Aiden walked down the hall slowly, following Slade through the darkness. His eyes floated back to the door that was open slightly, two purple eyes watching him walk away with fear and wonder. Slade looked back at Aiden, his eye filling with a look of curiosity.
"Make this quick...I was sleeping.." Aiden grumbled.
There was no response from the masked man as they entered the infamous room with the huge screens. Aiden looked up at the video feed to see the Teen Titans as always. But they weren't fighting the villian infront of them. They were fighting each other...
"You think you're such a great leader, you can't save anyone- Not even yourself!" The dark telepath yelled at the boy wonder.
His masked eyes widened in shock, then narrowed in response. "Well, atleast I'm going to cause the end of the world!"
Slade chuckled lightly and looked at Aiden. "Looks like the team is having a little fight...How cute..."
The fight continued on. Insults thrown back and fourth turned into fighting. Robin being enveloped in black and slammed into a wall. Beast Boy getting hit by a birdrang, Starfire landing in the bay...Their leader had gone, dare they say, Insane?
"Robin! No!" Raven shouted.
A bright light went off and everyone went flying. The video feed blanked out, covering the room in the grey static. Aiden's eyes were wide, what had he just seen.
"You see Aiden...Everything comes to an end. Good or bad...I knew that boy was going to snap some time. He can't handle the pressure, it causes him to change...I know..." Slade's hand curled into a satified fist.
"But...How did that fight start? Are they...dead?" Aiden asked, he wasn't trusting his own mind to piece the story.
"They were out...Looking for Drusilla and had no lead, as usual. Robin was shouting about how he'd love to have my blood on his hands, such a very violent boy is under that mask...Raven told him he had stepped out of line and they began to fight." He thought for a second, not turning around to face Aiden. "I don't think they're dead...no...Just, alone..."

Raven groaned and put a hand to her head. She sat up slowly and pulled her hand back to find a trickle of blood lining her palm. Cursing, she stood and steadied herself against a pile of crates.
"Robin sure knows how to fake a fight well..." She muttered under her breath and pulled her cloak over her head to hide the crimson coming from her face.
Her violet eyes scanned the area, looking for a sign of anyone else, but finding none. Their plan had worked, they were all alone...but was it really for the better. Closing her eyes, she floated upward into the blackened sky, looking for a sign on anyone else to call this whole plan off.

Dark brown eyes set grimly upon him. He gasped and scooted backward away from the figure. It let out a low growl of frustration.
"I'm not here to hurt you...merely to...talk." Aiden said grimly.
Robin looked up at the boy, narrowing his masked eyes. "Who are you?"
Aiden held out a hand to help him up, and sighed. "I work for Slade...He's sent me here to talk to you...I assume you're alone?"
The boy wonder took his hand and steadied himself, eyeing the boy carefully. "Yeah...I've no idea if anyone else is alive..." He looked at the ground, pain filling is features.
'Please let him be acting...' Aiden thought, the worry tugging at his eyes. Shaking the thought of Drusilla's family being dead, he continued.
"You went insane momentarily, yes?"
Robin gritted his teeth and glared at Aiden. "Look. I don't know who you are, but I am not insane. Just tell Slade he can rest in peace now that the team is done for..."
Aiden put on a sly smirk. "You see Robin, Slade won't rest in peace until he has one thing..."
"And what's that? World Domination?" Robin spat out, glaring.
"You." He said and gave Robin a sharp elbow to his temple.
The pain in Robin's head was taking over. He groaned and fell to the floor, his eyes seeing stars momentarily. He felt another firm punch to his head and then a sharp pain in his shoulder, a syringe. He let the darkness eat at his vision and saw Aiden's figure glaring above.

"Very, Very good..." Slade said slowly.
Aiden watched as Slade walked over to the bound boy wonder, his eye narrowing with power and desire. Slade flicked his wrist in Aiden's direction as an order to be gone. Gladly, Aiden left the room and slipped back into his own a deep sigh escaping him.
Drusilla sat on his bed, glaring. "How could you?"
He gasped, surprised by Drusilla's sudden appearence. "What...What I do?"
She let out a dry, sarchastic laugh. "You know very damn well what you did. Now that man is going to have to suffer like we do every day..."
Aiden flinched, he had hoped she would not of known of his deed. "I...I'm sorry..."
"I'm not the one you should be appologizing to. Aiden, we're supposed to be escaping from here, not staying as Slade's lackeys! Why the hell did you do that for him anyways? Have you turned evil?" Her voice was rising with anger and hurt.
The boy's eyes darkened and he turned back towards the door. "I have my reasons and for the record I will never be evil..."
"That's not what you've just proved to me. You've proved that you have no regard for other's lives. Slade is going to kill him, I know it and his blood will be on your hands." She clenched her teeth in anger.
Aiden turned around sharply, the fury rushing through him. "What the hell does it matter to you what happens to that boy anyways? Not like he was your father or anything."
She let out an aggitated sigh through her nose and brushed past him, her palm grabbing the door knob. "No. But he was a friend of both my father and my mother. He stands for what I'm supposed to be. You really ought to learn to think of someone besides yourself.." She walked out of the room, the door slamming coldly behind her.
Aiden closed his eyes and growled, his fist slamming into the door a few seconds after it shut. The pain jolted through his knuckles and the door gave a defining crack. He ground his teeth together and looked down at the floor, his sweat landing to the ground in silver drops.
"I've got to tell her..." He mumbled, ripping his hand from the wood.

"Robin. Come In. Robin?" Starfire called into her communicator.
"God, where could he be?" Cyborg asked looking worried.
Beast Boy was having his leg healed by Raven when he said, "Perhaps...Slade's made his choice..."
