JoeyBon- Thanks for being my first reviewer! I love hearing comments and ideas from readers! I'm glad you like the story and I'll try to keep my updates at a fast pace!

"Are you making tea?" Mikako asked. Raven closed her eyes in frustration. The temptation to blast her was overwhelming but Robin already made it clear that she was a guest in the Tower.

"My mom used to make tea. She put lemon in it. Do you put lemon in yours?"

"No," Raven said flatly.

"What do you put in yours?" Mikako followed her around the kitchen like a puppy. Raven turned around, face to face with Mikako.

"Look. I don't like you. At all. If you keep following me around, I am going to hurt you. Give me space," Raven said very clearly.

Mikako took a large step back and smiled, "Do you put milk in your tea? That's common in England."

Raven groaned, "How do you know what people do in England?"

"Hm... that's a good question..."

"Ugh.. nevermind," Raven yelled in an aggravated tone, "You make these random comments and have no idea how they get into your head."

Mikako frowned, "I'm sorry... I'll try to remember..."

"No, you won't. You know nothing. A name and some random facts. You don't even know who you are!" Raven yelled.

Mikako's face got red with anger, "I am trying!"

"Try harder! How stupid do you have to be to forget your last name?!" Raven yelled back to her.

"At least I'm not some half breed!" Mikako screamed. Raven dropped the tea cup in her hand.

"Who told you that?" Raven said an a calm voice. She turned away from Mikako in fury. "Who told you that!" Raven yelled when Mikako did not answer.

"...I... I don't know, I just knew it..." Mikako whispered. Her tone was scard.

"What's going on? I heard yelling," Robin said, jogging into the room.

"Nothing," Raven said quickly picking up her tea up and wiping up the tea. She placed her cup in the sink and went up the stairs. Robin watched her leave and looked at Mikako, who stood in the kitchen with a hand held over her mouth. Sadness filled the young girls eyes as she looked to Robin desperately.

"I am really trying to remember... I don't mean to confuse anyone..." She whispered. Tears filled her eyes and Robin stood awkwardly, patting her back.

"She knows that," Robin said calmly, "Raven just has a bit of a temper."

Raven fell back on her bed in anger. Everything about that girl was annoying from her constant handstands to her high pitched, over excited voice. Raven closed her eyes and wondered how much longer she'd have to put up with Mikako. A soft knock came from her door.

"Go away, Robin," Raven called out.

As expected, her door slid open anyway and Robin walked in, "Want to talk about what's bothering you?"

"Sure. Mikako. That was a nice chat, now get out of my room," Raven complained.

"Raven, she's really upset. She's lost, and just as confused as we are. You can be a little nicer to her," Robin said firmly, "Cyborg did his best to determine her age, and she's the same age as you. I am sure if you gave a little effort you can be friends."

"Right..." Raven said sarcastically, "Bye."

Robin shook his head in frustration, "Just try, please?"

"Nope."

Robin turned away from her, "Raven... she doesn't feel welcome here."

"So maybe she'll get the message to leave," Raven argued.

Robin turned toward her again, "She asked me to come up here and find out why you hated her, Raven. She is confused and upset. You have no reason for making this any harder for her!" Robin left the room before Raven could answer. Moments later, another knock came.

"Robin, I don't want to talk to you."

"It's me, Rae," Cyborg's voice called through. Raven opened the door with her powers. Cyborg stepped in her room and took a seat on the edge of her bed.

"You okay?" Cyborg asked concerned.

"Robin yelled at me," Raven said, her voice was monotone but her brother like friend could tell it bothered her.

"I know..." Cyborg responded, "I could hear him from down the hall..." Raven choose not to answer, "Rae, I know Mikako is a little annoying but she's here, and she needs help. That's what the Titans do, Raven. Help those in need of help."

Raven nodded, "She makes random comments, like before she was telling me that only five people a year die in an elevator on average. How does she know that? If I ask she just repetes the question, 'how do I know that?' and then just shrugs and smiles."

"Rae..." Cyborg whispered, "Give her a chance. She's doing her best. Come on, let's go downstairs."

Raven stood up and followed Cyborg out of the room. Together they walked into the main room and Cyborg nudged Raven silently.

"Mikako... I am sorry I got mad at you...I didn't mean it," Raven said quietly.

"It's okay! Forgive and forget," She said happily.

"Nice saying," A familiar voice called from the screen. The Titan's turned to see Slade facing them, "Titans, it's been too long."

"What do you want, Slade?" Robin yelled angrily.

"I have an offer. If you give me the girl willingly, I won't have to fight you all. Otherwise I can assure you that your home will be left in ruins," Slade said clearly. Robin and Cyborg stepped in front of her defensively, "I'll give you time to decide."

The screen went blank and Robin growled in anger, punching his fist into the table, "Cyborg, triple- no quadruple the security in the Tower. I don't want the slightest chance of Slade getting in."

Cyborg nodded and heading toward the computer. Mikako stared at the screen.

"Do you recognize him?" Raven asked. Mikako shook her head.

"What's his name?"

"Slade," Raven responded.

"Why does he want me?" Mikako asked.

"...We don't know, but don't worry," Raven said, trying her best to be 'nice', "We won't let him come near you."

"He's going to destroy your home," Mikako cried. Raven rolled her eyes, She just has to make this nice thing difficult.

"We'll be fine."

Mikako sat down on the couch, watching Robin and Cyborg review the security measures, "Why can't I just go with Mr. Slade... that way your home won't be destroyed... your home is very nice. I don't want him to mess it up..."

"You can't go with Slade because whatever he wants with you is not good," Robin explained, "Slade is out to destroy the entire city."

"Robin," Raven said quietly, "Do you think Slade knows who she is?"

Robin glared at Raven for a long time. Ever since the time Raven connected her mind to his, she has had the ability to read his strong thoughts and he could read hers. Now was one of those times.

'Now's not the time," Robin though. Raven nodded and looked out the window.

"I'm scared," She stated quietly.

"Don't be, Slade is nothing we can't handle," Robin said confidently. Cyborg laughed but covered it up with a cough and Raven exchanged a look with Cyborg before she smiled. Robin pretended not notice. Sure enough, only a few seconds later, Mikako's attention was occupied by how nice the sunset looked over the water. Once again the girl was smiling and jumping around happily. Robin looked at Raven, who simply rolled her eyes.

"Come on, let's go up to the roof," Robin suggested. Raven nodded and followed him into the elevator.

"I'm sorry I yelled at you," Robin said once the elevator doors closed. Raven nodded.

"I know you are," Raven said calmly.

Robin laughed and shoved her arm playfully. Raven did not laugh with him, but she did give him a small smile. The elevator doors opened to the roof and Robin walked right over to the end of the roof and took a seat on the ledge. Raven sat down next to him.

"Sunset really is nice," Robin whispered.

"If you go all optimistic on me with your 'it brings the promise of another night' thing, I'm leaving," Raven said flatly.

Robin took her hand in his and leaned over, kissing Raven's lips softly. Raven pushed him off and stared at him for a minute, she opened her mouth to say something but got cut off by the sound of something exploding. Time was up; Slade wanted Mikako now.
