A/N: Just thought I'd make everyone giddy with this one. Twists ahoy mates!

Disclaimer: Should have done this from the start. I don't own the Teen Titans, or anything directly associated to them. I do own Blink, but that is about it.

Chapter 3: Tortured Soul

"First Robin, then Terra, and now Captain Australia here. What is it about that scumbag Slade that attracts people to him! He's a menace to society for all that is holy!" Cyborg hollered, slamming his sonic cannon down hard, and breaking off a large chunk of the center table. "I mean, this guy would kill his mother for a nickel!"

"Actually, he'd probably bribe someone else to do it, using two cents of his own." Beast Boy interrupted, before looking down. "I don't think Blink is our enemy here." Beast Boy blurted out, before slapping both hands over his mouth. Slowly, one eye shifted to the rest of the Titans, who were all staring angrily at Beast Boy. Well, all but Starfire. She just sat on the couch, still staring off. It took a few seconds, but Starfire slowly stood up, and walked over to Beast Boy. Slowly, Beast Boy looked into the eyes of Starfire, looking to see what it was that got her moving. He saw hate in her eyes, and as slowly as she could, she adjusted her view to Beast Boy's eyes.

"Not… our… enemy?" Starfire muttered out, before delivering a glass shattering slap across Beast Boy's face. Everyone gasped, aside from Beast Boy, who could only stare away. His face felt like fire, but he wouldn't dare cry. He had no right to. Slowly, but surely, Starfire walked to her room, and locked the door. It didn't take long for the Titans to hear her crying.

"Beast Boy, we've put up with some stupid stuff from you, but what you just said was effectively the DUMBEST thing to ever come out of you mouth!" Cyborg yelled, Beast Boy still looking away. Slowly, he raised a hand to the side of his face, and felt where he was slapped. It burned. Burned like fire. "Blink is responsible for this entire thing. Robin is gone thanks to him! And you, like a goddamned idiot, say he's not our enemy! HEY, here's a crazy idea, why don't you actually stab a knife in Star's back, instead of twist the one already there!"

Beast Boy wouldn't respond. He just continued to look away, and rub the side of his face. Cyborg must have believed he was feeling sorry for himself. If only he knew. Of it all, Raven seemed to say the very least, and observe the most. So she was the least surprised when Beast Boy turned to Starfire's room, and mutter something under his breath.

"Beast Boy! What did you just say?"

"None of your DAMNED BUSINESS OKAY!" Beast Boy yelled, spinning towards Cyborg, who himself had suddenly put on a shocked expression. "Whatever the hell I said, I SAID! Don't like it, DON'T LISTEN!" And with that, Beast Boy stormed off, heading out into the city for some fresh air. Before anyone could stop him, Beast Boy turned into a bird, and zipped off, leaving Titan Tower to Cyborg and Raven. Cyborg, without anyone to yell at, turned to Raven.

"You know, you could have said…"

"He was in Terra's Tomb again. That was all I could see from his eyes. And for the record Cyborg, whatever he said isn't your business." Raven muttered, turning to her room, and listening for the impending freak out. What Raven had not told Cyborg, was that Beast Boy was slightly drunk. 'Beast boy, drunk' Raven thought, a slight smile coming to her face.

Sewers ------

"That's it. Destroy the Titans? Common mate, I could go to any villain, and he'd say the same dam thing! There's gotta be something more here." Blink replied, looking back to the room. Something had changed.

"The Titan's are only the first step. I need them out of the way. This pathetic city will serve me better without them."

"And by that you mean?"

"If I told you the ending of the story, would you read the rest?"

"Slade, no mind mucks. Just tell me that you don't want to tell me mate." Blink replied, slipping on the mental headband, and turning to the same pillar. "Now then, all this gizmo junk, this will make things go boom right?"

"Yes, but it can do much, much more. With it, you can utilize your innate abilities to create temporary copies of yourself, increase your natural skills, spawn melee weapons made of energy, create walls of your accumulated energy, and much, much more. With that, you no longer waste energy from 'blinking', but store it for later."

"Right, but now I can blow stuff up, right mate?"

A long, drawn-out sigh escaped Slade's lips. "Yes, you can blow stuff up now."

A smirk came across Blinks face. "Now that was what I was waiting for mate." Blink laughed, before point a hand at the pillar, and firing a blast of energy at the pillar. He laughed as the column erupted into smoke and debris, spreading over a long distance. "Now that is how it's done." Blink said, throwing back the hood of his cloak. He had blue hair.

"So, not everything related to you is black." Slade stated, as Blink ran a hand through his hair. He always kept it short and manageable.

"Of all people, you should know that the hardest thing to see in shadows is blackness." Blink replied, before blinking away. A few seconds later, he blinked back. "What are you going to do to Bird Boy, if you don't mind?"

"Robin has always been a problem in my plans, and this time, I intend to remove him from it."

"So, in other words, you're going to off him." Blink replied, half paying attention, half toying with his new equipment. Slowly, he raised his hand in the air, gun shaped, and snickered slightly. "Pow, right?" Blink responded, pretending to shoot his gun shaped hand.

"No, not nearly as easily as that. First things first, I want to break Robin. I want to finish what I started. Most of all, I want to see him beg for death." Slade muttered, sinisterly, as he turned towards the room. "And by the way, apprentice. Time to tone down on the drinking."

"Are you kidding? Telling an Australian not to drink is like telling a villain to save a cat trapped in a burning building." Blink replied, before going to his special training ground.

Slade merely sneered, before going towards Robin's holding room. This would be Slade defining moment. He was going to enjoy every second, every scream, every plea, and every drop of Robin's blood that he was going to watch spill. Had Slade been less of a man, he would have gotten giddy with excitement.

Downtown ------

Beast Boy finally landed on top of a nearby building, and turned back to his normal self. It didn't take him long to get comfortable, sitting with his legs hanging off the side of the building. 'Good going Beast Boy. Way to make things worst.' He thought to himself, badgering himself for his idiotic actions. And yet, he could clearly remember every little thing that happened. Every little detail. '"Not… our… enemy…"' Beast Boy replayed, throwing his head back, and staring up into the night sky. 'Today has easily been the longest day of my damned life.'

As Beast Boy sat there and thought, he felt something bounce off the back of his, and land cleanly in his lap. Spinning around, Beast Boy saw the one person he didn't want anything to do with, sitting the same way he was, and tipping back a can of brew.

"Ol'Slade says I need to stop. Figure I might as well have one or two more." Blink stated, running another hand through his hair. Even in this light, Beast Boy could see his hair. He knew who it was. "Looks like a bit of a mark there mate. Did yah have a bad date?"

"I honestly don't know what I should do. I feel like beating the ever loving hell out of you, but I still don't understand you." Beast Boy replied, cracking the beer open, and having a sip. "If you must know, Starfire slapped me."

"Who?"

"The girl you hit on last time we rumbled."

"Ah yes, that darling beauty." Blink replied, sipping some more beer. "I guess you told everyone by now."

"Depends. I told them your Slade's third. I didn't tell them anything else." BB responded, tipping back the beer. "Your turn. Who the hell are you? And why the hell are you sharing beers with me when we're supposed to be enemies?"

"Why the hell not? My real name is Damian. I came from good ol'Australia. Well, it's more like I was tossed from Australia. My talents scared people."

"Well, for all that's holy, you can disappear in a heartbeat."

"It was always more than that. Blinking requires me to concentrate. Sometimes concentration gets interrupted. When that happens…well… when that happened…" Blink tried to say, looking off into the distance. "…onto nicer things. I split beers with you because you remind me of, well, myself."

"You were loud, annoying, easily hated, and looked at as the comic relief?"

"I meant that you remind me of myself in terms to your choice in chicks." Blink responded, as an empty beer can bounced off his head. "Right… sorry. Choice in girls."

More silence, aside from Blink taking another sip of his beer. 'What in the hells am I doing! I am drinking beers and talking with my enemy. Not just any enemy, Slade's new apprentice. I should be attacking him, not sharing brews!' Beast Boy yelled inside his head, looking back at him.

"Raven probably expects something."

"She shouldn't. I blocked my presence, if you know what I mean." Blink replied, as BB looked over questionably. "What I mean is I put myself into a loop of constant blink. Mad concentration needed, but it keeps a clear image out of people's heads."

"You're a strange one."

"By the by mate, didn't I say next time, the brews were on you?" Blink jested, looking down. Before Beast Boy could reply, Blink disappeared. Even before he could say something after that, Beast Boy heard the sounds of a cough. He turned around to come face to face with the one person he wish he didn't.

"Raven… What are you doing out here?" BB asked, rubbing the back of his head with his hand.

"We need to chat."

Sewers ------

Slade slowly walked around the bound Robin, now tied to a stretcher. Of course, Slade left Robin un-gagged, which proved trying for the first hour. Robin, surprisingly enough to Slade, had a bit of a sass mouth on him. However now, Robin was attempting to reaffirm himself, to let no scream slip, let Slade have not that pleasure he tortured for. Still, Robin found himself slipping.

"Robin, you always were a problem to me. I always thought I could mold you into the perfect warrior, but you resisted. You always insisted on staying with those foolish…friends… of yours. You always did annoy me like that." Slade taunted, jamming an electrocuted pole into Robin's neck. Robin screamed in agony, thrashing about as Slade pushed the pole deeper. Finally, he removed it, and watched Robin spit out a wad of blood.

"….Go…Screw…Yourself…SLADE!" Robin yelled, Slade chuckling.

"But Robin, we are having such fun." Slade retorted, grabbing Robin's hair, and lifting his head off the stretcher, ramming the pole into the back of his neck. Another sickening, blood curdling scream ripped through the room, as Slade lowered his head to Robin's ear. "Common Robin. You can scream a little louder, can't you?" Slade whispered, twisting the pole, and smiling as Robin screamed a little louder. "That's my boy." Slade whispered sinisterly, pulling away the pole, and watching pleasurably as Robin thrashed around.

"…My…Friends…Will…" Robin started, only to see Slade before over, bring his masked face closer to Robin's, to the point of where Robin's nosed was just inches from the mask.

"Robin, as far as your stupid friends know, you're missing. They have no clue where the hell you are." Slade taunted, dragging the pole across Robin's chest, and laughing as Robin responded with another agonizing scream.

'Okay Robin, time for someone else to take over.' A voice inside Robin's head whispered, as Robin gagged on some blood, which soon came up as the pole left. "Huh" Robin responded, weakly, confusing Slade. Robin still stayed mentally strong, forcing himself through the pain.

"Well then, Robin, maybe it's time for something a little different." Slade mocked, before polling out two long, thin needles. Slowly, Slade pushed one needle into Robin's left shoulder, listening as Robin choked back cries of pain, and tears of agony. Slade, done with one arm, slowly inserted the other into Robin's right shoulder. Fresh blood flowed from the puncture wounds, and Slade only stared down at the struggling Boy Wonder.

"This machine is going to inject a painful shock into your bloodstream Robin. It will feel like your insides are being cooked by your own blood." Slade taunted, laughing evilly as he looked down at the incapacitated boy. "It'll be the most agonizing thing you have ever felt." Slade attached two wires to each needle, and turned on the machine, sending an incredibly potent shock ripping into Robin's body. Robin tried to scream, but no sound would escape, no sound could make it through his mouth. Seconds felt like hours, hours of horrible, horrible pain. Robin's body contorted and twisted freakishly as the shock ripped through his bloodstream, until Slade turned it off, mercifully stopping the pain.

Then Slade saw what he aimed for, before finally finishing Robin. Tears. Tears of pain, or lost hope.

Tears of defeat.

Rooftop ------

"You'd better start explaining Beast Boy. This is one of those times where…" Raven threatened, her ire rising.

"What do you mean?"

"We told you to stay away from Terra's Tomb. That it distracts you from current tasks. You still went there."

Beast Boy sighed, both in aggravation, and in relief. "Raven, you might have hated her, but I never could forget her."

"But Beast Boy..."

"Raven, just because you can't display love, doesn't give you the right to shoot down those who can." Beast Boy blurted out, annoyed that he was being lectured for something as meaningful to him, and meaningless to them, like going to Terra's Tomb. However, Raven felt the full force of what BB had said, and it left her reeling.

"You ignorant little bastard." Raven muttered, before clueing into something she didn't before. "Where'd you get the beer Beast Boy?"

"Like I'd tell you anyways." BB replied, until Raven grabbed him by the neck of his suit.

"Where!" Raven growled, as Beast Boy began to get desperate. Just as BB was about to spill, the alarm went off. Another sigh.

"Guys, he's back, and it looks as though he's trying something different." Cyborg said, as the location led them to Titans East's Tower. "I got a warning from them a few seconds ago, and then static."

"When this is done Beast Boy, we will finish this!" Raven mumbled, before speeding off towards the Tower.

"Yah, when this is done." Beast Boy muttered, following after her

A/N: Oh no! Has Slade has succeeded in officially breaking Robin? Who was the voice in the back of Robin's head, and why is Blink at Titans East? You'll have to see when the first multi Titan showdown begins. Titans and Titans East versus Blink.
