Hello evryone! Welcome to the second chappie of 'Forgotten Memory' (mind you, the title will prolly change, I just haven't thought of a better one!) To those that reviewed, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! When I got the e-mails saying I had reviews, I practically jumped for joy! For some odd reason, I felt a little depressed earlier that night, but when you people reviewed, HAPPEE, HAPPEE, HAPPEE!!!! I couldn't stop grinning. My family prolly thought I was some mad-psycho in disguise, and that I had come to kill them all. But anywho…plz continue to review, it makes my happee!! Oh, and mind you, I'm not the best at writing conversations, so I write whatever the heck tickles me till I pee! and sorry I took soooo entirely long to update, schools been hell, but I'm now officially on Christmas break, so now I can get more done if my sister will relinquish the computer!

Lain: What's funnee is that I got this story idea from a dream. (It's a part that's coming the next chapter) As for my other storee, that really needs to be updated. I have about a million new ideas for it, so ill prolly remove it for awhile.

Sly-mageagain, sorry for the delay, but the good news is that I've got 3 more chapters written, they just need to be typed

Blaze- why thank you, I specialize in evil. And there's a cliffie at the end of evry chapter ive written, so…ha! Enjoy those and this!

Disclaimer: I don't own Teen Titans, but I do own Karigan and her mother, and Jake (at least when he was younger) and to find out what that means, keep R&R!

Forgotten Memory

Chapter 2: Answers

Karigan wasn't really sure what she was doing at Titan's Tower, but nevertheless, she had to find out who sent that robot. Before she came her, Karigan had stopped at home to get some sketches of Jake's robots. The weird thing was, was that she didn't know why she had. Karigan sighed, and pressed a button that she guessed to be a doorbell. Then a somewhat stern voice that hinted leadership came over the intercom.

"What do ya want?" the voice asked tersely. Must be Robin, Karigan concluded.

"I need answers and I believe you have them." There was a slight pause, and Robin replied with, "Come on in." The doors slid apart and Karigan was face to face with none other than the Boy Wonder himself. He outstretched his hand, "Robin." Karigan shook it, "Karigan." Robin then nodded, turned around, and started walking.

"So what exactly are you looking for?" he asked.

"Answers." Karigan put simply.

"Fair enough." Soon enough they entered the living room/kitchen area where the rest of the team was gathered. When they entered, everyone's heads turned in their direction. Robin led her over to them and began the introductions.

"Karigan, the Team. The Team, Karigan. Ok, introductions; the green guy, that's Beast Boy; tall red-head, Starfire; robotic looking guy, Cyborg; and the hooded one, Raven." Karigan nodded to each of them in turn and added, "Please, call me Kari, Karigan seems to formal to me." Almost everyone nodded, but Raven sat there in an almost sulking mood. She probably doesn't trust a lot of people; that's ok, I can respect that. Karigan mused.

Then Robin turned back to her, "So, you said you needed answers?"

Karigan nodded, "Yes." She walked over to the island and took some papers out of her messenger bag.

"Earlier today a robot visited my house, put a gigantic hole in my living room wall and pinned my mother underneath the rubble that then sent her into a coma, and tried to kidnap me. Apparently it was trying to 'take me to its master'." She explained. Then Karigan took a deep breath and continued, "Before it could do so, I shut it down, and took its faceplate and stun gun thing. Since it looked oddly familiar, I went through some old sketches a person from my past had had me draw. As I continued to look at them, I realized I was looking at a rough draft of the robot that attacked me earlier. Here's the face plate and gun." She added. Karigan then reached into her bag and pulled out a shiny, metallic face and the stun gun, which she handed to Cyborg.

Robin was looking through the sketches. "These are unbelievably accurate. And the science behind them is extraordinary."

Karigan nodded, "I know, I drew them. But the science wasn't me."

The Boy Wonder looked up, "Who was it then?"

Karigan's face darkened at the thought of Jake. "He was once a friend." Starfire looked puzzled, "Friend Karigan, by what do you mean 'was'?"

Karigan lifted her eyes to the pretty alien girl, "To put it bluntly, he tried to rape me. But it was all good until today."

"Can I keep these?" Robin asked, looking to Karigan again.

The dark-haired girl turned to him and shrugged, "Yeah, I guess. But do you know who sent the machine?" Robin looked back to the papers, "I have a hunch." He responded mysteriously. Karigan took the answer in and nodded. "Just one question," the Titans' leader continued, "What do you plan on doing with the answer we may give you?"

"If my mother dies, I'm gonna kick the little buggers ass; and if my mom lives, well, I'm still gonna kick the little buggers' ass." She answered calmly.

"That works. We'll contact you if and when we know anything. Then you can start your kicking or go to the police."

"Well, here's my cell number, and you can keep all the robot crap. I also just want to thank you guys for doing this. Right now I'm not sure why you even are, but I thank you all the same." Before anyone else could say anything, the incessant and slightly annoying beeping of a phone sounded through the air and seemed to be coming from Karigan's bag. She quickly grabbed the noisy phone and answered it. "Hello? after a slight pause her face lit up, and she began to smile maniacally. "I'll be right over!" she said gleefully. Karigan hung up the phone, still grinning. Wow, was she beautiful when she did that. Robin couldn't help but grin too. Hell, everyone was grinning, and even Raven seemed to grow a little less stony.

"That was my mom's doctor; he said she's beginning to wake up! I gotta go, but give me a call if you learn anything." Karigan told everyone, "And thank you so much!" She added, heading for the door.

Luckily JCMC ( Jump City Medical Center) wasn't very far away. And when you're going at about 80 on local streets, it's a lot closer. Karigan couldn't help it, her grin wouldn't go away. People that actually saw her might think she's insane or something. When she arrived at the hospital, Karigan again took the stairs to room 214. She quickly slowed down and entered her mom's room. Everything was silent except for the beeping of the heart monitor and her mom's slow breaths. Karigan tip-toed to Andrea's side, (AN: yes, her mom's name is Andrea, it just took me awhile to figure out you didn't know) and grabbed her hand, holding on for dear life. Earlier, she had been on a ventilator, but now it seemed she could breathe fine on her own.

"Mom?" Karigan whispered. The raven-haired girl could see her eyes moving under pale eyelids; and then they slowly opened.

"Kari?" Andrea gasped out croakily.

"Yeah mom, I'm here, everything's gonna be ok."

"What happened?" Karigan paused for a moment to consider her answer.

"That's not important; all that matters now is that you're ok." Karigan smiled down in her mother. She had always thought of Andrea as invincible, but now that she was laying, injured, in the hospital, Karigan really began to notice that her mom was a person just like everyone else. Andrea couldn't smile, but you could tell she was happy to see her daughter by the look in her eyes. She doesn't know I'm dying. Andrea thought groggily.

"Kari," Andrea croaked, "You know as well as I do that I'm not going to make it through this." Karigan's face fell, "Mom—." "Don't interrupt me." Andrea scolded softly. "I love you, you know that, right?" Tears began to gather at the corners of Karigan's eyes, and she nodded solemnly. "I love you too." Andrea attempted to smile, but was interrupted by a series of ragged, heart-breaking coughs. A little bit of blood dribbled out of the side of her mouth, and then the hand in Karigan's went limp. The heart monitor, which had been repeatedly beeping, now emitted a drawn-out, "eeeeee…" Karigan shut off the machine, stood up, kissed her mothers forehead and let go of her hand. She then wrote a simple note to the doctor telling him where he could reach her aunt Pegg about funeral arrangements. Then the teenager strode out the door, never looking back.

In the hallway, she passed Andrea's doctor. The depressed girl looked up at him, and shook her head solemnly and kept walking. She silently strode to her car. About halfway home, Karigan changed her mind and route, and instead headed for the outskirts of Jump City. The sun would soon be setting, so she would have to hurry. Karigan finally came to her destination; a small lake where she would ride her bike from her house right after her mother and herself moved to Jump City. She usually came here to watch sunsets, think, or just plain get away. Today, it was to think.

Right after Karigan left Titan's Tower.

Silence fell between the Titans. Robin was back looking at the sketches. Beast Boy had taken the stun gun thing from Cyborg and nearly blew Star's head off; had it not been for Raven's blocking it.

The Goth then turned to Robin after Cyborg snatched the gun back from BB and was giving him a talking to. "Are you going to sit there, delaying the inevitable, or are you going to come out and say what you're thinking?"

Robin sighed, "It's Slade." Everyone beside Beast Boy didn't look surprised.

"WHAT?!" Beast Boy exploded, "It's SLADE?! As in, THE Slade?! But-how-wha?" and he was off, muttering and stuttering incoherent parts of words. Raven rolled her eyes, "Bird brain." BB stopped and changed into an elephant, "I can't be a bird brain if I'm not a bird!" Raven rolled her eyes again and if she was able to control her emotions more, would've stuck her tongue out at him. (AN: :-P heeheehee, just had to do that…)

The Boy Wonder turned to look at everybody, "I'm not sure what Slade wants with Karigan, but it can't be to catch up on old times. And whatever Slade wants, Slade gets, one way or another."

so, how didja like it? Good, good, now be a nice little pet, I mean reader and review! Not as much as a cliffie as the last, but it'll do, I think. So here's your little excerpt from the next chappie:

'Karigan gasped and tried to scream as a gloved hand covered her mouth.' OoO why is she trying to scream? OoO I only do this to make you guys come back. So now that you're really intrigued, you have to come back! HA! I am truly evil and LOVIN' it!!! WOOT!!! Until next the next chappie, bye!!!
