CH. 3 Growing Affections

Slade leaned against the wall of his last class of the first day. This last class happen to be the only one Slade looked forward to, it was gym class and today they would be playing a game of dodgeball. Slade wore a skin tight sleeveless shirt that showed his well built arms, chest, and abs. He also wore black shorts, his cut-off gloves, and the black eye patch."Yo Slade"someone called. Slade turned to see Blood approaching with Killer Moth and Dr. Light."Hey guys" Slade said."So guys up for some dodgeball today" Moth said while flexing his muscles."Sure am, because look at our opponents.

All four friends looked at the other side of the gym to see Robin and his friends getting ready for the challenge ahead of them."Ha ha ha, please them, I could beat them blind folded" Blood said."Then why don't you" Slade said pushing off the wall and walking toward the starting line. His friends laughed as they joined Slade on the line."Alright it will be five on five" the gym teacher anounced. Robin got his team lined up just as the teacher got ready to signal the started."Wait, hold on Im coming" yelled someone. The teacher turned to see Mad Mod come bolting out of the locker room wearing his blue shorts and t-shirt with the british flag on it."Glad you could come" Dr. Light said as Mod lined up next to him. Slade ingored his friends bickering, instead he was staring across the gym at his opponents.

'None are really a threat, execpt that Robin kid, I think I'll welcome him to our school' Slade throught. He scanned everyone and stopped as his eyes fell on Raven. He stared at her and was lost so deep in thought, that he didn't even know the teacher blew his whistle to start the game. He stood as his friends and Robin's group raced to the middle, where five dodgeballs sat. Cyborg, Blood, Moth, Robin, and Light each got one of the balls. Cyborg wasted no time in getting into the action by throwing a powerful bullet at Blood. Blood quickly did a cart-wheel to his left and threw his ball at the same time. This ball connected with Cyborg's head, and sent him crashing to the ground."Your out loser" Blood laughed while making the L with his fingers.

Cyborg huffed and puffed as he walked off the court and sat on a bench. Moth ran forward to the middle line where he was quickly hit in the chest by the ball Robin had. This was part of Moth's plan, because as he took the shot, Dr. Light jumped from behind him and threw his ball at Robin. Robin realized the plan once Dr. Light revealed himself, and quickly moved allowing Beastboy to get hit instead of him."Dude that hurt like hell" Beastboy yelled walking off the court. The match was now down to Slade, Blood, Light, and Mod against Robin, Star, and Raven. Mad Mod ran foward with a ball in hand and threw as hard as he could with his twing size arms. The ball was easily caught by Starfire, causing Mod to leave and Cyborg to come back."God damnit" Mod cursed while taking a seat next to Moth.

Slade stood calm as he watched everyone's moves carefully. While Blood and Light tried to fend off the four people, Light ended up getting hit in his lower region. Every student watching ohhed at the thought of the serious pain Light was experiencing. Moth and Mod both grabbed Light by his arms, and dragged him off the court. As a ball rolled over to Slade's foot, he reached down and gripped it firmly in his hand."I guess I'll have to get involved" he said in a stern voice."To be honest, I thought my friends could beat you losers, but I guess me and Blood can take you"."Oh and lets make this interesting, Beastboy come back in" Blood said waving to the green boy. Beastboy looked at the teacher before going. The teacher simply nodded, allowing Beastboy to return to the game.

So now Slade and Blood stood facing the five people on the other side. Students began finding seats, and began to cheer for their favorite side."Come on Slade, kick their asses" someone yelled."Lets go Robin, dethrone one eye" another yelled. Slade looked at Blood who nodded at him. Slade too nodded and threw the ball in his hand. His target was Cyborg who easily dodged, but was hit by a ball thrown by Blood."Your now a two time loser" Blooded yelled. Slade turned to his friend trying get him to focus, but left his side exposed to an attack. Beastboy saw this and threw a ball in his hand at Slades exposed half. Without moving, Slade simply held out his left hand and grabbed the ball without any effort. He then turned and smirked at the boy.

"I knew you could help but throw at me when I left myself exposed, so I left myself exposed on purpose, knowing you would stupidly try something wreckless" Slade said. As he watched Star run up and get a ball sitting on the middle line. Slade smiled as he pulled bac and then forward, releasing the ball with tremendous force. This ball hit Star smack on the back as she retreated with the ball she had gotten."You Starfire, you always run to back when ever you get a ball, in doing this you leave your back exposed" Slade said. Robin helped Star up after getting hit hard."How cute, a real gentlemen, isn't that sweet Slade'' Blood said in a sarcastic voice."Damn you Slade, that was uncalled for"Robin said."Please spare me boy wonder, if she didn't know the danger of this game, well then, she shouldn't have been out here" Slade said.

Robin began to get angry as he ran forward throwing the ball that was gripped in his hand right at Slade. Slade smirked before easily moving to the side, dodging the ball."You'll have to try harder, next time" Slade said flipping a ball that rested next to his feet into his hand. He then quickly threw it and Blood followed suit by throwing a ball as well. Both balls hit Robin, one in the head and the other in his chest. He fell down as Slade and Blood laughed evily. Suddenlly Blood was hit directly in the head by a ball that came out of no where. Slade turned to see Raven holding another ball in her right hand."I think you forgot someone" she said. This brought a smile to Slade's face."So, you think you can beat me huh" Slade asked."Im going to try".

She threw the ball at Slade who jumped to the side, but had to jump again since another ball was thrown at him. Raven keep picking balls up and throwing them, and Slade kept on dodging them all until Raven ran out."Now you are out of ammo, and I have a good mind to elminate you and win, but look at the clock" Slade said pointing behind him. Raven looked at the clock and became wide eyed."Its time to leave" Raven said."Yep, and you just lucked out" Slade said before entering the boy's locker room. Raven couldn't believe her luck. She was finally going to talk to him, but it was now time to go.

"I need to get detention some how" she said."What was that Raven" Robin asked. Raven finally figured out how to get into detention. She picked up a dodgeball that rested on the ground and aimed for the teacher, who was talking to another teacher."Raven what are you doing" Beastboy asked. Raven ignored him and threw the ball at full speed. The ball wizzed throught the air as the teacher turned around to see the ball fill his vision.

Slade walked down the hall with his backpack slung over his shoulder."Lets see, what room was detention in today" he asked himself. Suddenly he stopped at a door on his left."This is it, Professor Chang's science class" Slade read before opening the door. He walked in to see Blood was already in there, along with Killer Moth, Dr. Light, and Mumbo. All of them sat side by side in the back of the classroom. He also noticed that Mammoth, Gizmo, and Jinx sat in there."How are you three losers doing" Slade asked as he walked past them."Good, thanks for asking" Mammoth said with Gizmo and Jinx giving him weird looks."You idiot, he called you a loser, don't thank him" Jinx yelled."Hey, could you be a lot more quiet, and less loud miss priss" Blood said from his seat in the back."Why don't you come make me"."Sorry I don't make monkeys, I train them". Jinx began to get angry as the door opened again.

Slade watched as Raven walked in carrying her bookbag."Hey, why is she in here" Blood asked."Your guess is as good mine" Slade replied. Raven checked in with Chang before taking a seat next to Slade in the back and withdrew a book from her bag."Alright do what ever you want, just don't wake me up" Chang said placing a dirty magazine on his face. Slade leaned over to Raven and snatched the book she was reading out of her hand."Hey give that back" Raven said."Lets see what your reading, huh, Edgar Allen Poe's the Raven, how ironic" Slade said before returning the book."So, it just so happens thats my favorite story"."Its not a bad story don't get me wrong, its just I perfer The Pit and the Pendellum".

As Slade and Raven continued to talk, Blood rolled his eyes at the two. He then looked out the window near by to see Mad Mod strapping on a helmet and then jumping onto his scooter. Mad Mod looked up at the window to see Blood staring at him. Mad Mod smiled and waved to his friend before leaving."I seriously need new friends" Blood said before placing his head on his arms and falling asleep.

"So your a freshmen huh" Slade asked."Yep, and your a senior right"."Yeah, been coming to this shity school for almost four years"."So, you said you were on the schools judo team right" Raven asked."Thats right, why"."Its just, maybe I could come and watch you practice one day" she said trying not to blush. Slade smirked inside, knowing he had won her." I'd like that, we practice on tuesdays, thursdays, and sundays"."Well I think I can make it tomorrow"."Good, you can come and watch me kick serious ass". Raven chuckled a bit on the inside, but didn't show it on the outside.

"So where do you live" Slade asked."Oh, well I share an apartment with my friend Starfire downtown" Raven answered."Really, I also live in an apartment downtown"."I know, I saw you and your friends this morning leave the building". Slade and Raven continued to talk as Jinx walked to where Blood was resting. In her hand she held a box of matches, and on her face she had a grin. She pulled open the box and withdrew a two matchs. She then placed one match carefully under one of Blood's arms and then struck the other one. Carefully she light the match under Blood's arm with the one already lit. She giggled and quickly returned to her seat as the flame got closer and closer to Blood.

Blood sleep quietly as the flame got closer to his arm. Suddenly the flame hit his arm with a stinging sensation. Blood literally jumped five feet in the air while screaming loudly."God damn that hurt" he said blowing on the wound."Who the hell did this" he demanded. Jinx whistled to herself both Mammoth and Gizmo pointed their fingers at her."You insolent little child, how dare you" Blood said with steam almost coming from his ears."Calm down old man, it was just a joke" Jinx said."Old man, why you little brat"."Hey Blood stop flirting" Slade said."Slade I don't need your smart-ass remarks right know"."Well at least he has smart remarks, unlike you" Jinx said."Why you".

Before Blood could say anything else the bell rang throughout the school, causing Chang to fall out of his chair."Well, I guess that means you kids can go" Chang said trying to tidy himself up. Everyone quickly gathered thier things to leave, espically Jinx, who was trying to leave before one of Blood's boring speeches began. Slade and Raven walked down the hallway side by side still talking about things. As Slade opened the front door of the school he was meet with four people standing there.

"Hey Raven ready to go to the..." Beastboy ended his sentence when Slade walked out with Raven next to him."Dude, what are you doing hanging out with him" Cyborg asked."Well we had detention, and just so happened we left at the same time, okay" Raven said."No its not okay, the guy is totally an ass" Beastboy said."You know Im standing right here, you green toad" Slade said."Well it is the truth mister tough guy" Beastboy continued as he walked up to Slade. Slade kept his hands behind his back and stared down at the boy."So you want a repeat of earlier" Slade said. Just as he said that Blood, Mumbo, Light, and Moth exited the school to find their friend staring down the four kids from lunch.

"Need some help getting rid of the trash Slade" Blood asked."Hey the only trash here is you" Cyborg said."Yeah what ever tinman". Cyborg popped a vain as he approached Blood and stood face to face with him. Everyone else got ready to fight when suddenly Raven stepped inbetween the two groups."ENOUGH" she yelled getting everyone's attention."You know what Beastboy, Slades not the ass, you are" she said."Wait are you seriously taking his side Raven" Beastboy said."Im taking no ones side, but if I had to choose, yes I would be on Slade's side".'Excellent, my plan has already started to work' Slade thought.

"But Raven, him and his goones beat us up, don't your remember, it happened at lunch" Robin said."I know I remember" Slade said."I wasn't talking to you"."Yes I remember Robin, but I also remember a certain green kid blurting out insults". Beastboy lowered his head at knowing she meant him."You guys think that Slade and his friends are bad, but you are the guys who started this whole thing"."But Raven" Star said before being cutoff."No don't, but Raven me, you guys have no idea how it is to have a bad past like me, and Im sure Slade had one due to his handicap".

Suddenly something hit Slade sharp in the heart.'She had a bad past like me, then maybe I shouldn't use her like I was..., no stay strong to your idea, you don't want to end up like last time' his mind said to him."So I want you guys to leave, and I'll talk to you later" Raven ordered."But" Beastboy said."NO BUTS, LEAVE NOW" Raven said getting angry. Beastboy began to back away in fear, as did Cyborg."Fine we'll leave, but remember, we warned you" Robin said before leaving. Everyone else followed, never looking back at their friend.

Raven huffed and lowered her head in shame."Why did I say those things" she asked herself."You said them, because they were true" Slade said placing a hand on her shoulder."But they were my friends"."Exactly, they WERE your friends". Raven suddenly looked up at Slade's serious face."I think its high time you found some friends that respects you more than those, so called friends". Raven stood quiet for a while, letting Slade's words sink in.

"I don't know, to much things have happened today, I just need to go home and think about this"."You do that, and if you need someone to talk to call me" Slade said placing a slip of paper in her hand. Raven nodded her head before walking down the street and around a corner, going out of sight. Slade's face filled with a large grin when she was gone."This is workout perfectly" he said.

Please review

Sorry if anyone is out of character. I tried my best to keep them in character.

I was thinking of either doing a Doom, Area 51, or Starwars story with Slade and Raven, but I can't decide. Maybe some feedback from my fans came help me make a decision.

Chapter 4 up shortly
