The Titans have returned from the pizza shop. All seems well for now, and as they enter Beast Boy yawns, while he morphs into a sloth.
"I think it's time for me to hit the hay, goodnight guys". Beast Boy crawls into his room.
"I'll be shuting down as well, good work today everyone". Cyborg says as he heads into his room.
"I am also very exhausted from the eventful day we had, goodnight my friends" Starfire goes to her room, while yawning along the way.
"So… where can I sleep?" Vibroscream looks at Robin then Raven, and then back at Robin very confused.
"We have another bedroom down the west hallway by Beast Boy's room, you can stay there".
Robin responds as he heads to the couch to sit down.
"Okay well, thanks again for letting me stay here; it's been fun so far hopefully we continue to have an awesome time". Vibroscream grins then heads to his temporary room.
"Okay Raven, what do you want to discuss now?" Robin looks at Raven as she heads her way over towards the couch.
"I just think it isn't the best idea to trust Vibroscream so easily, especially with the return of Slade, it happened before with Terra, and look where it got us". Robin nods, and then looks back out towards the window.
"I know what you mean, but she was our friend, she was under his control, I mean she broke free and saved our lives. I understand that you could see it happening again, but I won't let it happen this time, we'll be ready for it".
"But how can you be so sure we can trust him?" Raven looks at Robin, and he looks back at her.
"I just don't see him having any connection to Slade, maybe when you get a chance you could read his mind, I do remember you have that power still".
"Yes, but it would be wrong to just intrude if he turns out to be our friend, and besides the only way I could the information we would need, would be to make physical contact, and you know I don't like that stuff".
"Yeah I know, maybe we should just wait this one out, talk about it with the others and just be ready for anything, we've overcome it before and we can do it again, I believe in this team, and we always have our other friends if we need anything".

"Awe yeah, time for another day baby!" Cyborg exclaims as he enters the living room.
"Morning Cyborg" Virboscream says, while reading a copy of The Jump City Herald, Beast Boy sitting on the couch playing gamestation, Starfire making breakfast in the kitchen, and Robin reviewing footage over the Slade robot attack. Raven has yet to come out of her room.
"Where's Raven this morning?" Vibroscream wonders, looking at the others.
"She usually stays in her room in the mornings, mediating or reading" Robin turns to him while he answers his question. "So umm Vibroscream care to tell us a little bit more about yourself?"
"Yeah of course Robin, what would you guys like to know?"
"Just anything you wish to share with us friend" Starfire adds in.
"Alright haha, well I guess it all started when I was younger, my parents were scientists and university professors, I spent the first 10 years of my life observing every scientific thing I could, and I was especially interested in sound and the effects it had on the world. However," Vibroscream sighs, and then continues "Shortly after my 11th birthday, my parents went out to dinner and left me at home by myself, I was mature for my age so I was fine by myself. I fell asleep that night, but I was later woken up by a police officer early that morning, my parents had been murdered by a common criminal. I was horrified, and from then on I swore to fight for justice, and make sure criminals paid for their crimes. With my advanced knowledge of sound, by the time I was 13 I created my Katana with sound infused powers. I also trained in hand to hand combat, and worked a bit with Black Canary in Gotham, that's where I learned about your heroic efforts and was determined to find you guys, I've been looking for people my age to fight alongside with".
"Well we are glad to have you as a friend Vibroscream, as long as your loyalty is there our friendship will be returned" Starfire says as she smiles and looks at Vibroscream.
"Yeah dude, we all have similar stories with our backgrounds, and we would love to share them with you sometime, by the way, I know Vibroscream sounds cool to the people and stuff, but do you mind if we call you Vibe around the Tower or something? I think it'd be easier for all of us". Beast Boy says as he morphs into a Tiger and roars.
"Haha no problem BB" Vibroscream looks back at him with a thumbs up.
The Titans alarm goes off. Robin looks at the screen and sees a female figure beating up cops and causing destruction to the whole city.
"Who is she?" Robin says, looking very confused and expressing anger to what he sees.
"Whoever she is, we have to stop her". Raven says as she comes out from her room.
"You're right Raven, Titans let's move out!"
Robin and the others head to city, when they get there it seems the conflict has died down.
"But, we just saw that entire destruction dude, what gives?" Beast Boy says, while morphing into a lion ready to fight.
"I know, Titans stand your grouuuuu" Robin and the others are blown back into a building, an explosion has just occurred and a girl starts laughing.
"Hello friends, I am here to play, so what game shall we play today?" the girl with blonde hair jumps downed dressed in a blue costume with twin swords ready to fight.
"Who are you? And why are you terrorizing the city?" Robin asks, gripping his staff, waiting any minute to strike.
"You can call me Ravager, so Robin what game shall we play? Risk or how about the game of Life… or death" she strikes quickly with her blade, robots from Slade's army start closing in making it more difficult for the other Titans to gain the advance on Ravager.
Cyborg grabs one, while get pushed back in the process, "Dang these guys pack more of a punch than usual". When he gets up a swarm of three more attack him, but he blasts his way through on the way to his friends.
Raven and Beast Boy have their hands full as well, Beast Boy morphs into a rhino to try and open up some space for combat, but is knocked down in the middle of his charge, Raven is more successful smashing boulders while chanting "Azarath Metrion Zinthos" focusing all her energy onto clearing the battlefield.
Vibe and Starfire are ambushed from behind by dozens of more soldiers, Starfire is pushed to ground, but prevails, blasting her green energy beams and defeating most of the mobs.
Robin and Ravager battle it out on top of a nearby bank roof, Robin thinking to himself, this combat style is very familiar.
"So how long have you been working for Slade?" He shouts, while throwing birdarangs at Ravager. "You fight a lot like him".
"Well, it's a sort of recent thing, but I have known him all my life, he is sort of like a father figure" she laughs at that comment.
"He's your father…" Robin is shocked to find this out, and is knocked off the roof into trashcans.
"Well, something like that, but it's been fun, until our next get together, goodbye sweet bird". Then, Ravager throws a smoke bomb, and disappears into the city.
"Ahhh!" Robin yells, while trying to get back up, "Why did I let my guard down! Titans we have to go after her".
"Robin are you at all hurt?" Starfire exclaims, always concerned about Robin's safety.
"Yeah Robin, I think we should more concerned with your life, you could have been killed!" Beast Boy says while looking very upset. Cyborg, Vibe, and Raven just stare at Robin while he struggles to get up on his feet.
"Let her go Rob, we'll get her in the future" Cyborg pats Robin on the shoulder.
"No!" Robin swats Cyborg's hand away, "We need to go after her, she is extremely dangerous!"
"I don't think you're in the best condition to fight now Robin, you need to rest, if you fight her right now you would probably get badly hurt or die, and that would be extremely stupid, I know you better than that" Raven says, trying to get some sense into Robin.
"Yeah, Titans lets go back to..." Robin passes out from the struggle.
"Robin!" Starfire yells, "It'll be okay Star we need to get him back home" Beast Boy then morphs into an eagle, while picking Robin up, and the Titans fly back to the Tower.
Meanwhile, Slade and Rose discuss the recent events, Rose walks in looking at her father, he turns around and smiles, "Good work Rose, I am very pleased with your performance today; Robin seems to be no match for you one on one. My robots also seem to be improving, thanks to you for obtaining the parts and plans from the Brotherhood of Evil's base in Paris. Once we are ready, we can begin to unfreeze the ones we see fit to complete Step 2, in order to help take over and watch the city burn." Slade laughs, while Rose steps forward.
"Yes father, I will learn more and more about the Titans, and with each battle I will begin to drive them apart from each other, ultimately leading to their doom and the destruction of the Teen Titans". They both laugh and Rose takes her leave.
Back at the Tower, Robin is trying to recover and is fighting a terrible dream. He sees a world where the Tower is burnt to the ground, fire everywhere, the bodies of his friends in the ashes and rubble of the city, he is running, trying to hide from it all, he hears voices, telling him he has failed the city. Then, the laughter of Slade pierces him, causing him to scream and awaken. When he begins to regain conscience, he sees all is well, with his friends surrounding him.
"Oh Robin I hope that you are not scared, I promise everything is fine" Starfire grabs Robin and gives him a big hug.
"Um yeah Star, I guess I was having a nightmare, I failed you all though, you were all gone and the city was gone, Slade got what he wanted and it wasn't pretty. I can't let that happen. Not now, not ever."
"Don't worry Rob with the Teen Titans here, nothing bad will ever happen to the city, Booyah!"
"Don't be too sure Cyborg we need to get stronger, we need to get faster; we need to stop Ravager, Slade and whatever else this world throws at us. We cannot let any of the bad things happen."
"We won't my friend" Vibe nods at Robin, "I promise as long as I am alive I will help you all defeat any evil in sight. But now, I think a mood changer is in order, whose down for a double feature down the street?" Robin coughs while he tries to laugh.
"Once I can get out of this bed I'll definitely be in". The rest of the Titans agree, and head off to the movies for the night.
When they finally get to the movies, Beast Boy sees a familiar blonde haired girl; he is in awe for a few seconds, as it has been about a year since he last saw her, since he was trying to move on from what had happened. He plays it cool and then doesn't make contact just yet, the Titans go into the movies, and enjoy the rest of their night.
A/N Alright, second episode done. The Titans finally are introduced to Rose/Ravager, and more conflict seems to be in store. A couple questions seem to arise; will Beast Boy make contact with Terra? Has she remembered who she is? Is she really Terra after all or just some one that looks like her? Will Robin and Titans learn of the plan Slade has in store? All this and more will be answered very very soon! Comments and suggestions are encouraged!
