Chapter 5

-with Robin-

It has been days since he was kicked out of the titans tower. He was already missing the place, but what he missed most about it was Starfire. "it was all Beast boys fault" he growled at the thought. He then heard someone shout. He turned around and followed the noise.

He was now walking down the alleyway where he heard disturbance. He came to the dead end. He punched a wall in anger. "Damn it must have been my immagination." He said out loud to himself. Thats when a misterious figure appeared out of nowhere behind him.

"Hello Robin" said a figure walking towards him. "I can help you with your little problem"

"Who are you" Robin asked getting into a battle stance.

"You know who I am" said the figure, stopping couple of feet away from him. Robin then saw a familiar black and orange mask.

"Slade" he spat out. "What do you want". Getting ready to fight him, but Slade didn't seem to be interested having a fight with him. This confused Robin more, since Slade would have usually tried to attack him already. Robin managed to relax and dropped his deffensive pose.

"I don't like to repeat myself Robin" Slade responded sternly. "I said I can help you with your little problem"

ROBIN: "How do you know about this" he asked in confused tone, getting more defensive again.

SLADE: "It doean't matter how I know about it" he walked up to Robin and placed his hand on his shoulder "I know what's it like to feel betrayed. I know what it feels like to have your friends have their back turned on you and I know what's it like to want to get revenge against someone who caused this to happen" Slade consoled Robin trying to brainwash him.

"If you join me Robin I will help you get revenge against Beast boy. If you join me I will help you to get your former friends to trust you again. All I am asking from you is a partnership."

'Thats fair enough reason' thought Robins reckless side. 'Yes Slade is my enemy, yes he has tried to split the titans up before, but since I don't belong with the titans no more. I could make a new start' Robins reckless side told him. 'No I can't, if I do that then all of the years as a hero will go to waste, but I could see what he has in mind'. "So what do you have in mind" Robin inquired becoming interested in what Slade has planned.

"If you want revenge against Beast boy, the first thing you need to do is get your former friends to trust you again" Slade responded, with a confident smirk under his mask.

"How am I supposed to do that, I got kicked out of the tower couple of days ago" Robin explained getting more frustrated with him.

SLADE: "My child, with my help it can be done"

ROBIN: "How exactly"

SLADE: "join me, and I will explain you my plan step by step" he took his hand off Robins shoulder and turned around walking away from the alleyway. "You coming" Slade asked stopping for a second. "No I can't I still follow by my beliefs. I do not tend to team up with criminals. I can do it on my own" Robin replied, getting ready to attack him. "You're going back to jail Slade" he growled, charging at him clenching his fist pulling it back and started to swing at him.

Slade turned around angrily as he saw Robin running at him getting ready to punch him. Slade dodged a hit and jabbed Robin into his stomach, nocking breath out of him. "Foolish choice Robin". Slade then kneed him in the face and then slammed him into a wall. Robin saw Slades side exposed and kneed him in the ribs. Slade let go of him holding his side for a second. He then saw Robin starting to throw several punches at him. Slade dodged all of the punches and grabbed hold of his hand as robin was about connect his fist with Slades face. Slade then twisted Robins arm around and placed his other hand on his head and tripped him over effectivly preventing any further attacks from Robin.

"Good Robin, you have improved, but you still need to work on your techniques" Slade responded to Robin like a teacher. "If you decide to change your mind meet me up at the beach in 2 days at the same time" said Slade and then kneed him in the face and nocked him out. He then stood up and and left him there.

Robin woke up minutes later. He winced in pain as he got up. Slade had really done a number on him. He started to leave the alleyway as Slades last words ran through his head.

-Next day-

Robin went to one of the apartments rooftop which was close to titans tower. He sat down and stared towards the tower. He had a lot of thinking to do. He wanted to get revenge against Beast boy, but yet again that would mean he would be a criminal. Can he really give up fighting for what he believed in?

Starfires last words ran through his mind when he got chucked out. "I guess she doesn't care no more hehe" he said in pathetically.

He still remembered the looks on the other titans faces when they told him that Beast boy left the tower.

'was it really my fault' he sighed. He then felt himself becoming more angrier as he thought about how Beast boy failed to capture slade when he was his weakest and then having all the titans turn their backs on him. 'did they even care that a madman escaped from jail' he thought. 'Did they even care that I tried my best to make Beast boy realise his mistake' he then saddened at the thought a bit. 'Others were right I had gone over the top with my last comments towards Beast boy' he then got angry again. 'I might have gone over the top, but he shouldnt have been so pathetic and run away. He caused my teammates and my one and only love turn against me' He then stood up watching the sun rise up.

Then Slades last comments ran through his head 'i can help you with your little problem' Robin then thought about it. 'Could he really help me get Revenge on Beast boy for breaking him up with Starfire'.

'Am I really gonna drop all of my beliefs just to get back at that green slime bag' he thought finally making a decition to join Slade because without his team and Starfire he didn't have nothing to live for. 'I could just be partners with Slade until I gain back the trust of others and get revenge against Beast boy.

He then stood up and left the roof. He walked back to the hotel where he has crashed since he got kicked out. He lied down on thw bed and fell asleep.

-Next day-

Robin waited on the beach for the arrival of Slade. He has been waiting there for ten minutes. He arrived exactly the same time when he and Slade had their encounter.

"Robin glad you could make it" said Slade walking up behind him.

Robin turned around "So what's your plan" he asked Slade directly.

"Patience Robin patience. Do we have deal then?" Slade asked. Robin was about to say no and attack him until he remembered why he was here. He reluctantly pulled his hand forward and shook it "Deal as long as your plan will work"

"Good i'll explain you my plan once we get back to my secret hideout" with that he turned around and walked away from the beach followed by Robin.

They walked out of the city. Robin became bit more alert and asked "where is this secret hideout of yours"

SLADE: "we're nearly there"

When they arrived to his secret underground bunker Robin started to get impatient with him. "So how am I going to regain other titans trust?" He inquired.

"Easy, I am going to start sending attacks towards the city and I will send you to defeat the attack, wether it is Cinderblock or Plasmus. When the other titans see you they will realise that you are an important part of the team. I know you don't like this and I know it will take a while, but trust me they will eventually forgive you and let you back on the team" slade concluded his speach.

Robin thought about the plan for a second. Was he really going to drop his beliefs just so he could get revenge against Beast boy, but he had to admit that it was a good plan to get them to forgive him.

"So what will I do after I gain their trust" He asked becoming more and more interested in Slades plans. He had to admit Slade was genius when it came to making plans.

SLADE: "You will join their team again as a double agent for a start. The reason for that is so I can listen in and plan the final phase of your revenge. You will ask them if they heard about Beast boy"

ROBIN: "And if they haven't heard of Beast boy or refuse to answer the question" Robin countered, starting to doubt his plans slightly.

SLADE: "Trust me I know they will have heard from Beast boy by then and I have a plan to make them spill their beans."

ROBIN "How"

Slade took couple of things out of his pocket. He handed a piece of paper to Robin. "What's this" Robin inquired. "It's a flyer that the titans are handing out to everyone, they are willing to pay quite a big amount of money to who will find Beast boy". Robin raised an eyebrow to see how big reward are they willing to give. He nearly got an heart attack when he saw the price '1 million dollars'. "Are you kidding me where are they going to get the money" Robin shouted not wanting to know the answer, but Slade answered him anyway.

"They got in contact with batman about this and he was willing to help them out. They also told him about you betraying them and he's not very happy with you about it" Slade replied trying to turn him fully against the titans. To Slades luck Robin bought his lie. The titans did speak to Batman about it, but they never said anything about Robin betraying the team. They were not the ones to ruin a family.

"And I thought I had friends" Robin said bitterly.

Slade knew he has won Robin over to his side and he intended to heep it that way. "This is our first lead to finding Beast boy" Slade pointed to the leaflet. Suddenly Robin was able to piece 2 and 2 together.

"How am I going to get them to tell me about Beast boys wherebouts if they refused to tell me" was Robins final question.

Now Slade was certain that he managed to fully corrupt Robin with a desire to want to get revenge.

He opened a cabinet and took out syringe with dark green liquid in it and showed it to robin. "This serum is a great weapon in your mission it is capable for 2 main things that are critical on the last parts of your mission with the titans"

"What is that" Robin asked with a raised eyebrow.

SLADE: "this serum when injected will temporarily paralise the titans, so you need a precise moment to strike them with a needle and inject it into their jugular vein. If you miss the vein the serum is less likely to work, but hasn't been tested like that yet. The second thing that the serum will do is force them tell you the truth, so in other words it is partially a truth serum"

ROBIN: "But won't I have yo abandon the team afterwards I mean they will not take me striking with a syringe nicely" he said with confused tone.

Slade laughed "Last thing what I nearly forgot to tell you was this serum will force them to pass out after 15 minutes of injection and they will forget that anything has ever happened to them."

'Wow Slade has certainly though about this plan thoroughly.' Robin thought. "Why are you helping me. It's not like you to do this" he asked Slade.

"Lets just say I'm doing this as a favour to you" Robin raised an eyebrow, but decided not to pursue this any further, he replied with a simple "OK"

"So partners" Slade hold out his hand. Robin looked at him. He knew that he was making a life time commitment. "Partners" Robin said shaking Slades hand"

"Good, why don't you go and rest we have a lot of work ahead of us" Robin nodded and left.

'And it begins, I would have expected a tougher challange from my apprentice' Slade thought as he sat down continuing on with his evil masterplan.

A/N Hope you enjoyed this chapter. I thought this was a good way to add Slade into my story. This was also a good way to convert Robin from good to evil. As usual rewievs would be appreciated. Expect chapter 6 soon.
