PLEASE READ THIS! PLEASE!

A/n: Folks, I am so sorry to disappoint you with my lack of updating, but I have had a very busy schedule lately with tutoring every day after school and homework after that. I really have been thinking and working on some things, but nothing really comes out right. I have a position available.

I need a beta desperately! I need ideas from the readers of the fic and I need to brainstorm to keep this story going strong. Any ideas you guys have about where I could take this, please help me! I want to make this fic as long as I can for you guys, and I love your kind reviews, but I need to write more often, which I can't do with only a basic plot line.

If you have ANY Ideas at all, please message me and tell me! Also, if you would like to be my beta (editor and assistant writer) please let me know.

Also, I might be getting a bit more violent and angsty with this story, so the rating will be going up to T.

Thank you so much,

Tiesie Kale

And now for your trouble: A Chapter!

Disclaimer: I own no Teen Titans.

Insecurities:

Robin awoke to a throbbing pain in his skull. Every time he moved it felt like his head was going to explode into a million tiny little places. He sat against the wall of his cell perfectly still, so as not to aggravate his head, and contemplated how on earth he was going to get out of his current situation.

After thinking for about thirty minutes, he still had no ideas whatsoever, and finally just concentrated of trying to make his pain subside, allowing himself to fall into a light sleep.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

The titans all sat on the couch gaping at the television as they watched the file from the bat-archives play out like a slideshow of doom. Criminal Identity: Joker. Citizen Name: Unknown. Characteristics: Lethal When Wanted. Current Location: Unknown. Current Weaknesses: Unknown. Enjoys: Torture, Gases, Twisted Qualities.

"So…" Raven said, breaking their stares. "This guy has teamed up with Slade, and they have Robin?" She looked to Batman for an answer.

"I think so," he answered with a curt nod. "And the worst part is, I think they know."

"Know what?" asked Starfire, her big eyes shining with anxiety.

"I think they know that he's… my son. I can't be sure, but both of them have done some insane hacking before, and I wouldn't put it past them to have made a case study of him before capturing him. They would want to know everything. His strengths…"

"His weaknesses…" finished Cyborg, looking horrified.

"And they have it all at the push of a button. With that much information at their fingertips, it's only a matter of time before they break him," Batman sighed, rubbing his temples as he sat in the computer chair near the screen.

"But, come on, I mean… this is Robin right?" Beast Boy said, an unsure grin creeping onto his face. "Nothing can break Robin!" his comment was responded to with matching looks from all of the titans.

"Everyone has a breaking point, B." said Cyborg, "even Robin."

"You saw what he did when he found out that picture was missing." Cut in Raven. "He has feelings Beast Boy, just like every other human being, even if he doesn't show them as much as some." All of the Titans stopped and looked at her when she said this. They had really never noticed that Robin was only human. He felt pain. He had feelings. He had a past. He had another name. He wasn't just Robin, but he was a person. A normal, insecure person, who had had parents and friends and a house, and he gave it all up to help other people, just like him.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Slade read over the Joker's contract one last time, making sure that everything was taken care of and signed, before adding it to his computer's locked files section. He smirked to himself as he read line 38, Paragraph 6, of section 32b part III. Little did he know it, but Joker had just gotten himself and that little brat of his into a whole lot of trouble. What he didn't realize was that if he made even the slightest mistake, the girl would be Slade's, and there would be nothing Joker could do about it. Surely he would survive the trauma of losing the girl, but the girl might not, because if Slade ever saw her loose potential or her combat skills ever stopped intriguing him, he would just kill her off. He had done it before.

Slade's eye narrowed as he saw Robin stir in his cell. Deciding that the boy had had enough rest, he got up and began to walk toward the door to have a long discussion with Robin about the terms and conditions of being a guest at Slade's Warehouse & Trainee Home for Apprentices: Occupancy: 1.

A/n: Again you guys, thanks so much for being so patient with me and I am so sorry that I haven't updated recently!

Now, Reviews:

Master of Toast: You have no idea how that makes me feel. Really! It may not seem like much, but it inspires me so much! Thanks for reading and reviewing and remember, questions or comments are always accepted!

TitanAbbie: Your favorite? Really! Omg, I feel so good now! That gave me a little boost of self confidence that I really needed right now. Thanks so much, and I will try to update more!

AuthoroftheRose: I am! I am! Please don't hurt me! You were (I believe) my one-hundredth review! So here is a chappie dedicated to you and all those who reviewed! Thanks!

Wynja: late or not, I am glad you are still reading and have decided to review! I am glad you like the Joker concept, I really wasn't even gonna put that in until I wrote that chapter and I was like huh.. what if I… yah! And typed it up! Glad you laughed, too, I love making people laugh and that was such a blast to write! Slade is tickied! Haha, thanks for the review and I hope to see more of you!

GraysonGirl: Good Guess, but no, Zaria is someone else entirely! Her identity will be revealed later at some point, but it all has to do with the contract really. Glad I have you thinking though!

IamtotallyKewlio: Aww, thanx for coming back! Thanks for the reviews too! I appreciate them, and glad you hart the story!

HamsterFan: Sorry about the length issues, I had very little time to write that chapter, and I hope this one makes you feel better. As I said up above, I have trouble with ideas, but if you have any let me know and I am sure I can get some longer chapters for you!

YouWishYouKnewMe: Glad to know I am improving! Keep reading, I have more twists and turns coming up ahead!

Balance in the Dark: Yes, I like having Batman and Robin's arch nemesis's together in this. Really, they are not both teamed up against Robin. Joker is in it to tick of Bats, and Slade is in it to break Robin, Body and Soul, and forge him into a mindless drone apprentice.

No, Robin never does get a break, but that's okay, 'cause then he wouldn't be as fun to write about, now would he? Anyway, keep reading! Thanks!
