Chapter Two

Terra grimaced as she stared at her reflection in the mirror. A single, but ugly, cut caused by Robin's bird-a-rang, marred the pale skin on her face. Beneath it was a swollen purple bruise that Slade himself had rewarded his apprentice for her failure. Meeting her visible eye in the mirror, she au
An image of Slade's entire mask appeared in her mind. She winced and remembered returning from the fight, he had struck her down with one backhand hit. Glaring at her crumpled form on the floor with his single, visible eye.
[ "Why is it... that some can kill two birds with one stone," he murmured with false parental affection, absently stroking her stinging cut. "Yet you, who have all the stones at your disposal, cannot take down even one little robin?]
One 'little robin' indeed. Damn Robin. Why couldn't she defeat him? Destroying the other Teen Titans had been a freaking cakewalk compared to their leader. Who is, as far as she knew, an ordinary human being. He may have been the leader of the team, but he never had to deal with the ordeal of controlling an extremely dangerous power like her.
She couldn't give Slade a decent answer. Then again she hadn’t need to, as he stalked off and left her alone. Obviously pissed, but not just at Terra's failure. He seemed to be mad at something else. Perhaps it was because he thought knew Robin like the back of his metal-gloved hand. The Boy Wonder had done something unexpected, perhaps he was planning something, and Slade could not put his finger on what it was.
'Perhaps,' she wanted to shout out loud before Slade had left. 'Maybe you and Robin aren't as similar as you think.'
--------------------------
How long had he sat alone in the darkness of his cave? Robin did not know if it had been only minutes or hours. It was also deathly quiet. Not even the soft hum of his computers, as he had turned them off in order to conserve generator power. For all Robin knew, he could be living in this cave for a long, long time until he defeated Slade. Which wasn’t going to happen if he just sat there
Finally, he pulled himself up and out of the chair which had served as his bed these past few days. He hadn't had time to really explore the small the living area, apart of his hideout. He knew there were at least two bed rooms, one bathroom, and a tiny kitchenette. It was no Titan Tower, but of course, better than nothing.
After all, there was no way Robin could take residence anywhere else. Not with android armies marching the streets on patrol. The entire population of the city had evacuated and left their homes behind. Where they went, he didn't know.
They probably fled to other cities like Metropolis or Gotham. There were times when Robin had to sneak out to gather supplies. While avoiding the heavily armed non-human soldiers, he wondered if he should have left to.
But Robin knew that was an impossibility, and unforgivable. Abandoning Jump City would betrayal. This was his home, he may have resided in Gotham most of this life, but his fondest memories had been at Titan Tower. In this city. With his friends.
[ Yo, Rob! Come on, let's go cruisin' in the T-Car and get some pizza! ]
[ We are going to journey to the mall of shopping. You must join us, Robin! ]
[ Hey dude, the new movie: "Attack of the Booger Aliens" is finally out! We gotta go see it tonight! ]
[ Please, tell me we're not going to see a movie with the word "Booger" in the title. ]
With a deep growl of frustration, Robin kicked his chair across the room. Wishing it was Slade he could unleash his fury on. God dammit. Even an android replica of Slade would have been enough.
Turning away in disgust, the Boy Wonder headed towards the living quarters. He was hungry and tired, yet he doubted he could let himself rest. If Slade learned of this hideout somehow, he would have to evacuate immediately. To where, he didn't know, but he’d think of that later.
Switching on the lights, Robin quickly shielded himself from somgry gry bats who weren't pleased as the light disturbed their sleep. 'Think they own the place.'
The kitchenette seemed smaller than before. Walk-in closets in the Tower bedrooms, were bigger than this. There was two small counters along the wall that had held a mini fridge, a microwave, an electric stove, and a sink.
One wall alone had been the pantry, where he had stocked rations and some food utensils upon his arrival. The current food supply consisted of what he could gather himself. Inside the fridge was a few bottles of milk, some of Starfire's edible leftovers, and Beast Boy's tofu chicken nuggets. In the pantry, there was also a couple twelve-packs of root-beer and about three cases of canned SpaghettiOs.
Using one of his bird-a-rangs as a can opener, he plopped his dinner in a tupperware container and let it cook in the microwave. God, he already missed going out for pizza. Especially pizza with the rest of the team. SpaghettiOs and cheesy macaroni was normally reserved for rainy days, or when they were too lazy to go out.
Speaking of going out, he had to be extra cautious in mg hig his next move. Spy cameras were probably all over the city by now. Without a doubt, as soon as he was spotted, squads of Slade’s army would be all over him. Leaning against the counter, Robin tapped his fingers against his chin in thought.
Maybe he could somehow use those cameras, and get into Slade system before shutting it all down together. Definitely a possibility. Though Robin doubted the technological resources he had now to work with. Even if he managed to pull it off, what would stop Slade from finding out and tracing it back to Robin's new hideout?
Was it a risk he could afford to take right now? If he lost Sanctuary, he would have no choice but to leave Jump City. Surrender was not an option.
Especially not to Slade.
The microwave beeped signaling that his dinner was done. As good as the 'ultimate pasta in a can' smelled right now, he just left it there. Thinking of his former 'master', had yet again ruined his appetite.
--------------------------
"Keep going!"
"I... I don't think I can..."
"You can and will, dammit! They're catching up!"
A trio of young teenagers continued to move down the length of the dark sewer passage, with a groups of android soldiers in pursuit. They continued to turn corners, not knowing exactly where they were going, just needed to give their robotic pursuers the slip. Unfortunately, there was too many of them to lose all together.
In the lead, a young girl quickly skidded to a halt and whipped around, raising her hand in the enemy’s direction. A brilliant hex escaped her finger tips, automatically striking the valves close by. Water and steam erupted from the pipes, giving cover.
Her glowing magenta eyes narrowed. She could see shadows that must have been the robots move through the thick smoke. Before the young sorceress could shoot another hex bolt, a large hand fell on her thin shoulder. Looking up, her giant companion shook his head, his red main plastered the side of his face with sweat and blood.
"Too many of them," he answered gruffly. "Have to run."
She nodded mutely, also glancing at the small mog bug bundle resting in the crook of the giant's arm. They were in no condition for another fight. Together, they managed to put some distance between themselves and the robots. Though the heavy footsteps that echoed throughout the sewer tunnels indicated that soldiers had no intention of giving up the chase.
"Any luck with the distress signal?" the giant asked the figure in his arms. There was another painful g, fo, followed by the shaking of a head.
"Nothing..." was the hoarse reply, followed by a small fit of coughs. "We're... we're screwed, aren't w-we?"
"Just hang in there, and keep trying."
'I can't believe it,' thought the girl, leading them all to yet another sewer corridor. Hoping they would reach an exit soon. Despite the fact that it probably wouldn’t do them much good. There had to be thousands of robots all over the city rinow.now.
'Maybe the rumors were true after all...'
"Oh shit," one of her companions hissed. “More of them!”
She charged up her powers once more.
'The Teen Titans really are dead.'
--------------------------
'God I miss pizza,' Robin mentally complained again, taking in another spoonful of re-heated SpaghettiOs. He had been living off this stuff for a couple days now. It was a bit surprising he could eat at all in the first place.
The Boy Wonder knew he should have been working obsessively to try and get into Slade's system. Destroy it and the criminal mastermind himself. After taking over the city in a matter of days, he didn't believe Slade was planning on stopping there.
Powering on the computers again, Robin blinked as numerous distress messages appeared before his eyes, nearly taking up the screen. They were all for the Teen Titans, ing ing for help at some location. A map was presented for convenience, and on it a glowing red dot that began to move.
Robin frowned. This had to be Slade's doing. Did the masked criminal think he was that naive? The location was across town, an area heavily patrolled with tight security. His lips twitched into a tiny grin as he could see Beast Boy dancing before his eyes, singing: ‘Welcome to it’s a Trapsville! Population: You!’
There was no way in hell that he was going to waltz right into Slade’s cage. .
Looking away, he placed his unfinished dinner on the floor. If he didn't plan on going back out that night, then he would do the next best thing. Doing something productive, like re-stocking his utility belt. Or the whole figuring out how he could spy on his enemy.
‘But… what if…?’
Robin jerked. Something in the back of his mind, was yelling at him. Almost against his will, he turned to look at the distress messages once more. ‘This is a trap,’ he tried to convince himself. ‘It has to be!’
'But what if it isn't?' the voice in back of his head asked, much to his growing annoyance. 'What if someone really does need your help?'
That’s stupid. There was no one left in the city. All the people, law enforcement and civilians alike, were forced to evacuate. Everyone was goSladSlade had made it clear in his public announcement, that for anyone who remained, there would be no mercy. There would be no escape.
'But you're still here,' the voice pointed out.
What if there were people still left in the city? What if someone really did need his help? Was he going to let paranoia keep him from his duty as a defender?
"Hell," Robin cursed out loud. Standing up, he fastened on his utility belt before turning towards the exit. It seemed his curiosity and conscience had both managed to tag-team him again.
--------------------------
It was still raining, dark clouds continued loom in the sky, keeping the sunshine at baybin bin bitterly wondered if Slade had purposely put them there, as another way to state his claim. It didn't have sounded so ridiculous, considering his arch nemesis seemed capable of anything.
Nearly an hour later, Robin had finally caught up to the moving dot on the map. But as he leapt from building to building, there had been no sign of a chase or struggle any where on the streets. There was, however, a large group of soldiers holding their position on cor corner.
His booted feet made little noise on the roof as he walked, so the androids didn't notice his approach. Dropping into a crouch, he remained silent as the robots looked his way. Holding his breath, he waited for them to make the first move.
They looked away.
Robin let out a small inaudible sigh. Common sense had managed to coce hce him to go back and change into his old Red X costume. Well, minus the cape that had been damaged before he could reveal his identity. He didn't know why he bothered to keep the suit after that. The stealth cloaking in the suit was certainly helpful, making him invisible to the human eye and most scanners.
'I should leave,' he thought. Looking around, he took in every detail, focusing on anything that moved. All that moved were the androids, certainly were a lot of them around. Their movements ceased a few minutes later, as if they were ordered to wait for something. Seeing no sign of humans in this sector, he turned to head back to Sanctuary.
'Told you it was a trap,' common sense snapped at him.
That was until a thunderous explosion came from behind. On reflex, he dived for cover. He turned around, hearing the muffled sound of laser fire, cautiously looking over the edge. An ambient fog coming from an open manhole had covered the entire road. Street lamp lights suddenly blinked out, leaving the entire block almost pitched P>
P>
P>
With his own scanner equipped inside the skull-faced mask, Robin was able to see a fight going on through the haze. Two human forms could be outlined. A slender figure of a young female, and the other was tall and bulky. He blinked, two fighting against all those soldiers?
‘See! Someone needs your help after all!’
Standing up, Robin fired his grappling hook to wrap around a flagpole on an opposite building, and swung down. Arm outtchetched, he fired a red energy net from the X padding on his palm, immobilizing the closest opponents. Upon releasing the handle, he did a flip in midair before firing at enemy soldiers with his outstretched hands.
Landing neatly before the ones, who supposedly sent him that distress message, he shouted for them to run without even facing them. Thankfully, they complied to his order and he followed them out of the fog. Pulling another blinding grenade from the utility belt, he tossed it over his shoulder and didn't look back.

Feedback Response:
Agent182 (Fanfiction.net) - Thank you so much for being the first to review this story! I was worried that the slash content would scare readers away.
draco_proud_to_be_slytherin (AdultFanFiction.Net) - Yay! Another review! #^_^# - I've been writing rather obsessively due to insomnia and rewatching my favorite episodes over again. Anyway, thanks so much for the feedback - just started chapter 3. My beta-reader is going to have her hands full ^^;
Author's Notes:
I hope you've noticed that the tables have been turned for Robin and Slade. When the Boy Wonder was obsessed trying to figure out what exactly Slade was planning. Also, to be honest - I have no idea what the name of the city in which the Teen Titans live in. So I selected a result from GOOGLE and found: 'Jump City'. Also I know there are several grammar mistakes for both chapters... they will be Beta-read, I promise.
