Review response:

finalitylife – Finally! Someone reveiws. Thank you. About the massive amount of characters and all, I'm going to post pages with character info to help with the confusion. I appoligize for rushing the story, but I don't have Microsoft Word and I've got to deal with OpenOffice, which is extreamly anoying. I'll try to pace the story more. And, the thing with the Joker won't seem so pety latr on in the story.

Disclaimer: I don't own the Teen Titans or any DC character. I don't own Mega Man or his friends, but apparently Cadmus does. However, I do own Ghost Blade, Spirit Fire and Soul Drive.

Note: I hit a road block at this chapter and did the best I could, if you have any citisisume at all, please review.

Ch 14. The Good Old Days

Red X stood where, only a day ago, the Mad Hatter had been standing. She was looking down on Titans East Tower, which, to her, seemed more like a fortress because of it being on the side of a cliff.

Jason had told her several things about this place. City, tower and people here alike. One topic that had come up enough tims was that of his encounter with Superboy. In every way the same as Superman, except two things. He was sixteen and narrowminded.

One thing kept nagging at her. Valere. Why did he never talk about his expirience fighting Suprboy? In fact, why did he never talk about his past at all? Why did he send her here? Why...

Why did it matter to her now?

Red X looked over at Mammoth and the Raven look alike. Mammoth was thinking of a way to get down to the tower, obviusly having forgoten that Mirror had coped Raven's powers aswell as her looks. Mirror never said a word.

"What are you doing here?" There was anger in the voice. Red X turned around slowly to look at the man she assumed went by the name Speedy. A look of confusion crossed his face as he lowered his cocked bow a little. "You're a woman?"

"What?" She placed more surprise in her voice then anger. "You couldn't tell from behind?"

Red X spun back towards Mammoth as he yeld out in surprise. Superboy had lifted Mammoth off the ground by the back of his neck.

The one called Aqualad approached Mirror. "Are you alright, Raven?" She just looked at him blankly. "Raven?"

Superboy looked down at Mammoth. "What did you do to her?" He yelled.

"You don't understand. Bring us to..." Mammath was cut off.

"Maybe I should just thrown you over the cliff. Maybe then you'll stay extinct." Superboy had turned red. He was about to do it when Miror's arm shot towards Superboy.

"Don't do it." Mammoth yelled to her. He looked up to Superboy. "Just bring us to the tower and we'll explain."

"Why?" Superboy seemed to have no controll over his anger and Red X just hoped he didn't see her.

"Let's just do it." Speedy said from behind her.

Aqualad looked at the Raven look alike again. "It would be for the best."

"WHAT?" Superboy seemed to have just exploded.

Aqualad pointed at him. "You will calm down right now." He said in a stern voice. "I am second in command and you will follow my orders. They're coming to the tower."

"So," Bumble Bee started, "is that Raven or is something wrong with her?"

"It's not." Mammoth answered. He turned to Mirror. "Drop the illusion."

Mirror instanly resumed her own appearance. Her crimson dress, black hair, grey, misty eyes and blank expression, unsettled everyone in the room, except Mammoth.

"Why are you here?" Bumble Bee asked Mirror.

"To show Slade two Ravens and hopfully confuse him." Mammoth replied.

Superboy's expression darkened. "She didn't ask you."

"Too bad." Mammoth shot at Superboy. "Mirror doesn't talk."

"She's mute?" Speedy questioed with consern.

Mammoth shook his head. "She refuses to talk to anyone, but me." He sighed. "Sometimes it's a pain in the butt."

Mirror shot Mammoth a death glare. "That's one thing she didn't need form Raven." Superboy said.

"What about you?" Aqualad asked Red X.

"I'm here for the same reason." She replied.

Superboy turned his glare on her. "Not what he meant. The suit?"

Red X reached up and pulled off her mask. There was no point in hiding her identiy from them if she was going to be living here. Speedy let out a low whistle. "I kept it from it's previous owner and then he got arrested. As far as either of us care, it's mine now." She knew she was going to be warring with him her entire stay.

"You guys can stay, but..." Bumble bee was saying, but Mary wasn't paying attension. She was watching Speedy out of the corner of her eye. He was looking her over.

He thought she was sexy and it was making her hot.

Etana opened the diner door and walked over to a booth in the corner of the establishment. She was disturbed by Deathstrokes actions lately. Even since the burning incident, he'd been acting weird and pushing her away. She longed for their earlier days again.

She had first met the mercinary, Deathstroke, five years ago, when she was seventeen and on her first bounty hunting mission. They had both been hunting down the same man for different reasons and had teamed up, mostly because she knew the target's whereabouts and Deathstroke had the skills to take him down.

Ever since then, they had always worked together, helping each other out with their missions. She had quickly developed the skills he tought her and some he never had, but she still couldn't match up to him in a fight. She was, however, far better at gathering intelligence.

Over the years she had fallen in love with him, but she knew it couldn't work out, the fact she was a baby when he was in his late twenties is enough to turn off most respectful men. And, there was also the incident of his last son dieing partially being her fault.

Johnathon of Cadmus, the man Etana had been waiting for, entered the diner just then. He hastly walked towards her and sat down across from her. "You had better have a good reason for calling me out, I was about to make a brake though with the reploids."

Etana pulled out a picture and handed it to her companion, he didn't look at it. "I need to find this girl for me."

"After all thse years, you want me to do something as trivial as..." He stopped speaking immediately after looking at the picture. "We just recruited her."

Etana looked at him in surprise. "You're serious?" All Jonathon did was nod. "Well, now all hat has to be done is to get close to her."

Jonathon returned the picture. "I might be able to get you in as a new guard, but It'll take some time." He looked her in the eyes. "Tell me, Pat, why are you interested in her?"

"My present employer beleives she's worth protecting." Etana leaned back in her seat.

Jonathon cocked an eyebrow. "I thought you were a bounty hunter."

Etana chuckled a little. "Tell me about it." She then gave him a minor glare. "How many times do I have to tell you not to call me by my old name. My name is Etana now and that's not going to change."

"Took you long enoungh." He got up. "I've got to get back now. Give me a call in a few days and I should hav everything setup." He got a few steps to the door before turning back around. "You're not on a deadline or anything, are you?"

"No." Etana shook her head. "Just keep her safe for now."

As Jonathon left, Etana sighed. She wasn't looking forward to seeing Amanda Waller again, but she'ld deal with it if it meant she could protect the girl named Spirit Fire.
