When Raven teleported herself back into her room she immediately noticed that Beast Boy hadn't left.

"Can i help you Beast Boy?" She asked wondering why he was still in here since he knows very well that she doesn't like having people in her room.

Beast Boy fidgeted nervously for a minute before opening his mouth

"You, restored her memory?" He finally asked in disbelief

"I warned her first. I warned her that her past was probably something she didn't want to remember but she insisted" Raven explained, thinking Beast Boy was angry with her.

But instead Beast Boy was shocked. Raven had been the last to trust Terra before her betrayal and although she had looked for a way to bring Terra back he thought that bringing her back from becoming a statue would be as far as Raven was willing to go, he never would've thought she would be the one to bring her back into their lives.

"Thanks Rae" Beats Boy said before he left her room, she smiled a small smile as he left but once her door was closed her smile faltered and she sighed.

"What did we just get ourselves into?" She asked herself in a whisper of a voice.


Back in her bedroom Terra lay flat on her back on her bed. Her hands rested comfortably on her stomach as she sighed heavily and a tear or two escaped her control.

"God i hope i'm wrong" she muttered as she ran her hands over her face.

Despite how concerning the matter of Slade's secret identity was Terra found that she was only able to focus on it for a moment or two. It was ironic really, she spent five years running from her past and when she actually managed to forget it, she begged to have it back. She couldn't believe that her friends truly trusted her again, or that she could honestly say she has friends. Raven of all people had helped her, realizing how the two of them left things Terra really couldn't believe that one.

"Ava, dinner!" A woman's voice, coated in a thick French accent, called from downstairs.

"Coming mom" Terra called back to the woman posing as her step mother. As she stood up she couldn't help but let a snicker escape her control, forget keeping an eye on her, Terra was wondering what Slade could be bribing Madame Rouge and Doctor Light with just to convince them to work together.


Although he didn't say anything, Robin was becoming a little suspicious that his teammates might be up to something. Raven and Cyborg appeared perfectly normal however Beast Boy sounded nervous every time the leader spoke to him throughout supper and Starfire hadn't shown up to the table at all.

"Has anybody seen Starfire?" Robin finally questioned when it became obvious that the alien girl wasn't going to be joining the rest of the team at the table any time soon.

The other three titans quickly exchanged glances. It was rare that all five titans ate dinner together, unless you counted going for pizza or sitting on the couch and watching TV while simultaneously eating the contents of their own take-out boxes. On the rare occasions that the group did sit at the table and eat an actual meal together Starfire never missed it, she was always eager to spend time with her friends.

"She said she wasn't feeling very good" Raven fibbed and Robin raised an eyebrow, his mask moving with it.

"She seemed fine earlier" he commented, growing even more suspicious.

"Maybe she's got a stomach bug, every time i get one i'm fine one minute and puking my guts out the next" Beast Boy offered, his voice still cracking from his nerves like it had been all night.

The other three stared at Beast Boy with a mix of disgust and slight consideration, but mostly disgust.

"I'll check on her after supper" Raven said, breaking the silence and being the first to stop glaring at Beast Boy.

Robin looked like he was considering checking on Star himself but instead he just nodded and returned to picking at his potatoes.

Mentally Raven sighed in relief, she knew they shouldn't have included Star in the earlier discussion. They should've waited until they had proof to tell Starfire, she had been so upset that nobody had seen her since the 'secret meeting'. She was most likely in her room crying, talking to her stuffed animals about how this just couldn't be true. Reasoning that Terra has lied before and this is just another one of her tricks, suddenly Raven had to stop her eyes from widening.

Could it be another one of Terra's tricks?

It was true that she had forgotten, Raven had felt the enormous block of energy when she used her powers on Terra, and could only assume that the energy had been the mental block. But could Terra have lied from the moment her memory returned?

Raven didn't think so, what could Terra possibly have to gain by lying?

It doesn't matter, tonight the four titans who knew about this were going for proof and then this whole mess would either be over in a matter of seconds, or it was just beginning.


It was late, well past midnight, when Madame Rouge entered Slade's underground hideout. He had asked her and Dr. Light to report to him regularly on Terra. Typically she had nothing to report and tonight was no different than any other night.

"Madame Rouge" Slade greeted in his usual gentle yet threatening voice, he didn't turn to face his guest.

"The girl has showed no signs that she remembers her past, as usual" the woman bitterly reported.

"You don't sound happy about this" Slade commented

"I am tired of playing mother to that pathetic child and even more tired of working with that idiot Dr. Light" the French woman spat.

"Our deal was a year, two more months and you can fake your death and be on your way with your payment" Slade reminded her, finally turning to face her.

"And what do you plan to do with the girl once she believes Light and I are dead?" Madame Rouge inquired but Slade merely shrugged.

"Once i am sure that her memory will not be returning and the two of you fake your deaths i'll allow the proper procedure from the state of dealing with orphans to be put into to action. I will still be keeping an eye on her of course" Slade assured his informant, secretly however he didn't think allowing Terra to be placed into foster care would be necessary. Rouge may still have every intention of faking her death and walking away but Doctor Light appeared to be growing attached to his 'daughter' and Slade suspected that he just might stick around.

Rouge stared him down for a moment, studying him to be sure he wasn't lying. Normally she was an expert at reading the signs of lying but Slade was a challenge. His mask hid any facial indications unless they came from his eye, which never happened. His posture never wavered either, he was forever confident in his abilities and it made reading him that much harder, Slade was a master of deceit.


"I do not believe that we should be doing this" Starfire said nervously as she, Raven, Beast Boy, and Cyborg, all entered the evidence room at one-thirty in the morning.

"Star it's fine. We're all allowed to be in here and we're all allowed to examine evidence, we're not doing anything wrong" Beast Boy rationalized but even he knew that what they were doing would be seen as wrong if they were caught.

"But should we not have told Robin about this? As our leader does he not deserve to know the truth?" Starfire questioned and Raven turned to her.

"What should we have told him? That he might grow up to be one of the worst villains in the world?" The empath demanded and Starfire abruptly stopped talking.

"It's for the best Star. If it turns out we're wrong then we can all forget this like it never happened" Cyborg tried to reassure his friend but she only looked down at her feet.

"What will happen if we are right?" She asked and momentarily the others all froze.

"We take it from there" Cyborg finally answered after a long silence.

Shining the flashlight built into his shoulder around the room, Cyborg quickly located what they had come for, Slade's mask.

He must have a spare, this was the one which had previously been rigged with chemicals to make Robin hallucinate. But it contained much more than the remnants of chemical powder, it contained one of Slade's eyelashes. The eyelash was all that the titans needed, it contained enough genetic information for Cyborg to run a scan against Robin's.

"Alright y'all, moment of truth" the robotic teen stated as he ran the scan.

Everyone held their breath for what seemed like forever, waiting for Cyborg to be finished. After two short minutes, which had felt more like ten long years, the screen on Cyborg's left arm beeped and a bright red word lit up the screen.

MATCH.
