"Who the fuck are you?" I asked, snarling still in Super Saiyan form and raising my power up more.
"Language my dear boy," the stranger said. "I'm merely here to help you."
"Well I don't need your help!" I growled, trying to scare this guy. "So go away."
I started to turn to leave when the stranger spoke again.
"Slade is dead, isn't he?"
I froze in my tracks.
"What did you just say?" I asked surprised and not entirely believing this person's question.
"Slade… is dead… isn't he?" the person repeated.
"Who told you that?"
"Most high classed villains know about it," the person said. "And he's your father."
"Do I know you?" I asked. He seemed familiar but I couldn't place my paw on it.
"Blood, Brother Blood."
Then it finally hit me.
A memory from two years ago came back to me.
MEMORY'Mr. Slade. I have what you wanted.'
'Thank you Brother Blood,' said Slade.
'The Hallucinogenic Dust can only be triggered with this remote,' said Blood, giving Slade the controller. 'It's a 'gift' if you will. No charge.'
'Have you've met my son?' asked Slade.
I walked out and I stood next to my father. I looked at Brother Blood who looked back at me.
'Your… son?' Brother Blood asked.
'My adoptive son,' said Slade. 'I took him in when I witnessed his Mother's death.'
'I see,' said Blood. 'Well, I must be off. I have more important business else where.'
Blood left.
'I hope we meet again Brother Blood,' said I. 'Until then.'
Blood's eyes glowed red for a few seconds and he walked out of the lair.
END MEMORY"You gave Dad the dust," I said.
"Yes," Blood said. "He told me that you hate Robin, correct?"
"Yeah, that's right," I said.
"I'll help you with your problem if you help me with mine."
"What did you have in mind?" I asked.
"You give me Cyborg, I give you Robin," he said. "Simple enough."
"Yes, but there's always a catch," I said. "What will happen if I fail?"
"I kill you of course," Blood said. "But you're a bright creature and… powerful… if I might add. I know you'll manage."
"If I do… manage… and you don't give me Robin, then I'll kill you and all of your HIVE students. So I'd win no matter what the outcome.
"I'll agree if you… agree," Brother Blood said, his eyes glowing red as he said it.
"Oh, I totally agree," I said. "But I'm agreeing on my own free will. Your mind control doesn't work on me, Brother Blood."
His eyes stopped glowing.
"You and Cyborg are the only ones who I can't control, apart from your deceased Father that is. How is it that you three can defy me?"
"I'm no ordinary wolf, Blood," I said. "My life isn't ordinary. No, not at all."
"Do we have a deal then?" Brother Blood asked, putting his hand out in front of me.
I smirked.
"Deal," I said as we shook on it.
"I'll be back in a few days to give you your instructions. Good-bye, Rocky Wilson. Don't disappoint me."
Blood walked out of the cave.
"I wouldn't have it any other way," I said. "You may be smart Brother Blood… but I'm smarter.
I laid down and I was drifting off to sleep.
This time Robin… you are mine.
Me: I'm sorry the chapter was so short, but I couldn't think of anything else to put at the end. Since this chapter was titled "The Deal" I could only add the deal inside of it. Next two chapters correspond to "Titan's East Part 1 and 2."
Until next time,
BYE!
