It has been a month since the team learned of Roman Sionis being the possible seller to Deathstroke. But the trail has been cold, there have been no reports of any thugs robbing banks with these enhanced weapons and even though there have been more of those generators found, it wasn't enough to go on. 

Demi: Come on... give me something, anything...

Demi was chilling on a roof, keeping an eye out on the city below him, and the other on his slice of pizza.

Raven: Enjoying yourself?

Demi: Huh? Oh, hey, Raven. Uh... not really.

Raven: It's been some time since we've had some... action. Maybe it's a good thing.

Demi: Maybe. It just seems... too quiet around here... is that normal here?

Raven: No. But regardless, we should be ready for anything.

Demi: You want a slice?

Raven: Sure. She takes a slice from the pie

Nightwing: Is that pizza I smell? Let me have one!

Starfire: I will also have a slice!

Nightwing and Starfire eavesdropped on the two's lunch. They each took a slice from the pie and sat down next to Demi and Raven.

Demi: Ok then...

Nightwing: So, what's the story between you two?

Demi: Huh?

Starfire: Yes, I'd also like to know how you two are handling it!

Demi: What?

Raven: What?

Nightwing: Maybe we should talk to them separately, honey.

Starfire: Agreed. Rae, can you come over here for a second? I need to talk to you about something!

Raven nodded and followed Starfire over to another roof to talk.

Nightwing: So?

Demi: I don't know what you're talking about...

Nightwing: Come on, man. We both see it. You clearly like her. And I have very good reason to believe she likes you. Why don't you tell her how you feel?

Demi: Ok. First of all, what proof do you have that she does have feelings for me? And second, I have zero dating experience, period.

Nightwing: Kori and I have known Raven for a long time now. And let me say, it's very rare to see her even smirk! But ever since you showed up, it's like you flicked a light on for her. I know Kori sees it too.

Demi: I thought she wasn't into that stuff.

Nightwing: Well, you'll never know unless you ask!

Meanwhile...

Starfire:  ...I don't see what the problem is.

Raven: You know how I handle feelings, and you know what I've been through.

Starfire:  Why should it matter? It's who you are now that's important. And who you are is how he sees you.

Raven: I'm not ready for that, Kori. I just can't with everything going on right now.

Starfire: I understand. But at some point, you have to open up to him. Not everyone is telepathic. So... what do you like about him?

Raven: He's... different from everyone else. He may not be as serious as Damian or as goofy as Garfield. But he has this sense of wisdom, and...

Starfire: And? 

Raven: Doesn't matter. I can't let this affect my current objective, which is to keep my father under control. I think we're done here...

Starfire: I know...

After that, they all went back to the tower with the rest of the team. Another uneventful day. Sam was in the kitchen with a map on the counter. He was circling all the spots where the Titans had found a generator.

Damian: What're you doing, Sam?

Sam: Trying to find answers.

Damian: You've marked down all the locations of these generators. Why?

Sam: Maybe where they're placed signifies something like a master switch. All the ones we found have been found underground.

Damian: It's possible. But that doesn't help to find it.

Sam: Yeah... we need more...

Dick: Hey, everyone! We have an announcement to make.

Everyone gathered in the lounge to hear what Dick had to say.

Dick: I know we are all wondering what our next move is, but we don't have enough information to find this Roman Sionis, if he even exists. So, I've decided to contact Batman about this and I'll be taking some of us to the Batcave where we can discuss it in person. I'll give you further details shortly.

Everyone then parted off to chat about the news

Jamie: You know if it's Batman, it's serious.

Jon: Oh, come on, the guy doesn't even have superpowers compared to us!

Damian: Don't underestimate Father, Jon. He's more intelligent than you, even if you tried.

Sam went back to his room. He was wondering who was going with Dick to see the Caped Crusader.

Dick: Sam? Can I come in?

Sam: Yeah, Dick...

Dick walked into Sam's room to talk.

Dick: Just wanted to let you know that you, Rachel, Damian, Jon, Kori, and I are going to Gotham.

Sam: Yes! Let's go!

Dick: Pack what you need. We'll likely be in the mansion for a while. We'll leave tomorrow morning.

Dick left to tell the other Titans going. Meanwhile, Sam started packing his bag for his trip.

Sam: Oh... that would be handy...

He took out a can of spray paint from the drawer. He had a brilliant idea for the trip. After putting it in his bag, he heard another knock on the door.

Sam: Who is it?

Rachel: It's me... 

Sam: Oh... Rae... you can come in.

She phased through the door to see him packing still.

Rachel: How are you feeling about this?

Sam: Pretty excited, not gonna lie. I'm eager to meet the guy who almost put me in jail on Day 1... You?

Rachel: Yeah. I'm also quite interested in going. I need to get out more anyway...

Sam: Rae?

Rachel: It's nothing...

Sam: It isn't... let me guess... Is Garfield giving you a hard time?

Rachel: I wouldn't say that. He's still grieving.

Sam: Well, uh... at least you're getting away, right?

Rachel: Right... thanks for understanding...

Sam: Of course. Anything for a friend...

Rachel: Um... I should get packing too, I guess... See you...

Sam: See ya, Rae.

She phased out of the room through the wall back to her room. Sam then starts to think about what Dick was talking about. She seems happy when around him, but he wonders how he could make it work out. Regardless, he hopes he can still make some people happy like that.
