Chapter 11: Masks

It was another beautiful day in Jump City. Inside the Titans Tower Training Room, Sora was striking at some hologram targets. He heard one target running at him and without looking, he shot a fire spell at the target, destroying it. The training session ended and he saw that he beat his old record.

"Sweet!" Sora said. Training was always a good way to relive stress or let out some anger whenever he needed it. However, in this situation he didn't have any stress or anger to let out; it was very bothering wariness. It's been a couple of weeks since he last heard from Rose and he was starting to get a little concerned. She did say that she was doing better but even still he couldn't help it. Sora took a sip of water and checked the time to see that it was now entering the evening. He walked out of the Training room and started making his way to his room when the alarm suddenly blared throughout the tower and Sora ran to the room where he saw the others.

"What's going on?" Sora asked.

"There's been a break-in at the Server Building, Titans Go!" Robin yelled and the Titans ran out of the building.

(Jump City Server Building)

Sora and the Titans ambushed the would-be thief in the Building where a red microchip was floating in the air. Suddenly the lights turned on and Sora saw that the thief was another one of the foot ninjas that attacked him and Rose earlier. Suddenly, a yellow beam emerged from the ceiling and they looked up to see more ninjas appear.

"Guys these things are robots, they can be destroyed," Sora told the others.

"Good to know," Robin said as he and the other Titans attacked the robots. Sora dodged some of the lasers sent his way and disarmed two of the robots before knocking them away. One jumped towards him but he intercepted it and slashed it a couple of times before kicking it away.

"Strange, last time they were defeated a lot easier," Sora said but was blasted in the chest and landed next to Robin and Starfire.

"They're stronger than last time. Slade must've upgraded them," Sora said.

"Yeah we noticed," Robin said, throwing a couple of birdarangs. Several robots jumped in front of them and got ready to shoot them when suddenly a giant computer cabinet crashed into them and they crashed into a nearby wall. Sora looked over to see Cyborg wiping his hands clean. Sora got back up and attacked the other robots with Robin and Starfire while Raven and Beast Boy dealt with two other robots. Sora blasted another robot away with a fire spell and then threw his keyblade at another group, making the keyblade ricochet off of their heads before recalling it back. Sora then charged into the group and slashed them all away. Sora then saw one robot manage to dodge the other Titan's attacks and grabbed the microchip. Sora throws his keyblade at the robot's hand and manages to knock the chip out of its hand. Robin tries to grab it but the robot shoots him in the chest, knocking him down and it catches the chip again before running off.

"You alright?" Sora asks as he helps Robin up but the Boy Wonder doesn't answer as he runs after the robot with the other Titans running after him. The Titans run into a room with a hatch in the middle and four other hallways.

"Let's split up!" Sora said. The others ran into the hallways while Sora and Robin entered the hatch. They land inside a sewer tunnel and see the thief with the chip running down the tunnel. The two chased after the thief down the tunnel and Sora shoots a blizzard spell at the robot but it manages to dodge it. The robot runs down a nearby side tunnel and throws a grenade at the entrance but Sora puts up a shield to protect them. He puts the shield down and sees that the entrance has caved in and looks in to see the thief cutting a hole into the wall with his blaster. The hole opens to reveal a mountain side and the thief was about to jump out when Starfire suddenly flew up in front of him.

"Starfire wait!" Sora said as he and Robin crawled through the opening of the cave hole but froze when they saw the thief shoot Starfire with the blaster, knocking her out and causing her to fall. The thief jumped after her and suddenly flew up pass the opening.

"You save Starfire, I got the thief," Robin said as the two heroes jumped out of the hole. Sora glided down after Starfire and caught her in his arms. He suddenly saw the thief falling down to the river below with Robin in tow by his grappling hook. Sora glided down after them and saw that Robin landed safely on land with the thief. Sora placed Starfire on the ground and saw that her eyes were stirring.

"Star, are you alright?" Sora asked.

"Yes, I am fine," Starfire said as she rubbed her head.

"Now talk!" Sora heard and he turned to see Robin holding the thief by the collar, interrogating it.

"Robin, it's a robot," Sora said but the Boy Wonder wasn't listening and continued with his questions and removed the mask only to see a computer screen. Sora walked over to Robin and saw the screen turn on to show the figure of Slade immersed in shadow.

"Excellent work, Robin," Slade said.

"Slade!" Robin said in anger.

"Truly, I think your skills are improving," Slade continued.

"No more games! What are you planning?" Robin asked.

"Robin, calm down. Let's hear what he has to say," Sora said.

"Ah, Sora. Glad to see that you're the calm one of the team. How have you've been since our last meeting?" Slade asked.

"Doing good, Slade. Mind explaining you're interest in this microchip?" Sora asked.

"Patience boys. You'll see very soon," Slade said as the screen flickered out and the robot deactivates. Sora grabbed the chip from the robot's hands while Robin held onto the mask.

"So, what now?" Sora asked, but Robin didn't answer and walked away from him while tightly gripping the mask, that it looked like it would break.

"Sora, is Robin okay?" Starfire asked.

"I hope so, Star. C'mon let's put this back and head home," Sora said as he and Starfire flew back up to the building.

(Later, back at the Tower)

Sora and the others were watching the movie Super Ninja Showdown Eight where two clans of ninjas battle each other across the entire world. When they got home, though, Robin immediately went to his personal evidence room to go over what happened and hasn't come out ever since. Starfire went to go check on him a few minutes ago to see if he wanted to take a break but hasn't come back yet. Sora heard the door open and he saw Starfire walk in looking sad. Sora jumped over the couch and walked up to her.

"Is he okay?" Sora asked.

"Yes, he is fine but he refuses to take a break. I fear that he is taking too much responsibility of this situation," Starfire said.

"Don't worry, he'll be alright. I'll talk to him later and see how he is doing," Sora said.

"Oh, thank you, Sora," Starfire said.

"Sure thing, Star," Sora said as the two went back to watching the movie.

(A couple hours later)

Sora was walking to Robin's room to talk to him after Super Ninja Showdown ended. He stopped in front of the closed door and knocked three times.

"Robin? It's Sora, just wanted to see how you are doing and if you wanted to take a break," Sora said but he didn't hear anything. He was about to open the door when the alarm went off. He ran into the living room and saw the other Titans looking at the screen.

"What's happening?" Sora asked.

"There's been another break in at the Server Building," Raven said.

"Again? Man, Slade must really want that chip," Sora said.

"Where is Robin?" Starfire asked.

"Probably already there. Titans go!" Cyborg yelled and they ran out of the Tower.

(Building rooftop)

Sora and the other Titans tracked the thief from the building to a rooftop in the city. They were just waiting for him to appear when Sora's communicator went off. He opened it to see Robin's face on the screen.

"Robin! Where are you? There's been another break in at the Server Building. Whoever he is they stole the microchip," Sora said.

"Sorry guys, but I'm working on a possible Slade lead on the far side of town. Can you guys handle this one?" Robin asked.

"You got it. Hope you find something," Sora said as the connection cut out. Suddenly, the skylight window opened and out came the thief. He was dressed in a skintight black outfit with a giant red X over the heart, a long black cape, grey belt and gloves, with an X on the back and palm of each hand, and a black mask with the face looking like a skull with another red X on the forehead, with one of the strokes crossing the right eye.

"You work for Slade, pal?" Sora asked as he summoned his keyblade.

"Red X works alone," the thief said in a heavily distorted voice. He opened his hand and suddenly the X on his palm shot out as a projectile at Sora but he quickly shot a fire spell and the two shots destroyed each other. Cyborg fired his sonic cannon at Red X but the thief avoided the blasts and shot more X's at the Titans, making them take cover. Beast Boy turned into a lion and charged at the thief but Red X fired an X that turned into a form of liquid, which impacted Beast Boy. Sora saw Beast Boy try to free himself but the liquid glued him to the ground.

"Can't move," Beast Boy said.

"Hold on, BB," Sora said as he ran to his friend's aid when he suddenly found his arms and legs pinned and he fell to the ground. He tried to use his keyblade when he was suddenly hit by a surge of electricity. Starfire and Raven fired at the thief but he once again avoided them and fired two big X's at the girls: one tied up Starfire and she fell to the ground while the other found it's mark by covering Raven's mouth mid-spell, making her fall to the ground as well. Cyborg tried to grab Red-X from behind but the thief jumped behind him and placed a small X on his back, which opened up to reveal Cyborg's circuits. Suddenly, Cyborg's arms flail around widely before going limp and Red-X simply pushes the Titan to the ground. Sora tries again to summon his keyblade but again another burst of electricity surged through his body.

"I wouldn't try to use that key of yours, kid," Red-X said.

"Thanks for the advice," Sora said as he froze his hands and feet, freezing the binds and they broke easily. He got up and charged at the thief, who decided to flee and jumped off the rooftop. Sora was about to follow him when Red-X suddenly disappeared into thin air. Sora sighed and went to go help his friends.

"So, we all just saw that right?" Beast Boy asked.

"Yeah, we saw it," Sora said as he freed Starfire.

"Who was that guy?" Cyborg asked.

(Later, in Slade's Lair)

Rose watched from her hiding place as she saw her father and the new thief who stole the micro-chip negotiate.

"I heard that you're interested in this," the thief said as he held up the chip to the screen.

"I have interests in many things, like what your name is?" Slade asked.

"X. Red-X," Red-X answered.

'Red-X, never heard of him before,' Rose thought to herself.

"So, are you proposing a sale or a gift?" Slade asked.

"A partnership. I give you the chip, you let me in on your plans," Red-X proposed.

"Someone's eager but an alliance cannot be forged from one little chip. You wish for my trust, then I'll need more," Slade said.

"Tell me what you want and I'll provide," Red-X said.

"There are two other chips located in the city. Bring them to me," Slade said.

"Anything else?" Red-X said.

"One of the Titans. The one with the key, Sora," Slade said as a picture of Sora appeared on the screen. Rose's eyes widened in response.

"What do you want with the kid?" Red-X asked.

"His powers interest me. Bring me the chips and Sora and you've got yourself a deal," Slade said as he cut the transmission.

"You can come out now," Slade said. Rose froze in response but composed herself and walked out.

"Father, forgive me, I did not wish to intervene," Rose said.

"Not a problem Ravager. What do you have to report?" Slade said as he sat on his throne.

"The device is now in the building process but it's still going to take a couple of weeks of development," Rose said.

"I see, and those chips should help shorten the building correct?" Slade asked.

"Yes, they contain the data that will help it process faster," Rose said.

"Very well, I'll have all available commandos assist in the building with you as their supervisor," Slade said.

"Yes, father," Rose bowed and started to walk away.

"And how do you feel about our new friend?" Slade asked and Rose looked up.

"I-I am not sure. Can we really trust him?" Rose asked.

"We shall see," Slade said.

(Next day at the Tower)

"I had no idea Red-X could pose such a threat. I should've been there," Robin said as they talked in the kitchen. Starfire was in the middle of getting rid of all the red goo that was stuck in Beast Boy's hair while Sora was trying to get the X off of Raven's mouth.

"Whether you were with us or not, it wouldn't have changed anything," Sora said as he finally got a good grip on the X.

"You ready, Raven?" Sora asked and Raven nodded. "Sorry," Sora apologized as he quickly tore the X off her face with a very loud tearing sound. Starfire and Beast Boy screamed in sympathetic pain while Raven internally screamed.

"Ow," Raven said.

"The guy knew how to bring each one of us down and if you were there, he would've taken you down too," Cyborg said.

"Yeah, even though Sora managed to free himself," Beast Boy said.

"He must've thought I only used the keyblade and tried to restrain my hands. He definitely didn't count on me using my magic like that," Sora said. "So, did you find anything about Slade last night?" Sora asked.

"Nothing. Lead was cold. I better get back to work," Robin said as he waled towards the side door and left the living room. Sora decided to follow after him and talk to him.

"Robin wait," Sora said and Robin turned to face him.

"Look, I know what you're feeling, its exactly what I was feeling when the Hearltess attacked: responsibility to stop them before someone else gets hurt. But remember what you told me?" Sora asked.

"To not do this yourself?" Robin said and Sora nodded.

"If we work together, then maybe we can find Slade faster. Look, Red-X went after the same chip that Slade went after, so, maybe Red-X is working for Slade. If we catch Red-X together, then we could possibly learn more about Slade," Sora said.

"Or Red-X is just a thief that Slade hired to steal the chip and could just be another dead end for us to chase," Robin said.

"Maybe but we can get to either conclusion faster if we work together," Sora said. Robin looked down in thought before looking up with a smile on his face.

"Alright, I'll help you guys catch Red-X," Robin said.

"Awesome!" Sora said.

"But for now, I think I'm going to go rest in my room," Robin said as he started heading to his room.

"You sure you don't wanna come hang with us?" Sora said as he hung his hands behind his head.

"Maybe later. Right now, I need to rest my head," Robin said.

"Alright, have a good rest Robin," Sora said as he walked back to the living room.

"And Sora," Robin said. "Thanks," he said.

"Sure thing," Sora said.

(Middle of the night, Titans Tower)

Sora was resting in his bed after a day of looking for where Red-X may strike next but sadly nothing came up. The good thing was that Robin was there to help them look and everything seemed to be back to normal with the team.

'I just hope that he's alright,' Sora thought to himself. He suddenly heard his communicator go off and he saw Robin appear on-screen.

"Titans meet up in the living room, ASAP," Robin said and the screen went dark.

"Wonder what's going on," Sora said as he put his jacket and shoes on and ran outside of his room. He met up with the others and entered the living room.

"Alright Robin, what's..." Sora said but saw that Robin was nowhere to be seen. The Titans walked in looking around but could not find the Boy Wonder. "...The problem?" Sora finished.

"Where is Robin?" Starfire asked.

"He must be out in the city or something," Cyborg asked while dragging a still sleeping Beast Boy with him.

"I am," Robin's voice suddenly said and the computer turned on to show his face.

"I was in the public library when I spotted Red-X pulling a theft in the tech sector again. I'm on it, get here as soon as you can," Robin said.

"We're on our way. Titans Go!" Sora yelled as they ran out of the Tower.

(Downtown Jump City)

The Titans made their way through the city looking for any sign of Robin or Red-X but could not find them. Sora looked everywhere until he finally saw Robin chasing Red-X down a rooftop.

"Over there!" Sora yelled and the Titans ran over to help their leader. Red-X suddenly turned around and threw a red net at Robin, which caught him and sent him down to the ground. The Titans ran over to help their trapped leader.

"I'm fine, get X! Go!" Robin yelled. The others nodded and chased after the thief but Sora went to help Robin.

"Sora, go help the others. I'll be right behind ya," Robin said and Sora eventually nodded and ran after the others. They went down a staircase which lead to a subway station. They looked around for the thief but there was no sight of him.

"He must be using invisibility. Everyone be careful," Sora said as he and the others started looking around for Red-X. Suddenly, Cyborg went flying and he skidded across the ground.

"He's here," Raven said. Sora sees an X appear behind the recovering Cyborg and he throws his keyblade at it, knocking the X out of the thief's hand. Cyborg grabs Red-X by the collar and throws him towards the others though he manages to land on his feet in a crouch.

"Surrender, you can't beat all of us," Sora said.

"Can't. I'm not done yet," Red-X said as he leaped into the air and fired an X at him but Sora shot another fire blast, destroying the two projectiles. Sora jumped after the thief and engaged him in hand to hand. Sora was kicked to the ground by Red-X but he retaliated by kicking the thief in the chest, knocking him back. He got up to see Starfire accidently collide with Cyborg after trying to ram into Red-X. Raven and Beast Boy tried to fight the thief and Sora got up to help them but the thief managed to knock them all down to the ground again. Sora, angered, fires a bolt of thunder from his palm, knocking Red-X to the ground and stunning him for a minute, allowing Beast Boy to ram into Red-X as a bighorn sheep. Red-X quickly swings around a nearby pole and tries to kick the green changeling but he manages to dodge. The thief quickly turns around and punches Beast Boy, knocking him into the nearby train tracks. Sora suddenly heard the sound of a train coming and saw the lights coming from the tunnel.

"Beast Boy!" Sora yelled as he jumped onto the tracks and pulled Beast Boy to safety on the other platform just as the train passed by.

"You alright?" Sora asked.

"Yeah, thanks dude," Beast Boy said. Suddenly, Beast Boy was blasted away and Sora felt something hard hit the back of his head and he passed out. The thief pulled out Sora's communicator from his pocket and placed it on the ground before picking him up and carried him on his back. Raven got up from the crates she was knocked into to see Red-X carrying Sora away onto the other exit.

"SORA!" Raven yelled as she furiously fired multiple blasts of energy at Red-X but he managed to dodge the blasts and finally disappeared. Raven clenched her hands in anger since Sora was kidnapped again. She was about to go after the thief when she heard the other Titans run up to her.

"Where's Sora?" Cyborg asked.

"Red-X took him," Raven said in a worried tone and the rest of the Titans froze in shock.

(Later)

Red-X was sitting in front of a computer in a dark room where he was having a video chat with Slade.

"Well done, Red-X. I hacked into the cameras in the subway to see your work. You truly treated the Titans to quite a show," Slade said.

"Glad you enjoyed it. Is the audition over?" Red-X asked as he held up the two microchips to the screen.

"Do you have Sora?" Slade asked and Red-X moved his chair so that Sora was in view. He was tied up in a white rope and he was still passed out.

"Excellent, though one more test remains. Retrieve the final microchip and deliver Sora to me and we shall meet to discuss your fate," Slade said as the chat ended. Red-X turned away from the screen and removed his mask, revealing Robin underneath.

"I'm sorry, Sora but it'll be worth it at the end," Robin said as he walked away from the computer.

(Later that night, Titans Tower)

The Titans were standing in front of the computer looking for any possible sightings of where Red-X would steal from next but multiple sights appeared on screen.

"Great," Beast Boy said in a tired tone. He turned around to see Raven sitting on the couch with a worried look on her face.

"You alright, Raven?" he asked.

"No, Beast Boy I'm not. I'm worried about Sora. What will Red-X do to him?" Raven said. Cyborg walked over to her and placed a comforting hand on her shoulder.

"Don't worry Rae, we'll find him," Cyborg said.

"Yeah, Sora is a tough guy. I'm pretty sure he can survive one thief," Beast Boy said. They suddenly heard footsteps and looked to see Robin walking by carrying a box of supplies.

"Robin, wonderful! Our efforts to locate the Red-X and find friend Sora will benefit greatly from your help," Starfire said. However, Robin didn't even turn to face her and continued to make his way to the side door.

"That'll have to wait. I'm close to a breakthrough with Slade," Robin as he walked closer to the side door. Suddenly, the door was covered by dark energy and he turned to see Raven using her powers.

"How? How can you focus on Slade when Red-X kidnapped Sora?! One of our own?!" Raven yelled.

"Based on what Red-X has stolen and since he took Sora, it's obvious he's trading with Slade. If we don't find Red-X until then, this lead will be the only thing left to Slade. I want to be ready if that happens. You guys follow up on any Red-X leads while I follow up on the Slade lead. I promise Raven, we'll find Sora," Robin said to the others. Raven put down her shield and he walked into the side door, leaving them alone.

(Later that day)

Sora slowly woke up to find himself in a dark room. His hood was up and he looked down to see that he was tied in up rope. He tried to move his hands but the rope was tied firmly.

"Don't bother. You're not going anywhere," a voice said. He looked up to see his kidnapper walk up to him.

"The Titans will find me and they'll stop you," Sora said.

"Not until I hand you over to Slade and get what I want," Red-X said.

"What do you want anyway?" Sora asked.

"You'll see. Now let's go," Red-X said as he once again knocked out Sora.

(Jump City Tech Section)

Red-X, with Sora in tow, made their way into the building and finally retrieved the third microchip. The thief was holding Sora by the back of the hoodie and was being dragged around wherever he went.

"Excellent work," They heard and they turned to see Slade and Ravager walk in to the room under a spotlight.

"I couldn't have done it better myself," Slade said.

"So, do we have a deal?" Red-X asked.

"Indeed, you and I so very much alike. It only seems natural that we should be partners," Slade said.

"Wait, partners. Why would a thief like you want to be partners with him?" Sora asked.

"Shut up! What are the chips for? I need to know what we're planning, partner?" Red-X said as he held up the chips in his hand.

"Patience. You can't just expect me to trust you with such sensitive info right away...can you...Robin?" Slade says and both Sora and Red-X's eyes widened in response.

"Wait, Robin?!" Sora yelled in confusion and looked back at Red-X. Suddenly, a net comes in from behind and snags the chips out of Robin's hands and into Ravager's hands. Suddenly, the lights turn on and the two see themselves surrounded by Slade's robot army. Robin uses one of the X's to cut Sora's bonds and gets into a fighting stance.

"I'll explain later," Robin said.

"You better," Sora said as he summoned the keyblade. The robots start to advance when suddenly the building shakes and the ceiling explodes.

"Titans go!" Sora hears and he looks up to see the Titans drop in and engage the robots. Cyborg grabs Robin still dressed in the Red-X outfit while Raven runs up to Sora.

"Guys let him go, that's-" Sora says but Robin answers for himself by taking off the Red-X mask, shocking the other Titans. In the madness, Slade and Ravager ran out of the building.

"Robin, they're getting away," Sora yelled as he chased after the two with Robin right behind him. The two chase the evil duo up to the rooftops to see Slade and Ravager heading in two different directions.

"I'll get Slade. You get the chips," Robin said and Sora nodded in agreement and the two split up once again. Sora leaped from rooftop to rooftop after Ravager until he finally got close and fired a blizzard spell at her feet, freezing her to the rooftop. He landed behind her and summoned his keyblade.

"You're not getting away this time," Sora said. Ravager pulled out a blaster and fired at the ice, freeing her. She then turned around and fired at Sora but he managed to dodge and fired a thunder spell at her, knocking the blaster out of her hands.

"Just give up and hand over the chips," Sora said. Ravager gritted her teeth and drew her swords and leapt at Sora. He blocked her spinning attacks and kicked her away but she recovered in mid-air and threw four ninja stars at him. Sora responded by quickly throwing his keyblade at the stars. He was about to recall his keyblade when he was suddenly kicked in the chest and knocked to the ground. He looked up to see Ravager standing before him and he quickly kicked her feet out from under her, making her drop one of her swords. He quickly rolled over to it and picked it up. The two clashed with both of them being able to keep up with each other's speed. Sora tried to swing at her but she managed to dodge it and tried to swing at his chest but he quickly blocked it. The two once again clashed their swords together but Sora's broke into pieces. Taking the advantage, Ravager swung at Sora in a frenzy but he managed to dodge and put up a reflect shield to defend himself and knock her back. He summoned his keyblade and infused it with a fire spell and leapt at Ravager ready to swing. Seeing this, Ravager got up and swung as well but when the two blades collided, an explosion erupted from the keyblade, knocking the two combatants down. Sora slowly got up holding his side and he saw smoke everywhere and saw the chips on the ground. He walked up to them and picked them up but saw Ravager's figure still obscured by smoke.

"Give up yet?" Sora asked but froze when he got close enough. She seemed to be unharmed from the fire, though there was one thing missing.

Her mask was gone.

Sora had to do a double take when he saw the face behind the mask since he's seen it before multiple times. Gray eyes, a hear shaped face and silver hair.

"R-Rose?!" He said, completely and utterly shocked. Rose's face went from anger to shock and confusion as she felt for her mask and noticed that it wasn't there and finally broke out into fear and sadness as she looked up at Sora once again with tears now swelling up in her eyes.

"R-rose, why are you-?" Sora asked when they both heard Robin calling out to him. Rose quickly pulled out a smoke bomb and threw it to the ground, allowing her to escape. Sora was frozen in shock and fear, that he didn't notice Robin walk up to him and ask him something.

"Where did she go? Sora? Did you see who she was? Sora? Sora?!" Robin yelled and Sora finally turned to face him with a face of confusion.

"She...she got away. I... got the...microchips for you," Sora said as he placed the chips into Robin's hands and walked away from him still in deep thought.

(Later that day, Titans Tower)

Sora was slowly walking back to his room after a very long day of craziness. Once everyone got back to the Tower, a screaming match began over Robin going behind everyone's back and not telling them his plan. Robin stated that he needed to fool Slade and that if the Titans knew it was Robin underneath the Red-X mask, they would've held back. But Sora was way too deep in thought over the recent revelation that he didn't really speak up at all except saying to not take so much responsibility over Slade and excusing himself from the living room. Raven chased after him and asked if he was okay and he lied by saying that it's just been a long day and he wanted to get some sleep. But it was mostly so that he could think this whole Rose situation over.

From the very beginning he has been fighting and hurting one of his friends outside of the Titans. A friend he could talk to, make jokes with and have fun with after a day of crime fighting. But now, knowing that she has been working for Slade all this time since he first met her; it made him realize that she was possibly using him as a form of info for recent events for the Titans. This realization made the reveal hurt a little more. He finally made it to his door after what felt like a very long walk around the Tower halls and opened the door but as soon as it opened, a hand suddenly pulled him into his room and pinned him against the wall. As the door closed, the light turned on and Sora saw Rose standing before him still dressed in her Slade uniform, covering his mouth.

"I know you have a lot of questions and I'll try to answer them as best I can. Just please let me explain everything first and then I'll answer your questions. Please nod to let me know," Rose said in a pleading tone. Seeing how desperate she was speaking, he slowly nodded.

"Okay. I think it's best to start from the very beginning. Not only am I working for Slade...I'm actually his daughter," Rose said and Sora's eyes widened. "I know, crazy. Once I was old enough, he started training me in order to make me his greatest weapon. I eventually became his right-hand and enforcer and helped him build his robots. Then you guys came around and I was given the mission of getting close to you guys and learn more about you. It was around this time that I came to learn that my father was not the best father and I wanted to leave but I didn't know where to go and I knew he would find me again and bring me back," Rose explained and Sora looked down in thought.

"I see," he said.

"Sora, please understand, I never wanted you find out like this. I knew it would hurt you. At first, I didn't really care about you guys since I saw you as arrogant kids trying to play hero. But through you, I found out that... your more than that. Your kind, funny, strong, and caring," Rose said. Sora still had his head down in thought.

"I know you have a lot of questions," Rose said.

"I actually have three," Sora said.

"Which are?" Rose asked.

"When Slade hurt you that one night, why didn't you tell me? You could've stayed here where your safe," Sora asked.

"Kinda hard to tell you, 'Oh, I'm also the daughter of a masked criminal mastermind who is dead set on getting rid of you and your friends and I'm simply here to learn more about you,'" Rose said.

"So, you were using me for information?" Sora asked.

"Yes, my father wanted to learn more about you and keyblade so he sent me to get close to you," Rose said.

"Why is he so interested in me? Why does he want to get rid of us?" Sora asked.

"I don't know. He just finds your powers interesting and wants to know more about them and how to use them to benefit himself. But I do know that he wants you guys out of the way so that he can take over the city and he'll use whatever means necessary to do so," Rose said. A silence fell before the two as Sora tried to piece everything together and think of a good solution.

"I know you have to tell your friends about me since I work for Slade and all that-," Rose said.

"I won't tell them," Sora said.

"What? Why not?" Rose asked.

"Because I don't want to see a friend in jail," Sora said.

"Sora, you-," Rose said confused.

"It's just my friends, they'll just see you as a criminal working for Slade and Robin would not hesitate to interrogate you and put you behind bars and I don't want that to happen," Sora said.

"So, you're not going to tell your friends about me?" Rose asked.

"No, at least not yet," Sora said.

"So, what are we going to do?" Rose asked.

"You can tell me what Slade does. What he plans to do and how he is going to do it," Sora said.

"Be an informant of some sort," Rose finished.

"Exactly. We keep up the act of our friendship while at the meantime you spy on him and find out anything important," Sora said.

"That... sounds like a really good plan but what happens if they find out?" Rose asked worried.

"We'll work it out from there but right now this is the best option we have," Sora said.

"Sora...thank you. When I got here, I'd thought you would angry," Rose said.

"Well, I was definitely confused and shocked and really hurt but when you explained everything, I kind of understood why," Sora said. Suddenly, a knock was heard at his door.

"Guess I have to go now," Rose said.

"Yeah, be safe okay?" Sora said. Rose nodded and gave Sora one more hug before entering the air duct in his room. Taking a deep breath, he opened the door to see Beast Boy standing there.

"Hey, uh, we were going to watch a movie to relax and I wanted to see if you would like to join us?" Beast Boy asked with a sheepish smile on his face.

"Sure, I would like to," Sora said as he walked out of the room and the door closed behind him.

And that's it guys. I hope you enjoyed it. Rose's identity has been revealed and now she is undercover for Sora, who must keep this secret from the other Titans. This was a very significant episode and I wanted it to be significant in this. Also special thanks to one of my readers for giving me an idea of how to do this, thank you my friend. Now onto the reviews:

Darkmaster1000000: That's why I like it. I've always liked their pairing.

AceStarKnight: Thank you for the hope and for the advice. I've noticed that my sentences are very short and not very good with flow so I'll try to get better at this.

Xytan: Thank you for the love. I wanted Sora to kind of be the reasonable on in the group along with Raven. As for the summons, I'll see what I can do to integrate them.

I hope you guys are having a great day and I'll see you in the next chapter. Peace.
