Hello ppl!

Sorry for the really long wait. I think that's the longest one yet! Anyways, I have some replying to do:

Wysteria Fox: Glad you liked the Jinx/Anger thing, even though I didn't mean it as a joke (kind of like the Cyborg tools/repair shop thing). I accept your apology, but I don't think you had to. I do that too sometimes. BTW, the review for The Wedding Café was short 'cuz I was short on time and I'm not the best reviewer in the world.

Dan Heron: I see you liked the Jinx/Anger thing, too.

On with the story!

Disclaimer: I only own Manticore.


Cyborg checked Manticore's pulse. "I'm sorry to say it," he said, "but she's dead."

"Dead?!?!" All the Titans other then Raven said.

Raven said, "Cyborg (light bulb explodes), this had better not be (TV explodes) a joke!"

Raven picked up the couch with her powers and crush him flatter then a pancake when he said, "It's no joke, really!" That's why she dropped the couch and stepped back.

She sat in a corner and began to cry. When half of the pans blew up, BB said, "Raven, stop! You need to calm down!"

Raven nodded weakly and went to her room to meditate.


When Raven was inside her mind (guess she can't be out of her mind when she meditates ), the first person she saw was Deception. She saw the others, too. They all had tears running down their cheeks. They all knew about Manticore.

Deception said, "Raven, I have something from you. Manticore's last request---she told me mentally when she was joined up with us---was for you to get this and read it aloud to the Titans if she died." She handed Raven a piece of paper.

It was in Deception's handwriting, but from the way it was written (and the fact that not even Deception would lie about this) that it was Manticore that came up with this. She nodded and stopped meditating.


Raven walked into the room holding a piece of paper. From the tears still flowing from her eyes, the other Titans knew that she was still upset about Manticore. She said, "Guys, this is a letter from Manticore. She wanted me to read this to you.

They nodded as Raven began.
Manticore's letter

Dear Titans,

If you're reading this, then that probably means I'm dead. Well, I want to say a few last things.

First of all, I don't want you to sulk about this for the rest of you lives. I don't want you to ruin your lives over me.

Second, I want you to forgive me for turning you over to Slade. If there was one thing I could do over, it would be that. I'm so sorry.

Third, I want Raven to tell you what happened if she has my memories. I have hers, so now I now everything about the Titans.

I want each of you to read your section of the letter by yourself. You can tell the others about your part if you want.

Cyborg: I forgive you for accusing me if you think that I haven't. Maybe from now on you'll get fact before you accuse.

Starfire: Star, I didn't get to meet you properly, but I want to say that, from Raven's memories, you've got to be one of the nicest people around. Watch your back, okay? I wouldn't want you to get kidnapped again!

Robin: You're a great leader. Keep the other Titans safe, all right?

Beast Boy: You're a great guy. Not counting Star, who wasn't there, you were the only one that trusted me. Don't get into trouble, okay?

Raven: Raven, you're the best. You always protected me in school and everything. I forgive you for accusing me and for attacking me (hey, you couldn't help it). Raven, I want you to be happy. At least, don't be sad about me for the rest of your life.

Goodbye, and good luck!

From,

Manticore

The Titans sat there, feeling many emotions all at once. Shock, Manticore was really gone, anger, that Manticore had to die, sadness, that she was gone, regret, that they couldn't have helped her. Raven ran to her room, crying.
Poor Titans! What will they do now? BTW, there will be a twist in the next chapter, so please review!
