"Okay, we have the blade, now how do we get it to Slade?" Beast Boy asked, sitting on the kitchen counter with an apple. The team had gathered in the living room to discuss strategy.

"We're just going to have to wait until he strikes." Cyborg said.

"We can't wait." Kellyn shook her head. "By the time he strikes he'll know we have Dante's blade." She looked like she hadn't slept in days. Her eyes were dull and decorated with purple crescents beneath them.

"Kellyn's right." Robin agreed from his seat beside her. "We need to take him down soon."

"But how will we accomplish such a task?" Starfire asked.

"That's where I come in." Caelestia said, emerging from the shadows. Beast Boy dropped the apple from his hand and Kellyn's eyes darkened. "It is true that I've been in contact with Slade."

"Why?" Beast Boy whispered. "Why would you do this to us Cael?"

"To protect you." She replied simply. "And this team."

"Why couldn't you just tell me?" Kellyn questioned. "I've never kept anything from you. I trusted you through everything and you couldn't tell me why you were meeting with him?"

"That doesn't matter now." Caelestia stated. Her tone remaining neutral. "The point is that I can help you. I can get Slade to you."

"How do we know this isn't a trick?" Raven questioned.

"You don't." She shrugged. "You're just going to have to trust me." Beast Boy slammed his hand down on the counter.

"And why should we do that?" He demanded. His face scrunched up as if he were in pain. "I've been defending you to everyone since I saw you with Slade and all you've done since then is hide and lie. Lied to me and Kellyn." He stood and approached her. "I wanted you know you were on our side. I wanted to trust you!"

"Beast Boy please clam down." Starfire reached out to him.

"Don't tell me to calm down!" He snapped. "She deserves all of this."

"Garfield." Caelestia said, her tone remaining. "I understand you're upset. You're hesitance to trust me."

"We told each other everything." She saw tears glistening in his eyes. "We were best friends. What happened?" He saw something snap in her as he yelled.

"The Doom Patrol happened." She spat. "You abandoned me Garfield. You left me behind and then they all died. So don't ask me what happened to us because you did it."

"I-I didn't know leaving would cause you to hate me so much." Beast Boy immediately stepped back, his face dropping. "You told me to go. You wanted me to leave. I left because you insisted you'd be fine without me."

"Of course I told you to go." The normally composed girl looked on the verge of a breakdown. "What kind of friend would I have been if I told you to stay behind and not be the hero you wanted to be? Who would you be right now if I had been selfish?"

"If I'd known this is what would happen to you if I left. I would have stayed." He reached out to her and she flinched away. For the first time ever, both he and Kellyn saw a broken shell of Caelestia. There were tears in her eyes she tried to fight back.

"You were the only one who saw who I really was." She whispered. "I just wanted to protect you Garfield. I didn't want you to give up what you always wanted."

"What would make you think that I wanted a life away from my best friend?" Beast Boy looked defeated.

"I spent every moment since they died working to protect you. To make sure they didn't come for you too." She sounded defeated. "I wanted to look for you. But I couldn't until I knew it was safe." She finally allowed herself to let him wrap his arms around her. "Now I know it's not going to be safe until Slade Wilson is dead."

"What do we do?" Raven asked. Caelestia pulled herself away from Beast Boy and swiped a hand over her face. As if putting on a mask and returning to the stoic girl.

"We need to draw Slade out of his hiding spot." She said. "He knows it better than we ever will. I've been scoping out the place for years and I still don't know it as well as him."

"We can't get him here." Robin said. "He'd never fall for it."

"That's why we have to lead him somewhere he thinks he'll have the upper hand." She almost smirked.

"You can't be serious?" Kellyn asked. "You want us to lead him there?"

"We don't have another choice."

"Where are we going?" Cyborg asked.

"It's an island off the coast of China. He was trapped there for years. We have to find a way to get him back there."

"No. We're not going to Lian Yu." Kellyn shook her head. "Not after last time."

"We were alone last time." Caelestia acknowledged. "I've already contacted the Arrow. He's happy to give us a hand. Anything to get rid of Slade."

"You're suggesting a team up with the Teen Titans and Team Arrow?" Robin asked.

"She is." Kellyn confirmed. "I don't know if you remember. But our last mission with them almost ended in you and Oliver killing each other."

"That's why I contacted Felicity. He'll be good." She promised. "Now get ready. We leave first thing tomorrow. And Kellyn." The sage haired girl gave her a quizzical look. "I need your charms. I need to strengthen them if you're going to be using the blade."

"Why do I have to do it?" She questioned. "Why can't you?"

"You're the only one who can use it. It's your mothers blade it will only answer to you." She looked over to Robin, playing with her ring. He put a hand on her knee and nodded.

"Okay." She pulled the ring off and unclipped the necklace, placing them both in her hand. She felt a hand on her shoulder and turned to see Raven, a small smile on the empaths face. A silent promise from the two heroes that they would keep her sane.

"We have no time to lose." Cael announced. "Get what you need and get some rest. We fly to Star City tomorrow. Raven, Robin, I see you've got Kellyn under control. Try to keep her from having a meltdown tonight. I'll need time to strengthen the charms."

Robin smirked. "Titans, Go!"

I can explain! No I can't I suck at keeping up with these stories
