Chapter 4: The Recognition
Slade spoke into his wrist communicator that was connected to Peregrine. "I want to speak with you right away," he said.
"You called?" came Peregrine's voice from behind him. She stepped out of the shadows of Slade's lair, a self-satisfied smirk on her face. Slade was only slightly surprised to see that her falcon was perched on her shoulder.
"So I see you brought back the bird," he commented.
"Yes," replied Peregrine, stroking Soars calmly, "He was a spy, but I have no need for this anymore now that you're feeding me all the information I need on the Titans. What did you want?"
"I want you to make yourself known to the Teen Titans tonight," Slade ordered, "Not in a large battle, but a small skirmish that will just put them on edge about you. That's all."
"Well you didn't give me much time to prepare, did you?"
"You've had a week. That's more than enough."
"Very well. Oh, can I kill any of the Titans?"
Slade smiled, "Only if you can without fighting for more than ten minutes. That's the time limit I'm giving you."
Peregrine raised her eyebrows, "And why is there a time limit?"
"Because there is going to be a bomb in the building where you and the Titans fight. You will tell the Titans about it just as you leave the battle."
Peregrine nodded, "Sounds like fun. Don't worry, I'll be there."

Soars watched as Peregrine changed from her every day outfit of a tattered tank top and frayed jean shorts into her battle cloths, which were metal ankle and wrist links and an outfit that looked much like Hawk Girl's, only with out the helmet.
^Are you really gonna go attack the Teen Titans? ^ Soars asked.
"Well, sure," said Peregrine as she struggled to pull on her ankle guards, "Why shouldn't I?"
Soars looked at the ground, ^No reason. I was just wondering if you actually are working for Slade. ^
Peregrine smiled at her friends, "I'm not working for him. I'm working with him."
^What do you get out of it? ^
Peregrine scowled, "I get a fight, which is something I haven't gotten in a long time. I don't like you questioning my motives."
^Sorry. ^
Peregrine looked at her bird companion moodily, then pushed off the edge of her nest and soared to the old building where the Teen Titans were to meet her.

"Are you sure this is where the note said to meet her?" Beast Boy asked, looking around the top floor of the old office building.
Robin looked at the note, "Yah. And it's time for her to show. But where is she?"
"Maybe she chickened out," speculated Cyborg.
"Don't count on it," came a voice from the shadows.
All of the Teen Titans immediately went into a defensive stance, looking around for the source of the voice.
"Whose there?" Robin asked, "Show yourself!"
Out of the shadows stepped a girl who looked no older then sixteen. Robin thought she bore a striking resemblance to Hawk Girl, especially with her wings. The only thing that was different was that she didn't wear a helmet of any kind and she didn't have a mallet. Instead, chestnut-brown hair flowed down to her shoulders and she had no weapons.
"Who are you?" Robin demanded.
But the girl didn't answer. Instead, Beast Boy gasped, "Peregrine?"
