Revelation

Terra paced back and forth in the large hallway of the cave she was in. She had always felt safest when she was close to Earth, when she was able to feel its solid, warm touch. However no amount of its embrace could comfort her. Not with him being here.

"Why did I have to do this?" She kept asking herself. Sure, she was never able to fully comprehend her new Master's plans, but the last order she got during her battle with the last Titan was simply shocking.

"Why did I have to spare Robin's life? Why the hell did I have to bring him here?" The though kept haunting her. She had been so close, so close to getting rid of those pesky teen superheroes forever. And now their leader was lying in the next chamber. The blonde girl wandered what might her Master be doing there with Robin. Perhaps he was torturing him. A sinister smile appeared on her face as she imagined all the horrible agony Slade might put Robin through. She did not care for what purpose would he be torturing him. He deserved it. Too bad she hadn't captured the rest of the Titans. She might've had some fun torturing them herself, especially that arrogant witch.

"It is awfully quiet though. If Slade was torturing him Robin would be screaming," she thought. She leaned closer to the door separating the empty hallway she was in from the next room. There was absolute silence. She could even hear her own heartbeat. As far as she knew the room wasn't soundproof, and yet it was as if though there was no one in there.

"What is he doing there?" Terra was becoming nervous. She wanted to knock on the door. Perhaps Robin somehow escaped and defeated Slade. She shook her head at that thought. No one could defeat Slade, at least not by themselves. And Robin was unconscious when they brought him in.

"But what's going on in there?" Curiosity was eating her up inside, but all she could do was lean against the door, trying to hear something. Anything.

"Eavesdropping on me Terra?" a cold voice suddenly asked from inside. Terra immediately jerked away from the door. In the next moment it opened and a tall figure stood in front of her. She looked at him with frightened eyes, partially because of his sudden remark, and partially because of his menacing appearance. She tried to calm down as fast as possible so that she wouldn't appear weak in his eyes.

"I'm sorry Slade. I just wanted to know…"

"What's going on inside?" The tall figure finished her sentence. Terra nodded slightly.

"Let's just say our little…family…is soon going to grow a bit larger," Slade said. He watched Terra's confused look, but didn't care to explain. It wasn't the right time. Yet. With that he turned around and went back into the room, closing the door behind him. The young girl outside just watched in silent confusion. Her mind was racing, trying to figure out her Master's cryptic answer.

"And Terra? No more spying on me! Understood?" Slade said from within the chamber. This frightened the girl and she quickly went back to her own room. She lay on her bed and curled up. She didn't know what was Slade planning, but she had a very bad feeling about it. And she was afraid. Very afraid.

At the same time, in a cavern, hidden beneath the Titan's Tower

The alien girl sat on a cold rock. She was listening to the sounds the little drops of salt water made each time one of them fell on the floor. The darkness around her was broken just by the radiant green glow of a starbolt she held in her hand. She wandered where the rest of the team could be. Long ago, shortly after forming the Teen Titans, Robin showed them this cave. They had agreed that if something bad ever happened and they couldn't reach each other this would be the place they were supposed to meet. The Tamaranian pulled out her shattered communicator. Apparently the powerful impact of the boulder that hit her broke it. She was thankful it didn't break her back. Yet no joy came from that thought, as she didn't know what happened to her friends. Soon after waking up, washed ashore on one of the beaches of Jump City she came here. The Tower was empty, no sign of anyone entering before her. The communication systems of the Tower couldn't find the signals of the others, so she ventured to the cave below. She had hoped that her friends will show up soon. But as the hours passed, so did her hope start to fade away. She could not imagine what she would do if her friends didn't show up. Alone in an unfamiliar world, without help, facing an enemy who wanted to kill her. Suddenly she thought she heard something. She lifted her hand and the starbolt in it grew larger and brighter as she tried to find out the source of the noise. Soon the noises became louder and she was able to recognize two voices.

"See, I told you it was this way!" One of the voices said. It was rather high, almost childish.

"Yeah man. Is that why we've been wondering around in this maze Jump City calls sewers for hours?" The other voice replied with unforgettable accent. Starfire's face immediately formed a huge smile as she saw Cyborg and Beast Boy enter into the green light.

"Well excuse me for forgetting the right way! Besides, you are the walking high-tech computer here! You're supposed to have the map of the sewers, the streets and pretty much everything!" The green changeling argued.

"Do I look like I take trips into the sewers so I can make a map of it?" Cyborg replied.

"Well neither do I! Do you have any idea how horrible the smell of it gets, when I turn into an animal down here?"

"Can't be much worse than the way you smell,"

"Friends, you are all okay!!!" Starfire shouted in happiness as she flew to them and hugged both of them. At once. After a few moments of her bone crushing embrace she let go of them.

"Yeah, thanks Star. We're glad to see you too," Beast Boy said as he caught his breath and wondered how long he is going to have bruises from this greeting.

"Are you unharmed?" Starfire asked as she observed her friends.

"Mostly. A couple of my systems are damaged, but nothing I couldn't fix with the equipment in the Tower. And grass stain here is as okay as ever," Cyborg answered with a small smile.

"And what about you Star?" The changeling asked. Starfire's smile disappeared.

"I am fine. But I do not know what has become of Robin. And Raven has not come yet either," She said with weak voice, looking at the ground shamefully as if it was her fault. She felt a cold hand gently touch her shoulder. She looked up and saw Cyborg standing in front of her, his metallic arm being the one on her shoulder.

"Don't worry Star. I'm sure they're okay. We just have to give them time. After all, it took the two of us hours to get here," he said with a sincere, reassuring smile. The Tamaranian smiled back as well. He was right. Everything was going to be okay, as soon as the rest of the team assembled. They just had to give the remaining two members more time to get here. Yes, Cyborg was right. He had to be right…

Some time later, back in Slade's hideout

Terra woke up as someone knocked on her door. It seemed she had fallen asleep on her bed, tired by fear. As she got up she noticed her pillow was wet. She traced her fingers down her face and she felt the dried up tears. Someone knocked on her door again.

"Yes?" She asked with as confident voice as she could muster.

"Terra, I think it's time for you to meet your new colleague," Slade's voice echoed through the door. Terra got up and walked to the sink she had in her room to quickly wash away the remains of her tears.

"I'll be there in a second!" She shouted out as she wiped her face with a towel. And then it struck her. What colleague was Slade talking about!? She quickly finished and ran out the door. Slade was already gone, so she hurried towards the chamber he had spent the last few hours in with his prisoner. As she arrived she saw the door opened. She peeked in.

"Come Terra! I'd like to introduce you to someone," Slade said with his emotionless voice. Terra entered the room. The single blinding light on the ceiling formed a circle of brightness in the middle of the room, the rest of it shrouded in complete darkness. Under the light there was a large table with someone strapped to it and Slade standing next to the it. Slowly she came closer. As she got next to Slade she saw it was the leader of the Titans lying on that table. However the uniform he was wearing was totally different than the one he used to wear. Coloured black and orange, with several metallic plates of armour at the vulnerable points it resembled Slade's uniform more than anything. She looked at her Master with confusion.

"You mean…?" She tried to ask, but was unable to finish the question, fear gripping her heart. This seemed like a bad joke, like a nightmare. And yet it was real as she already knew the answer.

"Yes. Robin is going to be my other apprentice," Slade stated coldly.
