Your mentor is humoring you, if only this once.

Slade isn't a good man. Heck, it's even easy to say he's a bad one. But he's not too keen on losing his best protege any time soon, so if it means sucking it up and having a little Christmas together, then he'll do it.

Warnings- He's a VERY bad guy. Manipulative, Toxic, Age Gap, Ab*sive, Mentor/Mentee power imbalance, and just bad stuff in general. Maybe DDDNE ?

I DO NOT CONDONE CANON SLADE, that said, this is my ALT where he didn't do certain bad things. He's fictional, so I think that it's valid to alter him a bit.
