He's Back-
"Wow…" Beast Boy looked at the girl in awe. "Where did you come from?" he questioned, wiggling his eyebrows at her.
"I don't know…" she rubbed her chin and looked to the side in thought. "I guess I don't remember much about anything really. I woke up inside this cave… Then I walked around the city for awhile. When I heard about you guys I could just picture you all and I thought maybe you could help…"
"A cave?" Raven questioned flatly, looking at the girl suspiciously.
"You mean you can't remember anything at all before that?" Robin asked her disbelievingly.
"Nope… Nothing… It's as if my life began when I was in that cave…" she glanced at the ground sadly. "I wish I did know what happened before…" she looked back up.
"If your life began in that cave then how did you figure out these "powers" you seem to have?" Cyborg put air quotations around the word powers, pointing out her clear act of heroism.
"Oh… Those?" she raised her eyebrows. "All I do is think about using them and low and behold… They work!" she put her hands up in the air and shrugged.
"I have discovered who the accomplice to my sister is!" Starfire shouted, from her spot handing the two criminals over to the Centauri Police.
"I wish I would have known they had a new Titan…" Blackfire growled, rubbing her head.
"Ya, you could have done a little more research!" the blonde haired girl next to her exclaimed. "You promised me they wouldn't be able to defeat us! This is the last time I work with you…" she mumbled.
"Who is it Star?" Robin inquired.
"An old friend of Blackfire and myself… She poses no greater threat than my sister…" Starfire informed the team.
"I'll be back!" Blackfire shook a fist at her sister as she was taken off by the alien police force.
"I'm sure you will…" Starfire sighed, walking over to join the rest of the group.
"I'm still confused…" Beast Boy scratched his head and squinted. "You have no memory but you just knew how to use your powers suddenly… I mean, this doesn't make any sense!"
"This is the girl that helped us to defeat my sister?" Starfire gestured toward the white haired teen.
"Name's Ghost…" she smiled, giving her hand to Starfire to shake.
"Nice to meet you!" she grabbed the hand and crushed it in her grasp.
"That's quite a grip." She cracked all her fingers and shook her hand out.
"You look strangely familiar…" Starfire squinted. "Have we met before?"
"I don't think so…" Ghost replied. "But who knows!"
"Hey, Star's right! I've seen those eyes! I just don't know where…" Beast Boy went back to his mulling.
"We can discuss this in the street all we want, but wouldn't we be more comfortable at the tower?" Robin glanced around at his team and Ghost. They all nodded. "Well obviously you can fly so…"
"Oh, right… Not enough space in the car. No problem I got it covered. I'll just follow…" Ghost shrugged, lifting off the ground.
"Shall one of us go with her?" Starfire questioned her leader once the girl was out of earshot.
"No, we need to have a group discussion on this…" he said, opening the passenger side door to the famed T-Car.
OoOo
"There is no way we can trust her." Raven told the team firmly.
"But she did just help us kick some butt back there. If she wouldn't have been there than-
"That doesn't mean she's trustworthy. Need I remind you what happened last time? It doesn't matter how great someone seems…" Raven sighed and looked out the window. "We're better off without her."
"I disagree! Just because someone did something wrong the first time, it should not mean that no one else gets a chance. That is simply not right!" Starfire gave her opinion of their awkward situation.
"Look man, we should see what she can do. Then we should let her stay for a while. But we can't tell her any top secret information until we know for sure we can fully trust her." Cyborg gave a good plan, but Robin wasn't so sure.
"I don't know. How can you tell if a person is genuine or fake? It isn't as easy as all that…" he glanced at the half robotic teen in doubt.
"You have to take a risk sometimes…" Cyborg turned the steering wheel around another bend.
"This is ridiculous! She can't join the team, end of story!" Raven could feel her emotions bubbling up and tried to calm down.
"Look Dudes! I may not know a lot about… Much stuff… But I think I have a handle on the whole "betrayal" thing. I was the closest one to Terra and I know just how badly I… We got burned last time, but I still think we should give this girl a chance! It's not fair to her if we shun her for someone else's actions!" Beast Boy screamed out to cease the argument.
"Beast Boy has a point… shockingly…" Robin mumbled. "We'll go with what Cyborg said but if anything seems suspicious…"
"Robin please don't do this…" Raven got as close as she could to begging. "Are you really willing to take that big of a risk?"
"I'm not saying she's joining the team. I'm saying I'm giving her a fair chance."
"It's the same thing," Raven spat, hunching down in her seat. "Here we go again…"
OoOo
"Seriously!" the girl yelped in joy. "You're going to let me stay!"
"No. Nothing is official. We're just going to give you a fair shot." Robin told her strictly, looking her in those baby blue eyes. They looked so familiar… He had stared into those eyes before.
"Welcome to our home new friend! Would you like one of the tours?" Starfire asked gleefully, hovering off the ground in her excitement.
"This place is so familiar…" Ghost whispered, fingering the couch.
"I got a question for ya. If you don't remember anything, then how do you know your name?" Cyborg arched an eyebrow.
"I don't. I came up with that when I found out about my powers... There was this one man though…"
"What did he look like?" Beast Boy asked, wary of who it could be.
"Well… He was wearing a mask. Black and orange I think… He called me something else… He said he had freed me." Robin's face stiffened along with every muscle in his body. Starfire gasped. Raven's eyes widened. Beast Boy's mouth fell open. Cyborg didn't know how to react.
"What did he call you?" Robin growled.
"I…I don't remember. Is everything…okay?" she whispered, afraid she had done or said something completely wrong.
"No." Robin stomped out into the long corridor which held the door to his room.
"Oh, please no…" Starfire whispered and her eyes grew damp with on coming tears. "He can not do this to himself again!"
"He can Starfire… and he will…" Raven spoke just above a whisper in a voice straining to keep out emotion. "But Robin's the least of our problems. If we're dealing with Slade then we've got life and death on our hands…"
"Man… Beast Boy wasn't trippin' when he said that he fought one of Slade's bots back at the carnival…" Cyborg looked at the floor with his normal eye.
"Dude, I told you he was back!"
"Slade…" Ghost let the name slide off her tongue in a faint whisper as a strand of white hair fell in front of her eye.
