Sorry about the title change everyone. I didn't like the restrictions it gave me. I also thought I might use it later...

QuietHermione: I don't plan on using the numbers, too much typing. Thanks for the reviews.

This is the last completely serious chapter before a major fluff plotline. Please review, I want to know if this is actually worth my time.

Disclaimer: I own nothing but my tin whistle and my magic hoodie.

She blinked and everything was back to normal. Except that they were now on the couch, instead of standing in the kitchen.

"What the?" Robin did a double take. Looking from the spot they had been standing in, to where they were now.

"We were talking." Thyme said in a matter-of-fact way.

"I guessed. But, how did you get over there?" Robin moved to sit next to them, Starfire following.

"I wanted a private conversation, so I stopped time for a bit." She spoke as if this was a normal occurrence and that he shouldn't be surprised at it.

"What were the two of you conversing over, that it would need to be kept secret from everyone else?" Starfire sat down next to Robin. Raven turned to listen from her stool.

"I think we should wait till Cyborg is here too." Beast Boy stated, seeing how nervous Thyme was. There was a silence for a moment, no one objecting, but no one willing to change the subject.

Finally Robin spoke. "I was wondering Ty, can I call you that?"

"Uh, sure."

"I was wondering if, when you're ankle is better, we could run you through the obstacle course, see if you are Titan material."

"What do you mean? Of course she is Titan material!" Beast Boy blurted out.

"I'm not sure that it's a good idea." Ty said, ignoring Beast Boy's blurb. "You don't understand my power. It's too dangerous to use on some course. I could end up destroying the tower or something."

"You said we wouldn't have any major consequences if you stopped time. Why are you so worried?" Robin didn't understand.

"I'm not just able to stop time. I can do other things too."

Cyborg came in at that moment. Beast Boy nudged Thyme with his elbow.

"I have something to tell you anyway." Suddenly she felt so alone. All of them seemed to shrink away from her. How could she make them understand? How could she make them see that she didn't mean to do this? She remembered her promise to herself; she would have to tell them. If she were going to trust them, they would have to trust her.

"I… I'm," She froze. This was too much. She couldn't put the burden of her troubles on their shoulders. They didn't deserve that. Then she felt Beast Boy's hand slip into hers. The warm feeling of human (she guessed) touch was enough. She gulped back the lump in her throat. "I'm pregnant."

Raven, Cyborg and Starfire's mouths were dropped open in shock. None of them were expecting this. Robin's expression didn't change, and the one word question that slipped past his lips was abrupt and gritted. "Slade?"

Ty just nodded, Beast Boy took his hand from hers and wrapped his arm around her. She winced, and he backed off. Thinking quickly, he changed to a large dog and laid his head in her lap. It was more comforting than he had hoped. She had always liked animals.

"May I ask why you participated in the human ritual of 'Love' with such an evil man?" Starfire wondered.

"He forced her Star." Raven pointed out in her monotone voice. "Why didn't you say something earlier?"

"It's not something you talk about over pizza after you've just met." She attempted a joke as she pet the green dog on her lap.

"But how? How long have you known Slade? Does he have some plan for this? Where is he hiding, do you know? What did he want from you?" The rapid-fire questions that Robin was throwing at her made Thyme's head spin.

"Um, he kidnapped me and held me hostage. About a year. I have no clue. I was blindfolded when he brought me here, I couldn't lead you there if I wanted too. I don't know." She fired back at him after her head cleared.

"Well, what's done is done. Now we better take you to a doctor or something, so that we can make sure you are alright, you know." Cyborg took a step towards the door.

"No! I can't." Ty jumped up, wincing at the pain in her ankle.

"Why not?" Almost every voice in the room spoke at once. Ty didn't know what to do. She didn't have an answer.

Beast Boy switched back to his ordinary self. "She has a thing against hospitals." He seemed to always have the right words when it came to her.

"Well, you will have to go some time. To make sure you and the… baby… are healthy." Robin almost seemed nervous at the word "Baby" it just barely slipped past his lips.

"Unless you plan on, you know…" Raven waved a hand in Ty's direction.

"No. I can't get rid of it. For several reasons, one: I don't believe in that. I think it is wrong and that every life deserved a chance. Two, well, two is more complicated." She looked at her feet. "Can we talk about two later?"

"Sure. But you still need to go to a doctor, and then I need to call a friend and see if he can take you in." Robin got up and walked towards the kitchen.

"What?" Beast Boy jumped. "Who? Why?"

"We can't have her here. She is a magnet for Slade, and we don't have the power to protect her." Raven said. "Plus we can't have a baby around, especially one that's Slade's. Who knows what he has done to her."

Ty felt uncomfortable with them talking about her as if she wasn't there. She had been ignored enough with Slade. "Look, I don't want to have this conversation right now, ok? I just want to hang out. Maybe you guys could show me around your city. I didn't get to see it yesterday."

Cyborg walked over to the door, "I'll go get the car." He seemed just as uncomfortable as she was.

Ok. So it wasn't my best Chapter. But I need to buy myself some time before the next few. They need work...
