I could not wait to put up my next chapter, so here it is!To all you BB/Rae fans, I'm sorry, but there aren't any romances in this one. That's the bad news! The thing is, I wrote this story before Imade an account on this site, so I'm sticking to it. Sorry.The good news is that I'm making a BB/Rae fanfic series called Mending A Heart. The first book in the short series is called A Broken Heart. The series is for all you BB/Rae fans, and like the BB/Rae relationship, things might go slowly throughout the books and the first book is probably not that fluffy, but please read. It will be out soon!

Review:

RegremErutarec: Yeah, they were out of character, but I wanted to have a little fun out of that chapter. Not very believable, I know, but still...anyway, thanks for the review and later on, you can read A Broken Heart once I put it out, that is.

(I know, it's only one, but like I said, I couldn't wait!)


CHAPTER 3

At the Titans East, things weren't going so smoothly.

"Hey, are you guys gonna sit on your lazy butts and do nothing?" Bumblebee asked. She and Aqualad were fixing up a new security system, but Speedy was eating pizza and the two Mexican boys, Mas and Menos were playing Game Station 2.

"Sounds like a plan," Speedy said with his mouth full of pizza. Bumblebee glared at him for a moment and picked up a bunch of heavy wooden boards.

"Go! Go! Go!" they shouted together, their eyes were glued to the screen. The doorbell rang.

"Speedy, why don't you do some 'thin useful and get the door?" Bumblebee asked.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah," Speedy mumbled as he walked to the door. A fisherman was at the door.

"Who are you?" Speedy asked.

"Hi-ya, you look like a strong man who would like some fine dining!" the fisherman said, ignoring Speedy's question.

"Uh…" Speedy lifted his finger to say something, but the fisherman didn't let him have a chance.

"Yep, that's what I thought. Here ya go! Oh, and I'll take this!" The fisherman pulled out a bundle of fish and shoved it into Speedy's arms. He took Speedy's wallet, took out forty dollars and shut the door as quick as lightning.

"Oookay," Speedy said as he put the fish down onto the table.

"What…Is…That!" Aqualad asked boomingly as he turned around.

"Uh, fish?" Speedy said nervously.

"How could you buy that dead fish! You know I'm from the ocean!" Aqualad shouted.

"Aqualad, cool it! We'll get rid of the fish," Bumblebee said, her arms were still full of boards. Aqualad starting to blow and he broke out into shouting at Speedy.
Mas and Menos had turned the volume up to maximum and the doorbell was ringing again.

"Someone get the stink 'in door!" Bumblebee screamed. She wasn't heard, so she dropped the boards and walked towards the door mumbling about why she didn't ask for another girl on her team. "WHAT!" she shouted. The Titans were practically blown away by the noise level in the tower.

"Uh, hey, Bee," Cyborg said nervously.

"Oh, sorry Sparky, but these guys are a real handful," Bumblebee said tiredly.

"Playing Mother again?" Cyborg asked.

"Very funny, you try to live with these 'kids' and see what its like," Bumblebee said, she made finger motions when she said 'kids'.

"Hey, Cyborg, what brings you and the Titans here?" Aqualad asked, forgetting about the fish. Speedy breathed deeply, he was glad that Aqualad stopped yelling.

"Senor Cyborg!" Mas and Menos shouted as they zipped forward.

"Hey, guys," Cyborg smiled.

"Hey, who're your friends?" Bumblebee asked, seeing Aang, Katara and Sokka.

"It's a long story," Raven said.

"Yeah, you'd better sit down," Beast Boy agreed.

After a few minutes of explanations and therapy, the Titans East understood the whole Aang, Katara and Sokka being sent into the future thing.

"Wild," Speedy said.

"So, what can we do to help?" Aqualad asked.

"If we all go against Slade and Zuko, then I'm sure we can win," Robin said.

"I, for one, think that Slade's losing his touch. From what you guys used to tell us about him, he doesn't seem much of a threat after the escaping thing," Bumblebee remarked.

"Does that mean you will assist us?" Starfire asked hopefully.

"Sure, there isn't anything better to do anyway," Speedy said.

"Great, now if you guys would just help us pay for the damage in our tower…" Beast Boy started.

"Hey, we said we'd help, don't push it," Bumblebee said.

"What's the plan?" Aang asked.

"Well…" Robin was interrupted by yet another crash. It came from the door.

"The plan is for you all to surrender!" said a voice.

"No way, I though you were in jail!" Cyborg shouted in disbelief as the smoke and debris cleared.

"Why didn't you guys help me with the security system, why!" Bumblebee shouted wearing an I-told-you-so look. Slade and Zuko were standing in the giant hole, but they weren't the only ones.

"We thought we'd bring a couple friends," Slade said sinisterly. Blackfire, Brother Blood and Jinx were there too.

Raven narrowed her eyes as she said "Jinx." Raven disliked Jinx almost as much as she didn't like Slade.

"Raven, long time no see. Though it looks like you haven't changed your unfashionable clothes. I suggest you wear something that isn't blue," Jinx smirked.

"Blackfire, you have escaped from jail once again!" Starfire cried as she started to rise, her eyes turning bright green.

"Blood," Cyborg growled.

"Cyborg, if I am correct, then that's three schools you owe me," Brother Blood frowned.

"No fair, everyone has an arch enemy but me! Couldn't you at least have gotten Adonis or something!" Beast Boy whined.

"Or something," Raven muttered loud enough for everyone to here.

"Titans, go!" Robin and Bumblebee called at the same time. The friends sprang into action. Cyborg and the Titans east took on Blood and his army of cheap imitations of Cyborg (Cybots) that had appeared through the hole. Raven fought Jinx and

Starfire battled with Blackfire. Robin and Beast Boy were against Zuko and his crew while Aang, Katara and Sokka tried their luck on Slade.

Got to find water, Katara thought. Katara spotted Aqualad's pool and started to get into position for the Water Whip.

"Not so tough, are you?" Slade said menacingly. Aang was on the ground, half unconscious. Slade's arms were smoking, ready to attack. Katara rapidly tried to finish the steps. Slade was about to fire, his eye was blazing and he started to glow. Katara sung her arms, and sparkling blue glowing water snaked out of the pool, it snapped at Slade, hitting him hard and pushing him onto the ground. Katara quickly put the water back.

"Why you little…" Slade growled, his mask dripping water. He started towards her. Katara was worried, she started to run. Slade got his arms fired up and threw flames at her. She swiftly dodged the attacks.

"Get away from my sister!" Sokka ordered as he threw a boomerang at Slade. It hit Slade hard on the back of his head, knocking him unconscious on the floor of the roof.

"Nice shot, Sokka," Aang said, getting up.

"There are too many!" Aqualad breathed as he blasted more water from the pipes in the wall.

"I'm starting to break a sweat!" Speedy panted. He was shooting three arrows at a time at super speed. The team was fighting in the Evidence Room.

"Ai!" Mas and Menos agreed as they punched and kicked the Cybots while running.

"Ugh, I think you guys are right," Bumblebee groaned.

"Hang in there, team, if we get to Blood, we can make these robots stop! And no running away this time," Cyborg added.

"You haven't gotten any stronger, baby sister," Blackfire said as she put Starfire in a headlock in the air. The siblings were fighting in the hallway.

"I am strong enough to defeat you!" Starfire yelled. She twisted her way out of Blackfire's grasp and shot her eyebeams.

The lines of green hit Blackfire and she fell to the ground.

"Hmph! I was beginning to think that you wouldn't put up much of a fight," Blackfire said as she dusted herself off. She flew into the air, her hands glowing purple. Starfire's hands glowed bright green, they shot each other at the same time. SHING!

"You fight like a boy," Jinx said.

"Takes one to know one," Raven shot back. In the back of her head, she thought no offense, guys. Raven took the pieces of wood Bumblebee had left and threw them at Jinx. The sorceress did a back flip and dodged the attack. Her eyes started glowing pinkish-white and the beams supporting part of the ceiling of the garage fell. Raven gasped before the plaster fell onto her.

Ha, too easy," Jinx smirked. "Looks like Slade's going to be a little disappointment with Little Miss Destruction."

"Yes, he will. Once I stop you!" Raven shouted. A raven glided out of the plaster and debris and formed into Raven.

"Now that Slade has his hands full, he's out of my way!" Zuko shouted.

"You just got lucky that time," Robin growled.

"But this time, you only have the skinny, weak and green shape shifter and I have my team of firebenders!" Zuko pointed out.

"I think he's got us there, dude," Beast Boy said. "Hey, wait! I'm not skinny and weak! Okay, maybe I'm a little skinny…"

"Beast Boy, look out!" Robin shouted as he jumped on the shape shifter. "Zuko's crew already started to toss fire around in the gym.

"Ha, ha, you can't beat me!" Zuko laughed. Robin and Beast Boy were too far out to do much, so they ran around dodging the fire.

"We need...A…Plan!" Beast Boy panted.

"I'm think…ing!" Robin shouted. "Okay, here's the plan…"

"Slade wasn't as hard to beat then I thought, Katara remarked. "I think he's pretending."

"Or maybe I'm just a good thrower!" Sokka said.

"No, Katara's probably right, Slade's pretending," Aang said.

"Why can't you guys just—" Sokka was cut off by Slade opening his eye. He shot Katara with a small gun-like thing on his wrist and jumped off into the shadows.

"He's gone!" Sokka announced.

"What do you think he did?" Katara asked worriedly inspecting her arm.

"It's probably nothing," Aang said nervously.

"Yah!" Starfire shouted as she hit Blackfire with a starbolt. Blackfire dodged it, and grabbed Starfire. She hit Starfire on the back. Starfire cried out with pain and kicked Blackfire away in the stomach. Blackfire backed off; she held her stomach and flew out a hole in the wall that was made during the fight.

I hope that I will find Blackfire and turn her into the authorities, Starfire thought as she flew off.

"Are you sure you want to go with this plan?" Beast Boy panted

"Yeah, just go with it…now!" Robin shouted.

"Alright," Beast Boy nodded. Robin collapsed on the ground, half because it was part of the plan and half because he felt like his lungs were dead.

"Hey! You guys can take Robin, just leave me alone!" Beast Boy shouted as he picked up Robin. "Dude, you weigh a ton!" he whispered to his leader. Beast Boy turned into a pterodactyl. He dropped Robin into one of the firebender's arms and flew off.

"What do you want to do with this guy?" the firebender asked.

"Oh, do whatever, the only person that is supposed to live is the demon girl," Zuko said showing no interest.

The firebenders weren't paying much attention to Robin, so it was easy for him to go on with his plan. He waited for the right moment and he soon got one. Robin jacked the firebender who was holding him in the chest and jumped gracefully on Zuko.

"What are you doing!" Zuko demanded. Robin didn't answer; he took out a bird-a-rang and tied the string around Zuko.

"Do you really think that this can hold me?" Zuko asked as flames started to form around his arms. "Why isn't this working!" he demanded.

"After Slade came back, did you really think that I wouldn't have a bird-a-rang rope that's fire proof?" Robin said triumphantly. He started to run and managed to get away from the team of firebenders with Zuko.

"Robin, the plan worked?" Beast Boy asked. He appeared in the hallway. Robin had run into the hall and locked the door.

"Yeah, now all we have to do is make this guy talk," Robin said, gesturing to Zuko.

"What makes you think I'll tell you anything?" Zuko asked stubbornly.

"You'll have no choice! Once we find Raven, she can get into your mind," Robin said.

"But we don't know where she is, not to mention everyone else," Beast Boy said.

"Okay, do you think you can find her? I'll stay with Zuko and make sure he doesn't escape," Robin directed. Beast Boy agreed and turned into a mouse. Robin saw just the tip of his tail and he was gone.

"Azarath, Metrion, Zinthos!" Raven shouted. Raven's attack hit Jinx, and she looked like she was getting tired. Jinx was forced into a pile of debris and she closed her eyes, exhausted. Raven sighed, her jumpsuit was ripped on the arms and a couple scratches were on her hands, but otherwise she was okay. Jinx's eyes fluttered open and they were glowing. Raven was hit again by the ceiling, but it was even bigger. Raven couldn't concentrate, she was too tired. Raven was soon under the pile of rubble, unconscious. Jinx got up, laughed unenthusiastically and limped off.

Beast Boy came into the room and morphed back into his human form. "Raven!" he called. He looked around the room. It was a wreck! "Wow, it looks like Silkie's escaped and Starfire's been feeding him radioactive berries again," Beast Boy remarked. The Titans East's garage was mainly for storing things, so it was a real mess before, but now, it seemed like a tornado went through. The ceiling was practically gone!

"Ugh…" Raven groaned from under the pile as she steadily tried to get the plaster off.

"Raven, are you okay!" BeastBoy asked as he helped her up.

"Oh, yeah, lying under the ceiling is real fun," Raven said.

"Yep, you're okay," Beast Boy smiled as he put her arm over his shoulder. They walked for a while, but it was taking really long, so he just turned into a horse and Raven rode the rest of the way.

"Oh, I wish to know that my friends are okay now, please," Starfire said to herself. She was getting lost, she had hardly ever been inside the Titans East Tower; it was unfamiliar.

"Don't worry, you'll be able to see your friends later," said a feminine voice. It sounded familiar, but Starfire couldn't remember who it was.

"Who are you?" Starfire demanded.

"If I wanted you to know, then would I be hiding? Geez, aliens, so unknowing…" the voice said. A sudden jolt ran through Starfire's body. Light electricity formed around her, she was being controlled.

Cyborg and the Titans East had finally been able to get to Brother Blood; unfortunately, Cyborg and Bumblebee were the only ones who were able to fight him. The others had to fend off against the Cybots.

"Oh, you're gonna be sorry you ever left jail, Blood!" Bumblebee shouted as she blasted her B lasers at Brother Blood.

"Kids these days, they show no respect!" Brother Blood said, as he blocked the attacks with his red shield.

"I'm get 'in sick of this!" Cyborg shouted as he grabbed Blood. "Now that I have your attention, would you be so kind as to TELL ME WHAT'S GO 'IN ON HERE!" Cyborg steamed. Brother Blood was so terrified, the Cybots had stopped.

"I'd tell him if I were you," Bumblebee told Brother Blood.

"Uh, alright, just…Just don't do that again," Blood said nervously. Slade and that Zuko fella broke me out of jail. When I got to their headquarters, I found the girls there too. Zuko wanted all of the Titans' arch enemies to be there, so he told us that we have to destroy the Titans for him or else. We knew that if we didn't, he and Slade would probably fight us, and we've heard about Slade. We knew that he was stronger than all of us combined, no matter how much we denied it. Before we got here, Slade and Zuko got into a fight. Zuko wanted to know how Slade would defeat the Avatar. All Slade asked was who the Avatar cared about most," Blood finished. Cyborg stood there, holding Blood by his collar for a few seconds and then started to talk.

"Bee, you and Speedy, Mas and Menos come with me. Aqualad, you watch Blood and call the police. I'll tell you all about it on the way. Let's move!" Cyborg ordered as he dropped Brother Blood.

Bumblebee shrugged and shouted, "Ya'll heard the man! Titans, go!"

Beast Boy and Raven had arrived in the hallway where Robin and Zuko were waiting.

"What happened to you?" Raven asked as she saw Robin's scorch marks and torn clothing.

"That's what I should be asking you!" Robin smiled. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah, thanks," Raven said, "beast Boy says that I need to reach into Zuko's mind or something."

"That's right, can you?" Robin asked.

"Maybe, I was trying really hard to contact you the other day, and I'm not too sure," Raven explained.

"Well—" Robin began, but Zuko kicking him in the interrupted him. Robin fell onto Beast Boy and the boys got all tangled up. Zuko started to run, but Raven was on his heels.

"Azarath, Metrion, Zinthos!" Raven shouted. A telekinetic wall blocked Zuko from escaping.

"Why are you doing this?" Raven questioned.

"Doing what?" Zuko asked. "Running away?"

"No, why are you against everyone? Why are you against the Earth Kingdoms, Water Tribes and Air Temples? Aang said that the Fire Nation used to get along with the other groups a hundred years ago. How did this happen?"

"Why would I tell you?" Zuko asked.

"You won't have to," Raven said as she got into meditation position and closed her eyes. She floated over to Zuko until they were only five feet apart, her powers pinned him against the wall and she chanted, "Azarath…Metrion…Ziiiinthossss." Raven opened her eyes, revealing eyes glowing as bright as a full moon. A raven flew out of Raven and it sunk inside of Zuko. Raven found a memory.

Zuko was on a battlefield, he was on the ground and he looked scared. He looked younger,and hedidn't have the unusual scar. A man who looked even scarier than Slade was standing a few steps away.

"That's what you get for defying me, my son. You are a disgrace!" the man boomed.

"Please, don't, father! I was only doing what is right for our people!" Zuko pleaded.

"Why not? We all have to make our sacrifices!" the man said.

Zuko looked up, his father had his fist stretched out. He took as step back, and stomped one footforward. He punched the air once...flames rushed into Zuko's direction and--Raven didn't see anymore.
