The team returned to Titans Tower a few hours later, due to the fact that they were scattered all over Jump City looking for the villain. Raven used this time to prepare her guests for the meetings sure to follow their introductions. When the team arrived, no one could find Raven. They all went to the training room where Raven found them almost an hour later. Wasting no time, Raven ushered them into OPS and had them sit down on the couch.
Robin looked up at her. "Who are these guests?"
The others all nodded in agreement.
Raven smiled slightly. "One is a very old acquaintance of mine." Raven motioned to the edge of the room.
From out of no where, a woman, Raven's own age appeared. She looked exactly like Raven, but there was something different about her. Almost instantly, every male was practically drooling on the floor.
"Rae, I think your friends need a few slaps." The newcomer's voice was soft, gentle, so different from Raven's monotone, it had… emotion in it.
Beast Boy scrambled over on his hands and knees to look up at her, a begging look on his face. "Please… Please tell me your- OUCH!"
Raven stepped back having just slapped Beast Boy upside his head as the green changling lay stunned on the floor.
"I think… I think Cupid just hit me with his arrows…" Beast Boy looked up at the girl in awe.
The girl half knelt and looked Beast Boy in the eye. "You think getting hit was painful? Just wait till he yanks them back out."
"Shadow. That is enough." Raven turned to the others in the room. "This is Shadow. Because she appeared here at the tower, I am assuming you lost her at the battle."
The others all looked down in embarrassment.
Raven shook her head in exasperation. "Shadow, as her name suggests can control shadows. She can use them to teleport, and – SHADOW I SAID THAT WAS ENOUGH!"
The others looked around comically not understanding what Raven was talking about.
Shadow however sighed. "Fine… you do know you're no fun right sister?" Shadow snapped her fingers and the boys looked around their faces red with embarrassment.
"As I was saying you guys, Shadow can use her namesake to teleport, she is stronger in the dark-"
"-DUDE! Like a Vampire? Are you a Vampire?" Beast Boy's comment got glares all around.
"As fun as this is Rae, I need to crash." Shadow was looking a little weak as she spoke.
"Of course, I'm sorry. You can stay in my room." With that Raven opened a portal into her room and Shadow stepped through.
Beast Boy stared at the wall in shock. "She called you Rae… and… and she's still in one piece…"
"Raven, when you called us, you claimed to have guests. Plural. So far only one person has been introduced. Who else is there?" Robin's eyes were narrowed.
Raven sighed and looked back at her team mates. She motioned to the door which opened on its own.
A young man stepped forward. He had long, platinum blonde hair, so fine, it was almost white. On his chest was a piece of armor simply adorned with the letter M.
Raven smiled slightly as the man came up next to her and inspected her friends. "Guys? This is Malchior of Nol."
