Well, here's the second chapter, I hope you guys like it. I'm gonna try my best to pump these chapters out, since my head is full of ideas at the moment. Oh, another note, the character Phobia, is from the New Titans comic books, I don't know if you guys remember her or not, but she was a member of the second Brotherhood of Evil, and then the Society of Sin. I didn't change her powers at all, but I gave her appearance and personality a bit of a tweak. As always, I neither own her, nor do I own any of the titans. Here we go.

The Titans sat around the living room, a bit on edge, until Cyborg and Raven appeared in the stairway, with smiles on their faces.

"FRIEND RAVEN!!!" Starfire cried, "I am so happy to see you! Is all well for you, friend?"

"Sure Star, I'm fine. Thanks. I just needed to get some air for a bit, sorry, I didn't mean to spoil the mood for anyone."

"Nonsense, friend!! No moods have been spoiled, and now that you are present, I can perform my dance of gratitude for you all!"

"Uh...hold on Star. Before you do your gratitude...thing, let me just say something. Star, Robin, I just want you two to know...well, you've been such great friends to me...I just...I'm really..." she felt herself nearly choke on her own words, "happy...for you. For both of you."

Starfire's face lit up like a Christmas tree as she rushed towards Raven and nearly tackled her with an embrace.

"OH, FRIEND RAVEN!" Star exclaimed, "You have filled me with such happiness! My heart has so much more gratitude in it than before, that I-" she stopped all of a sudden, and a wave of sadness washed over her face. "Oh no!" She cried, "My dance of gratitude is no longer acceptable! I have more gratitude now than when I created it, so it cannot truly express the feelings of my heart! I KNOW! I shall create a NEW dance of gratitude!"

The Titans all tried to suppress their groans as Beast Boy slid up next to Raven."

"So, Rae, you, uh...wanna dance?"

"Sorry Beast Boy, I only dance gratitude dances." It took the green teen a few moments to realize that Raven had actually made a joke before he could even speak again.

"Hah..Raven, did you just, haha, was that a JOKE? Hahaha! That was funny!" Raven gave her friend a little smirk as he erupted into laughter.

"Heh..heh..aaah. But seriously, you wanna dance?"

"Sorry B, you know I'm not much of a dancer."

"Yeah, I know. Just figured it couldn't hurt to try, right?"

"Right. So...you want to get some punch instead?"

Before Beast Boy could answer, an emergency alarm went off, and Robin yelled "TITANS! TROUBLE!"

"Someone's breaking into the jewelry stores downtown, and from the looks of things, it's no ordinary burglar."

Cyborg let out a loud groan as he listened to Robin's briefing.

"Man, don't these super-thugs got any sense of courtesy? We're having us a PARTY here!"

The titans raced downtown, but the sight that greeted them was not the most pleasant. The streets were dark, and lit only by the dim streetlights. It was late, nearly midnight, and the grim scene was the complete polar opposite of the atmosphere they had just came from. CRASH All five heads turned immediately to the source of the sound, as they saw a slim, shadowy figure move around inside one of the jewelry stores.

"Titans, Go!" Robin shouted.

They raced into the store, to find a surprising new foe. She was young, maybe just a few years older than the Titans themselves, and she was dressed in green. A skin-tight green and black leotard covered most of the top of her body, while she wore stockings and high-heeled boots below. Like Raven, she too wore a cowl, but hers was jagged, and sinister looking.

"Whoever you are," Robin stated, "the Teen Titans are here to take you down!"

The girl laughed, "Whoever I am?" she mocked, "Foolish Titans, I am Phobia, and I am your worst fears come true!"

"I've had about enough of this corn-ball!" Beast Boy shouted, as he seamlessly transformed into a wolf and ran at Phobia.

She sneered, "Perhaps, you will take me more seriously when you see the full extent of my powers!" and with that, Phobia's eyes lit up and a blinding flash engulfed the store. She laughed a bone-chilling cackle as the Titans were frozen in place. Gathering up her bounty, Phobia took one last look at her foes before fleeing the scene.

"Sweet dreams, my darlings."

Cyborg

"Hurry up, Android! We got a job to do!"

'Huh?' thought Cyborg, 'Who said that? Was that Robin? What did he call me? What's going on here?'

Robin looked annoyed "Android, c'mon!"

"I am NOT Android, I am Cyborg!" Cyborg nearly reeled back from the sound of his own voice. It wasn't his, it was cold, monotone, and almost...mechanical sounding. In fact, it sounded more like Steven Hawkins than his own voice.

Robin raised an eyebrow at his teammate.

"What are you talking about Android? You're not a cyborg. A cyborg is a human/robot hybrid. A robot with the mind of a human, you're an android. Your mind is a computer, and your parts are mechanical. You've been programmed to act and think like a human as much as possible, but all your 'feelings' are simply programs and functions."

Cyborg couldn't believe what he was hearing, his last shreds of humanity were his most valued treasures, how could he not be human?! He wanted to shout at Robin, tell him he was making a mistake. He wanted to cry, to yell, to scream. He wanted to put the wonder boy in his place, and tell him exactly what he was. Tell him he was human. But all that came out was:

"Error. Does not compute."

Beast Boy

'Hey, what gives? Where is everyone?' Beast Boy thought to himself. He looked around the empty room. On the floor were the balloons he blew up himself, and on the walls hung green and white streamers. 'I know they couldn't have forgotten,' he thought 'I just gave them the invites yesterday.' Wondering what happened to his friends, Beast Boy left the living room to search the rest of the tower for the missing Titans. He had searched the entire tower before finally deciding to go downstairs and check the garage. As he got closer, he could hear voices. The voices of his friends.

"Man, this movie is gonna ROCK!" exclaimed Cyborg.

"Definitely," Robin agreed, "I've been looking forward to this one for a while."

Raven looked up at her friends "Uh, you guys don't think Beast Boy found out about this, do you?"

Cyborg sneered, "Pfft. Don't know, don't CARE. All I know is, I'm not gonna be stuck in the tower, for some lame-ass birthday party for that little creep when I could be out seeing the first showing of this movie!"

"I agree," said Starfire, "Beast Boy is annoying and horrid. I do not wish to spend my time with that...phlorphglab."

Robin smirked, "Heh, I don't think you guys need to tell that to Raven, I think Little Green actually has a thing for her."

Raven gave Robin a death glare. "That...is...disgusting. If you ever repeat that Robin, I cannot be responsible for what may happen to you."

"Alright, alright. I guess I just think it's a little sad, you know? I mean, I think that Beast Boy actually thinks we're his friends."

"HAH!", barked Cyborg, "THAT'S a laugh!"

Starfire

Tears welled up in her eyes, as she looked into the deep brown eyes of her lover. No, she had to accept the truth of her harsh reality. Her former lover.

"I'm sorry, Star." Robin apologized, "But you know as well as I do, that this was a mistake."

"No...Robin..."

"Please, Star, be serious about this. We don't belong together. This has to end. I'm sorry, I truly am, but I can't continue to pretend that I have these feelings for you. We don't belong together Star...in fact, I'm beginning to think you don't belong here at all. Go back to Tamaran, Star. You belong there. You'll be happier there."

The words she wished to speak would not come out, nearly blinded by her own tears, all Starfire could do, was to fly away. Fly away into the deep, darkness that was outer space. Fly away and try to forget the greatest heartbreak of her life. Fly away...

Robin

"LET HER GO, SLADE! SHE'S GOT NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS! LET HER GO!"

Slade only laughed, "My dear boy, have you learned nothing? This is about me...and you. And this girl has more to do with you, than anything or anyone else."

"THIS ISN'T FAIR SLADE!" Robin yelled, his eyes stinging from his sweat and tears, "LET HER GO NOW! OR I SWEAR SLADE, I SWEAR...I'LL KILL YOU! I swear..."

Time seemed to nearly come to a stop, as the gunshot rang out in the empty warehouse. The echo of the noise itself seemed to last forever. Even as Slade dropped the limp, blood-soaked corpse from his arms, everything seemed to move in slow motion. Until her body hit the cold, hard floor. Robin sank to his knees, the pain in his heart not even allowing him to shout her name, to say anything...all he could do, was hold his head in his hands, and cry. Cry for his beloved.

Raven

Raven looked around the living room of Titan's Tower. It was ruined. Everything was broken, and soaked with blood. She floated over the lifeless bodies of her fallen comrades as she closed in on her final prey. Her eyes glowed a fierce and fiery red. All four of them.

Locked, inside her own mind, Raven screamed. "NO! PLEASE! PLEASE STOP THIS! YOU CAN'T! I CAN'T! NO!" But there was nothing she could do. The daemon seed of her father Trigon the Terrible had finally broken free of Raven's control, and it was only beginning to have it's fun.

Robin watched Raven as she closed in on him, cornering him. Out of the side of his eye, he saw Beast Boy, impaled. Starfire with her neck twisted at an unnatural and nauseating angle, and Cyborg, in more pieces than Robin could count.

All the while, Raven could do nothing to stop herself. 'Robin!!!' she cried out in thought, 'I'm so sorry! So sorry!!! I...this...this is all my fault, I got too close, let my emotions get too far out of control. Robin...I LOVE YOU! PLEASE!! PLEASE, STOP THIS! YOU CAN'T! NOT ROBIN! PLEASE! Please...'
