Hi. Yep. Sequel time! Hurray for sequels, even though they're usually not better. For anyone reading this right now, if you haven't already, go read "A New Arrival". It's the first story. I do realize that this title isn't the best idea. It's been done a bunch of times by other people. But I wanted to keep the words A New in the title so here it is. I probably won't gain many reviews. After all, there was only like an ongoing group of three or so people reviewing the original. I hope people continue to review. So carry on, and do review for me please.

I do not own Teen Titans.

A New Titan

Chapter 1: The Dream

Raven's View

She walked alongside her boyfriend smiling up at him as they looked at each other. Raven latched her arms around Taen's, and then snuggled her head against him. He kissed her on top of the head as she did so. They were enjoying a nice walk. The sky was a bright pink. A light breeze went through the area, sending ripples into the water. The trees looked dark and menacing, but Raven didn't care. The place seemed so familiar to her, but how? What did it matter, she was in love, and happier than she ever had been.

"I never usually like this place," Taen said to her. She lifted her head and looked at him. "What place?" Raven asked him curiously. "Never mind," Taen said, waving it off with a warm smile. She usually would have pursued the issue, but was enjoying the mood to much. Taen and her had been together for over a month, ever since he had came there on a cold and rainy night two months prior. They were a lot alike, and Raven quickly found herself liking Taen more than anyone. Soon after his arrival, Taen and her had fallen in love.

They stopped on a cliff side, staring over the edge. There was a large crater in the ground below them, and it stirred something in Raven's memory. She started to get quick flashes in her head, and she fell over. "What is it?" Taen asked, quickly at her side. He helped Raven back up. "It was nothing," She lied. Truth be told, she had just seen the strangest thing. It was her and Taen, fighting some sort of monster. Slowly she began to realize where they were.

Taen has stopped a few feet in front of her. "That is why I hate being here," He said, pointing down at the crater. Raven, her memory back, looked at him confused. "Why?" She asked. "Do you not remember this place? The dream world, where Sinister failed to destroy you Titans!" Taen yelled at her. Raven stumbled back. "What do you mean you Titans, you're one of us now, remember?" She asked startled. Taen smiled and laughed at her, not sounding like himself at all, but sounding like a very familiar foe.

"Am I Raven? Stupid girl, I am not the real Taen," The voice said. Then he changed. His skin turning black, metal forming on his arms and legs. Raven watched, horrified at who he was becoming. Finally, the face changed, turning into a dark black and orange mask, the only visible eye watching her. "Slade!" She said and backed away. "Don't worry, my powers have deteriorated, though I am still far superior compared to you," Slade said to her. "Like the dream world still? It isn't the same one that you've been to, but we did model it after the original. I'm coming Raven, and I will destroy everyone and everything that you care about!" Slade said cruelly, then he walked forward.

"NO!" Raven yelled and jumped up. The area had gone dark, but she could still sense someone sitting up beside her. Raven punched desperately in his direction, but felt her hand caught by the person. "No! Let me go!" She yelled. Raven struggled to escape the strong grip, but couldn't even do a thing. "Raven!" A voice yelled at her. Then a light flipped on, and Raven squinted, trying to see the person. Finally he came into focus.

She was staring at Taen, who was looking quite worried. He was still holding her wrist, holding her back from hitting him. "It's ok, I'm here. You're awake now," He said to her. Taen pulled her forward and hugged her, and Raven let out a deep breath. "I had another one," She said to him. Taen backed up, fear in his eyes. "Him again?" He asked. She nodded and laid back down. "What do you think it means?" Raven asked him. Taen shook his head. "I can't be sure. I have theories, each more unlikely than the next," He answered.

Then there was silence. Raven glanced at the clock, and saw that is wasn't even close to sunrise. She looked over at Taen, admiring him. He wasn't looking back, but staring forward, his fingers pushing his long blue hair behind his ears. Taen turned towards her, and smiled. "I think we're ok for now," Taen said and leaned down. He kissed her gently, and then laid back down, turning sideways to look at her. She turned as well, staring into his eyes.

"I think that we should try and sleep at least, big day ahead," Taen said to her. She smiled. "No need to remind me," Raven said. She moved along her bed and wrapped her arms around Taen, kissing him on the lips. "Now let's get to bed, I want to leave early," Taen said and flipped off the light. "Love you," He whispered in her ear. "Love you too," She said back, smiling as she shut her eyes.

Raven never actually never did get to sleep. She laid there until eight a.m. while listening to Taen's quiet snores. She grinned as the sunlight came through the blinds, lighting up her and Taen wrapped around each other. She gently shook him, shutting of alarm off before it could blare any music. "I'm up, I'm up," Taen said groggily. She rolled him over, and he slipped off the edge. "Don't push me around," He said in a half awake voice, causing Raven to smile even wider.

She got up as well, and headed to her bathroom, where Taen was doing his daily "teeth brushing ritual". She loved how he named some stuff, reminded her of Starfire. Raven frowned, as she stared at Taen's bare back, where a small red Z was in the center. She had asked about it, and Taen answered that it was given to him at birth. He barely ever talked about his past, saying that it was something he hated to speak of.

Raven took a quick shower with Taen still in there. She had to keep yelling at him for turning on the faucet, causing her to go from freezing cold to scalding hot in the shower. Then she got out, and found her towel stolen. Taen whistled at her body as she walked through the door, holding the towel in his hand. "Just give me the towel," She said in a fake angry voice. He tossed it to her. "The others are already up, and waiting to see us off," Taen said as she dried off. "Great. I'll meet you out there," She said. Taen nodded and left, whistling one more time.

Raven went back into the bathroom, brushing her hair first, and then her teeth. She slipped on her usual clothes and walked out a few minutes after Taen, who was talking with Cyborg and Beast Boy on the couch. Starfire and Robin were in the kitchen, cooking breakfast together. "Well we got up early now give us your end of the bargain!" Beast Boy said as Raven came out. She nodded at Taen, who lifted something from under his shirt and tossed it at Beast Boy. Cyborg and Beast Boy both dove for it, slamming into each other.

"Ow! Stupid hunk of metal!" Beast Boy said as he rubbed his head. "Stupid hunk of uh- dumbass," Cyborg said back. "A new copy of Halo, hope that will hold you over," Taen said. Sure, Halo had been out for years, but that didn't mean that they had played it a lot. The guys had gathered some money and bought an X Box, then bought Halo, the "Ultimate Multiplayer Game" as Beast Boy had put it.

"How long are you guys going to be gone?" Robin asked from the kitchen. "I don't know, a couple of weeks, I might help out the police for an extra week," Taen answered. Robin nodded, and turned back to the stove, where Starfire was about to pour mustard all over the sausages. "No!" Robin yelled and smacked it away. "You'll ruin the surprise!" He said to her. She looked sad for a moment, but cheered up as Robin handed her the salt, which she poured on the food relentlessly.

Raven laughed quietly and sat next to Taen, who kissed her on the cheek quickly. "We can leave right after breakfast," He said to her. Raven nodded. 'A vacation is just what we need' Raven said and laid back, thinking of how tired she had been. Her and Taen had been working a special case together- Tracking down a new villain. Someone had been stealing large supplies of a rare metal called Stek. It was rare because it had just recently been discovered. So far, Raven and Taen had managed to stop the thief on all attempts except the first, when they arrived to late.

Besides the Stek theft, things in Jump city had been even insane as of late. Slade hadn't been sighted but his cronies had. Plasmus was going wherever any sort of waste was, and eating it. Every time the Titans caught him, Cinderblock would snatch him back from jail. Then they'd go for Cinderblock, who would be freed by Plasmus. It was just a huge neverending cycle. And then there was Overload, who was becoming stronger by the day. He was causing power outages all over the city, and the Titans had been unable to catch him. It was really getting old, and fast.

Finally, Robin and Starfire finished making the meal, and the rest of the Titans carefully ate it, unsure of where one of Starfire's surprises would be. They finished it finally, and found that it was surprisingly good. "So what exactly was the surprise?" Beast Boy asked. Starfire smiled widely. "Well it was that- I did not mess it up!" Robin started and Starfire finished. Taen started to clap slowly, and the others joined, laughing. "Very nice," Cyborg said to her, causing Starfire to laugh happily.

Raven got up, signaling Taen to do it as well. He stood up quickly. "We need to get going, it can get to be pretty heavy in the traffic department out there," Taen said, staring out the window. The other Titans stood up, looking around in an awkward sort of way. "You guys sure you'll be ok without me?" Raven asked. Robin nodded. "Yeah, things have been slowing down over the past few days," He said. "You both deserve some time off," Starfire added. Cyborg and Beast Boy agreed.

"If you say so," Raven said. "Now here's the part I've been holding off asking," Taen said nervously. He turned to Cyborg. "Can we take the T-car?" He asked him. Cyborg looked like someone killed his dog. "My baby? For what? You can fly!" He yelled. "But we're taking some stuff, and a hundred and fifty mile flight takes a long time, trust me, I know!" Taen said.

Raven could tell that he was reminiscing once again, about why he had come to the tower in the first place. He seemed to be doing that more and more in the last few days. Cyborg thought for a few minutes before responding. "Fine. But only cause you helped me build it! If it gets scratched, I'll kill ya!" The half human said, pulling out the keys and handing them to Taen.

The team laughed as Taen took the keys. Raven followed him to his room, where she levitated their two bags into the elevator, which was awaiting their leave. Quickly everyone began to say goodbyes. Starfire hugged both Taen and Raven tightly, squeezing the air out of them both. Robin shook Taen's hand and gave him some money. "See a movie or something," He said. Beast Boy and Cyborg also shook Taen's hand. Raven avoided the guys, sort of just waving nicely. She may have changed, but not enough to a point where she would hug Beast Boy.

The two took the elevator down slowly. Raven looked up at the camera, and covered it with her energies. Then she moved over to Taen, hopping up onto him and pulling him into a kiss. She smiled, glad to be getting some alone time with him. "Finally free," She said. Raven kissed Taen again, who dropped the bags so he could hold her up better. "I think we should have warned them," He said seriously. "About what?" She asked, kissing up Taen's neck. "Slade," He said. She stopped. "Why?" Raven asked him, the mood now changed. "Just a thought," Taen answered and settled her down. "Sorry," He said. "It's fine," She mumbled.

The elevator reached the garage, and they clamored out, looking for the car. Quickly they found it and shoved all of their stuff into the back, and then got into the front seats. "You might wanna buckle up Raven, my first time driving I took out a few mail boxes," Taen said to her. She smiled, and then did her seat belt. "Like anything could hurt us," She said. Taen started the car and took off. Their destination: Praysair City.

Meanwhile, somewhere underground, Slade was planning his attack. Plasmus, Cinderblock, and Overload were gathered behind him. "It will take place a week from now, I'll need the three of you to take care of the others. Leave him to me," Slade said, pointing to the pictures on the screen he had brought up. The three creatures made loud noises in response. "Overload will do as told," The electrical monster said. Slade nodded at them and walked over to his apprentice.

"Terrific job in the dream, you're getting good," Slade said to him."You have everything that you need?" Slade then asked. The apprentice nodded. "I don't need them both dead, the girl can be extremely useful, bring her alive," Slade ordered. "I will," The boy said. Slade looked at the base he had made, and thought of the plan that he had formed. "It is flawless. One way or another we shall win. Either the city will go, or the Teen Titans will go. We can not lose," Slade said.

His apprentice said nothing, he just watched. "I trust that you enjoy your new power still," Slade said to him. "Yes. I thank you for them master," The guy said. "Not that your own powers were inadequate, they came useful for stealing Stek, did they not?" Slade asked. "Of course. You've seen them in action from another," Slade's apprentice said, sounding annoyed of the chit chat. Slade turned and punched his apprentice in the face, knocking him down. "Do not speak of that again, understand?" Slade asked with anger. "Yes master".

There was a moment of silence, in which Slade went over his plan mentally. "Shall I go?" His apprentice then asked carefully. "Yes, go now. Be sure that you find them, Praysair is a very large city..." Slade said. Then he began to laugh.
