"Why did you only tell the goth girl and not the rest of the Titans about Terra's betrayal?"

Chapter 4- recorded events

"She was an innocent girl to them. They loved the addition to the team and I was hoping that she would change her mind. I know people that work for you!" Robin said bitterly.

Robin frowned silently. He didn't tell Slade the other reason was because Robin didn't want to make Beast Boy upset.

Robin recalled the heated argument he and Beast Boy had, just after Terra had seemingly died.

*Flashback*

"Terra won't be a statue forever!" Robin argued.

He was sitting at the head of the Titan's table. Raven was on his right and cyborg on his left. Beast Boy and Starfire were sitting further down.

"Dude! That's great!" Beast Boy yelled happily, his face breaking into a wide grin.

Starfire clapped her hands and Cyborg and Raven stayed silent.

"She won't remain a statue for more than two years." Robin continued

"What we need to do now is to decide what we're going to do with her once she does return to normal." He finished.

The smile faded from Beast Boy's face and Starfire looked confused.

"What do you mean "what to do with her". She will be a Titan again! of course!" Beast Boy said angrily.

Robin sighed.

"As long as I'm the leader of this team, she will never be a Titan again" he said heavily. Raven silently agreed with Robin.

Beast Boy stood up and Starfire and Cyborg gasped.

"What!" Beast Boy yelled.

Robin got up too. He was certain that Beast Boy would get angry with his decision. Robin didn't think that he could face Terra again after she tried to kill him even though he had given her a chance to come back. That was where a line must be drawn.

"She sold all of us to Slade, BB! That includes you!" Robin said with a hint of danger in his voice.

"Terra sacrificed herself to save the city!" Beast Boy yelled.

"She never sacrificed anything Beast Boy! She only wanted to keep YOU safe!" Robin demanded.

"You are just taking out your anger on Terra just cause she was the one to finish Slade off," Beast Boy growled.

Robin lost control and slammed his gist on the table. Beast Boy flinched, knowing that he had gone too far.

"She is not coming back onto this team! I'm mad because we trusted her and she never did anything in return! Not got any reason you think!" Robin shouted "We gave her a second chance and she used us a second time! She told Slade exactly how to defeat us and exactly what hurts us! She tried to kill all of us! Including you! Het off cloud 9 Beast Boy!" Robin seethed.

"Robin, please," Beast Boy pleaded.

"No Beast Boy! It's not up for debate!" Robin finalized firmly.

Raven hesitated as she looked at Beast Boy's pleading face but then she remembered how much Terra had done.

"Im Sorry beast Boy but she doesn't deserve to come back. I'm agreeing with robin." Raven said, looking away from Beast Boy.

" She is our friend!" Star protested.

Beast Boy smiled at her gratefully before looking hopefully at cyborg. Cy looked back at him sadly.

"Robin and Raven don't trust just anyone Beast Boy."

BB looked at them hurt. He tried to speak but the words wouldn't come out of his mouth. In the end he ran out of the room, slamming the door behind him.

Robin sighted as he remembered that Beast Boy refused to speak to him for three full weeks. He had almost left the team completely.

*Reality*

"Well, Robin," Slade snapped him back.

"Now that I've got my answer, you can retire to your room." He finished dismissively.

Robin gratefully got up and left the room. It was a moment before he realised that he didn't know the way to his there. Robin smiled and decided to head back to the titans.

Robin ran along the long maze like halls until he finally saw the great double doors that the rest of the Titans were concealed behind. He ran into the room and his friends were surprised when they saw him.

"Listen, guys," Robin said quickly.

"I've only got a few minutes before Slade finds me. The only reason I took this chance is because there are no cameras here."

Robin ran to where Raven was sitting and crouched down.

"Raven," he said gently "You are the key to defeating Trigon. Your powers may be lost but you can still find them."

"You can," Robin said firmly.

"Find them and defeat him, Rae! We are all counting on you!"

Raven looked up at him.

"I promise I'll try," she said, wiping away her tears.

Robin smiled at her and ran out of the room. As he ran, he thought about Old timed. Slade had said that everyone on Earth had been turned to stone. Surely, a watchtower above Earth would survive Trigon's scream? Meaning the JLA could still help them. Right?

- meanwhile-

The JLS were very down. Hours ago, the Earth had been turned to stone people with no sign of life.

"I don't believe it," Green Arrow said, Black Canary nodding.

"Me either," eas the short reply.

Martian had forbidden anyone to go to Earth and help. They couldn't risk being turned to stone as well. Right now, he was searching for any signs of life.

Batman was standing in the corner; his masked eyes were narrowed in worry. Anyone looking at him thought that he was worried about Earth but no one suspected that he was really worried about a young teenage Dick Grayson/Wayne.

Suddenly, the Martian stood up with eyes bolting open.

"What is it?" Superman asked "Is there anyone moving down there?"

"Two immortals. No......three immortals." He replied

"2 Villain immortals And one undecided." He finished.

Everyone groaned.

"And four teenagers five if you count the undecided immortal." the Martian added.

"Where?" Batman asked quickly and sharply.

"In Jump City." was the reply.

Batman sank into a chair and the Flash sighted in worry. Both of them sensed rather than knew that their kids were out there, still fighting. Although where speedy was neither were sure.
