Disclaimer: (mutters) I don't own Teen Titans.
Author's Notes: I just got done watching 'Date with Destiny' and just read the 'Teen Titans Go' comics 7-8, and I decided to update!
WARNINGS: There is slash in this chapter, as well as some mild language. The violence won't be along until chapter three or four, depending on what kind of stuff I feel like writing.

"Raven?" Starfire knocked on the girl's door. "It is I, Starfire. I wish to speak with you!"
The door slid open and Raven looked at her warily before opening the door completely, allowing her inside.
"What?" Raven asked, sitting on her bed.
"You did no join us at breakfast...Are you feeling well?"
Raven sighed and frowned. "I'm all right Starfire. You don't need to worry about me. Was Robin at breakfast?"
"No, he was not...Cyborg tried to speak with him but was not successful..."
"Was there anything else you wanted to talk about?"
Starfire handed her an envelope. "This is addressed to you. It came this morning but it does not say anything except for your name...I did not read what is inside, though I came curious. Raven, what is it?"
Scowling, Raven opened the envelop and read the note.
"Starfire, I need to be alone."
"Raven...?"
"Get out. I'll talk to you later."
With a sad frown and sigh of defeat, Starfire floated out of the room.
"Damn. How could she have found me...?" Raven muttered, darkly, as she crumpled up the note and threw it aside in disgust. She stood up and pulled on her cape, making sure her face was hidden beneath the hood before she stormed out of her bedroom.
------
Starfire knew something was wrong with Raven. The letter that had been sent to her was obviously important and distressing. Raven acted dark and gloomy, but she rarely told Starfire to go away or to get out of her room.
I do not understand...Why is she so upset?
She saw a dark figure leaving the tower and she knew Raven was going somewhere. This meant that her room was empty...
I should not be doing this...I am invading Raven's privacy.
Taking a deep breath, Starfire entered her lover's bedroom and almost instantly noticed the crumpled piece of paper on the floor. Curiously, she picked it up and spread it out on Raven's bed.
Raven-
At long last, I've found you. You know who this is, don't you? You won't escape me, not this time. When you managed to slip passed me a year ago, you were lucky. But your luck has run out. Time for you to go to Hell.
Starfire's eyes widened.
A year ago...? The Teen Titans was formed nearly a year ago!
She ran out of Raven's room, unsure of what to do.
------
"Where are you?!" Raven demanded, impatiently. She was not in the mood to be played with, and her angry expression made that clear.
"My, my...What a temper. What can I do for you, Raven?" A voice asked from the shadows.
Raven began walking around the warehouse.
"Terra found me. I don't know how, be she has. She's on her was to Jump City and she'll be here before next week."
"You have seen this?"
"Yes, I have. You've been interested in Terra for some time, don't deny it. Did you tell her my whereabouts?"
The voice chucked. "Of course not, Raven. If I betray you, I won't get what I want."
"What do you want, anyways?" Raven tilted her head and her scowl faded.
"It's not like you to be so impatient. You're reminding me of Robin."
Robin...the voice had purred out the name, as though savoring it.
"If it's Robin you want, I'm only giving you one warning," Raven hissed. "Hurt him and you will pay."
"I know, my dear. We've already gone over this."
"That was different. We were talking about Starfire last time."
She felt a presence behind her and she whipped around, only to see a blur run into swarm of shadows and disappear in seconds.
"Raven, Raven...I can assure you I have nothing to do with Terra finding you. She's a very clever little girl."
"A clever little girl that almost killed me!" Raven snapped. She stopped walking and glared into a cluster of darkness.
"Excellent, Raven, I see you have found my hiding place," the voice carried hints of a smirk.
"Enough talk. I only came to see what you knew."
"Very well. When will I be graced with your presence again?"
Raven folded her arms. "Not for awhile. If I keep sneaking out, my friends will get suspicious."
She saw a shift in the shadows and she assumed the figure was nodding. Without another word, she turned to leave, but a hand grabbed her wrist.
"One more thing before you go," the figure said.
"What?"
"How is Robin?"
"I take it you're the cause of those dreams he's been having," Raven said, narrowing her eyes in realization. "So it is Robin you want?"
"Skilled and smart...I'm very proud."
She snorted. "Robin isn't too thrilled with whatever you're making him see. He won't eat and he doesn't sleep as much."
The figure sighed. "I'll stop for now. Get him eating again, would you?"
"I'll convince Starfire to. You know I'm not good at the 'nice' thing."
"I need you to do me a favor."
"What? Getting Robin to eat isn't enough?" Raven raised an eyebrow.
"Do this for me and I'll make sure Terra doesn't find out about your relationship with Starfire. You and I both know that would put her in danger."
Her eyes narrowed even more. "I'm listening."
"I need you to find a way to get Robin out of the Tower. I want him alone."
"Fine." Her eye twitched. "But if you do anything to hurt him..."
"I know, I know." He waved his hand and she stopped talking. "But don't worry. I won't hurt him. Now run along and go back to the tower."
The figure let go of her wrist and watched Raven leave.
When she opened the door, light spilled into the warehouse, revealing the figure who had been speaking to her.
"Until next time...my apprentice," Slade smirked behind his mask.
------
A/N: It would appear Raven is Slade's apprentice, no? I do not know why I wanted her to be, but I guess it's because I want this to be Slade/Robin, but I don't want Robin to have to betray the Titans...But, this is going to be rather dark fic anyways. See you all next chapter!
