I don't own Teen Titan's, comic book or TV series. I own Mary.

Mary turned her head and looked at the water beneath her. She sighed as she wiped off the smear of oil off of her cheeks. She stared continually at the water and then turned her head for what felt like an eternity. A large shadow had been watching her.

"Hello father," Mary whispered. She moved her eyes from the water to stare at her father in pedestrian clothes. Slade's right eye was covered with an eye patch as he stared back at his daughter.

"What are you doing out here?" Slade asked.

"You told me to get some sun, you know, go outside," Mary said slowly.

Slade looked down at his shoulder high daughter. She had still been growing and would continue to one day get up to his height or maybe, just a little bit shorter. He patted Mary's head and then grabbed her right shoulder. He guided her toward the bright city, now illuminated with the lights from people's apartments and houses.

"What do you think of the city daughter?" he asked while they passed a cowering mugger.

"I like the lair better."

Mary turned her head to stare back at the mugger, curled over in his own lap. 'He was probably beat up by the person he was trying to mug,' Mary thought.

Slade pushed Mary's head away from facing the mugger, not wanting the mugger to charge and 'feel her up'. "Keep moving Mary," Slade sighed.

"What's up with that guy?"

Slade didn't answer his daughter until they were out of range of the mugger's hearing. "He's the kind of person that failed school, doesn't have a job, and probably has a family that is screwed up in the head."

Mary beamed at her father's knowledge. "Okay!" Mary shouted. She looked ahead at the football stadium. The bright sunlight and the red uniforms were appealing to Mary. "What's that father?" Mary asked.

Slade smiled. He patted his daughter's head and whispered his answer while they passed. "That is football. I know that you read about the sports of America for homework one day."

Mary watched the football players in pennies score a touchdown. The play started again because the coach wasn't fully satisfied. The football twirled past the goal post from where Slade and Mary were watching and outside of the fence. Mary jumped into the air and caught the football.

The entire football team stared at the mousy haired girl who caught the football that was out of all of their reach. The whistle in the coach's mouth fell out, dousing a spot on his shirt in saliva. "Hey girly!" he shouted. "Pass the ball over to the boy's!"

Mary was about ten feet ahead of her father. She turned back to look at him. "Give it back…" Slade said, smirking.

"Yeah, come on girl! Gimme da ball!" a close player said.

Mary smiled. She set up a powerful stance and then threw the ball carelessly. She smiled as the ball soared past the fence, toward the opposite goal line and hit the coach. The coach staggered. He fell to the ground and all of the players rushed over to him.

"Sorry!" Mary shouted in apology.

Slade took her by the shoulder and lead her away from the now angry coach and team. "That wasn't what the guy meant by 'hand over the ball,'" Slade said.

"But…" Mary started. "I did nothing wrong…"

"If people see that you can throw a football across a football stadium, they're going to come after you and put you in some kind of insane team."

Mary nodded her head.

The next day, Mary was walking past the stadium, alone. She stopped as the players surrounded her. "I knew that I should've taken the ally…" Mary whispered to herself.

Okay, I understand now that I have been spelling Ravager as Ravenger. I'm sorry. I have had the name Raven on the mind lately. This entire story revolves around the episode 'Go' which is the very first time that all of the Titans meet. Again, I'm sorry that I spelled her name wrong…

But, in other words, please comment. I have worked really hard on this.
