Okay I'll admit I was thinking about leaving you hanging, but then one really wonderful review inspired me to add another chapter (don't melt vampire-orchid, don't melt!)

Q/A and thank yous:

Vampire-Orchid: I really appreciated the review and thank you for giving me the extra kick I needed to write a better ending (although I wrote this at midnight so I don't know it will be to you guys.)

Darkangelyumi: this chapter should better answer your question. Thank you for the review.

Chapter 12: the aftermath

Disclaimer: I don't own teen titans

And now ten years have passed and things have changed. Those who were lost never came back, but the city carried on. Raven and Beast got married, and surprisingly all the titans have stayed together. This evening is quiet, or quieter than normal anyway.

Starfire and Robin also stayed happily married and they have two children with a third on the way.

"Daddy" a five year old girl calls walking into her parent's room.

"What is it Skye?" Robin asked looking at his oldest daughter. She had jet black hair, bright green eyes, and her mother's eagerness and excitement.

"Can you tell me a bedtime story?" Skye asks quietly

"Sure, which ones have I told you?" Robin asked

"well you told me how mom and you met, and the one about the girl I was named after, and about a kijillion villains you've fought except for some slade person you and mom wont tell me about" Skye said pouting slightly

"You're still a little bit too young to hear about slade, but did I ever tell about the time some magician changed the entire world and the people of this very city became slaves?" Robin asked quietly

"No daddy" Skye said climbing into his lap and looking up in eager anticipation for another exciting tale.

"Wait!" a small voice called through the doorway "wait for me"

A three year old with shoulder length red hair and ice blue eyes came running through the doorway.

"I wanna hear the story too daddy" the three year old said

"Come here then Astra" Robin said gently

Astra carefully walked over and robin picked her up and placed her on his lap.

"Cort wants to hear the story too" Astra whispered

At that moment Raven and Beast boy's son, Cort, came walking in. Cort was just a few months older than Astra and the two of them were the best of friends. Cort had his mother's skin tone, his father's hair color, eyes, and bad sense of humor which Astra laughed at no matter what. Starfire ran in looking flustered.

"Have you seen-oh thank god" Starfire said panting like she'd just run a mile

"What's wrong star?" Robin asked

"Those three" Starfire said pointing to Astra, Skye, and Cort "were supposed to be in the playroom (Terra's room was remolded and turned into a playroom), but when I went to get them they were gone."

"Skyler, Astrid, Cort you know you can't run off like that." Robin scolded

"Can you tell them a story I have to go set up their beds and we promised Raven and Beast boy Cort would be asleep by the time they got home." Starfire questioned pleading

"It's no problem, I was just going to tell them a story anyway." Robin said smiling "come sit down Cort"

And so Robin started the story, this same story you just read, and by the end all three of the children were sleeping.

Starfire had been standing in the doorway listening, but now she walked in and took Cort to his room (beast boy's old room) and Astra and Skye to their room (Starfire's old room)

"I heard you telling them the story" Starfire said softly

"Yea, you remember that don't you?" Robin asked in a hushed tone as if he was afraid to wake anyone up.

"I doubt I shall ever forget" Starfire said gently

The end

I hope you liked it, please review and all flames are welcome. I wrote this at twelve at night so it might not be that good.
