A/N: This is to all the people who reviewed. Love ya. keep in mind that this is only my second one shot. Thanks. This takes place ten years later.
I don't own Teen Titans.
Raven glanced down at the child crouched beside her. Rae could feel the aura of Nightwing just out of view.
"When are we going to kick some bad guy butt, Mother?" Nightingale questioned in scarcely more than a whisper.
"When tryout father gives the orders." Raven answered gently. She heard Richard chuckle behind her. "What's so funny?"
"Remember how much you hated doing what you were told when we were younger."
"Yes. But listening to you is what saved my life. Or do you forget that night?"
"How could I? I felt a need unlike any other build up in me until I had to go up onto the roof. I've never regretted it." Nightwing stated pulling her close. Much like they did on that night. Ten years ago.
FlashBack
"Let me go Richard." Her voice even more dead sounding than usual.
"What are you doing, Raven?" He asked the still figure in his arms. She looked at him and he saw no light in her eyes.
"I'm swimming. Go back to Starfire. I'm fine." She uttered in the deadest tone. It scared him see her like this. She was usually so strong. Now she was only an empty shell.
"No. I want answers. We haven't seen you step foot out of your room for three weeks. I want answers." he looked into her dead purple eyes. The ones that once had so much life.
FlashBack ends
Raven and Robin, now called Nightwing, had left the Titans shortly after that night. Slade had left and the villains were not that hard to defeat, even at BeastBoy's skill level. They had decided the Teen Titans were no longer Teens. they were now all adults. Raven and Robin became much like Batman. BeastBoy and Cyborg trained new Titans. Starfire had went back to Tamaran to rule with Speedy as her husband. It had taken them a year after that night, to become married with all their teammates involved. Argent, Speedy, and BumbleBee made it to the ceremony. A year later Raven was pregnant with Nightingale.
"I love you Richard."
"I know." Raven swatted him annoyed. "I love you, too, my love."
"Can we go kick some butt, now?" Nightingale interrupted. Both dark birds chuckled and jumped smoothly off the roof to punish those who broke the crime once again.
Richard added afterwards,"I never hung up the phone."
