Hello all... I know its been awhile. But I'm kinda back. To be honest I've been slowly editing and uploading this to Ao3. I'm gonna try to keep uploading here but yer best bet is to head on over to Ao3. I go under the same name and the fic is still Live what you Learn.

Thanks again for all the favorites and the love throughout the years.

NOW ON WITH THE STORY!

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

"Metropolis?" Robin rolled his eyes.

"Yes." was all the mastermind had said before moving towards the helicopter. "I need to speak with an old ally of mine."

The former boy wonder crossed his arms as he followed. "I'm putting my bets on Lex Luther." Slade ignored the former hero has he began to load up some luggage. But Robin continued regardless. "I mean who else could it be?"

"There is a variable of options but you would be correct in your assumption." the mastermind had placed the last of the suitcases and bags into the helicopter before he turned to face his young apprentice. "Luther is a old 'friend' of sorts. There is a few things we need to discuss including the news of your little run in with the Titan. It will surely make its rounds through not only the underworld, but will eventually come to light with the Justice league as well. Everyone on either side will know something is wrong although they all won't know quite what yet."

Robin crossed his arms. "Not my fault Hot Spot came to explore."

"I never said it was."

"Sir." one of Slade's men approached the duo. "We are good to go for take off."

"Thank you." was all the criminal said as he dismissed the young soldier before his singular eye found Robin once again. "Lets get going." Robin could only nod in return.

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Slade was not just moving his apprentice to a different location, he was also taking a few men with him as well. Three helicopters left that base that day and Asif was on one of them. The rest of the base would mobilize and be ready for whatever may come, as he was certain so would the rest of Slade's operation. But Asif didn't care about the all mighty Deathstroke. No, the only one he could call friend out here was Robin, and even that friendship was shaky at best. But he had made some progress reobtaining what was once lost.

Asif couldn't shake the feeling that something wasn't right however. They left Berlin behind so quickly and now... he didn't know what was going on. Everything seemed like a sudden shift and to be honest he still wasn't over Sariel. He had no clue if even her superiors knew about her death, although they most likely did... How her boss would be so heart broken. He felt a bit guilty for just leaving it all behind, but one had to survive. Maybe he really was only good at betraying people? He tried to shake the thoughts away as quickly as they came.

Still though even in his grief, Asif couldn't stop thinking of the events that had transpired. They hadn't seen any sightings of the ben Elohim in a few weeks now. But he figured being on a fully armed private island may have something to do with that. But the questions remained. Where was Aurora? What was her next step? She never truly obtained what she wanted... She just left, she... Asif's eyes went wide for a moment. Robin still had the legacy. Aurora never got it back. The questions began to claw even deeper at his mind. What was the Legacy? Truly? What had Sariel found in her late night investigations?

He sighed and rubbed his temple. If Robin still had the legacy, then they may see Aurora very soon.

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

"I think its time." The duo were airborne, one sitting across from the other as they always have.

"Time for what?" Robin answered a bit confused. He looked at his master with a tinge curiosity in his eyes.

But Slade found himself looking over the waves as they flew over the vast unending ocean. He knew the boy may not want to follow through with his request, but he would push the topic further if he must. He never brought it up before mind you, but he figured now was good a time as any to mention it. "You may not agree, but I think it is indeed time."

Robin crossed his arms. "Ok... time fooor?"

The mastermind never moved but for his singular eye that now rested on the boy, "A name change."

Robin shifted and he glanced away from his master to the view below them. Slade knew the boy didn't like the idea. "It doesn't have to be right away. Perhaps for now still going by the name of Robin is a good thing, stir the pot as they say. But in time you will need to change it."

The former hero sighed, "Yea I know its just... I've never gone by anything else."

"Think on it, you have time."

"Well" Robin shrugged. "I guess I'm open for suggestions. Just nothing stupid ok?"

"Meaning?"

Robin laughed. "You know how many villains I fought with the most ridiculous names?"

Slade smirked, "And do you know how many hero's I've tackled with absurd names? There is always someone in this game that decides to call themselves something ridiculous. And that goes for this side to."

Robins chuckled was still evident, "You mean like 'Deathstroke'? By the way I've always wanted to ask, do you like Halloween or something?" The smile was still plastered on the boys lips. If Robin was still a Titan he would of rubbed the smug look off of his face in no time. He was thankful things were different now. "Have you been talking to Will?"

The boy snorted and answered with a soft "No." that was mixed in with a giggle. At that point he knew Will and him had some sort of conversation at one point during their stay on the island. Will probably lightly made fun of him to get the boy to ease into his company. And it seemingly worked, like it normally did for for his friend. Slade relaxed into his seat. He didn't envision this when he set out to make Robin his apprentice but he would accept it all the same.

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

It had been how long? What day was it? Hell, what year was it even? She couldn't even open her eyes and every time this happened she began to panic and then she felt a sharp prick and then... nothing. Black. A constant void. She briefly wondered if the deal had gone sour? Was she still there, under all that rubble? What did she die for... Die? Did she die? When? How? She couldn't remember. If she died how was she here... wherever here was.

She didn't like this.

Any of this.

"Ja, she is coming along fine."

She knew that voice, but from where? Who? Why did it scare her?

"She just needs a little more time."

It was a man and he had a accent, but shouldn't place it. What was going on? Where was she? What happened? She began to panic again and then the sharp prick that she knew so well let her fall in a void of nothing once again.

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

The flight was roughly around four hours give or take. They had landed and once Robin stepped out he felt rather odd being back in America. It was almost as if he didn't know what to do with himself, and it wasn't the idea of going to Superman's city that was so imposing but the general feeling of being home. Normally he'd be happy. But now... now it just felt odd. Robins eyes wandered around the base. It was a smaller one then the island, but not as small as the one in the woods. It seemed a lot of the men Slade brought with him were to be stationed here and the facility on the island was used to train them. He wondered again how far Slade's influence truly reached.

"I have the base ready to receive the men and your friend, Asif will be taken care of here. You and I however, will be staying in one of my safe houses in the city. Tomorrow we go see Luther. I have a feeling we'll be here for a bit while we sort things out."

"Alright" Robin shrugged. "This is going to be strange."

"How so?" Slade lead the way to a nice sleek black car. He supposed this would be their transportation to the safe house. And Robin wondered for a moment if Slade had a thing for fast cars before answering him. "Only had interactions with him from one side of the fence."

"Well then I suppose tomorrow you'll gain some intel on Lex Luther that you never knew before. This is a change I understand, one you'll have to get used to."

"I understand, I don't have a problem with that its.. just strange is all."

Slade nodded and began walking towards the car. "Lets get going, its still a long drive and I rather get some dinner before my favorite place closes."

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
