Chapter1: The Plan

It was a dark and stormy night. The thunder was booming and the lightning was flashing. Slade was sitting in his dark lair trying to devise his next plan for the Titans. All his previous plans had failed. Either way no matter how many robots or how many crooneys he had the Titans always prevailed. But his main problem was that he had no apprentice. After Slade was gone who would rein terror unto this city? Who would be their ruler? But he was at an end. There was no one left. All his available choices had failed. He went over them in his mind.

Robin. His original choice. He was the perfect one. Like a son to him. Robin had deep ambition and was a fearless leader willing to take risks. Not only risks to himself but to others. Unfortunately for Slade's liking Robin was willing to make to much risk to be blackmailed. To make it worse his friends intervened and stood behind him. Together they overthrew the madman. Robin was no longer his. Slade lost him.

After Robin there was Terra. A little easier to join Slade's side. Slade has shown her trust and understanding. A girl with dangerous powers that became his to control. Unfortunately before Slade came along Terra had become to emotionally attached. The Titans came back for her. Terra made the foolish decision of turning on Slade to save the city. Foolish girl. Yet another apprentice was lost. He needed to figure out what was wrong.

Every apprentice was "persuaded" to join the dark side with Slade. They had motivation but yet one thing was missing. But Slade needed to figure out what was wrong. When suddenly it him. Both of his apprentices had minds of their own. Previously they had lived lives, raised differently to be good. Slade needed his own child. One he could raise to obey him and only him. But it came to his attention that Slade had no powers. His children would be powerless. He needed someone that would be just like Robin. Just as athletic as him. Cloning was not an option. Technology had not yet passed that barrier. But humans were as close to cloning as Slade was going to get. So he decided that he would make Robin have a child.

The plan was perfect. But the only problem was that who would have a baby with Robin. Why would Robin have a baby? How was this going to work out? Being a sharp man Slade easily came up with a plan. He would manipulate Robin in some way where he would never even notice. Then when the baby was born he would kidnap it. Train the baby to do whatever he asked. Best off all Robin would be held against something. That not even his own children would be safe from Slade. Slade even knew who the lucky pawn to be the mother would be. Yes, it was all worked out. Never had a more brilliant plan been set into place. Now to put it in motion.

Well did you like it? Do you think you know who the mother will be? Plaese read and review. Not just flames but constructive critism. Tell me if I should continue. And I will only if I get 50 reviews. PoPdAfAb
