Payback.

In the darkness, Raven could see him perfectly. He stood a few feet from her, hands clasped securely behind his back. Behind him loomed several large computer screens showing different views of the city.

"Raven, how have you been?" Slade turned to face the girl in black, moving swiftly out of the way of the objects she hurled at him. "Now my dear, temper, temper," he shook his finger. "Wouldn't want to get a visit from daddy, would we?" Immediately Raven stopped. Slade smiled to himself. But he knew better then to be over confident, she was after all the most powerful member of the Titans, and highly unpredictable. Unlike her counter part.

"I want answers from you," the girl growled.

"Of course you do my dear," Slade narrowed his eye. "But first I'd like to know what happened to Collins and those other lunatics?"

"I killed them," her face never faltered.

"Naturally, you are after all a born killer,"

Raven glared at the man. Her hatred was boiling up inside of her body. "Yes. And your next Slade?" she screamed. The man was picked up and hurled into the computer screen behind him. Electric sparks flickered into the air around him as he tumbled to the ground.

"Don't waste your time with threats girl. If you were going to kill me you would have done it already," He climbed back to his feet, giving the impression that we was unharmed.

Raven pulled her hood back, revealing her pale face and dark purple hair. She looked annoyed, through she was trying to hide it well. "I'm not afraid of you," Her voice was low.

Slade knew that he had to very careful around her, the smallest remark could set her off. He folded his arms across his chest.

"Well child what is it you want to know?"

Raven narrowed her eyes. "You cloned me,"

"I did, is that all you wanted to know,"

The girl clenched her fists. "I want to know why you would do that!" she yelled. Automatically the lights began to flicker, then smash. Broken glass scattered upon the ground between them.

"This is why," Slade said staring into Raven's eyes. "You so powerful, my dear. The perfect little weapon. Except for your greatest fault. That demon of yours. For a long time I have been watching you. Your inability to gain control over your demonic side is what gave me the idea, to remake you," he paused. "But even that had consequences,"

By now the room was threatening to be pulled apart by the girls uncontrollable rage. "How dare you…." she repeated over and over. "Where is my clone now?!" Slade tossed a glance in her direction.

"Why right know, she's probably destroying your little friends,"

Raven couldn't believe her ears. But Slade continued.

"Scarlet is exactly like you in appearance, and she has access to your full powers, no strings attached. And like you she has been an outside all her life. What she truly desires is to belong, but that would not be with the Titans…"

"What do you mean?" Raven sneered.

"She's a time bomb, just waiting to go off," he chuckled. "In a way your to blame for your friends demise. Maybe you can handle being ignored, but your sister couldn't,"

The man knocked away her next attack, with one kick she hit the ground, moaning softly.

"Raven, why fight me, when you should be warning your friends. She's already got Terra," he hissed in her ear.

"Terra?"

Slade nodded. "Her abilities re-awoken and she has returned to her normal form. I couldn't have planned it better myself. I know how you despise the girl. And Scarlet is no different,"

Terra? Dead? Raven blocked out all her emotions. She had no other choice. And as much as she hated to admit it, Slade was right. She had to find Scarlet before something bad happened to any more of her friends. Slade would have to wait. But she would get her revenge on him. The girl could feel her angry slowly taking control. She had to let it out on someone. Someone had to pay, and if not Slade, then this impostor.

"Where is she?"

The girl staggered to her feet, only to fall back down again. Wiping the blood from her lips, she reached for her communciator, to find it missing. Probably broken in the wreckage. Her eyes grew moist with tears as she curled into a ball. Her leg was killing her. Gently rubbing her fingers across the wound to feel the bone sticking out.

"Oh god…oh my god," she sobbed.

"Terra….Terra… can you hear me Ter? C'mon answer me….please," In a rage Beast boy threw the device out of his door.

"Ouch,"

"Oops," He stepped on to the corridor. "Sorry Robin,"

The other boy rubbed the back of his head softly. He flashed Beast Boy a grim look. Picking up the communciator, Robin handed it back to Beast Boy. "You should be more careful with that thing. It's not a toy remember,"

"Yeah, yeah, yeah," The green boy snapped. "Whatever," He slumped against the wall.

"Still no word from Terra?"

"Does it look like it!"

"Hey, don't take it out on me," Robin held his arms up in defence.

"Sorry," he muttered staring at his shoes. "It's just I'm kinda worried. I mean she would have said something, you know. Even if it was a goodbye,"

Robin put his arm around Beast Boy. "I sure she's okay,"

"Yeah, I guess so…." he paused and raised an eyebrow. "Robin why are you all dressed up?"

Instantly the boy faces when bright red. "What are you talking about,"

"Your going on a date aren't you?"

"Well.. Yeah kind of," Robin stammered.

"With who?" The curious boy inquired.

"Robin and Raven?!!!!" Cyborg fell over with laughter. "Good one BB!"

"Yes," agreed Starfire. "It is most amusing,"

Beast Boy glared hard at his friend. "Robin just told me a few minutes ago,"

"Yeah sure whatever," Cyborg said between giggles.

Starfire floated besides the shape shifter. "Perhaps you misunderstood. I often do," she smiled trying to cheer him up. "Fear not friend, for I Starfire have made the round food of junk known as the cookie," she presented him with a tray of green bobs. "Try,"

"Emm, maybe later,"
