A/N: Hello, my duckies. This is Leaf on the Wind, aka Maddy. I'm writing my own author's notes from now on, as I'm writing all the even-numbered chapters in this story. Thanks, as per usual, go to Kevorkian and Cartoonstar and everyone else who's been reading. I don't fancy myself an expert at writing for Raven, so any critique you can give me would be just fine, as well as fluffy compliments and praise for my prose. Anyway, thanks ten billion, and I'll see you in chapter 16, when I get another note! Hoorah!
Much love and affection,
Maddy

Starfire, I will write this in capitals to be extra clear:
TAKE JAY WITH YOU WHEN YOU TAIL SLADE! I realize that there are two villains and two of you, but however convenient that may seem, you have a much better chance staying with Jay. If there was a one-on-one fight between you and Slade, and if he's gotten as powerful as you say, I'm willing to bet he'll make mincemeat out of you.
Now, as to our plan. Beast Boy and I have tickets on the next flight out of Paris to the States, and we'll take it from there, I suppose. We'll be dropped in New York, where I'm sure I can catch a plane to bring me fairly close to Yellowstone. I'll keep you informed of our movements.
In the meantime, anything you find out about the Tokyo branch of this plot would be helpful to know. Of course it's probably some general take-over-the-world-and-destroy-the-Titans kind of plan, but all of those are fairly unique and if I'm going up against Blackfire, I'd like to know as much about her purpose and her plan as possible. These are keys to open the doors to her limitations; her weaknesses. They could be invaluble if I'm going to get Robin and Cyborg back.
And you must be wary of Daizo. He may not seem like much of a threat to you now, but if he's working with Slade, then it's likely Slade sees something incredibly powerful in him. I couldn't tell you what, but he should not be treated lightly. I'm sure you know all this, but I'd like to remind you anyway because Tokyo is very far away and none of the Titans will be able to help should you need it. Exploit Jay. I mean that in the least offensive way possible. Do that whole... Go to the mall and share feelings deal. Keep her close. Take her with you, let her help you, and by all means don't get caught by yourself in a bad situation.
That's all the repetitive cautioning I'm up to right now. I've just got to find a postbox for this and Beast Boy and I will be off to catch our plane. I'm enclosing the address of the hotel we'll be staying at in Yellowstone, as well as the phone number. Don't hesitate to call, although I fear I wont' be able to do much for you should harm come your way. Be careful.
