Chapter 2
Hidden Secrets
Someone removed the blindfold that was covering Starfire's eyes. She blinked a numerous amount of times before seeing that there was only one person in the room with her. "Starfire, your probably wondering why I brought you here?" A man asked with a slow familiar voice, "Slade?" Starfire asked. The man did not answer her so Starfire asked again, "Excuse me, are you Slade?" The man smiled, "It took you long enough." "What do you want?" Starfire asked him, "You'll find out for yourself when Robin turns up." Slade told her. Starfire was suddenly very frightened, he was going to use her as bait to lure Robin to him. What did he want with Robin? Last time he wanted Robin as his apprentice but what did he want now? "What do you want with Robin?" Starfire asked, "As a matter a fact I would like to teach Robin a lesson." He answered her, "A lesson? I don't understand." Starfire said, "Since he ran away like a coward when he was to become my apprentice I am going to make him pay." Starfire squirmed in her seat trying to get free from the ropes she was tangled in. Usually she would be able to get free but Slade knew her powers too well and used some sort of enhanced rope. What was she going to do? They Titans would come here to rescue her but they would fall right into a trap. It would be all her fault! She would lead them here and there was nothing she could do about it!
Robin checked his communicator, they were going in the right direction. In about five minutes they would find Starfire. "Hurry! Were nearly there!" He shouted to the rest of the team. "Wait Robin!" Raven said, "We can't just rush in there, we have to think of some sort of plan." Robin shook his head, "I'm not going to take my time making up some sort of plan! Starfire's in trouble and she needs our help!" Robin yelled. "I think this is it." Beast Boy said as they closed in on a door. Beast Boy slowly turned the cold handle and opened the door. "It's a trap!" A familiar voice yelled. Robin quickly ran to where Starfire was sitting. He was just about to untie her ropes when Cyborg quickly called out to him, "Uh, I think you better turn around." Robin spun around to find Slade right behind him. "Teen Titans! Go!" Robin yelled, but it was too late. At the push of a button about fifty guys came out surrounding Beast Boy, Raven and Cyborg. "Take care of them! I'll take care of Slade!" Robin yelled. "Robin, Robin, Robin, what am I going to do with you?" Slade said as he circled Robin, "I think you need to be taught a lesson." Slade said, "Your not my father." Robin told him, "Thats where your wrong." Slade said. Robin froze, what was he saying. "Your probably wondering where your violent side came from?" Slade told Robin smiling. Robin stood there realising how much alike he and Slade were. "You can't be?" Robin said, "My father died before I was born." "Or so that was what your mother kept telling you." Slade told him. Starfire squirmed in her seat, "Robin! Do not listen to him!" Robin looked at her, he did not know what to think. Was his mother lying to him all this time? "Now Robin, I gave you a chance to join forces with me and now I'm giving you another chance." Robin didn't need to think about this one, "Never." "Well, I guess I'm going to have to kill you." Slade said as he threw a punch at Robin. "Robin!" Starfire yelled as tears stained her face like red wine on white carpet.
