A/N: For those few seconds of Enzo being with the Teen Titans was an important part of this fan fiction. What Robin and Slade do not know is that Enzo blabbed a lot things to the Titans. Some other things went on, but I can't tell you that much till later in this fic. Please give a review.
Chapter 6
Robin stood strait and tall as he waited for the door of Slade's main room opened. He straitened his shoulders and Enzo stood a bit straiter as well on his shoulder. They both had to be looking good if they wanted Slade's approval of their mission. The door opened and Robin gave a sign and walked in.
Slade was standing next to a screen that was a layout of the whole town. He was looking at it and was studying it deeply as Robin came in with Enzo. Robin slowly held up the gadget of Cyborg's and watched Slade.
"Got the gadget and got out of there on time," Robin said. "You promised me some sleep."
Slade turned around from his work and grabbed the gadget out of Robin's hands. He turned back to the screen and said, "I'll give you 7 hours of sleep."
"WHAT?!" Robin yelled in protest. "I got no sleep for a whole week. I need more sleep than that."
Slade glared over his shoulder at Robin and said, "With that attitude I'll only give you 5 hours."
Now Enzo was having enough. He jumped off Robin's shoulder and yelled up at Slade, "He risked his butt everywhere you have sent him. He needs more sleep. And that gadget was not built for what you are doing with it. Its more powerful than you think it is."
"You know nothing about this gadget," Slade said. "Now shut up and come back here in a hour because I'm too busy to give you sleep right now. Your room is down the hall on the right, Robin. Robin?" The teen was gone.
Slade frowned and slowly walked away from the screen with his eyes darting around the room. He saw some movement that could have been barely even seen. Enzo looked around and saw nothing. He knew Robin was in the room though.
Slade made his way to the door slowly but surely. He then quickly pushed a button and tons of floodlights came blasting on and he saw Robin's shadow. He heard Robin swear and saw the shadow come running at him.
Robin turned visible at the last second when he was in mid air and coming in for a karate kick in Slade's stomach. It was executed perfectly. Slade slammed into the door, but was still standing and barely stunned.
Enzo just stood there watching as the two went at it. They were both extremely good, but Slade seemed to have the upper hand of the fight. First, Robin was already worn out from having no sleep in a week. And second, Robin had just fought the Teen Titans. He was still good though.
After a long time of fighting Robin was starting to slip away. He was just too tiered to fight for too long. Slade pulled out his pole that made a clinking noise as he pulled it out. Robin had nothing and did his best to not get hit by the sheet of metal being swung at him.
Suddenly Slade pulled a really fast move that was totally too fast for poor Robin and the teen got the pole slammed into his stomach and knocked all the air out of him. Enzo winced as he saw this. He had wanted to help, but what could a little fuzzy alien do in the middle of a quick fight. He would have just gotten in the way.
Robin dropped to his hands and knees and tried to get his air back as Slade put away his pole. "You got three hours to sleep now, Robin," Slade said and watched as Robin struggled to his shaking feet. "Go get washed up and come back here in a hour."
Robin said nothing as he tried to get to the door without limping. Enzo did not jump on his shoulder. He just slowly walked behind him.
"And Robin," Slade said just when the door opened. Robin stopped but did not look behind or turn around. "Don't try that again. Ever."
Robin looked up and closed his eyes as water of the shower sprayed on his face that had needed a bath for a long time. Enzo was rambling on in his room, but Robin could still hear him from where he was in the shower.
"That gadget is way too dangerous for that Slade dude," Enzo said while hopping onto Robin's bed that was bolted to the floor and had only a mattress and no softness at all. "It was built to be a torturing device. You take a person's sleep away and they slowly suffer because of not having any sleep."
"Then how come Slade is using it on me if he knows it will might kill me?" Robin asked as he got out of the shower and dried himself off with a towel that was ready to fall apart. "He could have at least given me a mission to get a better towel," he muttered and started to pull on his clothes.
"Slade has no idea what that gadget can do," Enzo said while bouncing a little on the bed. One on the springs popped out and sent Enzo flying into the air. Right when Robin opened the door of the bathroom and came into his room he saw Enzo soar through the air and collide with the metal wall.
Robin was wearing his Slade outfit but did not have all the protection on and his left his shoes in the bathroom. When Enzo got his head to stop spinning he could see that Robin's ankle was puffing up and was purple. No wonder he was kind of limping when they walked to his room. Slade must have hit him really hard. Robin seemed not to notice it though.
"If Slade uses that gadget for what I think he's using it for then your brain could get fried," Enzo said as Robin sat down on his bed with a sigh.
Robin put his hands behind his head and lay down. He closed his eyes and asked, "How do you know this?"
"I've been well..." Enzo begun but stopped and scratched the back of his neck and looked to the floor. Robin opened his eyes and looked down at his furry friend on the floor. "In that tower I used to be in I had been tested with every gadget there and have...well...been building lots of gadgets for them. It was either the stupid gadget or my life in some places. Those gadgets I built some were really dangerous. And that gadget Slade has...well..."
Robin sat up and stared down at the alien with his eyes wide and asked, "You built that thing?!"
"Hey!" Enzo said. "They knew that I was smart enough to build it. It only took me a few months to get it done. I did not want to build it though. But I've built worse things than that thing. And Slade is totally using it wrong. You could get killed."
Robin got out of bed and paced the floor. "Man, I've got to get out of here."
"Do you remember the first time you got zapped by that gadget?" Enzo asked as he watched Robin pace.
Robin stopped and looked at Enzo and said, "Well duh! It felt like my brain was going to explode. No, I felt nothing at all." His words were dripping with sarcasm.
Enzo frowned and said, "If Slade uses that gadget too much that is exactly what your brain will do."
Robin suddenly did not want any sleep. His stomach started to hurt again. It was sick feeling that was deep down and was only triggered when something really bad happened. He sat back on the bed and he and Enzo shared eye contact. In both eyes was a little bit of panic.
