Hello folks, as promised here is the inbetweenquel after my story Search for the Elementals. If you are reading this, and you haven't read that, don't worry, you don't really need to because the Elementals will not be appearing in this story. Some things may confuse you a little so you may find it beneficial to go and read it (it's really not that long). On a final note, I did not write this story. My friend Dragon wrote it, but because her computer has issues, she can't post it. I've done the editing, so if you find any grammatical errors, please bring it to my attention! We hope you like it!

The Spawn of Slade
Chapter 1
Project Apprentice
'Damn Elementals,' thought Slade and he fled from the battle scene, 'they're more
trouble than they're worth'. Battle scarred and bruised, Slade made his way down the
system of pipes and tunnels that was Jump City's sewage system. As he made his way through his underground lair, he swiftly thought up a plan on what to do now that the Titans had defeated him for the umpteenth time. He gazed upon an operation table in the far corner of the room where one of his first experiments lay dormant. 'I knew I should have gone through with the original plan, yes, it would have proved more time consuming and difficult, but Project Apprentice was a seemingly fool proof plan,' he thought to himself. Quickly moving across the room, he threw the shroud off his experiment, revealing what he had been working on for so many years. If Slade's true face was visible, he would have appeared to be grinning ear to ear."Just call me Dr. Frankenstein," said Slade as he gazed upon his creature.
Roughly 6 feet tall, Project Apprentice was a sight to behold. Possessing the same face as Slade, the creature had long greasy black hair, and a long slender body. His skin, unmatched in color, was covered in scars and stitches holding it together. Across his chest his skin had a green tint, on his right arm a light pale blue patch of skin covered his elbow. On his left arm a slightly brownish tan patch of skin covered his other elbow, everywhere else his skin was deathly pale. On his hands and lower half of his body, Slade placed clothing similar to his own, armor and all. In true Frankenstein fashion, Project Apprentice was tied down to the table with thick belts and was attached to many tubes and wires, which attached themselves to massive machines, all a glow with activity. A heart rate monitor was beating steadily, proving his creature to be alive.
Slade made his way over to the central computer. 'This will teach those damn
Titans,' thought Slade as he threw the main switch to bring his creature to life. With
sparks flying, and the few dismal lights in the lair flickering, Project Apprentice greeted life with an earth-shattering scream. Delighted with his victory, Slade made his way over to his creation.
"Welcome, my dear creation. Sorry to keep you waiting so long, but Robin's
skills were just, so intriguing to me, that I had to make an attempt at making him my
Apprentice." said Slade, clearly trying to plant the seed of hatred towards Robin in his creation's mind. Project Apprentice only replied with a cold stare and struggling to break free of his bondage.
Slade only stared back and decided that this would be a good time to take his
leave, saying, "I must be going now, I have no use for this lair or you at this present
time." With the seeds of malice and revenge firmly planted in Project Apprentice's mind, Slade slowly strolled out of his lab, leaving Project Apprentice, struggling to break free.
Finally breaking free of his bondage, Project Apprentice had no problem taking
the first few steps of his life. Finding the black shroud on the floor, which had been placed over him, while Slade assumed he was lying dormant, he placed it around his body, covering up his unsightly appearance. Picking up a staff his dear creator had left behind, he set out on his life's duty. Kill Robin.
