New uniforms
Starfire woke to the sound of pounding on her door.
"Just A minute!" Starfire called as she quickly got out of bed and pulled on a robe.
Starfire opened the door, and Beast Boy was standing out side of her door.
"Yes friend?"
"Well, since I was cat while I was sleeping I heard the door bell ring, and you got a package!" Beastboy held it out to her.
"Oh! Thank you friend." Starfire took the package in her arms.
"So uh I'm just Curious, but what's in the package?"
"Oh! It has come so fast! My new clothes are in this package."
"You bought new clothes?" Beastboy asked disappointed.
"Yes! Would you like to see them?" Starfire attempted to open the package.
"Uh...okay." Beastboy stepped into the room
Starfire set the package on her bed and ripped it open. There were a set of ten outfits. Starfire pulled out a top.
"Oh! It's wonderful!" Starfire marveled at it.
"It's definitely different..." Beastboy eyed the top.
Starfire pulled out a Skirt and boots. Instead of a regular waist line skirt, the skirt's line was V shaped. And it had a diamond shaped green gem in the middle of the belt attached to it.
The boots were thigh high, and the top was also a V shape. The crop top's neck plate was V shaped instead of rounded. It also had a diamond shaped gem on it. The crop top it self was shaped like an upside down V.
Starfire pulled out the sleeves. They stopped a little over the hand, and went all the way up to below the shoulders. Each one had a gem at the hand. And of course the outfit was mainly purple.
"Oh! I can not wait to try it on!" Starfire ushered Beastboy out of her room so she could change.
"Good bye friend!" Starfire shut the door, leaving Beastboy outside.
Starfire immediately pulled the outfit on. But something wasn't right when she looked in the mirror.
"Oh! My hair does not look good with this outfit!" Starfire batted at it. "Maybe if I..."
Starfire grabbed a hair tie. She pulled her hair into a pony tail with bangs.
Starfire smiled. Much better. She liked her new uniform. Starfire briskly flew out the door to the main room to show her friends.

"It won't be suitable for you to go around in that." Slade eyed his clothing. "So I had this made." Slade held out clothing to him.
Robin took it.
"Go put it on." Slade ordered as he stepped into the shadows.
Robin walked to his room and shut the door. He laid the clothing on the bed and pulled of his jacket and shirt.
First, he put on a skin tight lightly armored undershirt. Then a black Ninja jacket.
Black pants, and armored gloves. A sliver utility belt with a small styled S in the center, And a mask. (similar to the one he wore in Apprentice Part 2.)
He left his clothes and his sunglasses on the bed.
After that, he walked back out.
"You can put your steel toed boots on." Slade told him as Robin glanced down at his expensive (now dirty) sneakers.
"We leave for Gotham tomorrow morning." Slade told him as Robin slipped on his boots.
Robin was in a daze. He couldn't focus, or stop his body from doing what ever Slade said. The whole time he struggling, but eventually he gave up.
He couldn't stop himself. His head hurt most of the time from resisting. He couldn't believe he was going back to Gotham after all this time, for revenge. He couldn't let Slade take over Gotham and Jump City! He couldn't let himself help him. Hopefully when he reached Gotham the Titans would figure out and come to Gotham.
But he didn't know that was Slade's plan all along.

Starfire sat on a kitchen stool as she gulped down her breakfast.
"It's uh, definitely different..." Cyborg eyed the skimpy outfit.
"What do you think Raven?" Starfire looked over at her.
"Wonderful." Raven answered almost sarcastic.
"It makes you look, mature I guess." Cyborg responded again.
Kid Flash burst into the room at that moment. "Sup! So what's the plan fo...or..." Kid Flash stopped and gasped at Starfire, his mouth gaping.
"Now I know what Rob was talking about!" Kid Flashed zoomed over to Starfire. "So Starfire, what are you doing tonight?"
"Hopefully, searching for Robin." Starfire tossed her hair in his disappointed face.
"I thought we were done searching aimlessly for Robin." Beastboy asked confused.
"We are. We need a lead though." Cyborg answered stoking his imaginary beard.
"Okay...So what do we know about Robin's disappearance?" Kid Flash asked.
"Not a lot, We know that Slade kidnapped him, because he never answered our calls, and his locater is offline. We also know he's still in Jump City because there was a passenger missing in first class, the flight to Gotham he was supposed to get on. And we know that the call we got from Batman asking Robin to come to Gotham that, That Batman was an Imposter. We don't know anything else." Cyborg explained.
"Wait, how do you know Slade took him in the first place? You just assumed Slade took him?" Kid Flash asked confused.
"Oh yeah and we know that Slade broke The Joker out of Jail. So I guess we assumed that Slade was behind Robin's disappearance and the imposter." Cyborg quickly added.
"Wait, that makes no sense. Why did Slade break the Joker out of Jail in the first place?"
At that moment it dawned on them, There was something they had missed.
"Wait, you have a point. Why did Slade break The Joker out of jail?" Cyborg realized they never knew why.
"Cause the Joker wanted revenge on Robin for something, and Slade knew by breaking him out of jail he would threaten Robin and Batman would ask Robin to come to Gotham so Slade could kidnap him at the airport and we wouldn't miss him for a whole week!" Raven explained as soon as she realized it.
"But I thought that the call you received from Batman was an imposter!" Kid Flash was still confused.
"It was all part of Slade's plan! He called us to lure Robin to the Airport, and broke the Joker out just in case Robin checked to see if he was really out or not!" Cyborg exclaimed.
"But why didn't the real Batman call you guys?" Kid Flash asked.
"Because, The Joker made no threat. Slade made it up." Cyborg told him remembering what Batman had said.
"Ooooh, I get it now. Gee, what kind off maniac comes up with these kinda plans?!" Kid Flash sank into a seat.
"You have no idea." Cyborg replied softly.

"Are you fully prepared for the journey ahead?" Wintergreen asked Slade.
"I think we're good." Slade responded as he shut of his computer.
"The chopper is here." Wintergreen informed him.
"Thanks. You shouldn't expect my return for a couple weeks or so." Slade told him as Slade walked into the Elevator.
"See you then." The elevator doors closed, taking Slade down to level 4.
When the Elevator doors opened Robin was waiting for him.
"Good. I hope your ready. We leave now." Slade told him as Robin picked up his backpack.
Robin followed Slade into the elevator. When they had reached the ground floor they could hear the helicopter outside. The chopper was in an open space nearby. They sprinted to it, got on and they were off to Gotham.
Robin's head felt more fuzzy than before. He unwillingly sat down on a nearby seat. The flight to Gotham would take a few hours. He'd better try and clear his head.
Hours later
Finally, they had reached Gotham. When they had reached Slade's hideout, Slade wasted no time.
"It's dusk. Perfect time to go on your mission." Slade glanced out the window.
Robin's hair was now styled so it hid the sliver pieces. He had two ear pieces so that Slade could contact him through out the mission.
"Go Steal from Wayne Enterprises. It doesn't matter what you steal, just something important. Wait for Batman to show, that shouldn't take long. Let him see you and then flee." Slade ordered.
Robin nodded as he was sent out onto the streets of Gotham. After being coped up in Slade's lair for more than a couple days, it would be fun to get out and get some action. But Robin didn't want it this way. But there was nothing he could do to stop himself, so why not make the most of it? Batman had hurt him, and he was going to pay.
Robin's mind was changing, after he gave in, the line between bad and good became faint.
When he reached Wayne Enterprises Slade spoke in his ear. "When you Trip the alarm, it sends a signal to the Batwave. Not the police. The guards will be there though. Make sure they don't call for backup." Slade ordered.
Robin jumped onto the rooftop of Wayne Enterprises. It was impossible to struggle to try and stop himself. He couldn't believe what he was about to do. He removed a lock pick from his utility belt and picked the padlock for the roof access. Once he got inside, he spotted two guards standing around.
He sighed quietly. He had made a decision. He couldn't stop himself, it only made his head hurt further. As much as he knew he would regret it, he would just play along with Slade until Batman figured out a way to stop him. Besides, If Batman saw he was evil now, that would shock him and make him sorry he ever tried to take Robin away from me in the first place!
Robin wasn't thinking straight anymore. He followed Slade's orders with ease. Instead of knocking the guards out with knockout gas like he would of, he beat them brutally until they were down, like Slade would.
After he took out the remaining guards, he stopped in front of the door they didn't want him anywhere near. Robin reached for a mini bomb, and exploded the door open.
Inside, was a weapon prototype Wayne industries was making. Robin had gotten an email about it. It was supposed to send out a laser, that would stun whatever it hit. It was made for the cops, but Robin reached up and grabbed It. Robin knew it had to of been to easy. As soon as he grabbed it, laser beams shot out of the wall, their target Robin.
Robin jammed the weapon into his belt and took off avoiding the beams with his acrobatics. He did multiple flips, and he finally made it out. But he wasn't alone.
"Batman's here." Robin whispered into his earpiece.
"Good. Get on the roof, then face him." Slade replied.
Robin jumped back onto the roof, Batman trailing not far behind.
"Who are you?!" Batman demanded once he made it to the roof of Wayne Enterprises.
"Don't say anything." Slade ordered.
Robin remained silent.
Robin stood on the other side of the building, quite a distance from Batman.
Batman was surprised he didn't attack first. The enemy almost always attacked first.
Batman withdrew a Batarang. Robin remained still, hiding in the shadows.
He threw the Batarang directly at Robin's arm. It made its way halfway to Robin, he didn't move.
Finally as it neared Robin, he quickly withdrew one of Slade's special boomerangs. And shot down Batman's.
"He won't move till you attack. Throw various weapons at him, and get close enough for him to see you." Slade ordered. Robin noticed a chopper flying above them. It belonged to the world daily news.
Without warning Robin tossed several exploding Boomerangs at Batman, Batman dodged. But with each one he threw, he took a step closer until he was close to Batman.
"Who are you and what do you want?!" Batman demanded again.
"Step into the light." Slade told him.
One foot at a time, he stepped into the light. And there right in front of Batman, stood a rogue Robin.
