One day, at the Teen Titans headquarters, stood another teen, willing to join them. "This must be it then." he said. He looked up. The giant building was in form of T. 'Seems excessive with only five members.' he thought. Nonetheless, he pushed, what he assumed to be a doorbell. A horn was heard.

"Cyborg! I told you NOT, to replace the doorbell!" someone yelled.
"Just get the damn door, Robin!" a second voice yelled. Instead of the door opening, a computerscreen appeared.
"Good morning stranger, state your business." the boy wonder asked.
"I can come inside and tell you." he answered knowing what he could do.
"Oh yes, sure you may enter our establishment." a girl said, who had suddenly entered the screen. She pushed a button and the door opened. He smirked, then swept in with his dark veil trailing behind him.
"I don't think you'd get far." someone said, hiding in the shadows.
"You must be Raven." he said and turned around to see the hooded girl.
"Yeah. Can we get it over with, so I can get back to my books." she said in her usual monotone voice.
"Fair enough." He held out his hands, as if he was gonna be cuffed. "Take me to the others."

"I want to join you." Raven had done as he had asked and took him to the rest of the titans.
"You wanna join us? We don't even know who you are." the green Beast Boy said.
"You could find out. In due time of course." he said as politely as he was able to. Living under the radar has its effects.
"I don't think we can trust you. As Beast Boy said, we have no idea who you are." Robin said.
"I do." the cloaked Raven said. "I don't know his name, but I do know that he could be of some help."
"Well, it's not a surprise that you of all people know of me. My name is Hades, Son of the rider known as Death." he said in a calm manner. Everyones jaw dropped.
"Wait. Your father is called Death, as in that he is one of the riders of the apocalypse?!" Cyborg asked with even more anxiety than before.
"He is now. Before that he was Hades, even further back he was just an ordinary man. I'm his spawn. Created of nothing but death. I swear I won't cause any, I just think that I'd fit in more here." He paused. "Details will follow, if you let me join."
"I think tha-" Robin was interrupted by Raven.
"For some reason, I trust you Hades." she said. He bowed in response.
"Thank you milady. Anyone else?" he asked.
"Well if Raven finds you trustworthy, then I trust you too." the ever so cheerful Starfire said.
"Good enough for me I guess, but it's up to you Robin." Beast Boy said. Robin took a moment to think about it. He then sighed.
"One chance." he answered.
"Wonderful. Let me show you your new room." Starfire said and grabbed him by the wrist.
'WOAH. Okay then.'

He had no problem settling in, as there were no shortage of rooms to choose from. Furnishing wouldn't be a problem either. He had his veil to fill it out. The first one to check it out was Raven. Before she knocked, Hades slipped out of the door cracks.
"Hi Raven. Curious are we?" he asked. Raven had her hood on, so Hades couldn't see her slight blush.
"No. Just here to see if you settled in okay." she answered, without studdering.
"Come on in then. I'd be happy to show you." he said with his best smile. Raven was slightly suprised by his open, yet dark nature. He pushed a button and the door slided open. There was nothing to see but darkness.
"Please, enter." he said. She slowly stepped into the black void.
"There is nothing here." she said, being slightly dissapointed.
"Oh it's there." he said and put his hand around her eyes. Her face blushed bright red.
"You just have to look a little harder." he said with a voice so soft, it would make most pass out. He then removed his hands to reveal the truth. His room was not just darkness. It was actually similar to Raven's room. Dimly lit, a shelf with artifacts and books. In a corner was his bed and a tv on the left wall with a black leather couch and a small table in front of it. "What do you think?" he asked. Raven snapped back into reality.
"It's okay." she said, not exactly knowing what to say.
"Oh.." He was hoping for a little more. "Well it's something. Feels like home." he said with a smile and threw himself on to his bed. "Everything is made up of my veil. So I can add or take anything away if I want. Except for the tech. Can't do anything about that." he said and demonstrated by adding a small table by his bed.
"So none of it is here?" she asked with curiosity.
"Well. Technically I guess. But you can see it right?" he asked. She nodded lightly. "It's just darkness. If you don't want to see it, then you can't and it then it's not there. He knew quite well how to make sense of these kind of things. "What about you?" he asked. Her eyes widened a bit. "I would like to get to know you. Join me." he suggested and patted a spot next to him. She blushed even more.
"Uhm sure. I guess." she said and moved towards the bed accept the invitation.
"And why don't you take that hood off. It would make it more personal if I could actually see who I'm talking to." he said with a small laugh.
"Sure." she said and took it off. Now it was Hades' turn to blush. Even though her skin was pale, almost gray, she still had stunning features, perfectly shown off by her short purple hair. Her eyes were an even darker purple. 'Wow..' he thought.
When she said down, she blushed a bit as well. "Well. Where do I start?" she said.

They had spent most of the day chatting, sharing personal opinions and even feelings. Something that was rare with Raven. "Wow. Trigon seems like a real asshole to me." he said while laughing.
"Yeah, he really is." Raven said also laughing a bit. This was one of the only times someone had got her going with her emotions, with no disasterous consequences. "It's nice actually talking to someone." she said. "This kind of thing doesn't happen to often."
"Well, I do seem to have that kind of effect on people." he said and smiled.
*BEEP BEEP*. Raven's T-communicator had started beeping.
"Trouble?" he asked her.
"Yeah." She pressed a button. Robin appeared on-screen.
"There's trouble Raven. It's Jinx and her goons. She's trying to rob a jewelry store." he said.
"We'll be there." Hades said. "I'll show you what I can do." Robin nodded and turned it off. "Let's get going then." he said and went for the door. Raven floated behind him and followed him outside.
"How are you gonna get there?" she asked.
He smirked and said, "I think I'll take the high way." He then slowly ascended and transformed into a giant black eagle. His red eyes glowed menacingly. He swooped up Raven and flew towards the city.

Seeing what had happened there, was a bit of a shocker. Surrounding the jewelry store were crumbling buildings. Hades appeared in front of Raven.
"What a mess. Guess we have things to do. Brace yourself." he said and nosedived. He had flown before, so he had no problem flying so low. When they saw Jinx running, Hades flew ahead and turned as soon as he was in her way. Raven jumped off and he turned into a dire wolf. He howled and pounced her.
"Gah! What the fuck?!" she yelled. His dark wolf form went down her arms to pin her. "Your a handsome wolfie aren't you?" she said seductively. "I'm sorry, but I don't have time to play. Mammoth! Get him!" she yelled. 'Mammoth?' His thought process was interrupted by Mammoth's giant fist, sending him flying through a brick wall.
"So you're Mammoth?" He cracked his neck. "I get it." he said. His veil went through his hands, turning them into pure darkness. "Let's dance!" he roared and ran to Mammoth. Mammoth retaliated by trying to punch him in the face, but Hades dodged it and uppercutted him through two floors. He jumped up and hit him in the stomach, sending back to the streets. Mammoth's thick skin did little to help against Hades' strength.
"Mammoth! We'll retreat for now!" Jinx was busy battling, or running from, the rest of the titans. Mammoth grunted and leapt to Jinx and picked her up. "See ya later wolfie." she said with a lustful smile. Mammoth then made a massive jump towards the city borders. Hades walked over to the others.
"Well that was kinda weird. Robin, is this what they usually do?" he asked. He had a striking suspicion that this wasn't gonna be the last time they would see them.
"No, it isn't. They're usually more and petty crime isn't really their thing." he answered with a thoughtful expression. He was also pussled by this unusual behavior. "Whatever it is they're up to, we will have to keep an eye out. Let's go home for now." And so they did.

AT AN UNKNOWN LOCATION...

"Did you get what I asked?" asked a sinister voice.
"We have the information. Just like you asked." Jinx answered. She was wimpering.
"Good. It has begun."

AT THE TITANS TOWER...

'So this is what it's like to be a titan. Just like any teenager. Plus crime fighting.' Hades was laying on his couch, pondering over his first day. It was late in the evening, and he was bored. 'Guess I could check out the rest of the tower. Better than just lying here.' He swept out of the door and went exploring. The first room he came across was a gym. 'Nobody here.' There was a bench and a few weights. He stretched. "I have to start somewhere." he said out loud and began working out. The bench had almost all of the weights on it. 'Must be Cyborg.' he thought and took a couple of them off. An hour later he had sweated through his t-shirt, so he had taken it off. He was doing pushups when Raven entered the room.
"Gah!" he collapsed on the floor. "Oh hi Raven. You startled me there." he said and got up, almost trembling.
"Sorry." she said with pity. He stood up and walked over to her. His ripped body glistened in the light. Raven looked away, blushing profusely.
"Is something wrong?"
"N-no i-it's, uhm.." she stuttered. He looked down at his torso. He himself blushed slightly.
"Oh, I'm uuh, so sorry. I'll just go take a bath. You uhm, wait here." he said and raced of to the showers. 'God dammit! How could I just stand there like an idiot. God!' he thought to himself. 'Well I can't do anything about it now I guess.'

When he was done, he went back out to the door, to see Raven waiting. "I'm back." he said calmly. He had taken his time to think and cool off.
"Great." she said, still having a slight blush.
"So uhh, do you want to, ya know, uhm, watch a movie, or something?" he asked, being very nervous and unsure.
"Oh. Uhm, s-sure. Why not?" she answered, just as nervously as him. "I'll have to get ready. See you later." she said and quickly ran off. 'Better get ready myself.' he thought. He then suddenly realised, he had no clue what she liked. He turned into a shadow and sped towards Starfire's room. When he got there, he slowed down. He could hear Raven.
"Starfire?" she asked her.
"Yes Raven?"
"What is this feeling I have in my stomach?" Her nervous nature seemed out of place. "What does it feel like?" Starfire asked.
"It's like excitement and warmth and, and.." she answered sporadically.
"Calm down. I believe this might be you, uhm, what you call 'being in love'?" Hades' eyes widened. 'What?!' He could almost not believe it. Someone might actually like him. His heart filled with an overwhelming heat. 'I better get ready.' he thought and ran off, forgetting why he was there to begin with.
