Okay my freaks, I'm back. I don't really know what to expect for this chappie, 'cause I doing this as I go (wow! I actually didn't plan this chapter! That's rare.)

Disclaimer: No I don't own the Teen Titans, but that's okay for now.

Crow looked up at Jace's somewhat rigid profile. 'He knows something.' She thought worriedly hoping against all hope that it wasn't anything that could endanger him. She knew that he would never admit that anything was wrong if she asked him. He just wasn't that way. He would do anything to keep those he love safe. But somehow, despite her nagging worries, she couldn't help but to think how handsome he looked outlined against the setting sun. Jace turned to look at her.

"It's time for me to go for now. Wait for me tonight?" he asked, a gentle smile playing against his lips. Crow returned the smile.

"Of course I'll wait up for you. I'd be daft if I did differently."

Jace's smile grew. He stepped towards her and opened his arms out to her, which she gladly stepped into. Locked into a lover's embrace, Crow no longer worried for his safety. He had asked her to wait up for him tonight. That meant he thought he was coming back, and he always did what he said he would despite the nature. Crow shivered a little from the memory of how they first met, that cold look in his eye. Jace laid his head up against hers.

"Cold love?" Crow shook her head.

"Just remembering," She eased herself from his embrace. "You know, back when we first met."

Jace's eyes suddenly seemed unreadable.

"I remember. You were there when I was trying to kill your grandfather. You tried to stop me. I still don't understand why." His voice seemed to be stony, and slightly cold. Crow reached up and smoothed out the lines that were etched in his face.

"I did it because he was my grandfather. I wanted the pleasure of killing him. It was nothing against you. I promise." She explained, willing him to understand. Jace nodded his head slightly, but the shuddered, unreadable look remained in his eyes.

"Have you killed him yet?" His voice was no longer cold and stony, but soothing and curious. Crow shook her head.

"I got sucked into here before I could." Jace nodded.

"Love, I have to go now. If not, I'll never be back in time to warn you of anything."

Crow let him go and said, "I have to go back in before anyone tries to find me anyway. Hurry back."

Jace grabbed her arm, twirled her around until her back was against his chest and kissed the side of her neck. He then let her go and ran off the roof do disappear into a portal like hole. Crow stood rigid for a second, wishing that he didn't have to go. She remembered all that he had done for her, like the time her parents almost got divorced because of her. She let a silent tear fall down her face before gathering her composure back. Crow walked calmly back to her room, listening to all the sounds. It seemed that everyone went out to a club. Crow sighed.

40 miles into Gothem City in a house that flaunted with wealth, a man looked down at the message runner. It seems that he was going to get some extra help after all. Then he would no longer have to worry about a future were his work would have to be done in secrecy. The man let a smile creep up on his face. Waving the runner away, he looked over at the window to see his new assassin teleport into the room.

"Do you never knock?" asked the man in a rasping voice.

"It's not in my job description." Came the smooth reply.

The man sneered.

"We no longer have to worry about the future teens. We've received some unexpected help."

The assassin just looked at the foolish old geezer that stood before him thinking that he had won when the battle has yet to even begin. The assassin's blue covered eyes rolled into the back of his head and were replaced with pitch-black eyes. 'This is not going to be a very fun fight like he once thought that it would be.

Hatred101: Hay I'm sorry it wasn't as long as I had hoped that it would be, but like I said, I actually didn't plan this chapter, which for me is highly unusual.

Crow: yeah yeah yeah, we all know that you're a nerd, so shut it.

Hatred101: What's wrong with being a nerd? It's actually fun! Besides, I'm not a nerd, I'm a geek. There's a difference.

Crow: (snort)
