Chapter 9-Wedding Bells Are Ringing
Slade was cooking breakfast when his fiancee walked in, whining, "Slade, honey, my back is killing me, anything you can do about it?"
"Yes, dear. How about a back massage?" he offered.
"Nah, something quick. I mean, it IS our wedding day. We'll be married in-," she responded.
"Three hours. It's already eleven o' clock. Go get ready," he finished.
"I slept for that long!" she exclaimed, rushing to her dressing room. Slade did nothing but let out a small, evil laugh.
Meanwhile, the Titans were rushing down the stairs, and finally reached the bottom. They saw a lake, with a boat ready to go. Everybody tried to get in, but the boat was too small.
"Beast Boy and Starfire, you'll have to fly. Cyborg, you and I will take the boat," Robin commanded. They all followed their directions, and crossed the lake to the dock where Raven was first taken.
"We can't just walk right through the front door, if there is one," Cyborg said.
"There is a ledge, up there," Starfire pointed.
"Follow my lead," Robin told them as he shot up his grapple-hook onto the ledge. Raven turned around, and looked down to see Robin climbing up.
"Robin!" she cried.
"Raven! You have black hair! And you're in a wedding dress!" he yelled back. After climbing up, they gave each other a long kiss, and "Phantom of The Opera" began to play in their heads. The others followed up, and Robin told Raven what went on while she was gone. She gave Starfire a hug and healed up her tongue, but she slapped Beast Boy and Cyborg. Then she had to break the news of her marriage to the team.
"Why would you agree to something like that?" Robin asked, his mouth gaping.
"I've fallen in love with him, that's why," Raven confessed sadly, "But I still love you, and I cannot choose." Robin lowered his head and took her hand. then Slade came in.
"Well, well, well. The Teen Titans-reunited! Two lovers in each others arms once more! Oh, but Robin, I suggest you let go of my pregnant fiancee," Slade cleverly stated.
"WHAT!" evreybody screamed.
"You're pregnant with his child!" Robin yelled at Raven.
"I-I didn't know! I don't know how either!" she sobbed. Robin fell to his knees and began to cry hard.
"Don't you remember, or do you forget last night?" Slade asked, "Let's not dwell on this matter, we have to get married. Oh, and Beast Boy, I fucked Terra, too."
"You unimaginable bastard!" Beast Boy shouted, lunging at him. But Slade was too fast for him. He knocked the rest of the Titans unconcious with a stun gun.
"Come, Raven, we have vows to exchange," he said, taking her hand and leading her out of the room.
A few hours later, Robin woke to see Raven standing over him. He sat up and asked, "Honey, are you married?" She nodded slowly. Another question came up, "What about the baby?"
"I took care of it. I shot an ounce of mercury into my system. That oughta kill it," she told him.
"Don't do that, you'll kill yourself," Robin scolded.
"Not like it's gonna matter. While looking for something to kill the baby, I found a bottle of cyanide labled RAVEN'S POISON. I freaked out, sat in here and thought about why Slade would wanna kill me if I was having his child. Then I deducted that he was using me and he lied to me this whole time. A sham marriage! Ha ha, it's brilliant isn't it? And I fell for everything! The ball, the hair, the tea, the ring, the love he gave me. Oh Robin, I'm so glad I have your shoulder to cry on," she said, burying her head in his chest. Robin began to sing softly, "Anywhere you go, let me go too." Raven lifted her head and joined in, "Love me, that's all I ask of you."
