*I had a little fun writing this. I kept calling it the sleepover scene in my head haha. You'll understand why. ;)*

*For Joel*

Reunion

Garfield sat across from Charlie in shock, his mouth gaped open. "Dude…this is…surreal." He glanced down at his hands, unsure of what else to say.

Charlie nodded, taking a sip from his hot chocolate. "Raven's in trouble…and we need to help her. Now."

The former stood up and walked toward his small living room. "I'm calling Vic. This is very serious and he needs to know…do you have any idea where she might be?"

He shook his head. "I don't know…she talked the way someone in a mental institution would talk…"

Garfield shrugged as he dialed Vic's number and waited for him to pick up. Moments later, the green changeling was communicating Cyborg, "Yo Cy, we have a problem down here…no, no, nothing like that…it, well…it involves Raven." There was a long silence before Garfield cleared his throat. "Remember Kilowatt? He's here with me right now and he was communicating with Raven earlier…yeah, he was erased from history from his own dimension and," Charlie heard that he was cut off. Before he could ask anything, Garfield came walking up to him. He held the phone out to him. "He wants to talk to you," he said.

Charlie took the phone and held it to his ear. "Vic?"

"Is this really Kilowatt?" he asked a little apprehensively.

"Yes…it's really me…" he said sincerely.

"Man, it's been a while. What the hell happened?"

Charlie gritted his teeth. "Look. I was erased from history and I was sent to this weird void. I managed to reach out to Raven and she helped me create a portal to come back here. I'm sorry for rushing this, but I am very worried about her. She thinks you guys don't exist! She thinks she made you guys up because you guys left her!"

"Whoa, it's not like I wanted to leave her. Do you know where she is?"

He thought for a moment. "I might have an idea…"

He heard him sigh. "Well, it's a start. I'm flying down there tonight. Make sure you guys call Dick."

Charlie nodded. "Will do."

"See you soon," he hung up quickly.

Garfield glanced at Charlie. "Well?"

"We need to call Richard," he said simply.

The former sighed. "He's not going to be happy about this…" he started dialing his number.

"It doesn't matter if he's pissed off or not," he growled. "Raven is in trouble and she needs our help…hearing her cry…it was unbearable."

Garfield shot a sympathetic glance at Charlie before he heard Nightwing pick up. "Hey, Dick…it's me, Gar…" there was a short pause before Garfield started talking again. "Look, you need to come down here. Remember Kilowatt?"

Charlie sighed, growing impatient. Before he could question his actions, he grabbed the phone from the green man. "Dick? It's me, Charlie, er, Kilowatt," he said quickly.

"K-Kilowatt? What are you doing in Jump City?"

"It's a long story, but you need to come down here right away. Raven's in trouble."

There was a long silence before Dick spoke again. "What happened to her?" his voice was slightly hard.

"I'm not sure, but she thinks you guys don't exist anymore. I don't know where she is, but if you come down here, maybe you can help us locate her. Vic is already on his way tonight."

There was another long silence, but before Charlie could say anything else, he heard the dial tone. He had hung up.

Kilowatt stared at the phone in disbelief.

"So…is he coming?"

"I hope so…" he gave the phone back to Garfield.

He sighed. "I can't believe this happened…poor Raven…from what you told me, it sounds like she's suffering a lot."

Charlie's hands were shaking and he was pacing. "We need to find her…I can't keep standing here and doing nothing!"

Garfield placed a hand on his shoulder. "Dude, you need to chill. We have to take a step back and think this through. The guys are on their way and once they're here, we'll think of a game plan." His eyes softened. "Raven's tough…she's always been…"

Kilowatt glared at him. "You don't understand. I saw her. I heard her. We're running out of time…if we don't act soon…we might not be able to find her…"

He sighed. "Charles…you need to relax. Listen to me, okay? I've worked with Raven for years. I know what she's capable of. She can hold on for a few more days."

Charlie nodded. He wanted to find her, but the changeling was right. If he went out there right now looking for her, his search would end in vain. He sat down on the couch and tried to relax. "You're right…sorry for acting like a jerk…I'm just really worried about her."

Garfield took a seat next to him. "You really care about her, huh?"

He nodded. "A lot more than you think…I owe her everything…" he reminisced a little, remembering when she first rescued him. He didn't know who he was calling out for, nor did he expect anyone to help him. But there she was, appearing out of nowhere and doing everything in her power to help him.

The former stood up and walked to the kitchen. He opened the fridge and pulled out a box of yesterday's pizza. "Hungry?"

Charlie's stomach growled, feeling famished. "Very," he answered.

Garfield half smiled and took out a few slices, placing them on a plate. He put the pizza in the microwave and started reheating the food. "I'd cook something but…I'm a little shaken up right now."

He nodded in understanding. "It's fine. I didn't exactly call ahead or anything…"

The changeling chuckled. "You got a point." He gazed out the window. "Man, it's getting colder out, huh?"

The two continued their small talk, ranging from the weather, to Gar's job, to the anticipation of the others arrival, and back to Raven. Charlie found himself feeling a little more relaxed. His thoughts continued to be flooded with images of the sorceress, but instead of panicking, he reassured himself that he would see her soon.

The sun had set, and it was now around 7 o' clock. There was a brisk knock at the door. Garfield stood up quickly and walked to his door. Without a moment's hesitation, he opened the door to reveal a half human and half robot.

Cyborg had upgraded his mechanic half in the last few years and looked much sleeker than his older model. He blinked upon seeing Gar. "Dang, Gar. You actually have facial hair…who are you trying to impress?" he chuckled.

Garfield rolled his eyes. "Good to see you too," they bumped their fists together before Vic walked in. His eyes landed on Charlie.

Charles cleared his throat and extended his hand. "Vic," he greeted.

Cyborg took his hand firmly. "Well…I've gotta say, you look different."

He shrugged. "It has been years after all, right?"

Victor nodded. "You've got that right. So, what's going on with Raven?"

Charles was about to speak, but there was another knock on the door. All 3 men glanced at each other, feeling nervous. None of them have really spoken to him since he left the team all those years ago. Garfield straightened himself out and opened the door.

He stood before him, clad in civilian clothing. He wasn't wearing a mask as he looked at the changeling. He nodded his head curtly. "Gar."

Garfield moved to the side, allowing him entrance. "Come in," he said simply.

He walked in slowly, looking around. His head was held high and met Vic's gaze. He extended his hand and shook his firmly. "Good to see you again, Vic," he said.

Vic nodded in agreement. "Good to see you too. How are you these days?"

Dick's eyes seemed to grow a little hard. "I'm getting by." His gaze landed on Charles.

Charlie cleared his throat. "Hi," he greeted.

Dick walked up to him. They were about the same height, Charlie being a little taller. "You contacted Raven?"

Charlie nodded. "Yes. And I have reason to believe that she's in trouble."

"Well…" Dick looked around. "What exactly happened?"

Charles sighed and gestured them to follow him back to the living room. He told them the same story he had told Garfield. He made sure to emphasize Raven's mental state and repeated everything she said to him verbatim. His heart was heavy as he told the story from beginning to end as he mentally relived every moment he shared with the sorceress.

All of the men were silent, taking in his story. Vic was the first one to speak up. "I don't believe this…" he rubbed his temples.

Dick stared off in disbelief. He sighed. "So…in the end…this is my fault."

Garfield spoke up. "Whoa, don't go jumping to conclusions like that."

The former Robin clenched his fists. "It is my fault…I was the leader…I was the one in charge…I shouldn't have left the team…"

Cyborg shook his head. "You're only human, man. You can't keep setting these high expectations…we're not perfect."

Charlie nodded. "He's right…the good thing is, we're all together right now."

Dick sighed. "We're short two titans…" he muttered.

There was a few moments of silence before Charlie spoke, "We're going to find them…"

"Maybe Raven," Richard muttered. "But not…"

Cyborg placed a hand on his shoulder. "It's fine, man."

Richard looked up at Charles. "From what you told us…it sounds like Raven would be in a mental hospital."

Charlie nodded. "I was thinking the same thing."

"There's one in the city…" Richard said as he stood up. He glanced at Garfield and Victor. "You guys are familiar with it, right?"

Both men nodded and Vic said, "Yup. I guess we start our search there, huh?"

Charlie's heart was filled with hope once more. "Thank you guys, very much," he said with gratitude.

"Actually," Richard said, "we should be thanking you…without you, we wouldn't have made the decision to reunite again…and Raven would still believe she was alone."

Charles blinked, surprised at his words.

Richard reached into his pocket and pulled out a yellow communicator. "I kept this…just in case…"

Vic's eyes widened, as well as Gar's.

Richard smiled and pressed a button on the communicator. Cyborg's robotic eye started to blink, making a beeping sound. That same sound was heard in Gar's room where his old belt rested on his desk.

Charlie looked around the room, feeling the warmth emanating from everyone.

With a smile, Dick said, "We'll find her, and we'll bring her back."
