Chapter 3

Memories

Disclaimer: I don't own teen titans except Fate

Everyone watched as Fate made her way around the Titans living room. She seemed quite fascinated by her surroundings.

"Why are you all sad?" Fate asked. "I keep changing from indigo to black and back again. You want to tell me what's wrong?"

"We lost a member of the Titans," Herald explained. "Jericho's girlfriend and Ggnark's best friend Kole."

"You mean the girl who could turn herself into crystal?" Fate asked.

Jericho nodded.

"Give me you hand Jericho," Fate said. Jericho held out his hand, which Fate took. Slowly she closed her eyes and went into a trance. Jericho looked at the other Titans in confusion. What was she doing?

Fate's spirit made her way through Jericho's memories. They were just like a file.

"Come on," she murmured. "Kole, Kole, Kole. Aha, got it!" Fate opened the recent memory and stared into it.

"Jericho!" Kole screamed. "Look out!"

Jericho turned to see his father holding a laser gun at him.

"You're just like your mother Joseph," Slade said coldly. "Weak, pathetic. I don't know why we had you but now I don't have you any more." He pulled the trigger and the laser headed for Jericho's heart.

"No!" Kole screamed. She threw herself at Jericho, pushing him out of the way. The laser hit Kole in the back and then bounced back to Slade. His eye widen but then it closed.

"Finally," Robin said.

"Boo-yah!" Cyborg yelled as the Titans cheered.

"Everyone," Herald called. "Now's not the time to celebrate. Look." Herald pointed. Jericho was sitting on the ground with Kole's head on his lap. He shook her.

"Jericho," Kole said weakly. Jericho stared at Kole hopefully as she opened her eyes.

"I feel so weak," she said. "I…think…I'm…"

Jericho shook his head. No, he mouthed. No.

"Kiss me," Kole begged. Tears forming, Jericho gently kissed her then pulled back. Kole smiled.

"I love you Jericho," she said before she closed her eyes. Jericho stared as the tears rolled down his cheeks. Herald looked at the group then slowly walked towards him. Carefully Herald put a hand on Jericho's shoulder. Jericho looked at Herald, got up and quickly walked to Raven, carrying Kole's body. He tugged her hand, his eyes begging for her to heal Kole.

"I'm sorry," Raven choked. "I can only heal wounds. I can't bring people back."

Fate stared into the memory again and again but it fuzzy. She couldn't see the memory clearly. Slowly she returned her body.

Fate opened her eyes. She looked at Jericho and then the rest of the Titans.

"Raven might not be able to bring Kole back," she said smiling. "But I can."

Really? Jericho signed.

"The memory was fuzzy," Fate explained. "I couldn't see it properly. It didn't make sense. So explain to me, if she can turn herself into crystal, how did she die?"

"She customised her uniform a little so her clothes had little crystals on them," Cyborg explained.

"They were made from her hair," Raven added. "So though she died, the crystals reflected the laser back to Slade."

Fate nodded. "That makes more sense," Fate said. "And Jericho, if your father loved you, why did he try and kill you?"

He was furious because I teamed up with his enemy, Robin. Jericho explained. He trained my brother and sister to be like him but he couldn't train me. Said I was too stubborn. Our relationship went downhill when I was kidnapped and had my voice taken away.

"Well," Fate said. "Would you like me to bring Kole back again?"

I would love that more than life itself, Jericho signed.

"Yes," the others agreed. "Bring her back."
