Richard exited onto the roof, followed by worried looking Kori.
Richard asked, "Well, Starfire. Why do you want me here?"
Kori gestured toward the edge of the roof. "Please remember that I am Kori here."
"You will always be Starfire to me."
Kori smiled then looked down. "This is very hard for me to do."
"What, Star?"
"Robin, I wish to no longer be part of the Teen Titans. I wish to resign."
Richard in a panic demanded, "What? Why? Did that other Robin ask you to join his team?"
Kori shook her head. "No. It is something terrible that I have done to you. I do not have enough merit to be associated with the Teen Titans. I am sorry."
Richard reached out and grabbed her shoulders. "You haven't do anything bad. What are you talking about, Star?"
"I have blamed you for the lost of Raven and Beastboy. For stopping me from going into Raven's room before they became Phoenix and the Beast. I no longer considered you a friend. Now I know that nothing you did affected the transformation of our former friends. I have doubted you. I have wronged you."
Robin sighed, "I have doubted my own actions, too. But Starfire, we need you on the team. I need you on the team. You always watched out the civilians in the area of our battles. You have saved so many lives. You are the heart of our team."
"But Robin, what can I do make up for my unfriendliness towards you?"
Richard wrapped his arms around her. "You can start by calling me Friend Robin. Ok?"
A shocked look came over Kori's face before she hugged him. With tears of happiness, she sighed, "Friend Robin."
Richard groaned, "I think you're at half hugging strength."
Kori pulled back and became more serious. "It's due to my sister's training. But Friend Robin, what are we going to do with the Beast and Bumblebee? Our new friends will be angry if any harm came to those two."
Richard looked out towards the city. "Well, Bumblebee may have considered herself a heroine-"
Kori interrupted, "She is not! I do not like her. I dislike her very much!"
"I know, Star. I know, but hopefully we never see her again. Bumblebee was on the other side of our war. If she is captured then we'll talk about that later."
"Friend Tara will not listen to talk."
"She will listen to me."
"And the Beast?"
"He will have to be taken back and stand trial. He went from a hero to a villain to a super-villain."
"But Friend Robin… I like saying 'Friend Robin'. Friend Robin, what of the observations of Friend Raven that the Beast was mind-controlled?"
"He had a choice. He always had a choice."

Mikron was hauled in between to redcoat robots and before Mad Mod who was sitting in his throne. His head was hanging down with no sign of consciousness. Slade stood to the left side of Mad Mod. A third redcoat robot brought in Mikron's backpack.
Mad Mod brightly spoke up, "Well, well, well, my ducky. What do we have here? A Teen Titan I see."
Mikron head lifted and he said with a smirk, "I'm not no Teen Titan. Now release me, King Snot-head."
Slade watched as Mad Mod commanded, "That's King Monty to you, junior. And why should I release you?"
"Cause I see both the teen barf-brains and Phoe-Dodo-nix as obstacles to what I want to do."
"And what is that?"
"Rob a bank, steal the next video game system, and steal some technology."
Mad Mod laughed, "Ha ha. I do like your style, but why should I trust you?"
"My friends and I had worked for Slade, over there, once and kicked titan butt out of their own tower. Right Slade?"
Slade paused and the smoothly said, "That is correct, but that was then. What can you do for me now?"
"I know something that the Advisor wouldn't want you to know."
From Mikron's backpack, a few wires stealthily snaked out and entered the forefinger of the robot holding the backpack.
Mad Mod, with an amused voice, said, "This little chap doesn't know a thing, Slade. Look at his knees shake in his knickers."
Mikron frowned. "What?"
Slade explained with an amused voice, "In British English, knickers are an undergarment worn by women."
Mikron face turned red with anger. "You'll pay for that, farts-for-snot breath."
The robot holding Mikron's backpack dropped the pack and swung at the head of one of the two robots holding Mikron. The fist impacted and craved in the right side of the robot's faced. The damaged robot released Mikron and started to shakily swing back.
Mikron used his free hand to start search the arm of the robot that still was holding him. The backpack, by itself, sprouted six spider-like legs. It leaped upon Mikron's back.
Mad Mod looked exasperated, "Now see here. Stop that, brat! Slade, stop him."
Slade said, "If you allow me full control of the situation then I will handle it to my satisfaction."
As two of the redcoat robots battle each other, the one still holding on to Mikron, swung at him. Two of Mikron's backpack spider legs swung up and parry the fist. Another one of the spider legs lanced into the robot's wrist and forced it to release Mikron.
Mad Mod finally said, "All right. All right, Slade. Do it your way."
Slade pulled out a small staff, which extended from six-inches into six-foot long.
As the one robot tried to smash at Mikron, the kid propelled himself into the air and landed upon its back. He started to open a plate on its back. Slade swung at the robot that Mikron was on and removed its head.
Mikron loudly complained, "Hey, I was going to use that."
Slade then speared one of the dueling robots. He yanked the staff and prepared to assault the last one.
Mad Mod quickly called out, "Hey! I still control that one."
Slade said, "Then stop it."
As Mikron faced Slade, Mad Mod called out, "Stand down."
The last robot came to a stop.
Mikron smirked, "Feeling lucky, Slade."
"Yes, I do, Gizmo, for you are going to answer my questions about what the Advisor doesn't want me to know. Then you can leave."
Mad Mod spoke out, "Hey, governor. You can't do that. He will give away the location of this here base."
Slade said, "The only people he could share it with are the Titans. He can go if and only if the information that he has is valuable."
Mikron grinned. "I have several pieces of choice information. First of which is Trigon is real."
Mad Mod said, "Cut the claptrap. That's just a fib that the Phoenix mob wants us to believe."
Slade said to Mikron, "I already know about Trigon. Tell me something useful."
Mikron mouth hung open in surprise and then he smirked. "How about some info on the Titans' newest allies. It's the Titans from another dimension."
Mad Mod exclaimed, "I've never heard such trash before. Where did you dream up this from?"
Slade said, "Go on."
Mikron grinned widened. "Don't interrupt me, King Sewer Breath. The combined titan teams have been trashing a lot of the Phoenix-bot. There should be less of those booger breath tin plated Phoenix Barbies. Every time a giant red or black ring appears on the island, a dimensional gate has opened and Phoenix and the all the Titans will be fighting. You're just a small side show in battles around the city."
Mad Mod steamed.
Slade said, "Keep talking."
"Well, the Phoenix bosses told their half-brain minions that they were stopping Trigon by dividing the him into small piece and giving those pieces to their followers."
Slade single eye drilled into Mikron.
Mikron sweated. "Well, it was all a big lie. Each one of those pieces feed power to Trigon."
Slade closed his eye briefly. "Anymore, my dear Gizmo?"
"No, nothing other than the barf brains titans from the other universe have their own versions of the Phoenix and the Beast."
Mad Mod exclaimed, "Bloody Hell!"
Slade said, "Gizmo, it is time for me to escort you out. Feel free to tell me anything else as we walk.

It was noon when everyone gathered outside of the Teen Titans Tower, except for the Beast.
Raven handed Starfire a black cube and a dark blue bag. Raven said, "This cube should help you find Phoenix's mediation mirror, Star. Remember not to touch the silvery part of the mirror, only its handle. You will put it into this bag."
Starfire said, "Yes Friend Raven. Jinx and I will recover the mirror of Phoenix's mediation. We will all return to victorious."
Raven had a slight smile before she noticed Terra was sadly watching them. Raven turned away. "Come back well, my friend Starfire."
Starfire squealed in delight and hugged Raven.
Raven annoyingly said, "You're Hugging Me!"
"Oh, sorry friend Raven", said Starfire as she released Raven.
Raven glanced back at Terra, but Terra had already walked away.
--------------------
Raven conjured, "Azarath Metrion ZINTHOS!"
The script on the obstacle course grounds leaked darkness into the air. The darkness flowed through the air, joined together and balled up. The ball flattened into a disk. The surface of the ripped and the disc became a ring: The Gate. Though the gate, the other dimension's Jump city can be seen.
Richard yelled, "Team One! Go!"
A couple of red beam blasts came out of the gate as a group charged into the black ring. That group consisted of Robin, Kori, Cyborg, Kid Flash, Speedy and Beastboy in green tiger form.
Jinx asked Richard, "You think they'll be successful?"
Richard replied, "They have to draw Phoenix's forces to themselves if our stealth missions have any chance of success."
