INTRO

The Titans had gone to an old Navajo town and village in the southeast, having received word that Slade had been seen in the general area. The Titans wasted no time in heading down to try and find him and capture him.

They found him almost straight away after landing and gave chase and battle. No major damage was caused to the town, and the citizens weren't hurt, but the Titans had a really rough time.

Cyborg got bowled over by runaway rolling barrels of water, and Copy-Cat tried to engage Slade in hand to hand combat, with his battle claws, only to end up getting himself stuck as his claws sank hard into a wooden pole. "Ugh…! Uhn…! Curse these claws!" he groaned as he tried to pull himself free.

The girls didn't have much luck either, as all three of them tried to rush Slade at once, BAM! The girls all collided but somehow Starfire and Terra had captured Raven in the confusion. "I believe this is… wrong?" asked Starfire.

Terra nodded nervously, and Raven only could groan, "Why… me…?" and she fell down flat. "Ugh…!" she got right back up again when Slade's shadow fell over them. "Any last words…?" he hissed at them, but suddenly he got bashed from behind by a green rhino, sending Slade right into a trough of water. Beast Boy changed into his normal self, "How about give it up?"

Slade clenched his fists and leapt out from the trough. Now it was Robin who stepped up. "Come on…!" he snarled. "I'm ready for you, Slade."

Slade liked Robin's spirit, "But your overconfidence leaves you vulnerable."

They're fight commenced, and it was very fierce, but in the end Slade had escaped once again. The Titans were upset they missed him again, but the people of the village were overjoyed and happy for the heroes of chasing that evil one out of town. In gratitude, they would allow the Titans to stay for a while in comfort and hospitality. Robin accepted on behalf of the team.

They didn't plan to stay too long and would have to return to Jump-City. They couldn't leave the city unguarded for too long.

Cyborg hung out at bar and grill, and stuffed himself full of every kind of meat you could imagine. He was pretty much as fat as the pigs he ate by the time he was through, "Uhn… Boo… yah…!" he groaned in a low stuffy tone of voice as he fell over backwards and belched, much to the owner and customer's amazement.

Raven and Copy-Cat headed for the other side of the city where there were waterfalls flowing over rocks and into he river, and it was peaceful too. Perfect for meditation, and that Copy-Cat needed to give his sore knuckles a break form having his claws being stuck for so long.

Starfire of course, she couldn't resist going shopping, and as usual, Robin was stuck carrying her things. Her many… many… bags, boxes, and who knew what else. "Oh, husband…!" cried Starfire, "I must try on that outfit in the window."

Robin sighed that it would only be another bag for him to carry, but he liked it when his wife was happy, and he did this the outfit she was looking at would look good on her.

As for Beast-Boy and Terra, they were just goofing off in the vacant area of town, playfully chasing each other. "Terra, come back here." Beast-Boy teased. His wife just blew a raspberry at him and said "Ya gotta catch me."

They ran across the fields and over some rocks, even around a few trees. Terra was hiding behind some brush and Beast-Boy snuck up on her "Boo…!" His wife yelped and jumped, but Beast-Boy wasn't letting her get away this time. "I got you now, Terra…" he teased as he held onto her. Terra threw a playful fuss, but then the two were suddenly embracing each other and shared a deep kiss.

They were so lost in their embrace that they began fell down, still embraced, and rolled down the hill. It was rather a smooth roll-down, but suddenly they rolled right into a wigwam. It was rather dark inside, almost like being inside of a cave. "Where are we?" Terra asked.

Beast-Boy didn't know it was pretty empty inside except for a small fire pit with a small yet well burning fire in it… and there on the other side of the pit sat a lone red-skinned male dressed in a brown ragged robe. "Whoa! Sorry, dude… we didn't mean to..."

"There is no need to apologize." The man said. "The great fires told me I would be expecting guests, for they can see and foretell nearly everything."

Beast-Boy and Terra gazed at each other and felt as if they were speaking to one of those whacko fortune tellers who claimed a whole bunch of crazy things. "I think we should just go…" Terra said.

They turned and were ready to leave when the man told them, "You should never let the concept of Things that Change control your present happiness."

They stopped dead still unable to believe what they had just heard. This guy knew about their experience with Things Change? "Dude…!" Beast-Boy peeped nervously "How did you know that?"

The man smiled and repeated, "Like I have said… the fire... it can see everything. It can even show things that only might have been had certain events been altered or not. Although I am sure you and your wife need not know what might have been."

Beast-Boy and Terra gazed at each other again, and in almost no time they sat down by the fire themselves. "Tell us… please." Terra said excitedly. "We wanna know." added Beast-Boy.

The man smiled, but warned them one last time if they were certain. "After what you may experience, you may never feel or think the same as you do now, ever again." Beast-Boy and Terra still wanted to know.

The man bowed in acknowledgement, and then pulled a small pouch of powder out from his rose and grabbed a small hand full. He waved it over the fire while annunciating native words. Then he let the powder fall and the flames grew bigger.

A few moments of silence followed, and Beast Boy and Terra asked the man what he could see. "It is not what I see…" said the man, "But what the fire sees. Concentrate. Look into the flames and let them decipher what would have been your destinies had your love not been so strong."

Beast-Boy and Terra did as they were told and gazed deeply into the flames, keeping in mind not to get too close and blinding themselves. Suddenly, the flames flickered and waved at the top. The man gasped. "Oh my…!"

"What…?"

"What is it…?"

The man hesitated for a moment and explained. "It is horrible… The fire seems to be telling to you a tragic tale of sadness, anger… and a vengeance most foul that it would have brought… the end of all endings!"

Beast-Boy and Terra gasped softly, and then they were to watch the flames, "And all will be revealed to you."
