Hey folks! I'd like to thank ya'll for the reviews that you've sent me, and tell you that the next chapter WILL be at least 7 paragraphs longer than this one. Otherwise I would've done it on this chappie but as you can see…it's another cliffy as one of my reviewers said. I'll update again just as soon as I can.

Raven latched the buckle on her belt as she finished slipping on her jeans. She was to meet with Garrett tonight and figured she'd cause less suspicion if she dressed like an actual civilian. She walked over to her full-length mirror and surveyed herself as she slowly spun around. 'Not bad for a Goth' She thought to herself. She'd dressed herself in a black long-sleeve shirt, blue jeans, black shoes, and the usual belt. It wasn't quite her uniform, but she figured that this was just about as close as she could get.
Just as she was about to open her door, Robin knocked. "Raven? You in there?"
She sighed and opened the door just enough to see through the crack. "Obviously." She decided that she'd prefer to keep her teammates clueless for as long as possible about her little get-together with Garrett.
"Hey, I just wanted to say thanks on behalf of the team for bringin' us back to the tower after the battle. Cyborg says that it took a lot of energy for you to teleport us all back in one trip."
Raven's eyes widened slightly as she began to think, 'How did he know? Was he awake when I teleported back?' Raven's heart began to beat faster as she continued, 'Did he see me with X?'
Raven's thought pattern was cut short when Robin continued as he saw her try to let her head rest against the door only to pull back with a pain-stricken face, "He also said that you might've hit your head."
Raven pulled her head further away from the door and looked past Robin; into the hallway. 'He must've been awake' Raven deducted. 'That's the only way he could've known.'
Robin noticed how anxious Raven seemed and asked, "You okay Raven? You look a bit nervous. Anything you'd like to talk about?"
Raven shook her head and told Robin that she had to go meet someone at the café and teleported herself to the tower entrance. She then leisurely walked around the corner of the tower to the Titan's garage. After she typed in the access code, the garage began to lift; revealing a number of vehicles. Among them were Robin's motorcycle, the T-Car, the T-ship, and a black sports car. This was Raven's car. She grinned as she opened the door to the car and sat behind the wheel. She then put the car in gear and drove towards the back of the garage. Just as she was about to the touch, the wall slipped upward to reveal a passageway that lead to the city. Raven sped up considerably as she raced down the strip of pavement.

Robin paced in his room quietly as he debated on what she had to attend to so suddenly that she couldn't finish the conversation. He stopped suddenly as realization hit him. It was a guy. She was going to meet a guy! Memories of the past conversations with Cyborg and the others came flooding back to him as the truth continued to unfold. No, this wasn't just a boy. Raven wouldn't go meet boys. She was going to meet a villain; going to walk into a trap. He raced out of the room and into the garage, barely taking enough time to say hello and goodbye to Beastboy and Starfire.
He hopped on his motorcycle and fired up the engine. Just as he began to approach the back wall, he noticed that Raven's car was gone. He then focused his attention back to the path ahead of him and sped away into the tunnel. He just hoped he wasn't too late…
