'thoughts'

"phone speech"

"regular speech"

While they were running, Talon descended toward Krystal and Kaitlyn, "So. Do you guys have any boyfriends?"

Kaitlyn giggled, "We try but because of our positions, it's either the boys want our money or status. Sometimes either Ashley or Toka scare them away."

Static was on the two's other side, "Toka?"

Krystal smiled, "Not only do we have dinosaurs on our planet but dragons, unicorns, sea monsters, the whole nine yards on mythical creatures. Toka is our pet dragon, miniature dragon."

They nodded as Raven looked at Krystal, "So you can do magic?"

Krystal nodded as the T Tower came into view. Krystal narrowed her eyes as they stopped. Brandon looked at her as she kept on staring beyond the water to the other side.

"What's up sis?" he asked as everyone went inside. The only people out were Raven, Ebon, Brandon, and her.

"I sense someone on the other side," she said, "he came into contact with Robert but not much. I'll check him out."

Before anyone could say anything, she teleported and appeared behind a tall man in a black suit with some metal plating. He also wore an orange and black mask. He was so interested in the direction of the Tower, he didn't noticed Krystal behind him. She tripped him and pinned him to the ground. she saw that the mask only showed one eye and it was wide in surprise.

"How did-"

"Save it," she ordered, "Who are you? What connections do you have with Robert?"

His eye became normal as he replied, "My name is Slade. And my connection to him is that he is my enemy."

"Don't listen to him," yelled Raven, "He's probably working with him."

Slade glared at Raven, "I'm not lying, Raven. Not when that boy wants to kill me."

Krystal got up and walked toward the water's edge. Raven became frantic.

"He can't be trusted," she yelled, "How can you tell that he isn't lying?"

Krystal faced Raven, "Telepathy."

Raven became speechless as Krystal made an ice walkway all the way to the Tower, "You might want to warn your friends. I get easily annoyed when I have to explain my motives multiple times."

Raven nodded and took off. Slade stared at Krystal before he followed her. He turned around and saw the ice melt. He faced Krystal and saw her staring at him.

"What did he originally wanted from you?" she asked.

He narrowed his eyes, "He wanted my people to help him in his quest for world domination. He said that it didn't matter if I joined him or not."

She became thoughtful as she continued her trek, "So he wants an army to do this. Hmm. That means that there are people that will probably get in his way."

When they hit land, everyone was there waiting. Robin had a pissed look on his face when he spotted them.

"What is your problem?" he demanded, "Slade is our enemy and you just let him have access to the Tower."

"Did he give you a reason for why he was following us?" asked Static.

Krystal nodded, "Robert wanted to kill slade because he wanted to control his men."

Everyone's eyes became wide, "HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT HE ISN'T LYING?"

She sighed, "Might as well that we sit down for this."

They walked into the main room of the Tower and sat down on the couches.

Krystal stood up front, "Okay, lecture time on Dracos. You see Dracos have the ability to tell the difference between a lie and the truth. It involves the frontal lobe, yes?"

Static raised his hand, "Hey man Gear and I need to head back to Dakota before it becomes late."

They left out of an opened window. Krystal and Starfire laughed when Beastboy said something along lines that they acted like they were in school.

"Anyway," Said Krystal, "this ability involves the frontal lobe which is where Dracos gain their ability of telepathy. This ability gives Dracos the power to tell if someone is lying. If they are, the Draco gain a splitting headache which makes the Draco irritable. Any questions?"

Raven raised her hand, "Is this an ability that only purebreds have?"

Krystal shook her head, "50% and up can do this."

She was met by confused looks so she sighed, "I'm known as a 75%, Brandon 50%, and Kaitlyn is a 25%. Any more?"

She was answered by nodding of heads. She nodded and the Titans showed everyone where they would be staying. Krystal and Ebon bunked with Raven, Brandon with Beastboy, Talon with Tera, and Kaitlyn with Starfire. No one wanted Slade so he stayed in the living room. Krystal layed in the hammock that was Ebon(he offered amazingly) and couldn't sleep. She got up and silently went for a walk. She didn't walk two steps down the hallway before someone grabbed her wrist. She turned and saw Ebon.

"What are you doing up?" they both whispered, "You first."

Krystal sighed, "I couldn't sleep so I'm going for a walk."

Ebon nodded, "I'll come with. I got some questions for you."

She shrugged as they continued walking, "If it involves your element, I don't care."

He nodded, "How long did it take for you to learn it?"

"The dark?" she said, "Oh, I say about three to four years while I was learning other things."

He nodded, "What was the first thing you learned?"

She smiled, "Shadow Travel, Shadow Sense, and Dark Strike."

He looked at her confused so she answered, "Shadow Travel allows the user to travel by the use of their shadow. Shadow Sense lets the user to sense other shadows. Dark Strike is a basic attack that involves shadows."

They came across a training room and heard someone in there.

They peeked (by shadow) and saw Robin punching a 225 lbs. sand bag.

He grumbled, "How can she bring something like Slade here? Doesn't she know that he is a criminal? Everyone else is on edge but Starfire. Why does Starfire trust her so much?"

Ebon noticed that Krystal was absent so he went to look for her. Using his shadow powers, he sensed that she was on top of the Tower so he went there. He saw her standing by the edge holding herself so he went to her. She jumped when he touched her shoulder. She look into his eyes before turning away. He saw pain and sorrow in her eyes and he felt sad.

His eyes widened. Him sad? That wasn't possible. He was suppose to be ruthless and not to have any connections with anyone. 'Am I becoming soft?'

She shook her head slowly, "Not in my book, Kage."

Ebon froze and so did she. They looked at each other for a long time before Krystal blushed and looked away. Before Ebon knew it, he wrapped his arms around Krystal. She tensed before she relax into his embrace. They stayed like that till it was dawn.

H.A.: Is Ebon starting to develop feelings for Krystal? Why does Starfire trust Krystal so much? Is Slade going to make up for his bad deeds? Hey, I'm just a homunculus halfbred writer so don't hurt me.
