Beast Boy woke up with a dry taste in his mouth. "Water," he said to himself.

He then turned to the side of his bed to grab his water bottle only to find it was empty.

"Great." He grunted.

It was dark and the clock in the sick bay said 1:15 a.m.

Beast Boy now faced an interesting dilemma. How was he going to get more water?

There was a sink in the sick bay but it was ten feet from the bed and the last time he tried to walk it got him a bump on the head.

He thought about hitting the call button, even though it was 1:15 in the morning, but the more he thought about it the more it sounded like it was a bad idea.

Robin, even at this hour, would be so caught up in his work on catching the assassins that he most likely wouldn't have even heard the call button.

Starfire was still in shock over seeing Johnny's body that she locked herself in the room, not even Robin could get her to come out.

Cyborg wasn't even in the Tower. He had gone to Titans East to get some backup.

As for Raven…to Beast Boy, that wasn't even an option.

"Alright," he said to himself as he got up, "let's try it again."

Robin was in his room looking through countless mug shots from around the world hoping that he would see the faces of the two girls or the boy from the mall.

He even kept repeating their names in his head over and over again. "Wolf, Barracuda, Black Widow. Wolf, Barracuda, Black Widow."

"Robin?" Starfire's voice came from behind him.

Robin turned his head and almost didn't recognize her.

He had been so used to seeing joy in her face, happiness in her eyes, and overall such a cheery aura from her. This time however all of those little things that made Starfire who she was were gone.

"Starfire ar-" but before he could finish she threw her arms around him.

"What's wrong?" he asked in a gentle tone.

She looked at his eyes.

"I.." she tried to say but turn away as if she was embarrassed to say it, "I am afraid."

The words surprised him.

"Of what?" he asked.

"Of what happen. We were almost beaten. Beast Boy could have died. And…this truce that their leader wanted to make. I have a feeling that something even worse is going to happen."

Robin wanted to comfort her. He wanted to tell her that everything was going to be alright. He wanted to tell her that they would catch them and good would prevail. He wanted to see the happiness back in her eyes.

"Starfire, it's okay," He said, "I'm a little scared too. But we can beat them."

"Robin," she said, "when I saw Johnny I…I thought that it could have been you lying there."

Robin held her tightly and then said something that no one, not even himself, thought he would say, "Starfire…if you want me to keep the truce-"

"NO!" she said firmly, "Robin I cannot ask that of you. Our job is to protect…even if it means to protect people like Johnny.

Robin then took a deep breath, "It's not just that Starfire. I don't want to lose you, Cyborg, Raven, or Beast Boy. Even if it means-"

Starfire put her finger on his mouth.

"Robin, listen to me," She said, "I might be afraid, but I will fight by you, as the rest of us, even if it means facing death."

Robin hugged her. "Thank you."

Raven was on the rooftop looking at the starry sky.

The feeling had returned stronger than ever.

She hated it now.

Not the feeling itself, but the fact that she couldn't tell what it was.

"WHAT! WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME?" She yelled at the sky in frustration.

The sudden burst of emotion caused a rock formation right next to the tower to crumble.

"No, I can't let this take over." She said to herself.

As she calmly went downstairs she let out deep breaths.

"Have to calm down." She said to herself.

She then thought about what happened yesterday. Of all the things she should be thinking about: the assassins, the truce, Beast Boy being poisoned, the feeling should be on the bottom of the list.

Yet she couldn't help it.

As she got closer to her room she heard a crash. It was coming from the sick bay.

Fearing the worse she quickly ran over to the sick bay.

As she opened the door she found Beast Boy on the ground.

"Oh that hurt!" Beast Boy groaned.

"What happen?" Raven asked as she helped him up again.

"I tried to get to the sink for water." He said embarrassedly.

"Why didn't you use the call button?" she asked.

"Well…I didn't…oh never mind." He said, feeling like a total idiot.

Raven helped him back into bed and got him some more water.

"Thanks." He said as he gulps down the cool refreshing water, "I needed that."

"Next time use the call button." Raven said.

"Even at this hour?" he asked.

Raven nodded.

"You won't get mad from me waking you up?"

"I would be angrier if you made an idiot of yourself by trying to walk again so soon."

Beast Boy let out a short laugh. "Thanks."

As Raven left the sick bay she noticed that she felt a lot calmer.

As she got to her room she saw Robin and Starfire together.

When she saw Robin holding Starfire and telling her thank you, the feeling came back.

BUZZBUZZBUZZ

7:00 a.m.

The alarm clock went off.

"Rise and shine." Owl said to The Eight.

As the rest woke up and got ready Owl pull out the list of targets.

"Alright everyone listen up. Barracuda and Boa track down Target number 4. Wolf and Fox track down target number 5. Black Widow and Steer track down target number 6. Eel, you and I are going after 7. As soon as your target is eliminated report and track down number 8. And remember if the other team interferes you are given the right to engage but ONLY if they initiate it."

The Eight nodded and one by one they exit the hotel.

The sun was out, the sky was blue, and it was another beautiful day.
