The Titans were absolutely silent as if life in itself depended on it. They hadn't moved since Beast Boy made his speech. Neither of them had uttered a word either. Terra had betrayed them, siding with Slade and being their friend only for the sake of access to the security. Now here was Raven, siding with a man whom they hadn't even heard of. "You may call me Malicki, it'll be a name you'll remember." Malicki...how had Raven met him? Were they meeting secretly?
These questions kept finding themselves repeating in Robin's mind. He was still in shock. And he knew Raven liked fighting them, he had seen her smile. Who was Malicki? What was he doing to her?
Cyborg was doing the background research, first trying to find out how to spell his name, then looking through criminal records. So far he had found nothing. Of course he had given up right away to go repair his arm and left Starfire and Beast Boy trying to understand how the search base worked.
"Beast Boy?" Starfire said quietly to her green friend as she hovered by the computer. He only grunted in response, a sign that he was indeed listening, but didn't want to talk. "Why was Raven acting strange before she disappeared earlier?"
"What?" He focused his attention on the alien.
"You were saying that she was testing us and that she was trying to be noticed. You said we failed the test."
"We did," he said monotony.
"Why?"
"What?"
Starfire locked eyes with him. She fiddled with her fingers, "Why was she testing us?"
Beast Boy opened his mouth to say the answer, but no words came out. He didn't know. Why was Raven testing them? Had they done something wrong? She was acting strange and came down abruptly from the rooftop. What had happened up there? Had Raven let Malicki in and they met on the roof? But only Cyborg and Robin knew the code. Malicki gotten past security and done something to Raven behind their backs?
He turned away from Starfire and ran up the stairs into Cyborg's room. The robotic man nearly chopped his hand off when his friend came running in. "Security..." he was trying to say. "Is there anything wrong with the security?"
"No," Cyborg told him bluntly, "No one can get past my security. Not even..."
The shifter interrupted him, "Not even a pyromaniac guy?"
"Not even a pyromaniac guy," he repeated. "Here I'll show you," he gestured to a bunch of cameras. "Security's fine."
Beast Boy wasn't satisfied, he kept looked over and over at the screens. "Where's the roof?" He asked. The screen that was showing the roof could not be seen.
"It's fine, I didn't have enough screens, so I just flip them back and forth."
"Flip it!"
Cyborg was confused, what did this have to do with anything? Sighing, he did what he was told and flipped a switch. The screens turned to different parts of the Tower. All of them were fine...except one.
"Which one is this?" he asked pointing to a screen that only showed static.
Cyborg swallowed and Beast Boy knew the answer. "The roof."
