Hello!

I know no one reviewed, but I want to get this story over with!!! I want to write another story, but it won't work without this one done.

Disclaimer: I only own Manticore.


Raven did tell them what happened because she did get Manticore's memories. She felt really bad that Manticore died to save them. To save her. She felt totally guilty.
The next day, the Titans held a private funeral service. They had already done everything, except put the casket into the hole, when Raven opened the casket and put something in it. It was the box Manticore had given her.

The other Titans knew nothing about that box, except they weren't supposed to touch it. BB learned that the hard way. Raven left it on a table and he nearly opened it. Raven caught him and nearly threw him into orbit. No one went near the box again.

Raven was about to say something when something happened.

Something that looked like black/purple electricity came from the box. It landed on Manticore. The Titans gasped.

Manticore moved.

She sat up and saw that they had been crying. "Why are you crying?"

"We were, not are, and you were dead!" Raven said.

Manticore sighed. "No, I wasn't."

"What?!?!" All the Titans said in unison.

"I wasn't. I was just nearly dead. Trust me, I was alive; I felt pain."

The titans smiled for the first time since Manticore "died". Raven began crying; not from

sadness, but from joy. Raven embraced Manticore and she did the same.


Manticore had to leave a few days later because she was still weak. She had to go to Azarath to see if doctors there could help her.

"Manticore, are you sure that's a good idea?" Raven asked, with a bit of anxiety in her voice.

"Raven," Manticore replied, "You guys can't me as well. Sorry to leave you again, though. I'll be back"

Manticore left after those words. Raven still had the box.


A while later, Slade was sitting in his room when a robot came in. It had a piece of paper jammed into its circuitry in a way that didn't damage it or the paper.

"What is that?" Slade asked as the robot handed it to him then left.

The paper was a handwritten note. It was good handwriting, but the Js and Is had hearts for dots. Slade recognized the handwriting as Starfire's.

The note read:

Dear Slade, whoever you are,

I wish to thank you for accepting Raven's proposal to get the Titans. It is possibly one of the best things that has happened to her.

Thanks to that, Raven and her friend Manticore have had a chance to become better friends. It worked.

So, as my friends would say, "Believe it or not," thank you.

From,

Starfire, the Teen Titan


Slade sat there, dumbfounded. For the first time, The Titans had actually defeated Slade. There was nothing in the world that could restore Slade's pride. He picked up his BO-staff and hurled it into a nearby wall.


HAHAHA! Slade finally got it!

What? You actually thought I would kill off my character? No way! I like her too much (hence my name)!

Well, hope you enjoyed it, 'cuz this is the last chapter.
