It was a few weeks later, Virtue's new uniform was ordered and she had a communicator clipped on to the belt of her old shabby one. The Titans sat at the breakfast table attempting to choke down Beastboy's latest tofu creation. Starfire had excitedly zipped off to get their mail.

"I have returned without daily notices dear friends!" She sing-songed as she drops the small stack of letter and bills on the table. Robin picks them up carefully and checks the label on each. Mostly bills, an electronics magazine for Cyborg and one plain pale blue envelope, not return address. Not even an actual address to the Titan Tower. It was marked with one word only….

"Virtue," said Robin slowly. The young girl stopped spearing tofu onto her fork and glanced up with her wide blue eye,

"Yesh?" she slurred though a tofu-filled mouth. Chew and swallow.

"You've got a letter" He held it out. Watching her carefully through masked eyes. Virtue shoved another forkful into her mouth and –fork dangling from her lips- reached out for the envelope. She looked at her name with open curiousity. Robin caught a brief flicker of something in her eyes before she shoved the envelope under her thigh. A Flicker of something dark.

"Aren't you going to open it?" asked Robin gently. Virtue swallowed carefully.

"Naw, Right now I think all I'll need is another serving of that ummmm….stuff…." she held out her empty plate to Beastboy who enthusiastically heaped more tofu-crud on her plate. Glad someone was eating it. "Besides," she said. "It's probably something boring and stupid anyways…."

Robin nodded slowly. Though he was certain that whatever was in the envelope was neither boring nor stupid….
