Never Build A Timehole Watch
Chapter 4: I Hate You
Beast Boy flicked the lights on and looked around. Everyone had a scared face on, even Jinx. He frowned, "Where's Goku?" Starfire looked around, looking more worried then scared, "The last we had heard of my grandson was when the husband of the nurse was bitten by the zombie girl." Raven said, pulling her hood up, "Maybe he went to his room."
They quickly went down the hallway and slid open the door. Raven's eyes glowed white for a few seconds then returned to violet, "No breathing. No one's in here." Travis frowned, "Look." He walked into the rather messy room and picked up her communicator, "We can't track her." Redfire frowned and put his hands to his head, "My telepathy... it's blocked." Cyborg waved a hand, "Lets go check out the Titans Mainframe."
The baffled team walked back to the common room and Cyborg typed in a few things. He spotted his teammates confused faces, so he explained, "I'm hacking into the prisons security cams to see which villains are in the vaults." Starfire clapped her hands excitedly, "Excellent plan friend Cyborg!" They moved closer to see who were in the vaults. Raven murmured through the names, "Cinderblock, Plasmus, HIVE, Dr. Light..." He went through most of the villains and Beast Boy said, "The only one left is..." Travis said crossly, "Slade."

Goku was untied, but was sitting in a large unbreakable glass tube that was held up by a metal chain. It was sealed with a metal top and bottom.
He sat down, nudging his back on the glass, making it swing back and forth, "So Slade, what do you want with a little six year old, eh?" Slade was actually behind him, not that he knew, "You are from the future, correct?" Goku nodded. Slade growled, "Look at me when I'm talking to you!" Goku smiled, "Sorry, can't." Slade pounded on the glass, making his back sting with pain. He quickly stood up in the tube, "I'm blind! I can't see anything in this tube, I need to be in the open air in order to use my Ki Sense, which I use to see!"
Slade started to pace, "I see…well, a small dilemma, but this could make it much easier." Goku pounded on the glass, "C'mon, you can't do anything with me! I can tell you blocked my Dad's telepathy!" Slade nodded, "Yes, I did that, why would I want the Teen Titans interrupting me? I chose the exact time you wouldn't have your communicator so you couldn't contact them."
He slammed his fists on the glass again, "They probably found out it was you anyway. You're gonna lose again. And what do you mean by 'help', you booger?" Slade laughed, "Still using kid language... typical." Goku powered up to Super Saiyan Level 1 out of anger, "Well, DUH! I AM A KID!" Slade paid no attention. Goku slid back down on the wall while powering down at the same time. "You numskull"

They all sat on the couch, thinking of where Slade might be. Raven threw her arms up, "Heck, he might even be in a different city!!!" Suddenly, the large screen flickered on, revealing a happy (in that evil way) Slade. Travis jumped up, "What did you do with Goku?" Slade spoke, "Travis, she is unharmed, you shouldn't worry." He stepped aside to reveal the tube Tonks was captive in. Redfire powered up to a level 2 Super Saiyan out of pure rage. "Let. Him. Go." Jinx walked over to her boyfriend to calm him down. Slade laughed and said, "Oh, she won't get hurt. Not if she cooperates. All I need is help." He signed off. Travis threw his Gaia Blade into the wall, which went through it. "Damn!"

Goku called, "Oi, Slade!" Slade looked up from some contraption. He asked curiously, "What does 'help' mean? You never told me." Slade looked back at the thing he was making, "It means I'm making you my apprentice." Goku snorted, "Like I would do that." Slade said, "You are very much like your parents. Jinx, determined to do good despite her previous criminal past, Redfire, a better comic relief than Beast Boy and hero of the Multiverse." Goku punched the glass again.
10 minutes later…
Goku asked, "What're ya making anyway." He didn't answer. Goku kicked the glass again.
30 minutes later…
Slade got up from his desk and he was holding a small metal device. And a cupcake. Goku was asleep. Slade slid the device into the cupcake and carefully placed the cupcake in the tube and screwed the top back shut and locked it.
He knocked on the glass and the captive woke with a start and rubbed his eyes. The smell of the pastry reached his nose, "Sweet, a cupcake." He peeled the wrapped off and swallowed it whole.
Goku's eyes suddenly widened. Slade smiled. He exclaimed, "I hate coconut!" Slade said, "You will follow my orders, no matter what." Goku snorted, "Right. Like that'll ever happen." Slade smiled, "Oh, but it will." He pressed a small button on his suit. Goku started glowing orange. His body was filled with such intense burn and pain, it made him fall to his knees, "The coconut probably did this to me." Slade threw his hands up, "No, I DID!" He took his hand off of the button, "That will happen when you disobey me." Goku slammed his fist on the glass again, "Crud."
Goku emerged from the dressing room. He was wearing something similar to Terra's apprentice uniform; only it had somewhat of a green tinge to it. His black hair was now short, above his shoulders, with orange highlights in it. Slade's colors. Goku mumbled, "I hate you."
