Ch. 10-Dangerous Love

(Robin's POV)

It was a long time before I finally decided to slowly make my way back to Slade's headquarters. My arm was still sore, but I knew that would be a lame excuse for my absence. The whole way back to the hideout, I tried to think of any plausible story that would excuse me, but every time I began to think, it wasn't about plans. It was about Jay. Her words of fear and promise kept spinning around inside me. And the fact that she had refused to share her connection to Slade with me just made me even more curious.

Before I knew it, I was at the entrance to the headquarters I had learned to call home. Swiftly jumping off the nearby rooftop I was perched on, I landed almost gracefully onto the rooftop of the hideout. Shoving debris aside, I found the hidden entrance and dove into the small but still spacious hole. In no time at all, I had landed on the floor in Slade's control room.

At first I thought that I might have dropped in when Slade wasn't home. However, as I did a quick sweep of the room, I saw the door swing open, with my master behind it.

"Robin!" Slade's cry echoed throughout the room as he hurried over to me. "Are you alright, my boy?"

"Yeah," I attempted to make my voice sound weak. "Sorry I couldn't get here any sooner. I was fighting with that girl."

"I'm sorry I couldn't have been any help to you," Slade replied, his eyes narrowing at my limp arm. "But my hands were full with your former mentor."

Cringing ever so slightly at the mention of Bruce, I nodded my head. "Did you…

"No," Slade knew what I was asking. "The Titans arrived, so I made a quick escape, hoping to find you and flee back here. When I saw you weren't on the rooftop that Jay threw you onto, I began to search for you. There weren't any clues to your whereabouts however, and I worried when I came back and saw the huge pool of blood on the roof."

"Oh, that was when I gave Jay a bloody nose," I tried to sound proud of myself, even though inside I couldn't have felt any angrier with my actions. My problems were with the Titans and Batman; not Jay.

"That's my boy," Slade ruffled my hair. For a moment, everything was alright, and I even caught myself smiling. But then I thought of Jay. How she clung to me, desperately begging for me to leave Slade. How her eyes flowed with tears at just the mention of him. The question rang through my head again.

Just what did Slade do?

TTTTTTTTTTTTT

(Beast Boy's POV)

"Jay, would you care to-

No, that's not right.

"Hey girl, why don't you go out with-

No, Jay would be insulted.

"Jay, I think it would be best if we were to-

No, I couldn't say that either!

Groaning in frustration, I leaned my head against the wall outside Jay's bedroom. If my fear of asking girls out wasn't enough, I was trying to ask out possibly the toughest, smartest, prettiest girl I knew.

The fight with Mad Mod had been quick. We were fighting as a team again. We were fighting together. Sure, it wasn't the same without Robin, but it was close. So very, very close. That fight had reminded us of the good old days, and now, it was pretty clear that all of us would do anything to get Robin back. Slade might have the villains at his side, but we had the heroes by ours. And I knew one hero that I always wanted by my side, from the minute she saved me from Gizmo.

*Okay,* I told myself. *You'll be fine. She won't turn you down. She won't turn you down! Just march up to that door and say-

"Beast Boy?"

Nearly falling to the ground, I whipped around, startled to see Jay standing behind me with a soda in her hand.

"But I thought…in room…soda…" Beast Boy began to speak incoherently as his cheeks turned red.

"I went to get something to drink," Jay cocked an eyebrow. "Can I help you with something?"

"Oh um…not really," Beast Boy mumbled, looking down at his feet. "Well maybe…I actually wanted to…if you're not busy…"

"Beast Boy," Jay interrupted. Dreading to see the annoyed look on Jay's face, I glanced up to find her…smiling at me?

"What is it, Beast Boy?" Jay asked gently.

Taking a deep breath, I spoke.

"Wellifyou'…yeah…"

"Oh," Jay's eyes widened. My heart was thudding in my chest, and all I wanted to do was crawl into a hole. What was I thinking, asking Jay out? I barely knew her, and she barely knew me. Jay didn't seem like the kind of girl who would go out with people she didn't really know at all. Plus, who would want to go out with-

"Alright," Jay smiled again.

"Yeah I figured you would say that, I'm sorry let me just-wait, did you say yes?"

Jay only nodded her head as her grin widened.

TTTTTTTTTTT

(Slade's POV)

"Now I want you to be in the training room in fifteen minutes," I ordered Robin as we made our way back to his room. "You and I have some catching up on training to do, young man."

Robin nodded enthusiastically. Poor kid, he probably just wanted to beat up something after fighting with Reyna. Although I hadn't asked Robin yet, something told me he didn't win that fight. Otherwise he would have mentioned it. That wasn't to say he lost, but I knew how Robin got whenever he didn't win, even if it meant a tie. Training with the boy would let him get some stress out.

*Reyna,* I pondered angrily. *That child is going to be the end of me.*

My hand reached into the very back pocket of my utility belt. Slowly unclipping the pocket, my hand grasped the thin paper I had looked at so many times. Pulling my arm back in front, I stared at the small photo.

It was an old photograph; taken at least forty years ago. I almost caught myself smiling when I wiped the dust off of it, revealing the two faces in the picture. One of the faces was my own, handsome and young, without my mask on. The other belonged to the only woman that ever truly held my heart. A woman that undoubtedly resembled Reyna, with long orange hair, a strong athletic body, and sharp eyes.

"Evangeline," I whispered, just as an alarm went off on my arm. Pressing a button on the control panel on my arm, I saw that one of my cameras had picked up Reyna and Beast Boy making their way toward the pier. Alone.

My eyes glanced back toward the hallway that Robin had just disappeared down, and then back to my arm. Part of me really wanted to stay with Robin, but another part of me was desperate to put an end to Reyna's trouble. I needed to send that girl a message to stay away from Jump. To stay away from the Titans. And to stay away from Robin.

TTTTTTTTTTT

Fifteen minutes later, Robin came down the hallway to find a note on the door to the training room, reading:

I'll be back soon. Old business again.


Ooh…Slade's getting down to business! Aw okay so the date scene was really cute to write, I'm really liking Beast Boy and Jay! Thanks again for your opinions, you guys are really inspiring me, believe it or not!

So…

Question 3:

Would you rather have Jay fight Slade and more of her history be revealed or Beast Boy have a revenge fight with Slade for trying to hurt Jay just like he hurt Terra?
