To all those who didn't like where Things Change ended things. This fic, my attempt to set things right, is for you. I hope you enjoy it.
Prologue: Fragile Alliance
"Why did you do it?" Terra shouted into the darkness. "I told you I'd handle him!"
"I'd have thought you'd be grateful." replied Slade's cold voice as he stepped into view. "Your indulgence put your boyfriend at risk. I merely limited the damage."
"I was letting him down gently!"
"We lack the time to be gentle. Your plan to get to their computer already cost us time we didn't have. We should ha..."
"Forget it Slade." snapped Terra "I will never trust you with ANYTHING you could use to hurt my friends! If you EVER try..."
"May I remind you that we're the only ones who can do what needs to be done. Neither of us can do it alone nor can we afford to betray one and other. So dispense with the threats. This is where Robin would be telling you to deal with it."
"If Robin's as wonderful as you keep telling me, why aren't you using him?"
"Because, my dear, Robin doesn't understand how Helga thinks. Robin wouldn't understand that Helga is too dangerous to be left alive. Even if he were, he's not capable of setting out to kill someone. You are."
"Right after we've dealt with Helga..."
"We finish things."
