The next day at breakfast Dick had told the teens that he was letting the girl leave, claiming he would be driving her where she wanted to go.

Jason took this opportunity to use the Comms room to figure out the mystery girls identity.

"Come on" Jason mumbled, him and Jade standing behind Gar as he focused on the computer.

"Match identified" The computers robotic voice reported.

"Rose Wilson. And that's her dad, Slade Wilson" Gar said leaning back in his chair.

Jade perked up at the name, looking at the screen in disbelief.

"No fucking way" Jason said, leaning his palms on the desk next to Gar.

"What?" Gar questioned, confused by Jason and Jade's reactions.

"Deathstroke" Jade and Jason chorused, turning to each other in awe.

"Go get Dick" Jason said to Jade, knowing she would get there fastest.

Nodding determinedly, Jade sped off towards the exit, coming across Dick talking to Rachel.

"Dick, there's something you should see. Comms room, now" Jade commanded, walking back with the pair.

"That's Rose's father?" Rachel asked

"Yep. The one and only Deathstroke" Jason said, crossing his arms, seemingly in awe of the mercenary.

"Is that somebody you know" Rachel asked Dick, seeing the conflict on his face.

"Kind of. Old Titans business" Dick answered vaguely.

"Check it. Former Delta Force commando. Part of H.I.V.E. 'Select soldiers who underwent a series of experimental bio-enhancements'" Gar read "Out of the Thirty-five trial 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-" Gar said, oblivious to the grimace that overtook Dick's face when Deathstroke's son was mentioned.

"I'll take it from here" Dick said, cutting Gar off before switching off the monitor.

"Security alert. Main entrance. Access denied" The robotic voice said.

Turning on a smaller monitor, Dick sighed recognising the people who were causing the alarm.

"So I guess you changed the code" The brunette on the screen said.

"Finally" Rachel said with a laugh, hurrying out the door the others following behind her.

"You guys have no idea how much this place misses you" Rachel said, walking over to the strangers who had just exited the elevator.

"This place, huh?" The pretty blonde said, pulling Rachel into a hug.

"Mostly just me" Rachel responded, causing the woman to laugh.

"And me, too" Gar added, going in for a hug after Rachel had let go.

"Hey" The woman greeted him, Jason and Jade standing awkwardly off to the side, leaning into eachother as per usual.

"So, where's Kory" Rachel asked, looking around the group.

"She sort of vanished" Said the brunette Jade now recognised as Wonder Girl.

"What do you mean by vanished" Rachel asked.

"I don't know. She's not answering her phone" Wonder Girl replied " 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"
