Author's Note: More reviews. Yay! Thank you!

True Titans Fan – Actually I didn't know what Slade's full name was, haha. I just started watching TT recently and I loved it right away, so I don't know THAT much about it, but I'm learning! Sorry if I have anything incorrect in here! I try my best :)

StarfireLover – :) thanks...this is the third chappie, probably my last for this weekend since I'm going away. Don't worry this one doesn't end with suspense X)

Shadw – Glad you stuck around :) haha don't worry bout your language you're fine! X)

Winged-Raccoon-The-Dragon – lol! Well you're about to find out in this chapter. Answer to question 1: There will be a bit of Starfire and Robin romance, but I can't guarantee you anything big because this is not a romance story dedicated to them (they are my favorite couple, though) and sorry, no BB and Raven love. I think they both are cool single, even though sometimes I like to read about fanfics where they fall in love. I really don't like Terra though, so I am not going to include her in my story :P sorry if you're a Terra fan!! Answer to question 2: Yes I am going to continue :) but this is the last time I am going to update for this weekend.

Chapter 3 Theme song: Ayumi Hamasaki – Surreal

Extra Note: Ayumi Hamasaki is a Japanese Pop star if you didn't know, and lots of her songs really fit this story :) You should go check her out on Windows Media, she has lots of good songs! Just a recommendation though :)

Black, semi curled hair came tumbling past JD's shoulders and swinging to down to the middle of the jacket. A pair of bright sky blue eyes blinked open, revealing a brilliant shine and a small smile. It turned out that he was she.

"A girl?" Robin said a little louder than he had intended it to be.

"Yeah, so?" JD looked slightly offended, and even a bit mad at Robin.

"JD is our top assassin and agent." Darren beamed. "She has captured, fought, destroyed and robbed hundreds."

"HUNDREDS?!" A sweat drop appeared at the back of Robin's head. "Holy crap...that's just SICK!"

"Sick?" JD asked. "I think you're the one that's a bit sick."

"Well, off you guys go now. You have training to do." Darren ordered. "Well what are you waiting for, GO!"

Robin and JD walked out side by side. "Hundreds?" Robin repeated.

"I don't see why you find that such a big surprise." JD walked ahead of Robin with her nose in the air. She began to take off her baggy pants. Robin half covered his eyes.

"Could you do that somewhere ELSE?" Robin asked, disgusted.

"I have shorts underneath, you idiot." JD sneered. She was right. She did have shorts underneath. They were the same design as the pants, just on shorts.

They kept walking. "JD..." Robin said. "What does that stand for?"

"Julian Dallemete."

"Julian? Isn't that a boy's name?"

"And isn't Robin a girl's?" She stopped walking and turned around with her hands on her hips.

Robin blushed. JD was a smart mouth.

"So where are you from?" He asked, changing the subject.

"It's none of your business." JD turned around again. "Let's go to Training Hall."

A loud door clanked open, and inside were hundreds of Slade's slaves working away, fighting against each other and lifting weights. Robin's heart sank with each step he took, following JD. The more he saw, the less he wanted to be here.

"Well, what are you standing there for?" JD picked up a virtual helmet and tossed one to Robin. He caught it, surprised.

"What's this?"

"Virtual Reality helmet. It randomly puts you in a situation, such as escaping a fire, robbing a bank, or fighting mobs of people. It's pretty cool once you get used to it. Slade's invention." JD replied, strapping on some guards and pads on her hands and knees. "Do you need some?" She offered.

"No thanks." Robin said, slightly proud. "I've trained all my life without those. Why should I need them now?"

"Suit yourself." JD shrugged. "Ready?"

Robin nodded and put on the helmet. Instantly he was surrounded by a blazing fire. He could even FEEL the heat rising and hear the fire crackling.

"The fire spit again!" He heard JD's distant voice screaming. "I hate this one. Come on, let's go!"

Robin was a bit lost. All he could se was red, surrounding him everywhere. The fiery background made him dizzy, but he continued forward nonetheless, seeing flashes of JD scrambling around.

"Great." He heard her hiss. "The last thing we need... challengers!"

Armed people with giant blue "X's" on the chests of their uniforms started appearing out of nowhere, prepared to fight. Robin dodged a few of them and threw out a random kick. Surprisingly it hit one of the men and he could feel it, but the in that instance immediately the figure disappeared. It was like he was in some sort of messed up game.

After clearing off the first team, Robin and JD continued out, climbing up random pipes and jumping from box to box. Robin started to get sweaty.

"How does he do this?" He called out to JD.

"Who?"

"Slade!"

"Don't ask me." JD said while missing a piece of flaming wire that was flying towards her head. "Whoa--!"

JD's foot slipped and she was found clinging to the edge of the platform, kicking her legs and trying to get back up. "No!" She said, angrily. "This can't happen..." Her voice was desperate.

"JD!" Robin dove down and pulled her up quickly. "Be careful!" He warned.

"That was close..." JD reported while brushing herself off." She turned to Robin. "Thanks."

"Don't worry about it." Robin said back to her. He looked down at the spitting fire. "What would have happened if you fell down there?"

"The virtual reality would either change or start over again." JD said. "Not a good thing. Slade watches your every move, and if you screw up once you have to..." She shivered." Well, you don't wanna know. Come on, let's keep going!"

The fire spat and hissed horrendously.

"There's the exit!" Robin pointed out. It was a bright white light, shining brilliantly.

Robin and JD pulled towards the exit and the minute they reached it the virtual reality shut off, returning them back to the Training Hall again. JD took off her helmet. And started ripping off her pads and gears. They walked out together.

"Pretty cool, huh?" JD grinned as the left Training Hall.

"Ye--." Robin almost smiled. Then he remembered where he was and sighed. "Actually, I shouldn't be here." He looked down. "The only reason I'm here is because Slade has my friends' lives under his control. If I don't team up with him, then he'll destroy them. It happened before, but..." Robin blushed a little, not believing he had gone so far with telling the story to complete stranger. JD didn't' seem to say anything.

"I'm sorry." She finally said.

Maybe she wasn't as heartless as she looked.

"Uh..." It was an awkward situation. "What about you?" Robin waited for a reply. Something like "My dad works for Slade..." or "I didn't really WANT to work for him in the first place..." but JD didn't say anything.

"What abou-- "

"What about me?"

"Where did you come from?"

"Why do you want to know?" JD seemed offended and acted like she REALLY didn't want to talk about it. "Who cares where I come from? What matters is that I'm here now."

"Do you like working for Slade?" Robin questioned.

"I don't really have a choice." JD stopped. "End of conversation. Don't bring this up again." She walked down a dark hall with her tennis shoes squeaking into the black. Robin heard an automatic door slide open and slam shut again.

Still he wondered what she meant.

"I don't really have a choice..."

Could JD possibly be working for Slade for the same reason he was? Robin thought about it. He looked out the wide glass window. Light started to fade away, and the heavy sun sank into the deep horizon. In the distance he saw the TT tower and his heart sank with the sun.

"There has to be another way." He whispered to himself. "I don't want to hurt them again...like I did before."

"Like you did before."

Robin turned around to discover JD standing behind him in the empty room.

"What are you doing here?" Robin asked with no tone in his voice. He seemed a little mad at JD for acting so rude to him.

"Sorry I acted like a jerk." JD said. She walked over and stood next to him. "I don't like talking about my past, especially with people who like to pry."

"I wasn't trying to pry-"

"I know, I know." JD interrupted. She turned away. "Let's just forget about it, ok?"

"I can't help but wonder though." Robin said. "What's so wrong with your past?"

"Don't you ever give up?"

Robin half smiled. "No, not really."

"Stubborn." JD nodded, a bit amused. "Just like him."

"Like who?"

JD sat down on a chair in the side of the room and sighed, looking down. She clasped her hands together and hunched forward, resting her arms on her knees. Robin sat next to her, and it was only the table that separated them. He leaned forward, interested to know what she was going to say next. JD didn't look at him. All she did was look out the window at the beautiful setting sun.

"His name was Harvey..." She blushed a little bit. "And I was his apprentice."
