Raven sat on the edge of her bed looking out into the dark depths of her room and sighed quietly, she had tried to go to sleep, she really had, but it seemed that the fates had it out to get her tonight. She tapped her foot silently on the ground to the rhythm of her clock. Tap tap tap tap, tick tock tick tock. She let out a long breath and stood up, she was too nervous, jumpy, anxious. For what she didn't know, no that was a lie, she knew. She got the feeling as soon as she figured who the cloaked figure on the street was, it had been there ever since. Knowing that she wasn't going to sleep any time soon she quietly transformed into her black raven self and phased through the ceiling of her room and the floors of all the other rooms above her, and she landed silently on the top of the roof. She floated over to the very edge of the building and crossed her legs in mid air and levitated about a foot off the ground. She felt the wind blow around her and had to get used to the cool feeling having grown accustomed to the heat of her belt. She closed her eyes and started her to say her mantra as though in a trance

"Azarath, Metrion, Zinthos. Azarath, Metrion, Zinthos. Az-" she was interrupted by a burst of flame and heat to her right seemingly to come out of nowhere. She was not fazed.

"Here you are!" Kyzein said exasperated "I was looking for you. You weren't in your room and I couldn't find you anywhere." He walked over next to her and levitated himself off the ground in the same manner as she and turned to face her. She opened her eyes and they met his fierce green ones that seemed to outshine even the brightest of stars. They were silent for a while neither knowing what to say, it had been a while since they last saw each other and it seemed awkward to have them all of a sudden beside you. And this time it wasn't a dream.

"I missed you." This startled Raven. He had always been very forward to her, telling her and only her what he was thinking, feeling, but she had expected in her absence for him to have closed up a bit. But he was the same as ever. And even though she would never admit it out loud, she was glad. She faced the lake again and stared out to the dark depths of the night and whispered quietly.

"Yeah, I missed you too." They sat like that in a now comfortable silence, just watching the water hit the sides of the tower.

"I know this is gonna sound weird and is probably rude but….what's happened to you since the last time I saw you? I mean, how's your life been? What milestones have you hit? Do you still read poetry, do you still have your mirror, when did you become a Titan? What IS a Titan!" Kyzein practically screamed the last part and realized what he had been doing and looked down slightly before saying "There are so many things I want to know now that you're back…. it just seems like I don't know you anymore. And that worries me." She grinned secretly happy that he was worried about her and still wanted to be part of her life even after what had happened at home. So she told him.

She spoke more in the next hour and a half to him then probably the last year to the Titans. She told of how she left Azararth, came to Earth. Her first meeting with the Titans, how she always felt alone. The time when she had lost control with Doctor Light, the events concerning Malchior. The betrayal of Terra. All of it. And in turn he told her his story. How he had missed her but stayed on their home planet, continued his life as it had been. How he was given the chance to go and look for her. The first moment he saw her again.

They had been talking for a good two and a half hours, no longer levitating off the ground but leaning against the side of the door leading up to the roof. They had been sitting for a while letting their voices rest from their talk when all of a sudden Kyzein said

"What is it with you and roofs?" Raven looked over to her long time friend as if he had truly lost his mind and raised an elegant eyebrow at him.

"Well if you think about it you're always on a roof. You always told me to meet you on the roof when we were younger, the last time I saw you was on the roof of the palace and now where do I find you? But sitting on a roof top on the top of a giant letter 'T'. I just find that very peculiar." Raven smiled and rolled her eyes but shuddered as a gust of wind blew her cloak slightly, letting in the cold damp air. Kyzein took his arms out from under his own cloak and placed them on her waist slightly, making sure to mostly touch her belt. His eyes blazed as he passed his powers into the belt once more. His irises returned to their normal color after a few seconds and he set his arms back by his side, watching as the girl looked towards her waist, her eyelids drooping slightly, feeling the heat of the belt automatically adjust to the temperature outside. He turned his face away realizing once again that he had been staring.

"I can see why you decided to stay on this planet for so long. It's beautiful. But I must tell you I don't feel very comfortable with your team and….." He suddenly felt a slight weight on his shoulder and looked to his left to find Raven's head resting there. Tilting his head forward he caught a glimpse of her serene face, she had fallen asleep. He liked at how childish her face looked, as if she had no troubles in the world, when he knew it was quite the opposite. He sighed and lifted her in his arms bridal style feeling her own arms wrappping themselves unconsciously around his neck. He walked down the stairs and into the hallway trying to remember the way he had taken to get to her room, finally finding it he opened the door gently and walked in. The room was dark and had a very ominous look about it. Very Raven. He placed her carefully down in her bed pulling the comforter up under her chin and slowly walked out of the room back to his own bare one.

0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o

Raven awoke to the sounds of yelling. She yawned and tried to block out the sounds of the argument so she could fall back into her dreamland. It was not to be. She glanced at her clock which said 8:43. She had ventured up to the roof at three o'clock in the morning. This was gonna be a long day. The girl rose out of her comfy bed and shuffled over to her closet grabbing a new outfit and phased into the shower. After getting cleaned and dresses she walked over to her large mirror that sat atop her dresser and started to comb her hair. Once getting out all of the tangles she opened the door to her room and got ready to face the day. She felt like she could beat anything. Well, almost. When she got down to the living room she found the heated argument still going. BB and Cyborg were sitting on the couch playing a game of Madden 2005 spitting out names to the other every once in a while. Starfire sat between the two acting as a sort of referee making sure the other didn't start a physical fight. Robin was standing by the stereo blasting out his, and every one else's, ear drums a look of annoyment. Kyzein was floating over the pair of arguing boys a look of amusement was on his face watching them play the game with a certain amount of interest in his own eyes. Raven went over to the window, levitated off the ground, closed her eyes, and started to meditate. The group went on like this for a while until Robin reached out a hand, turned off the radio and went over to the couch waiting for a pause in the two boys games. Once it happened Robin reached out and turned off the game station. All went quiet in the room except for the quiet mantra of the sorceress in the corner.

"Raven." Robin called . The girl stopped her chanting reopened her eyes slowly, unhappy by the fact that she was being interrupted, then flew over to the spot in the air beside Kyzein waiting for the leader of the Titans to begin his speech.

"I just wanted to go over what we are to do in training today. I think instead of doing the obstacle course today we'll have a little one on one combat. I know some of us rely on our powers and gifts a lot in battle but I want you to make sure that you can handle some kicks and punches. Now this will be a little difficult for some of you but I know we can do this. Now Kyzein I don't know about what you want to do while were doing this but feel free to wander the tower at your leisure. But please stay out of the rooms that say 'team members only'. We'll be out front if you need us." Robin turned to leave when he stopped upon hearing Kyzein's voice behind him.

"Actually if it's O.K. with everyone else I'd like to participate in the training, it's been a while since I've gotten a good workout." Yeah right thought Raven looking at her friend in his red muscle shirt WOAH! Stop looking there Raven, he's just a friend. Sure a friend that's done some growing up in the past few years but still a friend none the less...

"I don't know," replied Robin trying to think of a way to make Kyzein leave for a while "We train pretty hard and you might not be ready for this…." He was hastily trying to think of an excuse.

"Oh please friend Robin" Starfire squeaked out, " I would very much enjoy it if friend Kyzein was to train with us it would be most pleasant!" Starfire had her hands clasped together in front of her and had a hopeful expression on her face. Robin looked to Beastboy who was also looking like it was a good idea. Robin glanced at Cyborg hoping the half robot would catch the hint that he didn't want the alien to join. Cyborg obviously wasn't able to read faces as well as his graphs for he remarked.

"It would make it a lot easier Rob." Upon seeing the hopeful look on his team mates faces the leader gave up.

"Alright, you guys win. He stays. Lets head on down to the practice field." The team all filed out of the room into the crisp October air outside and stood ready for instructions.

"O.K. here's what we'll do. I agree with Cy for the pairing thing so we'll pair up and then we'll switch. Now… how 'bout Beastboy and Raven, Cy and Kyzein ,and then me and Star. That O.K. with every one?" Not waiting for an answer he continued, "Now you all know we're not here to hurt one another, I expect bruises, cuts and sores but nothing more. Understood?" Everyone nodded their heads and headed to different parts of the island. All got into fighting positions, poised for battle. (A.N. I'm not gonna do all the fights just part of one and then all of the last one)

"Ready! One, two, and GO!" With that the fighting commenced, in the first round the victors were Raven, Kyzein and Robin. Kyzein and Raven found it fairly easy. They won in the next fight too and it continued this way for all the fights, finally Cyborg, Starfire, and Beastboy all gave up and sat down to watch their fellow team mates while nursing their small wounds. It was the middle of a match between Raven and Robin with kyzein watching on the sidelines. Both birds were tired and that caused both of them to slow down and one of them was a bit distracted. Robin kept watching the way Raven moved and how her eyes sparkled when she knew she had delivered a good hit. It managed to distract Robins so much that he didn't see Raven run towards him and while faking to punch him with her right hand, she had a ball of dark energy in the other. It landed right in Robins chest, the boy was thrown across the room and slammed into a nearby wall.

"And the winner of this last match of the two birds ladies and gentlemen is……Raven!" Beastboy threw Raven's arm into the air and to his surprise she didn't jerk it back down. Then he continued in his announcer voice " And now ladies and gentlemen, the fight you've all been waiting for…..Kyzein verses Raven!" Everyone except Robin, who was still on the ground, cheered appreciatively. The two Azarathians looked at each other and Raven couldn't help but smirk. It had been soooo long since she had dueled him. They moved to a empty part of the island and stood facing the each other quietly. They were both tired from all the fights but not THAT tired. They were equally looking forward to the match.

"Hey everybody," Kyzein called to the group, " I want to make sure that none of you interfere with the fight. It'll definitely get rough but we won't hurt each other. Right Raven?" She just smirked in response.

"Are you guys sure?" Cyborg asked tentatively watching his 'little sisters' face. She didn't look worried.

"Of course we are." Raven proclaimed. This extinguished all Cyborg's worries and he leaned back to watch what was bound to be a good fight. Beastboy stepped between the two.

"Now I want a good clean fight. Hahaha! I've always wanted to say that!" He raised his hand and screamed "GO!" and with a burst of flames and dark energy the fight began.

The two tore towards each other at break neck speed Raven summoning a ball of black energy she threw it at Ky who easily dodged it. He suddenly stopped in mid air and shot multiple fire blasts at her face, Raven quickly ducked the onslaught of fire bringing a shield in front of her just in case. Frowning Kyzein flew towards her forming a fire spear in his right hand, he threw it at her which she once again easily dodged, but she was too slow to see the kick that was aimed right for her ribs. His boot made contact and she was reeled backwards into the dirt landing right on her butt she looked up to see a fire ball coming straight towards her, she quickly raised a shield. Kyzein floated above her watching her as she stood up, she frowned in his direction then with a huge amount of power shot up towards him. Kyzein not expecting this was thrown upwards into the sky. Raven teleported above him and sent him reeling towards the earth with a blast of energy. He landed denting the earth beneath him and flew back up to her, trying to punch her pretty face. They fought hand to hand in mid-air for a while each blocking the others hits, matched almost perfectly. For each kick Raven delivered Kyzein met it with a punch of his own. Finally Kyzein shot out a blast of fire from his hand and Raven's cloak caught on fire, she quickly discarded it letting it fall to the ground several hundred feet below her.

"That was my favorite cloak." She said in just above a whisper. Kyzein who had momentarily stopped fighting grinned at her and waggled his eyebrows, this only proved to anger her more and using her powers she lifted a piece of rock below her and hurled it at his form, it landed straight in his stomach. He pummeled towards the earth and left a ten foot long skid mark after landing in the dirt. He opened his eyes slowly and saw that the rest of the Titans were standing only a couple of yards away from him, mouths gaping. He quickly got up and scanned the skies for his opponent, not finding her he put a shield of solid fire around himself and got into a fighting stance. Raven phased from the ground silently behind him and flew towards him wrapping her arms around his stomach and bringing him to the ground. He rolled on the ground and kicked her off with his feet tossing her effortlessly into the air. She flew into the lake. The team all stood to see if their team mate had hurt herself for she was not resurfacing. The air grew deadly silent, then with an explosion of water Raven shot out of the lake her eyes glowing a clear white. She was dripping from head to toe with water making her leotard stick to her even more than usual and her suit had a tear on the right side of her abdomen letting them glance her lean stomach. Using Kyzein's staring to her advantage Raven hurled three boulders the size of elephants at him and then following the rocks flew at the boy her self. Kyzein dodged two of the boulders but the last hit him in the shoulder ripping his shirt also, then he widened his eyes at the sight of a black streak hurdling towards him. Raven punched him right in the face and he skid a good five feet back. This time he did not come back up, he was defeated. Raven smirked at the form of her fallen comrade and when she was certain he was truly not getting back up she walked over to him and offered him a hand up. He accepted it and smiled at her as she pulled him up.

"Well it would seem that I need to practice a little bit more." He looked at their disheveled bodies. She no longer had a cape on and her leotard was dirty with grass some blood and dirt stains. It was ripped in some small areas and of course in one big one where she had landed in the lake. He was no better off, his red shirt ripped and cut and stained with blood and dirt. They both had bruises and cuts in various spots on their body. H then looked to the ground of the island surrounding them and had to hold back a laugh. In many places the ground was cracked skid marks where they had landed littered the grass and about three craters were in the earth.

"It would seem that we made a bit of a mess in all our fun." She just smiled at him and then looked to her team mates who were surrounding her to congratulating her left and right. All except for Robin who stood off to the side watching the dark haired girl. As the team filed in the tower to go in and take a much needed shower the leader of the teen Titans called over their guest. He needed to talk to him.

After all of the team had gone inside Robin opened his mouth to speak.

"That was quite a fight you put up back there. I didn't even know Raven could fight that well."

"It would seem that there is a lot you don't know about her." Kyzein said calmly, watching Robin quietly.

"I suppose so" Robin whispered, more to himself than to anyone else. "That's one reason I wanted to talk to you. As leader of the Teen Titans I want you to know I care very much for my team mates, and trust them all. But I just find it curious why Raven has never mentioned you in the past before. She's had plenty of opportunity." I will find out what you're doing here. And I will make you leave.

"Well, we all have skeletons in our closet, do we not?" Kyzein asked innocently, his green eyes sparkling. "I'm sure there are lots of aspects of her past that Raven chooses not to tell this team. And that is probably a wise decision on her part. Do you suspect me of something Robin?" He watched Robin's mask widen slightly, surprise written all over his face. "Did I do something to make you suspicious of me?"

"I am suspicious of all who call themselves 'friends'. In the past they have to tended to be… unloyal and to betray us. Why should you be any different?" I do not trust you. Nor do I like you. Why should I when she seems so interested in you in just two days when I have not caught the slightest bit of attention from her in the last six years?

Kyzein seemed to find this interesting. "Well I shall tell you straight up that I am not here to betray of deceive any of you. I would not hurt Raven in such a way. And to tell you the truth I find it more than slightly offensive that you would think of me in such a way Robin."

"You can never be too careful. Also, if there's something you're not telling me Kyzein, anything at all, I suggest you tell me now while you have the chance so I won't have to use it against you when and of course if you betray us." He waited a while to see if the boy would voice anything. He didn't. "Well Kyzein, that's it. But I just want you to know, that you may have gained the trust of the rest of the team. And even of the ever suspicious Raven, but I'm still watching you. If you so much as look at her wrong, I'll make it so you'll never see the light of day again. Got that?"

Kyzein stared straight into Robin's bottomless mask, furious of the fact that he think he'd do something so horrible. "You've nothing to worry about bird boy. And the same goes to you to. And yes, that is a threat." With that he stalked off into the tower his eyes blazing. Robin stared after him then when he was sure he was gone the masked fighter looked to the ground where the alien had stood. There was a dark scorch mark embedded into the earth.

"Oh yes mister Kyzein. I shall have to keep a very special eye on you lest you steal away my pretty little bird….." Then the teen slowly walked into the giant 'T'.

A.N.

That was my try at a fighting scene, did it go ok? If not feel free to tell me. Constructive criticism or flames. Sorry if I made Robin seem like a jerk, all part of the larger plan.

If I don't get at least eight reviews I'm terminating this story. Understood? Great! Well tell me what you think about or want in the story. If you want me to tell you something or add something to future chapters in the story I will do my personal best to full fill your wishes.

Love,
