"I underestimated you, boy. You have me in check…for now. I cannot leave this body. My soul is attached to yours. The soul of Fenrir the wolf daemon."
The voice faded away. On the floor of the arena, Robin began to stir. His eyes tightened and then fluttered open. His vision was blurry, but he blinked and it began to adjust. He felt someone beside him, holding and rubbing the top of his hand. Slowly turning his head, Robin saw Slade staring down at him. A weak smile formed on his face.
"You alright, little bird?"
Robin tried to sit up. Slade allowed him, helping him most of the way. He placed a hand to his head as it pulsed in pain.
"What…h-happened?"
"You fell unconscious," Slade said, crouching on his feet and turning slightly. "You gave me a scare. Do you remember anything?"
Robin had to think back. Did he remember what just happened? It was a bit fuzzy. "Sort of…"
"You fought Red X, who was turned into a giant snow leopard, and, after you defeated him and he reverted to his human form, something happened," Slade explained. "You fell and red energy swirled around you." Robin pictured everything that had occurred as Slade spoke. He remembered the voice telling him to let it take control of his body, but he had refused and fought back. "After everything calmed down, you said-"
"That it couldn't have my heart," Robin said. "Before I woke up, I heard a faint voice. It was the one from before. It said it was attached to my soul." Robin's brow furrowed. "The soul of a wolf demon, it said."
"It was all Drake's fault," a voice behind Slade said. Looking up, Robin saw Danny approaching. He stopped a few feet away. His face was blank, but Robin could see disappointment and sympathy in his eyes. "He injected you with the cure. I had seen a few vials full in his private lab. For some reason all of them were blue, except for one."
Lowering his gaze, Robin remembered back to Drake holding the cure in his hand. The liquid had been red. He looked back up at Danny. "If what the voice said was true, why would Drake let a demon live inside of me? He wanted to control me, not let a demon do it."
Danny shook his head. "Maybe he thought the red was much stronger and didn't know the real reason behind it. Nevertheless, he did this to you. And I'm sorry."
Not wanting to be on the hard floor anymore, Robin tried to stand. Slade gripped his arms and helped him up as they rose off the floor. Turning around, he let him lean against him for support. Robin looked at Danny and smiled.
"You don't have to apologize. If he didn't know, then there's nothing to be sorry for."
"Its not just that," Danny said, handing him a pair of his boxers. "Its everything he did to you. He took you from Slade for his own personal gain. I finally realized how wrong this all was. I knew the type of people coming in to buy children and I did nothing to stop it. Forcing kids to be something they're not is cruel. Drake is my savior, my friend, so I didn't want to turn against him. But, I did. And it was the hardest thing I ever did."
Blinking, Robin looked around, trying to locate Drake. Over by the wall, he stood with Sam in his prison orb. Robin looked back at Danny in confusion. "You really did that?" Danny nodded. There was silence for a long time after this. Since knowing him, Robin always thought he was a pathetic, weak chicken who was just Drake's lap dog. Robin didn't think he was strong at all. Why else was he so willing to please his fucked up friend? Robin quickly changed his mind about Danny. "You know what?"
Danny's eyes widened in confusion. "What?"
Closing his eyes, Robin grinned. "You're not a big, fat, stupid chicken after all."
Danny blinked rapidly. "Um…thanks?"
Placing his hand on Slade's chest, Robin stepped away from him and stepped towards Danny. He stood his ground. Stopping four feet away, Robin slowly extended his hand to him. Danny looked down at it, not knowing what to do. Closing his eyes, Robin smiled.
"Stopping Drake makes you the greatest friend in the world."
Danny looked back up at his face, thought maybe this was a trick, but then smiled. Lifting his hand, he grabbed Robin's and squeezed firmly. "Thank you."
They dropped their hands, allowing Robin to pull the boxers on. As he looked back up, he saw Drake out of the corner of his eye and thought of something. Slade and Danny watched as he limped towards him, his smile gone. Drake was glaring at him as he got closer. Stopping a few feet away, Robin stared hard at him. Drake growled in annoyance.
"Mark my words, when I get out of here-" Lifting his right fist swiftly, Robin threw it directly at his face. Drake's eyes widened right before the fist made contact with his jaw. He flew straight out of the bubble, crashing into the floor and sliding back a few feet. As he tried sitting up, Robin approached him, looking very serious all of a sudden. Holding himself up with his hands behind him, Drake gritted his teeth at him. "Damn brat!"
Stopping directly over him, Robin glared. "You did this to yourself. You're a greedy, selfish, condescending piece of shit. Even Danny, who is your one and only friend, saw it but was too afraid to call you out on it. You kidnapped scared, little children and tortured them with your serum. You're the reason my friend is dead. You've caused nothing but pain and destruction, just so you could become rich. You don't deserve anything. You especially don't deserve someone like Danny. So if you want to make this right, you'll cure everyone still left and then give me the purchase logs of everyone you've already sold off. I'm going after them and saving those kids. Understand?" Drake didn't answer. Robin gritted his teeth in anger. "You destroyed everything! After I left my home, I found a new one! For the first time in months, I was happy! I stopped caring that Poison Ivy had turned me into what I was! I started getting used to it! But then you took all of that AWAY!" Drake tried to back away when Robin snatched at his neck. He gripped the front of his shirt with his left hand and pulled him up until they were almost face-to-face. "I have every reason to kill you right now. And I can do it too. But I won't, because you have someone that cares about you. So stop thinking the world only revolves around you and tell me where those fucking BOOKS ARE!"
Drake stared directly into Robin's eyes, feeling nothing. Then he flat out said, "No."
He never saw Robin slam his fist into his face, breaking his nose. He crashed into the floor after he let go of him. Snarling, he reached down for him with both hands and quickly threw him behind him. Drake crashed head first into the floor with a loud crack. Not waiting for him to recover, Robin quickly landed on him and started punching him repeatedly in the face. Blood burst from his mouth and nose. Grabbing his shirt again, Robin held his right hand above his head and dilated his claws. Drake looked up at him with one eye closed and panting heavily. Robin was about to leave deep gashes in his face when he lifted his hand up to stop him.
"W-Wait, I-I'll…I-I'll tell you." Robin's face softened a bit. He slowly retracted his claws and let him go. Drake lay there for a few seconds to regain his breath. "Th-They're…in the locked desk d-drawer on the right side in m-my office." He shakily reached for his pocket and pulled out a set of keys. He held them out to Robin to take. "It's the fifth key on h-here. There has only been one book so f-far and it doesn't have many. A l-lot of them were taken out of the country and to Europe and such." Robin took the key ring from him. Drake lowered his hand back down. "The rest are scattered all over America and Mexico. Fifty-to-one hundred I would expect."
Robin stared down at him a little while longer before carefully standing up and taking a step back. His face was blank as he stared down at him. "You should be thankful you'll never know what you've got until its gone. Danny is forever indebted to you for what you did for him after his family died. Don't let your selfishness and greed push away the only thing you have left." Turning around, Robin headed for the Coliseum door. "Come on, Slade."
Nodding, Slade stepped after him. Drake slowly pushed himself up with one hand, his arm behind him. "Robin." Stopping, Robin didn't look back. Drake placed an arm to the underside of his nose. "Good luck."
Silence filled the Coliseum. Inhaling, Robin continued walking. Slade made fast strides to catch up to him. They reached the outside and then headed back for Drake's office. Sam and Danny were helping him up. He glanced at Danny with half closed eyes.
"Danny?"
The young man looked at him. "Yeah?"
Drake rested his head on his shoulder. "I'm sorry."
From the amount of blood loss in his head, Drake fell unconscious against Danny. He smiled weakly.
"Don't be…"
As Robin entered the factory, all the rescued kids were standing in the aisle that led to the back of the building. Noah was in the very front with his arms folded over his chest. Robin stopped a few feet from him. They didn't speak for a long time. Slade stopped twenty or so feet away. Noah gave a short lift of his head.
"You alright?"
"Mostly."
"You look like you had a run in with the leopard."
Robin ran his hand through his hair. "It was more than that actually. Apparently, I have a wolf demon attached to my soul." Noah quirked an eyebrow. "Well, it doesn't matter. I'm going to Drake's office to grab the book of all the kids he sold. They're scattered all over the world. I'm going to save the ones here in America. That includes Rosie."
"And what about us?"
Robin looked at everyone. "I'm sorry. This is all my fault. Half a year ago, I ran into an old enemy named Poison Ivy. She had this gas that turned me into a wolf. My friend Slade found me and helped cure me the best he could. I was just like all of you. I have friends in high places. They will save you from this place and cure you. Then you can all go home. For those who don't have a place to go, I wish you the best of luck. I'm going to need it too if I'm to save those that were already sold. Again, I'm really sorry this happened to you. I'm going to make it right, no matter what it takes." Everyone stared silently at him. Unfolding his arms, Noah started to clap. Soon, others joined in. Eventually the entire building echoed with cheers and clapping. Robin smiled. "Thank you."
Noah moved closer to him, suddenly looking sternly at him. Robin blinked in confusion. "You better save Rosie."
"Don't worry, I plan on it."
Noah placed a firm hand on his shoulder, his eyes narrowed. "Promise me you'll bring her back to me."
Robin nodded. "I promise."
They stared hard at each other for several seconds. Noah slowly lowered his hand from his shoulder. "I'll be waiting for the two of you. Someday."
Turning around, Noah went back to join the other kids. Slade finally appeared beside Robin on the left. Grabbing his wrist, he slowly pulled him around and slid his fingers down his palm. Robin looked up at him as he interlaced their fingers and squeezed his hand.
"I love you."
Robin's eyes widened slightly. "You do?"
Wrapping his other arm around his waist, Slade pulled him flush against his body and smirked. "I do." He quickly pressed their lips together for a long kiss that took Robin's breath away. Closing his eyes, he kissed back. Slade ended it and smiled softly down at him. "Do you want me to come with you on your quest?"
Robin smiled back. "No, I have to do this alone. What I want you to do is contact Bruce and the Titans. They can help make the government fix all of this. Tell them I'll see them again one day. I also want you to tell the others that Beast Boy risked his life to find me. And tell them that I love them."
Slade kissed him gently once. "I will."
Nodding, Robin stepped back, pulled his hand out of Slade's, and then moved towards the children. They parted to let him pass. Reaching the stairs, he walked up, entered Drake's office, and went to the locked drawer. He used the fifth key and unlocked it. He pulled it open, found the two books, and grabbed them. Setting them on the desk, he opened the covers and found the Purchase Log book. He skimmed it, making quick glances at all the states that were listed. Some kids had been taken to countries he had never even heard of. Sitting down, he looked for paper and a pen. When he found them, he started writing down every address of the children in America and Mexico. None were in Canada at least. After fifteen minutes, he was done. He grabbed the book and two pieces of paper and then headed out. He met Slade back downstairs. He handed him the log book.
"Give that to the government. I wrote down all of the names and addresses of the ones still in America and Mexico."
Slade took the book from him. "I'll take care of things here."
Robin nodded. "And take Red X home with you. He needs to get back on his feet."
"I was already planning on it."
"Good."
After another passionate kiss, Robin turned and located Noah. Feeling him staring, he turned. Robin smiled. "I'm going now!"
Noah threw a punch in his direction and smirked at him with closed eyes. "Later, mutt!"
After a small wave, Robin turned around and headed for the door. Slade watched him go, knowing he would greatly miss him. Holding the scrunched pages in his mouth, Robin quickly took off the boxers, ran forward and jumped in the air, and then quickly transformed into his red wolf form. Landing, he started to run, feeling the air rush through his thick fur. He ran down the path between all the buildings, ran past the Coliseum right as Sam with Red X and Danny with Drake came out to go to the hospital, and entered the forest once more, determination heavily on his heart. The further away he was from Slade, the sadder he became. Closing his eyes tight, he threatened to cry. Robin didn't know how long it would be before he was with Slade or his friends again. It would be his hardest adventure yet. There was no telling who would get in his way or help him, but he would face it. And he would conquer it, no matter what.
At the top of a rock cliff, a white wolf with gold eyes stood near the ledge, staring down into the forest. It caught a quick glimpse of Robin running towards his next adventure. Slowly lifting its muzzle towards the sky, the wolf closed its eyes, parted its mouth and fangs, and howled.
AROOOOOOOOOOOO!

Will the demon inside him make his life a living hell? Or will Robin be able to tame the beast? Stay tuned and find out in my next installment of…
