Hey everyone, almost done in this story, there are only a few more chapters left. Well I hope everyone is liking it. Anyway here is the newest chapter, Chapter Ten: Contact.
The next day, Raven spent most of her time in her room, meditating.
'That was really stupid you know that right? You kissed him and the thing is, you actually enjoyed it.' She thought to herself as she hover just above the floor. 'You need to watch yourself Raven; you can't slip up like that again. Although, he is awfully cute and a great kisser.' At this moment her eyes snapped open and she just stared at the wall that she was looking at. "What in the hell are you saying?" Raven said aloud. "Never do that again!" She said, reprimanding herself.

"That little shit." Smith said as he and Warhead made their way back to the hideout. "He will join us or perish, there is no way around this." Smith said.
"But master, he will is too strong, he will be a hard one to break." Warhead said, pointing out the obvious.
"Yes, he may be hard to turn, however, with my latest plan, he will realize that he can no longer deny his fate, because he will have to join me, to save the one he loves." Smith said, while bellowing a sinister laugh.
Warhead continued to walk along with Smith, not laughing with him.

Shade sat in his room and wondered what had happened just the night before. 'That was really weird; Raven isn't one to express her emotions in such a way. Maybe there is something wrong, maybe I did something wrong?' Thinking about it was killing him; he wanted to know the reason for Raven's expression. Shade sat there meditating for a bit and recalled the night before when this had happened.
They had just come back from being ambushed by Smith and Warhead when she leaned in close and had kissed him.
'That's all the happened, nothing unusual, unless of course, you count the fact that Raven kissed me.' Shade thought to himself, still in his deep meditation. 'As well, now that I think about it, her cloak was getting lighter as she kissed me. I remember seeing that. We can add that to the list of weird things that have been happening here lately.' Shade thought to himself as he hover above the ground in his meditation.

Frosty and Phoenix had come into Dark-Canuck's room to see how he had been holding up the last few days.
"Hey Dark, how have you been?" Frosty said as she entered. "Sorry I haven't been around lately to see you, we have been really busy, as you could tell by the alarms." Frosty chuckled as she said this.
"Yeah, I could tell that you guys were working really hard. Well thank God for the Teen Titans or else we would be having quite the problem with all these alerts." Dark said smiling as he looked over at Phoenix who was looking right back at him.
"Yeah, so true. But if you'll excuse me, I am going to train some, I think I need it." Frosty said as she left the room and walked down the hallway to the weight room.
"So, how are you Phoenix? You seem a little out of it lately." Dark said tenderly to his teammate.
"I have been ok, I guess." Phoenix said, non-convincingly.
"What's wrong Phoenix? Please tell me, you haven't been yourself lately." Dark begged her.
"It's just that when you got hurt and when you were in your coma, I thought that I was going to lose you, and you know more about me more than anyone, sometimes even my sister." Phoenix began. "If I would have lost you, I would have lost almost a brother to me, but I would have lost someone even more than that." Phoenix said.
Dark gave her a look to continue.
"I would have lost the person that I love so much." Phoenix finally had come out with it. She had said what had been in her heart for so long and yearned to be free.
"Phoenix, you don't know how long I have loved you as well, ever since I had first laid my eyes on you, I knew you were the one. I knew it from the beginning and I wanted to say something, I really wanted to, but lacked what I needed to do so." Dark said, pouring his heart out.
Phoenix looked at him for a bit and then leaned in and kissed him.
After a while Dark grunted and pulled Phoenix away from him.
"What's wrong Dark? Was it too soon?"
"No not that at all. It's just that you were leaning on my ribs." Dark said with a little chuckle.
"Heh, oops." Phoenix said, and leaned in again and kissed Dark for a little bit longer.

The Titans were in the living room just watching TV and chatting.
"So what do you guys think about these Canadian doppelgangers?" Beast Boy asked out loud.
"They are cool, I like them, and they know how to run the city and keep the crime away." Robin said truthfully.
"Yes, I must agree, they are extremely 'cold', as you say it." Starfire said, trying to act like she knew what she was talking about.
"Uhh Star, I think you mean they are 'cool'." Robin said, correcting the alien.
"Oh? I thought that since 'cool' was a good thing, that 'cold' would be even better." Starfire said truthfully.
The boys had a good laugh when she said this, making Starfire blush a bit and sink into her chair as well.
They were all having a good time, when a call came up on the giant screen. It alerted the Titans that someone was trying to contact them.
"What should we do?" Cyborg asked. "Answer it?" He shrugged.
Robin went up and pressed the button that answers incoming calls and up popped the face that they hoped it was not. It was Smith contacting the Titans and the Canucks.
"Why hello there Titans. So glad to see your smiling faces again. My brother has told me much about you." Smith said smiling.
"What in the hell are you talking about your brother?" Robin said.
"You mean to tell me that your friend Shade has not told you about our little contact yet?" Smith said smiling. "Yes Robin, my brother. My brother is someone you know, from your Jump City."
"No…" Robin said low.
"Yes." Smith hissed. "Yes Robin, my brother is your worst enemy, he is Slade."
"There is no way!" Robin yelled.
"Oh yes there is." Smith said, smiling all the while.
"Why did you call us, I know Slade well enough that he calls only when he is planning something, so what are you planning Smith?" Robin yelled.
"So full of questions. It is amusing to see you in such a mood." Smith said over the screen. "You wish to know what my plans are, then here, let me tell you." Smith said beginning his speech. "I'm sure you are familiar with the earth's axis?"
Robin nodded for him to continue.
"Well what would happen if the earth axis was distorted even a little bit, by a few degrees? The days become shorter, winter becomes summer, and summer becomes winter and destroys all the worlds' crops. It will be the end of the world, as we know it." Smith said, smiling.
"Why would you do such a thing?" Starfire asked.
"Because I can." Was Smith's only reply.
"How are you planning to do this? What are you using?" Robin yelled at the screen.
"Seismic generators that will cause such an earth quake, the whole world will feel it and the earth will tremble before me. The axis will be misaligned and the earth will be doomed."
"How long do we have?" Robin asked.
"Not long Robin, not long at all. They have been put up a while ago, and I estimate you have about 24 hours to locate and dismantle them."
"Tell me where they are!"
"Ahh, Robin you confuse me for my brother. He is one to tell you where they are, however I enjoy watching people suffer in agony, therefore you will get nothing from me. Enjoy yourself Titans!" Smith said, his face disappearing from the screen.
Robin immediately ran over to the emergency button and pressed it.
