Hey! Well, I guess your wondering who Edie is huh?  Well, she's a friend I met on Fan Fiction and we have little a little sort of a game where the other person doesn't post until the other posts. In other words we take turns posting chapters. Well, I suppose that you read the Chapter Title and are very eager for me to continue, but maybe I will torture you a bit and not do this chapter! Maybe I shouldn't finish the story at all! Nah, I was just kidding, I'm not that mean. Well, I've been stalling long enough.

Disclaimer: Look, I watched Teen Titans last night, and if I really did own Teen Titans, Terra would have a bigger part!

Chapter 18: Welcome Home

          After a fun three hours of singing Karaoke, eating pizza, and making jokes, Cyborg led Shadow back to Titans Tower.

          "Come on," Said Cyborg, leading Shadow into the evidence room. "I wanna show you something." He would first lead her to the evidence room, then, to her surprise.

          "What is this place?" Shadow asked in awe as Cyborg opened the door.

          "This," Said Cyborg, leading her in. "Is the Evidence room."

          Large glass cases here displayed everywhere, and inside them were pieces of evidence the Titans had come up with during their many adventures. Shadow walked along one of the aisles, Cyborg watching her. It was almost as if she was looking for something, but she seemed so anxious, it was as if she was hoping it wouldn't be there. Please don't be here, she thought, Please don't be here. She stopped at one of the cases, it had a light over it, so it was one of the more important pieces. She was just staring at it. No expression on her face.

          Cyborg walked next to her and saw that she was looking at one of Slade's masks that they had managed to get a hold of.

          "That's one of Slade's masks," he explained. "Slade is-"

          "I know who Slade is." She said politely, still staring at the mask.

          This surprised Cyborg. "Have you had problems with him?"

          "Let's just say he's not my favorite person." She said solemnly.

           Cyborg now knew that this wasn't the best place to be with Shadow right now, so he led her back into the hall and to a door that was open about 3 inches. The light was off.

          "Close your eyes." Cyborg said, "Don't open them until I say." She closed her eyes and he led her into the dark room. What could he possibly be up to? She thought. "Okay," said Cyborg flipping on the light, "Open."

          When Shadow opened her eyes, she saw she was in a room just like the one at her Uncles house, along with all of the Teen Titans plus her Uncle smiling at her. Robin stepped forward.

          "Hold out your hands and close your eyes, and I will give you a big surprise." He said smiling, holding something behind his back.

          Shadow hesitated. "You're not gonna kiss me are you?" she said apprehensively.

          Robin laughed, Starfire's eyes widening behind him. "Not a chance." He said. Starfire relaxed.

          Shadow laughed too. "Good," she said smiling, "Okay then." She closed her eyes and held her hands out. She felt Robin give her something. When she opened her eyes, she saw a Titan Communicator in her palms. She looked up at Robin, tears swelling in her eyes.

          He smiled and stepped out of her way, flourishing his hands to her new room. "Welcome home." He said.
