A/N- lovelies I'm back, err I wasn't gone but you know. OK I'm writing this before I write the pro err epilogue GAH! Of lost and found. But don't worry its in the works I just had to get the ground work lain for this. Fair warning. My lovelies already know about my long run on sentences. It really cant be helped because I suck at grammar OK this will contain my own characters. A first for me might I add so I don't know how it'll turn out

Disclaimer- checks, nope still don't own them, but if I did I'd let people write fan fiction and not worry about getting sued HA!

She sat atop the Giant T in the bay overlooking the city. It was a beautiful night she was simply enjoying the view rather than meditating as everyone else assumed. She sighed pleasantly as the cool breeze ruffled her hair. He was lying on his bed playing his hand held game station taking a break from his obsessive manhunt. They hadn't heard anything from their biggest foe in ages. He could relax for now. He had after all been threatened with bodily harm if he didn't. He wouldn't dare ignore the dark sorceress's threat, no promise. So he complied he grumbled at first but now he was rather enjoying the release. She had been right he was worrying himself into a stupor. He'd never admit that to her though. He knew of course she already knew.

Raven and Robins communicators went off and out of sheer instinct they flipped them open. Both of their faces fell as they saw who was on the other end. Not the usual beeping dot indicating where in the city the trouble was, rather it was their long time foe.

"Slade" they both spat with venomous infliction from their respective positions in the tower

"Good to see you too Raven and Robin, is that any way to great an old friend?" his signature chilling yet airy and proper voice sang. Slade was in a good mood, this didn't bode well Raven decided.

"TITANS" Robin began and was sharply cut off by Slade

"ROBIN I wouldn't do that if I were you. This is simply between us three. You. Me and Raven" he droned sending a chill down Robins' spine somehow he could sense something was off

"What do you want?" Raven growled, not bothering hiding her irritation. Perfectly good night ruined she thought to herself again.

"Just tell us what you're up to so we can stop you already" Robin demanded. Slade simply chuckled a bone chilling laugh Raven didn't like it one bit.

"What makes you think I'm up to something? Perhaps I have an offer for the two of you. One you wont dare refuse" Slades tone revealed he was rather pleased with himself.

"Were not buying slade" Robin spat

"Oh but you see my dear apprentice. You are going to accept these offers both of you are. If you don't then it's no skin off of my nose. I'll simply kill them. Or use them to defeat you either way I win" slade propped his head up on his hand the effect was eerie.

"Kill who? Let them go" Raven found herself ordering the masked mad man.

"You two can save them, come here" the screen changed the familiar blip on a map of the city "you have 10 minutes to or else I end their lives, they cant save themselves after all, they're only babies after all. Oh and don't inform the other Titans if you do I'll know and" with that he ended the transmission effectively making his point.

Raven and Robin were both paled. Their mouths agape, Slade had stooped to kidnapping? Robin was on the roof within seconds with a nod they were enveloped in Ravens dark energy and they appeared in front of an old abandoned factory

"What is it with villans and abandoned factories?" Raven deadpanned annoyance apparent.

"Shhhhh" Robin hissed out as he noticed some movement in the buildings dimly lit interior.

"Ahhh good of you to come" Slades voice came from behind them they both jumped and fell easily into their defensive stances. Robin had his Bo staff at ready and Ravens hands glowed in shimmering black energy.

"Ah, ah, ah, wouldn't want to wake them" it was then that The two birds noticed slade holding the two infants no older than a few weeks old each. Newborns. Some mother must be going insane right about now Raven caught herself thinking.

"Follow me inside and do put your toys away" with that Slade headed inside the building Raven and Robins' eyes met and they nodded to each other in agreement. No matter what no harm must come to the infants. They followed mutely scared of doing anything to anger slade and endanger the babies. Once inside they found Slade sitting between two bassinettes. One rimmed in pale blue lace the other a pale pink. He had a hand on each cradle. And if you could have seen behind his mask you would have seen the smirk on his face. Slade spoke in a hushed tone so as to not wake the babes.

"good of you to join our little family. Come closer"

the heroes did as they were instructed both sweating bullets.

"Now each of you will pick up one of the infants, oh and no funny stuff. I have explosives all over the building and if you run I wont hesitate to use them. Understood"

they both nodded.

"Good" Slades airy eerie voice sounded like a chill wind

Once the two birds had a baby in their arms respectively slade stood and placing a hand on each of their shoulders he forced Raven and Robin together so they were shoulder to well head raven being the good 6 inches shorter than the long dark haired man beside her. Slade walked in front of the four and stood in his signature pose. Hands behind his back, the glint in his eye was irritating Raven to no end. Cocking his head he stretched his hands out and placed one on each babies head. Children say hello to mommy and daddy

"What" her whisper could have been a scream but she dared not wake the children

"You're insane" Robin stated flatly "return these babies to their parents" he demanded in a whisper just as Raven had done

"Oh but I already have" Slades cool tone was infuriating the boy wonder. The babies began to fuss "look down at them they have your eyes Raven, your nose Robin, and their hair is a perfect mixture of ebony and lavender, now who has lavender hair anyways" slade was mocking The small boy in Ravens arms opened his eyes and Raven gasped they were her eyes staring right back up at her. The infant girl in Robin's arms did likewise and his reaction was a hushed "no"

"Ah yes the joys of cloning and genetics" slade mused to himself "you remember our last encounter about 10 months ago I imagine, I managed to bloody up the both of you quite nicely. You provided plenty of genetic material to make my new apprentices

"You will not touch my children" Ravens voice was filled with rage and she found herself ready to defend the babes to the death. She was a mother now she had a duty to protect her family, she could sense slade was telling the truth Robin echoed her sentiment by handing her the infant in his arms and extending his bo staff to full length

"DROP it, while that's all very touching one step forward and we'll see if you really have a bouncing baby boy. Slade pulled out a small device and pushed a button beeping was heard from somewhere close. Realization hit Robin hard and he rushed to Raven and hurriedly uncovered the babies they had ankle bracelets on. Laced with explosives. Robin had never been so enraged he had to protect his children. Where did that come from oh well he'd have to worry about that later

"YOU'RE A MAD MAN" he didn't bother keeping his voice down this time slade simply chuckled

"There's a find line between genius and insanity they say. Now for your decisions" slade cooed

"What decisions" Raven spat

"its quite simple really, either join me both of you and become my apprentices or I kill junior and little miss junior over there, they'll go out with a bang." He laughed menacingly as all baddies tend to do when they have a foolproof plan

There was no question, Raven and Robin nodded

"We will join you, just let us take the babies somewhere safe, please" Raven pleaded

"Fine as long as it isn't the titans tower then take them where you will. Be back in 30 minutes or I activate their jewelry." He said in an oh too casual way

Raven enveloped them in her energy and they all appeared in the middle of Wayne manor Bruce nearly fell out of his recliner when they materialized in his living room

"What's the meaning of this?" he demanded soon enough the whole story was lain for Bruce and they babies were left in his care. Raven let a few tears slip as she transported herself and Robin back to their now master. It was agreed Bruce would write the Titans and tell them what happened, none would look for the two missing birds and if the worst scenario should rear its ugly head they would all fight raven and robin with everything they had.

A/N pretty original plot huh? This will be heavily integrated with the batman beyond series timeline wise and will focus on the twins more than the parents. Well please review since at this point saying read and review is a bit pointless right? I mean I would assume you had read if you review. Questions comments and threads of random animals at my doorstep gratefully accepted flames keep my feet warm
