Please take note that I do not own Teen Titans at all. DC Comics, Warner Brothers, and Cartoon Network do. I only own the plot. However, some of the ideas I got from other's stories. Please enjoy and don't forget to review! This chapter is the start of a dark period in Raven's life, but will feature a romance between Beast Boy and Raven in the future. I'll try to update as often as possible. FYI, there might be the start of a trigger in this chapter. There definitely will be one in future chapters though.

"Titans, GO!"

The five superheroes burst into action at the sound of their familiar call. Cinderblock and Dr. Light were currently trying to break into the Titan Tower. Apparently, they had a grudge against the Titans for putting them in prison. Cinderblock was in common room, he had fallen from the sky to shatter the glass and break the large TV. Dr. Light was plunging through the basement.

"Beast Boy, Starfire, and Cyborg, you guys take Cinderblock. Raven, you and I will take Dr. Light."

"Come on Nightwing, its Changeling now!" Changeling yelled right before he morphed into an ox. Nightwing had changed his name and identity around his 17 birthday. His old mentor had needed it in order to train a new sidekick and the old Robin wanted to try something fresher. That was four years ago. Now it was Beast Boy's turn to change his name. Since he had turned 18, he no longer wanted to be a "Boy" and going by the Beast was out of the question. It was just going to take the team some time to get used to his new name.

Raven drew her dark magic close and floated through floors to the basement with Robin. They appeared through the ceiling, dropping in front of Dr. Light.

"Time to bring out the light." Their enemy smirked at his natural enemy, Raven, before throwing a light bomb at Nightwing. He dogged the bomb, but was immediately hit with the after blast, throwing him into the T car. The windshield cracked as he landed on it, knocking him out almost immediately. Normally a blow like that wouldn't have knocked him out so quickly, but he was already exhausted from his nightly activities with Starfire.

"Nightwing!" Raven called, she reached out with her link to make sure he was okay. Seeing that he fine, she turned to her attacker with white eyes.

"Time to snuff out the Light."

Dr. Light's laughter sent chills down Raven's back.

Why isn't he scared? He should be terrified after the last time we saw him.

"Not this time little girl." He threw a blast at her, cloaking her in light smoke.

What is this stuff?

She waved away the smoke and gathered her energy to blast Dr. Light into another dimension. Preferably one without light. But her powers wouldn't surface. She felt like she was completely drained.

How is this possible? What happened?

Dr. Light snuck up on Raven in the smoke, making sure to grab her upper arms as soon as she realized that she didn't have her magic.

"Let's see how well you fare without your magic." He tightened his hold on her arms, making sure to leave bruises.

"Let me go!" Raven kicked her legs up in order to try and kick his head. He anticipated the attack and let go of her arms in order to grab her ankles instead. He gripped them tightly again, only letting go of his strong grip when he felt the defining crack of her ankles breaking.

"Ah!" Raven cried out as she felt her ankles break and dislocate. She felt herself falling suddenly, and her cloak being ripped off her back.

"Where's the fun in that?" Raven grimaced at the deadly tone of his voice. Dr. Light caught her by her throat and threw her into the wall. Dazed, she tried to stand, but she quickly fell to the ground in pain. She didn't have legs to walk away or her magic to levitate away.

Now what do I do?

Dr. Light walked menacingly over to Raven. It was as if he was stalking prey and Raven was his prey. Thinking fast, she rolled over away from him, but he lunged for her hair and trapped her beneath him.

"Where do you think you are going? I'm not done with you yet." He smirked at her as he brushed the hair away from her face.

What is he doing?

He dropped a hand to her throat and slowly tightened his grip. Raven thrashed and tried to throw him off her. He reacted by pinning her wrists under his knees.

"You ruined my life little devil. You took away the light. I took away your darkness. Now I'm going to take away your life." He dropped the hand that wasn't around her throat to his crotch and started to rub himself. Raven's eyes opened in horror, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't get away.

He grimaced as she tried to escape again and pushed on her gem that lay in her forehead while squeezing her throat.

"Stop!" came her cry as white pain clouded her sight. Her gem was very sensitive and the oxygen loss wasn't making it any easier.

"Time to put some light in you." He uttered words that sent shivers down her spine again. Fortunately, Nightwing choose this time to start waking up. Unfortunately, Dr. Light noticed.

"Just one moment dear." Dr. Light raised himself off of Raven who took the chance to bolt. He smirked and grabbed her wrists, pulling them behind her back. With ease, he managed to pop both shoulders out while bending her forearms to unnatural angles. He smirked at her screams of pain and threw another light bomb at the boy. This time he was hit with both blasts from the bomb and would be knocked out cold for hours.

Raven tried to do everything she could to get away, but Dr. Light had broken her every way possible so that she couldn't. He stepped on her knee cap, bending her leg backwards as he stalked back to his prey. That blow was just for fun.

When did he get so good?

The old man had beaten her at her own game in minutes, almost as if this whole ordeal was planned. He watched as the realization that this was a planned attack crossed her face.

"Oh yes, this was planned. And I have so much more to do to you." He answered with an edge of foreboding in his voice as he stalked over to his prey. She wouldn't be getting out of this one it would seem.
