A/N Hey guys! This chapter's a day later that I had planned, mostly 'cause I never got around to posting it...It's a wee bit fluffy, but I really couldn't help it. xD The story will be headed (somewhat) towards its ending, but don't worry, I've still got plenty of twists for you...As for the Harry Potter/Highschool Teen Titan front, it was Teen Titans all the way. I've already written a few chapters of the HP one, that just came to me really easily, and I'm just trying to think of a plot and general reason the Titans are in highschool. Eh. I'll just put AU and be done with it.

cherrycherrylove: Aww, thanks, I'm glad you think so. I had so much fun writing it-if I wanted to be nasty, I could have made it into two chapters because it was so long. But I also hadn't updated in awhile, so I figured I owed it to you guys. Personally, I'm not much of a Rob/Star shipper (at all in GO! but I love them in the actual comics) so that didn't bother me, so I was just kinda like, 'hey! why not?'. Jade is, well, Jade, so you never quite know if she's being sincere or not...Thanks for reviewing.

Geojas378: No! THE LLAMAS! And please, why are you questioning the cliffie? Seriously. You're only your eleventh chapter, for goodness sake! I had wanted a wee bit KF/Jinx somewhere in here, so I threw it in. Our little Tara's all grown up, trying to take care of her friends and yelling at people when they're lost...-tear-. Can't wait to hear from you this chapter.


Terra hadn't gone searching for Tori. Instead, she went to find Rose. Which was rather awkward, since she and Dexter had been quite…intimate. But at Terra's news of the missing Tori, Rose had pushed Dexter away and out of the private room like, well, Terra couldn't imagine what-just something rather bad and probably smelly.

"Why didn't you call Hecate?" Rose hissed, pulling her wig off, her white hair bouncing around her shoulders. She popped out the fake eye-she was used to not having one, so a cybernetic one only would throw her off at this point until she found something really nasty to program in it.

"Hecate?" Terra echoed, thankful for the dim light as Rose slid the silver eye-patch over the empty socket. Rose groaned, rolling her eye, pulling off her dress and somehow stepping into her costume. Terra instantly stiffened as fear and rage coursed through her. They were the same colors as her father's costume-same style, same material.

"Chill. I'm not throwing away a perfectly good suit just because it's..." Rose hesitated, and for a moment Terra wasn't sure if it was for Terra or herself. "…he's not worth the attention. Why didn't you call Hecate?"

"Hecate?" Terra echoed, still staring at the costume.

"Sam." Rose hissed, throwing her a bundle of clothes. Terra almost didn't look at them, afraid of what they were, but after feeling them in her hands she relaxed. They were her first costume-the simple shorts and shirt, complete with goggles. Terra was giddy with relief.

"I'm even smarter than I look." Rose added, motioning for Terra to change.

"Wait-why are we changing?" Terra asked, although pulling her dress off all the same.

"Just trust me on this. I'll clue in Hecate and make sure we get out safely. You take care of Tori." Terra nodded in agreement, adjusting her little communicators disguised as earrings after pulling on the other shirt. Rose gently took her arm. "Don't use your powers. You haven't yet, and-"

"I don't want to." Terra said firmly, so finite in her decision Rose just took her hand off and nodded. "Besides, why would I need to?"

So Terra was late when she entered the Mushroom room. However, not that late, since nothing seemed to be happening, or that no one seemed to be doing anything. She still took a minute to process what was going on, anyone would need to. And everything slowly began to fit together.

The Cheshire Cat was Speedy-the cat mask was off and he kept the Speedy mask underneath. She remembered Robin telling the team about him, after the whole Champion of Games or whatever. And, of course, there was the news and tabloids-the drug rumors, which apparently weren't really rumors.

Terra caught the last of the injection, her eyes widening. Her eyes darted over to Richard, then Nicole and Wally. They weren't doing anything-just staring at the pair, oblivious that Terra was even in the room, while Tori leaned back. Speedy gently took her shoulder, a serene smile still on her face, and she 

let her head fall into his lap, her eyes unblinking at the ceiling. As Speedy began to stroke her hair, Terra adjusted her earrings, her eyes flickering to the trio on the sidelines-who were still just staring in horror, except for Nicole, who looked completely lost and not sure what to do .

"Sa-Hecate." Terra whispered, not sure if the earrings worked. She didn't hear any static, and jumped when she heard a clear response.

"Terra, you did you find her? Is she with Richard?" Came Hecate's voice, Terra's eyes darting around to made sure no one else heard either of them.

"Yeah, they're both here, along with Nicole and Wally- "

"WALLY? Jesus, I'm bringing in Rose."

"He's just the Hatter-"

"Ravager in." Came Rose's voice, Terra having to remind herself that not everyone's codename sounded the exact same as their real name.

"Wally's here-" Hecate began.

"Terra, you listening?" Rose interrupted.

"Yeah."

"Get out of there, both of you. By any means necessary."

"Wh-what? But it's just her cousin-"

"Hmmm hmmm, hm hm Sont les mots qui vont très bien ensemble, Très bien ensemble." Speedy began to sing gently, clearly stoned, pulling Tori's hair from under her and letting it fall over the side of his leg. Richard had looked simply stunned before, but not was looking rather…tense, not angry, at least, compared to Wally who was clenching his fists.

"Is that Speedy?" Rose asked through the communicators, her voice grave.

"Yeah-" Terra responded, and Rose swore loudly.

"Roy's here." Rose stated, and Terra could hear Hecate's sharp intake of breath. "Get her out of there Terra."

Richard slowly walked forward. He didn't stomp up or start yelling, and that's what kept Terra stunned and stuck to her spot. He was dripping with respect, and spreading a hauntingly cold fear only intensified by the Wonderland atmosphere. Terra swallowed, feeling that familiarity again and coming so close to placing it.

"Roy." He said, his voice low. Speedy looked up, humming and playing with Tori's hair.

"Yeah?" Speedy replied, his voice slow and even Terra could tell that his eyes were unfocused under the mask.

"I'm going to help Tori up, and you are going home with Wally and Nicole."

"Oh yeah? Do you know who I am-"

"Yeah, I do. Do you know who I am? You really don't want a hint."

A blank expression crossed Speedy's face as he debated whether to answer, and slowly a realization dawned on him. He looked down to Tori, who was starting to giggle slightly as she stared without blinking at the ceiling.

"You whore." He spat, and shoving her off with impressive speed and force for being high. She moved like a rag doll, her limbs falling over each other, twisting into bad positions as she giggled. Richard caught her even more quickly, holding her tight as he crouched on the ground. Before he could get up-before Terra could even blink-Wally had punched Speedy hard in the jaw, the stomach, and probably other places Terra had to guess since her eyes couldn't keep up.

"Never call my cousin that again." Wally warned, holding Speedy up by the front of his shirt.

"Wally!" Nicole warned, rushing forward, putting her hands on his. "That's enough." Her eyes glowed pink, and the ground around Wally's feet cracked and trapped him. Wally let go of Speedy, letting him crumple to the floor, Nicole trying to talk to him and lead him away from Speedy.

"Ravager, can you hear this?" Terra whispered, the realizations of Wally being Kid Flash and Nicole as Jinx hitting her all at once.

"Yeah, so why aren't you in there?" Was the sharp response. Terra adjusted the black shirt under the blue dress, making sure it was hidden, before rushing into the conflict as if she had just arrived.

"Tori! Richard-what's going on?" Terra cried, rather impressed by her own lying skills. She crouched down beside Richard, who just looked rather stunned and utterly out of control.

"I didn't know about any of this." He muttered, Tori stirring in his arms. Speedy was slowly standing up, bruises already forming on his face.

"She's not worth it, just a chaser of rich boys in capes." Speedy said, his voice quavering although malice dripped from every word. Wally-Kid Flash-the redhead-turned around, his girlfriend digging her nails into his arm and trying to mutter reason into him.

"Haven't you already guessed that, boy wonder?"

"Boy wonder?" Terra echoed, looking at Richard. "Robin?"

Richard didn't say anything, but he didn't need to-it was better that way. Terra had enough thoughts whirling through her head. Richard was Robin? Why didn't Tori tell her? And Roy, being Speedy? Rose 

knew about it-why did Terra? Why wasn't Terra told? Could there actually be a reason, or was Rose just lying to her-manipulating her? What about Tori?

She looked down at her friend, giggling like mad. Her pupils were so wide Terra couldn't see her irises, and the veins in her eyes were even redder than usual. In fact, they were slowly begging to seep into her pupils. And that's when Terra noticed the tears welling from the corners of her eyes, running her mascara as she laughed.

Richard gently poured Tori onto Terra, who would have fallen to her knees if she hadn't already been crouching under her friend's weight.

"Where are you going?" Terra demanded, conscious of Rose's voice beginning to nag her to get out.

"Kid Flash, you and Jinx are going to end this party. Terra is going to take Tori home. I'm going to take Speedy back to Titans East headquarters." Richard demanded, ruffling his hair until it went into its infamous spikes-how had Terra missed that?

"You can't-" Jinx began, her eyes narrowed.

"You're lucky I'm not calling the police! Do you have any idea what you've done? I expected better of both of you!" He yelled.

"I'm not the one whose dating a druggie! Does Starfire know?"

"That is none of your business and-"

"SHUT UP!" Terra yelled, gently laying Tori on the ground. She stood up, angry and confused and feeling positively used and betrayed by her friends. She looked at her once forgotten allies, her hands in fists and doing all she could to quell the avalanche of rage building inside her. She felt her long suppressed power welling inside her, so easily forgotten and contained but now urging her to use it-which she wouldn't dare, not now.

"Terra." Robin said softly as she closed her eyes, bringing her hands to her head and she fell the energy swelling around her. "You're back."

She felt arms around her, and ready to yell at Robin she bit her tongue. It was Tori, that stupid grin still on her face as she rocked Terra back and forth and muttered sweet nothings in her ear. Terra knew Tori had no idea what was going on, the situation she was in, but here she still was-cradling and taking care of Terra once again. Her arms were like iron, holding her steady and close.

"Terra, are you listening?" Came Hecate's voice over the communicator. "You have to listen to me. We'll get you out of there, before you both wreck everything. Just follow my instructions…"

"Why? Why should I listen to you?" Terra muttered, feeling the hot glow seep into her eyes.

"Because Tori needs you to."

Terra looked at her friend-the first person who had been nice to her, the first friend she had when she lost her memory. The girl who defended her from all the bullies and nasties who made fun of her when she had no idea how high school worked, who taught her how everything worked again and watched over her when her (now adoptive, Terra knew) parents went away and worked late. How she slept over at her apartment time and time again, and how Maddox treated her like a daughter-god, Maddox, how would Maddox take seeing Tori like this?

Terra let out a half-yell half-sob, her power squashed as she leaned against Tori. Tori kept muttering sweet nothings, and Terra could feel the tears falling down her friend's face, and she wasn't sure if her friend was unaware of it.

"I'm calling the Titans, East and West-" Robin began.

"No." Terra ordered, gently moving away from Tori who leaned back against a mushroom.

"Terra, besides what's going on here, we need to run tests and make sure everything's-"

"You're in over your head. I'm in over my head."

"Then tell me what's going on! I can, we can help-"

"You want to help me? Take Tori home. Watch her. Make sure Maddox doesn't find out. She'll calm down in the morning. Kid Flash and Jinx can take care of Speedy."

"Terra, you don't know-"

"Yes, I do. Trust me, Robin."

He didn't say anything, and Terra could only guess what was going through his mind. He had so many reasons to trust her-along with reasons not to trust her. But were there enough good reasons to outweigh the bad ones?

"Why shouldn't I call our friends?"

"Tomorrow. One day-I'll tell you everything tomorrow night."

"WHAT?" Yelled Hecate over the earphone. "Terra, you'd better be lying-"

"Just take her home."

"Why can't you?"

"I need to talk to some friends." Terra finished the conversation, ripping off the blue dress-it just felt so stupid now-and turned off her earrings. She didn't want to hear Hecate right now.

She was going to find Rose.


Tori had fallen asleep. Robin had kept her awake as much as he could, but he doubted she even registered being awake. He checked her pulse, her breathing, everything he could without the small medical kit in his utility belt. Nothing seemed to be wrong, according them. She could follow the light-her pupils even contracted. When he managed to get her to speak, she was aware and coherent, not even slurring.

She just kept giggling and smiling at him, until gradually falling asleep. Robin kept an eye on her. It was nearly three in the morning, and Maddox wasn't home yet.

They had arrived with Tori walking up the stairs on her own, holding her boots and unlocking the door with ease. No hints of anything usual, except her laughing bursts. She opened the door, dropped the boots, and made her way to the bedroom. Robin called for Maddox, who hadn't answered. He checked the entire apartment, except for Maddox's bedroom-which was locked, and he couldn't hear anything inside.

From there, he had to stay with Tori, making sure she didn't do anything and nothing happened to her. She wanted to change, but he didn't want to leave the room anymore than he already had, so she kept her costume on and he changed into his real costume after she fell asleep. For awhile, she just laid on her bed, looking at the ceiling as he kept her awake by talking, until she complained she was tired and that she really was okay to sleep. It was the weirdest thing. She talked like normal, sounded just like normal, and she looked, well, better. Cleaned up. Polished. Even with her make-up smudged and running together, as she smiled, she was gorgeous. It wasn't right.

He should have taken the time to ask her questions. To pry-she most likely wouldn't remember. He should snoop, look around, break into Maddox's bedroom. But in all honesty, he couldn't focus on that. So many other things were going on.

He had failed. He had no idea what was going on with Speedy, his problem, when even Kid Flash and Jinx knew of it. He had let down the Titans. He was Robin, boy wonder, the leader and founder of the Titans (with Raven, technically) he should have been aware. He should have been there to help Speedy, but instead, he had no idea-if anything it was kept from him as he did what-gallivanted around with Tori? Sure, he could cover it as trying to find information, but as he watched her sleep, he knew that was a lie.

He had wanted to be normal. He had used his record and everyone's assumptions of obsession to fool himself into thinking he was only getting close to her to find Red X. In reality, as much as he did want to find Red X, he let himself ignore his duties to spend time with her. He could never be normal-he was Robin. A hero. Always would be. He kept his masked eyes on her-his old, familiar mask-and he knew this had to come to a screeching halt.

But what about what Terra said? Oh, god, now Terra was back-Terra Terra Terra. There was so much there, pain, anger, betrayal, trust, love-she was his teammate, his friend. She had betrayed them time and time again, and then it had been over. As much as he knew it was wrong, it was a relief when she was in stone-a weight off his shoulders, penance for her sins. But now she was back, and already involved with something he didn't know about. Seems like things never change.

"Crap. So it wasn't a dream."

Tori was sitting up, rubbing her eyes, and she probably had been awake for a while since Robin had noticed she was moving more than usual.

Her hair was a mess. Her make-up was worse than ever. Her eyes were red from dryness and the drugs. She wasn't smiling. Her eyes were focused on the R on his chest, and she slowly looked at his face. Neither of them said anything, and she nervously began to crack her knuckles.

"Do you want some water? Or breakfast? It's already…" She said, looking to the clock, her eyes widening. "Nine o'clock! Christ, Dad-"

"He's not home."

"Like hell he isn't." She groaned, slowly getting up and wrapping the fluffy comforter around her. He watched her carefully as she hopped off the bed, and then opened the comforter and looked down at herself. She rolled her eyes and wrapped the comforter around her tighter.

"So…did you want water?"

"We need to talk."

"After breakfast?"

He didn't say anything, narrowing his eyes, and she looked down. Without a word she sat back down on the bed, facing him. He sat on a chair, the back of the chair facing her as he rested his chin on it.

"Where do you want to start?" She asked after awhile, and when he didn't say anything once again, her voice quavered as she continued. "The drugs, the drinking, the-"

"What was the drug?" He already had more than idea.

"You wouldn't-" she stopped herself, looking back at his costume, and she pulled her knees to her chest. "Xenothium."

"Where are you getting it from?"

"Richard-"

"Robin."

"I can't-"

"Do you understand what trouble you're in? Do you really want me to start?"

"No! I-I-" She leaned forward, running her hands through her hair, and Robin could see blood well up from where her nails scratched her scalp.

"Does Maddox know?"

"No! Of course he doesn't know-"

"How come?"

"What kind of question is that?"

"I'm asking the questions, Tori."

"Why should I let you!" She snapped, standing up. "You lied to me so many times already! Alright, so your name wasn't really Jason, big deal. You're a Wayne, okay! I could deal with it! But Robin! JESUS CHRIST, WHAT THE HELL AM I-"

"What about you? You lied, god, did you lie-"

"So that makes two of us! Give me one reason I should trust you at all! I don't even care if you're Bat-freakin-man anymore, in fact, I don't even think that would surprise me!"

"Terra. Tell me about Terra, and what she has to do with it, and why you didn't report it to the Titans when her powers came back!"

"Now you're bring her into this! Get out." She ordered, standing up, pointing at the door. Tears were falling down her face, and Robin could see bags of exhaustion under her eyes. She sniffled, her eyes narrowed as Robin stood up.

"No, I'm not leaving, we're not done here-"

"Yes, we are. Get out get out get out get out GET OUT!" She screeched, attempting to shove him towards the door. He grabbed her hands and shoulders, holding her still as she screeched, shaking her head and trying to break away from his grip. He was stronger as she twisted and turned, trying to kick at him. So he let go, and she stumbled back, almost falling on the bed and quieting. She watched him opened the door and leave the room.

He walked down the hallway, not looking back, only looking at Maddox's room. And that was only because the door. Opened. He froze, not looking to Tori's room, hearing her door click behind him. He took a deep breath, waiting for Maddox to come out and anticipating the reaction of having the leader of the Teen Titans in his hallway.

But he didn't have to. Because it wasn't Maddox, leaving Maddox's room. And he really wished it was. His eyes went wide and his mouth dropped open, and he turned paler than Jinx. It all happened, because Raven had opened the door.
