(AN:) Yeah, I know I'm wrong about why Slade went down the dark path, but since I didn't get to read the comic I really don't know the real reason and I have a feeling Wikipedia is wrong so if anyone wants to tell me, I'll be glad to listen and learn!

"Jericho? Jericho!" Kole screamed when she walked through the door and saw Jericho fallen on the other side, almost falling off the roof. She quickly ran towards him and grabbed his arm before he completely fell over, saving his life.

"Kole, is he ok?" Beast Boy asked, appearing along with Raven by his side. Raven was worried when Kole ran out of the room so he asked Beast Boy to help find her.

"He's breathing," Kole answered, sitting down and placing his head on her lap. She ran her hand through his blond hair, "Not awake though. Slade must have done something to him."

"He looks like he's in a deep slumber," Raven examined.

"Wait, Kole, did you say Slade did something? He was here?" Beast Boy asked, surprised they didn't her him from downstairs.

"Yes, Scarlett was here too, but I don't see her anywhere," Kole approved, looking around the roof, "She might have gone downstairs for help."

"Kole, would you like to try and see if you can get Jericho to wake up?" Raven asked, sitting in her meditation position.

Kole nodded her head, setting him down carefully on the floor. He placed her hand on his forehead and Raven chanted her words, "Azarath. Mention. Zinthose." Her eyes opened, glowing white as Kole felt herself jumping out of her body and into Jericho's.

Kole opened her eyes and sat on her knees, rubbing her eyes. When she was fully awake, she saw she was sitting in someone's kitchen.

"Mommy, are you alright?"

"Yes, Grant, Mommy's ok. You have your brother to thank for that."

"I'm sorry for doing that, Mommy! I just wanted that man to go away."

"Joseph, you don't have to be sorry about anything, you saved my life! Your father would have been proud of you."

"Yeah, if he wasn't at work all the time."

"Now, Grant, you know that's not true."

"Actually, Mommy, Grant is right."

Grant? Joseph? Why does Kole have a feeling she heard those names before?

She gasped, that was Jericho's real name and his brother's. Does that mean she's in an old memory that Jericho is stuck in? She got up on her feet and looked out from the window counter and saw a woman and two little boys sitting next to her on the floor. She walked around into the living room and was met with three surprised faces. There was a woman; Kole guessed it might be the mother of the two kids. The older one looked like he was seven as the younger one was about six.

"Jericho?" Kole asked, surprised to see him. It wasn't really him though; it was a smaller version of him.

He shook his head, "Joseph Wilson."

"Oh, let me help you up!" Kole said, quickly walking towards the fallen woman with bruises and cuts all over her body. She slowly helped her up.

"Thank you Dear that was very kind. If you don't mind, can you help me to the chair?" She asked, pointing to a red leather seat. Kole nodded her head as she slowly walked towards it, making sure she didn't hurt the woman. Kole studied her face. She looked like Jericho.

When Kole carefully sat her down she sighed and said, "Thank you again. Now, if you don't mind me asking-"

"Oh, no, of course not!

"What's your name?"

"My name is Kole, ma'am."

"Well, Kole, that is a beautiful name. If you also don't mind, how did you get inside our house?"

Kole hesitated, she really didn't think out the answer to that question.

"Well ma'am," Kole started to say, but then was interrupted by smoke. Joey and Grant hid behind Kole who was standing in front of them. Kole was ready to fight whoever it was until she gasped at whom it was.

"Slade?" Kole yelled, seeing the smoke clear up and showing the man with the black and orange mask. The thing that was different about him was you could see his two eyes instead of one.

"Slade?" The woman repeated, jumping forward on her chair.

"Daddy?" Joey and Grant asked together, peaking from behind Kole's legs.

"Daddy?" Kole repeated, looking down at the two boys.

His eyes went wide as more smoke appeared and the man disappeared. Kole ran over to where he was, but she didn't see anything different. What just happened?

"Kole, were you sure that was Slade?" The woman asked.

"I'm positive. Where I come from, I know Slade very well," Kole explained, trying not to ruin the past memory, "Excuse me, Misses Wilson, but is Slade related to this family by any chance?"

"Kids, it's time to go to sleep," Mrs. Wilson said to her kids. They wind at first but then they laughed as they ran upstairs. Kole turned around, facing the woman again and saw her face sad.

"Slade was a wonderful man when we first met," She began to tell the story. Kole sat on the carpet in front of her, listening to the story, "We were in the US Army, where I was his guerilla warfare instructor. We fell in love, and soon, married and had the boys. The thing is; he always kept a secret identity underneath his face. What I know, and no one else does is Slade went through experiments that transformed him into a metahuman, and he then turned into the mercenary Deathstroke."

"Deathstroke?" Kole asked.

"That's his other name. What I don't know, is why he's undercover as a different person. Maybe he thinks we won't accept him or something like that."

"Do you know where he is during the day?"

"He says he's at work, but I know it can't be a real job."

Kole was going to ask something else, but something caught her off guard. There was two screams heard from upstairs in the boys room. Kole jolted up and zipped upstairs, seeing the boy's room door open. She ran inside and saw the place ruined. Grant was lying on the ground as Joey was nowhere to be seen.

She was about to try to wake up Grant, but she was in a new place. There were crates surrounding her, and it was as she was in the shadows.

"What do you want from me?"

"We just want your daddy to come, nothing else. Don't worry; if your dad listens to whatever we say, then you won't get hurt."

That was Joey talking, Kole knew for sure. She looked over the crates next to her and saw him tied up in a chair in the middle of men dressed in black uniforms. Kole was about to jump up and fight, but knowing it would change something, she couldn't. Something important had to happen here, but what?

"Here's Deathstroke now," One of the men informed. Kole looked and saw Slade except with a different uniform. Instead of his black and orange mask, it was more like a hood covering his face. It uniform was different too; it was more like clothing rather than armor. He had weapons on him too, such as a sword and more pockets filled with things.

"Alright, I know you have him, Jackal," He said when he walked in. The men moved to the side, showing Joey tied up.

"Help!" He yelled, trying to struggle free.

"We'll let the kid go, only if you tell us what we need to know," Jackal said.

"And what would that be?"

"I think you know that as a fact."

"If you think I would ever share the information, you're wrong!"

"Well, you know I'm not a nice man, so looks like your chances are up." Jackal nodded his head as one of the men took out his sword from the side and walked in front of Joey. Kole jumped from behind the crate and kicked the man, sending him towards the side wall.

"Kole!" Joey yelled.

"Don't just stand there, attack her!" Jackal ordered, pointed to Kole. The two guards that were still left standing ran to her, weapons drawn out. The first one ran to Kole, she jumped up and have him run past her. The second one appeared in front of Kole when she landed and swung his sword, but Kole ducked and rolled behind him, kicking his back and send him face smack to the other guy. Deathstroke knew this was his chance so he attacked Jackal. With the two guys down, Kole ran over to where Joey was and turned her finger into a crystal. Using her sharp crystal, she was able to cut the rope without problem. When Joey was free, Kole picked him up in her arms and they ran out of the room, leaving Deathstroke and Jackal together.

"Shouldn't we help that man too?" Joey asked, referring to Deathstroke.

"Trust me, Joey, he can take care of himself," Kole answered. She got the door. When she put her hand on the knob and turned it, everything surrounding her turned black and Joey disappeared from her arms.

"Alright, I know you have him, Jackal."

"We'll let the kid go, only if you tell us what we need to know."

Wait, that was the same part of the conversation Deathstroke and Jackal had before. Kole turned her head around and saw the six figures standing in the middle of the darkness with nothing around them. Kole didn't wait, she ran towards them to try and push everyone away, but instead she ran right past them. She looked down at herself, she was her normal self, so then why did she just ran though the guys?

"And what would that be?" Deathstroke asked.

"I think you know that as a fact."

"If you think I would ever share the information, you're wrong!"

"Well, you know I'm not a nice man, so looks like your chances are up." Jackal nodded his head as one of the men took out his sword from the side and walked in front of Joey. Kole's eyes went wide as she tried to take the sword away from the man's hand, but her arm went through his. The man sliced his sword across Joey's neck. Kole let out a blood curdling scream and Joey was screaming first, but then he was quiet.

"Joey!" Deathstroke screamed, running towards him. The four men ran away, leaving Joey bleeding with Deathstroke.

Kole had stopped screaming. She just stood there, her eyes still wide and she was breathing heavy. One hand was on her chest as the other one was out in front of her, her fingers squeezing shut in a fist.

Once again, her surrounding changed again, back to the Wilson House. There, Mrs. Wilson was standing in perfect shape, but the man next to her didn't look familiar. Kole was standing in a far corner of the living room where the two were standing in the middle.

"I save him just in time, Adeline, that's what matters," The man said.

"Save him? You damaged him! It's your fault he's now mute! He was a young, innocent child that you harmed because of your stupid job!"

"It wasn't my job that caused him; they're people who are after me. They used Joey to get information out of me."

"So, instead of telling them what they wanted, Slade, you let them almost kill our son?!"

Slade? That white haired man wearing what looked like a brown hunter outfit was Slade?

"I didn't know he was going to try and kill him. Luckily he only cut off his voice box."

Adeline gasped, "Luckily? Luckily?!" She grabbed a gun that was on the table next to her and pointed it to Slade.

"What do you think you're going to do with that?" Slade gasped, trying to take it out of her hands, but she pulled it back.

She didn't say anything. She hesitated at first, but then she pulled the trigger, sending the sound booming through the room and hitting Slade's right eye. He screamed as he fell on his knees, covering his right eye. Adeline dropped the gun and ran upstairs. Kole ran after her and she saw her packing her things. Joey and Grant were asleep in their room. Once Adeline finished packing, she ran into the boys' room and packed their important things.

Grant woke up from the noise, "Mom, what's going on?"

"Grant, honey, wake up your brother. We're leaving," She answered, shutting the suitcases tight.

"Leaving?" Grant said, getting out of bed and shaking his little brother.

"Now is not the time to ask questions."

Kole ran back downstairs, seeing Slade still on his knees, breathing. There was blood covering his hands and the carpet below him. She heard Grant scream when he saw his father on the ground. She turned around and saw the two boys crying; wanting to go to their father, but their mother pulled them out the door, slamming it hard.

Kole then returned back to the darkness once again, trying to think what just happened. There were tears in her eyes, escaping down her cheek. She had no idea about all this, and she wondered why Jericho never told her.

"So, you saw it all?" A voice said behind her. Kole turned, seeing her boyfriend standing there with his hands behind his back.

Kole just slowly nodded her head. Jericho walked over to her and wiped the tears with his thumb, looking into her dark blue eyes. Jericho cracked a small smile.

"Jericho, did this really all happen?" Kole whispered, holding onto his hand as it was on her cheek. Jericho frowned as he nodded.

"I'm sorry, Kole. I just, didn't know how you were going to take it if I told you."

"Joseph Wilson, I love you, don't you ever forget that. I don't care who you belong to, that will never change my feelings."

Jericho smiled, kissing her cheek.

"There's something else I need to show you," He said, closing his eyes. There were pictures then spinning around them two until Kole and Jericho appeared somewhere very familiar to Kole. Jericho's eyes opened as he looked at Kole, sad.

Kole looked on her left and saw regular day Slade and Scarlett. She saw Slade kicking Scarlett and Jericho flying out, thrown to the side as a doll. Slade then picked up Scarlett's body and jumped off the tower into the night shadow. Kole covered her mouth with her hand.

"Slade took Scarlett?" She asked. Jericho nodded. Things around them started spinning again as Kole slowly was being lift. She grabbed Jericho's hand, trying to pull herself down.

"You're going back to your body," Jericho said, letting go of her hand.

Kole opened her eyes and she gasped, seeing Raven, Jericho and Beast Boy in front of her, looking down.

"Kole, are you alright?" Raven asked, helping her sit up. Jericho sat next to her, feeling sad. Kole placed her hand on his cheek, moving her thumb back and forth.

"Come on, we should go tell the other Titans," Kole said, getting up.

"Tell the others, what?" Beast Boy asked, standing up. Kole and Jericho ran, having Raven and Beast Boy follow after them.

"Robin!" Kole screamed, trying to get his attention. The Parents weren't where anymore; it was just the Titans left cleaning up the room.

"What is it Kole?" Robin asked, holding a bag which Starfire was filling paper plates in.

"There's something important I have to tell you. Slade took Scarlett."

The room was dead silence when she said the last part. Speedy ran through the crowd and said, "Tell me you're lying!"

It's my fault Speedy. I let Slade defeat me and take her," Jericho said, in sign language of course.

"Oh my god. My girlfriend is with the only villain who's never been to jail! What are we going to do?" Speedy yelled, throwing his hands in his hair.

"Don't worry. I'm going to go find him and get her back," Jericho said, turning around and about to leave through the door when a hand on his shoulder stopped him.

"You're not going alone because I'm coming too," Kole said, standing next to him, "I know the truth, and I will help."

Jericho smiled as he hugged his girlfriend.

"A Teen Titan is never alone," Herald added, "I'm coming too."

"Count me in," The other Titans said after one another.

Jericho smiled as Kole did too. She turned to face Jericho and said, "Like Herald said, no matter what, a Teen Titan is never alone."
