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: Next chapter. No dark fluffies in this chapter, only a few sad ones. I know this is rather early, but I figured, I had nothing better to do and I wanted to finish the story, cause I cannot wait to begin my next one. By the way, the voting results came out evenly matched, so I suppose I'm just going to have to pick. I'll surprise you. Hehehe!

Now, on with the chapter!

Again: Drabble ideas are welcome!

Chapter 26

The first thing Red X saw when he woke up was a white ceiling. Which, considering he didn't think he should be alive, was a rather welcome thought at the moment.

The next thing the thief noticed was how hot the room was, which made him very uncomfortable. Especially since he was laying on a piece of medical paper, and it was sticking to his naked back.

But the most noticeable aspect of the situation was the numb feeling he felt on his torso.

"Wha…" he tried to speak, but a voice hushed him. He cracked and eye open and came face-to-face with Raven. She gave him a slightly concerned look.

"What happened?" Red questioned, his voice horse, as if he hadn't used it in weeks.

"You were injured."

"Well, I got that, sweet pea."

Raven resisted the urge to smack the kleptomaniac upside the head and instead settled for a rather hated glare.

"Can I move? This paper is driving me crazy."

The Goth mumbled something about 'your driving me crazy' before allowing the thief to sit up. He smiled, grateful at her, and the hero tried her hardest not to blush. Red was rather attractive.

At this moment, Slade walked through the room. He was still wearing his half mask, but dressed in jeans and a black muscle shirt. Red grinned at him.

"Big Bad!"

The man looked like he wanted to turn and flee.

"Red X." He nodded his head and made his way over to a small curtain that the thief had just noticed. The curtain was pulled back to reveal a sight that had Red's breath catch in his throat.

"Ro..Robin?"

"He's out of the water, at least for now, contrary to what he looked like when he came in, he's in good condition." Raven spoke up, turning to Slade. The man glared down at the figure laying so still in the bed. But, it wasn't out of hate…it was out of anger…anger at himself that he hadn't done more.

"The only reason he hadn't died, was because of his new abilities." The Goth continued, her eyes lowered. The hero couldn't read thoughts, but she had a good perception of feelings, and could easily feel how upset the man was, even though he didn't show it.

"Understood." Slade said harshly. The man pulled the curtain closed behind him, blocking the two a few feet away from seeing them.

The one-eyed villain swept a hand through Robin's sweat soaked hair and sighed.

After the injection had been spilled into the teen's bloodstream, it had an unnatural reaction to the sedative that had been placed inside of him a few moments before. The man had kicked himself in the back, but the thought hadn't even crossed his mind at the time. It had been about making Robin better…but he had only made him worse.

The teen had convulsed, throwing up blood, an rather large amount of blood, and fell limp on to the floor, twitching every once in awhile. He had been quickly ushered to Titan's Tower, thanks to Raven and her magic, it only took seconds, and Robin had been hooked up to an incubator since he had stopped breathing. A blood transfusion had been necessary, but no one knew what would happen should they give him his regular blood type, considering his blood was now infused with healing abilities.

It had to be Slade, it was just a bonus that the man had the same blood type as the teen.

After that, it had been a matter of waiting. Robin's body had quickly been healed of his smaller injuries by Raven, but the teen still had some rather nasty bullet holes that wouldn't heal themselves until the metal had been removed from his body.

In the end though, Raven and Slade had deemed Robin in good condition, considering. Had it been anyone else, however, they would have been long dead.

The mercenary stared at the boy in the bed. It had been a close call.

A week later, Red X had been fully healed, with the exception of a few lingering stitches on his left side that weren't due to be taken out until tomorrow. He was now sitting in Titan's Tower, on the couch in the living room, channel surfing.

Raven was meditating by an open window, the sun beating down on her. Cyborg was gobbling down a plate of waffles, his torso had been fully repaired in a matter of minutes once he had gotten home. Slade was over by Raven, a few feet away, doing push ups at a fast pace.

No one had objected to the man staying at the tower. The Goth had a rather long conversation, involving feelings and death threats, with the team if they so much as said anything to Slade about it, though.

"Will you just pick a station!" Beast Boy shouted on the couch next to Red. The thief grinned at the changeling, about to tell him to shove it, when Starfire burst through the door, her eyes bright green.

"OUR FRIEND HAS AWOKEN!"

Slade made it there first, followed by Starfire and Raven. The others quickly followed suit, and before long everyone was standing around the small white bed that housed Robin.

The teen looked extremely pale. Well, more so than usual. His abilities had basically healed every injury that he had sustained, but the hero had remained stuck in a coma.

Sometimes, Raven and Slade, usually, had heard Robin screaming in agony, haunted by his dreams. The Boy Wonder had had issues with dreams in the past, but these were almost painful. Slade had chalked it down to the body trying t cleanse their leaders body of the beast.

It was a relief to see his blue orbs staring back at them, however dull they were at the moment.

Starfire immediately bear hugged the teen in her arms, telling him of her many thanks for his well being. Raven stayed off to the side, but there was a small smile on her face. Cy and BB teased the teen about his exposed legs, since he was wearing what looked suspiciously like Slade's T-shirt. Red gladly hopped up on the bed and wrapped an arm around the hero, kissing his cheek and telling him that everything was going to be alright.

Robin patiently talked to each one of them, telling them all that he was fine, and that with a few more days of rest, everything would be right as rain. It wasn't until he heard a small cough that the Boy Wonder looked up and came eye-to-eye with Slade.

Everyone in the room was quiet.

"Would…you guys mind leaving? I need to speak with Slade." Robin asked, his voice hushed, only coming out in a soft whisper.

Everyone agreed, hurriedly ushering themselves out of the room.

"So, Tin-man." Red said once they had made their way into the living room once again. "Slade tells me that you had the cure."

Cyborg glared. "Call me Tin-man again--"

"Yeah, yeah." The thief waved him off, grinning at Starfire as he passed her. "I'm curious, how'd you get it?"

The half-metal man rolled his human eye and, beginning to make lunch, replied. "Well, we hadn't heard from you guys in two hours, so we sent BB in to check things out, as a fly. He reported back that things had gotten hostile, so we charged in. Along the way, I ended up making a pit stop when I noticed this guy trying to run outta the building muttering something about 'I have to dispose of the antidote'. I figured it was the cure, and my scanners indicated that it was. It was too easy too, he was already pretty worse for wear."

"Oh him." Red said with a frown, and since he wasn't wearing his uniform everyone could see it.

"Yeah, you know that dude?" Beast Boy snickered. "Maybe a lover?"

"Can it tofo-brain." Red X glared.

Cyborg grinned. "I think I'm starting to like this kid."

Red snickered and both Cy and the thief chased the changeling around the room.

"Robin…"

The teen in question began making his way off the bed and towards the man standing off to the side.

"Slade."

Nothing else was said for a moment, Robin gazed into the mercenaries visible eye, wishing, for a moment, that he could see his entire face.

"Are you alright?"

The hero sighed softly and looked off to the side of the room.

"Robin?"

The teen shook his head, his hair falling across his eyes as he lowered his head, not able to look at the man in front of him. Slade narrowed his eye, but made no movement.

"I'm not alright." Robin spoke, sounding so broken. "I…"

It was then that the hero burst from his spot and clung to the man who fell to one knee and held the teen in his embrace. Robin was sobbing, and Slade could faintly understand what was being said.

"I killed….and…died…he and …I couldn't stop…"

"Robin." Slade said softly.

"…I couldn't stop…"

"It wasn't your fault."

Robin shook his head. "I killed so many people…"

"Listen to me…"

"I almost killed you!" The teen shouted suddenly, his face moving from the man's shoulder to stare him directly in the eye. Robin's eyes were blazing and it was rather startling to gaze into them.

"But you didn't." Slade reassured, with a grin. "Besides, you could never kill me, I'm too awesome."

Robin stared at the man before he burst into fits of laughter. "You…did…you did not just say awesome."

Slade chuckled, knowing that would get the hero in a better mood. "Perhaps."

The Boy Wonder began laughing again, probably replaying the sentence in his head a few times. It was after five straight minutes of laughter that the mercenary had to call it quits, however.

He quickly pulled Robin into his lap, and got another startled stare as the man did something else that was so unlike him.

"What? I'm just taking care of what's mine, after all."

"You ass." Robin grinned.

"Yes, you do have a nice ass."

"That's not what I said!" The teen growled.

"Oh? You want to be put to bed?"

Robin punched the man in the arm. "Stop it! Your as bad as Red."

Slade snorted. "I'm insulted."

"You should be."

They both looked at each other and chuckled.

"To be fair, most of the ninjas were mechanical." Slade stated a few moments later.

Robin frowned slightly. "They were?"

"Yes, I checked the bio-metrics of the place before I found you and Red in the building. Most were mechanical."

"I killed him."

"Yes, he most definitely was not mechanical." Slade mused out loud, remembering the mess on the floor that had used to be Ra's. "Either way, he deserved it."

"Slade!" Robin shouted, but his voice held no real conviction.

It was then that Slade suddenly realized something.

"You know, I haven't fucked you in over a week. We're over due."

"Slade, this is not the time…"

"What? Your willingly to be mine?"

Robin growled. "I am not."

"I beg to differ."

"Yes." Robin grinned. "Begging. That's what I want to hear from you."

"The only one who'll be begging is you." And he pounced.

Slade proved three things that afternoon:

One being Robin really was his.

Two, the teen begged for it, and got exactly what he asked for.

And three…

The walls of the room were not soundproof.

A week later, the Teen Titans stood in front of a newly renovated Orphanage. The money had been more than enough to fund a dozen more places, such as this one, and they would start on the plan immediately, under the supervision of Robin of course, you just don't hand over one-million dollars to the government and not keep an eye on it.

At the moment, the press were taking pictures of the team, as Robin held a large pair of scissors in his hands. He was the one in charge of cutting the rope, which spread across the front door of the Orphanage.

The mayor was present as well, delivering some spiel about how the money was greatly appreciated and that a dozen more group homes were going to begin being built, all for the less fortunate, as well as soup kitchens, and health clinics.

The small children and administrators of the facility were standing behind Robin, wide smiles on their faces, waiting patiently for the doors to be opened. They had all been given new clothing, state of the art furniture and enough food to last them a life time. The mayor, just to get his feet wet in the operation, decided that each child were to be given a free education once they finished high school.

The cheers began as the mayor finished and Robin cut the red ribbon with the scissors, allowing the children inside. They eagerly ran inside, to check out their new home, thanking and sometimes hugging Robin when the ran by.

Half an hour later, after everything had seemed to settle down, the Titan's left the area, and were about to head over to their favourite pizza place, when they noticed the paparazzi had yet to leave, and it was clear, when they came closer, they were waiting for the tem. Particularly Robin and they had questions.

"Is it true that Slade was the winner of the contest?"

"Are you currently in a relationship with Slade Wilson?"

"Are you aware that this man has critically injured and even killed hundreds of people, all across the world?"

"How does your former partner, Batman, feel about you dating a criminal?"

"Will your relationship get in the way of saving the city?"

A rather large vein popped up on Robin's forehead and his tem began to back away, noticing that agitated look on his face.

"Is there any chance…"

"BE SILENT!" Robin spat out. Everyone within twenty feet quitted down.

The teen stepped in front of a man holding a video camera and a microphone.

"I'm only going to say this once, and once only." The teen said, taking a deep breath. "Fuck. Off."

The Titan's didn't stop laughing until they made it home and then started loosing it laughing again when they seen the broadcast on television and some of the faces of the paparazzi.

A/N: Hope you liked the chapter. There are maybe two more left, I was thinking of doing a really long last chapter, but then I thought, breaking it down into two chapters, would probably be a better idea. I know some people don't like information overloads.

Leave me a review and let me know what you think!

Love,

Jayto.
