Sorry 'bout the slow update. Lately I haven't been in the 'writing mood'. I know what I want to write but it doesn't sound right whenI type it. So the next few chapters may take a little longer.

Anyways, enjoy,

CHAPTER 4

Hello Strangers

"Damn it!" Robin's fist came down hard on the kitchen table. The rest of the titans jumped. "Damn it! Damn it! DAMN IT!" He ran a gloved hand through his hair.

"Robin," Raven's quiet voice soothed them, "What is done is done, we can not change it so stop killing your self over it and help us come up with a plan."

"I guess…your right," He sighed and sat down at the table with the rest of the titans. "I bet that girl was Slade apprentice and I bet she was the one that set off the mask," Robin muttered to himself. "Calm down," Raven said again placing a hand on his shoulder, Robin's shoulders dropped and looked over at Raven, "Sorry," he quietly said so only Raven could hear them.

"I think Slade is planning something big," Raven said pulling her gaze away from Robin, "Think about it: Slade got hurt with the battle with Terra, he gets an apprentice to help heal him then they plan something big-"

"Dude Slade could send another attack on T tower!"

"Friends, I believe we are in great danger!"

"DUDE!!! HE'S USING MUTANT CATS TO RULE THE WORLD AND WE'RE THE FIRST TO GO!!!!"

Everyone turned at Beast Boy, "What? It could happen!" Everyone looked away and rolled their eyes.

"Look! We have to hunt her down so she'll bring us to Slade then we'll bring him down," Robin said standing up again.

"Robin, man. Don't go all crazy on us again, we have to find out what Slade's planning before we do anything. Man, we don't even know where they're hiding. It would be stupid to go back to his old layer. It would be even stupider to find him there andget into a trap," Cyborg said.

"Well, the girl of the cat did inquire a computer chip in the breaking in. Perhaps it has something to do with a computer?" Starfire asked. "It's a start but we don't know quite what he's planning…" Robin said drifting off in thought.

Sarah walked down the dark street. Chains attached to her black mini-skirt jingling slightly. She breathed in the early summer air. The darkness and coolness of the night washed over her body. Finally she had reached her destination: a small café called 'Dark Souls Café'.

She pushed open the door and the soft jingling of the bells over the door softy rang telling inhabits that another had arrived. Sarah made her way past the dimly lit small tables over to the unfortunately dry bar. The owner was behind the bar tonight, dressed in a dark green sports coat and slacks that looked a bit to loose on him and slightly wrinkled. "Hey Sarah. What'll it be tonight?"

"Just a coke, Arthur," Sarah replied sitting down on a bar stool. "Coming right up," He said turning around and kneeling down and opening the door of a small metal mini-fridge and pulling out a old fashioned coke bottle. He placed it on the counter in front of Sarah and got a glass. He used a bottle opener to open the bottle and poured half of it into the glass.

Sarah slumped slightly in the stool and took a sip. The ringing of the bell over top of the door jingled softly, but Sarah didn't bother turning around to see if she knew the person. Though it didn't really matter since she heard the two people's soft voices traveling in her direction. A young woman and young man sat down beside her.

She turned her head slightly to the side looking at the couple. The young woman looked around twenty or so and had bright neon blue spiked hair with earrings all down her ears and a small stud in her nose. And Sarah noticed part of a tattoo on the back of her neck.

The man also looked in his late teens. He looked hot and mysterious. She couldn't see his whole face because his raven black hair in the way. Even looking at his upper torso covered by a black shirt she could tell he was muscular.

"What will it be tonight folks?" asked Arthur, greeting the couple. "We'll have two cokes," the female said. Arthur nodded and started getting two cokes out.

"Hey, you," said the female said turning to Sarah. Sarah looked over at her, "Yeah?" She asked. "Know any cheap places around here to stay the night?" The female asked after taking a sip of the coke in front of her. "Um…" Sarah paused for a second, "About two stoplights down from here there's a small motel called 'Honeymoon Motel'. It's alright if you don't think about who's the last one to use the sheets," Sarah replied remembering the nights she sometimes spent there when she didn't want to go home. The female chuckled slightly, "Name's Keara," said the spiky haired girl, "He's Mike," Keara said jerking her thumb back at the man sitting beside her.

He turned his head looking at Sarah. Finally she was able to get a good look at his face, he looked sickly pale. His bright blue eyes had some weird hypnotic feature that made her almost forget her name, age, past and even species. Finally she broke out of the stare, "Name's Sarah," she said quickly, "Do I know you?" she turned her attention back to Mike. His eyes seemed to glow green for a minute and Sarah forgot who she was again, "I don't think so," he said in a low voice. She rubbed her forehead and took another look at him.

Now that I look at him again he looks nothing like that guy Raven was with a couple of months ago. I was drunk, you can't really expect yourself to remember anything. I wonder what happened to him though… I do remember that he was hot! Sarah grinned inwardly.

"I guess your right, then…" Sarah trailed off and took another sip of her coke, "So… what-cha two doing in Jump City…?"
