Live what you Learn

Chapter 1

A/N: Ok so I've always loved the dynamic between Robin and Slade, and was sad that there was no Sladenes in the final season except for the last episode. The whole fanfic however is a bit of a dare. I don't usually do fanfic unless it's stupid little shorts, but this guy is going to be long one. Please please review.

Summary: The Brotherhood of Evil has captured Robin. The Titans have lost their leader, and now they struggle to regain control. With all these events going on Slade spots the perfect opportunity to regain what was once his. The Perfect Apprentice.

-Prologue-

He gritted his teeth. How had they lost? To a brain in a jar no less? The Brotherhood had captured him and the other Titans. "No!" his mind reeled. They had recruited enough people to fight along side them, or so he thought. But now looking back, it didn't seem like enough. Was it ever? Maybe they were just fooling themselves? Thinking that they could go up against these so called world class villains. "No." he thought. "We've bested better." It was true. They had saved the world several times over, from Hell itself even, and now how the tables had turned on them.

Robin wanted to scream, he wanted to deck out the so called jar head of a genius and the ape. He wanted to run, to break free from these bonds. But there was no way he could leave. Not when all his teammates were surrounding him, bound in chains or worse, frozen. And Robin knew he was next in line to join them. So he stood there, watching the Brains plan come to fruition. Still, in this time of peril, when his death seemed ever approaching, his mind was tinkering with ideas of how to get around this, how to come out the victor.

"It is time Robin, for you to join your friends."

"You wont' get away with this!" he snarled. Things had gone from bad to worse in an instant. If he was frozen who would lead the team? There was still many of his allies left standing. Although, things did indeed seem far more dire now. They surely needed him. And if it came down to it, then Cyborg. However, his second in command was no were to be found. Which gave him hope, but also made him not want to dwell on what could of happened to his friend. Shaking those thoughts out of his head, he reminded himself that he may be their prisoner for now, but he was still here and that's what mattered. If he was going to do something, he ought to do it now. If he got frozen, and with Cyborg MIA at the moment... he wasn't sure he'd like the outcome.

"That is were you are wrong, for I already have."

"Your wrong Brain, there is more of us then you know, someone will stop you." Robin glared at his foe. Then turned his attention to the guard that had come to retrieve him. He would fight this, he had to. The dread crept up onto the Boy Wonder, but he wouldn't let it win. He'd face this dead on.

As a few guards came to collect the hero, Robin put up a bit of a struggle. They were able to stop him, and with his hands restricted behind his back, Robin was pushed forward which forced him to walk ahead of the three men, all pointing guns at his back. The Hero frowned at the outcome. "Think Richard, think!" was all his mind kept repeating. He'd have to wait for the right moment. Until then, he would have to plan something.

-Meanwhile deep under Paris-

He had been watching the Titans since day one. Capturing all their victories and all there defeats on camera. But even when defeated, the Titans always jumped back. But this time it truly seemed like the end for his apprentice's little team.

Oh yes, Robin was still his apprentice in his mind. No one could ever take the teenagers place. The boy was just to perfect. He held so much potential. And even though he got away the first round, his teachings for the young boy never stopped. Terra, The dust in the mask, all preparations for just the right moment.
