A/N: Before I go any further, I would like to thank the following people for reviewing this fanfiction: Armads, DangerousBlackfire, JuniorBins, CloudedDragon, and Dr. Evans, seeshysama9, and someone who wishes to be known as "A reader." Many thanks to Armads (you're about two steps away from being my beta reader :) and Dr. Evans (I appreciate your reviews. Keep 'em coming!) I also want to thank all the other people out there who have read this fanfic, but just have not reviewed yet. I know you're out there reading, so please make yourself know to me! I would like to answer as many reviews as possible. Anyway, I'll get back to the fic, because I promised you people three updates this week and DAMMIT YOU'RE GONNA GET IT!

Chapter 5: Mission Accomplished?

Gil and Raven faced each other on the rooftop, a light rain falling on them." First of all, why are you being so aloof with us?" Raven asked with her arms folded across her chest. "They don't plan to cause you any harm by feeding you!" Gil took of his mask and head covering. "It's not that I don't appreciate your hospitality, I just have to move on." Raven started to get angrier. "Move on? To what? Maybe you don't realize it yet, but we're all on the same side here! And don't get me started about Terra being worried sick about you! She didn't eat a bite because she was worried about you this whole time. At least humor her and the others for a moment and be civil."

"You should keep your mouth shut about civility. Dragging me out in the freezing rain to talk about humoring a child, is that civility? And another thing, don't assume that just because we have a common enemy that we're on the same "side" as you so aptly put it. How do you know if I have my own agenda, or if I'm working with my brother?" Gil turned his back to Raven and sat down on the edge of the tower, overlooking the city.

"I don't know. As a matter of fact, I suspect you're not as good as the rest of the titans think you are. I know evil when I see it."

"Whatever...." Gil said nonchalantly as he looked over the city.

Raven closed her eyes for a moment, as if she were in deep thought. She looked into his mind for a moment, using her powers. O.K. He is definitely NOT working with his brother here. But to whether or not he has his own agenda, I'll wait and see. He's trying to leave so that if his brother does find him, we won't be in the way....THAT'S IT! Raven opened her eyes again, the truth of the matter revealed to her.

".......I know why you're trying to leave. You think that leaving us here will spare us from harm. You care so much for others that you would refuse their friendship rather than see them in pain. We can help you take him down.....if you TRUST us."

Gil took a pebble and absent-mindedly threw it off the roof. "You don't what to see what is in the rest of my mind.......get out while you're still sane."

"Don't worry...there's nothing there that I haven't seen in someone else's mind at one time or another." Raven said with a slight smirk on her face.

"Oh...then you must have been to the part already that says I think you're cute, right?" Gil said turning around to see a blushing and slightly flustered Raven. Gil could have sworn the moment he said that he heard a light bulb and two TVs explode downstairs. He didn't know for sure if Raven caused the sudden explosions, but he decided to tease her again anyway. "I was joking. Oh, by the way.....I sense you don't really like me. You think I'm some arrogant rouge out just for himself don't you?" Somewhere, glassbegan to break and a cat screeching could be heard from the top of the tower.

"Are you staying?" was all Raven would say....not indicating if he was correct or not. She knew he was trying to rattle her cage a bit, and she wouldn't let him upset her that way.

"Yes, but only for a day or two. I don't want to be here for very long."

Remy's Base:

Blackfire came into the main room, dressed for combat and with tear stained cheeks. Remy beckoned her to him. "Have you been crying dear? Please cheer up, my future queen isn't supposed to cry like this." He caressed her face, feeling the warmth of her cheeks. "Are you ready for your mission?" Blackfire nodded her head. Remy reached into his pocket and gave her a picture. "I want you to bring this person to me....alive. Can you do that for me Blackfire?" Still scared to death of him, Blackfire only nodded again. "Good, this shouldn't be a difficult assignment, even for you." As he was saying this, Blackfire was already out of the door. Her destination: Titan Tower.

Back at Titan Tower:

The Titans and their group of friends sat down at the dinner table, which was hamburgers (tofu burger for Beast Boy) and either hash browns or baked beans. Supercharge gobbled his hamburger and looked over quizzically at Beast Boy, chomping away on his tofu burger. "How can you eat that crap?! It tastes like horse shit!" This obscenity was rewarded by a slap to the back of the head by Tessa Harris (aka Skullogirl), who was out of her "superhero" costume and into a pair of blue jeans and green top. "No cursing at the dinner table!" Then she smiled over at Beast Boy. "I think it's cool that you're a vegan, BB. I've been thinking about doing it myself." Her seemingly innocent smile lingered as she looked over at Beast Boy. A little too long for a certain blonde female sitting next to him. Robin noticed that Terra was about to explode with anger and quickly changed the subject. "So Jonathan, Tessa, Gil, where are you guys from?"

"I'm from New York, New York baby!" Tessa chirped happily.

"I'm from Los Angeles, but I've lived in about a dozen cites across the US. New Orleans, Jacksonville, Detroit, just to name a few." Jonathan said in between bites of his humongous hamburger. All those places, and I haven't seen a creature as beautiful as the girl beside me. He shifted his seat to face the Tamaranian and ask about her heritage. He didn't hear a word she said. My goodness look at her! She's perfect. That wonderful skin. That silky hair. I've got to have this beautiful thing for myself......

As Jonathan drooled over Starfire, she briefly went over the history of her planet and its people, and how she arrived on Earth. She then turned towards Gil. "Friend Gil, where on Earth do you come from?" Gil looked up from his baked beans, seemingly surprised that anyone thought enough of him to speak. "Me?"

"Of course! Now tell us where it is you came from."

"I'm not sure exactly where it is I'm from. You see, I was born in Egypt, but my family isn't Egyptian. My mother is from Brazil and my father is half English and half Russian. At least that's what my grandfather told me."

"Did your parents.....pass away?" a confused Cyborg asked, trying not to bring up any bad memories.

Gil shook his head. "I don't know. They disappeared when I was two years old. Everything I know about them I learned from my grandfather. He never mentioned whether they are dead or alive. To be honest.....I don't know if I really want to know the truth about them." Gil got up from the table, his head downcast. "I appreciate the meal, but I'm still tired from today's battle. Don't worry about where I'll sleep...I can find my way back to the infirmary. Good night." With that, Gil turned to leave from the table. No one followed.

Later that night.......

Blackfire perched up on a cliff nearby Titan Tower. This should be the right time to pull off the mission. Those pests are probably asleep. She hovered over towards the new tower and found one of the Titans standing alone, looking out over the city. My timing was excellent, and their defenses are open, but there is a problem……this isn't the Titan I was assigned to kidnap…..

Who was Blackfire sent to apprehend? And who is standing on the Tower, unaware of the battle that is about to begin? Stay tuned!

HAHAHA! Sorry, just had to do it! Cliffhangers suck don't they? Anyhow, I challenge you to tell me who is waiting on the Tower and who Blackfire was sent after. It may not be who you think…..As always, reviews…..(even if they are negative, but please no STUPID FLAMES!) are welcome, so if you have a question, comment, or suggestions, leave it in the reviews or email me at . I'll be back later this week with yet another update, PEACE
