When we last saw Henry, he was unconscious. In the meantime, the Titans were sorting out sleeping arrangements…

"If that's all, I've got to go. Sleep-over with Starfire tonight, and I can't keep her waiting." Cyborg grinned and raised his eyebrow, and Robin responded with his face becoming very flat. Cyborg chuckled.

"I kid ya. Have fun tonight, but not too much, okay?" Robin snorted as he left, understanding his friend's humor. Frankly, Robin thought that he'd be making more of it himself if he wasn't team leader—he had to remain mature, as hard as that was at times. He stepped into the elevator, and as the doors closed, another began to play.

Man, we should probably change the music in here, thought Robin as rode the machine upwards.


As it turned out, Terra was not susceptible to the horrible stench that was Beast Boy's room. (AN: Perhaps the lack of a nose had something to do with it?) The girl stepped into the green room, and was surprised at how clean it was, considering it was Beast Boy's room. Sure, there were piles of clothes everywhere. Sure, the fact that there was food piled in one corner was a little off-putting. And fine, maybe the garbage all over the floor was a bit much. But Terra didn't care—she was back in the Tower, with her best friend in the world. It felt awkward to be back in the Tower, considering what had transpired since the last time she was in it. Nearly destroying Jump City, helping Slade, and fighting the Titans… but that didn't matter right now. She was with Beast Boy, and she knew in that moment that if Robin and the other Titans let her stay, she would never leave. It had taken a long time, but Terra had finally realized that this was the best she would ever have it.

"So, uh, sorry about the mess," Beast Boy apologized, pushing a pile of dirty uniforms to the side of the room, breaking Terra's train of thought.

"Oh, I don't care," replied the blonde, waving her hand. "It's kind of you to offer me your room while this, ah… situation… gets worked out.

"No biggie, Terra! Besides, it's been ages since anyone came in here voluntarily. Apparently, it 'smells really bad' or something. I don't notice it," said the changeling. He looked around, and walked into his closet. He grabbed a pair of pajamas with green ducks on them, and held them out to Terra. "Uh, I don't know if they'll fit, but if you want them, you can have 'em," offered Beast Boy. Terra looked at them for a moment, and then took them.

"Where should I change?" asked the geomancer. Beast Boy blushed slightly—he hadn't thought of that.

"Ah… Bathroom, down the hall. You remember where it is, right?"

"Yeah, I do. Be right back!" called the blonde as she walked out of the room. The doors closed, and Beast Boy collapsed. He lay on the floor. Okay, Beast Boy, collect yourself, he thought. You have a girl sleeping in your room. It's Terra. She's back. She's alive. And she's a good guy again. He smiled at the last thought—it meant that he could finally…. No. What about Raven? He had just finally begun to accept his feelings for her when suddenly Terra was back. Had he ever liked Raven, truly? Of course, she was a great friend and awesome teammate, despite her being "moody" at times. For the green Titan, it was easy to overlook the empath's past. Sure, she was half-demon, and had almost caused the world's end. But Beast Boy had always been able to look past what somebody was, and see who they really were. Take Cyborg, for example. He had been a normal jock, until his accident. Now he was a mostly metal-and-electronics being with not a whole lot of human body left. That didn't change who he was. The cyborg was a technological genius, a funny guy, and more importantly, a good friend. Beast Boy trusted Cyborg with his life. Did he trust Raven with his life? Yes. In fact, he trusted all of the Titans, save for Henry. He had simply not known him long enough to make a judgment on that. As he sat there thinking, Terra was changing in the bathroom, doing some thinking of her own.

What if they don't like me anymore? she wondered as she looked into the mirror. What if I CAN'T stay. Where will I go? Terra looked into her own eyes. Images went through her head, back from when she had worked for Slade. Wearing the suit. Fighting the Titans. The feeling of weakness when Slade had controlled her. But then, there was the moment when she realized when she DID have a choice, that she COULD fight Slade. And the worst of all, having to make Beast Boy float away. It wasn't fair to her. The two had never been able to grow into something. They had had one date, and that had been ruined by Slade. Perhaps this time around… Terra blushed at the thought. Of course she still felt for Beast Boy. She had never stopped. Fighting him was the hardest thing she had ever done in her life, and it tore at her emotionally. But to see him now, so willing to forgive her when the others still were leery… that gave her hope. As she stepped out of the bathroom and walked down the hall, she made her mind up right then and there that someday, someday soon, she and Beast Boy would go on a date again. A proper date, with just the two of them.

Not once did she ever think that perhaps maybe, just maybe, another person had begun to feel love's pull, and it had begun to pull them in the direction of a shape-shifting jokester. No, never in Terra's mind did it ever occur to her that perhaps Beast Boy had moved on, either. Of course, time had gone on without her in the stone chamber. But Terra would be forgiven, as fate would have it, for despite the changeling's potential other romantic interests, his heart would yearn for—and only for—her.

Elsewhere in the Tower, Robin had checked in with Starfire. She had needed "another quarter of the hour" to prepare. That was just enough time to grab a blanket for himself. It was a quick trip down to his room, and it would be just as quick a trip back. As he passed Raven's room, however, he stopped. The door was open, and Raven sat cross-legged in the air. He stepped a foot in, and knocked on the wall.

"Come in, Robin," Raven said. The leader walked into the room as Raven stopped her mediation and stood to face Robin.

"Am I interrupting anything?" asked Robin. Raven shook her head, and Robin continued speaking. "Listen, you did great out there tonight. What you did with Henry, that was some quick-thinking, and I'm glad you did it. Judging from what Cyborg and I ran tests on, he was perfectly fine. Did you sense anything odd about him?"

"Robin, I felt him dying. His life-force was fading. It felt like something else was in his mind, something with far greater power than even Trigon. I don't know what it was, Robin, but it scared me, and you know I don't scare." Robin stayed silent for a moment. Dying? Something more powerful than Trigon?

"We'll look into this in more detail later. For now, get some sleep, Raven. You need it," replied Robin. "I don't like the sounds of it, but for now… We all need to rest. Good night, Raven," he said, and turned to leave. In the short time it took to get from Raven's room to Starfire's, the entire vibe changed dramatically. From the darkness and gloom, Robin walked into a bright, cheery light. In the middle of the room, where the bed would be, was a tent. Several blankets made up the outer layer, and a light glowed from within. He couldn't tell what made up the bars, but it didn't really matter. The tent was very well-made, and he would have to congratulate Starfire on that when he—

"AHH!" he screamed in surprise, feeling something suddenly rub against his leg. He jumped up into the air, looking down to only see Silkie wearing a smile, if a moth larva could smile. Starfire floated over, and smiled.

"Robin! It is wonderful to see you. Hopefully, my little bumgorf did not startle you too much," she said as she bent down and picked up the silkworm. Silkie wriggled about, and Starfire tickled its belly. "Silkie? Are you my little bumgorf? Are you?" Silkie wriggled even more, and 'laughed' as her owner's finger tickled its underbelly. "Yes you are! You are my little bumgorf!" Suddenly, a shot of silk came from Silkie's behind, and splattered Robin in his face. Starfire stopped, and looked horrified at Robin, whose entire face was covered with silk. His hand came up, and slowly pulled it all off. His skin was red from where the silk had attached and then been removed. Somehow, miraculously, his mask had stayed on, and Robin moved his head slowly between Silkie, Starfire, and the silk in his hand.

"Um, Robin are you okay?" asked the alien cautiously. Then Robin laughed.

"Okay? Of course I'm okay! C'mon, what are we doing next?" he asked, still laughing. He dropped the silk to the ground, and Starfire placed Silkie down.

"Well, we can watch a movie, or we can do the truth or dare, or…" Starfire began happily, but Robin zoned out. This was going to be a long night…


The being crept through the alley, careful not to make a sound. The Drode knew that if he was caught out and about, Crayak would not be pleased. His Master, and his only true Master, had made it perfectly clear that failure on his part would end in immediate extermination, and the Drode didn't want that—it was too much fun serving Crayak. And this mission, this very special mission, had crossed the boundaries of the universe itself. It had almost destroyed his Master, and the Drode himself, but the alternate universe was fascinating. Sure, there were times when travelling throughout the galaxy were less 'fun' and more 'life-threatening,' but the Drode could handle it. The last of his kind, he took his self-preservation seriously. So what if he had betrayed the billions of innocents and allowed the Howlers to ravage his planet, in exchange for his own life? He never felt bad about it—his kind were incapable of remorse. But to allow his people to permanently die out—that was unthinkable. The Drode still had a shred of dignity.

Stepping into hidden door, the Drode quickly made his way down the stairs. Upon entering the "living room" as Gemlon called it, the Drode passed several of the green, oozing servants. The mere sight of the monstrosities made his tail quiver with disgust. The Drode, of course, was no looker either, but nobody was going to call him out on being hypocritical. He stood nearly the height of man, with a body like that of a velociraptor. His tail extended two feet pat his skinny, reptilian legs, and ended in a stump. Clawed hands hung at the end of long, multi-jointed arms, and his dark skin hid him well in the shadows. However, his face is what gave what people who saw the Drode—and lived to tell about it—nightmares. Eerily human, only the narrow jaw, wrinkly skin, and sharp teeth gave the impression that the head was not sewn onto the body and painted green. The dark, scaly skin covered every inch of the hairless face, and only the brighter green eyes and lips stood out against the near-black body. The Drode walked until he came to another doorway. He walked through, and announced his arrived.

"I am back, Master Gemlon," hissed the Drode. The seated figure in front of him did not move from his chair in front of several screens.

"Have you completed your assignment?" asked Gemlon, his tone neutral.

"Yes, Master. Let us hope that this idea of yours will not fail us like those babbling fools last time…"


Cyborg "woke up" from his charging. He unplugged himself, and sauntered down to the elevator, yawning as he did so. He may have been a cyborg, but his human side was tired. Some eighties song played, but Cyborg didn't pay attention. He was already lost in thought. Cyborg, like the other Titans, was excited to see Terra back. Like Robin, however, he was concerned. The last time that Terra had come back, she was working for Slade. Cyborg knew that Robin was considering this being the case again, but Slade was gone, wasn't he? He brushed thoughts of the masked villain away, not wanting it on his mind at the moment. Cyborg was not ready to obsess over him like Robin had. As the elevator doors opened, he was surprised to see a bustling Tower. Robin and Starfire sat at the kitchenette's counter, talking and smiling over breakfast. Raven sat on the couch, reading a large, worn book. Terra and Beast Boy were also on the couch, playing Twisted Wheels 2. Starfire turned away from her conversation, and greeted Cyborg.

"Good morning, friend Cyborg! It appears that you have the sleepy head, no?"

"Morning, Star," Cyborg returned, and walked up to Robin. "Why is everyone up so early today?"

"Cyborg, it's ten o'clock. You're up late," explained Robin. "But it was a late night, so I figured that you still needed time to fully charge. Besides, it's Saturday." Cyborg looked down at his friend and teammate.

"Thanks man, I appreciate it. How's Henry?"

"Still unconscious, but his vitals are fine. I had Raven probe his mind. Nothing wrong with him there. We checked on him about eight."

"I think I'll go check him again, just in case he's decided to wake up since then," said Cyborg, and he wandered over to the sick bay. It was smart of him to put it on the same level as the ops room, he thought to himself. He walked in and checked the various equipment. Everything was fine, just like Robin had said—so why was Henry still unconscious? Luckily for Cyborg, that was about to be nullified, because just as he was about to leave, he heard a voice come from behind him.

"Hey, Cyborg," Henry called weakly. Cyborg turned around to see Henry sitting up.

"Hey, you're awake!" Cyborg said, surprised, as he walked back over to Henry. "How ya feeling?"

"Okay, I guess. I feel sore all over. What happened? Did we beat Gizmo and Control Freak?" asked Henry, adjusting in his bed to sit upright more.

"We sure did. You let off some sorta wave of energy just before you went unconcious, and it gave us all strength. Don't know how you did it, but I tell you what, it saved my metal butt. I was almost out of power, and then I was suddenly fully-charged again. The others said that they felt renewed as well."

"Awesome," replied Henry, thinking about how he had felt energy release from within him just before he stopped seeing the red eye-thing. Guess that must have been what that was, he thought to himself. "How'd I get here?"

"Raven took you, and she was moving fast. Never seen her move like that before in my life. You must have had something bad going on if she was rushing like she did. Lucky for you, she did. When we got you set up here, your vitals were all over the place, but after a few seconds, they went back to normal."

"Oh. Well, I guess I owe her a big thanks, don't I?"

"I guess you do. C'mon, let's get you outta here on onto your feet," suggest Cyborg, and he started to unhook Henry from the medical apparatuses that he was connected to. That process took a minute, and Henry slowly shifted himself to put his feet onto the floor. He recoiled at the cold, but Cyborg helped him up, although his knees wobbled slightly, Henry had little trouble walking. The two walked into the main room, and Beast Boy—his game with Terra on pause for breakfast—was the first to see Henry. He jumped out of his chair and came over to him.

"Henry, dude, you're okay!"

"Yeah, I am. How are you, Beast Boy?"

"Pretty good. You want some breakfast? I got some tofu eggs, ready to eat," offered the green teen. Cyborg's face twisted into one of disgust.

"No way, grass stain. He just got up, and you wanna make him sick? Henry, I'll cook you some real food." Henry laughed.

"Thanks, Cyborg. Sorry, BB, but tofu isn't for me," he replied. Beast Boy lowered his head, and walked back to his seat next to Terra. Robin walked up and put a hand on his shoulder.

"Hey, Henry, glad to see you're up and better. You had us worried for a while there, but luckily Raven was quick-thinking, and brought you here as fast as she could," Robin said.

"Yeah, Cyborg told me. My side still hurts, but I guess that's that. Now, let's—" Henry began to reply, but was cut off by alarms going off. The screen in front of the couch changed into a map of the city, and a flashing red marker appeared. Instinctively, all of the Titans ran over to the screen.

"The Bank of Pérez, again," moaned Cyborg. Seriously, when where they going to invest in a better security system?

"Titans, go!" Robin instructed, and the window nearest to them retracted.

"Alright!" called Terra, jumping into the air and pumping her fist, but Robin approached her.

"Sorry, Terra, but you're staying here, with Henry. Until you and I have our little 'chat,' I cannot allow you to partake in crime-fighting." Terra's face dropped, and Robin continued. "It's nothing personal, but it is a protocol I must follow." With that, he turned and allowed Starfire to fly away with him. Beast Boy came over and put his hand on her shoulder.

"It's okay, Terra. You'll be with us the next time, and we'll kick butt just like we used to!" he said happily, earning him a smile from the girl.

"Thanks, Beast Boy. Now go on, and kick bad guy butt for me!" she exclaimed as he transformed and flew off with Cyborg. Raven flew out shortly, and the window returned to its usual state. Terra stood by it, watching as her… friends… flew off. She let out a sigh, and walked over to plop herself on the couch. Henry, meanwhile, had gone over to the kitchen, where sausage was almost burning. He finished cooking it, and walked out into the "living room" part of the ops room. He handed Terra a plate with several sausages and a fork on it, and sat next to her.

"Thanks for coming back, Terra," he said after swallowing a bite of sausage. "I know it's not easy, coming back, but I bet you'll be glad you did." Terra took a moment to respond.

"Thanks for getting me to come back. I missed this, all of this—" she replied, motioning with her fork to the room around her, "despite the bad things I did. But I still feel… unwelcome," she continued. Henry nodded.

"Well, it's been not even a day since you've come back. They're still trying to get used to having you back, Terra. It was tough for them, losing you, Beast Boy especially. But they've forgiven you, Terra. The entire city has." The two continued eating in silence for a short while, until Terra spoke up.

"How do you know so much? Who are you?" Henry put his plate down to his side.

"It's a long story, but since we've got nothing but time…" Henry began, and he started telling his story.

Meanwhile, the Titans had arrived at the bank, with no clear signs of an enemy. The five original Titans stood outside of the bank, and were confused.

"That's weird," commented Cyborg, checking his arm interface. "The system doesn't mess up. There must be something going on." No sooner had the words left his lips than something fast streaked by his face. He looked and saw an arrow sticking out of the wall next to him, with a piece of paper attached to it. He pulled off the paper, unrolled it, and read the message.

My first is foremost legally

My second circles outwardly

My third leads all in victory

My last twice ends a nominee

My whole is this gate's only key.

What am I?

The Titans surrounded Cyborg, trying to figure out what the message it meant.

"Read it again, Cyborg," Raven said, and he did. She stood there, listening to the riddle. It was a word, she knew that—the style of riddle made it clear. After a few moments, however, Robin interrupted everyone's train of thoughts.

"We can't just stand around trying to figure this out. We need to find out who did this," instructed Robin. Before he could move, however, another arrow appeared, a mere inch away from Beast Boy's face. He cried out and jumped into Raven's arms, before dropping to the ground when she dropped him. Robin pulled off another message. This one was different. What causes a sudden increase in heart rate, a loss of memory, and affects overall brain function, but is not a drug? Gears began to spin in Raven's mind. She grabbed the first paper from Cyborg, and took the second from Robin. She held them side-by-side, looking at each question. My first is foremost legally, she mused. Then she looked at the word legally. The first letter was an 'L.' Then she noticed the 'O' in outwardly, and the 'V' in victory. The last line began with My last twice ends, and she didn't need to look at the word nominee. Looking back at the second riddle, she confirmed her answer.

"Love," she spoke, and Starfire looked confused. "Love is the answer."

"How?" asked Cyborg, before realizing it. "Oh…"

"I do not understand," Starfire said.

"Look, it says, 'my first is foremost legally.' The first letter in 'legally' is L," Raven explained, but before she could begin to explain the next part, a voice interrupted her.

"Ah, well done, Raven!" it called from out of view. The Titans each took a battle pose, ready for whatever faced them. "In fact, you did so well, I'll show myself to you!" it continued. In front of them, a small child appeared in the air, white wings flapping to support him. He had only a diaper on, and curly blonde hair covered his head. What worried the Titans most, however, was the fact that he held a small bow, and wore a similarly-sized quiver on his back. Arrows filled the quiver, and he the bow was held taut in his hand. Before the Titans could react, he let the arrow fly, and it struck Raven in the shoulder. She spun and fell to the ground, and Beast Boy demorphed to help her. He pulled the arrow out, and was surprised to see how easily it came out. He looked at the wound, and was surprised to see that it had barely nicked her at all. He examined the arrow—the tip was the shape of a heart, and it was a light pink in color. He tossed it aside, and carefully shook Raven.

"Raven, are you okay?" he asked, concerned. The other Titans kept their eyes on the floating little boy. Ravens' eyes opened, and a dreamy look appeared on her face.

"Oh, Beast Boy," she said in happy tone, unlike anything the Titans had ever heard from her. "I'm so happy to see you." Cyborg, Robin, and Starfire turned to see why Raven sounded weird.

"Raven, are you okay?" Beast Boy repeated, worried about why Raven was acting weird. She sat up and looked him in the eyes.

"I've never felt better," she replied, and what the Titans saw next shocked them. Raven's hands went behind Beast Boy's head, and pulled him in. His eyes opened wide as he felt Raven's lips press up against his own, her hands holding him in place. His body went numb, and yet he felt electricity flow through him. The other Titans stared in horror, disgust, and surprise as they watched their teammates lock lips. Cyborg, thinking quickly, used his robotic eye to snap a picture of the two. After staying in that position for much longer than was necessary to make everyone feel awkward, Beast Boy flailed and pulled himself out of Raven's grip… and immediately fell to the ground, fainted. Raven stood up and smiled mischievously as she looked at her handiwork. She then faced her teammates, and saw the identical expressions of confusion on their faces.

"What?" she asked. "Can't a girl kiss her now-boyfriend?" Cyborg stammered.

"Uh… Raven, don't you think he's annoying?" he questioned.

"Nope," replied Raven.

"What about his jokes, are they funny?" Robin asked, recovering from his shock. Raven shrugged her shoulders.

"'Course I do. He's hilarious."

"How about his looks? Do you find him to be cute?" asked Starfire, dropping to the ground.

"Yes!" Raven exclaimed, and a nearby lamppost broke with a dark energy. "He's adorable! With his little fang, and his ears, and I just LOVE his green skin…" the empath said, beginning to list the many qualities she apparently found attractive in the green Titan. Starfire, Robin, and Cyborg looked at each other, and nodded heads. Cyborg broke away and put his hand on Raven's shoulder. "…and the way his hair looks when he wakes up, and—"

"Hey, Rae?" asked Cyborg, interrupting what could be a very long list. "Sorry to say this, but—" he said, and instead of finishing his sentence, he opened a fingertip to let a needle poke out. He quickly pricked her skin, and injected her with a tranquilizer in a manner of half a second. Raven looked at Cyborg in horror, and began to speak her mantra.

"Azarath… metreee….. oooooon…" was all Raven could say before she dropped to her knees, and then fell forward onto the ground. Robin turned towards the laughing baby.

"Oh, man!" he wheeze. "That's great! Oh, priceless. I love that arrow. It's my favorite!" He looked up to see Cyborg's laser cannon charging, Starfires' eyes and hands glowing, and Robin holding bird-a-rangs in his hands.

"Who are you!?" demanded Robin, but the winged baby snapped his fingers and disappeared with a laugh. Cyborg and Starfire fired at where he had been, but they heard the baby's laugh from beside them.

"Can't hit me!" he called, reappearing with his bow drawn. He shot his arrow, and this time, Cyborg was hit. Luckily, it bounced off of his metallic body and harmlessly landed on the ground next to Beast Boy, who sat up and rubbed his head. The winged baby disappeared again, and reappeared behind the Titans. "Looking for me?" he taunted, and as the Titans turned around, he sunk an arrow into Robin's side, and the Boy Wonder fell. Starfire immediately came to his aide.

"Robin!" she cried out, only to be hit with an arrow herself moments later. Cyborg blasted the child, only to have him disappear again. This time, he didn't disappear, and Cyborg ran over to where Starfire and Robin lay, arrows sticking out of them. He quickly pulled them out—thankfully, the arrows had also not gone into the flesh, just barely sticking in to them—and put the two on their backs. He shook them gently. Starfire was the first to come to, and she looked up at Cyborg.

"Thank goodness you're alright. Little Cupid shot you two, and I was starting to worry, and—" Cyborg said, but was silence by Starfire sitting up and putting a finger on his mouth.

"Your concern is touching, friend Cyborg," thanked Starfire. "I, too must admit something that I have kept inside of me for a long time." As she said this, Cyborg stood up, as did Starfire. "We have worked together for many years, side-by-side, but always as teammates, as only friends." As she said this, she slowly walked towards Cyborg, who began to back away just as slowly. "To be truthful, I have felt many things over the time we have served as 'Teen Titans:' anger, despair, joy, and pain. One thing, however," she said as Cyborg backed up against the wall, his eye widening in realization as to what was happening, "has remained constant. Affection, as you say it here. I feel for you, Cyborg," she said plainly, and placed one hand on the wall next to him. She pressed her body against his, and floated upwards to put her face on the same level as his. She leaned in closer, and whispered as she said, "I do hope you know what I mean when I say I want you, Cyborg." As she placed her other hand behind his head, she leaned in ever closer and closed her eyes. Cyborg panicked—he didn't know what to do! He sweat as the Tamaranian princess began to make the final move, and he suddenly dropped down to the ground. He rolled to the side, and stood up, watching as Starfire turned to face him, eyes glowing.

"Now, Star," he said nervously, gently kicking Robin. "I love you and all, but you're a sister to me. I could never, ever think of you in the way you're thinking of me." He knew, however, that something was wrong. Horribly, horribly wrong. He guessed that the stupid Cupid-baby-guy had something to do with it.

"You deny my advances?" questioned Starfire, floating even higher. "I am Koriand'r, Princess of Tamaran, and you say no to me?" she questioned again, her voice rising. Cyborg nervously bent down and shook Robin violently. Robin suddenly sat up, and then jumped up.

"Where is she?" he demanded, looking around.

"Where is who?" asked Cyborg, "and also, can you tell Starfire not to kill me?" he added quickly. Robin simply waved it off.

"Starfire, don't kill Cyborg. He needs to help me," he said neutrally, as if his mind was in another place. Starfire floated back to the ground, eyes still glowing.

"Who do we have to find?" asked Beast Boy, standing up, trying to understand what was happening. He held the arrow in one hand, waving the pointed end about.

"Careful, BB, don't touch the end of that thing, whatever you do," warned Cyborg. Beast Boy looked at the arrow's tip, and rub it against his thumb.

"See, it's pointy at all! Doesn't hurt a—ow!" yelped Beast Boy, and he began to shake slightly. Oh no, thought Cyborg, but Beast Boy stood back up properly. "See, it's not painful at all! Just a little pinch, and—whoa…" Beast Boy stopped in mid-sentence. He dropped the arrow to the ground, and swaggered over to Starfire. "You know, Star," he said as he slicked back his hair with his hand, "I don't think I've ever told you, but you are one fine momma." Cyborg facepalmed as he realized what Beast Boy was doing. He appeared to be the only one sane at the moment, and he pulled out his communicator.

"Cyborg to Henry, please respond." After a moment of silence, Henry picked up.

"Cyborg, man, how ya doing?" asked Henry cheerfully.

"Terrible, man. I need you and Terra to come to the Bank of Pérez ASAP. This new villain has caused our friends to be infatuated with one another. Worse of all is, none of them like the person who likes them."

"Oh my goodness. Sounds like they all have a case of the love bug," Henry replied.

"More like they've been hit been Cupid's arrow—literally," Cyborg said into the communicator. "Just, get into the garage and get in the T-Car. She'll automatically come to me, so you and Terra don't need to worry about driving it."

"On our way," Henry responded.

"And one more thing," Cyborg added. "Make sure that you don't put a scratch on my baby." Henry chuckled, and then the line went dead. Cyborg turned around to see Raven sitting back up, trying to get Beast Boy's attention as he continued to hit on Starfire. The alien continued to stare at Cyborg, a seductive look in her eyes. Robin walked over to him.

"Is she coming?" asked the Boy Wonder.

"Robin, I can't tell you if she's coming if I don't know who she is!" exclaimed Cyborg.

"The love of my life, the one who makes my heart beat. She is the one for whom I would die, and not even Slade could keep me from making sure she was safe," Robin replied, casually mentioning his mortal enemy.

"WHO!?" repeated Cyborg,

"The most wonderful girl on the planet. The one whose powers make me feel weak whenever I see her use them. The one who—"

"GET. ON. WITH. IT," Cyborg said, grating his teeth. "If you mean Starfire, she's right over there," continued Cyborg, motioning towards her. Robin shook his head.

"Starfire? No, of course not. I mean the one who was kept away from us for a long time, trapped in stone. Terra."


And that, my friends, is chapter fourteen. Is it a coincidence that the Cupid-like character appears in Chapter 14, considering that Valentine's Day is February 14th? Absolutely. Is it hilarious that I didn't even realize that until I typed out the word "fourteen" at the beginning of this AN? Absolutely. Are you going to have to wait until next chapter to find out what happens to the Titans, given their love-oriented state? ABSOLUETLY. Oh, man, the last half of this chapter was fun to write. In other news, I have decided to put story updates on my profile, so if you want to know what the current status of any of my stories are, check there. That's all for now. Remember, I love to get feedback from you guys. Reviews have been 0 for the last few chapters, and that's kind of disappointing, but eh, I know I love this story. I'll just say that although I do appreciate them, you don't have to review. If you have any questions, comments, or ideas, feel free to leave them in a review OR go ahead and PM me for a 1-on-1 basis. Okay, goodbye until next time. Have a fan-freaking-tastic day!
