Thanks to Randomgirl14 for spotting that particularly embarrassing mistake in the first relese of his chapter.

………………………………………………………………………………………………

It was a particularly fine day in Jump City. The weather was fine and most of the town was checking out the newly built movie studio so the streets weren't too crowded. More specifically all the good shops that would usually be packed on weekends weren't too crowded. This was particularly convenient for the thirteen year old girl who was checking out the town for the first time. Between her fair skin, shoulder length blond hair, sparkling blue eyes, petite yet perfectly sculpted figure and her care free attitude she usually had a tone of boys hitting on her wherever she went. Not that she minded this as she liked toying with them though it was particularly inconvenient when trying to check out a new town.

Angela immerged from the clothes shop feeling particularly pleased with herself sporting her new look of black Nike basketball boots, loose fitting urban camo ¾ cargo pants, a matching tank top and a pair of black fingerless gloves. Her head turned when she herd the engine note of a highly tuned motor bike engine to see a red bike driven by a boy wearing something that looked like something out of a circus act. The bike pulled up at the lights and the rider had a look around. He glanced around while waiting for the lights to change. It was only when he glanced at Angela that she realized who the rider was. A smile came to her face, it had been the first time she'd been checked out by a super hero. The lights changed and Robin took off down the hill towards a near by cave. This got Angela's curiosity going. "Now what would a superhero be doing in some little cave like that" she thought aloud. After a couple seconds hesitation she proceeded down the hill to check things out.

Robin flicked on his headlights and set them to high beam as he slowly ride threw the cave. His thoughts however were still back with that girl he was checking out by the lights. "She was damn hot. Looked too young for me though she'd be ideal for Beast Boy if she didn't look so much like Terra" Lately he and Cybourg had been trying to find a girl for their green friend to keep his mind off Terra though they hadn't had any luck yet. When Beast boy was concentrating on something he was alright though when he had nothing to do he got back to beating himself up over the whole mess. All of the titans hated to see beast boy in this state though particularly Robin who felt responsible on three counts. Firstly, he was Beast Boy's team leader and as such bore the responsibility of making sure he was alright, both physically and mentally. Secondly, he hadn't been able to stop Slade, he should have been able to take him down long ago but couldn't. The third reason was the one that hurt host of all. If he hasn't been so damn trackless about telling Terra she needed more training she wouldn't have ran off, there'd be six titans and Beast Boy would probably be on a date with her instead of crying his heart out in some dingy cave over the remains of his lover.

Robin reached the point where he had to dismount. As soon as his engine note died with the ignition, the all too familiar sound of Beast Boy's sobs found Robin's ears. As he approached, Robyn could have sworn he herd a second set of footsteps behind him though when he turned around there was nobody there. Robin resigned himself that being a super hero must be making him paranoid and continued towards his green friend trying to think of some new way to console him. Nothing had worked so far, though the rest of the Titans were far from ready to give up.

Beast Boy didn't even react to Robin's presence until well after he felt the green gloved hand on his left shoulder.

"What's up?"

"Just checking up on a couple of good friends."

"Oh"

"When my parents were murdered, I took it pretty hard…"

"I appreciate what you're trying to do but.."

"I was beating myself up for weeks until a wise old butler talked some sense into me."

"Look, I…"

"Firstly he told me not to blame my self for what 'he' Did."

"I'm tired of all these…"

"Secondly! He pointed out that the last thing my parents would have wanted when they were gone was for me to be sad, especially when I thought of them. So if you're gonna mope about the whole thing, do it some place else. Come here only to remember the good times. Think of it as a sneak preview of when we bring her back. She fell in love with the happy care free joker that was Beast Boy, not the pitiful depressed shadow of him that you'll become. And she'll need him to help her get over this whole mess. So toughen up for her sake. That's an order."

Beast boy wiped the tears from his eyes. Robin had a point. How could he let Terra down like this!

"Thanks man."

A smile came to Robin's face.

"What are friends for? Now that you've cheered up a bit I'll tell you the new development I made this mourning."

"What? What have you got?"

"It doesn't give us any answers but it's something that might just make us start asking the right questions."

"Spit it out already!"

"The reason we haven't been able to find anything on her before we met her is that someone's been covering her tracks."

"What!"

"It's been done by a pro. I found out accidentally when I was chasing up something else on the FBI's database. The record hadn't been deleted properly due to a hard drive malfunction and I was able to recover part of the data. Nothing meaningful except that she was possibly sighted in Nevada some time last year"

"And this all means what?"

"She has a past. We find the one who's been burying it, we find some answers."

"So where do we start looking?"

"I'm not sure yet. Some old friends are looking into it for me. I also sent them copies of Cybourg's memories involving her, they might pick something up that we missed."

The two Titans' conversation was cut short by a pair of blinking communicators

Robin instinctively flicked his open. To see Cybourg's face on the tiny LCD screen

"Report"

"You know those guys who flattened the Titans East? Got some intel that they might be in town. Bumblebee checked out the hotel they were staying in and found out that one of them had been talking with a director about an audition at that new film studio down town. They've also tipped the Military Police"

"Why the Military Police?"

"They're the ones who want them. Some Colonel's been chasing them for a while."

"Beast Boy and I are near by. we'll do some poking around and call you if anything turns up"

"I'll send you everything we've got on them"

"Much appreciated, Robin out."

Robin flicked the communicator shut and headed towards his bike, Beast Boy was on his tail.

"Want a ride?"

"Dude, you've never offered me a ride"

"First time for everything. Besides, I figured you could use some cheering up. You up for it"

"40,000 ft and climbing"

Robin smirked and threw him the helmet. The two climbed on. Robin started the bike lifted the revs and popped the clutch. The rear wheel spun for a few seconds kicking up dirt, dust and rocks while producing white smoke from the tire. The rear wheel gained traction, catapulting the bike away.

Between the darkness and not bothering to check the rear view mirrors, neither of the two titans noticed that some of the dirt and dust has stayed seemingly in mid air to form the outline of a person. A very angry person for at that. Angela shook off the dust as well as the substance coating her rendering her virtually invisible. It was bad enough that they were racing off to hunt her friends but driving like a maniac and showering her with debris was just un-necessary. She reached into her pocket removing a radio.

"Cain is for Charlie"

A male voice replied.

"Delta is for Cain"

"You've got MPs and 2 Teen Titans headed your way."

"Rodger that. Thanks for the heads up"

Though she'd managed to warn her friends, Angela was still disappointed that she hadn't found any secret lairs. All that remained was to check out that statue further down the cave and try to find out who this 'she' was that they'd been talking about. Ashley froze on the spot when she recognized the statue. The resemblance was incredible. The statue looked like a taller, older version of Angela with longer hair.

"TERRA!"

Ashley's eyes investigated every detail of the statue. Pausing on the expression of fear and sorrow of Tera's face and the S symbols. Finally Angela's eyes fell upon the brass plaque. She read it aloud.

"Terra. A Teen Titan and A True Friend"

"What happened to you?"
