Well guys, thanks for the review, and here is chapter two!
Meh, don't own them, will soon!
"Robin, it's been a awhile. Did you miss me? "
Robin did not say a thing; he just looked awestruck at the figure in front of him.
"What's the matter Robin, it seems as if you have seen a ghost. Surprised to see me? You shouldn't be, considering you haven't even met me before."
Robin had finally got him self out of the trance that he was in. "What do you mean I haven't met you before? You're Slade, the my worst enemy, the man who causes pain and suffering to others, the man I will bring down."
"Robin, Robin, you talk like you know me personally, but I assure you, you know NOTHING about me!"
Robin had heard enough. He jumped at "Slade" to attack, however he dodged it and retaliated with a kick to his stomach and an uppercut to Robin's face.
"I'll admit Slade, you have gotten better since we last met."
"You are as stupid as I thought, you still believe that I am Slade. When I say I am not Slade, then I am not Slade!" There was much anger showing in his voice now, and he made sure Robin knew about it. He approached Robin and gave him a swift kick to the stomach again, while he lay the ground.
"You are as thick headed and arrogant as I thought. He was right about you."
"What do you mean? Who is 'he'? Who are you?"
"In due time Robin, in due time." With that said, the figure that so resembled Slade tuned and fled.
The whole time Robin was there, he kept on thinking that Slade had returned, however there was something different about this person. In all the time they were here together, he had not seen the face of his attacker, so he cannot actually say whether or not it was definitely was he.
However, there was something in the way he moved, the way he fought and spoke that just told Robin that it was Slade.
Robin vowed to himself that he would bring down and figure out who this person was, just like he did with Slade.
"Yo! Rob. Where in the hell are you?" Cyborg called out to nothing.
It had been nearly an hour since they had last seen their leader when they first arrived at the scene, and they were starting to worry.
"Robin! I wish to know that you are safe!" Stafire called out at the only person in her life. If she were to lose him, then she wouldn't know what to do.
Then just as quickly as he had disappeared when they first arrived, he was back in the clearing, limping from the kick that were dealt to the young teen by the new, mystery Slade.
"Woah man, what in the world happened to you? We searched everywhere and found nothing, then you come back here covered in bruises and cut up? What exactly happened?" Beast Boy inquired. He was in shock that something happened to their leader in such a short amount of time, and such a brutal attack it was.
"Guys, what I have to tell you, you may not like. It may shock you a bit, so lets get to back to the tower before I tell you anything."
All the other Titan's nodded in agreement as they walked their way back to the tower. Robin was in Starfire's arms, as she carried her love back.
Before Robin could tell everyone what had happened, he had fallen asleep in the inframry bed that he knew all too well. For this was the same place he had been the many times before, when the real Slade had been around and messed with Robin's mind. He made Robin have such horrible dreams, one of which stuck in his mind. The one where his friends were dead, murdered, gone.
"I really wonder what had happened." Cyborg said. "This isn't like Robin, he usually tells us right away, there must be something really wrong."
"Yes, I must agree. Robin would never keep anything from us, we are his friends." Starfire added.
"Well, whatever it is, we will just have to wait. There is no use in making this harder on ourselves, because Robin isn't actually awake yet, so let's just be patient." Raven said with wisdom. She was resting her head on her new boyfriend's shoulder.
'They make such a good couple.' Cyborg thought.
Just then, the alarm that was hooked up to Robin's status alerted the other Titan's that their leader was waking up, and that they could finally go and see him about what had happened.
When the Titan's entered, Robin was already dressed and putting on his gloves.
"Man, don't you think that you aren't completely better just yet? I mean you just get the crap kicked out of you…again may I add." Beast Boy said, rather mockingly.
Robin just stopped and raised an eyebrow as if to say 'You got a problem?'.
Beast Boy saw this and just back up behind Raven for cover. She groaned and moved out of the way.
"I'm fine thank you." Robin said harshly. "Now we have a few important things to take care of." There was complete silence in the room, no one made a sound. All that Robin could hear was his heartbeat increasing. "Ok, well this isn't easy for me to say, but…Slade is back."
"What?"
"How is that possible? I mean you threw him into lava! Who lives through something like that?" Cyborg was now more serious than ever.
"I don't know, but he has done it before, which leaves no doubt in my mind that it could happen again. However, there is something that is telling me that it is not like Slade. When we were fighting he knocked me down and came up to me and said 'You are as thick headed as you are arrogant. He was right about you.' I am not sure who this "he" is, but I will find out. And something else, I never actually saw his face, so I cannot say if it was actually Slade, but he fought just like him. It was weird. Well, whoever it is, we have to catch him, before he does anything else."
The other Titan's stood there in awe, and just nodded, they knew what must be done.
