Teen Titans – The Hardest Foe
Prologue
Starfire's body fell to the floor in front of Slade, her neck was twisted at an unusual angle.
"It's a shame that she was so powerful yet so naïve," commented Slade, "And a tip I'll think you'll find most useful Robin is that snapping the neck usually kills most species." Slade dived off the edge of the roof as the Titan's watched before activating the jetpack he had on and hovering up to taunt the Titan's more. The Titans stared at Starfire's lifeless body, it was hard for them to accept that the cheerful alien girl was now gone forever. Robin stared at Slade and into the eyes behind the mask.
"You bastard!" he yelled charging at Slade and diving off the roof at him. Slade moved meaning that Robin fell to the ground. Using the wall to slow his descent he slid down before dropping onto his speeding motorcycle and heading after Slade.
Robin followed Slade to his hideout and stepped out to confront Slade.
"Right on time," said Slade without even turning round. Robin charged and went to attack but Slade was too quick and after a few blows Robin ended up lying against the wall facing Slade. Slade pulled out a pistol and aimed the barrel at Robins head.
"Bit crude for you isn't it?" asked Robin defiantly.
"I had high hopes for you Robin," replied Slade, "But I see you won't join me now."
"Too right," muttered Robin kicking out and knocking the gun from Slade's hand. Robin rolled and grabbed the gun before standing up and pointing the barrel at Slade's head before the other Titans arrived.
"Robin no," moaned Terra as they saw the scene.
"Don't do it buddy," warned Cyborg.
"Drop the gun Robin," said Beastboy.
"Please drop it Robin," pleaded Raven in an unusual display of emotion.
"Do it," said Slade standing confidently as always.
"It's alright," replied Robin attempting to convince himself, "It's just another robotic copy," as he squeezed the trigger.
