Raven sensed that the boy was still alive. Wonder Girl
noticed he'd been shot. Raven tried to heal him, but passed
out while doing so. She fought back her father and regained
her senses. The boy, Paul Taylor, came to. He said he
was the brother of the kid who was hit by a car a few
days earlier. They went to the run away center where the
boy had been staying. There, the Titans ran into Roy Harper.
The boy refused to give up the address of his dead brother's
supplier, but Raven got it from him.
The Titans went back to the tower, and Roy got into his
Speedy costume. They took off in the T-Jet. Raven burst
on to the scene where the drug suppliers were giving packages
to kids for delivery. The Titans took on the goons while
Starfire and Wonder Girl destroyed the boat the shipment
came on. Two of the children were killed; all the mobsters
were either caught or killed after the cops arrived. |

father.
Once they heard where he might be, they headed off
