"DID IT WORK?" JASON ASKED ONCE HE noticed Paige still in the building.

"No, it didn't. He gave me a pity hug and told me not to worry about it," Paige complained.

"Well, I guess you're stuck here too." Dick, Hank, Donna, and Dawn had gone out to try and put a stop to Dr. Light. The man had escaped prison not too long ago, and ever since then, he's been attacking people left and right. Rose and Dick had been victims of one of his attempted attacks, but they had managed to escape before either of them could get hurt.

Now, Dr. Light had to recharge his power and his solution to the problem was by redirecting the city's power to a stadium. So now that the former Titans were gone, the only one's left in the tower were Paige, Jason, Gar, Rachel, and Rose.

Jason's eyebrows suddenly furrowed as he thought to himself. "Wait, why are you stuck here?"

"Guess I didn't make the cut. I'm gonna assume that's why you're walking around in your Robin suit," she mentioned, pointing to his outfit.

"Didn't get the time to change." As he shrugged she felt herself become lightheaded. Jason stopped her from hitting the ground once he noticed she was falling. "Are you okay?"

She shook her head as she shut her eyes tightly. Without realizing, her eyes opened before they rolled to the back of her head. He took a step back, not knowing what to do or how to help. Before he had the chance to get someone else, her eyes went back to normal as she blinked a couple of times.

"What the hell was that?!"

"What was what?" Paige asked, searching his face for answers as he let go of her once she was stable enough to stand on her own.

"Your eyes just rolled back into your head. I thought you were like dying or something."

"No, I'm fine— Wait, what? They did?" He nodded in response, still confused about whatever it was that he had just witnessed. "Anyway, they didn't catch him."

"Who?"

"They didn't catch Dr. Light."

"How do you know?"

Paige shrugged before responding, "I don't know, I saw it happen. He was pinned underneath a motorcycle and Dick was in front of him. A bus pulled up and then Dr. Light was gone."

He furrowed his eyebrows as all the information ran his brain before his eyes snapped over to meet hers. "Did you just have a vision?" Jason asked. "I didn't know you could do that."

"That makes two of us."

While she waited for the team to return, Paige had been sitting in front of the Batcomputer watching news reports of Dr. Lights' recent appearances. Nothing was out of the ordinary until all the monitors went dark. Furrowing her eyebrows, she sat straight in her chair as she looked for a way to turn them back on before an image popped up on the center screen.
