Krimson: You guys are back quick! (She is playing chess against Iris. Iris is looking smug)
Cy: Yeah, well...
Krimson: Did you get the bad guy? (The Titans exchange a glace) Guess that means no...
Iris: So what happened? (Smirks) You don't look beat up!
Robin: She kinda... Ran away.
Iris: She?
Star: The person attempting to steal the Makino Diamond.
Iris: (Breathes in sharply, then speaks as though she has memorised the words from a script) The Makino Diamond! Who would want to steal that?
Cy: Raven, apparently. (gloomily)
Iris: What has she got to do with time- I mean, travelling between worlds?
BB: What do you mean?
Iris: The Makino Diamond was created in a place called Azerath, so that those worthy of protection could use it to travel there. Only, it was flawed, so others, unworthy others, can travel to other places...
Robin: How do you know so much? (He and Cy are on guard)
Iris: Uh... (Can't remember the line) I...
Krimson: (Coming to her rescue) It's okay Eis, you don't need to think about it. (Steps in front of her and speaks as though Iris is out of earshot) It's her grandmother. She was taken somewhere by the stone.
Iris: (covering her face and pretending to cry) Granny...
Krimson: Hey, it's okay Eis!
Cy: Uh... You should take her to her room...
(Krimson nods and leads Iris out of the door)
Star: Wasn't Raven born in a place called Azerath?
Robin: Do we believe them? I mean, we've known them for two days. Who knows what they're up to, or why they're here?
Cy: We should probably talk to Rei before assuming anything. I know who I trust.
BB: Enough chat! Where is she?
Raven: (Appears in doorway) Where's who?
&&&
(Iris and Krimson stand behind the door, eavesdropping)
Iris: Heh... They bought it, hook, line and sinker.
Krimson: I really thought that you were crying!
Iris: They're already convinced, and they'll link motive with my little half-truth story and when Koriand'r said that...
Krimson: Soon it'll all come out and after they reject her then our future will be fixed again!
Iris: Minus one Titan.
Krimson: Maybe we could wait until after...
Iris: No! After that, then this plan'll never work... I guess we have to make some sacrifices.
Krimson: James wouldn't say that, I'll bet.
Iris: (blushes) Don't remind me. If he knew, he'd have locked us into the cellar.
Krimson: No he wouldn't.
Iris: How'd ya figure?
Krimson: Well, lately the cellar has been like an exploding volcano, thanks to Pyro.
Iris: Good point.

Raven: So what did you want to take to me about?
Robin: (sighs) Where were you about 10 minutes ago?
Raven: In my room?
Cy: You sure?
Raven: Uh-huh... What's this about, guys?
Robin: Did you hear the alarm?
Raven: Uh-huh, but I hadn't finished meditation, so I would have been more dangerous than helpful.
BB: You weren't in your room; you were in the Bank Warehouse, tryin' to steal the stupid diamond thingy... (Trails off and just glares at her)
Raven: What?
Robin: Beast Boy...
BB: How do you explain this! (Takes the cloak from behind his back and throws it into her lap) Huh?
Raven: (Picks it up) Explain what?
BB: The thief was wearing it, and then she phased through the floor! It's your cloak, and your power. Explain!
Raven: Item 'A': This isn't my cloak.
BB: It isn't? (?)
Raven: (shakes head) And Item 'B': I'm not the only one with telekinetic powers.
