Author Notes: Too clear up something before you read. The Titans do not know Terra in anyway. Terra has had no sort of contact with the villain Slade….yet..

heavens pillar- Thanks for the reviews it helps boost my morale. Just seeing people whose stories really don't make sense getting tons of reviews saying 'Oh it's great please continue!' and I get about 5 or so is a real blow to my ego. Hmm maybe I should change my style of writing.. I'll continue writing but this will probably be my first and last story in this section. Enough of my ranting. I have to bring Terra into the story she's there for a very very important reason. Btw AIM AOL Instant Messenger )

Shadow290 – Thanks for the review.

d- Thanks

Chapter Four

"Raven?" Robin said with uncertainty in his voice. The other Titans had finally put Cinderblock down for the count and rushed to stand next to their leader.

Slade climbed to his feet. "The new and improve Raven."

"What did you do to her!" Beast Boy asked.

"I did nothing, she came to me willingly"

Cyborg glared at Slade. "Rae would never betray us."

"On the contrary she did betray you, for me." Slade said.

Robin couldn't believe what was happening. It was all his fault that Raven had been captured, it was all his fault that she had been manipulated by Slade. His fault…

"You are lying!" Starfire said as her eyes became green and energy began to gather in her fists. "And I do not like liars." She angrily fired a starbolt and Slade and gasped when a black and white energy shield appeared in front of him protecting him from the blast. Another set of black energy encased itself around the can next to Starfire and sent it flying at the girl. Starfire gasped and quickly fired another starbolt this time destroying the can.

All of the Titans' eyes turned to Raven as the shield in front of Slade disappeared. She had protected Slade, their sworn enemy and even attacked another Titan. She

really was working for Slade. Raven had betrayed them. The whole team could see Slade gloating in triumph.

"Now Raven, destroy the Titans…" Slade ordered as he backed away from the angry teens slowly.

Raven did not reply to this order she merely held up both of her hands each glowing with dark energy.

"Raven, stop we're your friends!" Cyborg shouted.

Raven did not stop, in fact she clenched her teeth and concentrated on the support beams in the roof. "I don't have any friends." Raven's voice seemed colder than usual.

"Look out!" Robin exclaimed as Raven's power ripped away the last support beam and the roof began to crumble and break apart. He barely had time to see Raven and Slade disappear into darkness.

"RAVEN!"

"I can't believe Raven attacked us." Beast Boy said as he wrapped a bandage around his arm. "I knew she was creepy but evil too.."

The Titans had survived the roof cave in thanks to Starfire and Beast Boy who had held up the debris, the latter had transformed into a gigantic gorilla.

Cyborg glared at Beast Boy, "Raven's not evil."

"So why did she attack us?" Starfire said. "Did we do something wrong to her?" She just couldn't understand why her dear friend, Raven had attacked her and the rest of the team.

"No we didn't do anything wrong, Raven's the one who did something wrong" Robin frowned. "She's the one working for Slade."

"So what are you saying? Raven's the bad guy now?"

"Cyborg, I'm just saying that she's working for Slade."

"Please!" Starfire said. "We must not fight amongst ourselves, we should be finding a way to get Raven back."

Cyborg looked at Robin. "She's right, I'm sorry man."

Robin forced a small grin. "It's okay Cyborg, now let's get back to the matter at hand, why is Raven working for Slade?"

"Maybe she's being brainwashed?" Beat Boy offered his opinion.

Cyborg rolled his eyes. "Raven's mind is too strong to get brainwashed, she meditates everyday."

Beast Boy pouted at his idea behind shot down by Cyborg.

Robin thought for a moment. "Beast Boy could be right, Slade has his ways of manipulating even those with the strongest of minds and I think I saw something strange on Raven's head, maybe that's what's brainwashing her" He said. He had his countless encounters with the villain called Slade so he knew just what he was capable off.

"We shall unbrainwash her then." Starfire's eyes held determination.

"We have to find her first."

Cyborg nodded. "BB's right, she probably dumped the communicator by now so we can't track her by using that anymore."

"Slade's up to something so I'm sure he and Raven will show up soon enough."

"Right, and when they do we're going to get our girl back."

"Good work Raven." Slade praised his new apprentice. In his hand he held a small communicator with a 'T' imprinted on the front. He knew this was how the Titans had found them and the confrontation went just perfect so he had no need for them to discover them again…yet. He would destroy the device later.

Raven's eyes lowered to the ground. "Thank you." She felt so strange accepting praise from this man. And just who were those people? Slade had called them the Teen Titans, she didn't know them so why did they call her their friend?

Slade's eyes narrowed as he gazed at Raven. "You seem distracted apprentice."

"I was just wondering about those people, the Titans….they seem to know me but I don't remember them."

Slade frowned. He couldn't lose her, not yet. "It was all a trick, to distract you, they fear your powers Raven." He told her as he moved towards a table covered with bottle and several tools. "They fear you." One of his armored hands touched a syringe.

Raven stared at Slade. Was that what she really wanted? For people to fear her?

"Robin?"

Robin did not have to turn around to know who the voice belonged too. "Yeah Starfire?" he answered as he looked at the starry night sky. The roof always gave a beautiful view.

Starfire floated next to him and looked up at the stars. "I did not get chance to thank you for aiding me in the battle against Cinderblock."

"It was nothing," said Robin as he turned and walked away.

"It was something, to me" Starfire whispered to herself as she watched Robin walked away.

"Today Raven we will work on your hand-to-hand combat." Slade's hands were behind his back as he led the girl into a small room which held nothing but an array of weapons.

"Aren't my powers strong enough?" Raven asked.

"Your powers are strong dear Raven but what if you're forced into a hand-to-hand battle? Then what?"

Raven shivered. She would never get used to his cold voice.

"We will start with the basics, attack me."

"What?" She said not sure that she had heard him right.

"I said attack me without using your powers."

Raven nodded and crouched into a fighting stance while Slade just stood there with a mocking smirk on his face.

"What are you waiting for? Strike!"

Raven's cape swayed with her movements as she gritted her teeth and swung her tiny fist at Slade , she, however was shocked when the man grabbed her fist and easily twisted her hand behind her back so that he was now standing behind her.

"You're moving far too slow. Do you really expect to defeat the Titans with such pitiful attacks?" the man whispered coldly into her ear.

She was breathing hard now and cringed as the heat from his breath tickled her ear. "The Titans are gone, I defeated them last night."

"Humph, on the contrary the Titans are alive and well, you merely bruised there egos." Slade released his hold on her then pushed her away from him. He watched as she stumbled forward and fell to the ground. "Now get up and fight."

"Give it up Dr. Light!"

Dr. Light grinned. "Or what!" He released a wave of pure light energy from his suit causing the four Teen Titans to scatter.

"This would be so much easier if Raven was here." Beast Boy whined. Three days had passed and they hadn't seen Raven since there last confrontation with her.

"Well she's not." Robin took out his staff and spun it in his hands. "Titans Go!"

I wish she was. Beast Boy thought before he transformed into a cheetah and ran towards Dr. Light using his speed in this form to avoid any blasts. He then jumped into the air and while over the villains head he used his powers to transform into a hippopotamus.

Dr. Light's eyes widened and he quickly scurried out of the way as the hippopotamus landed in the street. He then fired a beam of light at the animal causing it to slide about 50 meters down the street.

"Ow" Beast Boy said as he returned to normal and rubbed his sore butt he looked back towards Dr. Light to see the villain cleverly avoiding Starfire's starbolts then retaliating with an attack of his own which stunned the red-haired alien and caused her to drop to the ground.

Dr. Light walked towards the fallen Tamaran as she struggled to get up. "Now you shall all see the true power of Dr. Light!" he shouted as his hands began to gather the pure energy. However, before he even got chance to release his blast the ground beneath him started to shake and crack until he was lifted off of the ground on a piece of the street. The villain's eyes widened in shock and he allowed the energy in his hands to disappear. "What type of trickery is this?" he spat.

"My type!"

Dr. Light spun around when he heard the voice behind him only to be hit in the face by a piece of the street. He slumped down unconscious.

"Woah.." Cyborg said.

The Titans turned and looked up the street to see where the voice had originated from and gasped. Standing not to far from them was a girl who looked to be around their ages. She had long dark blonde hair and had blue eyes. She wore short blue jeans, a long sleeved light grey shirt which reached her elbows and over that she wore a black and dark grey shirt. On her hands she wore brown gloves which seemed to be much to big for her.

The girl grinned. "Hi!"

Next chapter will deal with a little Terra-Teen Titan bonding and Raven and Slade's odd relationship it will sort of reveal how he's keeping her under his thumb. Oh and their relationship won't be 'love' it'll be more of an infatuation.
