Hey guys, hope you like this chapter. Sorry it isn't very long, the next one will be...if I get alot of reviews...:D I know I'm evil...

Aqualad stumbled backwards, all of his energy spent. A large red hand came up and swatted him down to the ground. Young Raven looked at her fellow comrades, a scream of rage flying from her lips. A large whitish glow enveloped her. When it dissipated, standing on the ravaged ground was Raven, now her natural age. Her long, purple hair thrashed in waves behind her, as did her white cloak. A look of rage contorted her features. She took a step forward as Trigon stood up in the molten lava. He chuckled.

"You cannot hope to defeat me, girl. Your power came from me. Now that I no longer need you, your power is gone." Even as he said this, Raven lifted her hands, a glowing white emanating from them.

"To quote a friend," She grinned wickedly, "the power does not come from the outside, it comes from within." She blasted Trigon with white hot light. "Fathers are kind. Fathers care. Fathers are there for you when you grow up. YOU ARE NOT MY FATHER." The titans opened their eyes. "The titans are my family. The earth is my home. You do NOT BELONG HERE. So, farewell dad because YOU ARE GOING BACK WHERE YOU BELONG!" With one shriek, a large, white raven flew upwards from the purple haired girl, engulfing the evil being. Trigon roared with rage. The world turned white, a wave passing over everything. The sun shone on the City of Jump as things went back to the way they were, one part at a time. Raven fell to her knees for a moment, almost fainting. She crawled over to Aqualad's side, the rest of her friends already on their feet. Aqualad was not moving. Tears streamed down the girl's pale face. She placed her hands on his chest, willing her healing abilities to transfer to his motionless body.

"Please wake up." She begged quietly. Moments passed. Nothing. Sobs racked her body, she buried her face in his chest. A hand stroked her hair.

"What's wrong?" Aqualad asked.

"You're dead." Raven cried. Suddenly, she stopped. She forced her head up. "Aqualad?" He grinned at her weakly. She smiled, tears of joy replacing those of sorrow as she hugged him.

"Whoa there tiger," He said, "Be careful, don't crush me to death after you brought me back to life." Raven pulled back sheepishly.

"Sorry."

"It's all right." His thumb ran across her cheek. "You're beautiful, you know that?" Raven leaned down and kissed him. He pulled her roughly against him. Beastboy gagged somewhere to the left and muttered something along the lines of "Get a room". Aqualad grinned mischievously against Raven's lips, kissing her harder, just to make Beastboy feel even more uncomfortable. The other titans stood awkwardly around. It was like a three headed man, you wanted to look away, but couldn't help but stare. Raven pulled away, and, much to the shock of the other titans, was laughing. Beastboy's face was as red as a tomato. She stood and pulled Aqualad up. As the titans gathered together, Raven initiated a group hug.

"Aqualad, you did some pretty awesome stuff out there." Cyborg complimented the Atlantean.

"Yeah, he's some kind of amazing, isn't he?" Raven ruffled his hair. Aqualad rolled his eyes.

"Can we please leave before they start to get all mushy?" Beastboy whined. Robin snickered. Four of the titans piled into the T car. Raven stayed behind.

"Well," She said to Aqualad, "I guess this is goodbye for now."

"For now." Aqualad grinned, waggling his eyebrows at her. She couldn't help but smile back. She leaned in to give him a hug, and found his lips waiting instead. Her hands tangled in his hair, his in hers. Cyborg honked the horn. Raven used all of her will power and pulled away, eyes shining with tears.

"I love you." He said.

"I love you too." She hugged him once, holding him tight to her, then ran for the car, pausing once before getting in. She pressed her face against the cold of the window.

"You'll see him again Rae." Cyborg said.

"Not soon enough."
