Slade sighed. Really?

"P-Please sir...take a-anything! M-My wallet, my purse, my jewelry...j-just don't shoot me!"

Slade looked down at the begging woman beneath him. He had gone into a simple diner where there were only three people inside. A old chef, a too perky waitress, and a man eating on the side. Slade purposely let the chef and man go so they could go get the Titans. He kept the woman as a hostage so the Titans would have to negotiate with him.

He lowered him pistol and shot the sobbing hysterical woman in the fatty part of her calf.

The woman screamed in pain and agony. Slade crouched beside her and tied a rope a few inches above the wound.

"There. That will stop any significant bleeding. Just stay where you are and wait for help to arrive, you'll be completely fine." Slade reassured without a care in his voice.

"Y-Y-You sh-shot me!" She sobbed.

"Hm." Slade said unamusedly.

"SLADE!" A young male voice growled.

Slade turned around. The Teen Titans.

"TITANS GO!" Robin yelled, charging.

Just as the team began going forward, Slade held up a remote and froze all of the heroes.

Slade smirked and began walking forward. He grabbed Robin by the neck of his costume and pulled him forward. He pressed another button on his remote and all of the Titans unfroze.

Starfire, Cyborg, Beast Boy and Raven all fell forward on the ground. Robin slumped forward in Slade's grasp.

Slade smirked under his mask and pressed another button on the remote. Suddenly a wave of smoke exploded and Slade and Robin vanished.
