Well here's chapter five. I just got it from the author this morning, and I had nothing better to do, so I edited it and I'm posting it now. But first…it's shout out time!

Hekatie: Yes, I designed him 2 be cute, I thought Project Apprentice needed someone to talk 2 other than himself, hehe

The Wild Ambition: hehehe Yes, I agree he did need to be knocked down a peg, but lets not diss the Batman! I love him; he is the best superhero of all time! But yeah, I suppose he needs a little humbling as well...

DARTH VADER RULES: DARTH VADER TOTALLY ROX MY SOX! Right so, Project Apprentice being really "dumb" is just my way of putting a little humor into the story also his relationship with his robot is also just a little humor added in. I would tell you why he does some of the "dumb" things he does but it would ruin the ending for you...

Moonjava: Glad you like it. I'll write more.

Disclaimer: Teen Titans...nope...still don't own them.


Chapter 5
Revelations

"This is unbelievable," Cyborg, stated still stunned that he was able to access
Slade's files so easily. Before opening the files he had obtained he said, "Star, would
mind going and checking on Robin, he might want to see this."

With a slight nod of her head, Starfire swiftly made her way to the medical unit of
the Tower to see if Robin had awoken yet. As she stepped into the room, expecting to see
the worst, she was delighted to discover that Robin seemed to be fully healed and sitting
upright on the side of the bed.

"Robin!" she exclaimed with joy as she rushed to his side giving him a bone crushing hug.

"Its nice to see you too Star," Robin struggled to say through gasps for air.

"He's going to need to get some rest but I think he will be just fine." Raven stated obviously pleased with her work.

Releasing Robin, Starfire reported, "Cyborg wishes to see you at the central computer he has uncovered some information on our attacker, are you sure you can stand?"

"I'll be fine Starfire, let's go," Robin replied shrugging off any help they offered
and they made their way down to the central computer. "So what did you find?"

"Nice to see you up and about." Cyborg said upon seeing Robin enter the room, "I've found some files on this guy in Slade's own central computer, the security systems
were offline for some reason."

"Thats odd," Robin mused as he took his seat in front of the computer and opened
the files. They all gasped at what they saw. In these files marked, Project Apprentice, they discovered a mass of information on anatomy, medical files on surgery, funeral home records on athletes and other able bodied people who had passed away in various fashions and where they were buried, gruesome photos and diagrams on various body parts that were either used or unused and discarded in this project, and schematics of various graveyards in the city. All the files on Project Apprentice were exposed except for one file that was very heavily guarded. Before Robin could even begin to hack away at the lone file, the security systems abruptly came back online and Robin was forced to shutdown the computer to avoid mass damage to the Titan mainframe. Since the computer was the only source of light, the room became pitch black. They sat in darkness.

After a few minutes, flipping on a light, Cyborg was the first to speak, "Did I see
that right?"

"Wait a minute, so for the past few months Slade has been, been," Beast Boy
couldn't even say it.

"Grave robbing," Raven finished for him, "and using what he had stolen to create
and likeness of himself in order to take his place when need be."

Very confused Starfire asked, "How was Slade able to bring this Project
Apprentice to life?"

"That's what must have been in that one file we couldn't access," Cyborg replied.
Robin still had not said anything.

"You okay?" Beastboy asked.

"I suppose that was what was under that shroud," Robin finally said.

"What are you talking about?" Cyborg questioned not understanding the reference
he was making.

"When I was working for Slade, there was a room I was not allowed to go in, but
a door did not seal off the room, so I saw a table covered in a black shroud with a
human-like shape resting beneath it. That must have been Project Apprentice. He must
have abandoned work on it while he was forcing me to be his apprentice and when Terra, Ignis, and Aqua were his Apprentices as well." Robin explained getting up from his chair and walking over to the window. "That is most likely why he wants me dead, he was
forgotten and abandoned by Slade and he thinks it's my fault."

TTT

"And that would be just about enough." Project Apprentice stated turning the
security system back on forcing the Titans out. "See, they saw what they wanted to see,
and I shut them out before they were able to figure out where we are."

Slowly crawling out from under the table 2-NY-1489 replied, "I was just
concerned master."

"That will teach you not to question me," Project Apprentice said smugly
grabbing his cloak and putting it around his bony shoulders. "Why is it so cold?"

"Well we are living in a sewer master." 2-NY-1489 replied.

"Getting bold now, are we," said Project Apprentice deciding to that slide. He
can't go off belting it every time it made a remark he didn't care for. But the next time it
won't be so lucky.

"Um, master?" it said weakly.

"What is it 2-NY-1489?" he replied annoyed.

"Won't they figure out where we are anyway," it replied timidly.

"Why do you say that," Project Apprentice sneered, ready to belt the little robot.

"Well, you let them access the graveyard files and where they were and the
funeral home locations," it replied.

"So," Project Apprentice asked still not realizing his folly.

"Well, master, they can draw up a grid of the city pinpointing those locations
and know that we are in that area," the timid little robot explained hoping that it
wouldn't get torn apart for this.

Project Apprentice's eye grew wide. "DAMN IT ALL!" he yelled extremely
pissed off at his stupidity and that a robot that he created could see what he could not.
Realizing that it should get out of arm and staff shot of its creator and quick, 2-NY-1489
took off swiftly. Easily catching up with it, Project Apprentice grabbed the robot by the
head and stated frightenly calm, "Why didn't you tell me that?"

"I tried-" it replied cut off by it being hurled across the room at top speed.

Activating its hovercraft abilities, it managed to not be broken into many pieces and
flew out of the room hoping not to be followed. Deciding not to follow his creation he turned back into the room. "Well, it is right," Project Apprentice said annoyed, "I suppose our final battle will be sooner than I had anticipated, no matter, I will have Robin's head on a pike either way." Giving a psychotic chuckle he threw himself in front of one of the many computers and began happily taping away, preparing for the Titans arrival.


There ya go. Maybe this story should be sorted under horror, haha; it's not that bad. At least I don't think so...
