Slade's Children

By: ANTT

A/N: I have to indicate that this story id one of the favorite one's of the stories that I've wrote. I love them all, but this is one of my faves. I think I have an idea of what pairings that I'm gonna put in the story. I will withdraw from some pairings because they may ruin the story…

BB/maybe a OC

Cyborg/possible OC

Raven/might be a bit obvious

Starfire/maybe Speedy- I'm not sure

Aqualad/Joi

I'm the OC Queen, okay? I could have OCs running this story, okay…but I do understand that too many OCs can indeed ruin a story, so…I'll try to control my self.

Chapter Two: The Truth About Slade

He stopped circling Raven and looked into her eyes. For a good while he just stood there, and Raven didn't do anything. Raven couldn't move, no matter how much she wanted to.

Finally, Dijon made his move…he kissed Raven. For a good while, Raven struggled, but soon enough she relaxed…and that's when disaster hit. Two main pillars that were holding up the building, exploded and the building began to tumble.

Sam quick gathered up her brothers and teleported them, and herself, somewhere else, leaving the Titans to get out on their own. But then Sam appeared again, only this time she started to take titans. Two at a time, she would take them to the T-Tower. And when she was done, she fell on the Titans' living room floor…exhausted…and eventually asleep…

5 hours had passed since Sam had saved the Titans, the Titans East and gone back to their home and the rest of the titans had relocated Sam to the couch.

"What should we do with her?" Cyborg asked Robin. It was 9:00 in the morning Cyborg had gotten up to get a bite to eat, and he was going to head back to his room when he noticed Robin up.

"Well…she saved our lives so the least we could do is let her sleep here until she wakes-up." Robin said.

"Alright. I see you're keeping a good eye on her." Cyborg said smirking.

"Yeah, I was asleep earlier but then I woke up so I thought I'd check up on her."

Cyborg's smirk got bigger. "What!" Robin asked, noticing Cyborg's sudden facial look.

"Nothing." Cyborg said. Standing up straight, still smirking. "Robin, did you ever think that you might not be here for that particular reason?"

"No, and why would I?"

"No reason. Just a teenage girl with dark brown hair, pale-ish colored skin with a slender body and…"

"Stop. Stop right there, Cyborg. I know where you are going. And I don't like it, so stop."

"Alright, man. But you can't deny the truth because the truth does find its way to the surface." And with that Cyborg was gone.

Robin began to consider what Cyborg had said. '…is it true…did I really just come out here because I wanted to see Sam…of course you didn't, you don't even know this girl…she just came in to your life. You couldn't possible have feelings for a girl you've only known for a few hours, most of which she spent asleep…"

But when he was about to totally clear his mind of all thoughts of what Cyborg said; the girl on the couch began to stir. "…w-where…oh my… I never left this place? I thought for sure that I would have gone back…I…"

"You fell out after you brought me here."

Sam looked in his direction. "R-Robin…" she questioned.

"That's m'name."

"…I…I guess I owe you guys for you guys keeping me alive…"

"What? You saved our lives! We owe you!"

Sam smirked. "You do, don't you."

"Oh-no."

"Oh-yes."

"What do I have to do?"

"Well, for starters, I wanna go to the mall. I have a few things I need to pick up."

At The Mall

They had only been there for 5 minutes and already Sam wanted to go. "Okay, we can leave now!"

"But we've only been here for like 10 minutes. You wanna leave already?"

"That comes as such a shock to you? A lot of girls don't like to shop…okay so most of the women population would rather shop than anything, but…not me!"

Robin just looked at her then at the bag he was holding for her. He sighed, it was absolutely true. She didn't like to shop. She only had an Avril Lavigne CD and a few composition books.

"Let's go." She said, pulling at him.

"Can we just get something to eat before we leave?"

"…Okay, I guess we could." She said stopping the pushing, and walking in the direction of the food court.

"What should we eat?" he asked.

"I'm quite fond of Indian." She responded.

"Okay then, we'll get Indian."

"Don't you think it's strange that just yesterday I was beating you up, and now we're goin' out?" Sam asked walking up to the Indian boof.

"We are not going out. Okay? Let's just get that straight." He said, when Sam ordered their food.

"Suuuurrrre." She sang sarcastically. "Don't forget to put the naan bread in there." she told the guy at the counter.

"Look I don't want the other titans knowing about this okay?"

"So this is a date…"

"No! I just have some questions to ask you." He said uncomfortable.

"Look, man, you don't have to stand here and talk if your uncomfortable. I'll bring ya fool to ya." The man at the counter told Robin.

"Oh, okay, thanks" Robin said. "Devoted fan?" he asked.

"No. Sam's a regular."

"He's also my boyfriend." She said.

Robin stepped back. "For real?"

"No. But we were going out." She said looking at the guy. "Weren't we, Shavon?"

"Yeah." He said.

"Are you really Indian?"

"My mom is. I got my good looks from her." Robin looked at the two. They looked like a good couple. She had olive skin, he had olive skin, (Her's was a little darker), she had silver eyes, and he had brown, he had – a-hem – built body, and she had a – er – slender body. 'I wonder why they broke up?' he thought.

"Okay well. Let's go." Sam said dragging Robin to an empty, two-seated, table. "So what you wanna ask me?"

"Uh, w-why did you two break up?"

"We didn't really break up. We just…I dunno." She said looking at the table.

Robin stared at her blankly. 'Anyway..' "Why exactly do you go along with what your father tells you to? You do understand that you will go to jail if your caught?"

"Oh come on! Every villain knows that! If they don't then they must live under a rock…but even that wouldn't be a good excuse."

"So just tell me, why do you go on with your father plans?" he asked.

"Because." She started. "He's my father. And I wanna please him."

"But you're committing crimes!"

"Sean, Dijon and I know that! But we want to please Daddy, and if fighting you guys is gonna please him…then we're more than welcome to do it."

"But why? Why do you want to please him so badly?"

Sam paused. She closed her eyes, and exhaled. What she was about to tell Robin she had never told any one in her life. "When we were younger, like 11 and 12, Sean and Dijon were playing. This was before Daddy started training us. And for some reason, I for get why, a fight broke out; maybe one of them tried to cheat and the other was trying to defend them selves, I don't know. But what I do know is that, I tried to stop them, but only got into the fight myself." A tear fell from Sam's eye.

"You don't have to continue if you don't want to." Robin said trying to comfort her.

"No, no." she said wiping the tear away. "I started I'm gonna finish. Plus you'd be wondering your little head off what happened if I didn't tell you." She tried to laugh it off, but Robin could sense that she was still hurting. How could she laugh at something that was obviously very emotional for her?

"Well, my mother, tried to break up the fight. And as you have witnessed, we are quite the mean fighters, even before our training. Eventually, she stopped the fight. But we were so mad at her. We ganged up on her and beat her to death. At first we didn't realize it. We first noticed that she was dead when Daddy came home and noticed laying her in the front yard. He called to us" –another tear fell- "I could never forget the look on his face. It was full of sorrow, and sadness. That was the last time I ever saw Daddy cry. Like that at least, he's cried many times because pain, but this was a selfless cry. I know that you could never even imagine 'Slade' ever crying selflessly. But you see this was before 'Slade' was born; he came a few months after this. So you see we are forever indebt to my Father. For we took away his love…his reason for living…"

"So you're trying to say that if you guys had just had a little self-control there probably wouldn't be any Slade?"

"Most likely. I mean after Mom was killed everything else just fell apart. Daddy lost his job, because of this he no longer could pay for the house, so we were put out. Dijon' s parents started to ignore him ever more. Father soon killed them, and took Dijon in. And that's when the training began."

"I…I never knew that…that Slade had a past." Robin said looking at his hands. "I mean I knew he had a past, he didn't just jump outta the air. But…you know, when you know a guy like that, from the perspective that I do…you tend to…to…to judge…I mean I don't mean it…I…"

"You don't have to explain it." Sam said looking away from him. "Well…I have to go, okay? Whether you wanna tell the other Titans is up to you. But…I have to go come up with a lie to tell my father." She giggles while getting up, then kissed his cheek and left. "Thanks for the stuff."

Robin sighed. All this time…he had wondered why Slade had chose to be an evil villain…and one of the reasons was just walking away from him.

"Hey, uh, Robin, you still want this food?" Shavon asked.

Back at Titan-Tower

Robin walks in and flops on the couch. "Hey, friend Robin, are you alright?"

"Yeah, Starfire, I'm fine."

"Good. Do you mind if we…talk…"

Robin sat up. "Of course not Starfire. What you want to talk about?"

"Well,"-she sat down-"Robin I know I might hurt you for saying this but…I think I like Speedy more than you." Robin just stared at her.

"But, Star…I thought that you…"

"Yeah I know. I thought so too. I thought that being with you would 'crush my crush' on Speedy. But just recently I found out that…he feels the same way about me…so…I…"

"I understand…Don't worry Starfire…your decision is…is fine with me." Robin tried to smile, but couldn't bring himself to do it.

"Oh, really! Thank you, Robin! I knew you would understand!" she throws him a big hug, then runs to her room to call Speedy.

Cyborg snickered. "Don't start!" Robin shouted to him, falling back on the couch.

At Slade's House/Hideout (what ever you want to call it)

"Where have you been?" Slade asked his daughter when she walked in. "We had a training session last night and you missed it."

"Dad, don't sweat it…"

"Since when have I ever 'sweat'?"

"I was…with Shavon."

"Mmm…okay. But next time…don't go to Shavon, Come here."

"Right." She said and walked to her room.

"Where ya been sis?" Sean asked.

"Ya, we missed you last night." Dijon said eating 'Wheatables' straight outta the box

"Gimme those!" she snatched the 'Wheatables' out of him hand. "What did I tell you guys about eating my food?"

"Don' t try to get off the subject, sis." Sean commanded.

"What you gon do about it?" she said stepping up to him. He stepped up to her. Dijon tried to pull him back.

"Don' t start you two. We need to save our energy for the Titans. Dad, wants to do some more damage tonight."

"Right." They both said sitting down.

Back At Titan-Tower

"So, Robin where ya been?" Cyborg asked sitting next to Robin, Robin now sitting up.

"Where is everybody?" Robin asked ignoring his question.

"Well, its 11:07, so Starfire is talking to Speedy, Beast Boy is still sleeping, and Raven is probably meditating and won't be out her room till 1:48." Cyborg said, then looking up from his clock and at Robin. "Now, answer my question; 'Where have you been?'"

"With Sam. I had to take her to the mall, to repay her for saving our lives." Robin said plainly.

"And…what did you do there?"

"I bought her a CD, books and we talked. That's it!" Robin said getting angry.

"Okay, okay, Man! No need to get all touchy! What did you guys talk about?"

"Um, uh, nothing important."

"Then why are you sweating uncontrollably?" Cyborg asked.

Caught! 'Maybe it would be alright to tell Cyborg. He knew the other Titans weren't ready to know yet, but maybe Cyborg was…'

"Okay, she told me why she and her brothers go with their father's plans."

"And why is that?" Cyborg asked just as curious as Robin was when he asked that question.

"They killed their mother, Slade's wife. And so they're paying back their debt by obeying him."

"Serious?"

"Serious."

At Titans-East

"Starry! What did he say?----He what!----Very Acceptant?----I don't think he took it well, Star.----Well, because…----he was just being polite----I know…I know…-----don't feel bad, Star----but you had to tell him sooner or later, better sooner than later, I always say----HaHa…" Speedy said responding to Starfire.

"It's disgusting." Aqualad said about Speedy and Starfire's relationship. He and Bee were sitting on the couch while Speedy was in the kitchen talking with Starfire.

"I know." Bee said in return. "And it started behind Robin's back."

"It'll never work out." (Aqualad)

"Yeah." (Bee)

"Robin and Starfire were made for each other." Aqualad said meaning it whole heartedly. "We have to find a way to break them up."

"But you just said that it'll never work out!"

"…yeah…"

"If it goes too far, then we'll break it up. Deal." Bee asked putting her hand out for Aqualad to shake.

"Deal." He shook it.

Back at Slade's hideout, In the Sam's room

"So, Dijon, did you really look into Raven?" Sean asked while throwing a football to Dijon.

He caught it. "Well, yeah. I found out some pretty neat stuff about her too." He threw the ball to Sam.

"Oh, really? Like what?" she asked catching the ball and throwing to Sean.

"Like…did you know that when she had a crush on Beast Baby, she went through 34 lamps? Yeah, every time her powers slipped, she made the same lamp break." He said then catching he ball when Sean threw it to him.

"Well, I'm sure she's broke, those kinds of lamps aren't cheap." Sam said, motioning for them to count her out of their little game of catch.

"Well, actually she didn't really buy another lamp…she just kept on repairing it." Dijon said, holding on to the ball.

"Really? I gotta get her to teach me how to do that!" Sam said, lying down on her bed.

"How are you gonna do that? She's the enemy." Sean said.

Sam realized what she said. "Um…uh…well, you guys know what I mean! Force her to do it!"

"Oh." Dijon said, throwing the ball to Sean.

Back at Titan Tower

Raven had been meditating since dawn, and she was getting pretty hungry. "Maybe one short break wouldn't hurt…" she said to her self, setting her feet on the ground, and walking out to the kitchen. On her way she over head Cyborg and Robin talking. Of course the only thing that she heard was:

"Serious?"

"Serious."

So curiosity took over her and she asked. "What's so serious?"

"Uh…nothing…we were just talking about this new video game that I wanted to buy but couldn't. It was sweet!" Robin said.

"Okay…" Usually Raven wasn't gullible, but Robin put on such a good act, and Cyborg didn't have many facial features to express so…it made it more believable, plus, what did she know about video games or what ever?

"So, Raven, what happened last night?" Cyborg asked.

"I don't want to talk about it." She said.

"You sure? Because I think that Dijon guy might like you…"

"No he doesn't. He just used me as an escape! That's all I'm good for anyway!" Raven shouted then running to her room. There laid her beautiful lamp on the ground in pieces. "I need to get this thing insured." She sighed and started to put the lamp back together.

Back in the Living Room

"What just happed there?" Cyborg asked turning to Robin.

"You just reopened a door. Don't worry, it'll be alright. She'll close it soon." Robin said speaking completely in metaphors.

"Okay."

(Almost to page 9, page 8 now)

"You know what? I'm gonna go check out some cool sites you wanna come?" Cyborg asked.

"Might as well. I don't have anything else to do." So then they left for Cyborg's room.

In Cyborg's Room

Since we are all aware of the fact that Cyborg is half machine, we will understand his need to be surrounded by other things high tech and contemporary. So his room is…well…not really cold, although most of the machinery gives off that feeling. But the other modern touches, like the softly shaped chairs, the sweet furniture, and even the modern hard ware, give off a soft vibe, so the room is balanced; and altogether the room looks futuristic, like in a Sci-Fi.

"Pull up a chair, there's one over there. "He said pointing to the opposite side of the room. "Just let me plug up then I'll log on." He then plugged a cord in to his arm, to charge him self, then he started up the computer and logged on.

"Well, were do you want to go?"

"Check out our website. I wanna see what people think of the new bad guys." Robin said.

"Ok." Cyborg then brought up their website – ttitans. (not a real site, I just made it up) – and looked at 'Slade's children'. (Cyborg had updated last night, explaining what happened during the battle and giving each of Slade's children a little venue, where people could say their comments about the villain.

There were 14 reviews. "Whoa." Was all they could say. There were 2 for Sean, 6 for Sam, and 6 for Dijon. They decided to start with the oldest and work their way to the latest.

The first one was for Sam:

She sounds hot! You think you guys could set up a date for me and her? –DJ

"How about no?" Robin responded. Then they went to the next one.

This one was for Sam also:

Sam sound evil…did she hurt you Robin? Are you alright? it sounds like you put up a good fight after wards but, still…-Chloe

"I'm alright, thanks for caring." Robin responded.

Then next one was for Dijon:

How could he just use Raven like that! How evil can he be! Still…I can't help but hope that he'll join the titans and fall completely for Raven. Would you guys accept him? – A hot black woman

"We'll see." Cyborg responded.

Then next was Sean:

Who was he fighting in the battle?- Chloe

"It was either Bee or Aqualad. Or both." Cyborg responded.

The next was for Dijon:

It's sad the world has to be like that…if only his parents were different… maybe… maybe he wouldn't be there…maybe…- Chloe

"You like reviewing don't you?" Cyborg responded/asked.

Then the alarm went off. It was H.I.V.E. messing around at the bank. "Lets go." Robin said to the titans, now all in the living room. And they left.

A/N: Here is the end. I'm gonna proofread it, then when I'm done I'll post it as I can, okay, okay.
