1Hallo chaps, this is a quicky and I apologize for it but my time is shortened. I wont bore you with my life and how much homework I have and how hard it is to find a new job and how stupid school really can be so without further a-due...
Disclaimers: T.Titans, villains, and Wintergreen, everybody else is mine!
Slade stood with his hands behind his back, his usual stance. He awaited Victoria and his new arrivals. All had been prepared; a beautifully carved oak table sat before him. It was over flowing with food all placed on delicate china. Slade always liked to impress even if they were under his command. He figured the girls were famished, and they would be no use to him if they were weak and hungry so he had had Wintergreen prepare this extensive meal. Wintergreen also stood by at the ready, tray in hand.
"Wintergreen." Slade said his eye still watching the door. "See what is taking Victoria so long."
"Yes sir." Wintergreen nodded, leaving the tray behind.
Slade watched him leave, he truly did appreciate Wintergreen. He had always been there for him, when he had been at his weakest. Slade wasn't one to acknowledge that fact often or even thank him for it but he knew it was true. The only two human beings that had ruly been loyal to him, the only two who had gained his trust.
The door creaked open ending Slade's thoughts, both Wintergreen and Victoria entered.
"Well? Where are they?"
"They're dressing Slade. I thought you wanted them to be presentable..." Victoria answered slowly, seeing his patience decrease.
"Yes, I do." He said pulling out a remote and aiming it at a small box in the wall. A large screen lowered as he typed in a few numbers. The screen flashed on revealing the same room the girls were staying in. "I also wanted them under surveillance at all times."
The thee girls had just emerged from the bathroom, fully clothed in their new uniforms. They had discovered the various cameras watching them.
"Well he obviously wasn't trying to hide the fact that he's watching us." The dirty blonde said quietly to the others. "I don't think he can hear us if we talk quietly, so we may still have some privacy."
They're lips continued to move but Slade could neither hear nor read them.
"Guess they're smarter than we took them for." Victoria sighed. She watched as Slade's frustration only grew. He usually kept his cool especially in public, which was mainly the Teen Titans. He did seem to relax a bit around her and Wintergreen though, he would show some human emotions. Victoria, of course, had noticed this and welcomed his trust with open arms. His trust towards her was more important than any amount of money, she had strived for it since the first day she came to work for him.
She had to work hard to get to this point. Years of military training, small robberies here and there. She was good and she knew it but Slade seemed to be looking for something else. He seemed to be looking for a second opinion, another brain, a plan B, a second perspective, he wanted to make sure his plans were flawless. He needed them to be flawless, the Teen Titans were not so young any more, they were growing height and maturity wise. He had to be prepared. This is why she thought he had chosen her. She was smart, she knew the titans; not personally but she knew enough about them. She had sworn to secrecy with the military and so she figured he thought she could be trusted.
"Victoria, go retrieve them." Slade said as he shut off the screen
Victoria nodded and left wondering why she had said she would work for him.
"Wintergreen, the drinks." He added as he seated himself
"Yes sir."
The three girls still sat talking quietly on he bed. "Alright, well I'll watch for any other cameras maybe there's a room some where that doesn't have any. Then we can check in." The dirty blonde said to the brunette.
"But how can we sneak away if we are being led by master Slade's helper Victoria?" The brunette asked.
"We can figure something out..."
"Wait." The smaller blonde cut in. "Do you two know each other?"
"Uh." The dirty blonde tried to answer. "We..."
"Are you two even really slaves?" The smaller blonde pressured.
"Why would you ask that fellow slave?" The brunette asked.
"Because you two have been talking about some kind of plan. And your both acting like you know each other!"
"We can explain." The dirty blonde answered looking over to the brunette who simple nodded. "Once your in on this you have to either help us or stay quiet." The dirty blonde threatened.
The smaller blonde nodded, eager to hear about this plan.
"Have you ever head of the Teen Titans?"
"Actually..." The blonde began to answer only to be interrupted by the door.
"Good your ready." Victoria said eyeing their outfits. "Dinner, now." She barked, wondering how many more minutes Slade could really wait.
The three girls jumper of the bed and followed her down the hall. She kept a fast pace through the winding, dimly lit halls and so the girls lagged behind.
"I do know about the Titans, why? What does that have to do with anything?" The small blonde whispered.
"Well, were working for them, undercover." The dirty blonde answered quietly eyeing the brunette.
"Oh...so you trying to do what exactly?"
"We need to find out where we are exactly so we can report back to the Titans and tell them where his lair is. We're also trying to find out who Slade really is and what he's really planning. We, um the Titans really want him behind bars."
"That's cool. I'd be glad to help, I don't have anything to loose right?" The blonde whispered laughing slightly. She really didn't...
"Right." The dirty blonde agreed.
"Good we have a new friend!" The brunette said smiling at the blonde. "What is your name?"
"Ryan, and who are you two?"
"I'm Starfire!" Starfire said as she extended her had to Ryan.
"So you two are from the Teen Titans!" Ryan said excitedly. "That's so cool!"
"Yes." The dirty blonde confirmed, eyeing Starfire.
"So you must be Raven right?"
"Right."
"But I thought you had purple hair?"
"Yes, I do but since we're undercover..."
"Riiight."
"Come on girls! Slade is waiting!" Victoria yelled noticing how far behind they were. "Hurry up!"
They finally reached another set of large wooden doors; they also had intricate carvings. Victoria eyed them over one once more as she reached for the handles. The door swung open quickly, Wintergreen stood, door in hand also eyeing the three girls.
"What is it about appearance around here?" Ryan whispered to Starfire who shrugged noting the similar look.
"Welcome ladies." Slade said simply, rising from his chair as if he were greeting the Queen herself. "Please, do sit down. I imagine you three are quite famished, are you not?"
"Oh, yes please Master Slade." Star said eagerly not noticing the two glares from Raven and Ryan. "I am truly hungry!"
"Well, dig in my dear, I plan on getting to know each of you a bit better before the night is through." Slade commented as Wintergreen pulled off the lids revealing banquet sized platters of food.
