A/N: Ah, I see… chapters are short and there isn't any fluff… sorry guys, I kind of got caught up in the mystery theme than the romance… I'll try fitting the romance in…

Terra woke up at six and got dressed in her pizza uniform since it seemed more civil than a business-looking suit. She woke up much earlier than expected. After no sleep for over a day you'd think she would make up for the time lost. Terra wasn't thinking that way though… she was dead tired but couldn't sleep and all she was thinking of was sleep only.

Since it was so early, she decided to go to a café for breakfast. The thing is; she hates coffee. It's distasteful and bitter/sweet, but it's the only thing that will keep her eyes open if sleep suddenly decides to kick in at an inappropriate time.

As she lazily gulped down the hot beverage as if she didn't feel it scorching her insides, Speedy spotted her and waved. She didn't notice since she was still jugging down the drink. He noticed the lack of attention and gathered the courage to sit himself across from the blonde. Once she stopped drinking to take a break, eye contact took place. This was different though. When she and Robin's eyes connected it didn't seem as uncomfortable and abnormal. Now, with Speedy, she's feeling a weird tingling sensation go through her.

"Um, hey," Terra greets in a less tired and a more interested voice. This was getting irritating. Terra never felt like this as long as she could remember… which isn't too long, sadly. But it was annoying. Every time the redhead comes along it's like her heart skips. It's unfamiliar but yet she feels as if she's felt this bizarre sensation before. "You've got any more questions you forgot to ask me?" She asks in a sarcasm-tinged voice. She hated the feeling yet loved it. She felt more playful and less tense around him. He seemed pretty humorous himself…

Speedy chuckled at her half-attempt at a joke. Terra was a mystery to the young archer. He had this weird feeling for her though they had only met twice so far. It was sort of a bizarre feeling he would have to get used to if he wanted to hang around with her more. But then again, he had to. Robin's orders… speaking about boy wonder, he's been on Speedy's back 24/7. It's not sweet to be awakened about five in the morning for some useless update or if Robin was 'just curious' to know if he were still focusing on the situation and not women. Speedy simply came over to visit his mentor, the great Green Arrow not to hunt down some robber. But ever since he met this blonde he kept forgetting about 'the situation at hand'. She was little joy he was getting out of this whole visit to Gotham city.

"No," He chuckles in the most macho tone he can muster. "I simply came over to talk…" The amnesiac gives him a shy grin to receive a smug one from Speedy. Speedy frowned at her suddenly. "Hey, uh, I don't mean to be rudebut I'm just wondering… where did you get that cut on your cheek…?" Terra gave him a look then traced a finger on her cheek to find a rough cut trail down to her jaw. It was probably when she jumped through the Bruce Wayne manor's window when trying to escape.

"Oh, this…? This is an old scar I got while… uh… playing with scissors…?" Terra mentally slapped herself. What a lame excuse…

"Oh, OK." Speedy answered in a non-assuring voice. He didn't really trust her but he decided to drop it. Both of them tried to find something to say but nothing. Then, out of the blue, Terra asked him,

"Are you new to Gotham? I heard that you're part of the Titans' East…" Terra didn't know where that came from. It was so abrupt. Speedy's grin only got wider though, to Terra's surprise.

"So, you know about me?" He asked in a self-absorbed voice, leaning in to her. Terra rolled her eyes playfully. She had heard not much about him but once her pizza parlor boss, Mr. Andrew had told her about him when she asked during a thirty-second break.

"Yeah, you guys seem to be pretty known." She said, sarcasm, yet again, claiming her. This name seemed familiar. The name 'titans' turned her off like a switch. The curiosity was driving her mad so she just had to ask, "Why did you name yourselves 'Titans East' anyway?" Terra asked in a more serious tone, sipping at her coffee which had gone slightly cold.

"Actually, I'm not sure. It probably has something to do with the Teen Titans since we were in alliance… even now ever since that robber and Bruce Wayne case… we're going to investigate the mansion for any clues." Terra responded in spurt of coffee from her mouth. Speedy jumped back in his seat in surprise. That was the last reaction in mind.

"The… the Teen Titans… you're working with them now?" Terra asked with shock in her dark blue eyes. Speedy hesitated then nodded. Now it made more sense! She stared at him with round eyes then abruptly got to her feet. Speedy followed.

"Where are you going in such a rush?"

"I'm sorry, but I've really got to leave. Um… boss is expecting me. Later," Terra rushed through her words so fast it took a few seconds to decipher it. Speedy half-attempted to reach out but she was already heading to the door in a hurrying pace. He sighed.

"Later…" He murmured staring down at his new blonde friend's unfinished coffee. He glared at its black core. She was in an awful hurry; she didn't even finish the coffee she was so into. He looked up at the clock. It was about six-thirty. If she delivers at the pizza parlor, then why is she in such a rush when it only opens at nine 'o' clock? Speedy's eyes avert to the door to see that she's gone. He jetted to the door and looked around. She was nowhere in sight. How could she move that quickly? "Where did she go…?" The redheaded archer questioned himself as he took a few steps around while his head was facing different directions in a matter a short seconds. Now he's beginning to see why Robin is so cautious about this girl.

Terra darted into the sky as quickly as possible while no one was looking. While she was shooting through the sky at an abnormal speed, she reached for a cell phone in her pockets. She flipped out a virgin mobile that Marcello's allies were able to get her. She dialed violently and placed itto her ear, waiting for an answer. Once the delivery girl got a bass 'hello' she quickly replied.

"Bobby, news update, the Titans East are in alliance with the Teen Titans to find out about the robbery." Terra said almost too quick to understand.

"OK, calm down. That's good information. What do you think we should do?" Bobby's said, keeping as calm as possible. Terra rattled her brain for information.

"You should hide." She said finally gathering her breath and stopping at a different Gotham hotel. She landed unnoticed and ran straight next to a black limo. She knocked on the window and a piercing brown eye went right through her. Once he noticed who it was, his scowl faded and he hung up the phone as soon as she did.

"Anything else…?" Terra caught her breath and nodded.

"They're going to investigate the mansion later on. I might have left something behind…"

"Were you wearing any gloves?" Bobby asked, sitting up a bit. Terra thought back and shook her head. Bobby's eyes went wide. "Kid, you gotta go back thereand wipe off any evidence. What did you touch?"

"I… I just remember a door knob…" Bobby gave her a nod, some gloves and a cloth.

"Wipe it all off by tonight," The older blonde tells her as she takes it. He eyes her clothes. "And in uniform…" Terra nods again. Before she left he stopped her. "Wait, where'd you get this information?" The big male asked in concern. Terra hesitated.

"Um… Speedy… from Titans East." Bobby smiles at her.

"Now, that's good news! You could use him!" He laughs. Terra didn't like the way he used the word 'use'. It sounded as if he were some kind of tool. But she nodded anyway. Terra couldn't get her feelings for him in her way. If he's with the Titans that means they're supposed to be enemies not friends. Terra's thoughts were interrupted. "What about the other information on the Gotham Mafia?"

"Oh, right. I'm not sure they're part of the Gotham Mafia but they're up to something. It has something to do with a cigar case and a safe." Bobby frowned at this.

"It's probably containing some kind of message or something. Terra, look into it more. I think you're barking up the right tree. I'll see you later. I've got a meeting." Bobby left instantly in the limo, driving furiously. Terra nodded and checked her watch. Six thirty-nine. She had lots of time to do other things. The blonde looks around and thinks. Bobby told her to look into the situation at hand more… but it's a bit dangerous especially if it's morning. Maybe taking a walk would calm her nerves. After work, she can finally get to the Wayne Manor and fix things.

Terra stuffed the equipment in her large pockets and walked off thinking about Speedy again for some reason. Every time Terra brushed the thought out it always came back. The thought of 'using' Speedy kept bothering her.

Back at Titans Tower, Beast Boy has been moping around lately. Raven knew why and she despised the fact that Terra was broken out of her prison and she's somewhere out there, practically causing trouble. She thought they had gotten rid of her for good. Now that she's back she might take Beast Boy away from her. She didn't want to let this happen and so, in result, she was worrying and she would make a few minor things explode due to stress or accidentally thinking of Terra.

Starfire and Cyborg have also been uneasy. Terra could be causing trouble wherever she is at the moment. Ever since Beast Boy showed them the empty cave all they've been of was her and how she might have come out. Terra couldn't have busted out herself so there must be someone with her. Who was anybody's guess.

Then there was Robin.

He was the most serious and cautious member of the group since he was the leader and you can just imagine how he reacted to the news. He was furious and, though he didn't show it, afraid. He feared that the robber from a few nights ago was probably Terra since they had such a striking resemblance. Nonetheless, he and Speedy were going to check it out. They were going to try and find evidence, to see if that really was Terra. If it was, then how are they going to find her? Robin was stressed ever since. There were so many questions that he wanted answers to but he knew he was to work for them in order to receive them…

Down below in an unknown, hot area, Marcello stood above molten lava and looked up at the two blood red eyes glaring down at him.

"Marcello," It started, its voice echoing through the cavern-like underground area. "Is Terra receiving proper training?" Marcello froze and rubbed the back of his head while tugging at his collar due to the heat he was feeling in the cave and the body heat due to nervousness.

"Well, er, yeah, I guess… I mean she's doing us favors and learning. Like, uh, getting in on enemies and learning about, you know, stealth and stuff…" He stammered restlessly, beginning to sweat. The eyes narrowed, obviously not satisfied.

"Marcello, I do not care about petty abilities like stealth. She needs to know more about hand-to-hand combat...power...if she's going to pull off my chores. Is she training?" He asked in a demanding voice more than a questioning one.

"Well, no but-…"

"She has to know about fighting skills Marcello! If she does not learn anything how will she complete my requests?" The demonic voice snaps loudly almost deafening the mid-heightened male. Marcello backs up slightly in fear. He answers,

"I-I can give her guns if that's what y-you meant-…" The angered voice cut in.

"No! She needs to learn about the mere basics! Guns will not help!" The voice roared with pure anger. Marcello fell to his knees to bow to him.

"I'm sorry! Please forgive me!" Marcello pleaded quickly.

"You shall find a teacher to teach her the basics or I will turn on our deal! Is that clear?" Marcello nodded frantically getting to his feet. "Take this." Marcello noted the lava beneath him was beginning to curdle and, without warning, a sword slowly rose from the hot liquids and once completely out, it towards Marcello with its pointed end heading straight for him. The mustached Italian panicked, stepped aside and caught the handle. The handle burnt his hand causing him to yelp and shift it from one hand to the other for a few seconds until it cooled down. He observed it and with interest. It was hard with a shine, showing it was well-made and new with a firm, black and red clothed handle. The sword was slim. Not too skinny, not to wide. But what bothered Marcello was what was engraved in the sharp instrument. It was some kind of design that nearly engulfed its silver outside. "Give it to her immediately." Marcello stiffened right after.

"About that… uh… Terra's not back from Gotham yet…" The eyes narrowed more if possible.

"What is she doing there?" Marcello played around with the sword, finding a way to explain.

"She's… trying to find training…" Marcello lied with a sigh.

"At least she is ahead. Make sure she has received proper combat skills or I won't just take your life again, I will wipe your soul from existence. Understood, Marcello?" The rough tone growled. The slick-haired man nodded and ran out. "Soon, Raven… soon, you will be mine… and nothing will stop me…" It cackled evilly, the eyes glowing with hate yet excitement.

Wow, that was the longest chapter I've ever written! Please review if I did anything wrong. Peace out.
