O.o ::Curls up somewhere:: I'm sorry for the OOCness, this is my first Titan fic...I usually write Harry Potter, but I've run out of ideas so I'm switching for this one story. o.o' ::Cough:: Yeah. Anyway. Sorry my story sucks. x.x I'm bored and I need something to do.

-Apprentice, Continued-

By Lyla Hayden

Part Two:

"You don't want me to be your apprentice again, do you, because we all know how well that one turned out," Robin sneered.

"Yes and no. I want you to be my slave slash apprentice."

Robin blinked. "You want...what?"

"Sign some papers, be my slave, and I'll make sure that your friends win the games. If you don't, they will all die, but you will live. Alone. And it will be all your fault. Why don't you sit there and watch while I fetch you the papers. Enjoy yourself, my pet." And then in the blink of an eye, the figure was gone.

Robin grumbled to himself and looked back at the screens. Might as well watch them, right? It wasn't as if he had a choice. It was either his freedom or their lives. The city could have one, lone hero, or four. Not a very hard decision to make.

Beast Boy gasped and fell back in his chair, scrambling to his feet. "WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU?!"

"Hello son." Tears filled Beast Boy's eyes.

"No...you're dead. GO AWAY!" He slid back into one side of the circle and curled up in a ball there. "Dead...dead...not here..." The man once more changed shapes, first taking on the black shadow, then another man, this one much taller. "Uncle..." he whispered, his eyes wide. "No...YOU ALL DIED! DIED!!!"

Raven squirmed trying to stand up. She fought off all emotions, trying not get too upset over her lack of ability to stand. "You'll die here, you know. If you don't stand, your body will soon be crushed."

Cyborg dove off to the right to avoid the blow, but the man countered, following him and plowing directly into his gut. Cyborg was thrown across the room and slammed against the wall with enough force to make him feel faint. Impossible. He was losing, and badly.

Starfire turned a corner and stopped in place, completely stilled by shock. There, standing in front of her was a statue she had passed only three minutes ago. That was not supposed to happen! She'd made an entire circle. She would NEVER get out of here at this rate.

The door burst open, when had it shut? Robin turned to see Slade walk in. He had to fight off the tears that threatened to overwhelm him at this point. "Have you made a decision about what you're going to do, my pet?"

"I'll sign it."

"Very good." Slade grinned, setting a piece of paper on Robin's lap. "Sign and I will signal my team to allow the other to win." All of the clamps around him faded away as if they weren't really there. All except for the collar, which fell away from the chair but stayed with him when he bent to reach for the pen Slade was holding.

He took the pen and with a shaky hand, he signed the dotted line at the bottom of the paper. "Very, very good, my pet," Slade purred as he took the paper and pen back, slipping them into his pocket. He laughed softly, smiling triumphantly, and walked over to the screens.

Slade reached out and hit a large blue button. When had that gotten there? Robin didn't remember seeing that before. Then again, he'd been a bit preoccupied at the time, anyway.

Beast Boy froze seeing the figure shimmer back to its normal shape. Horror screamed, seeing that his façade had disappeared. Beast Boy jumped at him, taking him down to the ground along with the chair beneath the man. Horror hit his head on the cool stone ground and passed out.

Raven jumped up, feeling the weight lift enough for her to move. Mystery screamed and faded away, clutching at his face. She ran out of the room and once she'd stepped just outside the door, she once more felt light on her feet.

Cyborg gasped when he saw the other man scream and hold his head. His turn. Cyborg held out his arm and fired his favorite weapon. A large blue beam of light came out and stuck Action, knocking him through the wall across from him.

Starfire flew around a corner and saw it. A large wooden door. She quickly flew over to it and entered, finding herself back in the classroom. She nearly laughed with joy. Her hands still shaking from the maze, she flew out of the classroom and nearly collided with Raven.

"Raven! Oh god! Thank goodness you're alive!"

"I was worried for a moment, but I seem to be just fine. I am glad that you are well, too. I propose that we find the others and get out of here as soon as possible."

"I agree," a voice said behind them. Starfire flew over and hugged Cyborg. "Glad too see you too. I think it was a trap but...why was it so hard then suddenly, a piece of cake?"

"Don't look a gifthorse in the mouth, I always say." Beast boy. Starfire scooped him up into her arms laughing.

Robin watched silently as his friends greeted one another. "Come, my pet. Let us go say goodbye to your friends."

"We have to say goodbye?"

"Well, you don't want them to worry about you, now do you?" Robin shook his head and stood up. "Oh, no worries. It'll be through telekinesis. That way your friends can't try to kill me to free you. Then they'd have two corpses to deal with.

"You see...I die, you die. That's how that collar of yours works, my pet. Isn't that wondrous?" Robin growled and sat back down. Slade put one hand on his shoulder and closed his eyes. Robin followed suit.

When Robin opened his eyes again, he found himself coming out of the shadows, a certain someone trailing after him, hand on his hip. Hip? Robin looked down. Indeed Slade had his arm around his waist.

"Robin!" Said boy looked over at his friends and half-smiled. "Why're you with Slade?" Slade pulled on Robin's hip, pulling him closer. Robin hissed softly. Slade just laughed.

"We came to say goodbye, so just say it, pet. I want to get home."

"Bye guys," Robin all but whispered. The Titans heard him none the less.

"Bye? Where are you going?"

"He's coming home." Slade pulled Robin in front of him and rested his chin on the boy's shoulder. "Aren't you, pet?" Robin just nodded. "Let's get going now. We don't want to be late. Marie is expecting us."

Robin's eyes flew open when he felt something move against his lips. He pushed Slade off and glared at the man as he stood there laughing. "That's not funny! Don't ever do that! Just...ew!"

"You'll get used to it. You'll have to, my pet."
