     A young girl stepped in, maybe 14 or 15.
     She had blonde hair, and she wore a black mask shaped like Damian's, a brown and orange leotard, black gloves, and black boots.
     "Who are you?" Damian yelled at her.
     "Please," she responded shakily. "I-I just need some help. My name is T-Terra, and I'm lost. This was the only building I could find.
     "I just need a place to stay, a-and some food, and—"
     "Why did you come here?" Damian interrupted.
     She took a while to answer. "I was sent here," she said. "O-on a m-mission. I was told to  find the Titans. And..."
     She got a devilish look on her face.
     "Kill them!"
     As soon as she said that, they heard something outside.
     As they looked out the window, they saw two giant rocks coming up, each with a yellowish glow around them, along with Terra's hands.
     The boulders came straight at the Titans, but luckily, Cyborg blasted it away.
     "Get her!" Batman yelled.
     Just as he said that, a smaller rock smacked him in the head.
     "Father!" Damian yelled, throwing his sword down and rushing over to his father.
     Finally, Raven blasted Terra in the stomach, knocking her down and unconscious.
     "Lock her up," Kori told them. "In the spare room we have. Raven, you barricade it, that way she can't get out."
     Robin looked at his father, a sad expression on his face. Batman nodded, almost bringing tears to Damian's eyes.
     "Do I have to?" he asked, sounding devastated.
     "I'm sorry, son," replied the Dark Knight. "It has to be this way."
     Robin nodded, asking,"When?"
     "In two days."
     Robin nodded, removing his green mask. As he got up, he glanced at Raven, tears in his eyes. He quickly walked away towards his room, wiping away the tears.
     "Well," said Garfield loudly. "That was awkward."
     Everyone stared at him.
     "What?"

     The next morning, Damian was strangely quiet.
     He was eating his breakfast on the couch, minding his own business (for once), when Raven came and sat next to him.
     "What's wrong," she asked soothingly, placing her hand on Damian's shoulder.
     "I... I don't exactly want to talk about it."
     Raven stared at him.
     He knew he'd have to tell her sooner or later.
     "I... I have to leave." Her eyes widened. "I really don't want to, I just... Father thinks it's the best way to keep you, the team, safe.
     "We knew this would happen some day. With Deathstroke back, we knew he would get someone.
     "And we knew it would be her."
     Raven opened her mouth to say something, but Damian interrupted.
     "We've seen her before."
     Raven looked confused. She pulled her hand down.
     "You've...seen her before? When, where?"
Damian shrugged. He clearly didn't feel like talking about it now.
Or there was something to hide.

When Damian got back to his room, he slowly dressed into something new. Well, actually old; he just never thought he'd wear it again.
He figured that if he was to go back to the League of Assassins, he may as well wear his old uniform.
He hadn't worn it in around two years, not since he was brought back from a fight.
Before he became Robin.
"Well, Mother," he said to himself. "Your son's coming home."
