Chapter 5

A Secret Revealed

"What's going on Charles?" the black security guard in an all black suit and a ear microphone in his ear, who was apparently named Charles, replied "We found some hoodlum tryin' to sneak in, key word trying, Miss" "I'll be right there Charles, hold on" the club owner said as she turned off the television and headed for the door, putting down the pool stick "I'll be back in a second guys" Raven said before she left, not even waiting for a reply. Raven went through her office, and down the hall, then headed down the staircase, then through the door, then past the dance floor and to the 'silent' room.

Raven entered the 'silent' room, which was beyond the janitors room, it was a padded room with a window on the opposite end from the door was, it was a one way window, 4 guards were in front of a table, their muscular bodies blocking the person that was sitting there, but she could see the feet of the person, they obviously had baggy Echo jeans on and all white Air Force 1s. Charles was standing on the side, he came up to Raven and said "He was trying to sneak through the secondary vent to drop these" he held up a see through bag with 20 different round small objects with a single wire sticking out of all of them, all the wires were tied up into a single one. "5 paint bombs, 5 smoke bombs, and 10 special blended bombs of his own, apparently" Raven just rolled her eyes, knowing how the perpetrator was.

"Beastboy, when will you ever learn?' Raven said as the guards moved away as she approached the rectangular table that, from where she was sitting, which was opposite from Beastboy, she was sitting on the long end. "Raven!? What are you doin' here? Did you try to sneak in too?" asked dumbfounded BB, Raven just rolled her eyes and said sarcastically in a monotone voice, "Yes, Beastboy, I decided to follow in your enlightened footsteps and tried to sneak into a club to drop those vile round contraptions you call 'bombs'" "Really? Cool!" "It's called sarcasm you dunce! She owns this club!" Charles said with annoyance. "Oh...wait a sec! You own this club? How come you didn't tell us about it?" asked a astonished green animal changeling, "Well, because me and Terra..." but the Goth girl was cut off by the stunned Beastboy "Wait, Terra owns it too?" "Yes, so, as I was saying me and Terra didn't tell anyone because..." but the enchantress of mysterious dark powers was once again interrupted "We thought it was in best interest that we kept it confidential, so no one would think they could get away with anything in our club, like you just tried to do BB" said the blonde haired Titan.

"Why do you two keep interrupting me?" Raven glared at them with annoyance, "Sorry" said Beastboy and Terra simultaneity, Raven just sighed, "Where are the others BB?" "Well, Robin's no where to be found, me and Cyborg decided to go to this other club, Hot Spot, along with Starfire, and I lost a bet to Cyborg, an I had to sneak in here and then drop some bombs" confused the animal shapshifter. Raven rolled her eyes while Terra giggled. 'So, where's Robin?' thought Raven, "Hey, Charles, BB's free to go, k?" Terra said "Yes, mam" "Come on BB, lets go dance" this made BB perk up and leap out of his chair, in a matter of seconds him and Terra were on the dance floor. Raven just sighed, "I'll see you later Charles" said Raven as she walked back to her office.

When Raven got back to her office her friends were gone, and there was a note on the pool table, she picked it up, it read: 'Dear Raven and Terra, you guys left and took so long that we decided to go home because we got a call saying there was some sort of trouble at the apartment we share, see ya, X, Ice, Iris. 'Great,' she thought 'now there's nothing to do, might as well get a drink...' she thought. The Goth beauty turned around and went down stairs and walked by the side of to dance floor and went to the circular bar in the middle of the dance floor. She looked around and spotted someone, 'Interesting...' she thought.

The 16 year old with violet hair walked over to the 5th seat from middle, there was a young man there, he had dark blue jeans, black timberlands, a white shirt under a black one, he had spiky jet black hair, and hazel eyes. It was Robin. He didn't have his mask on. She leaned against the bar counter next to Robin's seat, the bar tender came up to Raven. He had blonde hair that was in a crew cut, 3 on top and 2 on the sides and a goatee, he had black pants and black dress shoes, he wore a dress shirt that had several buttons unbuttoned to expose some of his muscular chest and had his sleeves rolled up. He smiled at Raven he had quite a few dimples, "'Ello Raven love, whatcha' want to drink tonight?" he asked her with a British accent, he leaned on his side of the counter. "Give me a shot of Scotch James," she said, she sat next to Robin, she knew it was he; James gave her a bottle of Scotch and a shot glass, knowing she'd like more than one because she looked a bit stressed.

She looked over at Robin, she saw he had an Irish Whiskey bottle and a shot glass, he wore a frown on his face, Robin filled his shot glass and raised it to her's, "Cheers" he said, Robin didn't even look at her, he raised his glass "To what?" asked the club owner as she raised her glass to his "To love and how it really, really sucks" they clicked their glasses together, "Cheers...Robin" she said in her monotone voice. Robin's hazel orbs widened immensely, he slowly turned his head to Raven, "um...hi Raven, w-what a-a-are you d-doing here?" "I don't know, its just that me and Terra happened to own this club, so I kind of decided to swing by here for no apparent reason" her voice filled with sarcasm.

Robin was totally shocked at this turn of events, he quickly put on a pair of black sunglasses, Raven looked at him oddly, "Where's your mask?" she asked cocking a brow at him, he sighed and drank a shot "my pocket" he said, he sighed, not reaching for it. "So, why does love suck?" "Long story" "lots of time" Robin lowered his head and mumbled something. "What's that? Starfire has a boyfriend? She doesn't have feelings for you?" she said teasingly, "It's not funny, and that's not what I said, its none of you business" he glared at her. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have" Robin just drank another shot; they both had half a bottle by now.

After an hour or so they were both finished three bottles, they were in the parking lot. They were laughing at what Raven had said "T-Then BB thinks he can drop a crap load of smoke bombs and paint bombs in MY club, Charles was about to kick the shit out of him!" they laughed then Robin turned to her "Excuse me young lady? Shit? Watch your mouth!" he said in a parental tone, Raven looked at him oddly, almost seductively, and said "What are you going to do about it?" she said cocking a brow, they were both standing in front of each other his 6'0 form to her 5'9 form, Robin smirked "This..." he said leaning in.

'BEEP, BEEP, BEEP!' went the digital clock's red numbers turned from '5:59' to '6:00', Raven woke up on her office couch with a fold out bed facing the window wall, her head was pounding, she had had a cover over her. The Goth Mistress tried to get up from the fold out bed but seemed to be anchored down to the bed by the waist, she quickly turned her head behind her and found Robin, her eyes widened. 'Oh Gods...' she thought to herself, they obviously didn't favor her last night or this morning. She quickly looked under the dark blue covers, pajamas, 'Thank you! Cloths!' they didn't do anything hopefully.

Robin wearily woke up and looked at Raven looking under the covers, "Something wrong Rae?" he asked looking at her, she literally jumped out of bed and looked at Robin "Oh God, you scared me!" she exclaimed. Robin cocked a brow at her, "You gonna answer my question?" she slightly blushed, the pool sticks shook slightly "Did anything...happen...last night?" the sticks shook a bit more violently, Robin chuckled. "What do you mean by anything?" Raven must have been turning twelve shades of red and pink because Robin was trying to hold back his laughter. The sticks were slightly floating now but still shaking all the while, Raven summed up all her courage and took a deep breathe "Did we have sex or have sexual activity?" she asked, the sticks flew by them and crashed into the TV, the burst to oblivion while the TV turned to ashes.

Robin burst into insane laughter at this, he was purple by the time he had gathered himself, he was out of breathe but at least his face turned to normal color. "No, No, No, we just kissed for a while and you smiled at me and passed out, then blew up like 16 street lights, this guy named Charles, your apparent bodyguard came and told me we could sleep in your office lounge, and if I tried anything he'd break every bone in my body, let me recover, and do it again, and repeat this process several times until I killed myself, but he'd make sure the only possible suicide would be the longest most painful and in front of all my enemies while they laughed at me."

Raven rolled her eyes, Charles was just as over protective of her as Cyborg was, they'd probably kill each other deciding who'd get to save her life first, "So...what now?" she asked, blushing a bit again, Robin smirked and got up and walked up to her, he cupped his hand in her chin and lifted her head slowly to him. He smiled, she stared at his hazel orbs, he moved in closer, she blushed more furiously, while his hands slipped around her waist slowly. he pulled her in and they both leaned in slowly and their lips connected.

A passionate tender warm loving kiss, 'She taste like spicy peppers, no sweet honey nut, no...hell she just taste like everything that I have ever considered good tasting, sounds a little corny, but who cares?' Robin thought, meanwhile, in Raven's head 'this is amazing! He's so tender, so good tasting, so...everything, I wish I could feel like this all the time!' Meanwhile the couch's pillows exploded, the padding flew out as if a jet rocked was attached to it and the pool table dismantled itself.

They broke the passionate sign of love partly because they almost suffocated and partly because pool balls were in orbit around them and thing were blowing up, and once they noticed this, everything that was floating fell, and everything that was blowing up stopped. Raven smiled, "That was...in-incredible" just then their communicators went off, Robin answered it "What's the situation?" he asked as Cyborg appeared on the screen, he had his night vision glasses on and his helmet, he held his gun in the air to his side, "We got a problem, enemy HIVE location, Warehouse 12 on 100 Club Harbor, they want two billion dollars in an hour and a half or they'll blow up twenty city blocks in down town, our guess is they're bluffing and if they aren't its only three to five, but that doesn't matter" Robin nodded "Raven and I will be there in a second" he nodded, Robin put it away.

"Damn we don't have and gear!" exclaimed an aggravated Robin, "Hey, I keep copies of all our gear here, just in case, watch..." Ravens cleared her voice and said something foreign and where the TV once was there was the swat uniforms because the TV was on a swerving part of the floor. Robin was amazed but shook it off quickly, he took his and she took hers, Robin looked around to see if there was a bathroom there or not, he turned to her. "Raven, where are we supposed to change?" he cocked a brow, she said another thing foreign and curtain opened from the walls and divided the room, saying Robin was amazed again was an understatement. They quickly changed and grabbed their guns and electronic swords and left, Raven lead him to a basement garage were there was an all black Ford Explorer, the paint job, the rims, the grill and she even put black front and tail light caps on them, it was so black that Robin wondered if that was a shadow of the car or it itself. Raven drove since she knew this part of the tunnel.

'The Tunnel' is an underground route that the Titans, FBI, CIA, and LAPD built and use to avoid traffic and locations of vehicles. It has exits to all parts of the city and is approximately ten feet under ground with air circulators. That's why taxes are so high, but they do raise it a little bit more than its supposed to be because of rich fat cats.

Raven took some sharp turns around corners, but they got there all right, she drove out of the exit located in a high grass field by the warehouse, they drove up to the van and got out. Raven and Robin walked over to Star, Terra, Cy, and BB all standing over a table, they got on their helmets and night vision goggles. They made room for the both of them and Cyborg filled them in, "They have cloaked themselves so we can't sense were they are in heat vision and night vision, we'll have to go in blind, there are five entrances, an underground one, Beastboy that's you" BB nodded at him, he nodded back and continued while BB headed into his entrance in the form of a mole, "Starfire, you'll have to go through the smokestacks" "I'm on it" Star's eyes light up as she flew to them and headed down one upside down and waited for the signal to attack, Cyborg looked at Raven "You go through the fan vents, they haven't been working for over two decades they are a few yards off the smokestacks on the side of the building" Raven teleported and looked at Terra, "You'll be out by those windows looking for anything suspicious, ok?" Terra nodded. Cyborg sighed "Robin, you have to go through water filtration engine room, I'm too big for it" he sighed again, he hated being left out of the action, no so much as not thrill, its that he gets worried about the others. Robin smirked and pointed to a basement room on the map, "Big enough for you?" he asked as he smirked and cocked a brow, Cyborg slightly smiled "Thanks bro" he said, the put the fist together and headed for their stations of entrance.

Inside Jinx, Mammoth, Gizmo, and Cinderblock where in an isolated titanium control room surrounded with empty crates which really where just big video cameras with lots of special features looking at their surroundings on watch for the teen titans. "Those little ass wipes will pay" cursed Jinx, Mammoth and Cinderblock stared in awe at the fancy shiny things, while Gizmo looked around the screens seeing all the Titans enter except Beastboy who figured out what they had down my turning into a fly and observing them, he flew back under the floor boards and into the large hole her had dug. He started speaking into his headset. "Update, I repeat the awesome cool guy has update!" Raven rolled her eyes as she walked through the tunnel leading to the fan vent, Cyborg sighed "What is it BB?" "Transferring visuals, you guys see that stack of crates? Well it's a covering for a titanium base that the HIVE is in" Robin nodded "That's why we couldn't get any visuals" Raven thought for a moment "What if they can see us? How are we supposed to attack?" "Leave it to me, on my signal attack" said BB "Gotcha" the others said in unison.

The HIVE could hear all the transmissions except BB's "What's going on? What are they doing?" asked Gizmo in frantic as he assumed they had a plan of attack, Jinx leaned against the control panel looking at the screens, "No, a better question, what aren't they doing?" she said cocking a brow. Mammoth and Cinderblock were arm wrestling. Just the a small hole was drilled in the floor and BB jumped through and transformed into a T-Rex, tearing apart the whole interior because of his enormous size then transformed into a bat and flew off into the darkness.

The HIVE quickly picked up their automatics and shot where they knew the others were, except BB, but they were enshrouded in darkness, so they could be anywhere. Starfire flew into the room from the smokestacks and shot down Mammoth and Cinderblock with electric bullets and they were trapped and she flew back up. Cyborg slightly opened a lid on the floor leading to the basement and shot Gizmo and trapped him.

Raven had moved to the ceiling supporting beams and took a shot at Jinx, she stopped the bullets and crushed her gun with powers, and Raven did the same to her's. Raven flipped down and landed in a crouched position and leaped up into the air and levitated while attacking Jinx with various objects. Jinx smirked; she exploded them while rebuilding her gun out of the shards of both of their guns. Raven had saw it and exploded it in front of her sending her flying back, Jinx was pretending to be knocked out. Raven walked over there to put her in a trap box but Jinx popped up and stuck an army knife right into her side.

Raven gasped, the pain consumed her body like a mighty flood consuming a small village along the shores of an island. Jinx smirked manically at her pain, she slowly removed the knife, and she wanted to enjoy this. No one noticed this because they were busy dealing with Cinderblock, Mammoth, and Gizmo who had broken out and opened fire on them, Robin was no were in sight because he just got done dealing with a load of Slade Robots in the engine room. Raven fell to her knees in front of Jinx as the knife exited her side, blackness spread over her like a candlelight slowly burning out.

Robin had just slipped through the door of the engine room to were his teammates where, he saw his surroundings, Starfire was ok and was in a secure place, those smokestacks really held up well, BB had a good angle so that it was hard to tell where he was and where his bullets came from. Robin knew because of his location scanner, He saw Terra shooting from window to window trying to get good angles, Cyborg had set himself up with a base consisting of big iron casts with gaps in some places so he could shoot at them, and Raven was lying on the floor unconscious with Jinx pointing a hand gun at her head.

Robin's body was overflowed with anger, he immediately shoot Jinx, who was about twenty/twenty-five feet away from him, Robin's accuracy and timing was absolutely amazing the bullet contacted with her arm the second she pulled the trigger so that the shoot was diverted from Raven to the floor and the electronic bullet had encaged her. He then took out several smoke bombs, light them and through them at the others as he ran to Raven to help her.

"Guys, turn on the smoke vision on your goggles, Raven's been injured, you guys finished them off, I already got Jinx. All of their eyes widened at Robin's message, especially Cyborg's, they all shoot them down and encaged them, but first they had to change bullets for a stronger electric bars because of Mammoth's and Cinderblock's size of body and Gizmo's size of mind. Meanwhile Robin had switched to the emergency broadcast and reported "Officer Raven down, I repeat officer Raven down, injury lift side, about half an inch from the stomach, missed all vital organs, injury inflicted with a three inch dagger, army type, officer is unconscious, still breathing, she's losing blood get someone down here now! Location is Warehouse 12 at the 100 club, section c, nearest entrance is rear door, hurry up!" Robin waited for half a second and a voice replied "Roger that, sending ambulance now, it should be there in a few seconds, apply pressure to wound, do not tie anything around it or it could cut off that part of the body down forever because of a lack of blood" "Rodger that" he turned off his whole radio.

Robin started applying pressure to her wound to stop it from bleeding, and supported Raven's head, "It's going to be ok Rae, don't worry, it will be alright" Raven weakly smiled and said "Thanks Robin" unconsciously. The rest of the team had gathered around after taking the unconscious HIVE to the prison transport car, "What's going on?" asked Cyborg very concerned "Is Rae going to be alright?" Robin nodded as the others just watched quietly "The ambulance will b-"but he was cut off by to men coming through the rear door with a stretcher. "Is this the officer?" asked one of them BB nodded at them, they came through and put Raven on the stretcher and rolled her through the door as the team followed.

They loaded her into the ambulance all the while keeping the wound under presser, it was stopped bleeding as severely now, they were about to close the doors when Cyborg's hand stopped them. "We're coming" he said sternly "Sorry sir, only family" BB glared "Dude, we are her family!" they man sighed "Only one is allowed to accompany her, there are two many of you, the rest of you can follow in you S.W.A.T. van" Cyborg put a hand on Robin's shoulder, "You should go bro" Robin looked up at him "Are you sure?" Cyborg nodded, Robin smiled and got in, they closed the doors and took off as the others went into the van and followed. In the ambulance Robin held Raven's hand as they drove off.

In the van Cyborg drove, BB had shotgun and the girls were in the back, "Dude, what was that about back there with the Robin thing?" asked BB, Terra was busy comforting Starfire so they didn't hear what he said. "It was nothing" he kept his eyes on the road and followed the van, faint sounds of their van and the ambulance's sirens could be heard in the car.

"What do you mean nothing?"

"Nothing"

"Dude, there was some weird bond between you and him about another weird bond between him and Ra- wait a second is that weird bond the bond I'm thinking about?"

"The weird bond is that Robin has more medical knowledge then all of us, and that's why he's going with her, now Raven's injured here, not the best time to talk about bonds, now is it?"

"Your right, sorry, Cy" BB said as he lowered his head in shame

"It's ok, hey, sorry about getting on you like that" said Cyborg trying to cheer the morpher

They smiled at each other for a bit, and then they remembered the situation and put their attention on the van again.

Meanwhile, in a far away cave, there was a man in a huge mechanical felicity under ground watching the whole 'defeat' and saw Robin's reaction to Raven getting hurt. "Interesting display of emotions young Robin" he rubbed a part of his face where his chin would be if he wasn't wearing a mask, "Very interesting, maybe I can use this to me advantage" he chuckled a bit, then laughed and then broke into a maniac laughter that only psychotic people do.
