Author's Note: Here is the new chapter. Nice and long. Sorry it's been a while since my last post. I've had a lot of homework to do and to top that I had a cist in my lower back to deal with so I couldn't really write. I got it drained by a pediatric surgeon on Thursday so now I'm ok. Another chapter is on it's way. Thank you for being patient everyone! : )

At the tower, Robin was working out in his room, throwing his fist at the punching bag over and over. Just then, Beast Boy entered his room.

"Hey, Rob! The party is starting soon, you gotta get ready!"

Robin stopped punching and looked towards Beast Boy.

"Why? It's only (he checked the clock) 3:30pm."

"But the party starts at 5:00pm, right?"

"Yeah. Beast Boy don't worry, we have plenty of time."

"Ok ok. Wait until you see me later, you'll be blown away."

"Why?"

"You'll see!"

Beast Boy grinned and left the room, leaving Robin by himself. He shrugged and headed over to the weights. He lay down on the board and started lifting weight by weight. He growled under the pressure, but managed to lift. He breathed hard and began sweating each time he lifted weight, heavier than the last. He did this exercise for about 10 minutes and stopped. Robin laid there gasping for oxygen, he wiped away sweat from his forehead. He slowly got up into a sitting position and stood on his feet. He grabbed a near by towel and started walking over into his bathroom. It wasn't glamorous, but it was good enough. Robin flipped the towel over a single rack. He looked into the mirror, staring back at his reflection. His hand reached to his face and took off his black mask. It revealed hazel eyes, brown with a green tint (I don't know Robin's actual eye color so I made it up). The only time he ever took off his mask was when in the bathroom. Nobody knew what was behind the mask, except Robin himself.

He stripped off his costume and cape and stepped into the shower, turning on the water. Warm, wet drops soothed his face and body, washing away the sweat. He bathed for a few more minutes and turned off the water. He stepped out and grabbed the towel and wrapped it around his waist. Robin stepped out of the steaming bathroom and walked towards his dresser. He pulled out a drawer and looked for something to wear for tonight. He pushed over some clothes, trying to decide what to choose. He wasn't exactly good at that. He threw a few pairs of pants and shirts onto his bed. After slipping on boxers, he put on one outfit and looked into a standing, long mirror. The shirt was red orange and had a sunset scene and darkened palm trees. The pants were white and baggy.

"Ick. . ."

He took it off and tried another outfit. He went into the mirror's view. This shirt was slightly baggy and black, and it said "Linkin Park" on it. The pants were slate grey.

"Maybe not. . ."

He took that outfit off and tried on the last one. Robin looked into the mirror once more. The shirt was a black and white baseball t-shirt, long sleeved. It fit quite well on him. The pants were dark navy blue jeans with a silver chain hanging on one side. He turned around, and looked at this outfit for a minute. He then nodded.

"This is good."

Robin went back into the bathroom and brushed his teeth. He sprayed on a little bit of PoloBlue cologne. Next he took out some hair gel and spiked his hair. Last but not least, his mask. He walked out and grabbed his utility belt and slipped it on his waist, just in case of an emergency. His shirt was long enough to cover the belt. Robin left his room and walked down the faded halls. He entered the living room where he found Cyborg fixing his red and gold striped tie. He saw Robin in the mirror's reflection.

"Lookin' sharp there, Rob," said Cyborg.

"Thanks. Nice tie."

"It's cool, ain't it? So, you gonna try and catch some girl's eye?" he joked.

Robin blushed slightly.

"No no, not really."

"Yeah right, I know there's some chick you're lookin' out for."

Robin ignored the last sentence and flopped down onto the couch.

"Yo, dudes!"

Cyborg and Robin turned their heads over to where the call came from. It was Beast Boy in a white disco outfit and purple silk shirt, with a pointed collar and 2 buttons open. He made a striking pose and began singing and dancing for fun.

"Ah Ah Ah Ah, Stayin' Alive, Stayin' Alive, Ah Ah Ah Ah, Stayin' Aliiii- iiii-iiii-iiive."

Cyborg fell over laughing and rolling on the floor while Robin laughed hard and fell off the couch, still laughing.

"Ah, you guys are just jealous of my disco fever."

"Ha ha ha! Yeah, ok," said Cyborg, in between laughs.

As the two calmed down, Beast Boy walked to the mirror and brushed his hair back. He smiled and winked back at his reflection. Just then a dark blur ran through the halls.

"Hey what was that?"

Both Cyborg and Robin shrugged.

-------------------------------------

Raven made it to the tower ok. She floated by quickly so no one would see her "make-over". She passed by the living room, hoping the boys didn't catch a glimpse of her. Raven stopped at her door, went in the room, and slammed the door shut. She walked to her bathroom and looked into the mirror. The reflection did show herself, but yet it wasn't her. She ripped off the fake piercing ring on her lip, removed the dark make-up, and brushed down her hair. The old Raven look was back. She decided to take a shower and removed her clothes. Then, she stepped into the shower. Raven turned the knob and warm water came shooting out onto her head. The water felt cooling as it washed away the hair spray liquid and the remaining make- up paint. She cleansed herself of them. She carefully shampooed her hair and rinsed off. Raven stepped out and quickly grabbed a robe, putting it on to cover herself and to keep warm. She once again gazed into the mirror over the sink. Her violet hair matted down onto her head. Her pale moon skin glistening in the light. She rubbed her eyes and walked out. She opened the closet door and stared at the clothes hanging on separate hangers. Nothing caught her eye. Nothing seemed to shout out.

"Nothing suits me. . ."

She stood there for a few minutes, trying to think. Then an idea hit her, her eyes widening with inspiration.

"Maybe. .I can make it."

Quickly as she could, Raven took everything out. Clothes of different styles and materials thrown onto the floor. She then went over to her desk, pulled out a drawer, and took out scissors, a needle, and threads. She ran over to the piles of clothes and started cutting out pieces and chunks of materials. She took out a black velvet scarf and started cutting out a long strip of the material. She pulled out one dress and started cutting off the sleeves. Raven cut almost everything and sowed them together in patterns. Just then, there was a knock on her door.

"Hey Raven!" yelled Beast Boy," Wanna check out my suit? It's cool!"

"Go away, I'm busy! Come back later."

"Oh, ok. . ." said Beast Boy with disappointment.

Raven went back to work on her outfit. Patience and creativity were put into the designing.

------------------------------

Robin, Cyborg, Starfire, and Beast Boy arrived at the Sundance Club. It was crowded with people, mostly teens, dancing in the colorful lights roaming the atmosphere. A band was playing on stage. Tables were set far from the dance floor, few people were sitting down drinking soda. Starfire's green eyes lit up with amazement as she saw all of the room.

"This. .has got to be the most wonderful thing about earth!" she exclaimed.

"And junk food!" grinned Cyborg.

"C'mon guys, let's hit the dance floor," said Beast Boy, flipping up his purple silk collar.

Starfire continued staring in amazement, like a child in a candy store. She was wearing a lavender dress with thin straps on her shoulders, a necklace with a purple heart charm, and lavender sandles. Her lips were painted light pink and eyelids brushed with lavender shadow. Robin waved a hand infront of her face, checking if she was still 'on earth.'

"Starfire. .Hello?"

"Oh! I am sorry, Robin. I was just amazed at how this place was set up. I shall come here more often!"

"That's good, now c'mon let's get a table."

Robin went in search for a table with Starfire following behind him like a puppy dog. He stopped at one table where Cyborg was sitting. He sat down on one seat while Starfire glided towards the dance floor.

"This was a good choice, Rob. I like it here," complimented Cyborg.

"Thanks! I read an article on it and it got good reviews so I thought we check it out."

Cyborg sat there, listening to music. At the door, something caught his attention in seconds.

"Whoa. . ."

"What is it?"

"Look."

Cyborg pointed to the doorway where a girl stood alone. Her short hair flowing in the wind. Her dress was black silk and velvet material, and stopped at her knees. The dress had two thin straps on each shoulder. On her right wrist, a thick, black beaded bracelet was placed. Clinging to her neck, a thick black velvet choker was wrapped, with vine-like designs. At the bottom of her dress there were the same vine designs to be shown. She had no make-up on her face. She didn't need it.

Robin stared, his jaw falling to the floor in shock.

"R-. .Raven?"

"Hey, I didn't think she'd show up."

Robin brought his jaw back up from the floor and continued staring.

"She's looks pretty good. ."

"You right. .Rob. .Rob?. .Yo!"

"Huh?"

"You were drooling," said Cyborg, chuckling under his breath.

"Oh. .Heh. .My bad," said Robin as he slightly turned red.

Raven was alone at the door. She was looking around the room, this place was not familiar to her. 'Where's Robin?' She looked around and spotted Robin and Cyborg sitting at a table. She slowly walked over, trying to pass through dancing bodies. 'Idiots..' She stepped up to the table and greeted the two.

"Hey."

"Hey Raven, glad you made it," said Cyborg cheerfully.

"Hey. You look nice, "Robin complimented.

Raven slightly reddened in the face at that comment.

"Uh, thanks."

Starfire came running to the table shouting and waving her arms.

"Look! Come and look at Beast Boy! He is entertaining the crowd!"

The gang looked over and saw the people moving to the sides of the dance floor. Just then the band began playing the funk song "Boogie Fever". Beast Boy, in his disco suit, stepped up, walking on the lit up floor. He had a straight face on and his hand pointed to a high angle. He walked forward in rhythm to the beat. He started to break dance on his head, spinning and spinning, then flopping on the floor. The crowd cheered. He then jumped and landed on his knees, and jumping back up all in one motion. He rose up and started doing the moonwalk. The crowd cheered more and more. The gang was laughing and cheering.

"Whoa! Where the hell did he learn that?!" exclaimed Cyborg.

"Wonderful wonderful!" cheered Starfire, clapping with all her might.

Beast Boy did one last spin and bowed down to the audience, grinning like an idiot. The lead guitarist on stage tuned up his guitar and whispered to his band mates exactly what to play next. They nodded and began playing a soft tune. Each person found a partner to dance with. Beast Boy walked up to Starfire and held out his hand.

"May I have this dance, Senorita?" he asked in a rich voice.

"Yes you may. But what does Sen-nor-rituh mean?"

"Nevermind."

Beast Boy led Starfire to the dance floor and they began to slow dance. Robin chuckled at the sight of Beast Boy stepping on Starfire's feet by accident ( "Ow!" "Sorry, Star!"). He turned his head and saw Raven with her hands on her lap, staring blankly at the dance floor. 'It's Raven's first time here. She should have fun. I think I'll ask her to dance,' Robin thought. He stood up from his chair and approached Raven with a warm smile. Raven looked up at him with a "What is it?" look.

"Hey Raven, do you wanna dance with me?" he asked.

"Huh?"

"I said 'Do you wanna dance with me'."

"Oh. .uh. .I. .don't think I can."

"How come?"

"I. .Well. .Idon'tknowhowtodance," she said in a mumble.

"You what?"

Raven sighed and spoke louder.

"I don't know how to dance."

"That's all? I could teach you, it's easy. C'mon," said Robin as he took her by the hand.

Cyborg looked around the deserted table.

"Yo. .I'm outta girls here."

Giggling could be heard from behind. He turned around and spotted a girl with long green hair and blue eyes, smiling at him. Cyborg grinned. He fixed his tie and got up to ask the girl to dance. Robin had taken Raven to the dance floor that had soft blue lights slowly swarming the floor. They stopped and stood face to face.

"Ok, first, take this hand (he lightly took her right hand) and put it on my shoulder. Then, I hold your other hand in mine. Now, my free hand goes on your waist (Raven glared at him), don't worry I won't do anything. And all you have to do is follow my lead."

Robin moved back and to the left, Raven following his footsteps carefully.

He moved back and forth while she tried to keep up. After a few times, Raven began to relax.

"It's not so bad, right?"

"Yeah, I guess."

Robin held Raven gently, leading her. 'This is nice. .' thought Raven. 'It seems better than waving your arms and moving your body around like you're on fire.' Robin was about a head taller than Raven, so she was gazing at his collar bone, lost in her thoughts. Robin decided to break the silence with a conversation.

"So. .What do you think about this place?"

"It's. .It's ok. Not as bad as that last one we went to when that psycho- bitch was on the loose."

Robin chuckled. "You mean Blackfire?"

"Yeah."

The soft music enchanted their ears. A saxophone lightly played. The piano took lead with velvet tunes. Raven was lost in a dream, lost in Robin's touch. For once, she enjoyed something.

"I never want this to end," she whispered.

"What?"

"Nothing. ."

Unfortunately, her dream was ended as the song came to a finale. Back to reality. Raven slowly let of Robin's shoulder as he let go of her waist. Their hands were still holding though. A sign of comfort. She looked up at him. He looked down at her.

"Uh. ." said Robin, as he blushed and took away his hand.

Raven rubbed her arm bashfully, trying to get the courage to say something.

"Thanks for the dance. .Robin."

"You're welcome."

The stage band had left for backstage and quickly discussed the next song.

"Ok, man, we already did a slow song, now we need something hot."

"Like what?"

"Well..Hmm."

"How about 'Say Goodnight, Losers'."

"Now what kind of song is-"

Smack! The guitarist was knocked out by a huge beast.

"Good job, Mammoth, that shut him up," said a small boy with gadgets.

The band all began to cower away in fear.

"Who-Who the hell are you?!"

"Your worst nightmare," whispered a pink-haired girl, in a haunting voice.

The band screamed in horror as she stepped out of the shadows. She evilly grinned. Using her bad-luck spells, a huge sandbag dropped from the ceiling and onto them, knocking them unconscious.

"That'll keep them quiet," said Jynx.

"Great, I was getting a headache from all that screaming," said Mammoth, uncovering his ears.

"Don't just stand there! The guests are waiting for the party to get started," said Gizmo with a sly tone.

The H.I.V.E. team walked onto the exposed stage. Whispers from the crowd could be heard.

"Where's the other band?"

"Who are they?"

The Titans looked towards the stage with alarmed looks.

"What the hell are they doing here?" asked Robin.

Jynx stepped up to the microphone, staring menacingly at the crowd.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the party has been canceled. . .Due to a little bad luck!"

Jynx controlled chairs and tables to fly across the room, knocking over people and damaging the club. Gizmo activated his mechanical spider legs and roamed over the screaming crowd.

"You worthless fools are scared so easily," he said, laughing heartedly.

"Titans! Go!" yelled Robin, signaling the team to prepare to fight.

"So, you losers came back to play, huh?" said Mammoth.

"Yeah, how about we play 'Catch the Sonic Boom'," said Cyborg, as he and Robin performed their Sonic Boom attack. Mammoth was blown back and through a wall, landing outside. Meanwhile, Beast Boy was handling Gizmo.

"Face it, you smelly ape! You can't beat a genius like me!" yelled Gizmo.

"So, I'm a smelly ape, huh?"

Beast Boy transformed into a large gorilla and took hold of one of the spider legs. He swung Gizmo around in a circle and let go, causing him to fly into the bar. Beast Boy looked down at his disco suit, ripped in places and smudged.

"Damn! This was my favorite suit."

Starfire and Raven fought off Jynx's bad luck spells.

"You brafahhagen biach! How dare you disturb this wonderful event! Haaaaa!!!!" yelled Starfire as she sent star lights from her hands shooting down towards Jynx. Jynx swiftly dodged these lights and started laughing.

"That was too easy! And I think you need to learn better names."

"I think 'biach' fits you quite well," said Raven from behind. Her dark powers controlled a table and slammed it into Jynx before she could turn around. Jynx rose from the floor, wiping blood away from her mouth.

"So, you like playing dirty. I can play dirty," said Jynx, as she ran forward and threw a punch at Raven. Raven easily blocked the blow and kicked her in the stomach. Jynx gasped for air.

"You've been training, but you still fight like a boy."

Jynx knocked Raven down to the floor attacking her. Starfire squeeled and shot star lights at Jynx, causing her to fly off to the side.

"Thanks, Starfire," said Raven.

"You are welcome, Raven!"

The battles went on and people ran out in swarms screaming at the top of their lungs. The club's wall were torn down and damaged. The stage destroyed. Table and chairs now specks and chunks of wood lying around the floor. Eventually the fights were taken outside on the streets, leading to the bridge. Cyborg blasted a power ball at Gizmo. Unfortunately, he missed and instead it hit Beast Boy.

"Argh! Cyborg!! I'm not the enemy!"

"Sorry about that!"

Gizmo chuckled at their little "accident".

"Ha ha! Nice aiming, Tin Man!"

"Ah, shut up, midget!" yelled Cyborg as he aimed and shot another power ball, this time hitting Gizmo off the street and onto the bridge.

"That'll teach ya not to laugh at me," he said while grinning.

Meanwhile on the bridge, Robin and Starfire tried to fight off Mammoth. He smashed his mighty fists down onto the bridge, causing the road to crack in lightning shaped patterns. Starfire flew up from the road to avoid the rumble. Robin leaped forward towards Mammoth and lunged a kick in his face. Mammoth yelled out in pain and cursed at Robin.

"Damn you, kid! Now you're gonna get it!"

"Come and get me, hairy-ass!"

Mammoth battle-roared and ran towards Robin at high speed, ready to annihilate him.

"Starfire! Now!"

"As you wish, Robin!"

Starfire quickly charged up her star lights and shot them all at Mammoth from behind. The power caused him to fly forward, off the bridge, and into the sea.

"Good job there," said Robin.

"Thank you ever so much Robin!" grinned Starfire.

Last but not least, Raven took care of Jynx and her spells onto of one of the bridge pillars.

"Why don't you quit while you're ahead, Goth Girl!"

"Is that the best threat you can come up with?"

Raven swung her fists at Jynx, while she blocked her blows. Raven noticed this wasn't working so she swiftly pushed her hand right up Jynx's nose, causing it to break.

"Aah! My nose! Oh!" Jynx yelled out in pain.

"You are pathetic, you know that?" said Raven.

Jynx let go of her nose, blood dripping down. She evilly glared at Raven. She yelled in rage tackling Raven to the floor. They fought off each other, punching, kicking, and biting. Raven managed to kick Jynx in the stomach, causing her to fly off and down near the edge of the pillar. She didn't move at all.

"She looks paralyzed," said Raven to herself.

From down on the road, the Titans joined up, with their battles done with. Cyborg carried a knocked-out Gizmo, Beast Boy following behind. Mammoth was nowhere to be seen, for he had swam away in cowardice way. Starfire and Beast Boy went off to fetch the police while Robin and Cyborg stayed behind waiting for Raven. Robin looked up and called out to Raven.

"Hey Raven! Did you get her good?!"

"I think so!" replied Raven.

Robin smiled. Raven half-smiled at him. He then looked at Cyborg who began speaking to him about how his fight was. Raven looked back at Jynx who still wasn't moving. Little did she know, Jynx was still conscious. She had her eyes slightly open, trying to control a nearby street lamp post off the concrete. It began to float mid-air and up towards the pillar. Raven slowly walked up to Jynx, thinking she's out cold. She stared down at her coldly. Unfortunately, the post was floating closer and closer towards Raven from behind. Jynx started to move and opened her eyes all the way.

"You know. . .All you Titans are alike. . .But what makes you stand out. .Is how easily you are fooled!"

Jynx quickly controlled the post with her hand and telekinetically swung it on the side of Raven's head. She felt instant pain. Slowly everything became blurry as she fell off the pillar, falling down. She heard someone call out her name before she hit the water. She slowly sunk down, the blue waters surrounding her body. Her sight began to fail her. Everything was quiet. Everything was dark and isolating. The icey water stung her skin. The pain on the side of her head was numb. 'It's all over for me. .' she weakly thought. Darkness consumed her slowly, more and more. Before she sunk any lower she felt two strong hands pull her upward. She was being held and pulled up towards the surface quickly. Before she knew it, she was back out the surface. Raven coughed up water violently as she was being held up. She heard more yelling, but couldn't focus on what was being said. She felt whoever's grip on her tighten as she felt she was being pulled up and up. Raven finally felt concrete as several police officers helped her up. She coughed up more water as she tried to breathe. Her vision sharpened a little as she saw her rescuer's face. Robin.

"Raven. .You'll be ok. We'll get you home," he whispered.

She mentally nodded. Her eyes slowly closed. She went into a deep sleep on the concrete. Noise and visions blocked out. Shut down for now.
