I do not own Teen Titans or Sly Cooper.

(1993, Happy Camper Orphanage)

Its been a little over a year since Garfield was dropped off at the orphanage. During that time, he had met his soon to be life long buddies, Vic and Dick. He also had his very first heist his second night there. When word got out amongst the children, they were careful to not mess with Garfield and his gang. Even the Anders sister were getting more evolved with them.

Over their time together, the three boys along with the two girls gotten more comfortable with each other. Eating together, playing together, even waiting outside the bathroom for whoever to come out. The only exception was sleeping in the same room together as it was prohibited for boys and girls to sleep together.

So, it was during this time that Garfield had decided that it was time to tell his friends why he was at the orphanage. He also asked the girls to stay behind after the sun went down.

"This better be good, Blondie." Komi said as she stiffed a yawn, "I'm tired."

"It is beginning to be pass our bedtime but please share." Kori said as she rubbed her eye.

"Its about my parents," Gar confessed. Upon hearing this, the two sisters became more awake and shared a glance with each other. The group sat around the nightlight, patiently waiting for Garfield to tell his tale. "One night last year, I was with my dad and he was giving me something. Something he said that would make me successful." He paused, looking down to the cane in his hands. "Then, these people came to my house. They attacked us, my dad told me to hide in the closet. He tried to fight them off but they were too much for him. They took what my dad gave me and they got away with it. I got taken to different homes but because I wouldn't give them my cane I couldn't stay there so I ended up here."

The friends were silent after Garfield had finished his story until Richard broke the ice.

"I suppose if we're sharing then I'm next," he took a deep breath before he started. "Two years ago, I was with my parents at our house. We we're playing these brain teaser games, my parents were really smart especially when came to electronics. Televisions, computers, toys, you name it but it especially smart when it came to computers, hardware and software. So, that night when we were playing these people came to my house. All of them were wearing dark suits with sunglasses and ear pieces. My dad questioned why they were there, when they spoke it was almost like they was no emotion in their voices. All of a sudden, they were taking my mom and dad. They held me back, I saw them being dragged into these black vans. They took me here and told them my parents died. I tried to tell the orphanage the truth but they wouldn't believe me, I've been here ever since."

More silence fell upon the group until Victor spoke up.

"My mom died from childbirth so my dad had to raise on his own. My father was a boxer and win or lose, he made enough money to raise me. I was backstage watching the fight like I always did but this time it was different. The fight went on for what felt like forever, they were bruised and bloodied. During the last moments of the match, my dad and the other guy got locked. When the ref separated them the guy threw a huge right hook that ended the fight. My dad fell to the floor but after the ref counted ten, he never got back up."

A few tears were shed and a couple of sniffles. "Thank you for sharing your pasts with us, friends." Kori said with a sad smile.

"Yeah, thanks, now can we please go to bed?" Komi said, clearly uncomfortable.

"No Komi, we must share our story with them it is only fair."

"Then you can do it without me!"Komi yelled and ran off to her room, Kori looked at her friends with sadness.

"Please forgive my sister, she did not take the loss of our parents as well as I did." Dick placed a comforting hand on hers.

"It's okay, Star," he said.

"Thank you, Richard. We used to live in Pays de la Loire, it is the fifth most wealthiest region in all of France. One night as my mother was tucking us in we heard a loud commotion outside our room. She looked to see what was but she quickly shut the door and told my sister and I to climb out the window and seek help. We did not wish to go, we desired to know what the danger was. But, my mother did not listen and she shoved us out the window, we heard gunshots as we ran. It seemed if we were in the streets all night, I remember how relieved we were when we finally found police. When they took back to my home, almost all of our possessions were gone and my parents were also gone."

It was at this point that tears were being shed by Kori and her sister despite her absence. Dick didn't hesitate to hug the crying girl as he also cried. Gar and Vic had there arms around each others shoulders as they too cried. Cried about the loss of their parents, cried how they would see them again, cried that they were put into this place, cried about what would happen when they leave whether they get adopted or not, but they also cried joy that they had each other until the day of departure comes.

Once they were finished, Kori concluded her tale, "I am happy to say that those that were responsible were captured." She then looked to Garfield, "Is that why you seek to be a thief? To catch the evil people that escaped?"

He nodded, "My entire family, all my ancestors were master thieves, and so was my dad. They stole my destiny from me and I'm going to steal it back!"

"If it is to give justice to your family then count me the in!" The child redhead thrust her hand to the center of the circle seated friends. Each of the three boys placed their hands upon hers and threw them up in the air and triumphantly yelled: "JUSTICE!"

(Roth household)

Raven was seated at her kitchen table working hard on her school work. Her mother helped her as much as she can from over the stove. But, it was her father that was more educated in Raven's work.

Please list, in order, the Miranda rights warning.

Raven bit the bottom of her lip and tapped the eraser end of her pencil on the paper as she struggled to remember the answer, her father spoke up.

"You can decide any time to exercise these rights and not answer any questions or make any statements. Come on dear daughter, you need to know all the rights if you want to be a big bad cop like your daddy."

"But, its getting harder and harder." Raven complained, leaning her head on her hand.

"Raven sweetie, there's going to be a lot of things in life that are going to be hard." Arella, Raven's mother, said.

"Your mother is right, Raven. It wasn't easy for me to become a cop." As soon as he said that, there was a knock on the door. When he opened to see who was, he saw that most of the department was on his lawn and standing before him was police chief Bruce "The Bat" Wayne.

"What a surprise visit chief, what can I do for you?" He said with indifference.

"Cut the crap, Roth! We know everything that you've been doing."

"Who's at the door, mon amour!?" Arella called from the kitchen.

"You really want to do this in front of your family?" The chief challenged. Behind the door, officer Trevor slowly opened a drawer and pulled a pistol, loaded and ready. Quickly, he pulled the door wide open aimed the weapon at Chief Wayne, intent on taking his life. But, Bruce was a second too quick for Trevor and the gun was thwarted and the bullet hit a framed family photo.

Upon hearing a gun go off the two females of the house screamed and Raven ran to see what the commotion was. Even though her mother managed to stop her, she still witnessed the officers tackle her father and the gun sliding to her feet. Trevor struggled to be free but there was too many officers holding him down. As Chief Wayne began to cuff him, he stated what it was that the "officer" was being be arrested for.

"Trevor Roth, you're under arrest for bribery, flouting, corruption of authority, theft, shakedowns, fixing, perjury, direct criminal activities, internal payoffs, framing, and now attempted murder of a police officer and resisting arrest. Read him his rights and get him out of here." The officers dragged him to their squad cars, the chief bent down to pick up his hat that had fallen off during the confrontation along with the family photo that had also fallen.

He handed it to Raven, the bullet hole now accompanying where her father's face once was. "I'm sorry," he said before picking up the used pistol for evidence and exited the house, closing the door. As tears welled up in her eyes, Raven dropped the photo and ran to her room.

"Raven!" Arella called out, surprised by the actions of her usually calm daughter. She went after her and found her laying her bed and crying into her pillow. She sat at the edge of the bed and pulled her into a motherly embrace. At first, Raven just wanted to be left alone but her mother wouldn't have it so she allowed herself to be comforted. She couldn't handle the fact that her father, a man she saw as her hero and wanted to be exactly like him was actually the face of police corruption.

"I don't want to be police officer anymore!" She yelled into Arella's chest, upon hearing this from her daughter she spoke to her words that would carry to become the inspector she was to become.

"Raven, look at me." When she did not comply she said it again with authority. "Look at me." When she finally obeyed she looked up into her mother's eyes that matched her own.

"You are going to become a police officer and you are going to become a better police officer than your father ever was." Raven reburied her face into her mother's chest and cried until there was no more tears to shed.

(Present day, Titan hideout)

Garfield had been remembering the night he had told his friends what had happened to him. But now, closed his eyes intent on getting as much rest as possible before he and the gang head out to China for their next target.

I hope you all liked the origins I made up, I think they came out pretty good. The games never once mention why Bentley and Murray were at the orphanage. I also wanted to give some love to Raven and Starfire and her sister.
