"How do you know my name?" Raven gasped, "Who are you?"
"How do I know your name? Well let's just say I have my many resources." Slade declared, "I am Slade and I am here to help you."
"You can't help me. Nobody can. So leave me alone." Raven yelled in a monotone voice. When he still hadn't moved she added "NOW!"
The lights in the room exploded from her anger and objects around the room began to float.
Slade just chuckled as he stood there, watching her. This was all just making Raven angrier and angrier. She started to throw things at him, and he dodged every one of them. The more she missed the angrier she kept getting till she was at the edge of her control.
When she realized she was losing her control, she forgot all about Slade and clutches her head muttering the chant to calm her down. When she looked up Slade was in front of her, his eye watching her every move.
"Raven, I can see that you don't have control of your powers, or your emotions. It's uncontrollable for you isn't it?" he asked. His only reply was a nod. "Well, what if I told you I could give you that control you desire."
She looked up at him, her eyes wide with surprise. "Can you really do that?" she stuttered out.
His only reply was " Yes."
She stood there for a second, eyes closed, thinking about what he said. Her greatest desire was about to come true. Violet eyes flew open and she looked at Slade.
"What's the catch, Slade?" she asked quickly, fearing she wouldn't like the answer.
Slade look at her with a steady eye and replied, "The only thing you have to do for control, Raven, is come with me and be my apprentice. Fair, no."
Raven looked at him contemplating her choices. She could either go through life without control or she could go through it with freedom. The moment she thought about the two her mind was made up. She looked up at Slade and asked, "You can guarantee that I'll have complete control?"
"Yes, you'll have that and more. Right now all you have to do is take my hand." he said patiently.
She looked at him and thought one last time about her life, and then she took Slade's hand. His fingers curled around hers and they disappeared into the night.
Back at the Titan Tower, the Titans were relaxing after one of their battles with Cinderblock. All were tired and bruised. Beast Boy and Cyborg were playing their video games, Terra was reading, Starfire was in the kitchen trying to create another one of her world, famous recipes, and Robin was training. They were doing this for a while, till their alarm system went. They all rushed to the control room.
Only one word came out of his mouth, "Slade." The Titans understood and went to Cyborg's car. They were in the middle of the city when a huge boulder came out of nowhere. Cyborg barely got his car out of the way in time. The boulder crashed into a Pizza Hut. They all heard Beast Boy give a sad moan at seeing the pizza place crush.
The Titans rushed out of the car and faced a huge giant they had fought before. Cinderblock. Robin yelled, "It's not nice to waste good food. I guess well just have to take you out some place else. How about your old cell at prison?"
Cinderblock just grunted and got ready to throw a car this time. When it came at them Robin shouted, "Titans, Go!"
They jumped apart and went to do what they did best. Terra moved the earth making Cinderblock collapse. Starfire got in there then and started to shoot her star bolts at him. When Cinderblock got up, he charged at an unsuspecting Terra and crashing her into the wall of a building.
Robin jumped up and threw two of his explosive disks at Cinderblock. The explosion caused to get unbalanced again, but before he hit the ground Beast Boy hit him as rhino making him crash headfirst into a building.
Before Cinderblock had a chance of getting up, Cyborg jumped up and shot him with his Sonic Canyon. Cinderblock was pounded into the ground. This time he didn't get up. He was defeated and unconscious. Beast Boy jumped into the air with a whoop for joy. Cyborg gave Terra a high five. Starfire went around gave everyone a wonderful hug.
Before anyone could get any more congratulations in the ground shacked and the clouds went black. Then up from the ground rose a huge raven. It twisted then into a human being.
The Titans gasped at who the saw. It was the girl from the factory building and she wasn't alone. Behind her was Slade. The Titans just looked at them.
" See Robin, I told you I would get the girl." Slade said mockingly, "Titans I would like you to meet your newest enemy. Titans this here is Raven, Raven meet the Teen Titans."
Raven just looked at them through her hood. She looked at Slade and asked,
" Now?"
He answered, "Yes. Now Raven."
She suddenly flew into the air and said; "Azerath Metrion Zinthos" and things just came flying at the Titans. They were dodging the best they could but it seemed it wasn't enough. In the end they were all either knocked down or out.
Slade turned to Robin, who was still conscious, and said, "I hoped you like her little demonstration today. This was only to show you a little of what is to come." He turned to Raven and said, "It is time to leave. Let's go!" and they disappeared.
The Titans just lie there; with no clue what to do. Robin looked at them and said, " Guys I think we should train. If what she did to us today was only a little bit of her power, then we've got a lot of work to do." They got up and headed home.
At Slade's base, Raven stood there in front of him. "You did well Raven." Slade said, "You may go do what you please, but don't leave this building to do it understand."
"Yes I understand." Raven answered.
"Good you may go," he said. Raven turned and left Slade. Slade turned to the window and said, "Oh Robin. You have no idea what you getting into this time." He started to laugh evilly at how his plans were finally going to work.
