Aria looked over at Donna who had just gotten off the phone with Rachel once again, Aria shook her head as she walked up to her friend. She was upset with herself for letting her guard down enough for them to get taken but she knew that it wasn't her fault and they were going to get them back from Cadmus safely.

"This had to be Cadmus," Aria stated to the woman

"We don't know that for sure but what we do know is Rachel could help us," Donna stated to convince

"Where is she telling us to go?" Aria asked with a sigh

"Elko, Nevada," Donna responded to the blonde

"Road trip snacks?" Aria questioned looking at the food

"Better cozy, it's going to be a drive," Donna stated grabbing a blanket

"I could just fly us there, ya know," Aria remarked as they walked out

"And get motion sick, no thanks," Donna scolded with an eye roll

Aria rolled her eyes before getting into the car, shortly they were walking into Elk Diner where Rachel was angry and upset to see the two but she didn't say anything until they walked into the diner.

"Why are you following me?" Rachel questioned when she saw them

"You called us and told us to come here," Aria stated to the girl in confusion

"No, I didn't," Rachel claimed while shaking her head

"My engine light went out, Kory?" Dawn asked as well

"I'm just here for the donuts," Kory stated in a tone

"Bruce?" Aria questioned as she saw the man

"I'm so glad you all could make it, this is troubling news," Bruce stated as they sat down

"And no Conner or Gar?" Dawn asked with concern

"No, we found bloody paw prints and broken glass, and no one shut down the mainframe," Donna explained to the man

"Gar wouldn't leave it like that," Aria defended the boy

"So, when Rachel called me, I thought maybe she knew where they were," Donna explained before Rachel shook her head

"I never talked to them," Rachel stated in confusion

"I am aware of what's happened to all of you and I'm sorry, lies can tear a family apart and you've been living in the aftermath of that, it's a lonely place to be but this was a family of choice and the breaking apart was a choice, I'm asking you to make another one to come together, walking away from bad feelings is easy. It's much harder to take the blow and come back for more, but that's what a family does. If you can unite, you can face any threat but if darkness arrives while you're still cast apart, I truly believe that none of you will survive. If you won't protect one another, who will?" Bruce questioned before walking out

"Did he just leave?" Dawn asked looking out the window

"So, let me get this straight, Bruce Wayne somehow miraculously arranged for us all to meet in this diner in the middle of nowhere to mansplain us into putting the Titans back together?"

"Yup, I think that's exactly what just happened," Aria remarked looking at her

"Today's top story, two men escape Kane Jail, apparently aided by imprisoned Detroit Police Detective Dick Grayson, more details on this story and more on our next news update," The News reporter stated on the TV

You gotta be fucking kidding me," Donna mumbled before walking out

"Troy, where are you going?" Dawn asked following after her

"Back to San Francisco," Donna stated to her friends

"No, we need to save Dick," Rachel reminded with an eye roll

"Dick's on his own," Donna responded making Rachel scoff

"What is wrong with you?" Rachel asked in anger

"Me? Look, I know Dick Grayson, okay? He put himself up on that cross, nailed himself to it, and now he's going to have to take himself down, too," Donna scolded the man

"Donna's right, whatever Dick's doing, he's doing to himself," Dawn agreed with her friends

"I'm having dreams again, I was at Dick's funeral and Deathstroke killed him but Dick needs my help and I need yours," Rachel pleaded with the two

"I'm sorry, Rachel but Gar needs us more," Donna stated before walking off

"I get why you're doing this, I do but I'm going to go with Donna," Dawn spoke in a soft tone

"As soon as you're done here, you come to find us, okay?" Aria stated before getting into the car

Aria got into the backseat before they started to drive back to the tower so they could look and double-check over it once again, Aria was mostly worried about Gar and Conner other than Dick since she knew that he could handle himself no matter what.
