Behind the Mask Part Two
"You...you can't be...DAD?" Robin stammered. Slade lowered his head, "Surprising, I know..." "But why Dad? Why did you turn evil? Why were you trying to kill me?" Robin questioned.
"I'll tell you the whole story. It's incredibly long but I think it'll help. When your mother died, things turned to the worst. You were still a little thing, I had to take care of you all by myself. I had to change diapers, dirty work. I had to pay for the bills, work overtime, get a babysitter, pay the babysitter. I was working around the clock. Tiring myself. Someone came overnight and stole all our valuables and money. You would probably go to a orphanage. I didn't want that for you, you always reminded me of your mother and you were the only memory I had of her...
So first I started pick-pocketing, then it turned into stealing from banks, all just to help the family. Then I went to jail and you got sent to an orphanage. The man that adopted you was Bruce Wayne. He took care of you and helped you. When I got out of jail, my only thing to do was to find you. By the time I did find you, you were a superhero, Robin and the Teen Titans. I did a lot of thinking in jail and I found out, I liked stealing, I liked the thrill of leaving with money in my pocket.
When I found out you were a superhero I was so proud. But when you were a superhero, we had to meet sometime. Those first fights you had, then you heard my name, I just wanted you to know who I am in a way. I was delaying those fights and sending robots so that I wouldn't have to fight you. But sooner or later I figured that you would meet me someday so I decided to make it quick. Don't you understand Robin? Everything that I do and have done...was for you.
After your mother died things got harder, I had to work harder. You were too young to be taken from me. When I went to jail I had no choice. And Robin, I'd never try to kill you. Did I ever kill you? No. Even if I had the chance I'd never think of it. Although it might've seemed like I was trying to kill you, I just wanted to make it convincing. Why do you think I wanted you to be my apprentice? Robin, you're my son and I wanted you to know."
Well that's the second chappie. Should I just end it here? Or should I keep going? Please tell me!
