Disclaimer: I do not own Teen Titans. However, I do own the plot…I think.
Now, when I was looking at my reviews (wonderful by the way) I saw that one purpose asked had I purposely got the "League" mixed up. The answer is yes. Don't worry guys I know what I'm doing, just trust me, I got the balls to do a crossover like this. (even though I'm a girl with NO balls)
"So Raven do you mind telling me what the heck is going on here?" Robin asked sternly.
"No, well, not right now Robin, just be patient," Raven stumbled. She knew there was no getting out of this one. She never thought the day that she had to tell the Titans about her destiny would come so soon. Let alone Robin being the first among them.
Robin walked out of the leaving room and walked into the hall. He couldn't believe his ears right now. Raven Roth, His best friend, his teammate, his bond, his girlfriend, had just refused to tell him why she was in so much danger. He couldn't understand why, and he refused to understand. He had never been so hurt but angry at the same time in his life. He walked into his room and laid across his bed as he stared at the ceiling fan twirling around its support. He loved Raven so much, as a friend and more, but why she did the things she did he didn't know. He wanted to know, but she wouldn't open up, not to anyone, even him.
Raven watched as Robin left the living room. She knew he was upset, she could feel it. She just couldn't tell him yet, she didn't want to put him in any danger, him or the other Titans. She loved Robin with all of her heart, but if it meant losing him then so be it.
"Don't you have someone that you need to go talk to Raven?" came a calm and gentle voice from behind her. She turned around and looked into the eyes of the most beautiful woman she had ever seen. Her hair was a long and shiny white and she wore clothes that resembled nature, the earth.
"Hello young Raven, my name is Aurora, you can call me Storm if you would like," Storm said as she sat Raven down beside her.
"Maybe we should leave you two alone," Wolverine said with a grunt and walked out of the room, followed by the others. Starfire turned around at the exit door and glanced at raven for a second, and turned around and continued with the others.
"Raven, I know it is hard for you to keep such a dark and tragic secret form the ones you love, and you and I both know that it is not safe to do so. So why do you continue to do it my child?" Storm asked.
Raven looked down as she fumbled with her fingers and hair. "Because it's the only way I can protect Robin and the other Titans. I don't want anything to happen to them, because if it did, it would be my fault. I wanted to tell them, on my birthday, but when Robin was hurt by Slade I knew that if he kept the secret too, then he would be the #1 target on my father's list." Raven said as tears crept into her eyes. She knew it would be dangerous, but right now she needed tears.
"It is alright Raven, to cry, you don't have to worry about breaking anything. If you do not feel, then you are not human." Storm said as she held Raven in her arms. "Robin is not done with you yet Raven, he is very stubborn indeed so I've heard, you cannot keep this from him any longer, you must tell him Raven, or he will never think you love him, as he loves you." Storm said, and with her final statement, she got up and left the main room.
Raven sat and thought about what Storm had said for an hour. She wanted to tell them, she really did, but she had so much worry, doubts, and fears that were concealed in her heart and mind, that she didn't know if it was safe. Your friends are willing to take that risk Raven; they are willing to die for you. But still, what about my father, they would surely die if he got his hands on them. They wouldn't let that happen Raven. You wouldn't let that happen. The door to the living room slid open and Robin entered. Three different objects blew up as she saw Robin enter. He didn't have on a shirt which made his very well toned stomach visible, and his mask was off showing his lovely blues.
"Robin I-," Raven started but was interrupted was Robin's slender finger.
"I don't want apologies Raven, I want the truth," Robin said as he gave her the coldest glare he could ever possibly give someone he loved.
Raven hesitated a moment and looked deep into Robin's eyes. They were stern, but yet inside she could feel that it hurt him to be this cold, and it hurt him more for her to hide her feelings from him. "Alright Robin, you want the truth, then you'll get the truth, all of you." Raven said and she got up to go and get the others. Once everyone was in the crowded room and she sat in between Storm and Jubilee, she began to talk.
"Many people would call Angela weak for letting herself get lured into such a cult. But those who criticize her have never been lost like her. The sect Angela Roth was welcomed into gave her a sense of belonging. A sense of family which she said she never had. A red hooded woman who was wearing a green hooded cape just like Angela's said "It has been agreed by all of us, Angela. You shall be the summoner tonight." While lighting a candle Angela asked "Am I... am ready, Tala?" "Yes, child. Your soul is ripe." Tala replied. Many people wearing green cloaks were outside holding two sticks of fire each under a full moon. Almost at the point of suicide, Arella was rescued by an extra-dimensional pacifist cult and taken to the other-worldly dimensional world known as Azarath. There, she gave birth to me. The moment I was born, Trigon's evil influence was felt in Azarath. The grand-daughter if the original Azar herself raised me and trained me to keep my emotions in check, lest Trigon's evil side within me would be set free. At the age of ten, Arella once again cared for me daughter, as Azar passed away. Before Azar died, however, she gave mea pair of rings that she herself had always worn. The rings held Azar's essence. Three years later, Trigon appeared in Azarath in an attempt to reclaim me as his own. As a defense mechanism, I unleashed my soul self for the first time. The manifestation of the soul self confirmed that I was indeed the daughter of Trigon. Trigon instilled more of his essence into my soul self and left without me, promising that I would eventually belong to him. He has again returned for me, that's why Slade was after me, and my destiny is to destroy the world, and rule beside my father." Raven explained as she fumbled with her fingers.
She looked up to see every one's reactions to her sad and dreadful sob story. Everyone had a pained and sympathetic on their faces, all except for Robin. Raven looked at him and tears poured from her eyes freely. She walked over to Robin, and everyone watched on. She walked in front of him and sat in his lap, she laid her head down on his chest and cried like she never had before.
This was all Robin wanted. He didn't care about the variety of objects that were blowing up all through the tower or the white glow that came from Raven's eyes due to too many emotions, he didn't care about the people that were watching them, he didn't care about her past, or how she was born. All he cared about was her, right now, at this moment. All he cared about was protecting her, whether he died in the process or not, he was willing to take that chance. He wrapped his arms around Raven's waist and held her like she would break if he let her go.
"Now that's true love," Jubilee said from within in the crowd.
"Yea but we all know Robin; he would kill and burn anyone that hurts someone he loves." Cyclops said as he watched the couple.
"True love that I wish, I too would've had," Starfire whispered to herself as her head drooped and she walked silently to her room.
"Well? What are we waiting for people! We have a demon to slay and a girl to protect," Bumblebee said as she got out scrolls of paper to begin their plan.
"Alright this is what we do. We head out in groups of three and four; we found the cave that Slade had been planning with Trigon in so we must go there in order to stop him. Raven's gonna stick with Boy Wonder over there so he can protect her if she gets too badly harmed. We're all going to go through separate entrances that we will make in the cave, so whatever attacks Slade has planning, we'll be ready for him on every side. Sounds like a plan?" Bumblebee said as she put her hands on her hip, satisfied with her brain work.
"You go girl!" Rogue said as she looked over the plans that Bumblebee had made out.
"I never doubted you for a second baby" Cyborg said as he gave his girlfriend a kiss.
"Wait who's going to go with the important group here? Obviously that would involve Robin and Raven, so we need two other strong people to go with them right?" Wolverine said as he rolled his eyes as if that was the most obvious thing in the world.
"Yes, but we may need three people, so we can have groups of four, two fives. Now Wolverine, Jubilee, and Cyclops will go with Robin and Raven. Storm, me, Beastboy, and Speedy will be together. Starfire, Gonzales Twins, Flash, and Jean Grey will go in an entrance, Spidey, Professor X, Static, Bumblebee and Cyborg will head it out." Rogue said as she straightened her hair.
"Now who's ready to rumble!" she said as she stood up in a fighting stance.
"Let's do this" Robin said form behind in a poisonous tone that made sure it would kill the person that ever hurt him or someone he loved.
