Ch. 3
" Hey, uh, thanks for helping me. " said Robin to Wintergreen as he examined his semi-healed body. The older man had introduced himself after Slade and Robin had the argument, and Robin and Wintergreen hit it off rather well.
" Don't thank me. Thank Slade. He was the one who told me take care of you. " said Wintergreen as he stepped back to see if Robin had anymore cuts or bruises, but he didn't. Robin rolled his eyes. That little favor that Slade did for him didn't make up for all the pain he has went through.
" I won't be thanking him for anything. Why are you even here with Slade anyway? Haven't you noticed that he sucks? " asked Robin. Wintergreen gave Robin a cross look.
" He saved my life several years ago, so I pay my debt by helping him. " explained Wintergreen as he put up the medical supplies in a cabinet.
" Slade helped someone? Well that doesn't seem like him at all. I think you have the wrong guy. " Said Robin half-jokingly with a bitter laugh.
"Well, He did save you. Look, your father isn't as bad as he seems. Maybe you should give him a chance. " said Wintergreen
"Do not call Slade that." Growled Robin while getting off the table in the medical room.
" Call him what? " Asked Wintergreen.
" Don't call him my ' father '. Even if he is my biological father- which he isn't- he is no father to me. I the him." Said Robin hatefully, and he meant every word of it. Shaking his head slightly, Wintergreen gave Robin his old apprentice uniform.
" I suggest you put this on. Unless you want Slade to get angry again and have to come back here." said Wintergreen firmly but kindly. Seeing that he had no choice, Robin put the uniform on. Then, Wintergreen led Robin to the training room.
" I brought your son to you Slade. " said Wintergreen despite Robin's glare. He then turned around and exited the room quietly. Robin cringed when Wintergreen said ' son ', and began to get angry, but he pressed the feeling down. Slade was waiting for him.
" I suppose you a healed totally healed? " asks Slade as he walks up to the boy.
" Almost, but you jerking me around didn't help at all, so thanks, I appreciate it. " spat Robin sarcastically, a glint of danger in his eye. Slade narrowed his eye, but refused to get angry. He needed to earn the boy's trust in order to get him to submit.
" I'm going to ignore that, but I am not going to ignore the fact that I had to save you from Brother Blood. That man is not someone who you should be having trouble with. I expect more from you." says Slade, looking down at Robin. Getting angry, Robin strikes at Slade, which the man dodged easily. Then, Slade went for Robin's head. Robin flipped backwards to avoid the kick and to create space between them.
" It's not my fault! Beast boy led us to a trap! " complains Robin as he dodges another one of Slade's punches. Then, Slade ran at Robin threw him over his shoulder to the ground.
" See? The Titan's only hold you back. Imagine of the things you could accomplish with me. You would have stopped Blood if you had trained with me. " said Slade. The older man then held his hand out to Robin. Robin looked at Slade's hand wearily for a moment, but grabs it and gets up.
" They don't hold me back. They just..." Robin doesn't finish and Slade sees the doubt in his son's eyes. Hesitantly, Slade puts his hand on Robin's shoulder. The boy wonder's body tenses, but he makes no move to get away. Looking up, Robin gives Slade a slight smile but it disappears as fast as it came. ' Good. ' Thinks Slade. He was gaining the Robin's Trust slightly, but only slightly. Slade knew Robin would have to see the Titans betray him to turn Robin, and Slade knew that would happen soon...
