Robin took her to a quiet place in the park and they sat on a bench in front of a small pond. They didn't speak at first. He looked around the park and Angel sat and looked at the pond. She made a bubble sound with her lips and began to tap her fingers on the seat. Then she whistled for a while and stopped.

"Are you going to talk or bore me to death?" she asked him with a smirk. He turned to her.

"Yeah, sorry. Listen, about what I said last night. I really meant it." It took him a while to get it all out. She turned and looked at him in a funny manner. "I know it's kind of sudden and surprising, but I had to tell you. You know I don't like to lie. And, Raven kind of knocked it into me that the situation is…you know what it is."

"What are you talking about?" she asked finally.

"You don't remember what I said last night?" he asked.

"All I remember is everything going dark and then you talking to me, but that was when I woke up."

"Oh, so you didn't hear me when you were out?" she shook her head. "So, I just basically wasted a couple minutes of your time." He said embarrassed and dumbfounded.

"Hey, don't talk like that." She said, "I enjoy talking to you. You're a nice guy. You're not wasting my time. But if you don't mind me asking…what did you say to me last night while I was out cold?" he bowed his head.

"Um…never mind." She looked at him funny.

"Do you have a secret?" she asked. He looked into her eyes; they were crystal pools of emotion. He smiled. Then his attention was directed down to her arms.

"Your burns are almost gone." He stated. She looked down.

"I know. I heal quickly." She told him.

"Won't they scar?"

"Maybe not," she started and looked him in the eyes, "Maybe so, I doubt it."

"Pure skin, huh?" he grinned. She grinned back and shrugged bashfully. "So, you still wanna fight?"

"Of course I do." She said with her head in the air. "I'm not scared because of one accident."

"But I am." He admitted.

"Why do you worry about me so much?" She paused, "You worry about me more than the rest of the team."

"I dunno, I just do." And she scooted closer to him, giving him goose bumps.

"I'm a big girl Robin." She said with a grin. "You don't have to fret."

"I know…I just…I just…." And he sighed and got up and walked away. She sat there and watched as he walked over to the pond. He bowed his head. She got up and slowly approached him. She walked next to him and grabbed his hand. His heart stopped at the gesture. He watched as she lifted his hand up to hers and her eyes began to glow light blue. Some water from the pond flew up and above them. She took his other hand and cupped them together, holding them with her own under his. The water formed a ball and floated down into his hand, just above his palms. He watched in awe as it stayed there, as a crystal clear orb! He looked up at her eyes and looked away.

"You can tell me." She said softly.

"I can't."

"You save the day, you lead the team, you protect the city…" and he looked back up into her eyes. "You can do anything."

"I…I care about you." He said. She removed her hands from under his and the water ball continued to levitate over them. It lifted up higher as she now held his separated hands.

"We have something mutual." She spoke softly. It sank into his brain and rang at his heart. The water ball turned into a gentle stream and flew back into the pond. Robin watched as her eyes returned to normal and stepped closer to her, still holding her hands. She leaned in and planted a small kiss on his cheek. His heart stopped and his lungs craved air. He gazed upon her clever smile. "I've been saving that for you." Then their communicators blinked and went off. "Bad guys ruin everything!" she exasperated. "You pursue on ground, I'll go by air. And don't worry, I'll be fine." And as she said that she poked his nose and she flew up into the air. "Meet you there!" and she flew off. He stood there for a minute and then jumped on his bike and raced off!

At the scene, he saw the other titans on the ground! He ran over to them and saw that they had collars around their necks; it must have drained the energy from them! He looked around and didn't see anybody, not even Angel. He went to revive Cyborg but he sat up suddenly! "Cy, what happened?" he asked. But Cyborg didn't reply, he just stood up- and then smashed Robin into a wall! Robin dusted himself off. "What's the matter? It's me, Robin!" he said dodging Cyborg's other blows! Then Starfire knocked him with a star bolt and he tumbled to the ground! Beast Boy came up as a dinosaur and went to step on Robin! But he was scooped up into the air and flew onto a roof top! He looked up and saw Angel appear from being invisible. "Thanks for the lift." He said.

"Something's seriously wrong! They've got these collar thingies on their necks and they can't hear me! Then I saw this little puppet looking guy run into an alley."

"The Puppet King! He's using them as his own puppets!" Robin told her.

"Well, what do we do? We can't fight them!" she stressed.

"No we can't, but we can fight Puppet King. C'mon!" he said as he leapt from one building top to another and Angel flew behind him! "There he is!" Robin pointed to a small figure running down the street! Angel flew down and used her earth powers to send a tree crashing down in front of him, blocking him from escape! She landed as Robin did next to her. "Puppet King, how did you get your magic back?"

"And what did you do to our friends?" Angel butted in.

"Your friends are under my control!" he said as he held up a controller. Angel and Robin growled. "I have no use for them; I just wanted to make sure the rumors were true."

"What rumors?" Robin asked angrily.

"That there's a new teen titan in town?" he said and laughed. They looked at Angel. "Who are you my dear?"

"My name is Mystic Angel."
