((Author's Note: Teen Titans doesn't belong to me, blah blah blah. I'm a poor student with no money; suing me would be pointless.
This story is mostly a rewrite of the episode "Betrayal", with my own little twist here and there. I would appreciate a review or two, however...))
PROLOGUE
To Sit in Solemn Silence
The man called Slade reviewed his files again. He watched the tactics the Teen Titans used to destroy his plans, and planned. Every aspect of those heroes' lives lay before his black and orange mask.
He had devoted his career to destroying those kids and, thus far, had been unsuccessful.
How?! He asked himself. How do those pubescent brats ruin everything? One would expect this much resistance from the JLA, but not these fools! So why do the Teen Titans prove so difficult?! It isn't like Batman's trained... He paused, realising he had smashed his monitor. His robot minions proceeded about him unabated.
Or did he? Batman trained Robin, Robin trains the others. Could that be it? Is Robin really the key? I have suspected so, hence my conversion attempt. And after the 'Red X' debacle... yes... I have it. This will be the last time we meet, Prodigy of the Dark Knight. Farewell. A robot stopped near him, took a cybercoded message, and continued on its way. Slade stood up and steepled his fingers. Time to get replacement parts.
Where did I put all that Mad Mod and Gizmo surveillance footage?
