CHAPTER ONE

"You're not going to do this Slade." Robin hissed at the villain.

"And who's going to stop me?" The man mocked. "You?" And he laughed in his face. Robin, with his anger management problems, raced towards Slade trying to hit him with his bo-staff. As if he was eating, Slade simply dodged the oncoming attack and tripped the Boy Wonder. "Face it Robin, you can't beat me, you never could." He laughed again.

Robin got up off the floor and cried as he charged the adult. It was on. In swift movements they attacked and dodged one another. Robin kicked out with his steel toed boots for the iron masked face. Slade punched Robin in the gut multiple times. Robin swung the staff at his chest. Slade stomped his foot down on the teen. Back and forth. Back and forth. They didn't stop even when Robins' leg broke. Even when he was confined to the floor, he did all he could to stop the man before him.

"You truly are pathetic. When will you learn that you have been defeated?" Slade questioned kicking his stomach, throwing him 15 feet across the room.

"What d-do you... want." Robin sputtered, spitting blood that pooled in his mouth.

"Want?" His eye widen dramatically. "What have I always wanted Robin?" He asked waiting for an answer. "Com'on Robin, I know you know the answer." Slade mocked.

Robin was too out of breath to answer, so instead he just glared.

"Sad. You'd expect after... how many has it been? 5? 6?" He tilted his head to the side, waiting for an answer.

"Why do you even keep count?" A new, female, and yet familiar voice sounded in the room. The person came out of the shadows that hid her surprisingly very well and stood a few feet away in a fighting stance. "If you keep count, your brain is going to explode from over usage." She hissed at the masked man.

"Now, now Raven, haven't you ever been told to keep your words to yourself?" He mocked.

"Oh, I'm sorry sir, but I was never taught how to be nice. I'll keep it in mind for next time." She gave an innocent look before sliding back into a fighting stance.

In the background a faint 'What do you think you're doing!' was sounded by Robin.

Without a word the two charged at each other, giving a kick and a block each, Raven was forced back a few yards. Thus giving Slade just enough time to press a random button that he has on his arm. Nothing happened.

"SLADE WHAT DID YOU DO!" The ever yet annoying Robin commented on the villains actions.

Raven threw a blast of her powers at the man who side stepped it in automatic reaction. Before he could even realize what he had just done it was too late. A large black hole started to grow in the middle of the three, dragging them in.

Into the darkness.
