Disclaimer: I don't own the Teen Titans no matter how hard I wish I do!
Jinx only reappeared at lunch, she joined Raven, Gar, Rob, Star, Vic and Giles. In which the latter pair where in a heated discussion about tomorrow's sports.
" Hey" She mumbled.
" What happened?" Gar quizzed. Raven had graciously filled him in about the screensaver...not how she came to do it however!
" Not too bad. Detention tonight" A glance to Raven " And then everyday for a month at break" A glance to a blushing Victor.
" So I can still make tomorrows and Thursday"
" Thats good" Aqualad and Robin said in unison.
" Awww!" Star teased. Robin mumbled something about " Revenge won't work she's too cute"
" Speaking of tommorow...I want to know a bit about this Deathstroke academy. No one seems to mention more to me than- Kill the cheatin' scum or – Bruises so many bruises." Some of the expressions on the table where those of laughter.
" I'm guessing that last comment came from Malcom Choir ? A.k.a Malchoir" Vic nodded.
" Tall guy? White hair in a pony? Silver scarf? Yeah, he didn't seem fazed though" Unknown to the table 3 of them shivered slightly at the memory of "it".
" Yeah he came last time to write about it, I think he's writing at a grand opening or something so he won't be here this year." Vic asked about Deathstroke again.
" Ok sit back and let me start from the beginning...
"Jump high is a select school along with 2 others. H.A.Y.E.P. prep and Deathstroke academy. Deathstroke's rep comes from it's Headmaster; a cruel man by the name of Slade Wilson (A/N didn't see that one coming), he's known for his ruthless education skills and training regimes. Also he's renown for his calm temper..."
" Calm Temper?" Gar interrupted.
" It's like when people say things monotonesly but with so much hidden malice and spite it becomes the eye of the storm." Robin replied.
" Ok"
"...he sometimes aims it at the opposition- to tell you the truth...it scares the hell out of me, enough to make me wanna hurt someone." The boy shuddered.
"But his students get the worst of it. He despises failure and no one is safe from him"
The table was silent as they listened on. Robin relayed his next fact.
"It's a known fact that if you stand out he'll find you, and then you become known and feared as what the students call, The apprentice. Your disciplined and overworked,even though your looked after-on the inside- Anything less than the best...isn't tolerated."
Star saw the deep feeling in his face.
" Robin?" she whispered...but it didn't sound like her...
FLASHBACK
" Rumor has it your interested in me"
" I'm interested in a lot of things Mr..."
" Greyson-Robin"
" Ah the little boy wonder from Hell town"
" Your offer"
" If you really so curious about my offer, perhaps we should meet...face to face"
REAL
" Yo Robin!" But it still wasn't Vic's voice
FLASHBACK
" If your going to become my apprentice I'll require your utter devotion"
" I'll do whatever you want"
REAL
" Richard?" Raven asked.
FLASHBACK
" Impressive Robin. I watched today's lesson. You treated my students to quite a show"
" Glad you enjoyed it, Sir"
REAL
" Robin!" Star shouted.
" This deal won't last forever!"
" Huh? Sorry Star, I just spaced out" The whole gang was staring at him.
" I'm going for a walk...anyone wanna come?" Star, Jinx,Giles and Gar left with him. Vic turned to Raven.
" What happened?" She looked surprised.
" You noticed?" He nodded.
" No one can space out for 5 mins while people are calling his name!" Raven stood ready to walk after Robin.
" They. Have History." She walked off rashly.
"History?"
As Robin exited with his friends he remembered the the most frightening 6 words ever said to him...
" It can Robin. And it will !"
" Robin are you sure you do not wish to accompany me and Raven?"
" Nah, that way it'll be a surprise when you turn up to the dance...with me" he gleamed. He'd asked Star after lunch to raise his spirits, much to everyone's delight.
" Oh of course! I must hurry Raven is waiting!" she nodded to the "ice" queen who was waving off Aqualad and Gar. They were going to practice.
Star gave him a quick kiss and rushed off. Robin stood there for a while- in instant depression. He'd brushed off Vic's offer to go with him and Jinx to rent a movie. Right now he didn't need what they offered.
In solitude he strode home. Today's little flashbacks could have been the verge of another breakdown. A problem he was cursed with.
If your really so curious about my offer perhaps we should meet...face to face...
" Dammit!" He cursed slapping his head. Normally he wasn't this bad, normally he had Kori to get him to grip on reality.
Robin stared at the clouds, stormy. Cursing again the boy stumbled in the rain.
Ahead of him was a bus shelter...
Grinning he increased his speed and...Leapt!
The force of the jump was more than high enough to propel him onto the roof of the shelter. He would have gone further but his steel like legs and steel capped New Rocks stopped him to a halt.
" Hn" He said. Practice was sweet.
Beep!Beep! Robin's shades looked down on the road where a black, rain pelted car waited.
In his "rush" he'd completely forgotten about the rain. The driver waved a hand at the back door. Robin growled, jumped down, and got in the car.
The interior was leather and the windows tinted. A cowl stared at him.
"That was idiotic"
I think thats the fastest chapter I've put up in the space of submitting the other one...
We finally learn about Robin! Who is this dark figure? What is the full history about Robin's education? What happens to the other members of the gang? And What about the dance! Maybe these will be answered next time in chapter 14!
