When Robin had received the note that told him to come alone to the piers he had been ready for whatever Slade was planning. He had plenty of weapons stored in his belt and he was prepared to fight Slade and stop him from whatever he wanted to do. But Robin hadn’t expected this.

           
Slade wrapped his arms around him and pulled him off the ground into a seemingly loving embrace as Robin remained motionless. What was he supposed to do? He couldn’t continue to be mad at the man now that he was hugging him without any sort of threat or known devious action. Robin could only blink and rest his head on Slade’s muscled shoulder. “Um…Slade?”

           
“Yes, little Robin?” Slade rubbed the boy’s back with one of his hands as the other held his form off of the ground.

          
  “What are you doing?” Robin finally asked.

           
“Winning the game,” Slade chuckled and slowly lowered Robin until the boy was standing on his own two feet again.

           
“I…I’m so confused.” Robin looked up at him and Slade nodded in approval.

           
“And that’s why I won this round, Robin. Try hard and you might be able to win someday.” With that said Slade strode past the boy and went to work on his next plan.

_-_-_-_-_-_-_-

           
They had finally arrived at the chosen warehouse and Slade was prepared for them. He had many robots behind him and was about to start his explanation of his newest device and how he would end up with what he wanted this time but he stopped before he even started as he became dazed.

           
Slade was completely surprised as Robin ran forward and wrapped his arms around the mastermind’s waist. Slade’s hands rose in the air and he stared in astonishment as Robin nuzzled his head against his chest. Slade looked from Robin to the other Titans and could tell by their expressions that they were just as surprised and stunned as he was.

           
Starfire’s mouth was open, Beast Boy kept muttering ‘Dude’, Cyborg’s eyes were wide, and Raven kept shaking her head as if the scene in front of her would disappear if she rattled her brain enough. They were confused and he couldn’t blame them, but then again they didn’t understand the game that Robin was playing right now.

           
Slade placed his hands on Robin’s shoulders and the boy looked up at him. Robin had a big smirk on his face and Slade chuckled softly. “Touché, Robin,” Slade remarked as he ruffled the boy’s hair. Robin removed his hands from Slade’s waist and started to walk back towards his confused team.

           
“I win this time, Slade.” Robin looked over his shoulder to the criminal genius and smiled as Slade nodded his head in agreement.

           
“Yes, this round is yours, little bird, but next time I’ll win.” Slade chuckled as he made his way out of the warehouse.
