A/N: Hey! My first Titan's story. So I never was happy with how things were left hanging at the end of season five. Lots of questions were left unanswered. Is Slade back? What's up with Terra? Are our favorite ships ever going to happen? Lots more questions came up too but I hope to answer a couple with my little theory. Hope you enjoy it!

Chapter 1

"You've reached Titan's Tower," comes Cyborg's voice. It echos through the empty, dark living area of Titan's Tower. "We can't answer your phone because we are fighting crime and keeping your butt safe. But if this is an emergency then we will find you. If this isn't an emergency then leave a message." The loud beep came and there was a bit of silence before a dark, deep voice was heard. "Do you know how to destroy a team, Robin? You go for the member who has the most heart. I can picture you right now, Robin. I can see you gritting your teeth as you listen to this message. Your fists are probably clenched. I imagine your eyes are narrowed under that little mask of yours. I bet you're angry at yourself because you slacked off for too long. You thought I was gone for good. You no doubt listened to the others who tried to convince you that Beast Boy was mistaken. That my robot he fought at the amusement park didn't mean a thing. Well if that's true, Robin... I'm very disappointed in you. I'm calling to give you a chance at redemption though. You no doubt have heard by now which of your little teammates is in danger. If I timed it right, they may even be in harms way right as you hear this message. Good luck. Oh! And Robin? It's good to be back." The voice, was Slade's.

A couple weeks earlier...

"This. Is. Idiotic." Raven sighs to herself as she stands in front of Beast Boy's bedroom door. She is holding a plate with a slice of tofu pizza on it and the smell makes her nose wrinkle. After shutting her eyes for a moment to prevent another sigh, she says, "Beast Boy?"

"I'm busy," his scratchy voice responds from the other side of the door.

"Doing what?"

"What do you need, Raven?"

"Starfire made you tofu pizza."

"I'm ok. Tell her thanks though."

Raven sighs again and sets the plate down in front of the door. "Maybe it's for the best. I hardly trust Starfire's cooking even when she uses real meat." Her comment receives no response from the green Titan's room. She waits a moment and listens. After a minute of silence she just mumbles, "fine," and walks up the hall. She has almost rounded the corner when she hears Beast Boy open and close the door to his room. Looking back, she sees that the pizza slice is gone from where she had left it in the hall.

Up the hall, the rest of the Titans are going on about their nightly routine. Cyborg is watching TV and Starfire hums to herself while brushing silky who sits contently in her lap. Robin is at the table on his laptop and focusing on whatever he is reading. When Raven enters, he looks up. "Well?"

"I left the food for him, but he refused to talk to me," she says with a shrug.

"Oh," Starfire says worriedly. "I fear for our friend. He lacks the friendly glow that makes him Beast Boy. What if he doesn't get better?"

"He will, Star," Robin says as he closes the computer. "He just needs time."

"He needs an attitude adjustment," Raven adds bluntly and all eyes look to her. "What? He does. Even if that girl is Terra, she doesn't remember him. If she is choosing to forget him or if she really doesn't remember is beside the point."

"Then what is the point, Ray?" Cyborg asks as he mutes the television.

"The point is he is being immature for sulking."

"Terra betrayed all of us, Raven. He was closest to her. The she sacrificed herself for us and we didn't even get a chance to process it before she was gone. If she really is back, then it makes sense for Beast Boy to want closure."

"But she's not back. Not really."

"Just give him space, Raven. Not everyone is like us. You and I can manage to ignore stuff like this. You more than me. But Beast Boy is more... sensitive."

"Another word for weak," she whispers and walks to the kitchen counter. A black aura surrounds the tea kettle and pours hot water into a teacup.

"Take that back," Cyborg demands and stands.

"I don't mean it in a bad way, Cyborg," she says with an emotionless tone. "But he needs to control his emotions."

"Beast boy can't bottle stuff like that up. You know that. It's probably the main thing that makes you two so different."

Raven just sighs as the teacup levitates into her hand. "This conversation is pointless. It's just a waist of energy." With that, she takes a sip of her tea and walks out.

Everyone is quiet, even Silky. The room grows dimmer as the sun vanishes on the other side of the tall windows. Robin rubs his neck in exhaustion and Starfire notices. "Robin, you mustn't stare at the tiny screen for so many hours. You'll strain your neck and it may cause permanent damage to your posture."

"I'm fine, Star."

"Not to mention the stress it puts on your eyes."

"I said I'm fine." His fatigue induced snap at her makes her quiet down. He stops rubbing his neck and glances up, seeing her sad expression. "Sorry, Starfire. I know you're just trying to help."

"Why have you been pouring over that computer all day?" Cyborg asks.

"I'm concerned about Terra's reappearance. I'm doing some research."

"Are you sure it's about Terra?"

"Of course it is," the teen leader says defensively.

"Are you sure it's not about Slade?" His comment earns him a stare from Robin. "BB said he heard his voice. Saw him. But he said it was a robot."

"It doesn't matter that it wasn't the real Slade. Someone was controlling it. I intend to find out who."

"What if-"

"Don't say it, Cyborg." Robin says as he opens the computer again.

Starfire speaks up again. "What if Slade is back?"

Robin gives her a look then glances to Cyborg. "Hey don't look at me, Robin! She's the one who said it. Although, I know we are all thinking it."

"Slade doesn't even have his own body. He had to have been destroyed when Raven defeated Trigon."

"If Terra can survive a caved in volcano then it's not crazy to think that Slade is back too."

"Well he isn't." Robin mumbles in a stern voice. "He can't be."

One could usually guess how upset Beast Boy was based on how old his video game was. The more mindless it seemed, the more depressed he was. Today he was playing Frogger... so it wasn't a good sign. He blankly stares at the screen as he reclines in his bean bag chair. His stomach lets out a low growl. He looks beside him to the empty plate on the floor. Raven had been sneaky. She knew only one slice of pizza wouldn't be enough for Beast Boy and he would come out in search for more. He doesn't want to leave his room though. He knows if he does then Robin will pester him with questions about Slade. Starfire will smother him with sympathy. Raven will probably go on about how wrong he is to think Terra is really back. And yet... all that seemed like a sacrifice worth making in the name of Tofu Pizza. He sighs and sets down his controller then picks up the plate. The door to his room opens and he pokes his head outside to see if anyone is coming. He inches along the walls. "bum bum ba da dum bum bum," he sings in his head. Usually when he sneaks to the kitchen late at night he would hum the Mission Impossible song aloud but now he wasn't feeling up to it. Instead it just lingers in his brain like his own personal soundtrack. That, of course, comes to a hault when he rounds the corner and almost runs into Raven. "Gah! Dude! You almost gave me a heart attack."

"Well sorry, but usually I can hear you coming. Why are you sneaking around."

"I'm just going to get more pizza."

"I thought you were busy."

"I am. Super busy! I've been busy in my room."

"Doing what?"

"Cleaning it."

Raven's eyebrow instantly raises. "Wow... that's the best you can do? You should work on your lying."

"Forget it," Beast Boy's shoulder's slump and he starts walking. The entire tower was in the same mood. It was too solemn for no reason. It seemed like the Titans had most of their problems behind them and yet joy eludes them. Once again, Terra has snatched everyone's attention and it pissed Raven off.

"Beast Boy?"

"Huh?" He turned to face her.

"I can't believe I'm suggesting this, but I know what may cheer you up..."
