Here's a collection of short stories literally nobody asked for.
Anyways I didn't know which fandom to put this in, so I'm just going to put it in the Young Justice category since it branches off from my YJ story.
Anyways, there is Robstar/Nightstar/RenegadexStarfire near the end so... Yeah.
(This is basically how Raven, Starfire, and Beast Boy/Changeling join the Titans in this world.
The original three Titans were formed the same way as in the comics with obvious changes.)
(The first part also takes place two years before my story.)
Disclaimer: I don't own anybody from DC

Titans: Year two
She watched as the three Titans fought a giant man who called himself, Mammoth. They seemed to be overwhelmed.
She should help.
No... No she couldn't.
She'd only make things worse.
She was about to turn and leave when, she saw the redhead get thrown into a wall. She could see him open his mouth, but she was too far away too hear any noise escape from it. She watched as he limply fell on his stomache.
She curled her hands into a fist as she stared at the archer. Come on. Get up!
"Speedy!" exclaimed Wondergirl.
Raven kept looking between the fight and the unconscious archer, unsure of what to do. Should she fight? No. She was always told that fighting was a horrid way to end things. Maybe...
She quietly nodded to herself before bring her dark blue hood over her head and ran over to Speedy.
"Hey kid! What are you doing?" exclaimed Aqualad as he dodged a swing of Mammoth's arm.
She ignored the Atlantean as she stopped in front of the redhead and dropped down to her knees. She slowly inhaled as she said out loud. "Just like the monks taught you..." She exhaled as her hands began to glow a soft white light. He has a broken rib. She thought to herself as she carefully turned him onto his back and brought her hand over his broken rib.
"Hey! What are you doing to him!?" exclaimed Wondergirl from behind her.
"Helping him!" she exclaimed.
Tune them out. You need to concentrate. Her eyes began to faintly glow as she vaguely felt the bone mend itself. She sighed once she did all that she could and retracted her hand towards her body. Not much left that I can do. The rest needs to heal on it's own.
She was yanked out of her thoughts as she heard a cry from behind her. She turned around to see Mammoth being restrained by Wondergirl's lasso, and Aqualad throwing punches at Mammoth.
She looked down at her hand as an idea formed. I wouldn't be hurting him if I just... Restrained him. She looked back up at the giant beast and raised her hand and watched as a black aura began to surround it. The two sidekicks looked at each other in confusion as they watched the same black aura surround Mammoth, and lift him up into the air.
"Great Hera..." said Wondergirl as she found her eyes locking with the girl. "Who are you?"
She hesitated before saying, "Raven."
—
"I did all that I could, but the rib will need a little more time to heal," said Raven to the Titans, which including a now conscious Speedy.
"Er... Thanks for that," he said as he spared a glance at the officers who were taking Mammoth into custody.
Wondergirl gave Speedy a playful look. "Your lucky that you only broke one rib."
Speedy snorted. "Yeah. But i would've liked to leave without anything broken."
Raven watched as the three sidekicks spoke amongst themselves before turning around. "It was nice meeting you," she said as she began walking, "but I should really go. Maybe we'll see each other again sometime."
"Wait! Raven!" called Wondergirl. Raven stopped and turned around as Amazon took something from Aqualad and walked up to her. She took Raven's hand and placed something circular in it. "Call is if you need us." When she removed her hand from Raven's she was able to see that it was a device of some sort.
"It's a Titans communicator. We've had these on us for about six months. But there aren't many teen superheroes out there to give these to," said Aqualad.
"So if you ever need us, just call," said Speedy
"Or... You could just join us and be a legitimate member instead of just an honorary one." said Wondergirl with a smile. "As you could see, we can't exactly stay a team of three forever."
Raven stared at them in shock, before looking back at the device. A team. She could be apart of a team. She opened her mouth to say something, but an image appeared in her head. A horrid image of these three lying dead on the ground. Dead. All because she let them in. All because she let him get to them. People that she could one day end up caring deeply for. "I... I don't think I can accept this. I'm sorry."
Wondergirl's smile faltered. "What? Why?"
She clenched her hands into fists. "I... It's for personal reasons."
Wondergirl gave her a concerned look, before nodding. "All right. But you can keep the communicator in case you change your mind."

One month later
Raven sat in the forest and stared at the small device in her hand. Ever since her encounter with the Titans, the same questions kept on flowing through her mind.
Should she risk it? Should she join them, help them in battle, heal their wounds, and actually let them in? They could obviously use her help, but was it worth their involvement with her? Could they handle fighting him?
Her grip tightened in the communicator, before she called them.
Raven would become a Titan.

Titans: Year three
"What the hell is that?" exclaimed Speedy as he watched a streak move across the sky.
"I don't know, but we should probably go find out." said Aqualad as he watched the streak fly down a few blocks away. The three other Titans nodded before running off.
They stopped dead in their tracks once they saw an teenaged girl with long red hair yelling in a foreign language at two teenaged boys. An orange girl yelling at a green boy and a boy in orange in black to be exact.
"Is that Renegade?" questioned Speedy as he narrowed his eyes.
Raven looked over at Speedy. "Who?"
"Renegade, he's an assassin. Apprentice to Deathstroke the terminator." grumbled Speedy. "This is the first time I've seen him in about a year. But why's he here? And who's the orange chick and the green dude?"
Raven pursed her lips. "I don't know who she is. But i sense fear and annoyance radiating off of her."
Wondergirl nodded as she began walking towards the three. "We should talk to her. Try to figure out what's going on."
Speedy looked over at the girl. "I don't think she'd be able to understand you."
"We should at least try to show her that we mean no harm." said Aqualad as he motioned towards the three teens who had now taken notice of them. "We could also find out why they're here."
The four quietly made their way down to the three. Wondergirl stepped over to the girl before placing a hand on her chest. "I'm Wondergirl."
The teen narrowed her green eyes before responding. "Kori'andr."
"Uh... I'm Changeling!" exclaimed the green boy, which only got a weird look from Raven.
"Hey, Speedy!" said Renegade with a cocky grin. "How's that cut I gave you last year? Did it leave a scar?"
Speedy merely glared at the teen before turning over to the Kori'andr. "I'm Speedy," he said as he pointed to himself.
Renegade huffed. "Fine. Just ignore me," he grumbled as he followed the archers lead. "I'm Renegade."
"Why are you even here? What will Deathstroke gain from taking in this girl?" asked Speedy as Aqualad and Raven quietly said their names.
Renegade silently brought up his hands. "Nothing. Absolutely nothing. He doesn't even know that I've finished my job. I literally just finished up when I saw the streak fall."
Speedy shivered. "I don't exactly want to know that you just murdered an innocent person."
Anger flared in the assassins eyes. "He was a mob boss so not as innocent as you think. I don't hurt people who don't deserve it."
"You hurt me," grumbled Speedy.
"It was self... De... Fence..." Renegade stared up at the sky in shock. "What the hell is that?"
The rest of the group looked up and stared at the giant spaceship that had sped into the sky. Speedy squinted and saw multiple green dots heading their way. "The hell?" He turned around to see Koriand'r have a look of both fear and anger spread on her face before she began to float. She turned to them and began yelling at them in her foreign language. When nobody responded, she groaned before flying off. Speedy watched as she was soon followed by green figures in armour.
Speedy turned to the others. "We need to help her."
Renegade crossed his arms. "You don't even know if she's in the right here. For all we know, she was put in jail for terrible crimes."
"You're one to talk Mr. I kill people for money." grumbled Speedy. "But, no. She looked scared... And if she was a criminal, I don't exactly think that she would've stuck around to talk to you two. She probably would've flown off."
Renegade groaned before running off in the direction Koriand'r went. "If she really is innocent, then I guess I should help."
—
They took a lot longer to get here than I thought they would. Koriand'r flew through the sky, her hands glowing Doreen as she shot at the Gordanians chasing her. I can't let them get to me. She thought as she noticed a few speeding up. Her eyes widened as she saw a red blur come out of nowhere and tackle a Gordanian out of the sky.
She quickly followed the blur and watched as it crashed to the ground and created a crater. When she neared, she saw the girl with the long black hair from earlier.
Wanag'url was it?
She merely gave Koriand'r a thumbs up before jumping at the closest Gordanian. What does that even mean? She asked herself before joining her in battle.
The two were soon joined by the other teens, and they began fighting side by side (the one in the cloak seemed hesitant while fighting). She had just taken out another Gordanian when she heard someone yell something behind her. She turned around only to see a Gordanian about to strike her down with a sword, but the boy in orange and black hit him with some thick black sticks before her ex-captor could strike.
He looked over at her and mumbled a few words she couldn't understand. I should probably fix that. She thought as she walked towards him. He gave her a strange look before she cupped his face and planted her lips on his.
Within a few seconds, she broke away and smiled as she looked into his wide eyes. "Thank you... Reneg'ai was it?" she said slowly, still trying to get a grasp on the new language. She giggled as she noticed that Reneg'ai's face had flushed a deep red.
"You understand English?" he exclaimed.
"Yes. Tamaranians can transfer languages through physical contact." she smiled as she added. "You have beautiful eyes."
His blush deepened as he exclaimed, "If you can transfer languages through skin contact, why did you ki-" His eyes widened before he got out a throwing star of some sort and chucked it at something behind her. Koriand'r turned around to see a Gordanian clutching at their bleeding arm.
Koriand'r shot the Gordanian down before turning back to the black haired teen. "Thank you... Again."
"Why did you kiss me?" he asked quickly.
She giggled. "You don't exactly show much skin. Besides, kissing is a lot more... Fun." She then flew off without a word.
She liked Reneg'ai.

"I have a plan!" exclaimed Raven as she flew over to Speedy. "I can create a portal strong enough to send these aliens far away. But I need a place to concentrate."
Speedy nodded, and looked over at Changeling. "Would you mind protecting her until she's ready?" Changeling's eyes widened before nodding and running over to the girl who was now meditating.
After a few minutes of the girl meditating and Changeling protecting her, she began chanting. Her eyes began to glow as a black aura surrounded her and a black portal appeared under the Gordanian Changeling was fighting.
He watched as the green lizard like aliens fall through the portals. "Holy crap you did it!" exclaimed Changeling as he turned around to see the hero on the ground clutching her head. "Oh my god are you OK?" he asked as he ran over to her.
"Yes. I just used too much energy," she muttered as she got up with the help of the shapeshifter. They were soon joined by the rest of the titans (plus Koriand'r and a hesitant Renegade).
"I would like to thank you for all for your assistance," said Koriand'r in perfect English.
"Since when could you do speak english?" exclaimed Changeling. Koriand'r innocently smiled as she explained her abilities (Renegade was blushing but nobody could tell why).
"So..." started Speedy as he cleared his throat, "Why were they after you?"
Koriand'r's face darkened. "To save my planet... I was sold into slavery. I... I can't go back. Oh X'hal, I can't go back to Tamaran," she exclaimed as she crumbled to her knees.
To everyone's surprise, Renegade was the first person to comfort her. He mumbled something in a foreign language which Koriand'r narrowed her eyes at, before responding in that same language.
They spoke for a minute before they got up and Renegade turned to the Titans. "I'll be going now. I just want you to know that it's been somewhat asterous working with you all," he said before quickly getting out a grapple gun and leaving.
"Are we just going to let him go?" asked Wondergirl.
Speedy sighed. "He did just help us."
Koriand'r looked over at her and pursed her lips. "Why wouldn't you let him go?"
"Oh, I don't know..." grumbled Aqualad as he crossed his arms. "Maybe because he murdered somebody right before he came to find you?"
Koriand'r's eyes widened as she looked up at the building where he had disappeared.
—
"What took you so long?"
Renegade looked Slade in the eye as he grumbled, "Something... Came up."
"What thing?" hissed the mercenary as he looked down at his student.
"There was an alien that crashed on earth. I went to go and investigate it."
They were both silent for a moment before Slade spoke up. "Go get changed."
Renegade nodded and headed up to his room, his conversation with Koriand'r replaying in his head.
"Hey. Hey! It's OK. You're OK."
"What... This isn't english."
"It's Romani. I just expected that you understood any language I know since... You know."
"Yeah."
"You're planet will be fine. Everything will be OK."
"I know. But that won't stop it from hurting."
"Yeah... I know."
"I just never really thought about it over the years."

Anyways, this is crappy and unedited.
I feel like there wasn't much point in making it so that Raven joined the Titans a year earlier, but maybe I could make it so that Donna and Raven bonded over that one year timeskip.
If you want to see any possible scenarios I'm open to suggestions.
