A/N So I had more free time than I thought I would and I thought to myself just do it. I'm not sure why the Nike slogan, but Imma just roll with it. I also realized just now I have talked about my favorites. I just took out some of the stuff that didn't really belong in there, but I think you guys should at the very least check out Kryalla Orchid's stuff. If you actually enjoy what I write then her stuff will blow you away. The next I would suggest would be Japhith although to be perfectly honest it doesn't look like he will finish his two main series. I just remembered even though this is most likely pointless I do not own Teen Titans, if you for any reason thought I did you are probably delusional.

Robin had to fight to keep consciousness. He felt his whole torso was pinned against the wall. He looked at what was holding him. At first he could not make sense of what he saw. Then black feathers started floating down in front of him. That was when he realized he was being held by the two largest wings he had ever seen.

"Damn, need to work on my aim. Oh well." He then pushed until the blackness took over Robin.

"Richard?" the voice had been calling him insistent for some time.

He then shot up and found himself in the infirmary at the tower. He then saw all the other Titans standing around him. "How long was I out?"

"Only a few minutes since we found you, Raven got us here," Victor began, "So what happened? We got done handing the two blockheads over to PD and then we find you covered in feathers not twenty feet from a couple dozen tied up thugs."

Dick moved a little stiffly. "Bastard has wings," he said while stretching.

"Dude, is this about the vigilante? Cause I thought I smelled him but I didn't have a chance to look around," Gar asked curiously.

"Yeah. Oh he also calls himself Jason after the leader of the Argonauts. Had a nice chat, then his wings literally popped out of nowhere and pinned me to the wall."

"Well that's good to know," Raven said dryly.

"Okay, now that we know how he has been escaping detection we know we need to go about this in a different way," Dick stated while registering all the parts that hurt. "There is no real reason to have Gar try to follow his scent. Looks like its time we come up with a trap for him."

"Do you know what will work?" Kori asked.

"Still need to think on that one," Dick was lost in thought.

"Well whatever it is, it is going to have to wait at least until after tomorrow," Raven intruded on his thinking. "You had two cracked ribs. You may not feel it yet but trust me you are going to be exhausted for the time being."

Dick gave a sigh. "Okay, its going to take at least a couple days to set up a trap anyway." He got up and as soon as he did he felt very lightheaded and started to lose his balance, but Kori caught his shoulder.

"This also means no patrols. Am I clear?" Raven continued putting emphasis on the last words.

"Yes, Ma'am," Dick responded with a grin. Then he looked to Victor. "I need you to find some possibilities on a place to set this trap. I'll start working on it when ever I wake up."

"No problem. Now go get some rest before Raven forces you," he said shooting a cheeky look at Raven.

Dick made his way on his own power out of the infirmary with Kori at his side. Vic followed suit almost immediately.

"You okay?" Gar asked.

"What do you mean?" Raven responded.

"I mean the pain."

"I didn't get hurt at all." Raven was starting to wonder if he had been hit on the head.

"I've noticed that you always cringe slightly when healing someone." Gar had that same little smile he usually had.

"Oh, when I heal someone I absorb their pain and expel it. It only hurts for a few seconds at most." She honestly took it for granted, and rarely thought about it even while doing it.

"Oh, that's good to know I was worried about if any of us ever got hurt worse than like Dick did just now."

Raven put her hood up and then started walking to the door. At the door she paused and said, "Thank you, for the concern."

Gar stood there for a few minutes trying to figure out what that response meant. He knew he did not understand her very well, but he had learned some things since he had been a Titan and more since his "chats" with her. He was also willing to spend the time it would take to understand her.

Raven was trying to figure out why Garfield's concern had made her react that way. It was just a simple question. She was too new to letting her emotions (somewhat) free to understand them half the time. Not only that, but she was blushing and when she had felt it start she had nearly panicked, so she had run. As she entered her room she sighed. Feeling her pulse even out already she decided she did not need to meditate and so she read.

When Richard made it to his room he nearly collapsed on the bed. "Thanks Kori I wasn't sure I was going to make it on my own."

"You are most welcome, but I would like to ask you to be more careful in the future please Richard." Kori had a concerned look in her eyes.

"I was being careful," he reassured her. "There was no way I could have dodged him without knowing in advance what he was capable of. I didn't see the wings until after he had me pinned."

"I just worry about you because you always push yourself so hard. I fear for what will happen when you push too far for too long." Dick was stuck by the similarity to what Jason had said about him.

"Look Kori, I know you worry, but I'm more than capable of taking care of myself."

"I know you can take care of yourself," she replied with a little heat. "That does not mean that you do not push yourself too hard. When was the last day you took a break? If I am not mistaken that was when we were in Tokyo," she retorted accusingly.

"I'm sure I must have relaxed some time since then."

"No, you have not. Soon after that you started training harder than ever, and now the only low time you take is the times I can pull you away to spend time with me or our friends," Kori had raised her voice somewhat since they started this.

Dick recalled the time she was talking about. He had been called back to Gotham to help Batman take down a huge crime syndicate trying to move in on his territory. That visit had thrown him through a lot and he had been glaringly showed he still needed to improve.

He leaned back onto the bed. "Okay, I hear what your saying. It was just some stuff that happened when I left around that time. As you know, I went back to Gotham for a while to help Bruce. I wasn't performing at the level I had wanted so I just started going overboard. I'm sorry for worrying you. Once things are settled with this Jason I promise to slow down a bit."

"That is all I wanted, and you are forgiven," she said with her smile that always seemed to brighten a room.

This flashback reminded him of the awkward meeting with Barbara. She had wanted to see about maybe starting over. He had not wanted to hurt her, but after she had found out about him and Kori she had started talking to him less until he only saw her as Batgirl. At this he groaned.

"What is wrong, Richard? Is something still hurting?" Kori came closer to have a look.

"No, nothing like that. You just reminded me of a call I really don't want to make."

"What is this call about that could make one such as yourself despair?" she said with a mischievous glint in her eye.

He gave a chuckle at her jibe. "Did I ever tell you about Batgirl?"

"I know that she works with Batman, and has since before you left," she said with a contemplative look. "What does she have to do with it."

"Well we went out for a while when I was still Bruce's side-kick. Last time I was out in Gotham she had wanted to start up our relationship again. Well, when she ended up finding out about you she got really distant and I only ever saw her in costume afterward. Bruce told me recently I need to call her, and while I agree I'm really not looking toward it," Richard said as a summary.

At this Kori started laughing. Dick just sat there dumbfounded. After a few moments of laughter she said, "You mean to tell me that something so simple as a call to an old friend has you dreading it?"

"Well when you put it that way it sounds so simple," he said glumly. "But its not that simple. She started pushing me away when she found about you. I think I really hurt her."

"She probably was just embarrassed and has not found it in herself to reconnect," Kori reasoned.

"Isn't that a little extreme for embarrassment?" Richard replied skeptically.

She picked up his mask from where he had laid it on his nightstand when he laid down and asked, "Why do you where this besides the obvious identity protection?" She then put it on herself reminding Dick of the time he went to train with the True Master.

"It hides what I'm thinking and feeling from my enemies," he replied not sure why she was asking.

"Exactly, she was trying to hide her embarrassment from you." Then she took the mask off.

"It could just have easily been her hiding her hurt," he countered. He also realized the similarity in how he had hidden himself from his friends.

"If half of what you have told me about your mentor is true then I should think she would have to be tougher than that to handle him," she said with confidence.

"Well either way I do still need to call her," he was still dreading it.

"You just will never admit defeat will you?" she said in mock shock.

"Never. Not even if Superman himself comes here to kill me," he said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.

"If he so much as tried he would have to deal with me first," Kori replied in the same tone.

"Well then I wouldn't even have to do anything. I'd just stay back and let you cut loose."

"Well goodnight Richard," Kori said as a way of ending the conversation.

"Goodnight my warrior princess." Kori just had to smile at this.

Dick woke up at 730 still tired. He made his way to the common room after his shower where he discovered everyone working on the trap.

"Morning," he said as a way of of gaining there attentions. Kori greeted him like she did every morning, but he was too surprised to be embarrassed. The others also greeted him in their normal fashions. "So what have you guys got so far?" he asked after getting over his shock.

Raven brought a sheet of paper over to him. "We have narrowed down the locations to this list," she said. He glanced there was seven locations. "Right now we are working on ideas of how to lure him."

"Yeah and right now it looks like Gar has the best idea," Victor said in all seriousness.

"Lets hear it," Richard responded.

"Well I figure the way he finds most of his targets is like how we patrol. Its similar to how predator animals hunt. They look until they find traces of prey and follow them like that. Well we could put word out on the street about a supposed meeting by some heavy hitters, like say the mafia. Then all we have to do is lay the tracks lightly enough that he still has to find out where and therefore be less likely to figure out its a trap," he seemed as if he had put a lot of thought into it.

"Its a good idea. We'll see if we can't hammer out the details today and then start laying out the foot work tomorrow," Dick said in response not pointing out that it was nearly the same as what he had been thinking.

Later that day Dick had ended up taking a nap still feeling worn out from being healed. When he woke up and looked in the mirror he decided that he really should call Babs. He had put it off long enough.

He made the call and she answered. "Hey, Dick. Its been a while."

He decided to cut the bull for sake of hopefully making this less awkward. "Babs I think we need to talk."

"I thought that's what we were doing," she said feigning ignorance.

"You know what I mean. Its been too long since we talked at all," Dick started and took a breath before continuing. "I'm sorry about before. I didn't mean to hide her from you, and I'm sorry I hurt you."

A this she looked surprised. "Hurt me? Dick before that we had hardly even seen each other in forever. Yeah, I felt bad that you had never told me, but that wasn't really too big a deal."

"Then why did you start pushing me away? Did I do something else?" Dick was confused.

"Well," she paused and looked away for a second. "I was so embarrassed after making an ass of myself I just kinda started pulling away."

At this Dick said, "Crap. She was right."

"Who?" Barbara questioned.

"Starfire," Dick replied. "I told her about this and she said that was probably the case. She even laughed at me for having put off calling you so long."

"She wasn't mad at me?" Babs looked a bit surprised.

"No, she understood that you didn't know we were together. Just please don't tell her you were right, she'll just rub it in," Dick pleaded.

"Oh, hell no. The moment I meet her I am going to tell her. I mean, who woulda thought? Dick Grayson is wrong," she started giggling as he gave her a look of betrayal.

He lay there and talked to her for a while him telling her about life at the tower, and her giving him stories to tease Bruce with next they talked. Then there was a knock at Dick's door. He answered it to find Kori at the door.

"Is there someone in here with you?" Kori looked curiously around the room.

"No, just making that call like we talked about yesterday." He showed her his communicator.

At this Babs immediately said, "You were right Starfire!"

"Dammit forgot about that," Dick said. "You were supposed to keep quiet about that."

"I made no such promise," she retorted. "Anyway, it was nice meeting you Starfire. See ya Dick."

Kori blinked at this and then said, "I believe the English idiom is I told you so."

"Yeah, yeah, rub it in. Anything new going down with the plan?" he asked as they started walking down the hall.

Jason had found about this meeting that the mafia had supposedly set up the day before. After a great amount of tracking and interrogations he discovered that no one important in the city knew anything about it before a couple days ago.

He supposed it was probably someone from the last city he had worked in. The gangs there had not been very sophisticated, but he had pissed off some very rich and powerful men there. So it was most likely one or more of them had come for him.

He did not learn the folly of his actions until after the warehouse had sealed as he knew it would. He looked around at not a group of thugs as he expected, but the Teen Titans. "Fuck. I didn't think it'd be you guys. Shoulda thought over the whole trap thing more carefully."

"So anything to say for yourself before we take you down, Jason?" Robin questioned.

"Well I guess I'll start with a story. Good friend of mine, okay I guess that's a bit of a stretch of the truth. Well, an acquaintance comes to me and he tells me for a nominal fee he can hack into the Titans Database. I figured he'd just get himself caught and considering he knows almost nothing about me I ponied up the cash." He said this with an air of drama. "Of course he did get caught. Funny thing though he was actually able to make some copies into a server that apparently even the Titans couldn't trace." Still no openings, and Robin knew this guy was just blowing smoke anyway. "Mostly useless info to me, stuff on Slade and some other regulars in town. Though there was one interesting bit of info. It was surprising to learn that about you. I guess super-heroes come from all stocks wouldn't you say Dick?"

Robins eyes narrowed at this. Starfire jerked as if she had been slapped and the others just looked on in surprise. This guy knew his name, and therefore he likely knew Batman's as well. "If you truly know so much about me why let me know?"

At this he threw a flash drive to Robin. "This acquaintance of mine also left his hacking tools behind. Figured you'd want it to help shear up security."

"That didn't exactly answer my question." Robin was still shocked that he knew.

"The hacker you guys caught a couple weeks ago was the one. He wasn't able to look at it before you caught him trust me if he had he'd have squealed it as soon as you left the room. Besides I took his files as soon as he was done. I wasn't about to trust him with anything from you guys."

"Why would you pay to have the files hacked just to go and protect our secrets?" Robin couldn't get a handle on this guy. He just made no sense.

"I am just too curious for my own good I suppose." Robin decided to settle for this answer.

"So, there is no way you can escape this time. How about you come quietly for once?" Robin said warily.

"Oh, come on you should already know I wont give up so easily. Your gonna have to take me down."

And in an instant he ran straight at Beastboy believing he would have the slowest reaction time, and threw a punch. Beastboy morphed to a bug and then after the punch was thrown into a gorilla and retaliated with his own punch which Jason dodged by jumping over him. Mid jump he was blind sided by Starfire's even stronger punch and was thrown through the air. Jason landed gracelessly. He recovered just quickly enough to dodge a blast from Cyborg. As he was dodging that he had heavy machinery thrown in his direction from raven and multiple projectiles from Robin. He caught one of Robin's birdarangs and threw it at Raven who lost grip of the machinery in her haste to defend herself. He then was rushed by Beastboy in wolf form who did something he never expected from the changeling. Beastboy shifted back to his own body as he closed in and threw a fist aimed directly at a weak spot, but then again shifted at the last second into a Gorilla adding an incredible amount of power to the quick punch. Again he was lunched and was nearly caught off guard by Starfire again. He was ready for this so he shot his wings out at her and sent her flying in the other direction and sent himself in Ravens direction retracting his wings to slip in between launched machinery she had prepared and as she set up a shield he flipped around and used it to rebound at Cyborg. As he dodged Cyborg's punch though he was hit by a taser birdarang thrown by Robin.

He collapsed to his knee and looked up at Robin breathing heavily. "Man, you guys are just too good." He then passed out on the floor.

Robin knelt next to him and handcuffed him Raven then wrapped his torso in her powers so he could not use his wings on them. Robin then said, "We'll need to keep him at the tower since he seems to actually know who I am. He likely also knows about others as well."

They all nodded then Starfire carried Jason's unconscious body as Raven followed and the guys went for the T-car.

Jason woke up in an empty room apparently made of metal and had a one-way mirror on one wall. His mask and swords were gone. He knew he would not be able to break out so he sat with his back against the opposite wall and waited eyes closed. As he waited he thought about Samantha and what she would think when he didn't show up on Wednesday. He had not missed one since he started the tradition. Ultimately he went back to when she had saved him. She had knocked him behind cover when she realized it was a bomb they had found. He had been eleven and she was ten. She still reacted faster than him. Unfortunately it had been meant as a giant flash-bang apparently and she had been looking directly at it when it blew. It had nearly blown there eardrums out. It had caused her to lose her sight permanently. He still felt guilt over it, but she had made it clear on multiple occasions that if he didn't stop blaming himself she would kick his ass. It had been her decision and she would do it again given the chance. He continued on multiple trains of thought until Robin stepped in through a door that had not been noticeable before.

"Tell me everything you know." It was most definitely not a request.

"Every name in the database. I have a very good memory. It only took me a few times to get it all memorized," Jason responded without a hint of embellishment or humor.

"You claim you fight for justice, why would you let someone hack into our database." He showed not a hint of emotion.

"Curiosity."

"Don't feed me that line again, I know you didn't do it for nothing."

"It got me here instead of prison didn't it?" Jason smiled.

"Why would you rather be here? You know its harder to escape from here than any prison."

"Maybe it's cause I like you Dick, or maybe I'm just not as smart as you think. So how is it working under the great Bruce Wayne himself? I figure he must be hard to work with. He must be trying to make something up to his parents. He needs to learn to let go much more than you do."

Robin left without answering or any further questioning.

Dick got to the viewing room and said to Raven, "He wasn't even stretching the truth, was he?"

"He was completely honest until your last question," she replied with a hint of concern in her voice.

"So what do we do?" Gar asked.

"I really don't know. He knows the name of every Titan across the globe. Many of them wont care, but many of them have people to protect like Victor and I," Robin replied. "For now we will keep a constant watch." He looked at Jason who was now doing exercises in the confines of the cell.

Jason had been in the cell for two days. They were not neglecting him, he had been fed nutritious meals. Sometimes he was grilled by Robin more, sometimes someone came and tried to have a conversation with him. It was obvious they were trying to get more out of him with that. Once he had even been granted a game of chess with Raven. It had gone on for a while, but he had been pretty ineffectual and lost pretty easily. He never was very good at planning.

He heard an alarm go off through the whole tower and after a few minutes called to his room, "Anything big?"

"Nothin you need to concern yourself with," Cyborg's voice came through the speaker.

When Dick arrived at the common room the others had already assembled. "No known perpetrator. Centered at Fourth and Tandem. Raven, get us their fast." As they arrived on the outskirts of the scene he said, " We need immediate evac of any and all civilian presence. I'm going to track down whoever is behind this as fast as possible. You three just look around for noncombatants, Beastboy I want you on foot," he said this all in a quick manner.

Star gave him a meaningful look. "And I promise not to take him on without notifying you guys first," he said trying to reassure his friends as he left.

On arrival at the top of one of the buildings Raven collapsed. Starfire reacted instantly. "Raven!" she cried. Starfire held her gently. She then checked Raven's pulse. It was going wild.

"Raven," Starfire called gently but firmly, "What's wrong."

She was barely conscious, but was able to grind out, "So... much... fear. Overwhelming."

"Okay, rest now Raven. I need to get you back to the tower with Cyborg."

She made a call to Robin explaining the situation as she took off. Also mentioning what Raven said.

After that Robin made a call of his own.

"This is the fastest kid alive," came the jovial response.

"Wally," Dick said staring out at the destruction, "I need your help."

Kid Flash was instantly serious. Robin only asked for help when any sane person would have given up ten steps ago, "Whats the case boss?"

"Bring Jinx down to Jump with you," he said in a distracted tone, trying to think of what could have caused this level of fear, "Area around Fourth and Tandem, unknown perp, need immediate evac of civilians, Take Jinx to BB, Star took Raven to recover from some problem linked with her empathic abilities."

"Be there in a flash boss," Kid Flash said with a quick smile.

With that done Robin began his search.

Beastboy had just arrived on the edge of the designated area. It was a war-zone. Shrieks of terror filled the air. The streets looked like they had been fire-bombed. People were attacking one another with nothing at all making even the remotest sense. Oddly enough only a small portion of the people in the area were rioting. It seemed to be the only reason this hadn't spread further was due to relative isolation of the area. On one side was the city park deserted after nightfall and another side bordering the east river. Add that to the deserted warehouses on a third side there was only one way for the riot to spread.

It was at this time that Kid Flash sped up with Jinx in his arms. Setting her down he exclaimed, "Man I've been looking for you for like the last five seconds!"

"What are you doing here?" Beastboy asked after the initial moment of shock.

"Rob called us in, said Stars taking Raven to the tower to recover," Flash responded, "I'm leaving Jinxy with you to help you and Imma go off to clear this place out alone since yer all slowpokes."

"What's wrong with Raven?" Beast Boy interjected before he could dash off.

"Don't know specifics, he said it had to do with her empathic abilities, Cya." He was off before they could respond.

"Okay, so we need to look for people and anything suspicious, got it Jinx?" Beastboy said to the slightly sick looking girl. He needed to focus on the mission at hand and just trust that Raven would be alright.

"Yeah I got it, I'll just follow your lead," She said with a queasy smile.

"So Flash a bit too fast for ya?" BB inquired.

"Only when he's in a hurry," she replied as they made their way into the fray.

"Well you know what they say about speedsters?" he said with a wicked grin. Glancing around to make sure no one was being attacked.

Jinx kicked in a door and they began searching an apartment complex for anyone sane enough to save quickly.

"Well I can imagine you have a lot of ideas, but I hardly think this is the time," she replied as if this was a perfectly normal activity.

"Ah fine," BB said in mock dismay. Then all of a sudden his ears twitched and he made a motion to Jinx and moved to a door and barreled it down.

This surprised Jinx. For the first time she had noticed that he had grown in more than height he also had put on some muscle. He still was a bit on the skinny side, but he looked like he could actually do something with his own muscles.

Cheri had been hiding where she always did when she was scared. She was in the hall closet. The monsters had started hurting people in the streets. She could hear the screams and yells. She could feel the tears streaming down her face, and couldn't stop them coming. Soon after they started in the streets she heard them in the walls and ceilings. Then she had seen them lurking in the shadows waiting for her to turn her back on them.

She had run to the closet as soon as she could overcome the fear that moving would cause them to strike. She had sat there crying since.

Then she heard a loud crash out in the living room. She immediately went silent. She saw two of them coming into the front room through the slits in the closet door. One green one and one pale one.

"I don't see anyone Beastboy, you sure someones here," the pale one said.

The green one did not respond he just took a deep breath and walked around the room taking a few more. Then he looked directly at the closet.

Cheri couldn't help it. She let out a squeak. Then the green one was in the door with a menacing look reaching for her.

Beast Boy put the best smile he could muster on his face and held his hand out to the girl. "It's okay, I'm here to help." When his hand got closer she latched on and bit him. Hard. It took every ounce of self control BB had not to accidentally hurt her. He just scooped her up and after removing her mouth from his hand said, "It's okay, I wanna help." She still looked absolutely terrified, but made no further struggles and kept quiet. "Don't worry, no one is going to hurt you."

As they made their way out Jinx pulled out her comm. "Hey, Flash we got a kid here for extraction," he was there the moment she finished.

"Careful, she bites," Beast Boy said showing his hand with a grin as he handed her to Kid Flash.

"So does she," Flash replied pointing at Jinx with a grin plastered on his face then speeding off.

Beast Boy arched an eyebrow at Jinx. She gave him an evil looking grin. He decided to let it go.

"Hey Jinx, somethings been bugging me about this whole thing," Beast Boy said with a frown.

As she replied he shifted to a wolf for a moment to sniff at the air. "What is it?"

After shifting back he said, "Two things, first there is something in the air. Something I've never smelled before. The other is the fear."

"Well it is a riot Sherlock. There's bound to be fear floating around," Jinx said sarcastically.

"That's the thing, for such a small riot there is too much fear smell. It's like every single person in the area is absolutely nothing but fear."

"That could explain why the girl was so scared of you. I'll tell Robin about this, see if you can find the source of this foreign smell." Jinx felt as though she should know what was going on here.

Robin hadn't been making much headway. He couldn't figure out what had been causing this or where it originated. The streets were a no go due to the damage done by the rioters. There was no pattern to the destruction. It was like those that were doing it had gone insane.

It was at this point that his comm went off. "Robin... is this important? I'm kinda busy right now Jinx."

"Yeah, I think so. BB told me that he's been smelling something off ever since we stepped foot here. He says there's too much fear."

"Raven said something along those lines. What did he mean by too much?"

"He said it's almost as if these people feel nothing but fear. That the scent is much more prevalent than any riot this size should have. He said something else, that there was something in the air he didn't recognize. Hes trying to track the source down now."

"Thanks for the update, keep me posted." He stood looking out on the people in the streets. It just didn't make sense. Riots grew they didn't shrink on their own. This one however had done just that. As a matter of fact this couldn't even really be called a riot anymore so few were out. Kid Flash hadn't had enough time to make this much of a difference.

He wasn't sure what made him do what he did next. A gut feeling maybe. He jumped down a fire escape to get to street level. He didn't think he would recognize a smell that BB didn't. He took a deep breath and was assaulted by many smells. Mostly smoke from the fires that had been burning since before they got there. There was something else though. It was faint and he almost didn't catch it. It was a very distinct smell he hadn't smelled in a long time.

It all made sense to him now. Raven's collapse, BB noticing something off with the situation, the reason so few were out, and why he hadn't found anyone causing this chaos. It was time he searched the warehouses. He pulled out his grappling hook and took off in their direction.

Raven had been meditating in the room with Cyborg since Star brought her back. He had been able to do nothing the whole time, and had been very worried due to Raven not having spoken since what she said to Robin. It was at times like this that he felt useless just standing there watching Raven fight her own battle.

"Raven, please say something. Are you okay?" Cyborg said desperately. He did not expect an answer any more than he had last time. Or the time before that. Or the dozen times before then.

Raven's eyes snapped open."I'm sorry Cyborg. I had to sort through all those emotions. I accidentally absorbed some of the fear when I felt how powerful it was. I need to go back and help those people. Something foreign was there and I believe it was causing all this fear," she said tonelessly. He had been startled at first but when Raven's words went on he was very intent.

As she was about to leave again Jason spoke up, "Come on I know something big is going down out there. You been silent for too long. There has to be some way you guys can trust me to help you."

Raven looked at Cyborg and said, "It's your call."

A few minutes of waiting later Cyborg stepped into the cell. "If you wanna help, I'm gonna have to put this collar on you. If you try to break it, it will shock you. If you so much as sneeze in the general direction of one of us, it will shock you. If I feel board and decide to shock you, it will shock you. So what's your choice?"

Jinx had followed Beast Boy all the way to the warehouse district where he had abruptly changed back to human form and stared intently for a few moments at one of them a few hundred feet away.

"This it, Beastboy?" she questioned.

"Yeah seems so. The smell is still faint, but I'm pretty sure this is it."

Beastboy pulled out his comm at the same time as Robin landed next to him, and Starfire followed suit. She had homed in on Robin. Raven and Cyborg and Jason materialized a few feet away.

At first Beastboy was stunned, but then he saw the collar on Jason's neck he grew pale knowing what it did. "So... I guess you figured it out?" he said.

Robin nodded. "Raven, are you sure you're okay for this?"

"All I needed was to meditate," she said in a low voice.

"You try anything funny on us Jason and I will have you locked up permanently."

"Sounds good to me," he said with a smile.

The Boy-Wonder pulled his comm out as BB went over to Raven to talk quietly. "Flash. I need you here now."

He was there an instant later. "What is it Boss?"

Robin looked out at the warehouses. "Scarecrow."
