Where we left off:

"Let's begin."

"Let's," With that I kicked him the groin and he fell back, but before i could axe kick him he back flipped out of the way, and my foot left an indent in the concrete right where I wanted Slade. He looked up as he narrowed his eye and came straight toward me, Yep, so not my day.

I barely dodged as he came at me, I quickly brought my foot behind me and kicked him on the back.

"You have gotten better Raven, I am impressed." Slade turned around as I got in the fighting stance.

"Why does everyone think I can't fight?" I mumbled as he came at me fists ready, I ducked under one of his fists and punched him in the ribs hearing a cracking noise. I felt him push me and I fell on the ground, I looked up to see his foot about to smash into my face, but I quickly moved out of the way and got up. I leapt up and kicked him in the face as I saw his neck twist back, and I used that to my advantage and kept punching under his chin right into his neck. Every blow I fired I heard the cracking noise as I backed him up into the wall. I stood two feet away as I caught my breath, I saw him straight out his face as cracking noises echoed throughout the warehouse. "Shit," I breathed as he came at me. I turned around and ran.

I ran to the other side of the wall as he backed me up only four feet away from me. "You lose,"

"Not even close," I put my foot on the wall and propelled myself straight at him, I kicked him in the face again, this time he was on all fours. As I was about to punch him he grabbed my fist and he stood up, I struggled and tried the other but gripped my other hand as well. He pushed me into the wall as my head banged against the concrete wall, "How am I supposed to beat you if you can't even be injured?" I struggled as he laughed.

"Raven, I did get my part from your father, I did get my skin and bones, but 'daddy dearest' didn't mention that the only way to kill me is with magic. Why do you think I made that deal with you? You can't win." I was stunned, as Slade was radiating triumph in his aura. I gritted my teeth, as I was about to summon my powers Slade spoke, "Ah ah ah! Remember our deal? You use your powers then you're friends die." I stopped, and he pressed me closer to the wall. His face was next to mine as his breath sent chills down my spine, I quickly head butted him. But it had no effect on him, only that he loosened his grip just a little. I however, had a killing head ache, maybe not the smartest move. I had to think of something and there was one thing.

"So, if I give up what are you going to make me do?" He laughed as I got my knee ready.

"Its not the matter of 'if' it's the matter of 'when' you will give up Raven. And I would use you as my apprentice." I stared at him, my knee still ready,

"Are fucking kidding me? An apprentice again? I though you would've learned your lesson Slade."

"Robin is just a boy with issues, Terra was just a girl with predictable power, both were stupid to disobey me."

"And yet, they still beat you." I spat back, his one arm wrapped around my neck and began to squeeze.

"Do not talk back to me Raven."

"Ohhhh, I hit a nerve, I guess you can't handle the truth huh?" He tightened his grip, as he brought my head to his face.

"Listen, my old apprentices were nothing, you have power and you have a dark side."

"Go to hell,

"Been there, done that, there's nothing down there anyway."

"Bitch," That was the last straw for Slade, he squeezed harder, as I saw my vision start to fade.

I tried to hit him, but he dangled me a foot off the ground, and I started to loose my strength. He brought me face to face as I started to fade out, but before I blacked out I saw white skin and felt something wet go up my check. I shuddered, "I'll see you soon my apprentice," With that I fell into unconsciousness and prayed I wouldn't wake up.
