Ch. 5-Reyna
(Jay's POV)
"Hello barf brain," I teased the annoying onesie kid. Immediately his eyes went wide and his mouth fell open. Smirking, I squeezed his leg and threw him across the room toward his High Five buddies. However, it appeared that the kid wasn't as completely powerless as he seemed. As he was flying through the air, he managed to whip out his mechanical wings and began to fly straight toward me.
*No matter,* I told myself. *He's in the air. My domain.*
TTTTTTTTTTT
"Sir, Jay has arrived," Mad Mod reported, just as the view of the room of the technology popped onto the main screen of the control room. All the villains stopped what they were doing to catch a glimpse of this mystery girl; this enigma.
"Back to your stations," Slade snapped, his eyes never leaving Jay's figure as she flipped through the air easily and fought Gizmo without the slightest break of sweat. No matter how fast Gizmo flew or how many objects he threw at her, nothing was touching the girl.
In a way, she reminded Slade of a boy that was sleeping soundly only a few hundred feet away.
"Sir, she's defeated Gizmo and freed Beast Boy!" Mad Mod's startled cry interrupted Slade's deep train of thought.
"What?" Slade shouted, his eyes furiously devouring the image of Beast Boy and Jay fighting Mammoth and Jinx and winning.
"Hook me up to Jinx," Slade commanded. Soon, a little button lit up next to him, indicating the ear piece in Jinx's ear was connected to his microphone.
"Jinx," Slade hissed as he continued to watch the battle, "stop playing around and finish her!"
"I can't!" Jinx yelled from the other end. "She's impossible to hit!"
As she said this, Jay flipped over Jinx's head and grabbed the Hive student's collar, throwing her up into the air. Slade watched in outrage as Jinx landed on the balcony and didn't get back up.
"Jinx," Slade ordered. "Get. Up. Now!"
"Slade," Jinx moaned as she attempted to get up, but only managed to stand weakly for a few moments before dropping to the ground.
Slade continued to eye the screen as he saw Jay walk over to Jinx while Beast Boy took care of Mammoth. His eye widened as he saw Jay pick Jinx up and rip the ear piece from her ear. But the button was still on. Whoever this girl was, Slade could talk to her. He could figure out just who she really was.
TTTTTTTTTTT
(Jay's POV)
Turning over the small ear piece in my fingers, I eyed the titanium steel and unmistakable S emblem that covered the device.
"Jay," a cool, commanding voice came from the piece.
"Slade," I hissed, forcing my grip not to tighten too hard that I crushed the device.
"You've certainly made quite an impression," Slade's voice crackled from the other end.
"Nothing compared to your impression," I snapped back, noticing the deep anger in my voice. Slade noticed it too.
"You seem to already hate me," the man's voice mocked. "And yet you haven't even met me."
This last statement made me stop short. Did Slade not remember me? Me? I didn't look that different…did I?
*Although the last time he saw me was five years ago,* I reasoned. But still, Slade didn't seem like the kind of person to forget apprentices.
"You don't remember me, do you?" I finally spoke.
"Should I?" I could hear the thin layer of confusion that slightly coated Slade's nonchalant response. No, he didn't remember me.
But that didn't make sense. I didn't look that much different. So maybe my hair had turned a bit more…orange in his absence, and maybe I was wearing a mask, and maybe I had gotten a lot taller…but it was SLADE!
Slade's lack of knowledge suddenly made me smile. I couldn't help as a giddy grin spread across my lips. Slade didn't remember me. And if he didn't remember me, then he couldn't have been keeping tabs on me…which meant he didn't know what I was now capable of.
"I don't believe it," I mumbled. Slade must have been watching me, because his voice suddenly was coated with anger.
"What's with the grin…girl," he hissed.
Looking at the ear piece in my hand, my smile widened.
"Aw, what's the matter, don't remember my name?" I teased. I couldn't help it. This small amount of power over Slade was making me high.
"Enough of this!" I could only imagine Slade banging his fist on the table. "Who ARE you?"
"Your little girl," I hissed, crunching the device in my hand before Slade could issue a reply.

(Robin's POV, about an hour or so later)
As I slowly opened my eyes, I cringed at the small flash of pain that flared through my arm.
*How long have I been out?* I wondered, as I slowly sat up in my bed. Suddenly the memories of before rushed through my mind, forcing to relive my painful training experience. Head in my hands, I moaned as I realized the punishment that was probably in store for me.
The door opened, only strengthening my fear. As Slade walked in and shut the door behind him, I felt for sure he could hear my heart beating through my chest.
"Robin," Slade spoke. Was that a hint of surprise in his voice? No, it couldn't be. "How are you doing?"
"I'm alright," I replied. "My arm hurts though...
"Medication," Slade responded. "For your injuries during our previous training session."
"Oh...okay," I smiled, glad to see Slade wasn't angry enough to let me suffer.
"It's your free time," Slade announced, throwing me my street clothes. "You remember the rules?"
"Of course," I said as I grabbed the clothes from the air out of reflex. "Don't get caught and don't talk to the Titans."
Something told me Slade was smiling under his mask. The man bent down and put his hands on my shoulders.
"That's right, Robin," Slade replied. "And you won't ever disobey those rules, correct? You won't ever disobey me, right?"
There was a small sense of hesitation that flared, but it was only for a second. I would always serve Slade. He was, of course, my master.
"I will always serve you," I told Slade. After hearing this, Slade pulled me into his chest, embracing me in a...hug?
"That's my boy."
Okay, okay, I'm REALLY sorry I haven't been able to update sooner! So many things happened (including a computer crash .) but I have it up now! Enjoy and pretty please review!
