A/N: I do not own the Teen Titans or Agents of SHIELD; they belong to DC Comics and Marvel Comics, respectively.
All of the Hydra personnel just stared at Robin and he threw two of his bird-a-rangs at two random agents. Then he quickly tossed out the smoke balls so he can hide within the smoke cloud. Then he shot a grappling hook back at the vent he fell out of, however Baroness Lucifera had different plans for Robin because she saw his line protrude from the smoke cloud. She took out her ICER at him and waited until she saw the red tunic pop out of the cloud.
Robin started ascending towards the roof and the Baroness took her shot.
She didn't miss her target. Robin was shocked by the ICER round and as a result, he came crashing down to the floor, but he wasn't elevated too high. A few Hydra members came to his side to check his pulse, his heart was still beating, "He knows we exist, Baroness, what do we do to the intruder?" A member asked.
Lucifera just stared, "We lock him up and try to convert him to Hydra. If he declines, we execute him." She stated.
Slade appeared out of the shadows with Hydra logos on his shoulder plates, "Baroness, I believe we have acquired someone valuable to Hydra."
"However if he cannot accept the ideals of Hydra, we have no choice but to execute him. If he manages to find a way out of this base, who knows what kind of connections this teen has." The Baroness said in a stern tone.
"But!" Slade began.
"Enough!" Lucifera stated, "We're already close to deploying Project Insight, we can't afford some teen leaking that kind of information out to the public or worse, the Justice League!"
Then she hastily left Slade dumbfound; he clentched his fist until he found Agent Kate, one of the Baroness' most trusted agents. "Agent Kate," he began, "Baroness Lucifera requested DNA samples of Robin."
"Why would she want that?" Agent Kate spoke.
That answer was too easy for Slade, "She wants to use this information as leverage when Robin refuses to join our side."
Agent Kate understood what Slade was saying, "I understand. I'll have the results within eights hours."
Slade was now hoping he could possibly stall, just long enough to find out the identities of Robin's parents and potential friends; maybe that knowledge will convince him to join Hydra.
Robin woke up to his arms and legs being tied up to a chair, "So you're awake, now?" An unrecognizable voice called to which Robin only glared at the sound of the voice, "I take that as a 'yes' then." A man stood in front of Robin, "So, who sent you here?" The man demanded.
Robin said a bit frustrated that he ended up in the position he is right now, "No one did, I followed one of your members." He wasn't sure if he was right.
The man nodded, "I see. A few of the guys took a look at your files and I must say it's pretty impressive, Robin. A master detective in your right and started up your own team, which since has expanded greatly." The man paused gaining Robin's interest, "It's such a shame that you waste it on meaningless activities."
Robin glared, "Saving people isn't meaningless!"
The man raised his hands in defense, "I didn't mean to offend you. I just wanted to bring to your attention that your talents could be used somewhere else. Just imagine a world where the only crime you ever have to worry about is theft crimes!" Robin looked at the man with much confusion and skepticism. "I understand the world I just painted is very hard to imagine, especially given your talents but think about a time where everything is simple." He smiled at Robin's interest spiking up.
"That's impossible! I've been fighting crime for over five years and no matter how hard we fight crime still occurs." Robin countered. "Crime will never go away overnight."
"True, but there are many factors to account for when a person commits a crime, for example someone might rob a bank because they can no longer afford to pay the bills. Another is when a mother tears up a city just to find her baby."
"But how are you going to stop people form committing crimes?
"We eliminate the problem before it ever happens."
"But won't you be restricting a person's freedom?"
"So you'll protect someone else's freedom over someone's life." Robin couldn't find an answer to counter the argument, "If we were succeed with our plan within in a year, it would mean that another child wouldn't have to witness their parents falling to their death!" Robin gave up on finding answer and he stared at the ground completely defeated.
It had been close to ten hours since Slade had last spoke to Agent Kate, he needed to do something that would get the attention of the female agent. So he decided to wait outside the room where Robin was located, then a muscular man stepped out. His name was Agent Carl and he was looking confident, "So how did converting Robin go, Agent Carl?"
Agent Carl smiled, "It took less than five minutes to break him, now I'm going to report back to Baroness Lucifera."
Slade put a hand on Carl's shoulder, "You should go back to the R&D team, they need you, I'll notify Lucifera for you."
"Will do." Agent Carl agreed and left to the R&D section without much thought.
Slade noticed that Agent Kate was walking towards him, "So did R&D ever tell you who Robin truly is?"
Slade sighed, "Dick Grayson, the ward of Bruce Wayne. I could've told you that without lifting an eye."
"Why haven't you told anyone then?"
"If you properly did your research on the Waynes, then you will have noticed that they have money and a lot of it to spend. And he'll do anything to change the focus of any subject, it'll be hard, and he'll go to any party just to keep up that playboy appearance." Slade replied, "Besides have you discovered anything from Robin's DNA test?"
"Yes, but if you knew about Robin's identity, then why request I perform a DNA test on him?"
"The Baroness wanted concrete proof of his identity."
"So then you know his parents are dead and that he didn't have much friends in the private school he went to for three months."
"That's unfortunate," Slade said gripping the door, "I can't bribe him by causing physical harm to his loved ones." Even though he could.
"Wait! He declined to join Hydra?!"
"Unfortunately so, now we must eliminate him; I suppose it's for the greater good of Hydra." He entered the room, taking out his fifty-seven magnum.
Agent Kate was shocked to hear the words coming out of Slade's mouth, once she recovered she immediately ran to Baroness Lucifera's room.
Later that night, Baroness von Lucifera was alone in her office checking out Robin's data on her computer. "His records say that he is very skillful when it comes to fighting. Who knows, if he succumbs to our ideals, he could make for the perfect agent in Hydra, even better than that pathetic Winter Soldier. If we succeed there, we might be able to bribe Wayne into funding us!" She muttered to herself. Before she could further elaborate, she was interrupted by her door swinging open, and saw her agent come it. "What is it? Can't you see I'm busy?" She barked.
The young agent took a breath as she was tried from sprinting to the baroness' room, "I'm sorry, but these are the DNA results you requested from the prisoner we caught today." The agent said pretty terrified of the results.
The baroness took the results, "What DNA test? I never asked for anything of that nature!"
Agent Kate swallowed, "Even if you didn't, this is crucial information!" Lucifera read Robin's DNA results and had to keep rereading it over and over to make sure what she seeing was true. Her hands started trembling from the news, getting ready to drop the papers because of the information they contain. "If you don't do anything right now, Slade will kill him!"
Then Lucifera dropped the papers and sprinted in hopes of reaching the execution room first before the executioners did. She barged into the room, "Stop the execution!" She demanded and she saw Slade put away his revolver, "Take him to cell!" She ordered and Slade smiled underneath his mask.
By the time Agent Kate walked to the outside of room as the Baroness exited, "You understand what you almost did, right?"
"No one is to know about this!" She demanded absolute secrecy from her agent.
"Understood, Baroness." She replied and walked away from her.
Lucifera had quickly walked into her office and slammed the door behind her and locked it to prevent anyone from seeing her. She let tears escape her eyes, she couldn't believe what she had almost done. "What kind of person am I? What kind of mother almost kills her own baby?" She fell to her knees and placed herself in the fetal position.
