Chapter 1

"NO!" She cried slamming her hand on the button, the toxin quickly being replaced by a fan which vacuumed the room of the deathly air. She slowly began feeling her powers returning and looked up to her three teammates who she could see were safe from the brush of death. Yet as they rejoiced their friend saving them, realization dawned upon them as they saw the empath look away, small tears trekking from her somber expression.

The three teens were confused before the tameranian girl released a horrified wail, her gaze into the room next to them where the familiar body lay slumped on the ground, the toxic air clearly being the visible sign of their gravely fate.

"No...it...can't be..." The cybernetic teen shook, a dark feeling creeping into him before he released a shout of disbelief running to the glass panned wall dividing their rooms and banging with tremendous force upon it.

Their leader joined the dark skinned titan in trying to break through to the other side, the alien girl sitting on the ground crying her heart out, knowing they had failed.

All the while, the violet haired girl standing outside slid to her knees letting the sadness overtake her as the name that would forever haunt her every waking day was pierced through the underground warehouse just like everyone's hearts.

Raven shot up with a start, eyes bugged out, breathing ragged, and a hand gripping her chest as she looked around the room in distress. She found she was still in her bed, free hand clutching the sheets before taking a moment to relax from the horrid nightmare.

"Get a hold of yourself Raven, you should be used to this by now."

After she got control of her breathing and knew she would be awake to the point where she wouldn't be sleeping again, she fell back on the bed with a groan before slowly preparing for the day. She started by walking into her bathroom, she thanked that Cyborg had been nice enough to install each titan with their ow private facilities so they didn't have to wake up complaining over who got to the bathroom first anymore...enough problems transpired from those days. Turning on the shower she checked to make sure it was at a perfectly hot temp before stripping out of her clothing and stepping in.

She flinched slightly from the first contact of the water, but after taking a moment to let it splash against her body she relaxed into it, a sigh of contempt being released from her lips. After half an hour in the shower(heh, rhyme), she stepped out and began drying herself off, setting out her uniform on her bed for the days events. Once dressed she made way to exit her room before suddenly stopping, the dream coming back at her and almost causing her knees to buckle before she regained herself and walked out of the room.

The common room doors opened up and as expected of her, she went straight to the kitchen, setting up her morning tea. She sat down, waiting for the kettle to heat up while the doors opened up, signalling the arrival of one or all her teammates. Most likely the latter.

"Good morning friend Raven! Such a joy to see you this day!" Starfire cheerfully called, flying over to wrap the demoness in her famous bone-crushing hug. Hearing a familiar sputter for air the alien princess released her friend, letting air return to her as she shot the breathless girl an innocent look of apology.

Raven narrowed her eyes at the floating girl but after rolling her eyes, gave a small smile to let her know she was alright and she reciprocated the girls usual greetings. Starfire clapped in happiness and flew into the kitchen to find some breakfast, a certain raven haired detective joining Raven's side after retrieving his usual brew of coffee.

He nodded to her as she returned the gesture, the act being something one would describe as one of the most terrible forms of close communication. Though as everyone knew in the tower they both shared an amazing use of non-verbal communication that was just natural.

The robotic teen suddenly burst into the room, taking in a big smell before grinning triumphantly to his team. "Mornin yall! Ya ready for my famous morning delight?" He boasted, going into the kitchen but not before giving Robin a fist bump and Raven a ruffle of her hair which she returned with a playfully dangerous look.

"Oh it is always a joy to try the friend Cyborg's meals."

"No one makes em like you do Vic." Robin added upon his girlfriends words who took a seat next to him to allow the master in his domain.

"Damn straight." Cyborg winked, already getting a pan heated up, as he moved expertly through the kitchen cracking eggs, making batter, and throwing a variety of meaty substances on to fry. Ramsey would be proud.

"Any second, he'd have burst threw that door and gotten into a full on argument war about Victor's food choice."

Raven silently mulled, a sudden sense of grief rising in the pit of her stomach whilst her gaze focused intently on the counter top. She was snapped from her thoughts when a familiar cup of heated tea was set in front of her by the cybernetic man who gave her a warming smile, seemingly knowing what was going through her mind. "Here's your tea, just how ya like it Rae-Rae."

She opened her mouth to complain at him for calling her the nickname again, but went against it and took a sip of her usual beverage. The warm liquid relaxing her body and mind. "You should count yourself lucky I'm not causing you any harm for using that name."

"Aww, you know ya love me too much for that Rae." He cooed at her, as she raised a slight brow at his words, indicating above him where two eggs floated, encased in dark energy. Before he could get a word out, they both broke above him causing the yolk to spill upon his unlucky face. Hidden laughs were shared between Raven and Robin who witnessed the scene while Starfire looked at Cyborg puzzled.

"Friend Cyborg, are you trying to make the eggs upon your face again?" Cyborg wiping his face off, and letting his friends naive words pass as usual.

"Nah, but I know a certain someone who won't be getting any desert I have made for tonight." He aimed the sentence at Raven who rolled her eyes at his dry threat, knowing he would forget or just give it to her anyway.

"By the way Raven, when will we be finally meeting your secret lover boy." Cyborg teased as she stood up to wash out her finished cup.

"He should be here in a little bit, you should hope your actually still here to see him." She gave a sinister look at him causing the Cyborg to go pale with a sweat drop at her words.

He turned back to his breakfast making and once done handed everyone a plate, settling his own plate down as they all chattered amongst each other. Just reveling in the fact that they were all together right now, and none of them were in any sort of danger.

They had changed these past five years that's for sure, not only physically, but mentally as well.

Robin, or as they referred to him Dick, was still the same work hard detective, but after the incident he had opened himself up more to his team. The thought of the day being any one of their last going through his mind everyday, which is why he wanted to make sure it was taken to heart. There were still times where he would go solo wolf on them or keep them in the dark about things, but he would always make sure to give them some slight piece of knowledge about it in some way. Just like everyone else he revealed his true name, and bigger shocker, his unmasked identity...well, making sure they were in a very secluded area at the time so as no one else found out when he did it. He stood now at a good 5'8 or so, more muscular from all his vigorous training, hair no longer spiked as he let it down but left it cut very short. He no longer went by Robin, finally going Nightwing on everyone, the one thing not too much of a shocker on everyone, though it still didn't stop Cyborg from teasing him with his newly found name.

Speaking of him, the robotic teen hadn't taken too many changes, only things being letting his hair grow out along with a few upgrades here and there that still left him towering over his team. Just like everyone else after the incident, he became even closer with everyone, being the strongest for everyone else in their most darkest hour. Though it was evident that it took quite a toll on him as well, which Raven saw fit to have him let out as they comforted each other like brother and sister. He was there rock, he offered them words of wisdom when needed, and if not for him they would never have recovered as good as they did.

Starfire, was still the same old Starfire, her physical appearance taking the biggest of changes though. Her skin became more orange, eyes completely alien now as her irises and pupils were encased in a lighter shade of green, while her fiery red mane had literally become a Fiery. Red. Mane. Her hair kept it's color, but whenever she flew outside or anywhere near the sun, her hair would leave a blaze of flames in it's wake. She was still the tall girl she was when she arrived, reaching a height a foot taller than her boyfriend yet still smaller than her cybernetic friend, body taking a more voluptuous figure. Her new costume left little to the imagination, purple clasps covering over her breast, connecting at her back. She retained her gauntlets, adding purple shoulder guards that had a collar to it, her signature thigh length boots, and the skimpiest bikini leotard that would turn even the straightest of girls. She was still the most innocent member of the team, staying cheerful as always even though she had been having a habit of embracing her more...barbaric warrior persona in battle. Still, she just as her friends had matured in more aspects, her English becoming a little bit better and her bond with her friends even greater.

And lastly there was Raven, out of everyone she seemed to make the most significant of changes. After the incident, she took it the hardest out of them all and had it not been for the other Titans, her powers would have left her in deep trouble with the JL again. But after some counseling, therapy, and spiritual seeking she finally was able to take a well rounded turn for the better. She was able to finally show more emotion without causing harm from her powers, leading her to bond more openly with her friends...her family. Physically, she had grown a few inches, her body really shaping out, growing nice curves, slightly bigger breast, with legs that put even Starfire to shame, but she was still the smallest Titan of all. She retained her eye color and complexion, her hair always growing out in rapid paces as she kept it cut to reach only her shoulders. Her uniform remained significantly the same minus it's sleeves getting cut off, added features being the sash covering both her front and back. Elbow length fingerless gloves and knee high boots, an accessory being the bracelet with a penny attached to it, an item she tended to never take off.

Yes they had all changed for the better. Teen being a faint memory with their ages as they decided to switch to Titans with every Honorary Titan becoming older and though they lost many people close to heart, they still remained strong.

The common room doors slid open and everyone turned head to the newcomer, the empath giving a small smile as she walked over to him. He pulled her in for a quick kiss causing the girl to blush and pull her hood up quickly, much to his humor as he just held her there. Cyborgs jaw dropped, an egg he was flipping falling on his head while Dick processed the sudden scene before spitting out his coffee at the stunned cybernetic man.

Starfire seemed to be the only one who didn't mind as she squealed in delight, flying over and enveloping the two in a tight hug. "So this is the lover you have kept us in the dark about so glorious to meet you!"

When she released them Raven shook her head at her friends antics taking her boyfriends hand and leading him to the table to sit.

"Bushido!?" Nightwing finally sputtered out, looking the familiar samurai man up and down who merely smiled at him giving a small wave.

"It is nice to see you again as well Robin, it has been some time since we last talked."

"Yeah, I know...I just can't believe...you and...Raven...and...you...and..."

"WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN!?" Cyborg suddenly chimed in, pushing Nightwing away getting in the couples face still trying to make sense of this. He already trusted the Titan, but he was just being the over-dramatic big brother looking out for his sister.

Bushido opened his mouth to respond when the Titan alarm suddenly went off, causing every Titan to go on edge. Nightwing running to the screen to pull up what the crime was this time, as the Titans got ready behind him, his eyes widened beneath his mask before narrowing in confusion.

"There's a robbery at the Jump City Bank..." Nightwing started, typing rapidly to see if he could get a better assessment on exactly what he had just saw.

"Whoever it is we'll kick there ass as per-usual."

Nightwing grinned at his friends words before turning out to the bay to where Jump City was. "Titans...GO!" He yelled his signature phrase as the Titans set off for action.

Quick note on Titans clothing or appearances, I used different styles for each of them. Nightwing, Starfire, and Cyborg have the New 52 look while Raven has her New Earth clothing. I think that's the one it is. Anyway...

Who is the mystery robber? Where's Beastboy? What's this incident everyone keeps talking about? Only time shall tell...
