Richard Grayson watched as his parents fell from a high wire when he was twelve. He knew the story behind the 'Tragic Accident that hit The Flying Grayson'. They were threatened by Tony Zucco. When Tony discovered Richard was going to tell the police of what he knew, Tony had attacked and Richard hit his head and gotten amnesia. Most of his memories were regained while he was in the Catholic orphanage. Batman adopted Richard, keeping an important secret from him. Three years after Robin leaves Batman's side, the secret is too troubling to keep hidden. What will Batman do when Robin learns the truth? And what will happen with the Teen Titans?

Rated: T for now…

Takes place just after Robin discovers Slade might still be alive. (If you don't know what I'm talking about, it's "Haunted", my favorite episode EVER. Go watch it.)

Warnings: Spoiler alert if you never read the comics. Also contains spoilers of the entire series so…Watch the episodes if you haven't already.

Discusses eating disorders/depression/suicidal themes in later chapters, along with mentions of child abuse.

Any pairings are PG romance at most…

This story throws a lot of anger/hate towards Bruce Wayne, but that's not how it will end so you have to read the whole thing :D

Characters: Robin, Batman, Starfire, Raven, Beast Boy, and Cyborg. With mentions of Slade, Trigon, and a few other villains that you should recognize. Also brings up Tony Zucco, John and Mary Grayson, and Introduces a new character.

If you review, I read your stories and will send a shout out so…Rate and Review :D

Here is the final chapter. It is long, sad, and contains an ending you should expect by now.

Enjoy!


The night passed quickly for the Teen Titans. Three pizza boxes rested on the counter. The leftovers were already in the refrigerator. The rest of the T Tower was spotless, even empty. It was five of the clock in the morning, and Robin was already shouting the battle call, "Titans, GO!"

"Why did it have to be Mammoth and the other freaks?"

"What's the matter Beast? Can't fight without your girlfriend?"

Beast Boy glared at Gizmo, "I can fight just as well." He turned into a pterodactyl, racing to catch up to the geek with a jetpack.

Robin looked around, "Where is Angel?"

"She sort of disappeared after dinner." Raven teamed up with Cyborg to fight Mammoth while Starfire took on Jinx. Robin sprinted to help, tossing his small grenades to the pink haired witch's feet.

"Hey BB, I found where they're hiding the cargo." Angel sprinted around the corner.

"Whoa…" Beast Boy turned to see her in a uniform. Not Raven's this time, but her own white uniform. Her hair was pulled into a ponytail, but still seemed to be the same length. A silver cape draped over her shoulders, but her feet were covered by black flats. She looked like an angel, but something seemed off. A punch landed on his jaw, "Not cool, man!"

"Hello? Villain here!"

Angel laughed before jumping. She trapped Gizmos hands by his side, then broke his jetpack, "Don't you just hate it when the heroes do well?"

The two brought Gizmo to the SWAT car. Jinx and Mammoth were on their way after Cyborg's blast caught Jinx off guard. Mammoth was brought down by Raven's ever famous spell. Beast Boy smiled, "I didn't think you were coming."

"And miss a fight? Come on, you know me better than that."

Apparently I don't. "Come on, I'm starving."

"Sounds like a day for waffles!" Cyborg hopped into the T car, "Robin, you want a lift?"

"I've got my bike. I'll follow."

When the Titans returned, Cyborg started making waffles. Beast Boy was teaching Starfire how to play Lizilla. Raven went straight into her room after the mission. She looked through her books until she found the one she wanted. The Red Book of Mythology. She skimmed through until she found it. She saw the symbol that was on Angel's ankle. It was a burn mark, the same mark that was on the page of her book.

"There's gotta be another way…"

"I should've known you'd…Sorry, I didn't mean to barge in, I thought you'd want your uniform back."

"It's fine."

"What are you looking for?"

"I looked into that ritual. The one Damian never finished."

"Then you know how it should have ended."

"You know you should've died?"

"I know you're trying to find another way. I appreciate it, I do."

"I don't understand. You could have powers, stronger than what you have now. You could be unstoppable."

"Sure. But I'd never be human again. I miss it. Smiling at the memory behind the scars, crying with the pain. If they go, they're gone for good. I wouldn't change that."

"What happens when they go?"

"I keep fighting. There's a reason I preferred combat to magic."

"You knew they'd be gone…"

"I didn't want to rely on them and then fail because I'm not strong enough." She began to walk out of the room, "Cyborg's almost done with the waffles."

She walked down the hallway, finding Beast Boy along the way, "I was under the impression you'd be first to take the waffles."

"I thought I saw someone I knew."

"Everything okay?"

"I don't know." He scratched his head, "I'm not sure. Waffles are done. Robin sent me to come get you."

She followed him to the recreation room, scared by the silence, "Did I do something? Say something?"

"No, why?"

"I've never heard you quiet before."

"Well, I was thinking more about you."

"I don't follow."

"Well Gizmo knows we're dating, how many other villains know? How did they find out? And what was that with the fighting? Three days ago you didn't want to look at a fight, all of a sudden you're this magic kung fu master?"

"You think those criminals have someone stalking the Titans?"

"I'm thinking it's not something we should ignore."

"Alright, what do you say we do?" She studied his face, "You want me to leave."

"I can't watch someone I love get hurt. Not again. Especially you."

"I get it. But that's not the reason you want me to go. I still have some of my powers, remember?"

He sighed, "I saw Terra today."

She merely smiled, "I knew she'd come back. I'll go. For you. But you promise me I'm not leaving for nothing."

He hugged her, "You're amazing, you know that?"

"I shouldn't go without saying goodbye to everyone."


"You're leaving?" Starfire was stunned by the news.

"Gizmo knew BB here and I were going out. If he knows that much, how much else do they know? If it was Mind Reader, and he's loose, you guys are in danger. Me sticking around gives him all the more reason."

"You're sure about this? We brought Mind Reader down before." Cyborg no longer found himself tempted by the plate of waffles before him.

"I'm sure." She offered a smile to the Titans, then pulled the yellow and black communicator out of her pocket.

Robin stopped her, "Keep it. You're still one of us."

She smiled before waving goodbye.

Rosella "Angeles" Grayson made her way down to the first floor before flying away. She was wearing the faded torn jeans and her blue shirt, no longer covered in blood. The Teen Titans waved goodbye, but did not return to their waffles. They looked to each other, unsure of what to do now.


So that was "Home". There will be countless more stories of Angel's life, including what the Titans do next. There will be a new story up in an hour or so titled "Mr. Teddy Bear" which will tell the story of the Flying Graysons through Robin's eyes as the Titans reflect the days Angeles spent with them.

Rate and Review Please

Also note-If you didn't like this story because it was lacking descriptions or whatever, all of my stories will be different. "White Rose" will be posted in August and will be a one shot, so it will have a lot of details and less dialogue (this story bored me because there was more dialogue than any descriptions).
