"Titans GO!" Robin shouted. The whole team went into their battle stance but Slade put his hand up.
"No need to waste his energy you'll need it for later, you see Robin, I have come with a proposition for you" He said his unmasked eye staring straight at him. He flinched when he remembered the last time Slade had a 'Proposition' for him.
"I need you to train one of my new recruits you new partner more like" Slade went on "Either that or I kill one of your dearest friends" He continued. Robin froze
"Starfire?" He asked, being caught off guard for the first time.
"You catch onto things quickly" Slade smiled ruefully
"No you can't…" Robin trailed of wordlessly; unlike his other times he had nothing to threaten him with, but in the end when it came down to Starfire… Slade must have read his thoughts because the next thing he said was not a coincidence
"Say Yes Robin it's your only option" Robin searched frantically for a way out of this mess without getting either of them hurt. When he found none he trailed forward and hanged his head
"Yes" He said, the other titans watched dumbfounded as Slade dragged Robin out of the room but when they saw Robin nodded his head at Cyborg they knew he had a plan.
"SLADE!" "I don't need a mentor; I can control my powers perfectly well!" Starfire screamed while the walls began shaking. Slade had recently found out that Starfire had these hidden and more powerful powers, he was really interested in what she could do, but the downside was, since he had took her memory away, she couldn't control her powers.
Slade dragged Robin into his layer only to find half the guards running away from Starfire's room. One of the guards went up to him and mumbled
"I-I t-tried t-to g-giv-ve her f-food but t-he plate w-went fl-flying all over the r-room and everything e-else in t-the r-room started f-forming a shield a-around h-h-h-her" The man stumbled away and Slade once again focused all his attention to Robin
"I'm sure you're quite eager to find out who you are tutoring" Slade smiled. Robin grumbled in response.
"STARFIRE COME DOWN HERE" Slade shouted. Robin's head shot up, no this can't be, and Starfire would never join Slade, would she? There was some loud crashing and Starfire finally come downstairs. Robin suddenly had a hard time breathing, this was Starfire but she didn't look this…this sexy was the right word. Sure he had thought she was cute but sexy never went in his mind. She was wearing what Blackfire used to wear (Ya know in 'sisters') but with a little Slade patch on her chest. Starfire took one look at Robin and felt an instant sense of…familiarity. She knew him from somewhere but couldn't remember where. Oh well she'd have to ask him later, she scoffed if he was still there later. The last ten 'mentors' she had either ran off or didn't listen to her. The people who didn't listen to her were probably in another dimension right now. She cleared her head and focused on what was happening right now
"You think this one will be able to teach me, he can barely even stand up" She glared at Robin. Robin stood up properly, and Starfire glared at him for being two inches taller than her.
"Oh well you know what they say, the bigger they are…the harder they fall" She smirked and Robin knew his next mission, he had to bring his Starfire back, even if Slade did take her memory she would get flashbacks, right?Slade watched them both closely, they would make a good pair, indeed they would.
