Huntress: Yay, an update! Thank you to all those who reviewed, followed and favorited the story; it means a lot to me. Even if a review's only a few words, it makes me so happy to see them. And the more reviews I get, the sooner I update. ;) So those who didn't review, there's a little button at the bottom of the screen for you. For those who did, your appreciatiation is also at the bottom. Anyway, I am writing this from the basement of Titans East Tower! I'm here with Raven and Jinx, and we are on a mission to kidnap a certain Titan and use his diary as a fan fiction! Say hi to the nice people girls.
Raven: You don't pay us enough for this.
Jinx: She doesn't pay us at all.
Huntress: You bet I don't! I'm mostly broke, anyway.
Jinx: And yet you find money to buy the new Gone book…
Huntress: … Just do the disclaimer.
Jinx: Fine. Huntress of the Shadows doesn't own the Teen Titans. We belong to DC Comics. She doesn't technically own this fan-fic either, as it takes place in The End Part One.
Huntress: I edited this scene a bit, so please don't hate me. Happy reading and wish us luck!
A Little Luck
Raven turned away from the door to her cell- no, cell meant she was imprisoned against her will and that she belonged in restraint. She was here of her own accord and for her own good. Confinement area sounded more pleasant. She dropped her gaze to the floor, her hood shadowing her face and her cloak gathering around her body.
There was a quiet hiss and a click as the door behind her clicked shut and her friends filed out. How did they not hate her? She was the daughter of a demon, the very incarnation of evil. Devil spawn. Her purpose was only to be a portal that would lead to the destruction of the Earth. Ana yet they protected her, as if that would help in the least. They were prepared to face down Trigon the Terrible if it meant defending Raven.
Behind her, the eight-inch thick steel door hissed open again. Raven stiffened and whirled around, expecting some demon sent by Trigon- she refused to think of him as her father. Instead of the fiery, grotesque minor demon she was anticipating, a pair of bright green eyes were staring back at her.
For a moment that lasted ages, Raven found herself captivated in their emerald depths. Emotions swirled beneath their glassy surface and she was drawn into them. Emotions, too many to count or list, pushed their way into her mind. Fear and concern for her safety as well as determination to protect her were the most prominent. However, there was one that was unfamiliar to her. She could feel the first three emotions rolling off the person in waves. But the fourth was tucked deeper into the subconscious and guarded much more heavily.
"Raven?" A soft whisper filled Raven's ears and she found that she was staring into Beast Boy's eyes. She took a hasty step back, suddenly glad for the hood, as he couldn't see her blush.
"What?" she muttered, glancing between him and the floor.
Beast Boy stood awkwardly in front of her, one hand on the back of his neck. His other hand hung limply at his side, his fingers tightly closed around something. "I-I… uh… Have something for you," he murmured, casting his eyes down. He moved forward and took Raven's hand in his free one. He gently placed something small in her palm. He closed her fingers around it and whispered, "For luck," keeping his eyes locked with hers. He gave her hand a squeeze and lightly placed his hand on her cheek, his thumb tracing her cheek bone. Then he turned and ran out the door.
Raven stood still, not really sure what had just happened. She opened her hand slowly to find a small copper disk resting there. It was slightly tarnished, yet still shone merrily in the florescent lights. A penny. Specifically, the penny Best Boy had found earlier that day. What was the superstition? When you find a penny, it brings you luck.
She sighed. She'd need all the luck she could get and then some, not that it would help. Raven rubbed the face of the coin slowly with her thumb. "Please," she whispered, bringing it close to her face, "Keep them safe. Let me protect them from Trigon."
The coin seemed to shine a little brighter, as if agreeing to her request. Raven sat down in the center of the room, her eyes closed as she thought of her friends.
Robin was their fearless leader. Yet she had seen a side to him that was softer, more compassionate. He helped her not be so terrified of her fate. She couldn't let him down, not ever.
Starfire was her best friend, the person Raven knew she could always go to for support and to pour her heart out to. Even if Star didn't know what to do, she would smile and tell her everything would be alright.
Cyborg was her older brother, always her protector. He would murder anybody who tried to hurt Raven. Now it was here turn to protect him.
Beast Boy… He was the one who always made her laugh on the inside, though she couldn't show it. And perhaps one day he'd be more. But he had faith in her, and that was all Raven needed.
Yes, she would protect them, even if it meant sacrificing herself and the rest of the God damned planet.
Huntress: Okay, we're still locked in the basement, but no worries! We'll be out eventually. Raven, I thought you knew the codes?
Raven: Well, sorreee. This isn't my tower. I don't know everything. You know, it would be easier to kidnap someone from your own dimension.
Jinx: Fine, I'll open it. *Shoots hexes at the door* *Door explodes and alarms go off*
Raven: Now you've done it! Let's go!
*All three run upstairs and down corridors. They stop at a door with an arrow on it.*
Huntress: Here it is. Raven, you take our lovely friend in there back to my room. Jinx, you stall Bee and I'll get the diary.
Raven and Jinx: Got it.
Huntress: Before I die by Bumble Bee, I would like to thank those who reviewed.

Harmonious Wolf- Thank you for thinking so! I wasn't sure how I did, or if the characters were a little OOC. I hope they stay in character for this one.
Bluelightsaber12- Thank you! I hope you like this one as well!]
Bumble Bee: What in the name of all things holy are you doing here Huntress? I thought you were in Jump?
Huntress: Yeah, well I needed to get something from Speedy. *holds up diary* But I'm just leaving now. Bye! *Jumps into plot hole*
Bee: That girl… Review, please!
