Raven and Beastboy, badly injured, limped into the empty tower. the hoped to god that the rest of the team was there. they were not. The titans had lost. Slade had won. maybe for good. after years of fighting. He had were all older. the titans had reached a new sense of maturity. Cyborg was the oldest. he was 25. he and bumblebee were married. they could not have kids themselves, so they adopted a son from China. Robin and Starfire were both 22 they had been dating for over three years, Starfire had a son who was three no powers it seemed who was cared for by the government because she was not home enough for him, but she visited him all the time. it seemed, though, that she and robin would never marry. Raven and Beastboy were both 21. the youngsters. Beastboy still got on ravens nerves. but never purposely much anymore. he was more serious about what he did. he worked out with robin and cyborg more than ever recently, and he was more muscular. Raven aside from height had not changed much. except she was closer to her friends. they were like siblings. She was more free willing with her emotions. She had more control over her powers. they were all better now, stronger, a greater team. but recently they found themselves drifting apart. Bumblebee had quit the titans to take care of her son. the had a condo in Jump City. Cyborg lived there sometimes and he sometimes lived at the tower, but he wants to permanently move out and quit the team as well to be with his family. Robin Was gone all the time and argued with anyone who asked if he was okay. Slade hit the team while they were down. he knew they were on the verge of breaking up. And he was smart to do that. he won. Cyborg, Robin, and Starfire were missing. they had all split up inside an abandoned hotel. they had all ran into Slade's robot army. Raven and Beastboy had defeated them but had gotten hurt. they found each other but no one else. there were signs of fights but no robot bodies or anything. like the fights were cleaned up after. they left because a bomb had gone off raven tele-ported them out to only to see the building collapse. they searched through the ruble but found nothing. They had then gone back to the tower to see if the rest of the team was there even though it was unlikely, and they were right, they were alone. Four almost an hour they sat right inside the entrance. for almost an hour. nothing. they decided to go to the med wing to make sure they were alright. they could not look for the others in their conditions.

Beastboy watched raven who sitting across the room on the end of small bed in the med wing as she wrapped up a gash on her arm. he was badly bruised all over, but nothing was broken. Raven, besides the wound on her arm, was okay.

"They'll be okay." Beastboy reassured Raven. But tears ran down her face.

"How could you know?" she looked up at him. he looked away. he could not answer. then it was silent. Raven cried. for a moment Beastboy did nothing. he just stared at raven. crying. he rarely if ever saw her cry. he stood up and walked over and put a hand on her shoulder, he slid his hand down her arm and took her hand. she stopped crying and looked at him. A moment passed by. Beastboy pulled raven into a hug.

"They will be okay. i just know." Beastboy sounded so sure of himself.

"I believe you." raven smiled at him. Beastboy smiled back. he leaned forward, and so did raven. they kissed. neither pulled away. they kissed more passionately now. and raven leaned back onto the bed and Beastboy followed. moving past her face and down her neck. They were both thinking the same thing:What do i have left to lose?Passion filled the room as Beastboy ans raven's moans gave noise to the empty tower.

Light shone through the window as morning came to Jump City. two of the members of the Teen titans lay sleeping together on a small single bed in the med wing in the Titans tower. they did not stir at all until they heard a faint beeping. Beastboy fell out of the bed. his communicator and Raven's as well fell to the floor. Both blinking and flashing red. Beastboy grabbed his uniform off of the floor and quickly put it on. Raven also dressed. Very few words passed between them. they barley looked at each other. Beastboy picked up his communicator.

"I'm getting a signal from robins communicator. Robin, come in, can you hear me? Hello?"

"We'll just have to go to the coordinates of the signal." raven said quietly, as she turned around to leave the room.

"Raven wait, I..."

"We should hurry, he could be injured."

"Right." said Beastboy, who was tying his shoes as he followed raven. he acted like he hadn't said any thing.
