oh woe is me. But, I can assure you, I'm all man, hunnie." The voice grinned through their mask, because you couldn't see their face. The woman smiled evilly.
"Oh really? I was under the impression that men were taller. You're so scrawny and small."
The voice snickered not in the least bit deterred.
"Would you like a…demonstration?" The voice purred.
"Oh, you are fun. What's your name?" Diamond grinned, her face twisting into a beautiful expression.
"Red X, baby! How about you?" Red grinned, sauntering closer to the woman.
"Diamond."
"Pretty name, for a pretty woman."
"What happened to beautiful?" Diamond smirked, running her manicured fingernail across Red's masked eyes.
"That too. What's a hot thing like you doin' up at this hour?"
"Just a little…hunting, I'm sure you can understand." The woman grinned, making Red groan in want, Diamond was gorgeous.
"Oh really? Have you found your prey?"
"Perhaps." Her sultry voice began making the thief drool.
"Unfortunately, I don't have time to play with you. I have other things to attend to." Diamond leered, looking Red up and down. Delicious.
"That's too bad. I've got somewhere I have to be too, but…maybe we should reschedule?" Red asked, turning on the charm.
Diamond smiled and gave Red another once over before turning towards another building, jumping into the air.
"Perhaps."
Red could only grin. He might enjoy the company of men, but he really enjoyed a beautiful and sexy woman. Diamond was right up his alley.
But at the moment, he had a sexy bird to see, and maybe an equally sexy mad-man.

Crack!
"Again!"
Smash!
"Again!"
Boom!
"Again, but this time, try for the middle."
"Ugh!"
Crash!
Crash!
Crash!
"Interesting."
"Whoa, what the hell happened? Did you guys forget to tell me that we were having an orgy party?!" Red's voice rang overheard, clearly annoyed.
Robin stared upwards on top of Slade's hideout, they were currently outside the next morning, testing a bit of the teen hero's newly acquired power. Red was staring down at the duo, looking at the field that seemed to be littered with destroyed rocks and Slade-bots.
"Training." Robin mumbled, turning away, twirling his staff a few times, getting back into a defensive position.
Red gave Slade a look, clearly wondering what was wrong with Robin, but the mad-man ignored it, focusing on the teen, activating another round of bots to attack the hero.
Robin attacked, feeling lethal and powerful, his blood surging to life with the drugs, allowing them to influence his attacks. It felt as if the teen wasn't even there, but watching through a monitor as the bots feel one-by-one to the ground. He might not have noticed, but Slade did, that the hero was hitting the 'kill spots' on every one of the mechanical men.
As the Boy Wonder continued with his training, gaining speed when the more dangerous enemies were deployed, Slade turned to Red when he heard a whistle of appreciation.
"So, it was true then?" Red grinned, apparently happy with the current circumstance, jumping down and standing next to the man.
"Yes, he has been injected with the same drug as I have. His transformation is complete, we're merely testing it now." Slade explained irritated that the thief was eying his boy as if he were a shiny diamond necklace.
There were a few crashing noises and grunts from Robin on the field, and Slade pressed another button on the control center that was stationed outside. Another round of robots claimed the area, surrounding the teen in the middle of the battle field.
"He doesn't seem too happy." Red said, still eying the teen up and down.
"Remove the eyes or you wont have any." Slade growled, clicking another button on the center.
"You can't even see my eyes!"
"I can hear them moving." The man sneered.
"Touche! No threesomes?"
"Afraid not."
Red pouted and crossed his arms over his chest leaning back against the steel center.
"Seriously though, he's going through those bots like crazy, what's his deal" Red grinned. "Dang, he's not sweating like he used to!"
"Eyes! Dropped! Now!" Slade's warning snarl echoed in Red's ear.
"Don't be so jealous. I know the Bean Baby isn't into the youngin's, more the oldies."
"You don't have an off button, do you?" Slade asked hopefully, but didn't let it through to his tone.
Red stayed silent, continuing to watch the teen hero destroy machine after machine, as if stomping on ants. It was extremely attractive, but at the same time, it was a little scary. Robin seemed different, his attacks less fun, but precise and more out to kill. It was unnerving to the thief to see the teen this way, especially since Slade seemed to be worried as well. Oh sure, he might be stupid sometimes, but he had hung around the man long enough to know. Slade was worried about Robin.
Another round of robots were destroyed and Red could see that Robin hadn't even broken a sweat, as if this were child's play.
"Hey Kid!" Red yelled across the field.
"What?" Robin said, in a somewhat demonic voice, whirling around, Bo-staff at the ready, his mouth twisted into a snarl.
"Whoa…" Red gaped, taking a step back.
"WHAT?" Robin sneered again, taking a few calculated steps towards the two, as if waiting for them to attack him. He looked like a predator getting ready to attack his prey.
"He's reverting." Slade said simply, but quickly pressed a button on the control center and picked out a syringe filled with red liquid from the compartment that emerged. He was suddenly glad that he had decided to have a few spares in case. It had only been five hours since he had administered the last dosage, but it seemed that the teen's system was beginning to become immune to the sedative. Not good.
"Fuck, not again." Red glared, all amusement gone from his voice as he saw Robin coming closer to him. Sometimes he really wished he could just keep his mouth shut, it might save him from these sorts of situations.
____________
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
The intensity of the voice overtook Robin's mental and physical being. All he could think about was blood, destruction, and death. He wanted to kill, he wanted bloodshed, to destroy the two in front of him, starting with the smaller one. It would be easy, a snap to the neck, a slice through the midsection.
The teen felt his eyes widen and burn, becoming bigger and forming into slits, the force of the transformation pulling his mask from his face and to the ground. He snarled out something fierce, his once blue eyes blazing crimson and bloodshot. Robin jumped into the air, his hair becoming a glistening white as he landed on the control center, just as Slade had picked out the syringe. The beast knew now, that this man was not to be trusted, that he was trying to destroy him.
He would have none of that.
"Give it to me…" The beast sneered, reaching for the syringe in the man's hands.
"It talks now!?" Red shouted in disbelief, making the beast turn it's blood red eyes to him.
That gave Slade the chance that he needed to plunge the needle into the beast's neck. It howled in agony as the liquid entered Robin's body, painfully forcing the creature to return into the inner depths of the boy, it was just too painful.
"ARRRUHHHHG!"
Robin collapsed onto the floor, his eyes returning to normal, his body sweating, hair returning to it's normal silky raven locks, with just a hint of soft white highlights that were hardly noticeable.
Slade and Red approached the fallen teen, Red a bit apprehensive, not wanting to be the victim of the beasts claws again, they hurt! Slade didn't have the same feelings and picked up the teen and carried him into his hideout, and back to the infirmary.

"I thought you said the sedative was working?" Red glared at the man as he was printing off some charts.
"They were."
"They were? So, what was that?!" Red snarled.
"His system is becoming immune to the drugs that I've been injecting into him." Slade said, his voice balancing on annoyance and anger, but not at Red, well, at least not all of it.
"So what are we supposed to do? At least when they were working, we had a time limit, now who knows when he'll change!" Red exclaimed, his hands waving around in random directions.
"Stop yelling!" A voice groaned behind the two villains.
"Kid!"
"Shut up. I have a killer headache, and you insisting on yelling is driving me through the wall!" Robin ground out, sitting up on the stretcher table.
Red snorted but said nothing.
"Besides the headache, how do you feel?" Slade asked, watching the boy on the table to see any other side affects. He had given the teen a stronger dosage this time. But, since it was his own creation and had only been tested on the boy in front of him, he hadn't wanted to try a larger dose, but desperate times called for desperate measures. It had been necessary.
"Dizzy. What the fuck happened?" Robin asked, somewhat calm. "All I remember is this crazed voice in my head, and then blanking out, I'm assuming that I reverted?"
"Seems Bean has gotten smarter. He's figuring out these things himself now, I'm so proud." Red joked, receiving a laugh from the teen, which wasn't expected and both villain's raised an eyebrow, but you couldn't see it.
Finally, Robin opened his eyes and took in the two in front of him. Red gasped loudly.
The hero stared at the thief as if he had grown two heads.
"I think I may have to try…even if I get killed, it would so be worth it." Red claimed, snickering at Slade.
"You'll do no such thing." Slade said coldly.
Robin just stared at the two as if they were crazy, well…crazier.
Red pranced closer to the stretcher table and leaned against it, staring at Robin. After a few moments, Robin grew uncomfortable and growled.
"What the hell are you doing?"
Red merely grinned. "You have the most gorgeous baby blue eyes."
Robin stared hard, frantically trying to figure out what the thief was talking about. Baby blue eyes?
Suddenly, it fell into place.
He slapped a hand over his face, feeling for the mask, hoping against hope that he still had it on. But, the heavens hadn't smiled upon him that day, because he came up empty handed.
"Shit."
