In Love and War

"How about fighting with someone real. I would like to beat my old man," said Jay.

"I'm not old yet," reply Robin.

"The rules are simply no weapons. Just hand on hand combat."

"Fine," they drop their belts beside them.

"Ready," Jay got ready to fight.

"Set," Robin got ready to fight.

"Go!" Jay starts it off with a kick. Robin grabs and spin him around. He was about to fall, but stop himself. Jay kicks Robin at his legs. Robin jump and they jump back a step.

"A father should not fight his own son." Star walks in, as they were about to charge.

"Star, we were just training." Robin put his belt back on and so did Blue Jay. "Jay that was good, I couldn't done it betters myself. You need to be strong to protect those who you care about."

----Flashback----

"Daddy!" A little boy yells.

"Jay, you should be proud to be an older brother," A man figure said placing his hand on his son.

"But, a girl! I wanted a brother!"

"Calm down and come see your mom and sister."

"Ok," the boy mumbles.

"Jay, come over and see your sister," a woman call to the boy.

"She's little." Jay said walking over to the women.

"She will grow. Here hold her, but be careful." Handing the baby to the boy and then braiding her long hair in to a ponytail. "See she like you." The baby cuddles in his arm as she fell a sleep. "She is still weak so you have to be strong to protect her. Promise me you will always protect those who care about no matter what."

"I will."

----Flashback Ends----

"Huh, yeah, I need to find Nightingale. I haven't seen her since this morning."

"We will help you." Robin was about to leave, but he notices something was wrong with Starfire. "Star is something wrong?"

"I want to know are you happy?"

"With what?"

"With me being your future wife and having your kids."

"Star, you are the only person I can every love. I'm happy that one day you will be my wife and have my kids." He walks over to her and kisses her lightly. At first she was shock, but return the kiss. The kiss grows more with passion.

"Lets find Nightingale," she broke away.


"It feels good up here." Raven was alone on the rooftop looking down at the city.

"Nightingale?" Raven turns around to Robin.

"Oh, it you. You and Nightingale look so much alike. Jay is looking for her. Have you seen her?"

"Yeah, she went to bed early. She said she needed to rest." Lowering her head. "Maybe I such let Blue Jay kill me. I hurt so many people, it the less I could do."

"Don't say that… I'm sorry"

"For what?"

"For wanting to destroy you. I should have found another way." He balls up his hands.

"Don't be, it's ok." She turns back around.

"But!" He grabs her arm turning her around and pulling her close to him. Their faces were two inches apart. They started to blush. Then Robin turn her loose her.

"I would have wanted this way."

"Raven, you are good person and promise I won't let any thing happen to you."

"Thanks Robin, for everything." The alarm went off.


Every body went to the site at an old factory.

"I wonder who it is?" BB asks looking around the build.

"Hello there, I miss ya so much." A cold voice went down their spinals. "I see ya brought some new friends." Slade came out from the darkness into the light. "So, have I." He said while and an older Slade pop out from behind him and step into the light.

"I believe we have meet." He said cold.

"It doesn't matter how many there are, because ya all going down," said Robin while charging at the first Slade.

"Robin, I miss you so much, but I am here for a new prize." He knocks Robin to the ground and went to where Raven was.

"Oh, no you don't!" Cyborg attaches with his sonic boom, but Slade dogged it. BB turn into a big bird, Slade throws fire at him and knock him out of the air. Star and Raven attacks him, but he dogged both attacks. Before he got to Raven, Robin knocks him to the ground and fire appeared Slade and was gone.

"Nightingale you are as beautiful as your mother, but you not the one I want." The older Slade said knocking her to the ground and went to Blue Jay. Blue Jay begins to attack. "You fight like your father. Maybe you can me be my apprentice like your father."

"I will never be your apprentice!"

"I see the fire in your eyes like your father. You look and act like your father, but inside you just…like…your…mother…weak." His hand was on fire and he put it on Blue Jay mask.

"Ouch!" He yelled in pain. The other rush over to him and when they got Slade was gone.

"Jay are you ok?" Gale asks blending beside him.

"Yeah. But…" he move his hand from over his face, but only for a second when he replace it Gale gasp she was the only person who saw his face. "Can you take me to the tower?"

"Yes." A black light form around them and they were gone.

"I think we should go too." The leader said.


"Hello, dude." Beast Boy knocks on the door. Gale walks out and closes the door right back behind her.

"He is ok, but his face is still in bad shpe. I can't completely heal it." She said in a soft voice.

"Can we see him," Starfire ask in a worry voice.

"No, He only wants Raven to came so she can finish healing him."

"Oh."

"We can wait in the living room." Robin put his hand on Star's shoulder and everyone walks away so did Gale as Raven walks into the room.

"Who's there?"

"It's me, Raven."

"Oh, come in." She went deeper into the room and close the door behind her. "Do you think you can heal me?"

"I think so." He turns around to face her without his mask. Raven saw his eyes. They were purple…
