Chers,

Franshes

Everybody was looking horrified from Jake to Ravenie.

Jake sighed.

"Yes Ravenie." he told her softly "You did this to me."

Ravenie began sobbing hysterically.

"Calm down!" Jake told her "I'm alright, Ravenie! I'm fine, really!"

"No you aren't!" Ravenie said between sobs "Look at you! And it's all my fault!"

"But...how?" Nightwing asked Jake.

"How what?" Jake asked Nightwing.

"How could she attack you? YOU of all people? And how come she doesn't remember doing it?"

"I was Creak." Jake stated simply.

"Explain." Changeling told his son, nodding for him to go on.

Jake sighed then said

"Creak can hypnotize or- well, I don't know WHAT exactly, he sort of puts people into trances or something- forces them to do stuff. And after they do whatever he asks them to do they can't remember a thing."

"But son, if Creak can do that, then why is he bothering with stopping superheroes at all? Why doesn't he just put us all in trances and make us do the work for him?" Changeling asked.

"Well dad, I think Creak can't put EVERYBODY in trances. There's just- some- kinds of people that for some reason are- I don't know- vulnerable to his powers." Jake replied.

"You mean I'm weak! I'm weak and can't defend myself against him! You were right all along!" Ravenie cried, feeling more stupid than ever.

"Nobody can defend themselves from Creak, my love." Nightwing told his daughter "His powers are unstoppable."

"And I never said you were weak." Jake added "Ravenie, pet, you anything BUT weak."

"Theres a difference between being weak and having a weakness." Raven said firmly.

"How do they work? His powers I mean." Kid Flash asked "Because, he HAS to have a weakness..."

"Nobody knows, I guess." Aqualad replied.

"I know." Jake said.

Everybody turned to look at him once more.

"HOW do you know, son?" Changeling asked him.

"I- I researched a bit about him." Jake said.

"WHY?" All the titans demanded.

Jake shivered slightly. He couldn't really tell them WHY he'd done it, otherwise he'd be telling them that it had been Ravenie who had killed The Flash so instead he said

"Well, you know, he- he was- is- my teammate in the program and, well, I've had to fight him numerous times so, you know, I became curious. I never could defeat him no matter how hard I tried and that seemed a bit odd to me."

"You're lying to us Jake." Raven replied monotously.

Jake silently cursed his mother's powers for detecting his nervousness.

"What REALLY happened son?" Changeling asked.

"C'mon Jake, tell us, we won't get mad." Jinx said.

"I did it because- because I was jealous." Jake finally said. It wasn't a lie. He HAD been jealous when Ravenie had been going out with him (A/N: Meaning when Ravenie was mad with Jake and started going out with Creak). That, and the fact that he had overheard Allison and Creak's conversation had led him to investigate about Creak and his origins.

"Jealous over what?" Starfire asked, then, she seemed to remember "Oh!" she cried.

Everyone looked at her.

Starfire seemed embarrased to say what came next but said it anyways.

"R-Ravenie, my dear," she said "Wasn't this guy the guy you, well, the guy you dated for a short while when- you know- you fought with Jake?"

Everyone gasped at Ravenie.

Ravenie and Jake both groaned.

"Yes mom, he was." Ravenie replied "You don't need to rub it in my face, I think I'm already paying enough for all that, besides, neither Jake nor I like to be reminded of anything having to do with that time, particularly that part."

"You DATED him?" Nightwing half screeched at his daughter.

"Yes dad, I did." Ravenie said, looking directly at her father's eye "And does that really have to do with anything in here?"

"Anyways" Jake replied "I got jealous and investigated a bit about him."

Nightwing nodded, he seemed to be avoiding eye contact with his daughter.

"Go on." he said.

So Jake recounted what he'd found out about Creak for the titans.

"No wonder he's a pretty dangerous bloke." Changeling replied "His dad tried really hard to kill Raven and me, also the rest of us."

"Particularly you." Nightwing told Changeling nodding.

"Dikos tried to kill you dad?" Jake asked his father.

"Yes, countless times." Changeling told his son.

"And now, his son's trying to kill Jake." Summer said.

"Like father, like son, they say."Jake replied glumly "That definitely explains why he wants to kill me so much."

Jake briefly told them about the conversation he'd heard about Creak's game plan.

"So he's the one who killed my father!" Kid Flash replied.

Both Jake and Ravenie fell silent at this.

"We... don't know that Kid Flash." Jake said quietly.

"But of course, it makes perfect sense!" Kid Flash said angrily "Who else would it be?"

"Someone who had been hypnotized by him into doing so?" Ravenie said fearfully.

"If that was indeed the case, then whoever did it is a deep trouble." Changeling replied. Nightwing at his side, nodded gravely.

"How so?" Jake asked them.

"Well, first off they'd have a really tough time proving their innocence and after THAT is done then there's no proof of WHO hypnotized them, also, that person could still be charged for manslaughter."

Jake felt his stomach tie in a horrible knot. Of course. Because manslaughter meant at least a year in jail.

Ravenie was now, more scared than ever.

"Fighting him will be really tough." Aqualad said seriously.

Nobody doubted him on that.


4 days later...

Thanks to the return of his powers, Jake was able to heal fairly quickly.

His punctured lung was painful, but it mended it in the end.

Ravenie still felt terrible about what she'd done to her boyfriend nonetheless.

"I should have listened to you!" she said "I shouldn't have gone! You were right Jake!"

Jake tucked a strand of her jet black hair behind her ear and wiped away her tears.

"Ravenie, love, drop it. We've had this conversation countless times already. It's not your fault. You had no way of knowing that was going to happen, you were just trying to help." he said.

Everyone else murmured in agreement.

"You warned me." Ravenie mubled silently so nobody could hear her.

"Of course, now that we know she is vulnerable to his powers she shouldn't try going against him." Nightwing said severly.

"Of course not." Jake agreed quickly. Nightwing threw him a grateful smile. Jake smiled back, he had a feeling he and his future father-in-law were going to get along just fine.

Ravenie agreed with this as well. Shee did NOT want to be used against her own boyfriend again. She did NOT want to put him through that EVER again.

Ravenie also apologized profusely to Raven and Changeling as well, she had, after all, hurt their son and caused them anxiety.

"Never mind dear, you didn't mean it." Raven told her, smiling. Changeling nodded, smiling at her as well.

After one more day at the hospital Jake was free to leave and everybody prepared to do a big party at the T tower, rejoicing his return.

All of the titans were extremely impressed with Jake's attitude as he recounted the fight entirely.

Lise was laying on her hospital bed, she was finally awake but was still very weak and unstable so she would have to stay here, her parents with her. She was listening attentively to Jake.

"Jake, I cannot thank you enough, you saved my daughter out there, her friends, and you would have rather died yourself than harm her. No words I ever say could repay that back to you." Nightwing told him respectfully.

"That was nothing. I would NEVER harm her. I love her." Jake said.

Ravenie let a few tears fall down her cheeks, feeling now more guilty than ever for everything she'd put Jake through.

"I love you too." She told Jake smiling weakly.

Nightwing, Starfire, Raven, and Changeling stood watching their children, none of them were smiling.

For they could see now, their kids were serious. For Changeling and Raven this could only bring suspicions of a more serious relationship but Nightwing and Starfire knew better. They knew that Jake planned to propose to their daughter and marry her later on. The could also observe now that once Jake proposed to her their daughter WOULD want to marry him and judging by their attitude at the hospital they could tell the time for Jake's proposal was near, despite the promise he'd given Nightwing to wait at least a year, until Ravenie was of age.

For the sake of the night's merriment, the fact that Jake was being let out of the hospital and the upcoming party however, both teen's parents decided to keep quiet and just enjoy being with their children.

Nobody imagined the shoking truth that they would recieve later...
