I meant to update! But school started and personal matters came up. On the bright side, my birthday is this week and I'm writing a book! I plan on it being at least 300 pages, which is one of the reasons why I haven't updated. Oh, and this will go to a lot of people's POVs.

Disclaimer: Own nothing but plotlines and characters.

Lacey's POV

Since Cy couldn't track down Uncle Nick, there wasn't much we could do except wait. Robin had already said that the day he let Gar and I go to him willingly was the day he stopped wearing his mask.

When the week ended, we all sat in the main room, wondering what was going to happen next. Teen Titans East had heard about all this, as had Jinx and KF, so they were waiting with us.

"If he does get us back, what will he do to us?" I asked Gar. He shook his head.

"He won't get us. That's a promise," Gar stated firmly. I smiled. That's when the computer turned on. Cy instantly started to trace where the call was coming from as Nick's face showed up on the screen.

"So you defy me?! Very well. Tomorrow, at noon, I'll be at the edge of town. Be there or I attack the city."

"Well, that was...interesting," KF said.

"He always was one for theatrics," I replied. "I'm tired. I'll see you guys later."

I left the room and curled up in my bed, silently crying. I didn't want to be seen as weak or scared. But I was.

Gar's POV

I faintly heard Lacey crying in the other room. I told the others I was going to go cheer her up, but I was really heading to Rae's room. A few minutes later, she arrived, and wrapped her arms around me.

"How are we supposed to fight our own flesh and blood?" I asked. Rae just shook her head. We laid down on the bed *mind out of the gutters* and just stayed silent for a while.

"When this is over, we tell the others, okay?" Rae asked. I nodded. We stayed like that for a while before falling asleep.

Bee's POV

Sparky stormed down to his garage. The trace had led to a library computer, and the video cameras didn't show anything. I watched as he started pulling tools off of the shelves and throwing them onto the floor.

"Sparks, talk to me," I begged. He groaned and sat on the floor. I knelt besides him and rubbed his shoulders.

"I can't do anything. BB's my best friend, and I can't even help him in a fight against his horrible uncle!" Sparky exclaimed.

"Yes, you can. By being there for him and Lacey, and helping them fight their own family member. Now, let's clean up this mess," I kissed Cyborg for just a second before leaning down to get the tools. I saw his smile and knew I'd done well.

Jinx's POV

"Man, I feel so bad for those two." Wally said. I nodded in agreement. We were in one of the guests room, talking about solutions.

"Yeah. We at least have the element of surprise. He won't be expecting Teen Titans East or us to show up," I replied.

"Good point. Promise you won't let some crazy family relative of yours ever kidnap you?" I ducked my head at Wally's words.

"I don't have any family. They're all dead," I admitted. He lifted my head and kissed me gently.

"Not true. I'm your family, and I'll always be here."

A/N: So, maybe mental battle prep? Point is, they'll be ready. Kitkat Out!
