"Robin!" Slade's voice in his ear woke Robin up abruptly and he looked around for a few seconds, not realizing where he was. When he finally did realize, he sighed and stood. His eyes adjusted slowly to the no-light of his room and he looked around. He would have to buy-steal-a light bulb for his lamp on their next "outing". Tears welled up in his eyes and he pushed them down. Crying showed weakness, and no way was Robin going to show weakness in front of Slade. He wiped his eyes and got dressed, trying not to think evil thoughts about Slade. He failed.
"Stupid jerk.AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Robin clutched his head and sank to his knees. The pain was almost unbearable. The pain stopped as abruptly as it had began, and Robin was left breathing heavily, sweat running down his face. Slowly, the tears started to pour from his eyes as he stood. He wiped them away and took a deep breath. He wouldn't cry anymore. He would show Slade how strong he was. Robin walked out of his room, his brow furrowed in concentration, trying to figure out a way to get out of his current predicament without killing Starfire. The pain in his head came back, and he stopped thinking about escape. 'So.Slade is making sure we don't try to escape by controlling our thoughts.How?' The pain came again, and Robin just stopped thinking entirely. The pain slowly ebbed away, and so did his desire to leave. If he didn't think about it, it was as if he wasn't doing it at all. Without thinking, he stood in front of the wall-to-wall screens Slade had set up and waited for Cyborg and Beast Boy. Cyborg came first, yawning and glancing over at the three females, still tied to their chairs in the corner. Kiyani was asleep, her head on Raven's shoulder. Raven was jerking around in her seat, and if she hadn't been tied to her chair, she probably would've fallen off. Starfire was sleeping peacefully, a little sliver of drool hanging out of her mouth. Cyborg smiled and turned to Robin, who was staring blankly at the wall. Cyborg's smile faded and he stood next to Robin, shifting nervously from foot to foot. Beast Boy came in next, actually going over to Raven and touching Raven gently. She stopped jerking around and settled into a quiet sleep, every once in a while jerking around in her seat. Beast Boy came to stand on Robin's other side and when Robin didn't acknowledge his presence, Beast Boy waved his hand in front of Robin's face. Robin's hand shot out and put Beast Boy's down. Beast Boy laughed nervously and turned to face the wall like Robin and Cyborg. Slade came in and stopped in front of Robin, who kept staring ahead blankly. Slade smiled and turned to Cyborg and Beast Boy.
"You two should be more like Robin. He is resigned to his fate." Robin's eye twitched, but he kept staring blankly ahead, pushing all thoughts out of his head. Slade smiled and put his hand on Robin's shoulder. A shudder ran through Robin's body and he pushed down his thoughts, trying his hardest not to reach up and grab Slade's arm and slam him into the ground.
"You are a fine apprentice, Robin. Who knows, you may be an even better villain than I am." Robin let something like a growl escape from his lips and he looked down. Slade's smile only widened and he took his hand off Robin's shoulder. Robin let out a visible sigh and looked up at the wall again as if nothing had happened.
"You'll be stealing from Wayne Enterprises again tonight. This time, from Bruce Wayne himself. He has a microchip I want, and I need you to get it for me. Do this, and I may let you untie the girls for a little while." Robin nodded his head once and, sensing Slade was done with them, left to his room. Beast Boy and Cyborg gaped after him.
"Dude, what just happened there? Robin didn't go berserk! I thought he was gonna pop!" Cyborg looked down in defeat.
"Maybe Slade is right. Maybe Robin is resigned to his fate." Starfire, who had awoken, shook her head.
"NO! Robin cannot be 'resigned to his fate'! He is simply trying to.to think up a plan for us! He cannot have given up.Not so soon." Tears started to spill down Starfire's cheeks and she sniffed.
