Dick slowly woke up. He looked around and he was in an apandonde warehouse. He looked down groggily to see orange and Black. He gasped and shoved uimsekf away from Slade. Slade eyed him and walked towards him. He stood and backed away, but fell after a few steps.

"I see the drugs are still affecting you." He spoke.

Dick stood and ran. He ran to stairs and below was a long drop and above him was a long way up. He ran towards the stairs leading up to freedom but Slade kicked him down the stairs leading down. His back his the metal barred railing and he grunted. He stood and pulled out his Staff and stood his ground.

"You cannot won against me Little Robin." Slade spoke. "I am stronger. And you are weak."

He charged at Slade with a yell and swing his staff. Slade ducked and grabbed his collar and threw him down stairs. Dick rolled and his hands grabbed the bar railing before he slammed into it and he panted. But there wasn't time to even turn around. Slade kicked his face and he fell down the stairs. Slade looked at him and he smirked under his mask. Dick stood but leaned onto the bars and collapsed onto his knees, unable to stand from being so dizzy.

"This will teach you not to disobey me again." Slade scowled.

Divk growled and threw a punch. It was caught and Slade moved it behind his back harshly and his arm popped making dick yell in pain. He slammed Dick's head into the concreet flooring and moved his arm farther and pulled it out of socket earning another cry of pain.

"AAHHG!" Dick yelled.

Dick wrapped his legs around Slade's neck and began to choke him. Slade growled slightly and used his hand that held down his head to try and pull the legs off so he could breathe. But Dick wouldn't let him they were neck and neck. Dick kicked him of of him and stood up, back against the railing as he popped his arm into it's socket, him grunting in pain.

Slade kicked Dick over he railing and He fell. Dick landed with a role and stood up and growled. He pulled out a baterang as Slade landed in front of him, about five feet away.

"...the more you resist the worse I'm going to go on you." Slade spoke.

"ILL KILL YOU!" Dick yelled and charged at him.

Punches and kicks were thrown, all avaded by Slade. He dodged every last one of them with no effort. He grabbed Dick by his collar and threw him down onto the floor at the end of the stairs, on the lowest level of the warehouse.

"Gah!" Dick gasped as his back was slammed into a metal pillar.

"You really need to learn your place." Slade kicked his gut harshly.

Dick felt his arms grow weak to the point he could hardly lift them. He was no match for this man. He couldn't escape the pain. He couldn't take him out. And he was alone with no back up. He couldn't escape.

Slade ripped him from his thoughts when he kicked him across the floor. Dick grunted and moved his arms ahead of him to grip onto a metal bar as a weapon but Slade kicked him into the wall, his back hitting it roughly.

Dick could feel he had broken ribs and many other bones. He moved slowly and every little movement was a searing pain. He guidedhis arm up the wall and and slowly stood, panting heavily. Slade stopped, clearly. Because he had enough time to stand. He looked weakly up at Slade. Slade walked to him and grabbed his collar.

"Will you obey me?" Slade asked.

"..." Dick looked at him and was limp in his grasp. He wasn't going to resist anymore. It was pointless. "...mhm." he hummed.

"Use words!" Add punched his jaw harshly.

"Ahg! Y-yes!" Dick answered in a raspy voice. The raspiness from the yelling and crying.

"Good." Slade threw him over his shoulder.

Slade walked over to the wall and pressed on a hidden button and the wall opened and he walked in, carrying the injured boy with him. They both vanished winthin the walls, going further underground to the man's lair.

Batman woke up with a sharp gasp. The team was back and they looked concerned.

"Batman!? Your finally awake!! What happened!?" Aqualad asked.

"S-slade." Cannery mumbled Ashe she came too. "He ambushed...Dick." she wheezed due to her collapsed lung."we tried to save him. But he knocked me out. Batman knows the full details."

"Batman! Where is Richard!" Wally yelled with fury and fear in his eyes.

"I imbedded a tracker..." He pulled up his scanner. He found it and marked the place but as soon as he did Dick's tracker went offline. But he still found the place. "Here..." He sat up. "He knocked Cannery out and then me. Before I blacked out he dragged Dick's unconsious body away." He looked worried."I-i need...to find him!" He stood only to fall into Artemis's grasp.

"You aren't going anywhere until your wounds have healed. I don't care if you are Batman. You Ave broken ribs and bones." Megan spoke boldly.

"It would be wise to rest up. If we go to him now it won't be might of a fight. I heard that Slade was thee perfect villian. Smart. Cunning. And extremely slippery once you get a hold of him. But...if he ever needs followers, he knows how to change them. Make them snap into following his every command. From robbing to mass murderer." Connor explained.

"..." Wally punched a wall and yelled out of fury.

The two Justice league members week now in the medical bay healing and resting. Leaving the Young Justice to figure out a plan.

"We know where he is located now. But like Conner said. He can change people. The sooner we get Robin back the better." Aqualad stated.

***

A few hours later...

Dick woke up in a hospital bed. His wounds week wrapped up and his healing rate was higher do to a drug Slade produced with his team of scientists. He uses it every time he gets injured. Right now Dick was half healed. Already he could tell whatever he was on was a fast acting agent.

"Good. You are awake Renegade." Slade walked out of the shadows. "I made your suit. It's on the table when you are ready to walk around.  That will be what you wear on missions and on a daily basis. Understood?"

"Y-yes Slade." Dick spoke.

Slade nodded. " Glad to see you learned your lesson of dispobeying me." He walked out.

Dick stood and winced a the soreness he felt. He dressed in his outfit and put in his Robin mask and looked at the full body mirror in the I'm and frowned. He looked like a small Slade but with a different mask on. It was equipt with many weapons and explosives as well as his staff. He looked at the door and went to open it. He twisted the handle and stepped out.

It was cold and dark. He shivered light by but his body adabted quickly. He looked around to see many screens and computer areas. He saw a room full of weapon crates and money and food. He looked around seeing all kinds of fancy gadgets and tools. There were people walking through the place. His followers. He walked down a hall and into a huge room with a large screen. It were cameras and plans all there in sight. Dick glanced over them all twice and felt a hand in his shoulder.

"I think this is a perfect fit for you." Slade hummed in approval.

"I'm not a bit fan of orange." Dick mumbled.

"Now renegade. I already have a mission for you. If you fail to go through with it your suit will shock your nerves causing you to feel nothing but agony. Fail to complete the mission I will train you for a solid week without food! Am I understood?" He asked.

"Yes." Dick looked down with a grim look.

"I can see and hear everything that you can...remember that." Slade sounded threatening.

"I will. So. What do I have to do?" He asked.

"Steal intelligence from the Young Justice." He spoke simply. "An excellent start. You prove you can betray your former friends. I know you will be great my young apprentice." Slade put a hand on his shoulder. "You will not fail me or I will beat and train you until you are laughing up blood." He whispered in Dick's ear. "Now here is your head peice." He handed an ear peice to him.

Dick out it I'm his ear and turned it on. He was given a drive and a holophone on his arm as well as a later shooter on his other arm. He had two pistols at the ready and back up ammo.

"Start your mission at night." He spoke. "Now go." He spoke.

"Yes master." Dick bowed and walked out.

He left the hidden lair and closed the door and sped out of the warehouse. And it was already sunset. He was able to see the mountain from where he was. He looked at itand sighed shakily and looked at his hands.

"I have no other choice." He called them up tightly. "Sorry Bruce..."

"That's right Renegade. Yo have no other choice. And you will learn to be loyal to me and me only."Slade states.

Night rolled in and Dick snuck into the mountain, knowing every way to sneak in. He made to his old room. He opened his door slightly and looked for anyone.

The coast was clear. He hacked into the cameras and shut them down. He ran down the hall and into the room next to the living room and crawled into the vents. Connor and Mean we're looking over Dick on the couch. Wally punched the ground at a eye blinding sorry and Batman was on the main computer. The computer Dick needed to get to.

"Batman is on it." Dick mumbled quietly.

"You have smoke granades. You have two fists, weapons, and Explosives. Use them." Slade ordered.

"..." He hesitated. He looked at them and pain hit him hard. But he didn't want to feel agony. "Yes sir."

Dick pulled out smoke granades and crawled into the vent further until he hand an opening. He pulled the triggers and opened the vent with a kick and threw them in and they exploded, creating a smoke screen. And with that he jumped down and into it and ran to the computer and grabbed Batman's vape and threw him into the the across the room.

"Who is it!?" Megan shot up.

Wally growled and sped in. "IM NOT IN THE MOOD FOR YOU VILLIAN SCUM!" He punched Dick without being able to see him.

"Fight!" Slade raised his voice.

Dick attacked him and struck a nerve and knocked Wally out. He threw him into Aqualad and plugged the drive into the computer and began to hack into it. Batman stood and growled Megan flew and cleared the smoke and her heart dropped. Everyone gasped.

Dick eyed them with pained eyes and grabbed his staff and held it at his side, in a fighting position. Bruce was shocked.

"D-dick!? Why are yo-" he was interrupted.

"Because it's my job. I'm not Robin anymore. And I'm not Dick Grayson...he's dead." Dick's voice cracked. "It's Renegade."

*File copy complete* The computer spoke.

Dick grabbed the drive and bolted for the exit only to Find Aqualad in the way.

"Dick stop this! We can fight him! Please don't do this." Aqualad got out his weapons. Don't make me fight you."

"No...you can't. And you are choosing to fight. If you don't want to get out my way." Dick demanded.

Aqualad growled. Dick pulled out his pistol and shot Aqualad's foot and exited the building and ran across the beach under the guidance of the moon.

"Well...I guess that is some form of goodbye..." He mumbled to himself as tears threatened to fall. "Slade I have the files.".

"Good work Renegade. You have prove to me...that you are trustworthy. I'm proud of you."

Dick made it back and walked to Slade's current location and handed him the drive. He was shaking visibly. Not from physical pain. But emotional pain. Slade sighed and set a and On Dick's shoulder.

"I know you will get used to things. Don't worry. The unessesary emotion will soon leave you." He spoke.

Dick fell to his knees and cried into his and. Slade knelt down and looked at him.

"Let your bonds break...shatter them. The only bond you will need from now on in your bond with your master. Your teacher. Me." Slade spoke softly. "And you will thanks me in the future for ripping you away from Bruce. And the Young Justice. Because friends are a weight. An unwanted crutch. An alley like me is a belong if power. Because I do anything and everything to get the job done. No matter the method. You don't have to hold back anymore from your urdges to hurt your opponent worse. Because on this path. You are free to do whatever you like. We are the good guys that do bad for the greater good. Do you understand my Apprentice?" Slade asked.

"Y-yes...sir!" He cried into his hands.

"Good. Slade smirked. "Now stand. It's time I train you in the art of Assassination."
