Flashback
Raven remembered the first time she met him, the H.I.V.E 5 were causing chaos in Gotham, encouraged by Joker. That meant going to Gotham and teaming up with Dick Grayson's aka Robin, old mentor Bruce Wayne aka Batman and his new side kick Jason Todd, also known as Robin but his costume was red and black. She had met the dark knight before, when they needed funding for their Tower and what not. They respected each other and got along well, both know what it's like to have your childhood taken away from you.
Jason was a new story all together, he was bold, arrogant, and hot tempered, typical bad boy, at least that was what Dick told them. She had yet to see for herself if that was true. She imagined that he and Dick would be friendly on the surface but have a competition underneath, he flirt with Kori aka Starfire, to mess with Robin or simily because she was beautiful, she didn't know. He get along well, maybe even friends with Victor aka Cyborg and Garfield aka Beast boy, boys will be boys. Then finally he give polite greeting to her and move on, it was like that every time.
It would be nice for a change of scenery, it had been a long week of sorting out teams for Titans, North, West and South and those who couldn't leave their home due to the heavy crime could be a part time member. Kid Flash and Jinx were looking after Jump city while they were away. Surprisingly Jinx and Raven became good friends, Jinx did the impossible took Raven shopping and now she had a full wardrobe of clothes.
They were in their civilian clothes in T-car which had a harrow graphic generator, that made it looked like a black truck. They couldn't let anyone know they were the Teen titans or why they were going to Bruce Wayne, it would ruin the whole secret identity thing. Gar and Victor were wearing their rings, while Kori wore contacts and Robin sunglasses. Raven however did not change her appearance, since no one really paid attention to her anyway. She wore a dark blue jacket with a large hood that was like he hood of her beloved cloak, a long sleeved purple/red dress that fitted her curves, black stockings and dark blue boots.
"We here ya'll" Victor said with a huge smile, Raven get out of the car and stood stunned at Bruce's mansion.
"Woah dude, this is where you grew up" Gar asked amazed as he stared in wonder.
"Friend Robin, this home is quite glorious yes" Kori asked with a beaming smile and Dick shrugged slightly embarrassed.
"Yo! Can I have help with this baggage!" Victor demanded, Raven uses her powers and put them at the front door. Victor gave her a smile as he locked his car.
"Thanks Rae" They all walked to the door and waited for Dick to either go in or knock.
He gave out a heavy sigh, everyone, including Gar could tell Dick was nervous and uncomfortable about going to see his old mentor, with his new side kick and staying in his old home. Kori gave his hand a gentle squeeze and reassuring smile. Taking a breath he knocked and they waited. An old man with tired eyes in a butler suit answered the door, he gave a smile to Dick and everyone else.
"Awe Master Richard and the teen Titans, do come in please" the man was British and seemed very kind, Raven liked incidentally, man stepped aside and allowed the Teens to walk in.
"It's great to see you Alfred, where's Bruce" Dick asked even though he knew the answer.
"Master Bruce is down in the cave looking over police fails for the decent case" Alfred answered and Dick's face harden slightly.
"And Jason?" Dick spat his name and before Alfred a voice broke out from the stair case.
"Right here Grayson"
The titans and Alfred looked up to see a tall teenage boy in a white wife beater, blue workout pants and white trainers, a white towel around his neck and a bottle of water in his right hand. He clearly been training who knows what, he physically wasn't what Raven was expecting, he was about her age, 15 or 16, he was an inch taller than Kori, with black sweaty hair, that hung over his teal green eyes, that seemed to bore into you, much like her own, he wasn't tanned but he wasn't pale either, a cross between both, peachy like skin colour, thin hard lips that were curved into a smirk and surprisingly he had more toned muscles then Dick but not huge ones like Victor. Raven hated to admit it, but he was really handsome but she bet that he was all looks and no decent personality.
"Master Jason, finished with your training session?" Alfred asked cutting the silence before a fight broke out.
"Yeah, just about to go for a shower, when I heard Bruce's guests arrive" Jason answered bit but the group of teens besides Kori and Gar knew that Jason didn't want or need their help and especially want them here.
"(Gasp!) We forgot to introduce ourselves to our new friends, my name Koriand'r or perhaps Kori if you prefer, in English my name is Star fire, I am pleased to met you" Kori beamed happily unknowingly, breaking the tension.
"My Beast boy, you can call me BB and my real name is Garfield Logan, sup dudes" Gar answered with a friendly grin.
"I'm Cyborg but you can call me Victor Stone" Victor gave a big grin and a intimating look to Jason if he tried anything.
"I'm Raven and it was nice to meet you Alfred" Raven gave a small smile to Alfred which he returned.
"It was also nice to meet you all as well, please excuse me while I inform Master Bruce of your arrival" Alfred said before exiting and Raven didn't blame him because things were about to get ugly.
"So the Teen titans" Jason spoke as walked down the stars towards them.
"We haven't been introduced yet, I'm Jason Todd, it's a nice to meet you Kori " Jason shaking Kori hand with a charming smile that made her blush slightly and Dick growl in warming.
"Hey dude by any chance to you have a game boy or tv in this place?" Gar asked a bit desperately and Jason chuckled at his begging expression.
"Plasma screen and any game you can ask for" Gar lit up like a Christmas tree.
"Dude you are a official my hero" Jason chuckled and looked up at Vctor.
"Hey man is that the T car outside?" Jason asked and Victor grinned at the mention of his 'baby'.
"That's my baby, build her from scratch" Victor smiled proudly and Jason nodded approvingly.
"Nice, I do some mechanic work myself, in fact Bruce even lets me work on his car" Jason replied and Victor looked impressed.
Raven ignored the rest as she looked at of the main room, it was definitively big enough. She heard there was a massive library and would have liked to explore it while they were here. Her thoughts were interrupted when she felt an unfamiliar presents in front of her, she blinked in surprise when she saw Jason stood a foot away from her.
"Raven your real name?" Jason asked and through her empathy she felt waves of curiosity and suspicious, which was normal for Raven.
"Yes" she gave a her usual emotionless tone and once again felt annoyance, suspicious and a bit of anger.
"I hear you're the toughest of the Titans but I find that hard to believe" Jason replied with a smirk and Raven scowled.
"Oh, you want a detonation?" Raven asked with her hands on her hips and he shrugged. Raven smirked, her eyes began to glow white and uses her right hand, she surrounded Jason with her black energy, lifting him upwards as he gave a yelp of shock and move her hand so he was upside down at the ceiling just as Bruce and Alfred walked in.
"Hello everyone, glad to see you are all here, where Jason?" Bruce asked looked ing around frowning.
"Hanging around" Dick answered with a chuckle, Alfred and Bruce frowned in confusion.
"Ok you have proven your point mind letting me down now" Jason demanded Bruce and Alfred looked up in surprise then chuckled in amusement.
"Are you sure?" Raven asked but she was looking at Bruce, silently questioning him and he gave a nod.
"No I like hanging upside down in cold black whatever the hell it is" Jason replied sarcastically and she dropped her hands. He gave another yelp in shock but thanks to his reflexes he spun around and landed on his feet.
"I take it he insulted Raven" Bruce asked the others and they nodded while the boys snickered.
"Gee thanks Bruce, feeling the love" Jason said as he dusted himself off then he stood in front of Raven and he smirked as he crossed his arms.
"Not bad" Raven gave him a mocking smile.
"If you think that's good wait until you see me fly" Raven mocking him with fake enthusiasm and he chuckled.
"I'll be sure to bring a camera" Jason mocked back and Raven chuckled to the surprise of everyone including herself.
"Now that's done with, Alfred will show you to your room, after dinner we'll discuss Joker's latest stunt" Bruce ordered and left without a word, The Titans began to follow and Raven glanced at Jason whom in returned smirked an winked, blushing slightly she gave him a scowl and walked off hearing his chuckle follow her.
NOTE: This does not mean I'm not going to finish Who Knew, I have this in my head for a while so I wanted it out of the way, so I could concentrate on finishing Who Knew. Also thinking of doing a one shot where Raven is out with the rest of the titan girls of a girls night and she meets someone guess who?
