I don't own Teen Titans

BlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlah

"So what do you guys think?"

"Ummm…"

"Ummmm, what?" replied Robin with a bad feeling.

"Can we talk to you Robin?" Cyborg spoke for the group. "Privately?" He glanced at Winter, and she gave a sad smile. She stood, and walked out of the room, going down the hall a few paces before turning around and going back to listen at the door. She was interested in what the other Titans had to say about her.

"…to us with Terra? Do you really want to trust another girl who you just met, and invite her on the team?" Winter assumed that it was Starfire speaking. The unique language was hard to miss. There was a sigh, and then some murmuring.

"She may be her sister, Robin, but, do really want to do this? I don't want to go through the same thing again." She recognized Beast Boy's voice, and couldn't help but notice that he sound very upset. Maybe she should leave, and tell Robin that she'll go back to traveling and visit once in a while. The team obviously had some trust problems. It would be better them all. Winter could go back to helping random people she met.

"She could be another one of Slade's pawns. I could check her memory, and see if she has heard of him." Here was that name again. Slade. They said his name with fear. She wondered why? Wait a second. Check her memory? Nora's eyes widened. They can't go into her mind! 'Come on Robin, say something!' she thought

"Do you mean going into her memory? And invading her personal space? All her thoughts, and every thing?"

"Robin, you want us to trust her, right?"

"I- I guess," 'Don't give in Robin!'

"Trust me Robin; I'm doing this for our safety." Nora heard the movement of feet, and stood from where she was crouching by the door. Raven came through the door first, and was faced with a mad Nora.

"You can't enter my mind." Nora said, with venom in her voice.

Raven's eye's narrowed. "I have to, to protect the team."

"Why? What did I ever do to you? When did I ever hurt you?"

"It's what you could do to hurt us, now let me into your mind! Azerath, Mertion, Zint-,"

"No!" Winter froze Raven's mouth and ran. She couldn't let these people into her mind. Then they would know. They would know her weakness. The one thing that could make her cry. She turned a corner, and saw Beast Boy standing there looking at the floor. Winter stopped, and he looked up, and the expression on his face melted the heart that had frozen over in the last few seconds.

"Can I tell you something? Why we want to search your mind?" Winter gave a nod, and slowly and cautiously walked over to him. He sat on the stairs.

"I guess you figured out our trust problems. Close to the same thing happened about a year or two ago. A girl, who was really good with earth and everything, could move them around, ya know, well she came to us. Well, we went to her. But the team decided that she could have been a good addition tot the team. We tested her abilities, and found that she had some control issues with her powers. When Robin mentioned that minor detail, she ran away." He gulped then continued "She came back a little while longer, and joined the team. She had said that she was away working on her powers, and she turned out to be really good. We let her on the team, and we where all right for a while. We trusted her, all of us, including Raven, and me. Well, one night, I went to ask her out on a date, and she turned me down flat. I was disappointed, but a little while later, she was at my window, on rock, asked if I wanted to go to the carnival that was in town for a while. I agreed, and it was the best night of my life." His eyes were off into the distance as if her was seeing it all again. Another pained look came over his face. "But when I was about to kiss her, Slade came up behind us, and told me that she was working for him. I didn't but believe him. She confirmed what he said, and I- I ran out on her. Her face, it was, I- couldn't" Beast Boy's face was twisted in pain, and he bowed his head. Winter put her arms around him as he cried. She whispered a "shhhh" and for a while they just sat there, her rocking him and Beast Boy letting out his feelings. The tears slowed down and he continued his story.

"Sorry"

"It's alright."

"Anyways, they disappeared for a little while, and then struck without warning. They beat us bad. We where put in an under ground prison thingy, and after deciding on a battle plan, we busted out. We scared her, breaking her down. We followed her back to their hideout, and watched as he hurt her for failing to put an end to us. I ran up and convinced her to turn on Slade, and it looked like I was about to get crushed by a ton of rocks. She then turned around and crushed Slade instead. But she knew that the hideout was going to destroy the city so s-she sacrificed herself, for us. She's a statue now, in the same tavern that Slade died in." he took a deep breath. Winter took the chance to voice a comment.

"If this Slade guy died, then why do you guys still fear him?"

"Because my father resurrected him, and used him to get me, so my father could take over the world." The two turned to see the rest of the titans behind them watching with sad faces.

"Heh-um, how long have you guys been standing there? Said beast Boy, with a fake smile on his face. All around his eyes where red, and it was obvious that he had been crying.

"Long enough, friend." Said Starfire. She flew over to where Beast Boy was, and gave him a gentile hug.

"Wow, I guess you guys have gone through a lot. Huh?" Nora said with a glance to Robin.

"More than you know." He said, pleading with her to give in, for her own safety.

"Then I guess, you can search my memory. Just- don't go too far back. I have some- hard memories back there." She gave a sad smile to Robin, and he nodded, understanding what she was talking about.

"Alright." Said Raven. She took a deep breath, and folded her legs underneath herself. "Azerath, Mertion, Zinthos" her soul self went into winter who gasped at the feeling. After a little while Raven came out, and had a neutral face on.

"She's clean." She said simply. The rest of the titans brightened up, and Starfire rushed to Winter, giving her a hug that knock the air right out of Winter.
"Well, then," said Robin, with a huge smile on his face. "There's just one more test you have to take for you're on the team." Follow me."

Winter followed her excited brother, and for a few seconds was next to him. She then slowed down to walk beside Raven.

"Sorry 'bout all the trouble I gave you guys."

"It's alright, I understand. Though you didn't have to freeze my mouth shut." Raven gave a smirk, and watched Winter as she flinched.

"Sorry. I hope it didn't give you frost bite or anything!"

"I'm fine, don't worry about it." An uncomfortable silence followed.

"So, um about my memories..."

"I won't tell anyone. When I went into Robin's mind," Winter gave a sharp, questioning glance. "I'm sure Robin will tell you later. Anyways, when I went into Robin's mind, I saw a glance of what happened. I'm really sorry." She looked over to Winter, and saw her eyes brimming with tears. She took a deep breath, and the tears disappeared as if they where never there. She nodded her head, not trusting herself to speak. Raven gave and understanding smile, an intense emotion for her, (A/N if anyone can tell me what book this is from, I'll give you lots of cookies! Hint: change the her to a him and it's the a book about a 12 year-old!) and they came to the doors that the rest of the Titans went through. The doors opened, and Winter's eyes got wide.

"Um, guys…"
