A new day began, we stood in the tech room, basically it's where the monitors and computer stuff happens. Jason had dragged Gar into finding out who the girl was and they did. The girls name was Rose, lovely name to be given. They also found out who her Father was.

"That's Rose's father?" Rachel ask her gaze on the monitor.

"Yep," Jason replied. "The one and only Deathstroke," he went on, what a title to have.

"Is that somebody you know?" I spoke up, my eyes travelling to meet Dick's, but he only met them for a moment.

"Kind of. Old Titans business," Dick replied, his eyes trained on the screen, but something within me noticed a change with Dick, and it made me unsettle.

"Check it," Gar began, all our gazes going to him. "Former Delta Force commando, part of H.I.V.E. 'Select soldiers who underwent a series of experimental bio-enhancements'," Gar had read off the screen. "Huh. Out of the thirty-five trail subjects, the only one to survive was Slade Wilson. Interpol says he retired years ago after the death of his son, Jericho. I tried having the computer find..."

"I'll take it from here," Dick cuts off Gar before he could finish. He steps forward to the computer, and touched the screen, making the monitors on the wall switch off. I frowned at his action, maybe something of the past has got him rattled.

"Security alert. Main entrance. Access denied," the security system alerted us as an alarm sound rang through the building. Dick presses another touch-screen and an image of Donna, Dawn and Hank came up.

"So I guess you changed the code," Donna's voice came through, making me chuckle softly, but so did Rachel.

"Finally," she spoke happy that she could get to see the others again. Rachel walks away down the hallway, everyone else on her tail besides Dick, he stayed behind for a moment. Once we came out into the main entrance of the tower, we see the three of them, looking around, taking in the place.

"You guys have no idea how much this place misses you," Rachel spoke, as we walk closer to them.

"This place, huh?" Dawn states in a teasing manner, as her and Rachel hug.

"Mostly just me," Rachel states, making me make a shocked sound, as they stared at me,

"And me. Plus Gar," I state, not forgetting Gar, as I came forward and gave a tight but brief hug to Dawn. We pull back and then she hugged Gar for a moment. 

"So where's Kory?" Rachel asks, noticing her not around. Plus I wanted to talk to her, since she's from another planet she might have heard of other species and might give me an insight. I could have phoned her, but I wanted to do this face to face.

"She sort of vanished," Donna spoke. As last we heard she was working with Donna on cases to bring people down and hand them over to the police.

"What do you mean by 'vanished'?" Rachel state clearly worried for Kory and so was I.

"I don't know. She's not answering her phone," Donna said, Rachel sighs as she really wanted to talk to Kory. "But, you know, she mentioned she wanted to see Florida. So, I just figured she made an Irish exit and took a quick little trip," Donna ensured Rachel and myself that she would be fine, and we are talking about Kory here...

I hear footsteps come up behind us all. "Were you followed?" Dick's voice soared through the air, making us all turn our heads to him.

"We shell gamed before we knocked. Covered our tracks," Hank ensured Dick that they weren't followed.

"Can you guys give us a minute?" Dick asks us, and I nodded to him, as did Gar and Rachel. I noticed that Hank, Dawn and Donna seemed tense and wary. But I just walk out of the room with Rachel and Gar. We turn the corner of the hallway, and down, before breaking off into our rooms.

"Training later," Gar spoke but it was more of a statement. I nodded to him and entered my room, shutting the door behind me. Can finally have some down time to myself...

....................

An hour or two passed, Gar had knocked on my door and told me they were off to training, but I didn't want to go straight away. I walk around my room, my spell book in hand, reading some more spells over to myself. It was my divine mission that was given to me by Dick, well wasn't give he just suggested it. I slam the book shut moments later, reading too much hurt my head. I left the bedroom behind and headed down the hallway turning a corner, coming closer to the training room. I could hear the soft noises of grunts and wood connecting to other wood, as they were training.

"Huston, we have contact!" I hear Jason yell in excitement, as I come around the corner, seeing him take off his blindfold. My eyes travelled to Rachel who was on the ground, dark energy surrounded her, it was so overwhelming. "Are we still sparring?" Jason asks, not knowing what is truly happening. She slowly began to rise from her crouch, turning around to face Jason. Her irises turned red, as the gem on her forehead glowed. Rachel lunges at Jason, grabbing him by the throat, lifting them both into the air, as they were surrounded by her black substance. Rachel took her eyes to a rack of real sharp swords, the stand they were on, turned and was aimed at Jason.

"Rachel! Stop!" I yelled in sync with Gar, while coming down the steps. Rachel seemed to snap out of it and let go of Jason, dropping him to the ground, and he lands on his back. Rachel lands on her feet, in a graceful way. "You all right?" I ask coming to stand at the side of her. She turns to face me and gave me a simple nod of her head, but Jason was soon on the scene.

"You stay away from me, you fucking freak," Jason states, clear in his tone of voice he was scared. I clench my hand into a fist, burning my stare into him.

"Everything ok?" Dick states coming into the room, from where the old suits were kept. My fist unravelled as his voice oddly soothed my anger towards Jason. Rachel and Jason exchanged looks for a moment.

"No it's not," Jason began taking a few steps closer to Dick, we all thinking he would spill on what happened. "Look, I don't like being left out of whatever plans you relics are cooking up out there, all right?" He told Dick, pointing his index finger at him, to get his point across. Dick just scoffs at Jason's comment, but it was in a funny way.

"You didn't miss anything. Gar, I need you," Dick gaze cocked to Gar.

"And what about me?" Jason felt left out, no of us had really seen any action, we've only fought one another.

"Keep practising," he replied back to Jason as Gar wondered off with Dick. Jason turns back to face Rachel and I, stopping inches in front.

"You need to have that shit looked at. By like a fucking priest," he went on, swearing once again.

"Just go cool off," I told him in a stern voice, but his gaze didn't leave Rachel, but with a moment, he turns to leave. Leaving Rachel and I, standing together. "Don't listen to him. He's just... Jason," I told her, as my eyes connected with her, but she seems sad and upset like he was right. She just give me a nod of her head and a thin smile.

"Thank you," she spoke softly, coming in and giving me a big hug. Rachel and I become close, we have a special connection and I love her to bits and I think she feels the same. I'm like a sister to her, she can always come talk to me about anything and I will always be there for her. I pulled back from the hug after a moment, giving her a warm smile. "I'm off to check on Dick. See if I can get answers," I told her, turning away and headed to the suit section before turning right and down the hallway to the tech room, seeing Dick at the door talking to Gar. But an odd reason made me turn invisible to them before they could see me.

"They're not gonna settle in," Dick spoke as I got closer to the room, hearing the back end of the conversation. "Hank and Dawn, and Donna, they're not staying," Dick made it perfectly clear.

"Did something happen between you guys?" Gar had asked innocently, but it made me wonder. The past has a way of popping back up and my teacher senses are tingling with Dick. I know when a secret is being kept...

"Keep looking," Dick said after a moment, before turning around and walked right pass me as I entered the tech room as Gar had spun back around. I become visible once again, standing behind Gar as he typed away on the touch screens.

"How's it going," I asked, making him jump in fright and spin around to stare at me, his hand over his heart.

"God! Don't do that," he states in shock, making me chuckle at his action.

"Sorry, but it's what I do," I replied back, my chuckle sliding into silence. "Just wanting to know what Dick wanted?" I ask him.

"He just wants me to motion the power grids and keep an eye out for any unusual disturbances. He's looking for Dr. Light," he spoke back to me as I nodded to him, another thing he neglected to tell me or the others.

"Hope you find him," I told Gar as he nodded his head firmly at me, before I spun on my feet and exited the tech room. I have no idea why Dick was keeping stuff from us, I thought we were meant to be a team. But I guess team leader doesn't trust us. 

Or me...
