When they arrived at the tower, Robin was nonetheless surprised to see a younger version of Raven holding Raven's hand.

"..Care to explain?" Robin crossed his arms, breaking the awkward silence.

Raven avoided eye contact. "Robin...this is my younger sister..Bella." She looked down at the wide-eyed little girl. "..And that's Robin. Leader of the Teen Titans."

"Whoa!" Bella breathed. "You have lotsa colors on your costume!"

"Traffic light," Beast Boy snickered, which earned him a look that could kill from Robin.

Robin stooped down to Bella's height. "It's nice to meet you, Bella," he said with a small smile. "..You look a lot like your sister."

"Lotta people say that," Bella said quietly, looking bashful.

Robin stood and arched an eyebrow in Raven's direction. "..Any more secrets?"

Raven glared at him. "I didn't think you needed to know every personal detail of my life," she retorted dryly. "..Besides, I thought she was..." Raven's voice trailed off.

Robin frowned but didn't push it. His voice lowered. "How did she get here?"

"That's what we're trying to figure out," Raven responded quietly, a thoughtful frown on her face. Bella had gone over to sit on the sofa and was sucking her thumb, looking around at the tower in wide-eyed amazement. Starfire joined her and soon the two were smiling and giggling about something that was unknown to Raven.

Cyborg stepped up. "..On the way here, Bella said that she had just been thinking about Raven and wishing she was with her...then she just..arrived." He shrugged. "We found her in the park."

"..Strange," Robin said thoughtfully. "..Did she come from Azarath?" He directed this question at Raven.

Raven shrugged. "As far as I know. She's been..withdrawn." She stole another brief glance at her sister, not caring to admit to Robin that Azarath was in fact destroyed..all lives in her homeland had been lost, including her own mother. So how did Bella manage to escape..even survive?

Robin sighed. "I need to ask you some things later. But right now, we need to stop Dr. Light."

"You'd think he'd give up by now," Beast Boy muttered. Raven couldn't help but nod in agreement.

Robin continued, disregarding BB's statement. "I transferred his location into your communicators."

"Wait, who's gonna stay with Bellz?" Cyborg interjected with a frown. "Or is she comin' with us?"

"It's too dangerous," Robin immediately replied, then glanced at Raven. "We can handle this. You stay here with Bella...show her around a little bit."

Raven opened her mouth to protest, but shut it and nodded. Robin called Starfire then led the way out of the tower with a "Titans, GO!"

Raven sighed and turned to look at Bella, who was watching them leave through the large window at the front of the room. "..I guess if you're staying with us for now..you need to know where everything is." She turned. "C'mon."

Bella turned and obediently followed her older sister into the hallway. The automatic doors opened with a swish as Raven walked through. Bella stared at them curiously and in amazement as she slowly followed. They approached Beast Boy's room, and Raven lingered away from the doorway. "..That's Beast Boy's room. Take it from me- you don't want to go in there."

Bella's eyes widened. "..Is it scary or somethin'?"

"No," Raven was quick to answer. She started off down the hallway again. "Just take my word for it." Bella hesitated and looked at BB's door curiously and in confusion before running after her.

"Ooh! I LOVE this room!" Bella exclaimed as they walked inside Starfire's room.

"..Figures. This is Starfire's room." Raven glanced around at the purple walls.

About an hour later, Raven had led Bella to the training room, the garage, bathroom, rooftop, training field, and everywhere else in the tower. But Bella was quick to pick up one place that Raven preferred not to share with anyone.

"Where's YOUR room, Raven?" Bella asked innocently.

Raven cringed then sighed. "...Right over here." She led the way toward the door that read Raven. "..You probably..wouldn't like my room. It's kind of dark." She turned to look at her sister.

Bella shrugged. "Just turn a light on!" she suggested brightly and Raven sighed again, shaking her head. The door swished open and they stepped inside.

Bella gasped, looking around. "Whoooa! This is the coolest room ever! It's kinda scary, but not that much. It kinda looks like stuff back home..." She suddenly choked off. Raven sideglanced at her in vague concern.

Suddenly Bella ran over to her closet, her sadness forgotten for the moment. She pulled out one of Raven's cloaks and gasped. "Whoa! This thing is super cool!" She slipped it on, the shadows of the hood covering nearly all of her face. "I feel like a mystery person."

Raven exhaled impatiently. "Put that back, Bella," she ordered sternly.

Bella, not hearing her sister, ran over to Raven's dressing table and looked in the mirror, nearly tripping over the hem of the cloak that dragged on the floor. She burst into giggles then imitated a stoic voice. "Don't mess with me or I'm gonna blow your brains out."

Raven sighed. "..Are you planning on giving me my cloak back..sometime soon?" she demanded dryly.

Bella, still giggling, took off the cloak, her hair static-y and sticking up in all directions. Raven allowed a small smirk as she hung the cloak back in her closet. When she turned back around, Bella had disappeared. "..Super." Raven sighed in exasperation as she heard loud crashes coming from the hallway. "Good idea, Robin. Leave Raven in charge of the kid."

Meanwhile, Bella had put on one of Robin's mask and his belt as well, trying out the weapons. She pulled out Robin's grapple hook. "What's this thing d--" Before she could finish, the grappling hook shot up into the ceiling and Bella crashed upwards. "..Ow."

"Bella! Where are you?" Raven demanded from below.

"Up here!" Bella called back, giggling. "That was fun! I wanna do it again!"

Raven looked up and groaned, rubbing her hand along the side of her face. She flew up and took Bella and floated back to the ground. "Bella, you need to be more careful. These are not toys."

Bella giggled. "But Ravennn! Bein' Robin is so much fun! You needta try it!" She took the mask off her face and placed it crookedly on Raven's. "There! Now you're all super cool-lookin' like Robin!"

Raven struggled to keep her wits about her as she peeled the mask off. "Bella," she said in an even voice. "Quit fooling around. You're going to hurt yourself."

Just then the mainscreen beeped. Raven put Bella on the ground and walked over, opening the video message. "Raven here."

Robin appeared again. "Hey Raven, listen. Dr. Light is taken care of, but we got a lock on these new villains that have been the source of recent crime waves in Jump City. We won't be back until late."

"Wonderful," Raven droned, watching Bella out of the corner of her eye.

"..How's everything going with Bella?"

Raven sighed. "She's gotten into mischief..but so far it's okay. I'll see you guys tonight."

"Alright. Robin out." The screen faded to black.

Raven looked at Bella, who was rummaging through the cabinets into the kitchen and pouring water, mustard, salt, pepper, and a tea bag into a pan on the stove. She restrained against a groan.

This was going to be a long night.
