Disclaimer: I have no rights to Young Justice or Teen Titans or any characters from their respective universe that all belongs to their original creators I'm just using the characters as a base. Also title is subject to change (literally thought of it on the fly with my friend god scatter brain moments ). Um this is the first time posting a story or even writing one so I hope its not oc as a whole because i really wanna stay true to the shows (and the comics since my friend is making me keep up to date on that). Also hope this doesn't seem like a rip off the new comic 52, although that is Teen Titans but gah so many overlapping shiz niz going on , because I had this idea for a while and been trying to write it for months now and just recently learned that Superboy and Raven are a couple?! My luck. ON TO THE ACTUAL CHAPTER SORRY!

Chapter 1: Beginning

It had been a while since Raven was last actively fighting crime with a team. To her surprise, five months went by without a single note worthy incident. She spent her time pursuing a civilian life as Rachel Roth but didn't keep the act up for very long, she craved…friendship. The time alone was a blessing and curse, she was able to actively pursue inner peace and hone her control over her emotions to an even greater degree and yet, her life was missing something. Not even the random odd job that Nightwing would mail her details about could reign in the feeling of fulfillment that constantly nagged her day and night. It just couldn't fill in the void that the disbandment of the Teen Titans had left her with.

Nightwing had left the Teen Titans about a year or two ago in order to lead a new team, the Young Justice team. Eventually Beast Boy joined Nightwing as well and Cyborg opted to take the offer to join the Justice League, a promotion well deserved for the metal man. Raven idly wondered to herself just how Ro…Nightwing could have accepted such a position. The team is a subdivision to the Justice League that focused on training candidates in the hopes that they be up to the standards of becoming Justice League members, an honor and privilege. Of course Raven knew that was bullshit, specifically media bullshit. It took five minutes of talking to Nightwing to figure that out. The reality of it all was that they were seen as nothing more than a daycare; a place to put sidekicks and kids who were getting in over their head and keep check over them.

It was painfully obvious when you scraped the surface, but just as equally obvious was the resolve that Nightwing had to change that was a look in his eyes, a tone to his voice, a change in his body language that told her that he'd change that view. This took her back to the letter she held.

To anyone other than herself it would seem like a letter from a penpal, an old friend living half the globe away from each other trying to keep in touch. To her though it was a letter from her ex leader of the Teen Titans and the leader of the Young Justice team. It was how they communicated and how she got details on the odd jobs he would have for her. This particular letter though wasn't a new job for her it was an invitation, an invitation to join the Young Justice team with details of where they would meet for her reply in person. Raven felt conflicted, on one hand this invitation symbolized the Justice League's own distrust of her control and on the other it was Nightwing sending it and she knew how much faith he had in her.

Raven decided that a new chapter of her life was needed and two days later she found herself at and thought to herself, "So…much…regret…"

So I would like it if people who took the time to read this introduction review and rate it (mainly review it) because I really would like to make this understandable. It will be 90% Young Justice events and details but theres a lot (i think) of back story coming from Teen Titans. Also i guess in an effort to save myself I'll repeat this is the first time I've written and posted a work so yes i welcome flames (i think thats what they are called) but i would appreciate it more if you backed them up with why you hate my writing or something specific.
