Challenge from livejournal to write one hundred drabbles, chapter or what have you describing Terra and Slade's relationship. Rating shifts between PG and M, but mostly in the PG-13 area... Are you still there? New chapter :D

8. Greed

TITLE: Apprentice or Tool
FANDOM: Teen Titans
PAIRING: Slade/Terra
PROMPT: Prompt #055. Greed
RATING: G
WORD COUNT: 100
SUMMARY: What does Slade really want; an apprentice or a tool?
NOTES: No real setting. This is another personal 100 word challenge.
DISCLAIMER: I don't own anything related to anything I mention here!

Terra is naïve, but not so much that she doesn't realize what Slade's really after.

He says he wants to help her, but she knows he wants her power, untamed and raw.

The only thing he admires in her is the way her energy shows…when her eyes squint and turn gold, the way her fists clench; they are futile attempts to control her energy, and Slade isn't fooled.

Once she has her control back, he exerts his, and she is no longer her own person. Terra's fears are confirmed when Slade uses wires and metal to make her a tool.
