Slade's been watching you for a very long time now. He's been lurking from the shadows, watching your moves and tactics. He's been studying you.

He knows more about you than most. Your fighting style has come expected to him now. He knows your next moves, which isn't good in the battle field. You're a little sloppy and way too predictable. With the help of a mentor, Slade is sure you'd be perfect.

He's deemed you his new apprentice before you even knew he had his eye on you. Or at least that's what he thought.

Slade doesn't show his emotions. Nobody can really tell what looks he gives under that mask of his. But he never seems surprised or shocked by anything. Slade has always been two steps ahead of everyone.

So to find you standing before him, that tense expression on your face underneath that domino mask, almost shocks him. Slade will need to add in your file how smart and sneaky you are.

"You did my work for me and came straight to me." Slade exclaims, his voice deep under the metal mask. "Excellent." He adds eerily, hands clasped behind his back.

Again, Slade is always two steps ahead of everyone. He'd knew you'd be coming, and he was ready. Ready to finally make you his apprentice.

If you'll agree, that is. But Slade is most confident he knows he will.
