Scars: Chapter 7

Slade

"Hello Robin." a dark low voice purred. Robin immediately recognized that horrible voice. His heart froze over, which was rare occurrence for him. And him and Starfire quickly turned around to face none other than Slade.

Robin found himself to be scared stiff. He couldn't move, and at the moment, he couldn't even breathe. Slade had caught him completely off guard and now, he was pretty helpless.

Slade started to talk, no purr, to Robin as he moved around him.

"Why, it looks like my little Robin has fallen in love." he said, smirking under his mask. Making Robin feel very nervous and embarrassed. And Slade referring to Robin as his. He shuttered. Had Slade heard the whole conversation! If he did, Robin was pretty screwed. He then realized that his mask was still off and quickly put it back on in embarrassment.

"Oh, don't bother Robin, I've seen your eyes before, remember?" he said, holding a hand up, hoping to highly embarrass the young teen tonight. Slade looked at Robin intensely.

"Did you think you could just run away from me and forget all about our apprenticeship, Robin?" Slade asked.

Robin grit his teeth angrily and nervously. Starfire was very surprised that Slade would dare show his face there. And could not tell what he was going to do. Slade walked slowly toward Robin and Robin tensed up.

"It's a good thing I found you, Robin. And because of this little chat, even I have to admit, even I had no idea you came out here every night on this day."

He had heard them talking. Robin was screwed. This was it. Slade knew all his secrets now. It was just a matter of time until he used them against him. Now he just wanted to be somewhere else, he wished he hadn't gone out that night. What's worse than your hated, vile enemy knowing all your secrets? Robin could think of a couple things, but this was definitely on the top five of the list.

Then he remembered that Starfire was there. He had been worrying about his own problems so much that he forgot that Starfire was there too, and in danger as well. Slade started to come closer to Star, walking in a stalker-like way. Which was what he did.

Robin moved more in front of Star to protect her and pushed her a little more in back of him. Softly so Slade wouldn't see. But under the watchful eye of this villain, nothing was unseen.

"And I have to say, that Starfire, I'm very impressed. You've gotten more out of this boy in a half an hour, than I got out of him in three days. And just by talking to him. But I had...other methods." Slade said, cracking his knuckles threateningly. He moved closer to Starfire and it got Robin protective and angry.

"STAY AWAY FROM HER!" Robin yelled. And he assumed his position in front of Starfire. Slade laughed.

"I should've known it, shouldn't I have?" he asked Robin expectantly. Robin was confused.

"Known what?" he had meant to sound threatening, but he just sounded like a scared little boy.

"Known that you and the alien were in love." Slade mocked. Robin and Starfire grit their teeth harder and glared at the monster.

"Oh yes, so sorry to hear about your parents, Robin. I'm sure they were...great people." Robin was getting fumed now. Not only was he mocking him and Starfire, but his parents too! Now he had pushed it too far. Robin growled angrily.

"Don't you dare talk about my parents you-you over-stuffed egomaniac!" He said trying to come out with the right words for his parents' sake. No one would dare mock his deceased parents and get away with it!

He lunged at Slade, but he easily dodged and started talking again.

"And I also found out how you felt about me. I'm crushed." Slade said sarcastically. He looked straight at Robin.

"But it was all lies wasn't it Robin? You liked our time together, didn't you?"

"No!" Robin replied almost immediately. He was repelled that Slade would think that he enjoyed what he did to him!

"No you disturbed bastard! You think I enjoyed the things you did to me! You sick son of a bitch!" Robin yelled. Slade laughed again.

"Of course, apprentice, of course."

"Don't call me that! I don't belong to you anymore!"

"On the contrary, Robin. You have always belonged to me. I claimed you and only I am allowed to have you. You should know this by now. And I am not prepared to share you with anyone." he said looking hotly at Starfire who still bewildered by the conversation that was going on in front of her. Star got even more angry. This man had a lot of nerve.

"Robin doesn't belong to anyone and you can't control him! And how dare you show your face here!" Starfire screamed at him. Slade tsked.

"Ooh. Feisty." he said.

"You wouldn't want to make her angry." Slade continued.

Robin had enough, he wasn't going to take anymore of Slade's insults. He got his retractable bow staff out.

"Ok, that's it, low life, I'm not taking your insults anymore. If you've just come here to mock me, my family, and Starfire, you've got another thing coming!" He said taking a battle stance.

"Oh, Robin, I am not here to fight, I just want to take back what's mine." Slade said.

Robin's eyes widened, he was never going to go back with Slade, not again. Never. Then he got even more upset.

"I DON'T BELONG TO YOU!" Robin screamed.
