I do not own the Teen Titans. I do own Ember and Fletcher, and you may not use them without my consent.

She panted heavily, glad that no one could see her. And best of all, her plan had worked. As she watched, his shadow stopped, turned, and fled in the opposite direction. She breathed a huge sigh of relief. Once again, she was free of her nightmare for the moment.

The girl turned her attention to the three who had unknowingly saved her life. They were absolutely clueless of what had just happened. Good. I'd like to keep it that way, she thought to herself. But not all of them were as clueless as she thought. One girl with a blue hooded cape seemed to sense her presence. She was looking straight at her and didn't even know it. Or did she?

Raven looked in the direction that these thoughts and feeling were coming from. Whoever's they were, were a little harder to read, but she knew someone was there.

"Beastboy, there's someone here," Raven whispered. She kept looking in the direction of the thoughts, and cautiously took a step forward. The thoughts, as she thought they would, moved away from her.

"Say what? You mean there was someone here Raven. Whoever that girl was, she's gone now. She completely disappeared."

"Beastboy, I'm reading thoughts, and they're coming from this direction," Raven said. "I can feel it." She took another step forward. The thoughts retreated again.

Beastboy and Cyborg just stared. They followed Raven though.

"Well, there's no one here. If there were, they would have come out by now." Cyborg headed for the tower. Beastboy followed.

Raven took one last look back, then walked swiftly to catch up with the boys.

The girl didn't bother to follow the group of three. Her hunter was nowhere in sight, and she had heard his footsteps long after she had hid in the trio. He must have kept going. Watching them walk away just a bit longer, she turned away from the Titans and headed toward the city.

The Titans arrived at the tower, eager to see how Robin was doing. Starfire had laid him down in the medical room. Unfortunately, he was still unconscious, but at least he was okay.

According to testing, Robin had been electrocuted. "Probably by Overload," Raven said. "A few more seconds, and he would have died."

"Yeah but Overload wouldn't let somebody live! I mean, he's stupid, but not that stupid," Beastboy said. "Why would he let him live?"

"Who knows, but it's a good thing he did," Cyorg said quietly, looking at Robin.

About five minutes later, Robin began to stir.

"He is awakening!" Starfire cried in her most joyful voice. Everyone in the room hurried over to the bed. Robin began to open his eyes, little by little. He made a soft moan and turned his head up from its sideways position. "Star?" he asked weakly, looking at the tall girl. He smiled warmly.

"Oh Robin!" she cried. She hugged his head against her chest, stroking his hair. He put one hand on her arm. "I am glad that you are unharmed," she said with relief.

Yet another horrifying scream came from downstairs. Everyone looked up. "What was that?" asked Robin, looking very confused. Fists were hammering on the door of the tower.

"Let me in! Let me in!" a girl screamed.

Why can't he just leave? "Leave me alone! Go away!" She pounded her fists into the heavy steel door, hoping someone would hear her.

"I'm not going anywhere," said a low voice beside her. The door in front of them creaked. The boy gasped, and then was gone.

The girl she had seen with the blue cape quickly opened the door. Her eyes widened when she saw her, but she said nothing and ushered her inside. The dark girl peeked out the door to see if anyone was there, shook her head, and closed it. The dark teen watched her so intently that it made the girl feel uncomfortable. After the girl had caught her breath, she introduced herself.

"Um, hi, I'm Ember, and well, I came because I needed a hiding place for a few minutes." Ember said. "I won't be long." The girl Raven looked at her for a second, then nodded. The mysterious girl obviously wasn't much of a talker, or very social.
