Slade stares blankly into space. He had been watching clips of the
Teen Titans for hours. He had paid much attention to Robin clips. Slade has
always wondered what he did wrong to cause his death. What did he do to
make everything go wrong? Was it wrong of him to send Jinx out after him?
She was the best in the HIVE.
Slade is completely oblivious to his surroundings. He doesn't even notice
the woman from before come up beside his throne. She stands there for a
couple of minutes almost admiring Slade for who he is. "Ahem," she says.
Slade is knocked out of his daydreams and quickly turns off the screen. He
looks down at the woman. "And who do I owe the pleasure of meeting." The
woman steps into the light and Slade recognizes her.
"Oh. It's you."
"Yes, Slade its me. I'm surprised you remember me."
"How could I forget? You are now the leader of the HIVE now. What ever
happened to that old lady?"
"Let's just say she 'retired'."
Slade walks down from his throne and puts his hand on her shoulder. "You
will be better than her, won't you?"
"Of course. You know I have always admired you Slade."
"Yes, I know, Calista." There is a pause as Slade walks a little ways from
her.
"What is it you want? I know you quite well. You don't come her unless you
have something important to tell me."
The woman chuckles, "Yes, I do. I happen to have found one of your
scientists a while ago working on a 'secret project'."
"Oh?"
"It involved cloning of some sort. He had successfully cloned someone. Of
course he did this without permission."
"Why did he do it?"
"He will not tell."
"And who did he clone?" Slade turns to the woman and she smiles at him.
