Disclaimer: I do not own any of the teen titans...
Raven left her apartment thinking about Nightwing. She got a cab to Wayne Manor and was dropped off at the front gate with her suitcase. She pressed the intercom button. She heard the line opening.
"What do you want?" she heard a grumpy voice ask.
"Hi, umm I was asked by Dick Grayson to come here." She replied, waiting to be let in.
"Well this isn't dick, he's been gone all night, have any idea where he was?" he asked.
"Who's asking?" she asked, giving him the same treatment and tone her was giving her.
"Damian Wayne," he replied, "Oh and now Bruce Wayne's asking too."
"Well he was at my house last night, we were talking about stuff…. Yesterday was exactly two years after the disbanding of the teen titans. We were talking about the good old days." she told them.
"I'm sorry what?" she heard a deeper voice asking, probably Bruce she thought to herself.
"Oh right, umm I'm raven his old teammate. The one who saw inside his head that one time with Slade, he told me that he told you because then I knew your identity which I would never tell anyone…." She rambled on. She then heard the call being shut and the gate opened letting her inside. She rolled her suitcase up to the door and was greeted by the unhappy looks of Bruce and Damian who were worried about him. Raven understood why with Joker having escaped and everything.
"Well where's dick?" Bruce asked raising his voice a bit.
"He told me to meet him here since he was still in uniform and couldn't be seen walking up to the mansion with me," she told them, "He's not here yet?" she asked now joining in on their worry.
"No," Bruce replied coldly.
"Here I am!" Dick called down to them from up in an oak tree right above them. He jumped down, "Sorry I was out all night," he apologized. "Oh, and this is raven, former member of the teen titans." He told them.
"We heard, but what is she doing here?" Damian asked annoyed, obviously not wanting her there.
"We needed to catch up," Raven quickly replied, "Plus he recruited me to help with the joker." Raven told them as dick escorted her inside.
"Is that so? What can you do?" Damian asked, looking at her like probably expecting her to be good at nothing.
"Well…." She started but was cut off by dick.
"You'll find out later, right now I have to show her where she will be staying, if that's okay with you Bruce?" he asked.
"Well I would prefer you tell me before you invite people to my house but we need all the help we can get with joker." He told them. Dick then nodded to Bruce in thanks and escorted Raven down a hallway toward her room, leaving the others.
"Woah," Raven gasped looking around the mansion. It was bigger than her apartment building, not that that was much of a statement, it was a pretty small, crappy building.
"Here we are," Dick said opening a door and bringing in her suitcase.
"This is my room?" she asked amazed.
"Yep, and my room's one over on the right if you need me." he told her.
"Okay," she replied.
"So, you're helping with the fight against joker?" he asked her.
"Well why not, besides I didn't want to tell them why I was really here. That's kind of personal, you know?" she asked him.
"Yeah, well welcome to joker watch. Also, just warning you know, batman will start training you as soon as he can, and it's hard." He told her. "Way worse than any training I ever made the titans do," he warned her.
"Okay, I'm ready…. I think." She told him as they left her room to go to the Batcave. The entered the secret passageway into the cave and already found red hood, red robin, batgirl, batman, robin, cat woman, and oracle already there. Everyone quickly glanced at them as they walked in, wondering who Raven was. Raven quickly opened a portal to her house and grabbed her cloak. She quickly put it on, now ready to train.
"Who's she?" Red hood asked.
"She's going to help us against joker, although I do not know much about her powers," Batman admitted, "Care to go?" Batman asked raven pointing to a large platform lowered about 2 feet below ground level. This platform had all sorts of random blocks there, resembling a parkour course.
"Okay," raven replied, about to walk over to the ring when Nightwing grabbed her arm to talk to her.
"When was the last time you used your powers to stop a bad guy?" He asked her quietly, so no one else heard.
"About a week ago, you bat's missed stopping a mugging," she told him winking and walked into the ring. "Don't hold back." She told batman.
"You sure?" Red hood asked off to the side, giving her a look as if she was insane.
"Yeah, if it goes to bad, I can just heal myself…. Just as long as he doesn't kill me." She told red hood.
"Go," batman said as all the bat crew went to stand on the side to watch.
"Okay," they started. Raven saw a mini blast bomb coming toward her so she put up a shield bubble around her, she then dropped it and floated off the ground to try to get a good vantage point, she felt a bat-a-rang coming from behind her and she used her magic to break it, in midair without even turning around. It crumpled apart as it fell to the ground, then Raven saw batman and dived down toward him. He tried to go in for a punch but she was quick and shielded herself. Then she used her magic and made his belt fly off to the side so he had no weapons. She really hoped that he didn't need the belt to hold up his pants, thankfully for her it didn't. He tried going for another punch and was able to hit her in the stomach making her fall back with no air. As he tried to strike while she was down, she teleported to behind him and hit in the back, using her powers to make a black fist. He fell forward and she could hear the gasps of the crowd of to the side of her. He quickly turned around and knocked her legs out from under her and she was down for the count. She got back up quickly, but the battle was over.
Nightwing quickly came over to be proud, "Wow, you were awesome, you landed a hit on the bat!" he told her.
"Yeah well that was me using my good side, wait till you see the dark," she joked. Him knowing what that looked like laughed, wondering how that fight would look. If someone really did see her dark side, they were usually doomed.
"Good work kid," Batman told her offering his hand out for her to shake it.
She quickly put out hers and shook his hand, "Thank you." Then she and Nightwing walked over to everyone else.
"Not terrible," Damian said.
"Dude you owe me 100 bucks," Nightwing said to Red Hood.
"What?" Raven asked him.
"Your boyfriend here bet you would last longer than 5 minutes, I didn't think so. Sorry, you were a lot better than I thought you'd be." Red hood told her.
"Thanks, I guess, and we're not dating." she told him.
"Really by the way you guys look at each other I would hav… oww" he tried to say as Nightwing elbowed him in the ribs.
"Good job," oracle told her. After a few more hours of training, intense sweating, and being exhausted so much you almost pass out, everyone decided to call it a day.
