Disclaimer: I do not own the Teen Titans or any villains affiliated with them. I only own my characters, which are as follows: Wicca (Kali), Delusion (Dylanne), Cronos (Finn). Those are the ones in this chapter. I accept flames about MY STORY, not the topic. Thank you, dirty-witch, for bringing this problem to my attention oh-so-gracefully.

About forty-five minutes later, the doors to the conference room slid open. Delusion, who had been waiting outside, very bored, got to her feet. Kali emerged a moment later, hood up, concealing her face from her friend. She began to walk away the moment the doors closed, and Delusion scurried after her.

"So what happened?" the illusionist questioned. "You were sure in there a long time." Kali lowered her hood and exhaled shakily. She looked over at Delusion with an anxious expression on her face.

"I felt like they were interrogating me, Dill," she said, "like I was a…a mouse in their trap, like I had info that they were trying to get out me." Kali shuddered. "It's like they know I'm hiding something from them." Delusion frowned.

"They weren't like that with us," she said worriedly. "Maybe it's…maybe…" she stopped. "Uggh, I don't know why they'd do that. They were nice to us." Kali shook her head.

"I think Nightwing thinks I've got something to do with the whole Raven-Trigon thing. The strongest feeling I got from him was suspicion. Suspicion that I was…" Kali shuddered again. Delusion put a hand on her best friend's shoulder.

"That you were what?" she wanted to know, concern chief in her voice.

"That I was…something bad," Kali whispered. "Maybe evil." Delusion hugged her friend around the shoulders.

"Well, the important thing is that we know you aren't. In time, they'll see that you're an awesome person, too." Kali smiled weakly and hugged Delusion back.

"Thanks. But something else creeped me out, Dill. I've never felt Grandma so distant before. It's like she…like she's trying to see something bad in me." There was a distressed tone in the teenager's voice. "Dylanne, she doesn't trust me. You have no idea how much that hurts!"

"Well, keep in mind that she doesn't know who you are, Kali," Delusion reminded, still keeping an arm around Kali's shoulders. "I mean, she doesn't know you."

The last four words hit Kali like a ton of bricks, a racecar, and four semis. Even before their soul-selves had integrated, grandparent and grandchild had been close. Their bond had grown even more after the incident. Raven had been the chief comfort after Kali's parents had died. She'd taught her granddaughter control over her power. She had opened up with Kali and had shown the girl a side no one but Garfield (A/N: That's Beast Boy) had ever seen before. There had never been a time where Raven hadn't known or trusted Kali. Except for now.

Kali, for once, had nothing to say. She was finally realizing the magnitude of what this meant. She had lost the principal comfort in her life, and there was nothing she could do about it. Not without messing up the future very, very badly.

Over the next few days, Kali, Delusion, and Cronos stayed in Titans Tower. Neither team trusted the other completely. Because of their age and "inexperience", Nightwing wouldn't let them help with missions. So, basically, after a while, the group began to get a very bad case of cabin fever. Patience was stretched to the limit, especially for Kali. Changeling kept telling very corny jokes and hounding her to get her to tell him her name. Through clenched teeth and with a forced calm, she had told him that, if he could guess what her initials stood for, she'd tell him anything he wanted to know. Wally had been calling her 'Witch' despite her frequent requests that he did not. Nightwing and Cyborg watched her with critical eyes, as if daring her to do something they didn't approve of.

Cronos felt as if he was being treated as if he was four, and a permanent glower was plastered on his face. Wally and Changeling both called Delusion 'Penguin', which infuriated her to the point where, when you looked at her, you saw the air around her eddy and waver as her powers, normally very easily kept under control, leaked out all around her.

Troia and Kori were really the only ones who spoke to them without some degree of distaste or mistrust in their voices. Speedy, Jericho, and Raven just didn't speak.

Tempers became more and more frayed as the days wore on, and for all, snapping was imminent.

Well, an insanely short chapter for me. It's not my best work. As you can see, I'm trying to avoid having the actual Titans speak. I'm not very good at doing their voices, as you can see in previous chapters. Oh, well. Please review. Oreos for all who do.

Peace and Oreos, Onyx
