Slade led Robin to the medical room to take care of his injuries. Robin could barely keep up with Slade and felt dizzy. Slade put his hand on Robin's shoulder to steady him, but Robin quickly shook the man's hand off. He didn't want to be within a hundred miles of the man, but the best he could do was not be touched by him. The two walked in the medical room and an older man was waiting for them, with an ice pack in hand. Robin did not recognize him. The man handed him the ice pack.
Robin set the ice pack on his ribs. The coldness of the ice pack numbed the pain significantly, but thanks to Slade's little punch he still felt horrible.
" The titans will find me Slade. And when they do, you will wish you had never helped me. " spat Robin. Slade turned around and walked toward the boy wonder.
" I would watch your mouth, young man. You will not talk to your master with such a tone. Do you understand? " said Slade as he leaned into the boy's face. Robin narrowed his eyes.
" Oh, so now your my master too? I'm not your little apprentice anymore. Sorry to disappoint you. You're not my master or my father! All you are to me is a liar! " shouted Robin into Slade's face, never taking his eyes off of the man's face. That outburst earned Robin a slap in the face that left a mark on his face and knocked him to the floor. Slade, picked Robin up by the shirt roughly.
" Think boy. Have I ever lied to you? No. Why would I lie to you about something as drastic as this? " asked Slade rhetorically. Robin had no answer, but certainly wasn't about to lose this argument.
" No, you haven't lied to me before, but you are a criminal. Oh, and one more thing: You. Are. Not. My. Father. You are a liar." said Robin. Getting even more angry at Robin, Slade dropped the teenager on the floor carelessly.
" What makes a criminal now days? How do you know makes a criminal? From Batman? Or should I say Bruce. " asked Slade as he ignoring the last part of the sentence. Robin eyes widened. Slade knew the identity of Batman...Why should he be surprised? Slade knew his identity, so it made since that he would know Bruce's. He shook the thought from his head. he didn't care for the moment. Robin got out of the tile floor quickly and stood straight up in front of Slade, looking defiantly at him. He was sure he had made his point.
" Your so-called 'friends' will not find you. That is a promise. " said Slade as he started to leave the room. But, he stopped right at the door and turned around to the teenager.
" They will betray you Robin. The titans will. In fact, they already have. Mark my words, son. " then Slade left the room, leaving Robin and the older man. Oh yes, Robin and Slade's conversations were delightful...simply delightful.
