"Hola Senor Cyborg!"

Mas y Menos zoomed into the Titans Tower running around with immense speed like young children in a candy store. They were touching and poking at everything that they could in the large common room. They opened the fridge and searched for snacks which Changeling did not allow. In a quick minute, he shewed them away.

"Sparky!" Bumblebee came in and gave Cyborg a big hug. She slightly blushed when she felt Cyborg's strong mechanical hands wrap around her waist.

"Bee, I'm so happy you guys made it."

Speedy and Aqualad cooly walked in. Aqualad had a small smile and lightly hugged Starfire and shook Nightwing's hands as well as Changeling's. Speedy simply nodded and combed his short, orange hair.

"We'll show you your rooms," Nightwing stated. Aqualad and Speedy followed Nightwing, grabbing their bags, ready to relax.

"Oh, Bee! I am excited to see you. I was beginning to get lonely from the lack of females in the tower." Starfire hugged Bee in her tight, bone crushing hugs. Bee smiled but could feel her cheeks turning red from the lack of air and pain.

"It's. good. To. see. You. too." Bee muttered, patting Starfire on the back.

Starfire dropped her and had an even bigger smile. "We shall go to the mall, do each other's nails, do the gossip and -"

"Starfire, it's great that you and Bee will hang out, but we have to remember that we have a mission and that's finding Raven," Cyborg said, interrupting the girls' rambling thoughts.

Her face fell slightly. She was so caught up in their visitors that she forgot about Raven's absence. She had a small smile, but her eyes showed sadness as she nodded in agreement to Cyborg's statement. "Of course, friend. With the help of Titans East, we shall find Raven in the no time."

Changeling stopped his eavesdropping on the others and looked at the Spanish speaking twins. They were sitting on the floor, messing around the many video games he and Cyborg owned.

"Hey! Don't mess with those, you'll scratch them!" Changeling took the games from the boys in a hurry. He saw their disappointing faces and grunted. He liked Mas y Menos, but sometimes he felt like a babysitter to them.

Changeling flopped onto the couch in front of them and opened the video case, holding the game."Ok, look, how about I show you two how to play."

Mas y Menos brightly smiled and nodded their heads in agreement. They knew that the Titans barely understood English.

Changeling gave the boys each their own control and started the basic racing game. He leaned back again and looked at the twins. They obviously had no experience with video games. Mas held the controller upside down and Menos was simply pushing buttons, seeming to be more fascinated by them than the actual screen in front of him. Changeling gave a small chuckle. They reminded him of the time he tried to teach Raven how to use the controllers years ago. He sighed

and snapped back into reality to focus on the twins.


Slade rummaged through the closet of Raven's bedroom. He cursed to himself when he saw nothing but uniforms and shoes. He was already fed up that he had to look for this item, but she could have at least told him where to find it. He made sure to put everything back the way he found it to make sure there was no suspicion.

He leaned forward and looked into a drawer that held her bras and underwear. His curiosity got the best of him. He took out a purple lace bra that had a small black bow in the middle of it. He was not surprised at how big it was. He's seen and even felt for himself how big her breasts are. He took out a matching pair of underwear that looked almost like a thong. He blushed and quickly placed it back with the thought of Raven wearing it. He went back to serious mode and continued his search.

Slade looked underneath her bed and touched something that was cold. He gave a sigh of relief when he saw the purple mirror with the chakra at the top. He instantly knew that this was the mirror she was talking about. He looked at his reflection in the mirror and shrugged. He didn't understand what the big deal of this mirror was, but Raven works in mysterious ways.

He placed the mirror delicately in the small black bag that he brought with him. He was scared to break it as he felt its cold power just from touching it.

Slade was about to walk out when he heard footsteps approach the door. He cursed and looked around to find a hiding spot. It was the afternoon so the sun was out and no dark spots to hide in. Slade quickly opened her closet and stepped his large body inside. He closed the sliding doors in the nick of time.

The door slid opened and Slade could hear the voice of Cyborg and Bee.

"This is Raven's room."

"Wow." Bee looked around the room, taking in the dark sorcerer's area. She could feel the tension around everyone in the tower, and it made her uneasy herself. "I can definitely see Raven sleeping in here for sure." Bee looked back at Cyborg and saw him looking down with a frown. Her eyes softened. She cupped Cyborg's face with her hands and leaned against him. She wiped a single tear that ran down his face. Seeing him so broken wanted to make her cry,

"Sparky, don't give up. We're going to bring her back." Bee gave a small smile and hugged Cyborg tightly. He embraced the hug eagerly and silently sobbed on her shoulder. He tried hard to not show his emotions to his teammates. He didn't want them to see him breaking as well. Someone had to stay strong for them, so he took the job, but finally letting his pain out to someone gave him relief.

Slade stood still in the closet. He knew that they wouldn't find him in there, but it still gave him chills. He heard Cyborg's silent cries, but he didn't feel bad for what he did.

Bee and Cyborg eventually left the room, closing the door behind them. After a few seconds, Slade walked out. He had no intentions of staying in the Tower any longer. He had a mission coming up and needed Raven for it. Hence, he needs to begin preparing her for it.


"Here."

Slade lightly threw the bag at Raven who sat on her bed meditating. He went to the small desk near the door and took a seat, staring at the beauty in front of him. He couldn't lie that he was starting to develop feelings for her and a liking to her body, but he had to keep things business.

Raven gave him an annoyed look when she felt the force of the bag against her leg. She opened it up and gave a small smile when she saw the mirror. She made eye contact with Slade and gave him a quiet "thank you."

He nodded but stayed in his seat. He didn't forget what they did in the gym. If anything, the urge to take her there on the bed was gnawing at him. He shook his head and got up to leave. He had to get away before he did anything he would regret.

Raven paid no attention to him when he left. She was happy to finally have her meditation mirror in her grasps. Her emotions were going crazy in her mind. She could feel it. There was something going on between her and Slade and she had to figure out what it was.

Raven looked at her reflection in the mirror. She feared that her not having powers would hinder her going into her mind, but she had to try. She closed her eyes, saying her chantra. After saying it slowly three times, her eyes opened, completely encased in blackness.


"Sir, mind I ask what is going on between you and Miss Raven?" Wintergreen placed a cup of tea on the kitchen island in front of Slade. He poured himself a cup and sat across from him. Wintergreen was not only a butler to Slade but also a long friend. He cared for the wellbeing of Slade.

Slade simply stared at the tea, not feeling like taking off his mask to drink it. "Nothing is going on Wintergreen." He said while leaning back.

Wintergreen gave him an unbelieving look. "You humping her in the gym does not spell, 'nothing' to me."

Slade gave a laugh. He felt embarrassed that Wintergreen walked in on them, but he didn't care too much. Wintergreen has seen him in worse situations. "You are correct, but I cannot say what is between us."

Wintergreen took a sip of his tea and mumbled, "It seems like you both have an attraction towards each other."

Slade heard his comment and shrugged. "I'm a man, and she's a female; we both have desires that each of us could fulfill."

Wintergreen could tell Slade was smirking underneath his mask and gave a small smile. Their conversation reminded him of teenagers talking about a crush. "It is possible that you could have created a liking towards the young female."

Slade didn't answer the comment. He too believed that he was starting to grow feelings for Raven.

Wintergreen continued, "And she might have feelings for you as well."

Slade quickly looked up. He agreed that he had a crush on her, but he didn't believe that Raven liked him back.

"That's nonsense, Wintergreen. She can hardly stand me...and sometimes I can't stand her."

"While you are locked away in your office doing work, I get opportunities of talking to her. It isn't much, but it's enough to give me some accusations."

Slade was now interested. "What did she say?"

"Like I said, she did not say much. If anything, it's more of her bodily response."

"What do you mean, Wintergreen?"

"When I was preparing dinner the other night, she seemed quite bored wandering around the house, so I asked her to help me. She would ask me questions about you. What are your plans? When will she return home?"

Slade felt a small tinge of pain in his chest. He knew she didn't want to stay here with him any longer and wanted to be with her friends.

"However," Wintergreen continued, "when I said some things about you, she would lightly blush or shift her feet as if she was shocked or somewhat pleased to hear the information."

Slade didn't bother to ask anymore questions. He felt a little relieved to hear that she was intrigued by him. "They are just accusations, Wintergreen. We don't know for sure. I need to keep things business. My past with women is not great, and I don't feel like adding another one to the list."

Wintergreen took his empty cup of tea and Slade's cold, untouched one. "Whatever you wish, sir, but she does seem like a nice young lady for you." Wintergreen looked at him and gave a smile.
