Chapter 5 new clients
Robin's POV
I wondered about my friends, it was so weird being back… well it wasn't home, it was dirty and grotty. But it had Slade, god it had Slade, I wondered about that a fair bit I mean I joined Slade because of the probes.
I close my eyes; I was sitting at a table with text books, in my apprentice uniform Wade was with me, but he was reading the paper, but it wasn't the real paper every day someone makes a fake one, well half a fake one, some real stories some fake ones and gives it to Wade, don't ask me why it makes him happy.
"What's the weather next week?" I ask forcing myself not to laugh, Slade sucks at predicting the weather, why he doesn't just give him the real weather I will never know, anyway one day Slade wrote the weather will be sunny so Wade wore a singlet and shorts and it rained and rained and rained, and poor old Wade who went out later to buy food, got wet and then got sick. I felt sorry for Wade but it was sort of funny.
My master was in a meeting with a villain at the moment, I wondered why I didn't go, I mean … I was his apprentice and I have to learn, how will I learn reading books… I have never met this villain that Slade is seeing before apparently he has a daughter, and he brought her! That's right the apprentice gets left at home but he brings his daughter… ok to be fair I think he brought her for a play date with Bree, Bree will like having a friend, I think she's only ever had well me… and let's face it I'm not so great company, Wintergreen loves her very much. My studies were interrupted by a very, very ,very loud yell of someone I think is my Master. It wasn't hard to mistake actually.
"IT WILL INTERFERE WITH HIS TRAINING." My master screamed he then walked in; well he sort of stormed in, while breaking the door. I look at Wade he didn't cope well…. When things break, or smash or people yell there voice at once my hypothesis was proven correct and Wade was at once was terrified, I don't blame him the bloke should be very concerned about the fact a solid reinforced door was broken into very small pieces.
"I WANT IT." I heard it a female voice but not Bree her voice is sweet kind, this voice was high demanding. I look at Slade he was in his mask, I don't blame him, whoever the bloke is making normally calm Slade break a door, is not a good sign. Wade started crying in his chair, covering his face with the half real newspaper.
"Robin come," he said after being quite a few seconds, he turned to the crying man, Slade didn't yell hit or kick him. I wondered if I would of I mean… Wade is in the way, and as I channel Slade
"It's all right Wade, see I'm not mad, come here," Wade obeyed and he got hugged, Slade took off his mask "Is that ok," wade nodded curled up on his chest, "I am sorry I scared you, big brother didn't mean too. I need you to go to your room now," it took several minutes to calm Wade down. I felt sorry for him sure, but what was I to do? Slade held actually held him in his arms I cuddle my father's waist. It was so different, but I like it; being a child. Slade kissed my brow he kissed my cheeks, but kept nursing wade. He was so scared. It reminded me of a small scared child. Suddenly a thought of Slade cuddling his brother made me laugh… a lot. "What's with you?" Slade enquired I almost laugh until I saw the shocked looks I was receiving.
"Sorry Master" I said, in a soft tone he then laughed. It wasn't like the night I became his apprentice it was soft and gentle, Slade put me on his lap and tickled me. I couldn't help it I laughed as well; "Wade" I manage but how I did that shocked even me, "hellppp meeee" I laugh, Wade nodded and then tickled my feet. I laugh so much, it could nearly of been classified as a punishment unless Slade was laughing too.
"That's enough I do have a client waiting," Slade said releasing me, I didn't know why he tickled me he doesn't scare me at all; he scared Wade yes, but not the big strong apprentice. Wade on the other hand… is not the man he use to be, when I returned to Bruce I heard stories on Wade but it made no sense to tell Bruce he was still alive there wasn't much left of Wade anyway, I doubt he would COPE being away from Slade. "Wade I want to get up and see the client." Wade was hugging Slade so much he was fidgeting to get air. Like I saw Wade was scared of being away from Slade and in a way I understood it, Slade was protection, nothing bad will happen to Wade as long as he was with Slade, Wade was no longer muscular he wasn't underfed but he was narrower he looked calmer. I was snatched but to reality of Wade crushing Slade even without his muscles he was still strong and seeing Slade fidget was well… it was very funny, Slade laughed as well when he got free, he smiled at me and then we went out of the room, Wade walked to his room I watched Wade he sat on his bed and started to play his play station. He gave me a smile,
"See you soon Uncle Wade," he smiled. As he always did;
"Be careful" was all he said, I nodded and left
When we entered the throne room, I saw Bree smothering and a blonde girl across from her was glaring at her that is never a good sign.
