Rating: M

A/N hi...many people have been very surprised by Slade's :ahem: gayness...I dont know about you but i think Slade is too much obssessed with our Robin and that only leaves room for interpretation...this chapter is not really to my liking, but it sort of puts a little background history on Slade and Bruce Wayne and Why robin decided to be Robin...as i asked before, if you dont like the chapter i can always take it off and try to fix it or get a new one...I think that this might be a good explanitory type of thing. also...thank you all thank you so much...i wish this pair was really paired up it would be great...ah if you guys are into the old comics here is a little info...

Robin and Starfire are supposed to get married in the old comic and Raven is jealous that she plants some sort of seed inside Starfire. Raven had the biggest crush on Robin in the comic and i think that if the creators would take a moment of reflection they might realize that these two make a great couple..but i can only dream.

Ja ne minna-san.

Stargazing was never fun when done alone. But when you had someone you cared about with you that was different. Robin was glad that he had that someone next to him. Earlier they had placed Zoe in her bed as she had fallen asleep in his arms. The role of father was becoming something serious that he wished came true. Taking a deep breath he broke the silence between them and suggested they go inside for some snacks and sit by the fireplace.

Raven placed a thick quilt on the floor as Robin brought them some snacks. She knew he wanted to talk, she knew that he was going to tell her the truth that he has been keeping from her. She smiled as he entered the livingroom and placed the snacks on the quilt and then pulled her down on top of him taking possession of her lips. He released her though "I'm willing to talk"

"I figured as much. I'm all ears" they sat down facing each other "I will listen"

"I know. I just hope you understand my reasons"

"If they are within reason I'm sure I will understand"

He took in a deep breath "I'm not a single child, I'm actually an older brother. My sister's name is Daisy and she is seven. My mother is the most beautiful woman I know, well besides you" he smirked "my father on the other hand is an asshole. All my life I've been told what to do, he has always wanted for me to be the best of the best"

Flashback...

Ten year old Richard Wayne played on the soccer team of his school. His team was losing and this was one of the few game in which his father had attended "Come on Richie Rich" Richard growled. He had never liked that nick name. Just because his father was a very wealthy man didn't mean that he automatically was a spoiled brat.

They were ten to four and the chances of catching up were low. So in the second half Bruce made it his business to take his son out of the locker rooms and have a special chat with him "you are not a loser Richard. Either get your game on or I will make sure that you understand what it means to be a loser"

Richard bow his head "dad, those kids are bigger"

"it's not about size Richard. Use that brain of yours. Prove that you are a smart kid, win the game" with that his father left and Richard's self-steem lowered.

When he arrived home after they had lost the game Bruce told him what a disappointment he was, told him how a girl could play better than him and then told him how he wished his son wasn't such a prissy bitch. Diana yelled at Bruce for doing that to his son.

"You can't just tell him those things Bruce"

"This is your doing for babying him so much Diana. You are turning him into a girl" she slapped him hard and Richard flinched. All this time the young boy kept thinking that every time his parents fought it was all his fault.

Bruce glared at his wife "Fine. Turn him into the sissy that I know he is. As far as I know I have a daughter not a son" with that his father left and Richard ran to his room.

End of Flash...

"That was one of the many times my father put me down. It wasn't uncommon for that to happen"

Raven was hurting for him. How can a father do and say such things "that must have been hard"

Robin smirked "well I showed him. That was one of the reasons why I became the male whore in my high school" her eyes widened "oh yes. I took out my frustration on women. I slept with as many girls as I could, it wasn't strange. I enjoyed the sex. Of course they all slept with me because I was the son of Bruce Wayne"

"Bruce Wayne? You mean you..."

He nodded "that was why I didn't want to interview him when you went. Bruce wayne is my father, and I have been living out of my parent's house and shadow for almost three years now"

"But if you had told me I would have understood. How could you just have kept quiet about it?"

Robin rubbed his temple "I wanted to make a new life for myself. I wanted to be my own person. Not a shadow of my father. He never saw me as his son, I don't think he ever cared. So I took on an alias had a friend in city hall help me with the paper work and Robin Richardson was born"

"And you work for me? Being the son of one of the wealthiest men in Gotham and you work for me?"

He took her hand "I'm glad I do. You met the real me sort of speak. Through this alias I have been able to be the man that I truly am. As Richard Wayne I was expected to act a certain way, to respond a certain way. I hated it all. That's why I kept away from the media most of my life"

"Richard" she said. Sounding out his name and he rather liked it, but Robin was much better "what else have you kept from me?"

"I haven't kept this from you raven or done so intentionally. I have been Robin Richardson for three years and it has become a part of me. I don't regret doing what I did, but you have a right to know the truth. It is up to you, what you will do with this truth now"

She looked him in the eyes "what do you expect me to do? It's not a crime for someone to try and make a new life for themselves, Robin I mean Richard but it will take time to... I don't even know what to say...whoa" he chuckled and moved closer to her.

"I just thought that if I want you to trust me fully that I should be honest with you" he whispered as his fingers caressed her lips "that if you knew this about me that you would understand that my intentions are not to toy with you at all, but to be with you and have you fully to myself"

She blushed and moved closer "selfish aren't we? You forget that I will be shared by you and a very hyper four year old"

"I can deal with that. But I should tell you the rest then"

"Slade?"

His eyes narrowed at the mention of that name "yes. How I met him and why he tried to do what he did. You see when I first left my home I didn't have anywhere to go, my friend offered me his home, but I refused. I'm very prideful and stubborn. So I decided to come live here in my summer home..." just thinking about that disgusting man made him sick.

"What happened?"

"He taught me everything there was to know about wines, it was a good job with a good pay. What was there to complaint about? Oh I know"

Raven hit him "will you just tell me how he tried to rape you?"

"About three months into the job Slade began to treat me differently. He would be everywhere I was or he would call me his 'apprentice' when people where around. It got really weird for me. Then he would ask me to stay after hours and do the accounting for the next shipment. I didn't think too much of it at first, but then he would stay after hours as well. I caught him staring at me once and thought I was doing something wrong. He just smiled at me and that crept the shit out of me"

He took a deeper breath "it got the point where I asked a few peers to stay behind with me and help me finish just so I didn't have to be alone with the boss. But that soon got overused when my so called peers decided not to help me. I wondered why, but no one said a word. One night I was doing the accounting papers when I felt someone behind me, I turned around and there was Slade looking over my shoulder"

Flash...

Robin stood back a little "can I help you with anything Mr. Slade?" Salde smirked and walked over to Robin's desk.

"I see you are almost done here. Why don't you leave it for tomorrow and lets go have some drinks"

"I don't think so sir. I'll just finish these accounts and then I'll head home to sleep" but he would not have none of that.

"Robin, Robin, Robin, you are just a young man. You need to live a little, perhaps take your girlfriend out"

Robin turned back to the papers on his desk "I don't have a girlfriend and I do live a little"

"Oh, no girlfriend? That's great" Robin dropped his pen and turned back to his boss who was looking at him rather intensely. Was he checking out my ass? This is too creepy. I must be seeing things from being so tired.

Robin shrugged and returned to working on the papers when he felt arms around him. His body stiffened and his eyes widened. Slade's breath was near his ear "it's great to know that you are not with someone" Slade's hand then lowered to where he cupped Robin's front, gripping the member in his hand.

Robin pushed him off "what the fuck? What the hell are you doing?" Slade advanced Robin "are you fucking sick?"

"Robin, my dear robin I know you've noticed. Almost everyone here has. It's no secret that I want you" Robin took his suit jacket.

"This is sick and I'm out of here" he was about to walk away when Slade grabbed his arm shoving him into a desk.

"Not so fast my apprentice. I say when you leave" he lowered his body. Robin kicked Slade's leg from under him. Robin kicked Slade on his side.

"You fucking sick bastard" he kicked one last time and turned around "sick bitch" with that Robin walked away from slade only to find himself falling face first. Slade took hold of Robin's left leg and pulled him to him. Robin's face ached and his eyes were blurry. That fall was hard.

Slade punched Robin repeatedly and Robin screamed in pain "I told you, you go when I say so"

Robin tried to block the punches and kicked his legs wildly "fuck...stop it you bastard" slade then groped the disoriented young man "st...stoppp" Robin was able to kick Slade harder and the older man fell on top of him. The young man shoved Slade away from him and struggled to get up "arrr" his face was aflame with pain and felt like just dropping to the floor and never getting up.

The door to the office opened and a janitor came in "is there a prob..." he noticed Robin's bleeding and bruised face and rushed to him and the noticed his boss getting up "Mr. Slade, Mr. Richardson what's"

Robin placed a hand on the man "hospital...please" the janitor nodded, Richardson was always a good young boy and reminded him of his son "sir..."

"I understand young man. Lets go" Slade only smiled.

End of Flash...

Robin put a hand to his face "I didn't report him because it would have been shameful and my father would have known. I didn't even go back to get my things. I left New Hampshire and decided to crash with my friend victor thinking that it would be for a few days. But I didn't keep a job for more than two months. I felt like every man that was my boss was up to something"

Raven felt the pain in her chest. What a sick bastard. Things had not been easy for him and again that bastard showed himself "you should have reported him robin, if he tried to do that to you imagine that maybe he did it to another guy. That man is too creepy"

"Can we not talk about this anymore"

She dropped her head in shame. It was hard on him talking about it and she could not even imagine what he must be going through seeing the images "I'm sorry robin. I'll be upstairs" Raven stood up and picked the tray with her. Maybe a few minutes alone would ease him.

Robin laid down on the quilt thinking about everything that had happened to him. It was too much and sharing with someone was a very exhausting ordeal. He had told her things that even Victor had no clue about.

Slade...that bastard was still...no, there was no need to worry about slade. With one push he was on his feet and towards his raven.

He entered the room and she was sitting on the bed with a small smile "feeling better now?" he nodded and climbed on the bed "I'm really sorry about making you remember all of that"

"It was time I talked about it a bit...could we just sleep I'm tired" raven complied with his request and just snuggled into him letting sleep claim their tired bodies.

Around two in the morning both were awaken by the breaking of glass and Zoe's scream. Robin jumped off the bed with Raven running behind him, both entered Zoe's room and found the little girl screaming "what happened?" zoe just whimpered.

Robin looked around the room and everything was fine "must be downstairs. Stay up here and close the door" raven nodded and he ran down looking for anything or anyone that got inside the house.

The kitchen was clear and so were the rooms upstairs, only the livingroom and the front porch were left to be inspected. Raven was not one to be frightened easily so she had put her daughter in the bathroom and told her to keep the door closed while she came down. She went into the livingroom and found Robin looking at broken glass "what happened?"

Robin turned around showing her a brick while placing a paper behind his back "must have been kids" she rose her eyebrows in a I don't believe you kind of matter and he knew it "okay fine it wasn't kids"

She tapped her foot "hiding things again are we?"

"I just didn't want to worry you, but I think it's best if we left tonight"

"What is it?" he walked up to her and showed her the note, taking it she unfolded it and read "Robin my great apprentice I shall be looking forward to seeing you soon. Tell your little bird that I don't like to share what's mine. See you soon" Raven shredded the paper "that bastard"

Robin didn't say a word and quickly ran up the stairs taking their things. Raven took the luggage from him "where's Zoe?"

"In the bathroom" he ran to the bathroom and opened it revealing the little girl sleeping on the floor. He picked her up.

"Daddy" she mumbled in her sleep and robin hugged him to his body.

"Ssh, it's okay daddy got you"

And just like that all three of them left.

A shadow loomed long after the little family left and nimble fingers dialed "Slade they have left"

"Good job Jinx. Follow them and tell me where they head to. I'll be rewarding you greatly"

"Understood".

The sun was just peeking when they arrived at her house. Raven kept thinking about that note and was worried that this Slade character would harm Robin or her in any way. Not to mention that she was worried for her child's safety. Robin too was worried and he knew that Raven was somehow scared for his safety. Only he hoped that Slade would not do something to harm the tow most important people in his life.
