A/N: heyas! sorry for the late update but i had to do a lot of research but it all paid off...
and thanks Rocky-Whit-wolf-of curses for the info you gave me, that helped!
Chapter 2: His origins
Sara sighed 'Well...i can tell you that Slade was not an evil-born child but was kinda scrawny, as by the pictures my mom showed me and was always quite, he never used to play with other kids but used to confine himself in a corner and stare at everybody, thinking one thing or another
He was an honour student, always recieved the best grades and despite his scrawny size, always maintained top physical level...the school used to show him off at meetings so you can say they kind of used him...anyway, as he entered his teens he became more serious. My mom told me that he would fight her parents on thier constant bickering which usually ended with more bickering, that grandpa would accuse grandma of raising such an insolent child and grandma accusing grandpa of the same thing
Surprisingly though, Slade never fought with my mom. They had a weird bond of some sort and they always used to help each other out. Slade never did anything to upset her...until, the day he shot his own parents'
The titans, save for Raven and Robin, gasped at her last words...how could any child shoot his/her own parents? that was just plain wrong!
'Why that flighstick!' Starfire hissed as her eyes grew green with anger 'how could he shoot his own parents? everyday I mourn for mine!'
'Calm down Starfire' said Robin soothingly and the girl's eyes retained thier normal color.
'Whoa this is wicked!' exclaimed Beastboy with a mischevious glint in his eye.
Raven ignored him 'continue'
Sara sighed 'If you insist. After he shot his parents, he packed his bags and was going to leave when he saw my mother staring at him with sad, accusing eyes in the doorway... she was only 5 and he was 20 He was going to come near her when she yelled ''dont touch me you monster!''
then that did it, he grew angry and backhanded her across the face, surprising my mother more than ever imagined and before she could hit him herself, he left' Sara's face showed pain 'my mother said that was the saddest day of her life from where all the hardships started'
'I feel your pain, my dear freind' said Starfire softly and gave her a tight hug 'you need not continue if it hurts you more'
'No! I want that monster dead!' Sara suddenly yelled and sat bolt upright 'ill tell you eveything, i just want him to suffer like my mother did'
'Oh he will suffer all right' said Cyborg and she gave him a thankful glance.
She took a deep breath and again continued 'After 15 years my mother got married to a nice family who cared about her but never forgot all the pain her dear brother had given her and swore to get revenge.
After some time my mother recieved news of Slade joining the army from a freind...she was only 20 then and Slade was 35...she knew he had lied about his age to get in the army and was soon famed for being the youngest soldier.
After world war two, she heard the news of his supposed death and cried herself to blindness, blaming herself for being such a bad sister.
My father got worried over her condition because it could affect the baby she was carrying-yes that baby was me' she said and wiped a stray tear from her eyes 'I was born when she was 45, my father had already died then and when i was 6, my mother died as well so i was all alone
I wandered around the streets aimlessly, always searching for something and somebody but i soon regretted that when i was picked up by a group of scientists
I was pretty strong for my age so they thought i was an ideal specimen to experiment upon...unfortunately, it turned out that Slade had willingly allowed them to experiment on him for enchancing human survival abilities
I saw everything, it was horrible and i can never forget the screams of the poor soldiers who died in agony...i even saw them experimenting on Slade and that was the first time i heard him scream...
Then, it was my turn. I was completely helpless as they stuck a sirenge in my vein and prayed to God to help me' she gave a weak smile 'and God did, as if by some miracle, i was still alive. All the doctors were dumbfounded, even Slade, who had somehow survived the whole procedure'
'Wait a minute, if you were also experimented upon...then that means...' his voice trailed off and his skin turned pale.
Sara nodded sadly 'Yes, the experiments enchanced our survival abilities, made us quicker, faster and more intelligent, Slade can use 90 of his brain and so can i...if i want to but im just lazy' she smiled 'and ofcourse, it also made us immortal'
Everyone(except Robin who already knows the immortal and experiment thingy part), including Raven gasped immortal? 90? please tell me this is all a joke...
'Anyway, i call him cousin because all of us at the research facility used to call everyone cousin, not because of relation, because we all had been experimented upon' Sara continued 'but after some time the scientists abandoned us and only a few of us survived-me and Slade, call in unnatural, call it wierd but i dont know how.
We were seperated long ago and i used to miss him, even after all the pain he had given my mother...i mean, he was family after all.
After some time though, I found him but he betrayed me and left me to die and thats when I swore revenge' she finished as her look of sadness was replaced my a look of pure hatred 'I dont act as serious as Slade but trust me, Im serious about getting revenge. My immortality is the cause of my youthfullness'
Beast boy stared at her with an open mouth 'dude...whoa'
'For confining in us, we are most humble' said Starfire 'and donot despair, for we will help you. Slade will pay'
'The heck he will!' Sara yelled angrily 'but for that i need your help' she turned to Robin with pleading eyes 'please?'
'sure, we will give you all the help you need' he replied.
Raven glared at him, then at her you guys might be fooled with this sad story but im not ... it may be all true but im still not trusting her.
A/N: allright, all of you might not asgree on this information but this is all i found...i also changed it a bit to suit my character so please dont flame me because i tried my best...hope you enjoy it though
