slade’s eye is wide, and it feels impossible to close. he doesn’t have to look down to know what’s happened. he’s been stabbed before. the only question is how deep it goes and how fatal it will be. he can feel it stuck in him and then he feels it start to be drawn out, blood gushing beyond it.
rose.
the titans - they’d changed her. but not enough. not enough to take his blood from her, to stop her from being the kind of KILLER dick grayson would never allow himself to become. he’d trained her well. too well? no.
she’s his daughter, after all.
slade’s hand moves to grab at rose’s shoulder, grip strong and vicious. ‘you - can’t have him.’ joey is with him. joey is safe with him. he can’t leave. it can’t be allowed.
never.
he feels himself getting weaker, pushing all his intensity towards keeping joey inside. safe. this won’t kill him. he’s survived WORSE.
