Robin woke to his alarm chiming, so he turned it off, then picked up his communicator. It showed Logan and the T-Car had returned. So he jumped out of bed, and with a quick brushing up and shower, he was out his door.

The double doors barely opened when he pushed through, looking around to spot Logan. And he was in the kitchen, getting the pans ready for breakfast. He didn't turn to greet Robin.

So he walked up to Logan, whose back was turned to him, and waited.

"Good morning Robin." Logan began to cut a ham into slices. Cyborg always preferred ham to bacon.

"Where did you go last night? Where's Terra?"

"I'll tell you and the others when we're all together."

"You can tell me now, and repeat what you said to them."

"Is that an order Robin, an order from the leader of the Teen Titans…"

"… it's a friend asking… asking another friend to open up." Robin said. He needed to know what was going on, he wanted to help Logan.

"…"

Robin was going to try again, when…

*swoosh*

The other Titans entered the room, Cyborg must have also checked the status of Logan and the T-Car, then alerted them. They looked to Logan and Robin, before checking the room for one more person.

"Where's Terra?" He didn't even know who asked. But all eyes were on Logan.

"...I sent her away…"

The others looked at him. He knew they were confused by his words, so they waited for him to continue. But he didn't. Starfire finally spoke up, "What do you mean that you 'sent her away?'"

"I called the Justice League, told them that she was sick, and that she needed professional help. So they sent over a team member, and they took her to the Watchtower."

Breakfast forgotten, Logan grabbed a chair, and fell into it. He was dazed and out of it. He looked depressed and was spacing in and out. The others went to him, but he sat there staring at nothing.

"Logan…"

"It's alright, maybe it was for the best."

"Maybe there was something we didn't see, but you did."

"You probably knew her more intimately then the rest of-"

"I didn't know her." Logan said sternly. It silenced the others. "I didn't know anything about her. I looked at her, I judged her. I called people that I thought could help her, without telling her… I made a life decision, without asking her." He looked up to Robin.

"That's why I can't lead, because I always put my judgement over others."

They didn't know what to say, they looked at each other, then back to Logan. Finally, someone stepped forward. He felt a hand on his shoulder, and he waited for her to speak.

"Do you... want to talk about it?" He looked up to Raven. She looked more confident than before. She was no longer the silent Titan that didn't want to get involved with other people's problems. At some point, Raven became a person who reached out to the others. He smiled, happy that she had grown since he first met her.

"That'd be nice…" he said.

Then he felt all the Titans come to him and place their hands on him. It was awkward, but they led him to the couch, and sat him down. They sat around him on the couch and the coffee table. And they talked.

"It really was for the best, that she seek help from a psychiatrist." Robin said. The others thought about it, and slowly nodded.

"I really thought that spending time with her would make a difference, but if her issues ran deeper than having nowhere to go... we couldn't have helped her." Cyborg added.

Starfire looked nervous, and shifted her eyes to Logan. Seeing that she was hesitating, he smiled.

"Go ahead Star."

"Did you... have the feelings for Terra?" she finally asked. When Logan had returned, he showed affection to Terra. As though she meant something to him, more than a friend.

Raven was quiet, and looked to Logan. They all did.

Logan laughed. "No Star. I... cared about her a lot. But i didn't have feelings for her." The others nodded, and someone had a huge weight lifted off them.

"You sent her away, to get help, but also to get her away from Slade?" Robin asked, and Logan nodded his head.

"... I did. The more I looked at her, the more I realized that she didn't deserve to be pulled between us and Slade. We could have given her what we have right now, I saw the way you guys supported her, and i appreciate that. But it wouldn't have healed the scars she had. And Slade... that madman shouldn't ever get his hands on anyone. Especially someone as hurt and vulnerable as Terra."

They were silent, agreeing with Logan that it was the right call to send Terra somewhere she could receive help and be protected.

Cyborg looked to Logan, weighing if he should ask him something. Logan looked back at him.

"You don't have to hesitate Cy, you can ask me anything."

"Do… you have amnesia?"

The others looked startled at his question. Not understanding why Cyborg asked him such a thing. But…

Then all the times Logan would space out, the times he held his head when they first met. The complete mystery that was his time before they met. They looked to him, waiting.

'He lied to everyone, one way or another…'

He shook his head. No… they deserved the truth. He never lied to them, but he did withhold things from them.

"… yes. I do have amnesia…"

He looked at them, and knew that… it was his turn to open up. To tell them the truth and express his feelings to them.

They looked at him worried.

"You truly don't remember your past?" Starfire asked with a pained expression.

He looked to her. "No Star, I don't." He said it with a small smile. Which surprised them.

"That doesn't bother you?" Robin asked.

Logan shook his head.

"No. Because the only thing that matters to me, is right now. Here. With all of you."

They looked worried, but also touched. He was still the same Logan that he was the first day they met him.

"Is there anything else you want to talk about?" Logan asked.

"Can, we get to know you… more" Raven asked hesitantly. He smiled.

"Sure"

"Those animals," Cyborg cut in, then he stopped, realizing that he may have interrupted someone. But they also looked curious, so he continued. "Did you really command them to deliver us those messages?" Logan shook his head.

"No, those animals were me…"

That shocked them. But they were still confused.

"That falcon, then squid you turned into to capture that alien drone. I saw you transform into those animals, then you were suddenly right behind me." Robin stated. He'd wondered how Logan did it, but chose not to pry into Logan's business.

"A switching technique. I split into two, you focused on the one I wanted to keep your attention on, while I slipped behind you."

"But friend, what about the birds, and the dogs?" Starfire asked.

"I was all of them, I can multiply myself into as many as I want." They were shocked.

"Was your conscious spread out amongst them?" Raven was intrigued at Logan's power.

"… Not really." Logan tried to think how to explain it. "I was all of the animals, but they had a base instinct that followed my will. My desires. I wanted them to find you, to give you notes that I made for you."

"How did you know that we would receive the notes?"

"They either returned to me, or they sent a pheromone that traveled to me or the other animals." It was nice, telling them what he could do.

"What are these pheromones, and how do they travel?" Starfire asked.

"It's like a smell or a sense that comes from my or the animals body. It's carried across the city by amoebas that I have in the air.

" What?!"

"Hold on." Cyborg was rubbing his head. "Amoebas? In the air around the city?" Logan nodded, like it wasn't a big deal.

"Amoebas are tiny, almost invisible beings." Robin said, looking to Starfire. Then he turned back to Logan. "How many are out in the city, and are you really all of them?"

"Almost an infinite amount. And yes, I'm really all of them." They couldn't believe what he was saying.

"How?" Cyborg asked.

"How can you be so many… beings, at once?" Robin followed up.

"… I eat myself." Logan grinned.

'He what…?'

"Hold up, you WHAT?!"

"I eat myself," he repeated. The shocked and horrified look on everyones faces demanded an explanation, so he did. "Half of my body eats the other half, which gives it strength to grow, recover, develop muscle and multiply.

They stared at him like he was crazy. Because he was.

"Wait, that doesn't make sense. You can't eat yourself and not die. You need to eat food to develop muscle mass, grow and recover." Raven said.

"I am eating food."

"But friend, you do not eat large portions of food during our meals. To do such things, would you not require a tremendous amount of the calories?" Logan smiled at her. Everyone was surprised that Starfire would ask such an insightful question.

"I am eating, out there," he then gestured to the outside. They didn't understand. "I'm eating the leaves on the trees, the coral in the ocean. I eat the fruit in gardens and the crops that grow in the fields of the countryside."

They didn't say anything. So he continued.

"I'm sitting with you all, here in the common room, but I'm also out there. Eating. And I'm bringing it back to me for nourishment. Half my body absorbs everything in nature I eat, like an herbivore. Then the other half eats the first for protein, like a carnivore. I'm always eating, always growing and recovering. It's natural for me."

They were all speechless. They didn't know if their eyes could open any wider.

"How do you carry all the calories and nutrition from outside to your body? We've never seen you interacting with animals." Cyborg asked.

"It's shrunk down and brought to me by the amoebas."

"How can energy like that be shrunk so small?"

Logan laughed. "How can a 5'7 guy grow to be a T-Rex?" he questioned back.

Logan looked at them, at the flabbergasted looks they gave him. So he smiled to them.

"It doesn't matter where I am, here in the tower or out in the city… I'm the birds in the sky, I'm the rabbits in the field, I'm the fish in the sea."

They were silent, completely blown away by the person they had lived with all this time. That he could do such things, and walk around without a care in the world.

"You knew where I was… how?" Realization hit Robin .

Logan's smile faded. He knew this was coming, and it would be difficult to tell them the truth.

"… Because I marked you." He leaned back to look at all of them. "I marked all of you… I know where you all are, at all times."

A look of surprise spread through them, then, a mixture of… everything. Shock, horror, hurt. No one said anything, but a scared and betrayed feeling passed through them.

"Why?" Raven asked silently.

He gave a pained smile. "… because I love you all. And I can't stand not knowing if you're safe."

"... do you know where Slade is..?" Robin asked.

Logan stared at Robin, knowing that this question was coming. This knowledge would hurt more than knowing he tracked them.

Logan nodded his head.

The room was silent.

Then turned to Cyborg. "I know where Blood is too… I know where everyone is."

The common room was silent, and both Robin and Cyborg stood to pace around the couch.

Starfire reached over and placed a hand on Logan's knee.

"Do not worry friend Logan, I know that you did such things out of the love and loyalty you have for us." He smiled to her.

"Thank you Star."

"I understand why you… marked us. And I don't hold a grudge against you either." Raven said.

"Thank you." He smiled at her.

Cyborg turned to Logan.

"I can't be mad at you. I know how much you care for us, for anyone else I'd feel betrayed, but…" he didn't have to finish, but Logan gave him a smile for his forgiveness.

Everyone looked to Robin. He just stood there.

"You knew where Slade was… this whole time..."

"That's not important Robin. We want Logan to know we don't hold this against him." Raven said.

Robin was jumbled. He combed his fingers through his hair. He didn't know how to feel. A part of him was upset, not about being marked. Logan SAVED him, because he knew where he was at. But Slade. Logan knew his location, and didn't tell anyone. So many plans and preparations could have been made to stop Slade, but Logan kept that information to himself. Why?

"Why?" And Logan knew exactly what Robin was asking him.

"For your sanity." Robin was confused.

"Because I couldn't decide what to do with him." Now they were all confused.

"You remember the threat I made back then, the recording Slade played on the TV?"

'I can take your strength, I can make it to where you never walk again… I can even take your life.'

The others remembered how cold Logan sounded in that recording.

"I told you Robin, he would kill us. If Slade was backed into a corner, there was no guarantee that we would all walk away."

Robin said nothing.

"I made that threat to Mammoth, for something he did... but, I can make that same threat to anyone…

What would you have me do? Tell you where he was, so we could charge ahead? Putting our lives at risk. Or would you want ME to stop him? So he could be arrested, but we know how that goes."

No one knew how to answer that. Robin stared at Logan...

then turned and left the common room.

—-

Robin was in the gym, attacking the punching bag with a fury. He'd been in there for sometime. He'd left the others hours ago, and not knowing where to head, went to the only place he could clear his head.

*punch* *kick* *punch* *punch* *kick*

'What would you have me do?'

*kick* *kick* *punch*

STOP. SLADE. Of course.

*punch*

The punching bag flew, and was caught before it hit him. He hugged the bag, before letting it go. He walked to the bench and toweled himself off.

*huff* *huff*

Logan didn't he tell him. They could have done something, anything. He'd dream about it. The day they could slap cuffs on Slade, and put him away for good.

*huff* *huff*

'I'll beat Slade.'

His thoughts turned to all the times Slade overpowered him.

'I'll put Slade away.'

The close calls and near misses for him and the team. The probes. Thunder and Lighting. Plasmus, Cinderblock and Overload. What could have happened if Slade got a hold of Terra.

*huff* *huff*

Robin bowed his head.

'What would you have me do?'

*huff* *huff*

'I can take away your strength, I can make it to where you never walk again… I can even take your life'

*exhale*

Could he do it… Could he ask Logan to weaken Slade? Take away his strength? Make it to where Slade could never fight again.

Was that how Batman fought villains, crippling them, so they were no longer a threat?

No…

The never ending cycle, of jailing the bad guys, only for them to break out. Would Slade really be any different. Was it possible to really put him away, for GOOD?

'… we know how that goes.'

Robin sighed, then headed to his room. He walked up to his dresser, and opened a drawer. He pulled out his communicator, pressed the call button, and waited for a response…

"Dick?"

"… Bruce... can we're talk?"
