The Judas Contract, Book 1: The Eyes of Tara Markov
Visiting Donna’s photography studio where Kory is modeling, Tara Markov is allowed to learn Wonder Girl and Starfire’s secret identities. Later, at Donna and Kory’s apartment, the group plans Terry and Donna’s upcoming wedding: Gar offers the use of Steve Dayton’s estate as a wedding site, and Donna asks Tara to replace the reluctant Raven as a bridesmaid, and Dick to give her away. From there, Gar and Tara go to watch the unsuccessful attempt of Sarah Simnis and her students to teach Cyborg to skate, and Cyborg, returning to his apartment, receives a telegram announcing the return of his world-traveling grandparents. Leaving Vic, Gar and Tara share a romantic moment before Tara returns to Titans Tower, where she has a brief but ominous discussion with Raven. The next day, the Titans stage a workout at their headquarters: Cyborg matches his strength against a magnetic testing device; Wonder Girl and Starfire fight a duel with staffs; and Changeling and Terra engage in a mock battle. When Changeling humiliates and antagonizes her, Terra completely loses her temper and counterattacks with her full power, almost killing him. She manages to excuse her violent behavior. She later reports the Titans’ identities and activities to the Terminator. As the Terminator and his aide, Wintergreen, leave with Terra to put their plan to capture the Titans into motion, they are unaware that they are being observed from afar.
