Chapter 9


Love was in the air at the titan tower. Every where you look; there would be a couple making out, grinding on each other, or just plain being 'adorable'. Of course for Raven who has been dealing with this love fest ever since two days ago when Jinx made a surprise visit, leaving Raven all by herself in the couple club. But even after she left, Cyborg was still loved struck and talking to her on the phone any chance he could. Of course even though her and Aqualad are technically no longer a thing, he did say he would visit. And god did she wish he would visit now. She decided to head towards the gym so she could at least avoid any sign of affection, but to her dismay; Beast Boy and Terra were making out on the mat. She had been avoiding Beast Boy for awhile ever sine there fight a week ago and ever since then him and Terra have gotten closer.. way closer.. she shivered at the thought and decided to head towards her room instead(even though she's been in there for most of the day).

"Hey Rae" He yelled from the mat. She was just halfway out the doorway when he noticed her. Raven froze for a moment but instead continued walking as she really didn't want to see the changeling now. But of course as he followed after her leaving a very annoyed, very pissed Terra to her thoughts on the mat.

"You've been in your room all day actually all week.. this is-"

'I really have to go Beast Boy sorry I indulged on your.. make out session" She said and turned to walk towards the elevator.

"Are you still pissed at me? because I said I'm sorry like 8 times" He complained as they made it towards the elevator.

She didn't respond as she continued pressing the elevator button impatiently, "Come on..' she muttered.

"Rae" he said a little stricter turning her body towards him.

"I'm sorry okay" He said a little softer.

"Can you let go of me please I need to meditate" She lied, crossing her arms.

"No you don't"

"Yes I do" she said, feeling offended.

"Your lying, when you lie you always cross your arms and lean on your left leg" He reasoned.

Raven was a little taken back by this. 'He pays that much attention to me?' she wondered but suppressed the she could replied with a snarky remark, the elevator opened finally letting the two get some breathing space since he was very close to her.

"Rae.." he started but the elevator closed as she disappeared. He sighed to himself foolishly as he wish he didn't say those cruel words to her. He actually was planning on her to go to the gym so he could talk to her what he didn't plan was for Terra to follow and then suddenly have a make out session.

"Everything alright?" Terra asked as she came around the corner.

"Uhh.. Yeah.. um yeah It's fine" He said as he turned around and smile at the blonde.

She returned the smile and grabbed his hands, leading him back to where they were "Good"

But before they could head back , the titan siren went off, making everyone stop what they were dong and head to the common's room.


"Okay thank you Officer Larry we're on our way"

"Wait what happened?" Beast Boy asked as he and Terra came into the room.

"There was a murder on Cannary Street, two dead and one injured" Robin explained as he and the others headed for the T car.

They both followed into the garage as Robin got on his motorcycle and headed to place.

"I would like to shot the gun" Starfire said quickly.

"Star it's... never mind" Raven started but decided to forget it. She let out a huge breath when she she saw the green changeling sitting in the middle.

"I'm just gonna teleport there" She reasoned.

"But Raven that's gonna drain you of some of your power we need you fully ready for just in case" Cyborg tried.

She looked over to a smiling Garfield, "I'll be okay" She said with a faint smile and left.

"Alrighty then" Cyborg said and drove off.

As all the Titans made it to the abandoned building they all saw a horrific and brutal murder. With Two bodies outside the building and blood trailing up into the house. They could all could even smell the trail of death even from across the road.

"Alright well.. Beast Boy you sniff out any signs of the killer and the victims, Cyborg tried to figure who these poor girls are, Terra go search the ground and see if you can find any footprints or D.N.A, Starfire... go get info from the cops about what happen get everything you can, and Raven follow me were going to check inside" Their leader order and they all left.

"So who do you think did all of this?" Raven asked softly as the entered the building.

"I don't know anyone in Jump who would do something this violent.. I don't even think Slade would do this" the boy wonder said in astonishment.

"What are we going to do-"

"Rave-"

"Ssshh someone's upstairs" She motioned quietly.

He then nodded and slowly tiptoed up the stairs as Raven followed behind. As they quietly made it up the stairs the vigilante came rushing out the door when it noticed them. The vigilante then ran back into the room he came for as Robin and Raven followed. Raven used her demonic powers to break the door hinges as they entered.

"Who are you?" Robin said strictly.

The vigilante then pulled out two guns and began shooting as Raven put up a shield to block the bullets. He then ran towards the door and Robin followed after. The vigilante tripped on a broken stair giving Robin enough time to catch up and he then went for his mask as the vigilante blocked his hand and kicked the boy wonder off his feet, making him fall hard on his head. Raven soon followed after the vigilante into the woods behind the building. Raven ran as fast as she could after the vigilante and manage to catch up to it when the vigilante knocked her down on the ground and hovered over her.

"Little bird go back to your nest" the vigilante said as he pulled out a gun and pull the trigger.


"Hey grass stain found anything?" Cyborg asked as he continued his research.

"Yeah the girls,there scent came from Gotham...so did the killer.. the blood that goes in the building.. it's a mix between the girls and the killer's so I can't really scope- I think I know where the killer went" He said and headed towards the building.

"Robin I think-"

"Robin dude what happened?" Beast Boy questioned his leader as he held onto the back of his head.

"The killer.. he was.. h-here .. Raven.." He said as flinched in pain. Beast Boy froze in shock, "Raven?.. " he then transformed into a dog and sniff out her scent that happened to follow the scent of the killer... 'this can't be good' he thought. He transformed back into himself and followed the scent into the woods. He continued going deeper into the woods as the killer's scent began mixing with Raven's making him more worried. He finally made it to where there scents both collided and he looked down to see Raven shivering.

"Raven" he said loudly in relief.

"Stay away from me" she shouted as she covered her face but realized who it was and let down her hands in relief.

"Rae.. what happened?.. Was it the killer?.. did he.. did he-"

"No.. he just.. I'm fine I just had another hallucination.. and um he got away.. I thought he was gonna.. kill me.. but he didn't.." She told as she sat there and stared into the darkness of the forest, " My powers are gone again" she sighed in frustration as she tried to use them.

"Wait you had another one of those things" Beast Boy asked with concern, "What happened in them this time?" .

"Slade and my father... and Terra... Beast Boy we can't.. we can't trust her!" She said as she started crying softly.

"Look Raven I think you may just be tired-"

"Whatever Beast Boy... just forget it.. Let's just. Lets just head back to the crime scene" She said shaking a bit as she got up.

"Rae-"

"No just forget it.. You don't believe me.." Raven concluded as she slowly walked back to scene.

"Your injured"

"I'll be okay"

"No you won't your whole ankle is out of place Rae"

"It's not like I haven't been through worse" She said coldly and continued limping back to the group. He sigh and ran to and grabbed her and carried her bridal style.

"Put me down Beast Boy" She demanded coldly.

"Just because your pissed at me doesn't mean I'm gonna let you make your condition worse" He replied calmly.

"I could care less about my condition" She said rudely, crossing her arms.

"Well I do" he said nicely.

"Seriously let me down" she demanded.

"No your in bad shape and walking on your broke ankle will only make it worse" He told her.

After what seemed like hours, they finally made it back to the group.

"There you guys are" Terra said happily but then her smile turned into a frown

"Raven broke her ankle and I carried her although she was being very stubborn" Beast Boy answered before Terra could say anything.

"I'm fine Beast Boy you can let me down" She huffed.

Cyborg then motioned Beast Boy towards the T car and he went and placed her there in the back seat.

"Why are you putting me in the car" She asked.

"Because your ankle is broken and your don't have your powers so your no use right now" Beast Boy said but then realized his words, "Okay I meant that in the nicest way possible and-"

"Thanks Beast Boy for the kind words"

"I'm sorry Rae.. I'm trying here" He said.

"Thanks for helping" she replied kindly.

"Rae seriously don't... what?"

"Thanks for helping" She repeated.

"Oh no problem.. so does that mean I'm off the hook?"

"Yeah I guess for now" She said sarcastically.

"Ouch Rae" he played along.

"Alright well we found everything we needed" Cyborg said as he headed for the drivers seat.

"Did they figure out the killer?" Raven questioned.

"No but it's going under the unsolved files for sure" He said as he adjusted himself in the seat.

"The girls were Jessica and Marley Parker and that's all I could get out of it" Cyborg informed to them.

"Maybe we can call up Batman" Beast Boy said happily.

"As if Robin will ever call him, there still in a fight and the last thing Robin wants to see other than Slade, is him" Cyborg concluded with a laugh.

"Still not a bad idea" Beast Boy muttered to himself.

"We should call him" Raven spoke up making both Teens turn their head in shock.

"Look we don't handle murder cases, he does, the most we've ever gotten is a hostage situation gone wrong never a plain out brutal murder for the cops and everyone to see, he could help us" Raven explained.

"She has a point" Cyborg said as he thought about it.

"Lets do it" Beast Boy said cheerfully.

"Are we gonna tell him?" he asked.

"No at least for now the less he knows the better" Raven said calmly.


Okay this chapter is pretty short and I'm sorry for that I will be making it up to you guys by posting 3 chapters at once soon.

A few announcements I need to say.

I'm gonna be bringing in some new characters of course if you haven't figured it out yet the supposed 'killer' is Red X a.k.a Jason Todd(hint- "Little bird"). But he will be mainly introduced in Chapter 11 and also Batman and Tim Drake Robin, and Barbara Gordon will also be in that chapter. I will be digging more in Terra and Slade. I be bring in more action scenes and more drama and more romance. I may not update for awhile only because I want the next 3 chapters that I post to be at least 6,000 words and very descriptive so I can't promise that I'll update within this week or next.

Until Then
