When Marlis got back she found all the Titans waiting for her. "Well?" Robin said with immediate suspicion.

"Well what?"

"What did he say?" Robin asked. Marlis shrugged; she wasn't going to tell them everything they had talked about.

"He took me to some cave place and we talked about our family. I asked him what he had against you guys and he said everything. I don't know what he meant by it though," she explained before going into the kitchen and making some popcorn. As he turned to Raven, Robin's eyes were gleaming with suspicion. "Is she telling the truth?"he asked.

"Yes. Maybe you should trust her a bit more. She doesn't seem to be somebody who would betray the Titans." As the goth empath spoke, Robin sighed a bit. Anything with the word "Slade" couldn't be trusted to him. And yet as he watched Marlis dance and hum as she made popcorn, he realized that if she ever went against the Titans then she wouldn't stand a chance.

"Step by Step,

Heart to heart,

Left Right Left, we all fall down,

Like Toy Soldiers..." As Marlis sang on the rooftop her large gray eyes watched the waves come and go. With a small sigh she lay back and closed her eyes, still humming. Almost as soon as her eyes were closed she felt something furry sit on her stomach. As she looked up, the green cat meowed at her. "I'm a dog person. I hate cats," she said with a small smirk before most of the pressure go away and the fur staying. Looking back she found a small chiuaua watching her, it's tongue hanging from its mouth. "I'm more of a rottweiler person..." Her eyes didn't stay closed for long as a large rottweiler sat on her stomach, seemingling smirking at her. "Beast Boy! Get off!" she yelled, trying not to laugh (if she did it would hurt very much with the large dog sitting on her). As the dog got off she sat up and petted its head before it turned into the famous green changeling. "Couldn't resist," he said with a laugh. With the silence growing, Marlis smirked. "How much does a polar bear weigh?"she asked.

"I dunno."

"Enough to break the ice." She watched him think before chuckling. "Had to think about it, huh?"she asked. He pushed her playfully before they shared a small laugh.

"So...about Truth or Dare the other night..."Beast Boy started.

"I thought you liked Raven!" Marlis stated, looking him in the eye. He began to laugh uncotrolably, doubling over.

"You've got it all wrong! Raven and I don't like each other!"

"But everytime you see each other you blush."

"That's because I know who she likes. Not because we like each other," Beast Boy laughed as he explained. With a soft nod, Marlis soon realized what she had been thinking for so long was terribly wrong. As she began to think she felt a glaved hand touch hers; looking back to him she realized how close their faces were. As the blush took over her face she quicklky leaned over and kissed his cheek before spreading her wings and taking flight. Beast Boy followed her in the form of a hawk, his green wings moving in unison with hers. Marlis found exactly what she was looking for; the large building stood looming over the city with its large pointed top.

Beast Boy had no clue where they were going but he wasn't about to stop and ask. 'Maybe she does like me...Dude, sweet!' As he thought he saw where Marlis was flying to. He dove infront of her and began to fly faster as if racing. Soon enough Marlis caught up to him and sped past, landing at the base of the pont. Returning to his human form, Beast Boy stood beside her a bit nervously. "I love it up here...It's so quiet." A long and unusual silence fell upon the two.

"So, Marlis...wanna go out sometime?"

Months past and the two titans were officially being called a couple. They went everywhere together, shared their darkest secrets and would beat each other in every video game they had. Marlis was never told who Raven liked and yet it didn't bother her that much, though it did make her all the more curious. As the sun shone down on the city the Titans had gone out to the park. While Beast Boy chased a few squirrels, Marlis sat upside down on a large tree branch, watching everyone while feeling the blood rush to her face. The others played volleyball or catch with some of the local kids (except Raven who was, of course, reading). After a few minutes of her relaxation, something hit her hard, knocking her out of the tree. She landed on her back and shook her head as she sat up, looking around. Finding the football that must have hit her she tossed it back to the group of kids before sitting underneath the tree. A large explosion made the Titans draw their attention back to the city. "Titans, GO!" Robin yelled and they ran/flew towards the explosion as fast as they could. Raven and Marlis were the first ones there and Marlis couldn't help but gasp at what they saw. Slade stood over the body of a man who was not breathing. Before Raven or any of the newly arrived Titans could say anything Marlis flew towards her brother shooting fireballs at him. She tackled him to the ground while trying to grab his mask. "Why Slade? Why would you kill somebody!" As she yelled her fingers gripped the mask and pulled it off. She looked into the eyes blue eyes of her brother and grabbed his shoulder; she flew into the air and showed his face to the Titans. "This is the man you've been fighting! His name is Slade Wilson. And he's an absolute TRAITOR!" As the last word was said she tossed him to the ground. The others seemed too stunned to do anything...anyone except Robin, who jumped up and immediately began asking Slade questions. "Why did you kill him?"

"I wanted something, he got in my way."

"Why didn't you run?"

"I'd get caught anyway?"

"Why didn't you fight?"

"I wouldn''t fight a family member like that." Hearing this, Marlis sighed and flew towards her brother.

"What did you steal?"she asked.

"Why should I tell you?" Growing angrier she brought her flame-covered hand towards his face.

"If you don't you can say good-bye to your eyesight." He knew she wasn't kidding anymore.

"Only a few weapons..." With that he took out a large ray gun and shot her in the chest. She fell back and watched as the others sprung into action. Beast Boy rab and asked Marlis if she was okay. She nodded and watched him follow the other Titans. And then everything seemed to go black. Slade had knocked out Starfire and Cyborg and was easily making his way to Robin. And yet, something large and green stopped him and knocked him into a building. The large t-rex roared and tranformed into a large tiger. Slade smirked a bit. "You know, Marlis was going to betray you, just like Terra did." With that, Beast Boy lunged at the villain, pushing him to the ground with his large weight. Raising a large clawed paw...

CLIFFIE! HAHAHAHA!
