Raven froze... Slade? He was dead... he had to be, there was no why he could still be alive. She had seen him die. She had seen him fall into the lava, and scream as it burned his life away. How could he still be alive? Raven did something entirely out of character, she went into brain lock. Her emotions took control and the prominent one right now was fear. Fear of one person. Now Raven is a strong girl she doesn't get afraid often, she has never once backed down from a fight or anything else. But this man, this one man made her afraid. And the fact that he was still alive terrified Raven. It was like seeing her father again... and everyone knows how Raven's daddy is...

"Kye you were late. Why?" asked the boy standing by Slade.

"Well you see man there was a-a disturbance a-and ummm... I-I though I should help out, you know, so the whole hero thing. Comon, Rio, mate give me a break?" He stammered.

"sigh whatever don't do it again, you know this was important," said Rio.

"You got it mate."

This boy Rio was defiantly the in charge kid here, and as he stepped into the dim light Raven was able to get a better look at him. He was taller than Robin (maybe as tall as Aqua lad?) and had brown hair. He was wearing very plain clothing, just a black jacket, red shirt, and blue jeans. But Raven knew there was something odd about him... he seemed powerful. She couldn't tell, but when she looked into his eyes there seemed to be something behind them, some hidden power. But...

"So is this all of your little friends Rio?"

Slade!!!! Raven had completely forgotten he was there. She had been so wrapped up with this Rio boy.

"Yea there all here now," Rio said glaring at Kye, "so why did you call our teacher?"

"Because I know he is looking for the other elementals," Replied Slade in a smug voice, "here is one of them."

"What, the statue?" spoke the blonde haired boy, Tien.

"Yes this is Terra and she is not a statue, she was turned into one."

"By who?" spoke Rho.

"Oh, the Teen Titans," Slade said. (gasp no one say that coming, huh?)

At the T-tower the clock rang signifying that it was now 11:00. Cyborg was sitting in the living room repairing one of his practice bots. He had been playing (and winning mind you) a video game with Beast Boy, but now the green boy was passed out on the couch. Robin had told them to stay up and wait for Raven. It had been about 1 hour since she had gone out... Cyborg wondered if she was ok. He thought about waking Beast Boy to go and look for her, but then changed his mind. Putting a blanket over his friend, Cyborg cleaned up his mess and headed off to bed. Then suddenly the alarms of the tower when off, as 5 miles away Raven push her T-communicator for help.
