Blackfire looked at the Titans in horror. They looked back with dark eyes. She was trapped! The looks on the Titans' faces said it all. There was no way she could tell them.

"Just what did you do to our friend?" Robin yelled. "And why did you come back?"

"Wait" Blackfire tried to explain. "It's not what it looks like! That wasn't your friend!"

"Yes it was!" Cyborg yelled. "You came all the back from Tamarian just to kill an innocent little friend of ours trapped in time?"

"Yea why did you do it?" BeastBoy yelled even angrier.

"Guys…." Blackfire tried to say again. "Just listen to me…."

But their rage and their blindness to the truth took over!

"ATTACK!" Robin yelled.

Immediately Starfire blasted her sister! The other Titans charged after her. Blackfire got up. She had no choice now but to defend herself!

Robin leaped up in the air and spun around and tossed three of his explosive disks at her. Blackfire shot them with her starbolts but then she was blasted by Cyborg's sonic cannon. She got up and saw Robin jump at her with his steel bow. She managed to dodge his swings at her and then caught the bow and with Robin still holding it, she lifted it and threw Robin at Cyborg.

But at the same moment she was blasted again by Star. She saw Starfire fly towards her to try and take her out. Blackfire flew above her to dodge her, but BeastBoy, now a T-Rex, whacked Blackfire with his massive tail. The impact sent her flying and crashing into the wall at the end of the cave. She slumped down. She opened her eyes and saw a black giant boulder floating over her and plunge down to her. Immediately she jumped out of the way. Raven was now standing in front of her.

"Just listen to me" she desperately said. "I don't want to fight you!"

"I'll bet you don't!" Raven just said as she blasted Blackfire with her powers! Blackfire tried to hit her with her starbolts but Raven blocked them. Then she saw Starfire come after her again, but this time she dodged her and blasted her in the stomach, sending her flying away. She quickly turned around and finally hit Raven with her laser eye.

She seemed to be getting desperate so Blackfire got up and tried to fly away out of the cave to escape. But then she was caught by the ankle and yanked back to the ground by Robin's grappling hook. Quickly she grabbed the rope as Robin held it and used her strength to yank and throw Robin him into Starfire. But then she heard Cyborg yelling as he leaped up and tried to blast her again. She dodged the massive shot, but she was still knocked down by the impact. As she got up she saw BeastBoy turned into a bull and charging at her. She quickly punched the ground with her starbolt and the blast knocked him up. She then grabbed BB by the horns and using her strength tossed him at Cyborg.

Then finally she got up and made a run for it. She flew to the opening of the cave as the Titans tried to stop her again. She fired a few more starbolts at them to hold them off.

Blackfire was racing through the air for her life to make it out of the cave.

But then a black wall appeared cutting her off as she crashed into it. Raven, who used her powers to stop her, and the other Titans, came up as they were getting closer to her. But Blackfire laser eyed the ceiling in front of them as it exploded and a bunch of rocks fell in front of them to close them off. Blackfire punched at the dark wall Raven made and flew on.

The Titans then quickly destroyed the rocks that stopped them and went after Blackfire again.

Then finally the Titans reached the end of the cave. They were outside again. Blackfire was no where to be found.

"Where did she go?" Robin yelled.

"She vanished" BeastBoy said.

"Not for long though" Cyborg said angrily.

"If she thinks she can really get away with this, she's dead wrong!" Raven said.

"But where is she? She could be anywhere." Star said.

"Alright!" Robin said. "Everybody split up! Search the entire city! Find her, and take her down! Let's go!"

Immediately Starfire, Raven and BeastBoy took to the sky and flew away in opposite directions. Cyborg then made his way to the T-Car, hoped in and speeded off. Robin waited til they were gone and immediately ran to his motorcycle.

He hoped on and revved it up. He speeded of down to the road.

But then his eyes widened up in shock. He immediately hit the breaks and came to a shrieking halt! He stopped. Blackfire was standing right there in front of him! She stood her ground and wasn't going anywhere! They stared at each other; Blackfire looked Robin in the eyes. Robin looked back. Then Robin went for his communicator to contact the others, but Blackfire lifted her finger and hit it away from him with a small bolt.

"Listen to me!" she told him. "I don't want to fight you guys. Terra is alive! And so is Slade!"

Robin looked at her. "Do you really think I supposed to believe that and….."

But then he stopped! He thought for a moment. "Wait a minute!" he said. "How do you know who Slade and Terra are?"

"Because" Blackfire said. "They were the ones who tried to attack and destroy me out in the woods. Them and their friend CinderBlock."

"Huh?" Robin said. "But then what……you……" he was confused.

"Terra's alive." Blackfire said. "But that statue you saw me destroy wasn't her. It was a replica of herself she made."

"Hold on." Robin said. "You were out there in the woods when we fought CinderBlock?" he asked. She nodded her head. Robin then remembered that night, after they beat CinderBlock they all thought Slade might have come back, but didn't really believe or think he did.

"After they tried to kill me and got away I was able to hunt and find them in the cave. Slade is alive! He brought back Terra. I saw them in person in there in that cave!"

"But how would know about them in the first place?" Robin asked.

Blackfire closed her eyes for a second. "I had to hack into yall's computer at the Tower to find out who they were. I read everything about them. Then after I found them, Slade tried to talk to me. He tried to offer me to join him and Terra and to help try and take you guys down. I refused. Then they tried to attack me again and then they got away; they disappeared into earth. They're still alive! I encountered them myself Robin. That's when I blew up the statue and you guys showed up thinking I just killed her."

She stopped and closed her eyes for a moment trying to hold back the emotions and the anger. Robin didn't want to believe a word of what Blackfire said, but it all sounded so real. It all made sense somehow. "No! This can't be! You're lying!" he said in disbelief.

"You have to trust me. You know Slade better than anyone else and you know what he's capable of." She told him. "I don't wanna fight you guys. I just wanna find Slade and Terra and take them down so I can take my…."

"No!" You're not going after him." Robin said. He was trying to gather his thoughts. "I don't want any trouble with you Robin." Blackfire told him one last time.

Then the communicator on Robin's R-Cycle beeped. Robin looked at Blackfire for a moment with an unsure look. He answered the communicator. "Robin!" Cyborg was on it. "Have you found Blackfire yet? Cause neither of us have. Did you find her?"

Robin looked over at Blackfire again. She looked back at him. He could see it in her now. He turned to back to Cyborg. "No." he answered. "I haven't found her yet. Keep searching though." Then Cyborg responded "Alright then" and went off.

They looked back at each other. "Alright Blackfire. I'll help you find Slade." Robin told her. "But don't think this means I can trust you. Alright?"

Finally Blackfire breathed a sigh of relief, knowing he wasn't gonna fight her. "Alright then" she said.

"Come on." Robin said.

Meanwhile Cyborg and the others were still out and about looking all over the place for Blackfire.

"Still no sign of her." Raven said on the communicator.

"We can not let her get away." Starfire said.

"Robin hasn't found her either." BeastBoy replied.

"Just keep searching everyone." Cyborg replied. "We'll find her."

But meanwhile Robin had returned to Titans Tower and made Blackfire come with him. She was sitting outside one of the doors in the hallway as she waited for Robin to come out. Then the door opened and Robin came out carrying a black, brown outfit and a bunch of weapons with big a big "S" on them.

"What the heck?" Blackfire said.

"These are all the little souvenirs I got after being Slade's apprentice. If we're gonna find and take down Slade, then we have to think like Slade too." Robin went off the room across the hall. "Gimmie a second to change into this."

Meanwhile the other Titans were still searching for Blackfire.

Then their communicators went off. They answered. "Titans!" Robin said. "I've found Blackfire! She's here at the beach just behind the metal plant! Come quick!"

Cyborg immediately responded. "We're on our way!" "Ditto." Raven said. The Titans headed in the direction.

But underground, the image of Robin that appeared on the Titans' communicators was on a big screen. Slade pressed the button and it went away. "Excellent!" Slade said sadistically! Terra stood behind him. "Hehehehehehe!" she laughed.

Meanwhile, Robin and Blackfire stood on the roof at Titans Tower. "I have to admit" Blackfire said to him "you look like you would've made a great apprentice for a guy like Slade."

"Oh please!" Robin said to her. "I don't even wanna go there!"

"So where do we start?" Blackfire asked.

But before Robin could answer his communicator went off. He looked at it and it showed some kind off trouble, at the metal plant on the other side of town. "Huh?" Robin touched the buttons on it and tried to call Cyborg.

"Cyborg? Where are you? What's going on?"

Then there was an answer.

"Why, hello Robin!" Slade appeared on the screen!

"Huh?" Blackfire gasped! "No" Robin whispered!
