    Summary

    Slade had noticed that his former apprentice had been going through some changes as of late. He's been ill, exhausted, and showing signs of fatigue. And when he was back in the tower, he did nothing but sleep, when he was usually causing mischief with his so-called "friends." Which was strange, even for him. In the beginning he merely surveyed the young hero. But when he noticed that someone else had taken a liking to watching the boy, he took action. What the mercenary did not expect to find was the mythical Court of Owls. And for some reason they wanted Robin. So he did some research of his own. Turns out the boy isn't as normal as he thought he was.

    Or rather Slade kidnaps Robin, accommodates him through his Talon transformation, and now has to deal with the aftermath of his sudden impulse to the help the damn kid.

    Summary

    The person you are trying to reach is unavailable. Please leave a message after the tone.

    “Hi, Jason! It’s Dick. I missed your call earlier – lo and behold, space has no reception – but I’m back on Earth now! Did you want to meet up? Call me when you have the chance!”

     

    or: what if dick left voicemails to jason’s old number? what if those voicemails, years later, are finally heard by the people dick would rather die than show his vulnerabilities to?

    Summary

    “ You should have gone home, my dear. Being up in the tower, all alone? What did you even expect could happen…”

     

    From the side, she felt the cloth pulled from her mouth. The fake-

     

    No….

     

    The real Renegade’s ’ eyes softly followed her own. Not before meeting his master’s approaching leer.

     

    “ How …did you pull this off? Frame him, make Joker a king??”

     

    “ It’s only a fraction of my plans, and his.” Slade told the lid with a cock of his head. Not before dropping down from the catwalk in a death defying crouch , untouched by danger.

     

    Dick didn’t as much flinch, yet his hands weren’t that steady.

     

    Slade’s on the other hand…

    Summary

    Too far away to make out details, but unmistakably him, was Bruce. Dick threw himself forward, scream building up in his throat. Slade twisted Dick’s arm behind his back, pushing it higher until Dick was sure his shoulder would dislocate, pain stealing the breath from his lungs.
    “Make a sound, and I will string you up from your neck for the rest of the night,” Slade threatened. “Keep watching.”

    Summary

    "Slade had been his captor, his torturer, his enemy, his… abuser. No part of him should crave the man’s presence. How had he deluded himself into thinking Slade cared about him? So what if there had been moments of gentleness, glimpses of affection?"

    Robin would do anything to keep his friends safe. Anything at all.

    And that means that Renegade would do anything his Master asked of him. Anything at all.

    Summary

    “I’m here now, like you wanted. So talk.”

    That gave Slade a pause.

    It wasn’t stunned speechless, nor was it his brain catching up to what it heard. It felt more like a snapshot, a moment of stillness to make the rush after all the more disorienting.

    Slade gestured with cuffed hands, palms facing upward. “It’s not about what I want,” he started, “it’s what you need. I know you have questions, and that I have the answers.” He laced his fingers together and placed his chin atop them. “But that’s… formulaic, too conventional. Why not make it interesting?”

    ---

    There's unrest in the underground and Slade seems to be a part of the cause. He agrees to cooperate with the League on a condition: Only Nightwing can interrogate him.

    For every question Nightwing asks, he has to answer a question from Slade as well. Confidential information was off the table, that was made clear. So what seems to be Slade's end goal here, if the deal just sounded too good to be true?

    Summary

    "Then, who will you work with? Because Red Hood is the only one I trust to kill." Batman's voice matched Deathstroke's. The other figure leaned in subtly, a sly smirk playing across his lips as he captured Dick’s attention with an unwavering gaze. “Him,” he stated, the challenge clear in his tone, laced with playful arrogance and an undercurrent of tension.

    A wave of surprise rippled through the room, throwing everyone into a momentary hush, eyes widening in astonishment as they turned to face Nightwing. Expressions morphed into a blend of disbelief and intrigue, the kind one might expect during a pivotal scene in a suspenseful drama. Dick felt the weight of their collective stares pressing against him, a mixture of expectation and excitement swirling in the air. With a resigned sigh, slightly exaggerated for effect, he offered a teasing grin that danced across his features. “Sure, if that’s what you want to do. But can you keep up with me, old man?” he challenged, his voice dripping with a playful bravado that belied the adrenaline surging through him.

    Summary

    My take on the Apprentice Arc, but it's terrible.
    The title is taken from the song Wait for It by Leslie Odom Jr.

    Dick Grayson is an undercover spy, but the question remains: for which side is he working? No one is aware of his true identity as a spy, a secret stemming from a deal made eight years ago. His skills are unquestioned; everyone assumes Batman trained him well enough, while Batman believes that Grayson has honed these abilities independently. In reality, one man has orchestrated it all, with a plan meticulously timed down to the second. He has orchestrated everything, with a plan crafted down to the last detail.t all, orchestrating the entire operation down to the last detail.
