Chapter 6

Reflections

He ran down the dark streets, feet splashing through puddles.

Lightning split the night sky illuminating the path before him for a split second before it went dark again, so the only light was from the street lamps.

Robin slowed to a stop and leaned against a large building.

"What's happening to me?"

He turned around and jumped back.

Normally one would see himself in a reflective window-but it wasn't him it was-

"Slade! What do you want?! Why do I keep seeing you?!" he demanded.

"What do I want? Why, merely your allegiance," he purred.

"I'll never join you!"

"But my dear Robin," he whispered condescendingly," you already have."

"What?"

"We're not so different, you and I."

"I'M NOTHING LIKE YOU!" Robin yelled.

He slammed his fist into the window completely shattering it.
