"So your name's Terra?" Robin asked.

"Yeap" the girl gave a big smile.

"That was so cool! The way you smacked him in the face…dude." Beast Boy said as he praised the girl.

Terra laughed. "Thanks, you weren't so bad yourself."

Beast Boy blushed and scratched the back of his head.

"You were watching us fight?" Cyborg looked the girl over.

"Yeah, I kinda didn't want to butt in or anything but light boy was about to fry her." Terra said nodding at Starfire. "So you know…I thought you guys needed help."

Robin nodded "Thanks for your help."

"Yes, much thanks for saving me" Starfire smiled.

"No problem."

"So how exactly do you have powers?"

Terra rolled her eyes at the question. "Well duh I was born with them, I'm a super hero, like you guys." She smirked.

Starfire's eyes sparkled. "Wonderful! Do you have a team? Where do you live? Can we be friends?

"No…, I'm a wanderer and um sure?" Terra was surprised that Starfire wanted to be her friend even though they had just met.

"Hello new friend!" Starfire said as she grasped Terra in a bear hug.

"You don't have a home?" Robin asked.

"Don't need one, I live to meet people and to explore new places." Terra answered as she wriggled out of Starfire's strong grasp.

Starfire gasped. "Then you must come with us to our home."

"Well-"

"We have plenty of room!" Beast Boy said liking the idea of the girl staying with them. "Right Robin?" he gazed at their leader with big pleading eyes.

"Sure, we've got plenty of room."

"I was going to leave Jump City tonight and head to another city." Terra informed them. She then looked at Beast Boy and saw that his shoulders had slumped. She smiled, "But I can stay for a night or two"

"Glorious!"

Starfire and Beast Boy grabbed Terra by her hands and started to drag the poor girl towards the Titan Tower with Cyborg and Robin following behind.

Raven's hand glided across the wall as she walked along the dark corridor. Slade was somewhere in the building and she hadn't seen him since this morning when he had arrived in her room to tell her that the training session scheduled for today was cancelled. Hearing this she had instantly decided to explore the building which she called home.

"They're the H.I.V.E's top students."

Raven paused as she came to a room with the door ajar. She peered in to see who had spoken. She knew the voice wasn't Slade it was more feminine and as far as she knew only Slade and her lived in the building.

Inside the room Slade stood with his arms behind his back, a pose Raven had gotten used to seeing. Raven looked to the left and saw a woman with grey hair wearing a black suit with a strange golden hexagonal symbol on one sleeve standing not to far from Slade. Raven frowned. Who was this woman?

Slade turned his back to the woman. "The H.I.V.E Academy trains its students to fight against robots, I assure the Titans are not robots."

"Mr. Slade my students are the best, the Teen Titans won't stand a chance against Gizmo, Jinx and Mammoth" The woman said as she stepped aside.

Raven's eyes widened as three teenagers came into view. One happens to be very short boy dressed in a green jumpsuit with a pair of goggles resting on his bald head. On his chest is a square pad filled with buttons. Next to him stands a pale skinned girl with lavender hair wearing a black dress. On her feet she wears black and purple striped stocking along with her boots. She reminded Raven of herself. The most intimidating one stood at the back. He was huge and had shaggy brown hair and beard, he was obviously the oldest of the bunch.

"We shall see Headmistress" Slade says as he gazed at the three. "We shall see" he turns his head towards the door. "Come apprentice and meet your new teammates."

Raven is surprised that Slade knows that she is there but only pauses a moment before pushing the door fully open and walking into the room only stopping when she was next to Slade.

The Headmistress gasped eyes wide when she saw the girl whom Slade called his apprentice. "How..?" she choked out.

Raven eyed the woman. Just what was her problem?

Slade glared at the woman icily and she immediately stopped staring at Raven. "They will be joining you on your missions." He gestured to the three teenagers who were staring at her through ice cold eyes. He then turned back to the Headmistress. "You are not needed here anymore."

The woman nodded numbly and stiffly walked into the darkness of the room. There was a loud squeak then a click. There was obviously another entrance to the room.

"I will leave you all to bond." Slade said then walked out of the room.

Raven stared at the group of teenagers and they stared back. It was an uneasy silence.

Gizmo leaned closer to his two partners. "Isn't she a Titan?" he whispered.

Raven frowned as she saw Gizmo whispering to his friends.

Jinx noticed this and glared at Gizmo before walking closer to Raven. "I'm Jinx" she grinned at Raven. "That's Gizmo…" she continued as she nodded at the short teenager. "And he's Mammoth." The largest of the group nodded.

"Raven."

Maybe she's undercover or something Jinx thought. "So exactly how did you become Slade's apprentice?"

Raven looked off to the side. "Slade found me when I was very sick and well he's been taking care of me ever since. He's the only one with the medicine to help me." She said recalling the story that Slade had told her when she had awoken in his care.

Gizmo snickered.

Jinx shot a glance at him and Mammoth hit the tiny villain on the head. It was all clear to them now. They all eyed the golden circular device around the girls head.

Slade had probably captured Raven, erased her memories and filled her head with lies and even now he was still drugging her.

"Where's all the food?" Mammoth asked changing the subject.

"Uh...follow me." Raven murmured as she turned and began to walk away.

The H.I.V.E members looked at each other and grinned before following her. This was most interesting a Teen Titan working for Slade.

"Cool place." Terra's eyes lit up as Beast Boy and Starfire led her into the Tower's Rec Room.

"Not as cool as you," Beast Boy said with a smile.

Terra smiled back.

"This is where we do much of the couch potato-ing"

"It's also where I beat Cyborg at every Game Station game ever invented." Beast Boy puffed out his chest in pride.

"Yeah, it's also where you cheat to win every Game Station game ever invented." Cyborg teased him as he and Robin walked into the room.

Beast Boy's chest deflated. "I do not cheat!"

"Uh-huh." Cyborg laughed. He hadn't laughed like that since Raven disappeared, it felt nice.

Terra tried to hide to muffle her laughter with her hand.

"And this is where we keep all of our green food, it does not taste very nice and the hair tickles you tongue…"

"I so do not cheat! I can beat you any day, anywhere, anytime!"

"Is that a challenge?"

Robin smiled at how his team was behaving. It was good to see all of them happy again, to think it was all because of this girl, Terra. He looked at her, maybe they should keep her around, and they were missing a member. His thoughts drifted to Raven as he continued to look at Terra.

"So how do you like your new teammates?" Slade asked coolly as he walked into the small room where Raven sat floating a few inches above a bed, meditating. She hadn't remembered much about her life but he had told her whenever she felt a sudden wave of emotion coming over her she should meditate to calm her nerves. He couldn't have her losing control.

Raven opened her eyes and descending unto the bed. "They're fine." She still felt funny about the way the Headmistress was staring at her.

"I brought you a little present." Slade dumped a box next to her.

Raven looked at it curiously before her hands lifted the cover. Inside the box was a black garment and several other items.

"A new suit, put it on." Slade ordered.

Raven took the garment out of the box and held it in her hand ready to put it on. However, she noticed that Slade made no movements to leave the room and blushed ever so lightly.

Slade noticed her discomfort and turned around. He could hear the rustling of clothes as she removed her old outfit and replaced it with the new one. When the rustling noise stopped he turned back to face her. "Perfect." He smirked admiring how the outfit enhanced the curves of her hips and breast.

Raven caught Slade staring at her cheeks got red and she looked down at herself. It was a simple outfit consisting of a black top which ended just below her breast and black pants which looked more like the bottom of a leotard. The only things remaining from her old outfit were the blue cuffs with the red orbs which she wore on her wrists, the red orbs which were connected together and used as a belt which circled around her tiny waist and her boots. Too much skin…I look like Starfire…Her eyes widened a bit. Why the hell had she just mentioned that girl's name? She was the enemy!

"Training starts in an hour." Slade cold voice cut through her thoughts and she looked at him hesitantly the pale color returning to her cheeks.

"Of course" It amazed her how Slade could go from staring at her that way to the cold villain routine in mere seconds.

He paused briefly, narrowing his eye as he looked at her through his mask. Then without another word he walked out of the room, the door sliding shut behind him leaving Raven alone.

She breathed a sigh of relief and sat on the edge of the bed. She didn't know why but her teacher made her feel uncomfortable in many ways. The way his voice sounded and the way he looked at her from behind that mask gave her the shivers.

Raven got up and walked to the only mirror in the room to assess herself some more. Upon seeing her reflection she quickly decided to keep her hooded cape, it made her feel less naked.

Her mind drifted to her thoughts early about Starfire as she clipped on her cape using the red orb. Just why had she thought about the girl? It seemed so random. She was getting a headache just thinking about it! Vaguely she rubbed her temple and her hand touched a metal ring around her head. Her lips pursed together, Slade had said that this thing would help her control her powers better but it still felt so strange up there.

Raven sighed, she only had a few more minutes before training started and she wouldn't waste precious meditation time pondering over the enemy. She sat in the center of the bed with her legs folded and closed her eyes clearing her mind of all thoughts about Slade, the new acquirements to the team and the Teen Titans.

Slade's growled in frustration. What the hell was wrong with him? Every time he got near to the girl his body ached emotionally and emotions were something he didn't like. He held up his head and started at his reflection in the mirror.

It showed a man who looked to be about in his twenties with short silvery locks falling into his face. What was even more intriguing about the villain was the scarred pink flesh which covered his eye and reached down his cheek on one side of his face.

"Damn!" he cursed and smashed his fist into the mirror causing it to shatter. Slade took deep breaths before he grabbed the mask which rested in front of him on the sink. He regained his stoic composure as the mask slipped back on his face easily. He would not let his emotions cloud his judgment. Raven was a mere child, a child he would use to gain the power that he wanted. Slade smirked evilly.
