Sorry this one took so long, I was gonna bring this out sooner, but then I had a family matter to attend to, not to mention I went on a short adventure of my own.
"Friend Raven?" Starfire asked, slowing her flying to a float. "What is it Starfire?" Raven asked, slightly turning around to show her features lacking interest.
"Doesn't it seem a little the odd that friend Nightwing also had scanned us?" Starfire asked, Raven, (although she didn't want to admit it) was also curious, he's known them for nearly as long as he's known The Team, but he still checked them, sure, he wouldn't have been able to trust anybody, but he should know that Raven would have been safe due to how strong her powers were, yet he checked her anyways.
"I don't know Star, I don't know." She said, as they heard a scream ring out. "That was friend Nightwing!" Starfire stated, alarm clear in her tone.
"FRIEND NIGHTWING!" Starfire screams as she, Raven, and Beast Boy enter the main room of Mount Justice, a familiar orange and black clad suit hunched over Dick's unconscious form, Beast Boy's eyes narrowed, as he shifted into the form of a Rhino, Raven preparing her magic, Star's eyes beginning to glow green.
"Slade." BB growled, running a foot across the ground preparing to charge at the intruder, Slade simply turned around, and unsheathed his blade, readying it for the attacks,
Starfire was the first to attack, lobbing starbolts at him, Slade simply used his blade to deflect them back at her, Starfire screamed as they made contact with her body, throwing her against a wall, unconscious without a doubt, Raven uses her magic to sneakily place herself behind Slade, raising her right hand her eyes begin to glow white, "Azarath, Metrion, Zinthos!" She screams, tearing the floor from the ground and throwing it at Slade, he ducks out of the way and throws shuriken at her, Raven summons a raven to stop them from hitting her, dodging out of the way when she sees Slade's blade coming down to contact with her, "Why are you here?!" She asked, once again dodging another incoming strike from the man.
"I want my apprentice back." He stated bluntly, kicking Raven back before lodging a set of daggers in her cloak, turning to face Beast Boy, who was now furious, "You won't win." He growled, shifting into a T-Rex, charging at Slade, Slade simply jumped atop him, surprised when Beast Boy threw his back against the wall. "You've gotten smarter." Slade stated, wiping blood from a cut he had received from his now partially broken mask, "But not smart enough." He said as he pulls out a detonator and pushes the button, an explosion ringing out from BB's back, as he fell to the floor.
"This is Deathstroke, I've got the target, bring me back." Slade pressed a finger to his ear enabling the communicator.
"Alright, preparing teleport back now." a voice stated, Slade and Dick disappearing moments before the whole team arrived, "Raven!" M'gann called out, rushing to the pale girl's side, pulling out the daggers holding her to the wall, Raven's eyes fluttered open before becoming alert and flying up to look around. "Where is he?" She asked, looking around the room frantically, M'gann wore a face of confusion as she stared after her teammate, "Where is who, Raven?" M'gann asked, Raven sending her a mental image, as her eyes began to widen.
"Who is it?" Mason asked, M'gann turned around slowly, eyes widened and fear present, at this point Garfield and Koriand'r were back up, leaning on Bobby was Kori, and leaning on Amanda was Garfield, the two of them slowly nodded at M'gann, letting her know that it was okay to tell them.
"It was Deathstroke, but us former Teen Titan's know him as Slade." M'gann said, eyes darting between Roy, Wally, Garfield, Koriand'r, Conner, and Rachel.
"Who is that?" Claire asked, hands balling into fists at her side.
"He's our nemesis." Was all Raven said before heading for the Zeta Tubes, the others followed her, not wanting to interrupt whatever she was doing.
When she reached them, she turned around to face everybody. "Starfire, Beast Boy, Kid flash, Miss. Martian, Red Arrow, and Superboy, let's go, we need an old friend." Raven said, opening up the Zeta Tube, the seven of them walking through.

"Where is he?" M'gann muttered to herself as she flew throughout the Watchtower, searching for a certain mechanical man, Raven had taken Starfire and Beast Boy, while M'gann had taken Conner, Wally, and Roy, they agreed to meet in the control room if they couldn't find him.
"Guys, we're having troubles finding Cyborg, I could have sworn he was here."
M'gann thought into the link she set up before they split up.
"We found him, we're bringing him back to the mountain right now, you're gonna wanna regroup with us, or else we'll leave you to the mercy of explaining to the League." Raven replied, at that statement, M'gann, Conner, and Roy, grabbed onto Wally and booked it to the Zeta Tube.

"VICTOR!" Amanda screamed, running up to give her adoptive brother a hug, Cyborg laughed fondly and returned it, ruffling her hair when he let go of her.
"Stop, I'm not a kid anymore!" she whined as she playfully shoved his hand away, gasping in surprise as Cyborg lifted her onto his shoulders, "Yeah, but you'll always be a kid in my book!" Victor said as he leaned back, allowing her to fall upside down, he then stood up to look behind him at Beast Boy, a huge grin appearing, "And what have you been up to?" He asks, Garfield grins, the two of them just staring at each other, like they're having a mental conversation, suddenly the two burst out laughing, this fact surprises everybody in the room, but the former Titans.
After the two of them calm down, Victor turns to Raven and takes on a serious expression, "What is this about, you don't come to me unless there's something urgent is going down." He says, his gaze shifting between the people in front of him, M'gann takes a step forwards, her gaze serious and expression angered. "Slade is back, and he has Nightwing."
At this Victor's one normal eye widened, he looked over at Raven to confirm, when she nodded her head his posture shifted from relaxed to concerned. "When?" He asks, turning back to M'gann, who simply showed him the mental image Raven had showed her.
"This is bad..."Cyborg murmured to himself as he turned and brought up the holo-computer. "Victor Slade, also known as Slade or Deathstroke, has been an enemy of the Teen Titans, has been since the very beginning,. he also had at one point a spy within our team who went by the name of Terra, we eventually figured this out and had a showdown, Terra in the end became good and sacrificed herself, turning to stone. that was the last we had seen of Slade for a long time, until he summoned Trigon," At this point Raven shivered, "Trigon managed to drain Raven of her powers, but she managed to get them back and take him down." Cyborg concluded.
Mason turned to look to Bart who wore a confused expression. "Wait- none of this happened in my timeline..." he said. Cyborg turned to him. "That is probably because this is a different timeline than the one you're from, one where the Reach didn't take over." Cyborg said, statement sounding more like a question.
Mason simply wrapped his arms around Bart and gently squeezed. "We'll find him B, don't worry." he said, gently kissing Bart's temple and rubbing the entirety of his arm. Bart simply nodded as he found the floor quite interesting. "What does this mean for Nightwing?" Amanda asked, uncertainty laced within her tone. Victor stared at the ground, as did the other three former core Teen Titans. "I don't know; he's only done this once before but that time he used us to make Nightwing, who was Robin at the time, do what he wanted... it's possible he's gonna has Psimon use mind control, nut he hasn't been seen since your team's mission to Qurac in the team's first year." Victor pulled up archived footage of the mission, M'gann winced as she saw herself comatose Psimon. "As you can see, this footage showed him getting mind blasted by M'gann, and we all know how bad those can get, and it seems that here she was going all out." M'gann suddenly looked extremely guilty.
Raven stepped forward, as did Koriand'r and Gar. "We'll get him back, just leave it to us." Raven said, turning and nodding to Cyborg. "let's go." She said, face looking stern and serious.
Sorry this took so long, I um... have been having a writers block, so that's why the chapter is shorter, and why the ending might seem rushed.
I hope to see you next time, and I'll try to get back onto my weekly schedule - PowerFan132
