CHAPTER 2

A Mission

In Jump City sat a gothic half-demon sorceress at the kitchen table eating her cereal. Raven was alone. She supposed everyone was still asleep since it was only eight in the morning. She reached to her left and pulled the newspaper closer to her. The headline was about a scientist who died during an experiment in Gotham. She opened it up and turned to the horoscopes. Same crap as always... joy.

Raven sighed and looked down at her cereal. She heard the sound of the door whooshing open then closing. Robin, She thought to herself. She could recognize the smell of shampoo he used and the brain waves he transmitted and the sound of his confident footsteps that made soft padding noses as his bare feet hit the tilted floor of the kitchen. She didn't look up as Robin bent down slightly and kissed her on the cheek. The first time he did this her breakfast exploded at the shock and warmness Raven felt to him. But that was ages ago; the couple had been dating for four months. Raven smiled inwardly as she caught Robin in the corner of her eye when he walked past her. He was wearing nothing but an undershirt and a pair of light blue boxers.

Robin reached up and pulled a box of cereal out of a cupboard and placed it on the table in front of Raven bringing her out of her sleepy daydream. He pulled the fridge's door open and got out milk. After preparing his cereal he sat across from Raven. Raven finally looked up from her cereal and looked more closely at Robin. His usually slicked back, black hair was messy and slightly wet. From his morning shower, she guessed. He had his usual mask covering his eyes, but she could still see that he had bags under his eyes. Every since that mask had that dust in it that made him see Slade in the dark, he had been determined to find Slade and hunt him down. Raven personally thought that Slade was not dead but gathering his strength and had a new apprentice somewhere that helped with the mask. But that was almost a month ago, and nothing had really happened since then. That still didn't mean that he was dead though.

The sliding door of the kitchen opened and the rest of the titans entered the kitchen. Starfire was explaining some Tamaran food dish. Beast Boy looked greener than usual. The 'happy' couple had not lasted long. After about their second date things started to turn for the worst, then when that blonde haired big blued eyed girl came their relationship shattered. Starfire could tell that she was no longer in his eyes, but Terra was. The night that they met Terra she broke up with Beast Boy. She knew that his reaction wasn't going to be him crying on the floor begging for her to take him back, but instead he nodded and she encouraged him and Terra. The second time she broke up with a titan because of another girl.

"Who wants eggs and bacon?" called Cyborg, taking large strides over to the fridge and opening the door, piled milk, eggs and bacon on the counter next to it.

3...2...1...Raven counted silently in her head.

"DUDE! Do you know what bacon is made of???"

"Um...pigs?"

Beast Boy collapsed into a chair. He sighed, "You really should think about changing your diet. You know that bacon was once a living, breathing thing!"

"Yeah... well... now it's cooking in the frying pan,"

Beast Boy got up and went over to the fridge and opened it up, "You should really try tofu it's not that-- ...Where'd my tofu go?" He got up and glared at Cy. "What?" he said putting up his hands in defense, "I wouldn't know anything about the tofu in the garbage,"

"Come, Beast Boy," Starfire said linking her arm with his, "I shall accompany you to the mall of shopping where we will find more fu of the toe!"

With that Starfire almost dragged him out the front door.

XXXXXXXX

Moonlight flowed through the dirty windows of the old warehouse. Machines were set up around large crates. The warehouse was set up somewhere out in the country close to some farmer market. But farmers weren't going to get in the way. The cat-like girl tried not to groan as she walked up the hard metal stairs into the upper level of the warehouse. She opened one of the offices. Instead of it being filled with a desk and chairs it had a futon in the corner and a punching bag in the middle of the room hanging from the ceiling. She closed the door quietly then walked sleepily over to the makeshift bed and collapsed. Her muscles ached and burned. Slade had been training her almost non-stop for the past week. With each passing day she grew stronger and faster. Slade said she needed to be fit if he was going to help her. She sighed into the flat pillow. She closed her eyes and curled into a ball of warmth, hoping sleep would greet her soon. A small noise of purring could be heard as she slipped into a light sleep.

BANG BANG BANG!

The cat-like girl's eyes opened wide and she leapt up on to all fours. She walked to the door and opened it. There stood Slade. His body was half in the dim light half in shadow giving him an eerie look. "I need you to do something for me..."
