Sam: Yawns What happened?

He looks to the right of the bed to see Rachel fast asleep. She looks too cute to wake, but... You know. He lightly shoves her shoulder till she opens her eyes.

Rachel: Hm? 

Sam: Morning.

Rachel: Good morning. What time is it?

Sam: Almost time for breakfast.

Rachel: Right...

Sam: Thanks for last night. I needed that.

Rachel: I'd always help you, Sam.

Sam: I need to get changed and all... You good?

Rachel: Yeah. I'll see you at breakfast.

Sam nods before leaving the room. As he does, he notices that Garfield is waiting for him down the hall.

Garfield: Hey.

Sam: You alright?

Garfield: I want to say I'm sorry for yesterday... and for the last few weeks. I know now that not only are you a good person, but Rae is also happy with you. That should make me happy, too. Can you... Forgive me?

Sam: No, well, you kinda-- I'm just kidding.

He gives him a bro hug.

Garfield: Thanks. Also, Jamie said you were a beast at Mortal Kombat, right?

Sam: Are you asking for a rematch?

Garfield: Oh, you're going down!

Sam: We'll see. I guess we'll play tonight. See you at breakfast.

He then gave him a fist bump before heading down the hall for breakfast.

After breakfast, Dick had some news.

Dick: Okay, guys. Today we're doing a bit of recon. We'll scout out that abandoned oil rig the cops traced Deathstroke's suit back to. We don't know what to expect, so be ready for anything. We'll head out in an hour.

After they suited up and left, they eventually arrived at the oil rig within a few minutes. It was huge, with possibly so many rooms to check. This will take a while. Most of the Cyborg was scanning the building while the other Titans waited.

Beetle: Could Black Mask be in there?

Nightwing: It's possible, but after Deathstroke, it's also likely he and his goons are lying low.

Robin: Even if he isn't here, there could be evidence inside.

Cyborg: Alright. No sign of anyone inside.

Nightwing: Better safe than sorry. Star, Raven, you guys scope out the roof and the upper levels. Kid Flash, perimeter search, make sure there's no one else around. Everyone else, we'll clear out the lower floors and work our way up. Sound good?

Everyone nodded

Nightwing: Right. Titans, Go!

Everyone either jumped down or flew up to their assigned tasks. As Nightwing's team entered the building, it was like a horror movie; dark and eerie. 

Demi: It's like those scenes you see from parkour pov's.

Beelte: Really? You're comparing now?

Demi: Bad habit.

Nightwing: We'll check out the carts on the tracks first. See if there's anything in them.

One by one, they checked out the carts on the tracks. They were all either full of coal or empty. After that, they split off to cover more ground.

Beast Boy: Nothing. What now?

Demi: Well, those warehouses had secret tunnels underground. I'm wondering if this place has one too.

Cyborg: Scanning for structural weaknesses now. 

Cyborg made a quick scan of the ground below. His sensor went off after a minute.

Cyborg: My scans show a weakness in the south wall. But I can't tell what's on the other side.

Nightwing: Titans, converge on our location. We might have something.

Beetle quickly used his hand cannon to shoot through the wall, revealing an old elevator shaft. Once everyone else arrived, they said they found nothing else.

Robin: He could be down there.

Demi: Well, we know what we have to do. Let's head down.

They headed down one by one, some hovering down and others grappling down. Once they reached the bottom, the lights were on. Someone was down here.

Beetle: That proves it.

Starfire: Be careful. We don't know what to expect.

Cyborg: The walls are interfering with my sensors.

Demi: Perfect place to hide.

They walked down the hall until they reached an open door. When Robin looked through, he saw something glowing on the ground. It could be a bomb.

Robin: There's something on the floor.

They all walked through the door, but before Cyborg could analyze, the door slammed shut, and the device shut off. After a second, a screen turned on above them, showing a man with a mask sitting at his desk.

Black Mask: You know who I am.

Nightwing: Black Mask, I presume.

Black Mask: It's a shame what happened to Deathstroke. He was a valuable hitman.

Beetle: What do you want?

Black Mask: What do I want? To take back what's rightfully mine. This city.

Demi: Yeah. Why don't you tell us your very complicated back story? With background visuals and effects?

Black Mask: I don't have time for you troublemakers screwing up my plans. But I should thank you. You fell right into my little experiment.

The floor opened up, revealing a giant mech. It was activated, infused with that energy.

Black Mask: Without you, this city won't have any more problems when I run it. SO do me a favor and let it complete its purpose.

The mech armed up and started firing at the Titans. Raven quickly formed a shield to protect them.

Raven: We need to move!

Nightwing: Cyborg! Find us a way out of here!

Cyborg: I'm working on it!

Starfire: Let's keep it occupied!

Raven quickly pushed her shield towards the mech, temporarily stunning it.

Nightwing: Move!

They all spread out in the room, surrounding the mech as it readjusted.

Robin: Keep it distracted!

Beetle quickly soared up and fired shots at the back of the mech. It wasn't doing any damage, but it got its attention. Kid Flash then ran around its feet to try and get it off balance. Demi threw his sword at its arm, but its armor just deflected it like a twig.

Demi: This isn't working!

Cyborg: I got it! Behind the screen!

Starfire quickly flew up and drilled through the screen, through some rubble, which led to the outside.

Starfire: Come on!

Raven held the mech back with her powers while Beast Boy transformed into a dragon to carry out the Titans, who couldn't fly. She eventually broke it before soaring out, collapsing the rubble behind her. Everyone, out of breath, headed back to the Tower.

When they got back, Nightwing gathered everyone in the lounge.

Nightwing: Well... at least we found something...

Robin: That thing almost killed us!

Starfire: We escaped. That's what's important. Now we need to figure out something else.

Cyborg: We can't call the League. They're off-world right now.

Demi: We can control this, guys. We're not in over our heads.

Raven: What can we do?

Nightwing: I'll think of something. Right now, let's take the night to relax, got it?

Everyone agreed before heading back to their rooms. After, Sam headed for the kitchen to get a glass of water. He was still thinking about the mech. He's never felt overpowered by something like that.

Sam: First time for everything...

He headed back to his room before hearing noises coming from Rachel's room. He ran in to find her, yet again, shaking in her covers.

Sam: Rae? What's happening?! 

Rachel: I can... control this!
