I have to say that chapter 8 is my all time favorite

Amazing story! The tension is so high. I keep cracking up though bc if this were a crack fic, Robin could acknowledge that Slade was in his head and use the opportunity to annoy the living daylights out of him.

This chapter was awesome! Perfect moments between Star and Robin! Looking forward to reading the rest of the story - you write this so well!

Malchior was one of the most powerful villains the Teen Titans faced. As a wizard, he was able to manipulate Raven into freeing him by convincing her of his sincerity. As a dragon, he easily overpowered 4 of 5 titans with sheer brute strength, casually tossing aside Beast Boy's T-rex form. Like Trigon, he was mostly defeated by his own arrogance. Shame such a powerful villain was forgotten so quickly.

I wasn't really convinced Slade was a hallucination. He really was there. How could Robin be doing any of those things to himself?

Robin may have hallucinated Cyborg

Maybe Slade is Robin himself, from the future.

Slade probably threw him into the mirror

did Slade push Robin into a mirror

I'm not afraid of needles. Just as long as a trained professional is the one administering the shot

Cyborg is the expert in charge of all the computers, defense system, and hospital equipment in the tower. Without him, the team would quickly collapse. Robin might be able to keep things running for a while but Starfire, Raven, and Beast Boy would not have a clue.

How did the Titans acquire the financial capital to build and maintain their headquarters? Does the taxpayer fund them? Robin hides his identity so he obviously cannot be employed. Cyborg might teach part-time as a PE instructor. Raven, Starfire, and Beast Boy are definitely unemployed. Starfire and Raven aren't from this earth so they would struggle to get around. Beast Boy is just a lazy goofing bum who doesn't want to work. So it's probably either a combination of Bruce Wayne and the city's taxpayer dollars funding the Titans.

Cloaking technology?

An astral projection of Slade perhaps

Maybe Slade truly was there.

reading this story before experiencing a mental breakdown and after changed the experience...a LOT. still a really great fic

im rereading this story 8 years later and it still holds up. except now i'm stressed as FUCK , cant remember if i was this stressed the first time i read it. i was chewing my nails and shaking when he was about to give himself a spinal tap, like someone please come take this boy to a therapy session.
