I do not own the Teen Titans, they are simply props I am using to tell this story. Enjoy.

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

It was an early morning at Titan tower, an attempted three a.m. jewel heist went bad when one of the robbers tripped the alarm. In a panic the two, apparently, brothers began to fight with one another and had to barricade themselves in the store with the night watchman when the cops showed up. The Titans had been called in to assist because Cyborg had begun working on updating their security system. It had been a slow few months as far as major criminals went and the Titan had taken it as a kind of vacation with occasional light duty. Cyborg assured everyone he didn't need their help but they insisted since they were up. Axton was none too pleased with the rude awakening. He thought the world was about to blow up when all the alarms began to ring out and flashing lights appeared out of no where. Once he was awake though he could not return to sleep so he began to set-up the room next to Ravens'. It was for her wife who would be arriving later today from Azarath. Once the Titan returned home from the stand-off, that Axton watch on some sort of pensive, they were greeted with a full breakfast. Everything from ham and eggs, to waffles, to tofu, and of course coffee and tea.

The Titan wasted no time digging in. As it turned out the brothers thought it a brilliant idea to rip the wiring out of all the computers in the security room, this of course caused all the traps, alarms, and shields to activate. An hour spent welding through the thick titanium shields followed by a dangerous trek to the security room only to find the 63 year old security guard had regained consciousness and tazered and handcuffed the two would-be robbers. "Took you long enough." Was all he said before scooting over and letting Cyborg turn off the system.

It was 5:30 a.m. now and Axton informed Raven that she needed to get ready, the Portal would appear at 7:00 a.m. precisely. Begrudgingly Raven made her way to her room to shower and get dressed. The other Titans soon followed suit, not wanting to startle the young women who would be staying with them for an undetermined amount of time. While they readied themselves, Axton readied the tower and prayed the elders did, in fact, make a good match.

On Azarath Lily made the same preparations as her wife. She showered and dressed in a simple white tunic that marked her as married. Her family, both immediate and in-laws, were on hand to see her off. They had tried to convince her to leave, runaway, anything. They said they would hold off the elders and officials as long as possible to give her time to escape. She, however, refused. It was not the elders she fear, but an angry wife. What would she do if she ran? Surly not let her be, she was now the property of the heir of Trigon, she would chase her down and slaughter her family for good measure. No, she would suffer so they would live. With any luck her death would come fast. She was being taken to another planet, more then likely a hell planet of some sort, and then she would die from whatever foul creature or horrible disease got her first.

It was no comfort that Axton, another demon, was to accompany her to certain death. He was the only demon allowed to live on Azarath and was a close friend of the demon child. His parents were servants to Trigon when he arrived to wed Arella, after he achieved his, producing an heir, he slaughtered them and let the infant demon to die. The elders thought it cruel and took the boy in and raised him. No one approved but the elders didn't listen. He spent most of his days at the temple studying with the elders and hiding behind their walls, knowing if he stepped foot out they would kill him. He also didn't hide his true face like her beloved did, no he showed his true face, and Lily wondered if she would see her wife's true face before she was killed. Pushing these thoughts out of her mind she made her way with her family to the garden where the portal would appear and waited with them. And Arella.

They sat in silence until a flash of light appeared and what appeared to be a torn seam on Azarath itself. Having never seen a portal before Lily and her family slowly backed away, unsure of what to do. Arella stood from the bench on which she had been seated and near the portal, standing right beside it. After a minute Axton walked out of the light, as if walking through a door way, and greeted us. My brothers tensed around me, ready to jump and fight at the first sign of danger. Axton turned to Arella and bowed slightly and they had a quick hushed conversation in a foreign tongue none of us understood, and then she presented him with a book. He carefully took it from her and tucked it under his arm, he then turned to me and presented his other arm for me to hold. I could sense my family about to jump him for daring to touch me. He sensed it to and smirked, and for the first time people from outside the temple heard him speak.

"It may seem easy, like walking through a door, but once you step into the portal you will experience a strong pull that will overwhelm you. If you are not careful it is possible to cause yourself server harm." His voice was soft and understanding, it also had a calming effect on me. I nodded and hugged my family once more before stepping up to Axton and taking his hand. Taking one look back at my life I said goodbye and stepped into the light.

He was right, the pull was so strong I found myself clinging desperately to him. Right at 7:00 Axton and Raven opened a portal to Azarath, ten minutes later Axton reappeared with a Lily in the Titan tower. Her legs wobbly and her head spinning she looked up and saw monster before passing out.

Raven was able to use her magic to catch Lily before she hit the ground. Once the girl was safe she glared at Axton, who had enough sense to look guilty. Levetating the girl Raven gently guided her body to her room, after lying her on her bed and checking for any internal injuries for her transport to Titan tower. Satisfied that she was okay Raven left her room and made her way back over to the Titans and Axton.

"Sorry about that, I should of had a tighter grip." Axton said when he saw Raven.

"It's okay, it wasn't intirerly your fault." Raven said taking up the offered tea cup from Axton.

"What do you mean?" He asked curiously.

"Like you said, she is married to the daughter of Trigon, she left her world on the arm of a demon to be delivered to another one. Plus, look at the sight she was greeted with. A green boy, a robot, and orange alien, and us. No wonder she fainted." Raven finish, and the group took a look at each other and had to agree with her.

"So your saying I cleaned my ears for nothing!" Beast boy finally said.

"Wow I can see right through." Cyborg said shining a light in beast boys ear, the group laughed at the two of them.

Once the laughing subsided everyone realized how tired they really were. From yesterdays bomb, to today's early morning, and finally the not-so-warm newly wed reunion. The group retired to their respective rooms for some well deserved sleep.
