Scene One: Roadway to Hell
It was a night like any other night when the Titans were called to take care of a robbery but
something bugged Robin about this one. Something wasn't right. It felt like a trap. But they had no choice but to check it out. 'Still feels like a goddamn setup,' Robin thought to himself.
As they arrived at the scene they saw their culprits. A bunch of punks wearing freaky hooded
masks to hide their faces. They clutched the money as well as weapons that consisted of bloodstained
baseball bats and six-shooter revolvers. 'This will be easy,' Robin thought with a smirk as he shouted his
usual battle-cry and reached for a couple of smokebombs. "There are those Teen Titan dickheads!
There's the one we're after," one hood said to the others as he pointed at Robin. "Shread them!"
The battle lasted a while and Robin no longer felt worried about traps as he battered his
way through the thugs. He kept them alive of course as that was one of the most important lessons
he learned while fighting alongside Batman. But as the fight continued, a weird guy in a black SWAT-like
suit snuck behind Robin and stuck a needle in his neck. "What the...!" Robin tried to shout out for his friends but started to black out.
"Don't worry, Birdboy. The boss has ordered us to keep you alive until you've reached your
destination," the man in the SWAT suit said through a weird gasmask. "But he didn't say we couldn't beat the shit outta you until you fell asleep. Hahaha!" Suddenly, the masked figure started to beat him
in the face until finally the Boy Wonder blacked out completely. 'God...what's gonna happen to me?' were his last thoughts.
"Hey, Robin, wake up!" Robin slowly awoke to the voice on the intercom that sounded so familiar. So sickening. "You're not dead but I can't say you will be alive for long. Hey. Smile for the camera, star." Robin's face felt numb with pain that brought back short memories of that man beating
him in the face. Robin looked up to the ceiling to find a video camera staring down at him. "I seeeee
you."
"Slade!" Robin shouted as he reached for his utility belt to find it was gone with all his gadgets.
"Where am I! Where the hell did you take me!"
Robin could feel Slade's eyes on him as the camera continued to stare at him. "Hey, be grateful
I didn't decide to have you dead. Come on. Cheer the fuck up," Slade said over the intercom. "But we
can't keep talking this way. It'll spoil the whole reason of you being here so pick up the earpiece on the
desk next to you and put it on. Go on and put it on." Robin looked to the desk to see the earpiece but
hesitated to pick it up. 'What if is rigged with poison or something,' Robin thought to himself. "Come on,
kid. Put the damn thing on for Christ's sake!"
Robin finally grabbed the earpiece and put it on and could hear Slade's voice as clear as ever
to his dismay. "That's better, Robin. Only you can hear and that's the way you're gonna want it 'cause
I'm your only way outta here."
"What the hell do you want from me, Slade! Why did you bring me here?"
"Hey chill out, Robin, and sit down!" Slade sounded like he was starting to lose his patience
with the Titan but still had a batch more. "That's what I'm trying to tell you so shut the fuck up. Now I'll
explain more once you get out there." Suddenly the door opened revealing escape for the young Titan.
Robin stepped up and walked through the door. "Do exactly as I say and I promise this'll be over before
the night is out."
Robin looked to see that he was in the middle of a street in a broken down city he had never
seen before. "Where am I?" Robin asked to himself unaware that Slade was listening.
"Why, you're in the broken down part of Jump City my little friend. And I guess I should
explain why you're here in this shithole. You're going to star in The Robin Project my snuff film. And in
order to leave this place you're gonna have to do whatever I say. Got it, Robbie Poo?"
"Snuff film? What are you talking about?" Robin couldn't understand what the fuck was going
on. Why was he here? And what did Slade mean by snuff film?
"Hey, retard, I didn't finish explaining your the horrible situation you've been tossed into so shut
up and listen." Slade continued on. "These streets are being patrolled by gangs whose sole purpose this
night is to hunt you down and slice you to bloody ribbons. Here's your motivation in all of this: Kill or be
killed." Robin couldn't believe what he was hearing. "That's right, Boy Wonder. In order to survive this
night and escape with whatever sanity you have left I'll need you to kill each of these assholes while I
catch it all on tape with the hundreds of cameras I placed around this part of the city."
"You're insane," Robin said to Slade. "There's no way I'll ever commit an act of murder especially if it's for a scumbag like you!"
"I don't think you understand at all the position you've been forced into, Robin. I'm holding all
the strings here and if you don't kill these fucks I swear to fucking God I'll make sure that you'll never escape this nightmare and that you'll spend the rest of your miserable life in this hellhole! Do you
understand me, Robin!" Slade took a second to cool down. "Now, all your little gizmos and shit have
been taken away so you don't have the upper hand in this little project of ours so you'll have to find
whatever you can to take out these guys. I'll try to direct you the best way I can but other than that well...
you're on your own. Okay you ready? Lights! Camera! Action!"
Robin continued down the broken street past dumpsters and walls with porno signs to find a
way out of this place. He looked down to find a plastic bag and thought this might come in handy though
he prayed he'd never have to use it. Suddenly in the opening of an alleyway Robin saw a thug like the
ones from the robbery. He was facing away from Robin which made him safe for the moment but he was
blocking the only way out of the streets.
"Well, Robin, it's time to prove that you are worthy to star in the Robin Project. I see you have a
plastic bag. Good good. Now...kill the worthless prick and continue on. I'm waiting."
"No...I can't..." Robin whispered pleads to Slade but he wouldn't take any shit from the Teen
Titan.
"Listen, kid. Do you wanna go back to your smartass friends or not? Now kill him! I wanna see
blood, Robin! BLOOD!"
Robin knew he had no choice in the matter. He snuck up behind the thug. "When is this little
fag suppose to come. I've been waiting for four fucking hours for God's sake," the gang member mumbled to himself unaware that his untimely death was coming. In swift motion, Robin had the bag
over the thug's head and proceeded to suffocate him. Robin could feel the man's strength as he violently
struggled to get out of Robin's grasp but to no success. Robin couldn't take it and started to wrap his
arm around the guy's neck to quicken his death. Finally the thug's struggling ceased and he stopped
breathing. All Robin could do was toss his lifeless body to the ground and stare out in shock of what
he had just done.
"Wonderful. That's my boy a real killer. Well that was a little audition to see if you had what it
takes and I see you do. Well done!" Robin was still in shock for a few minutes until he came back to his
mind. "Now continue on. The next scene is about to begin...star."
Well I hope you enjoyed the first chapter in a most likely twenty chapter story. So R&R people and see
ya!
