For a few days things were uneventful at the tower. Well, less eventful than usual anyway. Raven found some flowers outside her bedroom door that were a beautiful shade of deep purple and had a strip of red on the tips of them. She hung them upside-down so they would be preserved. Every night she fell asleep looking at them. There had been a note that read:
"Raven,
Face fair as the evening sky,
Lips as red and beautiful as a rose,
Whose beauty holds her above the rest,
As my love for you only grows.
Your secret love"
She was in shock that someone loved her. Love. She remembered it. Malchior. She had opened her heart to him and he had taken it. Taken it and dropped it on the ground. Could she let herself be open again? Her mind and heart were full of questions. And her emotions had plenty to say about it.

Starfire and Robin could most commonly be found sitting together on the roof. Star understood better than any titan how it felt to have a sibling turn against her. She would sit and listen as Robin told her how worried and confused he was. She would offer support when he felt like he couldn't make it through having to confront Slade again. But most often she just leaned her head against Robin's shoulder as he leaned against her and they both looked out over the vast ocean.

Cyborg spent almost all of his time tracking Slade. He now had a slight advantage. He now knew who Slade was. He was Robin's brother, Jay. He was able to pinpoint his location. When Robin was ready to fight, he was ready to guide him.

BB spent an unusual amount of time in his room. He was busy trying to make his thoughts sound like they were coming from someone else and pouring his emotions out into rhymes. He wrote beautiful love poems for the perfect being that he had admired for so long. Raven, Raven, soft wings in the night, Sweet bird who takes my heart and runs with it, Simple beauty masked from the world, Why is it my love I will not admit? Kind of cheesey, but it said what he felt all the same. He had paused before leaving the flowers outside her door. Was this betraying Terra? Terra's gone. He knew it was true. He had determined his future right then. Right at that moment he had left the carefully dyed roses at her room. Terra was gone.

The day finally came that the alarm rang.
"It's him," Cyborg said, looking up from the computer.
"Let's go." Robin didn't hesitate for a single moment. They ran to the T-car and headed out. They arrived in the desert where they had first met Terra. There was a huge metal dome in the middle of it. Raven was unsure. Would Robin be able to fight Slade now that he knew who he was? She looked at him and he nodded. This wasn't going to be the normal fight with Slade.
They burst through the entrance.
"Ah, titans, I was wondering when I'd see you again," Slade said tauntingly, turning to face them.
"Alright Jay, give it up, we know who you are," Robin said much more confidently then he felt. Starfire stood next to him and touched his arm for support. He relaxed just the smallest bit knowing she was there.
"Jay? Oh Robin, I thought you were smarter than that! Jay was a good boy. He wouldn't go against you like this. We both know that. No, no, I'm not Jay, and I'm insulted you'd even think that."
"No," Robin whispered.
"Yes," Slade smirked, walking toward them, "Jay was a wimp. I could have told you from the day I could speak that he would never amount to anything. He would never become known for anything. He would never prove everyone wrong. He would never defeat the Teen Titans, well, almost defeat the Teen Titans." Tears were starting to slip from under Robin's mask. He ahd to cling to Starfire for support. Slade walked up, pushed Star aside, and grabbed Robin by the front of the uniform. Robin tried to avoid his eyes. Cyborg raised his sonic cannon and Raven's eyes glowed black. Star hovered a few feet above the ground, green orbs around her hands. Slade reached for the corner of Robin's mask. "Before I tell you who I am, let's see who you are." Hhe pulled the mask off to reveal pale blue eyes that were glistening with tears. "I know who you are as do you. But do they?" Slade smirked and dropped robin to the ground where he saw his reflection staring back at him. "Now, doyouwant know who I am." He removed the mask.


Bwahahahahahahahaha! I stop now and you know nothing! I shall try to update very soon so no one dies from suspense.
