Chapter 6-

Raven-

The next day was a living hell for all of us. Starfire stayed in her room after she heard Robin tell me that he loved me, Beastboy wasn't joking around at all, not even a cheer up joke. Cyborg was on the computer all day trying to find where Slade had Robin. We had all known that unless it was his last option Slade would never kill Robin. I was in my room trying to talk to Robin, when I finally got through.

"Robin where are you?"

"Raven? I don't know. I'm strapped down to a hospital bed."

"Does Slade know you're awake?"

"No after I told him to go to hell and lost conciseness I haven't opened my eyes. I just thought you were talking to me like you did when you saved me from myself."

That's what I'm doing."

"Yeah I know. Look about when I kicked Cyborg. I totally didn't mean to."

"Then what did you mean to do Robin?"

"Raven you have to understand. The uniform Slade is making me where has a more enhanced neural interface on a totally different level. I even heard Slade saying something about making sure there would never be a way to defy him again."

"So Slade kicked Cyborg through you using an enhanced neural interface, I can believe that. Cyborg is busy looking for you. Kind of like the method you used to search for Slade."

"Tell him what happened and if he's going to try to save me to make it quick. I don't know how long I can stay with Slade without losing whatever sanity I have left. Uh oh Slade's coming talk to you later."

"Robin before you go I want you to know something?"

"Can it wait he's kind of already standing next to me."

"I guess bye."

I went into the main room and walked over to where Cyborg was sitting at the computer mumbling something about getting back at Robin for kicking him. I cleared my throat and he turned around.

"How can I help you Raven?" Cyborg asked.

"Cyborg I just talked to Robin. He didn't kick you."

Cyborg smirked, "yeah it was just all of our imagination that Robin kicked me in the chest and sent me almost off the edge of the building."

I sighed, "Cyborg, it's not like that. Slade has an enhanced neural interface connected with Robin through his armor. Slade was controlling Robin when he kicked you. It was physically Robin but it was Slade's control."

Cyborg took the entire information in. "So how are we going to help him now if Slade can control him?"

"We have to figure out how deactivate the interface if we ever want Robin back and safe from Slade."

Robin-

Slade was standing next to me for five long uneasy minuets. When he finally stopped staring down at me, he pulled out a gun.

"You're not going to kill me Slade. You wouldn't want to lose your apprentice."

Slade chuckled and replied, "This won't kill you Robin. In fact it won't hurt a bit. That is if you don't struggle against me."

The fear in my eyes was suddenly completely visible. I started struggling violently against the straps, which I had finally managed to loosen up enough to give me room to maneuver. Slade chuckled at my efforts to escape and walked over to the side of my bed. He grabbed the strap closest to him and tightened it really hard. I cringed and he did that to the rest of my straps. If I could see his face I probably would him smiling every time I cringed. He put the gun to my head where my Cerebellum is located, but before he could fire it some thing in his pocket beeped. He walked out of the room to do whatever he needed to do. When he was gone, I started trying to loosen the straps again. Raven contacted me again while I was working the straps.

"Robin, is Slade still there?"

"No but I found out how he's planning to make sure I don't defy him again."

"How?!"

"He's going to shot me in the Cerebellum with a fancy thingy I don't know what is."

"OMG!!! Robin you need to get out of there."

"What do you think I'm trying to do? I had the straps loose and then Slade tightened them really hard. You wanted to tell me something earlier but I wouldn't let you what is it?"

"Yeah remember when you told me that you loved me?"

"How could I forget? I've been dying to tell you forever."

"I feel the same way about you. I wanted to tell you but then Slade grabbed you."

"Slade's back. Love you Raven but I need to go."

"Okay. I love you too."

Slade walked back in and undid my straps. I didn't hesitate once I was free to make a run for it. Unfortunately Slade anticipated what I was going to do and grabbed my arm the minuet I started to run. He yanked it really hard pulling me into him. He grabbed the front of my uniform and pulled me up to look at him.

"Did you really think I would undo your straps and let you run free?"

I glared at him, "No but it was worth a shot to try to get away from the likes of you."

Slade backhanded me in the face, "I wouldn't be to sure that you'll ever get out of here. You better get use to your new life because if not you'll be seeing a lot more of that table and those straps."

I stewed up spit in my mouth and then flung it at Slade's eye. It hit its target and Slade let me go. I took that moment to make a run for it. I ran down the halls still not having Slade's base memorized I didn't know how to find the exit. Lucky for me I was getting very lucky. I found the exit quickly and ran. I made a beeline for the Tower. I never made to my destination because Slade close-lined me and carried me back into his base. I squirmed and fought against him, but I couldn't break free. When I was back in the room I had run from I felt something prick my neck. This was getting annoying and old but as always I let the darkness consume me. Anything was honestly better then being forced to look or listen to Slade.
