Valerkyrie pulled out the keys from her handbag. She unlocked the door of her apartment and walked in.

"Hey, welcome home," said a voice. "The kids are sleeping." A woman stood up and smiled at Valerkyrie. She flipped her pink ponytail, and gave Valerkyrie a hug.

"Thanks Jinx," said Valerkyrie. "Sorry for the trouble, again."

"It's alright; you can always count on me and Flash." Jinx said. "Besides, I am the kids' godmother and I should have the responsibility to look after them when their mother is not around. Therefore, I was just doing my job." She flashed Valerkyrie a grin. "So how's work today?"

"Well....I met him." Valerkyrie said. "He looked depressed, like something terrible had happen to him."

"Whoa, that's startling." Jinx said. "So... did he recognize you?"

"Fortunately, no." Valerkyrie said. She removed her wig, showing her dark violet hair.

"You still don't plan to tell him, huh?" said Jinx. "Maybe you should just tell him... for the sake of the kids."

"Nah, this is too complicated. He married Starfire, remember? The alien princess from Tamaran." Valerkyrie spat. "I hate to admit it; she was still beautiful, after ten years."

"So what do you plan to do, Raven?" said Jinx. "You can't hide this from them forever."

Valerkyrie removed her contact lens. Her dark violet blue eyes looked at Jinx. "Well, I will find a suitable timing. Thanks for helping me babysitting them tonight."

"Good night." Jinx said, she took her leather jacket and walked out of the door.

Raven put her wig and contact lens back into her room. She walked to another room. Two kids are lying on two beds. Raven smiled and tucked their blankets.

"Mother?" the boy woke up, and asked. "Is that you?"

"Yes Falcon. It's me." Raven rubbed his head. "You two haven't given Auntie Jinx any troubles have you?"

"Nope, we didn't." The girl said, rising from her bed. "All we did was watching TV and having dinner. Except for Auntie Jinx kept having mushy phone calls with uncle Flash. I found it pretty...disturbing."

Raven laughed. "Now you two, Phoenix and Falcon, go back to sleep. If you guys behave well I can take you two to the bar where I work."

"Sweet," said Phoenix, grinning at her mother. "Good night, mother," said Falcon, placing his head onto the pillow. Raven stroke his hair tenderly. She stroke Phoenix's back. After the kids are fast asleep, she smiled and went out of the room. She let herself fell onto the couch. She had a flashback.

(Flashback)

A girl walked on the dark streets alone. She tucked her robe tighter to herself. The winter night winds are chilly. Her bones thrilled. She walked motionlessly. Her eyes stared at the road. Nobody was at the streets, for that was a terribly cold night. She breathed on her pale hands and rubbed them, trying to make herself warmer. She walked into a 24-hour pharmacy.

"Excuse me.... May I... um...have a pack of pregnancy test?" Raven summoned all her courage and asked.

"Why of course, young lady," the shop keeper answered, handing her a pack of pregnancy test.

She paid him and went into a public toilet.

Here goes, Raven thought. Good luck Raven.

She performed the test.

Positive.

The results are positive. She was pregnant.

What in the name of Trigon? She thought. This couldn't be happening. I have just left my home, my shelter and I am pregnant? What the fuck is going on this world? She slammed her fist onto the wall. She walked back onto the streets. Suddenly she felt that the earth is shaking, the sky is moving and she blacked out.

All she heard was, "Hey! Are you alright? Jinx....."

Later on, she woke up and found herself in a bed. This was not her room. This was a strange place.

"Wake up already?" A familiar voice was here. Raven raised her head and saw Kid Flash. He was sitting next to the bed. "Hey, where the hell am I?" asked Raven.

"Our place." A girl's voice said. Jinx was holding a bowl of porridge and she walked in. She placed the bowl onto the bedside table. "Flash saw you fainted on the streets when he was patrolling. So he took you back."

"But you two are together? Aren't you one of the Hive Five?" Raven raised an eyebrow. She didn't trust Jinx.

"I am no longer a villain. Being a heroine is more suitable for me. Besides, I can't have a hero as a boyfriend if I was a villain." She smiled.

"Well, thanks a lot." Raven said. "But I think I should go now."

"You should leave later," said Kid Flash. "At least until your twins are born."

Twins, oh shit. Raven thought. "How do you know?"

"Well... to make sure that you are alright, we took you to a clinic. They did some tests," said Kid Flash. "They said you are having a boy and a girl, for 3 months."

"Oh great," said Raven. She scratched her head. "Well... do you think I should go for an.... artificial miscarriage?"

"You mean an abortion?!" shouted Jinx. "No way! You will be killing two lives! They are innocent!"

"You can stay as long as you like, Raven." Kid Flash said. "You can count on us."

"All you have to do is rest and stay here, we will help you with the other stuff." Jinx said.

"Well... do promise me one thing." Raven said. Her dark violet blue eyes staring into Jinx's pink eyes. "Please do not contact the ...Titans," said Raven. "I have left them."

"We promise, now get some rest or have some porridge."

Raven closed her tired eyes.

(Flashback ends)

She befriended Jinx, the ex-criminal now heroine, who later got her a job as barmaid in the bar "Dark Magic". She knew that the Titans broke up when she has left for 1 year. Starfire and Robin got married when Falcon and Phoenix was about five years old. Beast Boy and Terra went to be conservationists and animal rights specialists. Cyborg went to be a CEO of some technology company. But she has to hide herself away from the media. She must do so in order to protect her children. She hid herself under the camouflage of her wig, contact lens and thick make up. The disappearance of Raven, the Titan was a mystery of Jump city for the past decade. No one knew that Valerkyrie was Raven, except for Jinx and Kid Flash.

She looked out of the window and smiled.

No one would know the secrets, no one.

No one could destroy her life.
