Dick's pov:

"Hello Titans, I've called this meeting to let you all know that Rose Wilson has been murdered." The Titans gasped and looked at each other in shock and a bit sad. After all, she was only a teenager, under the influence of her father, Deathstroke. "Even though she was our enemy, that is still tragic." Jaime stated  with a deep facial expression. "What happened?" Damian asked curiously. "I'm not sure who killed her but me and Kori found her outside of the Tower, lifeless and brutally wounded. Poor girl, she didn't really get much of a chance in life, only being taught to kill and treat us as enemies and never trust anyone by her father."  "I know what it is like to be brought up under the influence of someone who you admired but really, they are just a manipulative murderer with a twisted view on the human race and life. At least  I got the chance to redeem myself and become a better person, with the help of family and friends." Damian admitted, receiving sympathetic faces looking him in the eyes. "No need to look at me like that, I'm not the one who died." He stated, and everyone backed off and found something else to look at. "Yeah, Whoever lunatic responsible for this unforgiving crime, wanted to frame us by leaving Rose outside the Tower and now her father thinks that we killed her." Kori said, looking towards the ground. "Slade really believes that we would commit such a crime, knowing our moral ways? In fact he knows me better than the rest of you, and is well aware that I do not kill anymore out of respect for father and you lot." Damian pointed out with a look of suspicion in his eyes. "Damian has a point, this seems awfully sketchy to me." Garfield agreed. "Well it also seems awfully sketchy that our enemy is lying dead outside our Tower. Do you get where I'm going with this?" I reasoned. "Yes, Dick is right in the fact that we do look suspicious. Who would want to frame us though, and get Slade on our backs." Kori agreed. "I don't know but we are gonna find out and lock them away before we all get beheaded by Deathstroke." Raven chimed in. "We also need proof that it wasn't us, the public have already been posting ideas on this on social medias." Connor added. "Stupid fools, thinking we have something to do with a murder is pathetic." Damian stated harshly. "Do you know what weapon was used to wound Rose so badly?" Donna asked. "Well she had like claw marks and ripped flesh, we think she was attacked by something." I suggested. "If it was something, then how would it want to frame us so Slade would want vengeance?" Raven asked. "Maybe the something, is also Human or has human knowledge." Jaime suggested. "That's a good idea, since we currently have Rose's body, I can examine it and take some tests." I replied. "Dick, remember she's resting in peace, not a lab experiment." Kori remarked. "Don't worry I will be respectful but this is crucial for finding out who or what really did this" I stated. Kori reluctantly nodded. "Meanwhile, you guys need to watch your backs, Slade will be after us." I reminded them and walked out of the room to find out what really happened to the young vigilante.

In Raven's room, Raven's pov:

I tried to get my mind off Rose's murder by meditating. I heard a knock on my door and opened it to see Damian. "Are you okay?" He asked in a concerned tone. "Yes, just meditating as usual." I replied, opening the door fully to let him in. I sat  back on the floor and he joined me. "After you've finished your meditation, would you like to train with me?" He asked. "Yeah sure." After I finished we went downstairs to the training room and spared for a couple hours. We both won two rounds each and decided to call it quits and call it even. The other titans were doing their own things. "I wish we could of saved Rose, she didn't deserve that fate." I said. "Obviously someone wanted Slade to kill us." "But we save lives, everyone knows we fight for the greater good. Why would someone do such a thing." "Not everyone believes we fight for the greater good and wants us dead. They wouldn't of joined forces with Slade because if he found out that they killed Rose, then it wouldn't be us he's after." Damian replied, dabbing his face with a towel. "Maybe they are working with Slade but made it look like we murdered Rose and Slade doesn't know it yet." I suggested. "I saw the corpse earlier, it definitely looked like she was attacked by something." "Are you saying that it could be an animal or creature that killed her?" "Maybe so. Someone might of sent a creature to kill Rose or they might of attacked her like that themself." Damian stated. " I think I know who may of murdered her..." Damian realised. "Who?" I asked. "Cheetah. She has claws that looked like the claw marks on Rose's body, she has human like intellect so could arrange something like that. It makes sense, she hates us." Damian concluded. "Are you sure? It could of been any creature with claws." "Raven, you need to trust me on this one." He said, grabbing my hand and holding it between his own hands. He had a serious expression but a glint of worry in his eyes. Sensing this being an empath, I asked "Damian what's wrong?" "Do you trust me?" "Yes." I reassured him. "When we last encountered Cheetah, she said she would get revenge on us and we will suffer the consequences of locking her away in Arkham asylum a couple years ago." "I believe you, but what are we gonna do?" I questioned the boy wonder. "We are going to get her ourselves." "You mean just us two without backup? Damian we should tell the others." I argued. "No they should stay here. Deathstroke is going to try to kill us, they need to stay here. We need to get Cheetah and bring her back here to interrogate her, the others will not agree with that plan. Raven will you help me do what's necessary to save us?" Damian said. "Ok, what do we do first?"

Donna's pov:

"Connor we should go!" I laughed as he kissed me again in his room. "Not yet." He said as he brushed a piece of my hair behind my ear and kissed me again. I kissed back and he pushed me up against the wall. We carried on kissing before my senses knocked back into me, I pulled away. He had a disappointed expression and pleading eyes which made me melt. "Connor, as much as I would love to do this all evening, they're gonna get suspicious of us." I stated. "Then let them, we can do what we want, it's not up to them." He argued, gently putting his hands on my shoulders and looking at me with that charming face that I can never resist. "Alright, point taken." I replied, pulling in for another kiss and pushing him against the wall this time.

Garfield's pov:

Me and Dick were playing a serious game of chess, I wasn't gonna let him win this time. I moved my chess piece and knocked his over. "Checkmate!" I declared, followed by Jaime and Kori cheering. "Babe I thought you would be on my side." Dick said, looking towards Kori with a disapproving glare. "Oh sorry Dick, I'm just cheering because I'm happy that this game is over, I'm getting bored." She stated in a sassy tone. We all laughed at Kori for being bitchy at Dick. "Alright!" Dick backed off. "Who's turn is it to make the tea?" Jaime changed the subject. "You dude!" I said as we all pointed at Jaime in unison. "Fine." He said as he reluctantly walked off to the kitchen to make us all a cup of tea. "What shall we watch tonight?" Kori asked. "Stranger Things!" I shouted. "Please... NO!" Dick pleaded. "Gar, we watched all of season two in one go last night." Kori pointed out. "Fine just not Riverdale okay, that's a load of shit!" I replied. "I like Riverdale, but okay, we have watched a lot of that recently. Dick, any ideas?" Kori said turning towards her boyfriend who was stuck in thought. "Sex education?" He suggested in a playful tone. "Yeah we need to see Oatis being banged!" I joked.  "NO! That series is not appropriate!" Kori exclaimed. Mother of the year! "Errrm what about Tiger King?" Dick suggested. "Sure I can deal with that." I agreed. "Yes so can I , I will go and get the others and ask them if they want to watch it with us." Kori replied, walking off.

Kori's pov:

I went upstairs and walked through the corridor to see Donna and Connor going out of Connor's room at the same time with smiles on their faces. "What have you guys been up to?" I asked. They both blushed and avoided eye contact. Why were they acting this awkward? "Errrr w-we were just... studying, and won a science quiz!" Connor stuttered. "Yeah, we are great at science!" Donna added. Seriously, why were these two acting so weird? "Errrm ok. Would you two like to join us downstairs to watch Tiger King?" I asked. "Sure!" They said in unison. "Ok, I will get Damian and Raven." I said and left to go and find them. I looked everywhere but they were gone. "Damian? Raven? Where are you?!"
