Chapter 8-

Slade-

After I unstrapped Robin he ran for it. I didn't bother going after him. I didn't need to. Robin was part of a game and he was playing his part perfectly. I would get him back soon. Soon he would be my perfect apprentice.

Raven-

Robin and I hugged for a good long time then he broke away. I looked at him and he was smiling mischievously. I shook my head and walked out of my room.

"Raven do you want to learn how to make one of my favorite dinners?" Robin asked catching up with me.

"Sure Robin what is it?" I asked as we walked into the kitchen.

"You'll see. Come over here we'll make it for tonight." Robin said as he started pulling out ingredients for who knows what.

I laughed and we started making his masterpiece for dinner. I turned out to be a meat and tofu buffet complete with food that each of us enjoyed. After dinner we celebrated Robin's homecoming and prided him on how he managed to escape.

"Slade just let me go it was kind of weird." Robin told us truth or dare.

After the game was over Robin stayed and started to pick up the mess we had all left.

"Go to bed Robin I'll deal with this." I told him.

He shrugged it off and continued to clean up the floor. I sighed and helped him. When it was done he walked over to the computer and got on. I sighed again and walked over to him.

"What's on your mind?" I asked.

"I don't know. It just doesn't make sense why Slade let me go. I mean the first day he told me that nobody would help me this time, that he's made sure of it, but then why in the world would he just let me run out the door."

I put my arms around him. He was still wearing Slade's uniform because we couldn't figure out how to get it off. Slade had the armor attached to his body giving him access to Robin's nervous system. We were careful around him cause we didn't know if Slade would make him attack us.

Robin-

I stayed up late trying to figure out the mystery behind Slade. It wasn't like him to let me go when I knew he wanted me. I constantly tugged at the armor wanting so badly to take it off. With Slade he would deactivate it so I didn't have to sleep with it. But tonight it looked like that wasn't the case. I pulled an all-nighter trying to figure Slade's plans. By the time I decided to give it a rest it was morning and Cyborg and Beastboy were having their usual tofu meat battle. I walked in ignoring them and grabbed a cup of coffee. Beastboy and Cyborg stopped and looked at me.

"Dude I didn't know you drank coffee!" Beastboy shouted.

I shrugged. "There are a lot of things you don't know about me." I said as I finished my coffee and started down the hall. "I'll be in the gym training if you need me." I said.

In the gym I worked off my frustration on the dummy in there. Cyborg and I were working on a project for combat training, but it wasn't finished so I couldn't try it out. After a half hour I felt Raven in the room with me. I turned around to see her watching me.

"Don't you think that's a bad idea? I mean you really can't change clothes right now." She pointed out as I walked over to the bench to grab a drink.

I shrugged, "What's the point. If I can't change doesn't mean I should stop training." I told her. She walked over to mean and tried to pry the armor off. To both our surprise it came off. We looked at each other then I ran to my room to get changed. Slade had finally allowed the armor to let me change clothes. In my room I pulled off the revolting uniform and changed into some shorts. I then ran back down to the gym and started training again. Raven came in and sighed as she saw I went back to what I was doing.

"Want to join me?" I asked bowing like I was asking her to dance. She smiled and shook her head.

"Maybe another time. I'm just going to meditate over there." She pointed to the bench where I had a cooler of water bottles.

I laughed and went back to working out, forgetting about Slade for the moment. Right now everything was perfect.

A/N: ok this chapter doesn't explain much but I kind of wanted to do a little about how Robin doesn't get why Slade let him go. And then why Slade allowed the armor to come off. So please review and the more reviews I get the better I'll make the chapters.
