Ok, for anyone that read Cherry Blossom, this is right after the last Chapter. I decided to make another segment because the last story was where all the real romance happened. Now it's about Zaith's anger and how he deals with what happens to him. Well I hope you enjoy.

Disclaimer: I don't own Teen Titans, but I do watch the show.

Chapter 1: Family Issues

Raven and Zaith made their way to the lobby area (or lounge, I'm not too sure) and found that most of the others were watching something on the T.V. As the two came closer to the T.V., Zaith realized what they were talking about.

It was a local news channel, and from the looks of things they were talking about the Teen Titans. A female news reporter was talking about them all, and Zaith only caught the last couple of moments of her report.

"As I have said before, The Teen Titans are a great force in stopping crimes in the city. They have a great leader to thank for that. Also their teamwork is very commendable, and although they are often under the stress of fighting a crime, the team always finds time to sit down and enjoy life." The reporter paused for a moment, but the moment was short, as she continued. "But what many people find very interesting is the fact that the Titans have actually recruited a new member onto the team. His name is Zaith Falken, and from the looks of things, he has been doing quite a number on the villains he's faced so far."

As she spoke, a still frame of Zaith coming down onto the giant robot from a couple of nights ago showed. Another still showed Zaith holding Raven in his arms after she had been knocked out in the fight with Cinderblock.

The Titans, who were watching the report at the time, started looking around, wondering where Zaith was. They all stopped searching when they noticed he was just behind them.

"Dude, you famous now!" Beast Boy said as he saw Zaith.

"What is this 'famous'. Star Fire asked as she tugged on Robin's arm.

"It means that a lot of people will look up to him as a hero, Star." Robin responded.

"That is such nice news!" Star Fire exclaimed, now understanding what was going on. She then flew over to Zaith and gave him yet another rib breaking hug.

"Thank you, Star Fire. I really appreciate it." Zaith said, trying to be a little bit sarcastic. When Star Fire let go of him, he began to speak in a modest tone. "But seriously, I really didn't do anything."

"Nah, man, you're a real help to the team. It's a good thing we got you too cuz who knows what would happen if the bad guys got to ya first." Cyborg said in a happy yet serious tone.

Just as Cyborg finished saying this, the alert sirens went off. The Titans all looked over to Robin, who was already rushing to the console.

"Who is it, man?" Cyborg asked in an annoyed tone.

"I don't know, the computer doesn't know who it is. But he is by the 'Ruby Train Station'. Let's go."

And with that, they all made their way to the 'Ruby Train Station', or RTS for short. It was the major train station in the city, and it provided a large amount of transport in and out of the city.

They found a man, dressed completely in black. A trench coat with a blue dragon on the back, combat boots, black shirt, a katana at his waist, long black hair that fell past his shoulders, and Hispanic skin. If anything, he was a clone of Zaith. Or at least, that's who the others thought he was.

"Hello, little brother." The man said as he turned around, revealing a long scar that came across his left eye. His eye was still there, but the skin didn't heal well.

"You…"

"Zaith you know this guy?" Beast Boy asked.

"Let's just say we have some issues that need to be resolved." Zaith said angrily.

"Come now, brother, after all you've been through, you still feel angry with me?"

"You killed our parents you bastard! What make you think that I'll forgive you for that?!" Zaith had his fists clenched and was ready to attack his brother at any moment.

"Don't think you can defeat me. I'm still older then you and I know all your moves."

"You know nothing!" Zaith said as he unsheathed his sword and then charge at his brother. Zaith's sword with his brother's, and sparks began to fly off their swords. "I'LL KILL YOU, VLADE!!! I'LL KILL YOU!!!"

Zaith, being to angry to notice that Vlade had raised his leg to his chest, was kicked to the ground. Zaith quickly stood up, then charged at his brother yet again. Vlade easily thought through this, and used his blade to hit Zaith's wrist as he moved away from his sword. Zaith's sword flew away from, him, but as he noticed that Vlade began to charge, he changed his tactics.

Quickly, Zaith moved out of the way, narrowly dodging the attack. As Vlade's sword came down in front of him, he caught the blunt of the sword with his finger and pushed it forward, forcing Vlade to trip forward. Zaith used his new advantage to bash his elbow into Vlade's gut.

Vlade was sent into a nearby support beam, breaking the cheap tiles off of it. But he quickly regained his footing, and then charged at Zaith. Suddenly, the two were fighting hand to hand, trading blow for blow, and constantly blocking each other's moves. They were practically twins as they fought, and the only way the other Titans could tell who was who was by the scar that Vlade had.

Yet the small bout didn't last long. Eventually, Vlade backed off of Zaith, and the two stood in fighting poses, glaring at each other.

"This is pointless, Zaith." Vlade said, who was bleeding from the mouth and had a cut from Zaith's knuckle under his right eye.

"Maybe for you, but I'm trying to avenge our parents." Zaith said, with similar wounds.

"Well, I've got more important things I have to worry about. So I'll be seeing you later." Vlade said as he turned around and began walking to where the trains would be.

The rumble of trains could be heard come closer and closer. It almost there when Vlade decided to leave, and Zaith knew that he was going to try and escape. Zaith rushed after Vlade and lunged at him, hoping to grab Vlade before he realized what was happening.

Vlade had apparently planned this out, as he did a back flip to get behind Zaith. Once he landed, he kicked Zaith, who had managed to turn around to see where he went. This force of the kick sent him flying towards the tracks.

The train wasn't stopping, and it hit Zaith full speed. Zaith didn't even have enough time to scream in pain, as he crashed into the front of the train. He was plastered to the train until it came to a stop at the next Station.

The other's cried out in horror, hoping that he wasn't dead. Most of them knew he was strong, but were doubtful he could survive a train at full speed. Raven's eyes glowed black as she caught hold of a soda machine and thrust it at Vlade using her powers. Vlade simply jumped out of the way, and somehow vanished completely.

Raven, now more worried about finding Zaith then she was with Vlade, hurried over to the tracks, hoping to at least see some sign of him.

"Dude…" was the only word that Beast Boy could muster to say, while the other's simply remained in silence. Star Fire, fell to her knees and started crying, fearing the worst.

Robin went to the tracks and quickly examined them for any sort of clue as to Zaith's well being. He found nothing.

"He might still be alive." He said. At this Raven quickly rushed over to Robin and clutched the collar of his shirt.

"Where?!" She said.

"The next station." He said, slightly horrified to see what Raven was doing.

Raven then quickly used her powers to teleport herself to the next station on the tracks, and sure enough, found the train. Only now, it had a huge dent in front of it. Lying in front of the stopped train laid a battered and unconscious Zaith. And medical team was there, seeing how well he was. It wasn't looking to good, to say the least.

"The only way he's gonna live is if we get him to the hospital now." One of the medics said.

"Well let's get him on the stretcher first; we can worry about the hospital later." The other said.

The medics got him onto the stretcher then carried him up a flight a stairs, then to an ambulance that was parked outside. The two medics placed him inside then began to drive off to the city hospital. Raven made her way into the passenger seat, which startle the driver.

"What the hell?! How did you get in?"

"Park the car." Raven said as she used her powers to move the ambulance to the hospital faster. Once at the hospital, the medics brought Zaith into the hospital, and carried him into the Emergency Room while the doctors examined him. Once at the ER, one of the doctors told Raven to wait in the hallway and wait for them to come out later. Raven, though angry and sad at the same time, managed to stay calm and did as the doctor told him.

After about twenty minuets of waiting, the others made their way to the ER room where Zaith was being operated on.

"How's he doing?" Robin asked.

Raven simply lowered her head and looked at the ground. The rest of the night, the team spent there waiting for the doctor's to come out. Raven tried to hold in the tears while she waited, but they refused to listen to her. She cried, and Star Fire comforted her by allowing her to cry on her shoulder.

Eventually, the team got another call, and they had to deal with Johnny Rancid and his oversized pet robot. The team decided to leave Raven behind for now, as she needed some time to think, though they didn't know why she cried.

While the team was away, the doctors began to leave the ER, and Zaith's was rolled away to another room. The doctor that spoke with Raven earlier came up to her and began to speak.

"Well, he'll… barely."

"You mean…"

"He'll be fine. He's mainly got broken bones all across his body and many cuts caused from glass and steel. Other then that, he's fine, but he'll need as much rest as he can get or he might turn out alright in the end."

"Thank you." Raven said as another tear began to role down her cheek.

"Your welcome." He said. "Oh yeah, Zaith told me to tell you that he wanted to see you after the operation."

"He said that?"

"Yep, now go meet him before he falls asleep again."

Raven then ran after the stretcher Zaith was on, and eventually came to his room. They had moved him to his new bed, where he was going to have to rest for a while.

"Zaith…" Raven said as she saw his damaged body.

"…Hey…" Zaith said quietly.

"I'm so sorry." Raven said as she rushed over to the bedside. She then grasped his hand, and began to gently brush it with her own.

"Don't be, it's not your fault."

"I love you, Zaith, and I don't want you getting hurt. That's why I'm sorry; I should have done something to stop Vlade."

"And I love you too. But Vlade is too strong for you. He understands a lot more then I do and he's had a lot more training then I have. That's why he beat me."

"But why do you two have such a grudge against each other? I mean is everything you two said earlier true?"

"I'd rather not talk about that right now."

"Alright." Raven said quietly as she leaned forward and kissed Zaith on the lips. "I'll wait. But when you get out of here, I want to tell me what happened between the two of you.

Raven the left room and allowed Zaith to get his rest. He soon fell asleep, but found even that difficult as he continued to think angrily of Vlade.

The other's returned to hospital after defeating Rancid, which wasn't to hard to do. They all wanted to see how he was doing, but Raven told him that he needed his rest. They all went back to the Tower, and eventually they too got their sleep.
