When Bruce returned to the Batcave he was met by Alfred. "Sir, Master Richard has not returned!" Alfred said concern in his gaze.
"I know, Alfred. I have been tracking him all night. The systems of his signal has been hacked and I was on a wild goose chase. I knew I shouldn't have let him go to the park by himself!" Bruce sighed.
"Oh come Master Bruce, you could not have known that he would not return and I am sure it is not his fault either!" Alfred told Bruce. Bruce shook his head.
"He has been feeling so alone Alfred. He is blaming every thing on himself!" Bruce frowned. "I'm gonna call Wally and Roy. I know Dick left texting them on his phone."
"Oh yes. The device that makes talking virtually more sensible then a good chat with your friend in person!" Alfred rolled his eyes.
"Well, they're my best chance of finding him. I'm going out." He said putting up his cowl.
"But sir, you only just got here..." Alfred sighed when he turned around to see Bruce had already gone.

Dick awoke in the eerie light that shone in from a small barred up window that let only the slightest ray of the sun in. Dick hung limp. He was ashamed. It seemed as if he always brought this upon himself. Suddenly the door opened and Deathstroke came in. "So, Apprentice. Have you decided whether you want to work with me or not?" Dick looked into Deathstroke's one eye seriously. He bit his lip for a retort. "I cannot let you die Apprentice. You are a great prize. But get this, boy! I can break my toy as well as fix it! You will obey me or you will be treated like a dog!" Dick looked up from Deathstroke. Deathstroke knew he would not speak. He suddenly let Dick go free. As soon as Dick got up he was slapped back down on the ground and suddenly Deathstroke grabbed him and chained his neck to a pole. "Now beg!"

Dick didn't. He would not be shamed because he was hungry. Deathstroke grabbed one of the chains and hit Dick hard in the side. Dick bit his tongue to keep back a scream.

"Tough, are we? You see Grayson that is exactly why I took you as my Apprentice!" He unchained Dick's neck. "Follow me! And don't think of escaping. This tower has the highest ranked security in all the secret bases. Even Batman's."

Dick sighed and silently crept behind Deathstroke begrudgingly. In the next room was a room with gears and big TV screens all around the room. "If you want to know what I will do if you do not follow my orders you can see for yourself," he brought something up to the screen. First Dick saw Batman and suddenly the face of Bruce Wayne right next to him. Next, the Flash. Next to the face of Flash, Barry Allen. Clark Kent, Kara Danvers, Barbara Gordon and many other true identities of the superheroes. "Worst of all though. Is that it would be all your fault. Everyone will turn against you! You'll be alone forever. No friends, no family, no Robin! And after they are revealed, I will kill them. Including your pervert friend!"

Deathstroke knew he was slowly getting into Robin's mind. He knew what the boy had been feeling for the past days and that was what he could use to turn Robin onto his side. Deathstroke handed Robin a bag. "Deathstroke, don't think you have defeated me so easily! Batman will find me and when he does, we will both take you down together!"

"I will await the day then, but until then, you are mine Robin and you will do what I tell you," Deathstroke instructed. He pointed to the door as if wanting Dick to leave. Robin sighed as he left the room to his new sleeping quarters which didn't even have a bed. Why the hell is it called Sleeping Quarters then? He thought. He sighed bumping into the wall which caused something to open and a bed was now right next to Robin. A very dusty bed. Robin didn't want to sleep though. "Oh Bruce! I'm sorry," Robin hugged his knees and opened the bag that Deathstroke had given him. It held a costume that was black and orange with an orange "r" on the same side as his Robin costume. "What do you want from me, Slade Wilson?"
