Hunter appeared in his room which he shared with his wife of ten years.
It was four in the morning.
He looked to the bed and there laid his beautiful wife.
Rachel Drake who was also known by the name of Raven.
She was reading a book that he had bought her almost thirteen years prior.
Her purple hair having gained small streaks of silver over the years, due to their chosen lifestyle and Hunter's nightly activities taking a toll on her but to Hunter, she was just as Beautiful as the day that he fell for her.
Hunter looked down at his hands which seemed to be streaming blood from several wounds and growled at the pain.
He went into the bathroom and started to run his hands under the water.
Over ten years Hunter hadn't changed much, he got taller, he got musclier, and He matured but Physically he still looked mostly the same.
He heard the sheets shift as Raven walked into the bathroom and leaned against the door frame watching him.
She sighed before she said "Lilith isn't happy"
"why not? Did Cyborg fail her on her Mechanic's test?"
"no, she's mad because you bailed on her" Hunter looked at his wife clearly confused before she continued "the three of us we're supposed to sit down with the entire team tonight, Terra and Jackson had managed to calm Carlisle's blood cravings enough so he was safe around us, Richard and Starfire managed to get their shit together enough to make it here and Cyborg made his famous pancakes for dessert"
Hunter looked at her shocked and said, "the get together was tonight?"
Raven looked at her husband and said "yes, it was tonight, but you were so obsessed with getting us money that you forgot"
Hunter looked down before slamming his hand into the sink cracking it slightly on the surface as he said: "fuck, I'm horrible aren't I?"
Raven walked closer to him grabbing his hand and held it as she said "no, you're not horrible, you're still the man I married, your still Lilith's father, you're still the Guy who at the age of sixteen managed to take on and kill my father, your Still the guy that at the age of nineteen became the first Demon to become a god"
Raven pulled him lightly over to the bed and grabbed a first aid kit out from under the bed and started Bandaging his hand with a sigh.
"you're not healing as you should"
He nodded and said "yeah, I know"
"do you know why?"
He sighed.
He knew why he wasn't healing, and he could feel his strength being sapped but he didn't want to worry his wife.
"Hunter" Raven said softly moving his head to look her in the eyes "Honey, if it's putting you in danger you need to tell me, so I can help"
Hunter's eyes met the pale scars on her neck, each of which were caused by his Fangs.
He was weak because he hadn't fed on blood for three years.
And it was only now getting to him.
He sighed knowing he couldn't lie to her.
"honey what is it?" she asked.
"I haven't had blood for years now"
"Hunter you know what that does to you," Raven said slightly panicked "how many times have you pulled through at the last minute because of me giving you some of my blood" He stayed quiet "How many time Hunter have you beaten all odds because you've fed"
He sighed and said "I've beaten a lot of odds Rae, I've beaten Every odd in the book and made it my bitch, but I don't like the risk of hurting you" she Stayed silent before he asked "how many scars do you have to hide from Lilith because I've lost control, how many Scars do you have to hide because of my Fangs"
Raven Looked up at him and soon soft Amethyst eyes met hard Emerald Green eyes as she said "Honey I can take it"
Hunter nodded knowing she was right.
Raven stood up pushing the med kit away before sitting on his lap.
She moved her Hair exposing her neck allowing him access to her neck.
He moved upwards opening his mouth as his fangs grew.
When he was at the same level as he neck he brushed his fangs against an especially sensitive part of her neck earning him a soft moan from his wife before she lightly punched his chest.
He smirked at her and said "I don't like it and you know it"
Raven cocked an eyebrow at her husband and said "you love my blood and you know it"
Hunter sighed and wrapped his arms around her before he said "Rae, Listen, I'm fine, I'll heal eventually, and crime has been quiet recently" Raven nodded before he continued "plus Lilith and Carlisle have been passing all of their classes with flying colours"
Raven sighed and nodded again before she said "You know Carlisle and Lilith have been spending more time together"
Hunter nodded laying his head on Raven's shoulder as he said "Yeah I know, I'm going to go down and talk to her soon"
"They both know they're not Blood-related, so I can see them getting together if they're not already a couple"
"and you're not worried?"
"no, I'm not"
"why not?"
"because there's a three-year difference between you and I"
"exactly, do you really want our daughter to follow in our relationship?"
"her and Carlisle's relationships would be Extremely Different"
"How?"
"Lilith won't have Slade Chasing after her, she won't have someone who raped her for the first time at the age of sixteen, she won't fall pregnant from constant rapes at the age of eighteen and a half, she sure as hell won't find out she's pregnant at Bruce Wayne's Manor while he's throwing a Masquerade Party"
Hunter went to stand up but his superhuman strength failed him and he collapsed back onto the bed.
Raven went into their top draw retrieving Hunter's Leatherman pocket knife flicking out the blade and said "Honey, this is your last chance, Feed or I'll force you to feed"
Hunter cocked an eyebrow at his wife almost calling her bluff.
Until.
Raven pressed the blade to her wrist like she used to do eighteen years prior making a shallow incision into her wrist, just deep enough to catch her Vampiric Husband's attention.
His eyes widened glowing blood red as he moved her wrist to her mouth when the blood encountered his over-sensitive tastebuds he started to suck her wrist wanting more of her blood.
He dug his fangs into her wrist making sure he didn't hit the vein and made sure he didn't inject her with Vampiric Venom which he had Developed three years after their wedding.
A small moan escaped his lips as he drank from his wife.
After a small while, he pulled his fangs out of her wrist and liked the wound swallowing the leftover blood in his mouth.
He quickly moved her onto the bed before he went into the bathroom and rinsed his mouth to get rid of the colour before he came back into the room and said "your Evil"
Raven held her wrist trying to reduce the bleeding as she said "Honey, it was the only way to get you to feed"
He glared at his wife and said "you could have hit a Vein, again"
"honey I haven't self-harmed for any other reason except to get you to feed"
Hunter's face never softened as he said firmer than before "Rae you could have hit another Fucking Vein, your veins are so fucking scarred as it fucking is I don't need to run the risk of either hitting one of your veins with my fangs or you cutting them yourself"
Raven stood up and shouted at him "Hunter if you just fed like your supposed to then I wouldn't need to run that fucking risk!"
They were silent for a moment before Hunter moved and locked lips with Raven running a hand under her shirt.
Raven, however, wasted no time with taking his shirt and hoodie off.
Raven broke the kiss and looked at his hand which seemed to have healed already.
She smirked at him.
Hunter rolled his eyes and walked over to his shirt and threw it on before disappearing from their room and appearing in the room below theirs which was Lilith's room.
When Hunter appeared in her room he looked at the bed and saw that a girl in a black tank top and blue jeans were sitting on the bed.
She had Snow white hair which had black and Purple streaks throughout it.
Around the girl were sheets upon sheets of paper with different notes on it.
Some sheets had writing in Tameranian other Sheets of paper had pictures of cars and the individual parts and a few sheets of paper had Richard's handwriting on it with Pictures of Different fighting stances on it.
Next to the girl was a smaller boy but not far off her height.
He had blonde hair, sapphire blue eyes, he wore a black tight-fitting T-shirt with a Red 'X' on it, black jeans with a silver chain on it and black socks which were developed by Cyborg to reduce the sound he made.
"Lilith," Hunter said with an awkward type of smile.
Lilith glanced at him before blowing a Bubble with the gum she was chewing and said, "what do you want dad?"
"I came to apologize for missing the team get together"
Lilith sighed and said "It's fine, I wasn't expecting you to show anyway, I knew that it was during one of your famous night time activities which puts so much stress on mum that it's making her have silver streaks in her hair"
"your mother is, getting older"
Lilith looked at him and said bluntly "she's 35"
"and I'm 32 what your point Lilith?"
"she's still too young to have grey hairs unless they were caused by stress"
"what I do at night allows us to keep the tower, it allows us to keep the fridge full, it allows us to keep everything we will ever need or want"
Lilith sighed and waved him off.
Hunter rolled his eyes and looked to the blonde boy next to her and said "Hey Carlisle"
Carlisle looked up from the Tameranian notes and said "Hey Hunter"
He saw Lilith grab a glass of red liquid of her bedside and sipped at it.
He looked to the bedside and saw a bottle of red wine.
On the label, it read 'Le vin rouge des Salvatore'
It was French for 'the red wine of the Salvatore'
"are you Drinking Lilith?"
"yep" She responded in an instant popping the p
"where did you get it?"
"Uncle Damon-"
Hunter cut his daughter off by saying "he's not really your uncle"
"Uncle Damon stopped by and brought this especially for me to drink as I saw fit, it's helped with my Cravings for blood"
Hunter smirked and said "be careful on how much you drink sweetheart, I was worse at your age, just don't follow in my footsteps"
Lilith again being the moody teenager she was, she waved him off as she sipped at the glass of wine.
Hunter rolled his eyes and said, "keep an eye on her Carlisle" at the small Blonde's nod Hunter shimmered to the lounge room and saw the other members of the team.
Jaxon and Terra sat on the couch while Terra was cradling a small child in her arms.
Hunter poked his head next to Terra's and looked down at the baby in her arms and said "Who's kid? It can't be yours it doesn't smell anything like you plus it was a miracle you even have Carlisle"
He took a good look at the baby.
It had raven black hair and Green eyes which were defined into sections by black rings for the iris and a dot for a pupil.
Richard and Starfire put their hands up with goofy grins and said "she's ours, we named her Lavender"
Hunter looked at Richard and said, "why Lavender?"
"we'll Starfire's Human name is Koriand'r which is a plant so we both thought to kept the plant style and went with Lavender"
Jinx walked with a Thirteen year old girl by her side.
Hunter bit his lip as his eyes travelled from the pink hair sorceress to the girl by her side.
she had long Raven Black hair with Blood red streaks and soft piercing emerald green eyes, the boy carried the same facial structure and look as Hunter.
If Jinx's Daughter was Hunter's she never said anything to him or Raven in Thirteen years.
Hunter watched Jinx curiously and she met his gaze, but she didn't approach him.
Hunter sighed and walked over to the kitchen where Cyborg was currently Cleaning up.
"how was the get-together?"
"pretty good, Carlisle and Lilith got a little bit closer, everyone met Dick and Kori's child, Jinx Introduced us to her Daughter Cacciatore, however, the only thing we missed was our team leader"
The two men were silent for a moment.
Cyborg looked at Hunter and said, "face the fact's man, Kori and Dick have moved out of the tower, Jaxon and Terra are moving out with Carlisle in the next week" Cyborg sighed and said "Face it, man, the Titans are no more"
Hunter sighed and nodded before shimmering back to his and Raven's room.
He walked over to the bed taking his shirt and Hoodie off before laying down on the bed.
"what's our next move, the Titans are Disbanding"
"we move out of the tower, buy a house closer to the fight club giving me easier access to it, we'll have to make it work"
At that very moment, everything turned red and a buzzing went off.
The Titans were needed once again, for the first time in ten years, the Titans were needed, and the hugely mixed team of adults and Teenagers would be damned to the twelve circles of hell if they ignored that call.
