Slade and Robin in “Unfinished Business”

Slade

Excellent, Robin. I'm pleased. You're already proving to be the perfect apprentice.

Robin

This deal can't last forever.

Slade

It can. And it will. The Titans still have no idea that my Chronoton Detonator was more than a decoy. Now that my probes are inside their bodies, they could remain undetected for years, decades. Unless, of course, you disobey me, and I decide to destroy your former friends with a push of the button.

Robin

Sooner or later, you'll let your guard down. I will get that controller, and the instant they're out of danger, you will pay.

Slade

That sounds like a threat, young man. Quite a good threat, actually. Betrayal, destruction, revenge. We really do think alike. I monitored your vital signs during the mission. Elevated heart rate, adrenaline, endorphins. You won't admit it, but at some level, you enjoyed stealing for me. It was a thrill, wasn't it? You're going to keep stealing, Robin. And you're going to keep getting that thrill. And sooner or later, you will see things my way. Who knows? I might even become like a father to you.

Robin

I already have a father.
