Chapter 1: No Longer

"Mom?" Came a quiet voice that could match her mother's as a slender, dark haired girl ascended the stairs of their three story house. Her dark eyes adjusted to the darkness as she opened the door to her parents' bedroom.

Ren looked to the bed first, making out the distinct of her mothers' pale form. Her health had rapidly decreased over the months since her father had disappeared. No one knew where he was or what had happened to him. He had simply disappeared.

With a small sigh, the sixteen year old went to the window and pulled open the heavy drapes to let some sunshine in. Although physically looking like her mother, the girl took more after her father. Her brother on the other hand looked more like their father but his personality was that of his mother's, calm and quiet.

Ren heard the sound of the door downstairs opening and closing, knowing Jay had returned from his trip to see their aunt and uncle to see if they had any information about their father.

The teenager's attention was drawn back to her mother who was perched up against the head board, her legs and waist covered with a blanket as she stared at the wall infront of her.

"Mom, you need to come downstairs and eat. If you want I'll bring you something." Ren said trying to get a reaction out of her mother, but receiving none. Ren was slowly loosing the stability she had always had with her mother. Raven was no longer the smiling person she had become. She was no longer talking with her children. She was no longer the woman everyone had come to know over the past ten years. She was only a shell of the person she had been two months ago.

"Ren? Mom? Are you up here?" Came a calm almost quiet voice as Jay ascended the stairs carrying a tray of food. He saw his twins' expression and knew he wouldn't be able to get his mother to drink or eat anything. It was hurting them both to see their mother like this. It was even harder now because the only people they had to rely on for support since their father's disappearance, was eachother.

"Mom, I brought you some food. If you want some…" Jay said as he sat down on the bed next to his mother, and set the tray on her lap. He couldn't help but notice the dark rings under her dull eyes. The only sign she was even alive was the small rise and fall of her chest.

Hearing Ren sigh from behind him, the dark haired boy stood and followed his sister from the room.

"She's getting worse." Ren said in a hoarse voice. If she cried now, she was afraid she'd lose all of the control she had on the situation. "Any news from Uncle B or Aunt Terra?" Ren asked as she walked with her back down the stairs and into the living room.

"No, not yet. They have everyone looking. They said they were going to find out if Cy had found anything or if any of Bee's connections have heard anything. If she doesn't improve, we might have to admit her to the hospital. She hasn't eaten in days." Jay replied, his pained eyes showing what his voice would not.

"I know." Ren replied as they sat down on the couch.

"Where could Dad have gone?" Jay asked no one in particular. The question had been haunting all three of the people living in the house, but only two would ask it.

"I don't know, but we have to do a sweep of the city. I'm sure Marina can keep an eye on Mom while we're out." Ren said as she went up to her room to change into her 'hero' costume.

Jay followed a few moments later, going to change into his own. When they met upstairs, they both simultaneously headed for the roof.

Ren and Jay had both had their own costumes to keep people from noticing them, since both attended Jump City Community High School. Ren wore a black tank top, and black leather pants, along with a simple black mask that covered her face, except for her eyes and mouth. Jay had on a dark blue long sleeved shirt and black pants similar to his twins' and a dark blue mask like hers as well.

They seemed the perfect hero's. Even though all that they did was patrol the city when their parents could not.

They had gone out that night to patrol the city. They had gone out, not expecting to find the person they most wanted to find. They had not gone out, expecting to meet the person they did. They had not gone out, meeting for the first time, a person they had only heard mentioned when their parents talked of the past.

What they did not most expect to find that night, was an old enemy. Their parents' enemy. Their enemy. Everyone's enemy.


Ren had gone to patrol the north end of the city where the docks were, while Jay went to the south end to patrol the neighborhoods and stores.


Plopping down on a crate, Ren yawned. It was near one a.m., and she had felt as if someone had been following her for a long while. She hadn't been able to find or see him when she had looked, but she could feel his eyes on her now.

So, Ren had decided to bore her stalker as she lazily reclined against a pile of crates waiting to be loaded onto a ship. Her telekinetic and flying capabilities had allowed her to land safely and quietly on top of the two story pile of crates.

A pair of green eyes watched her from the shadows, a small smirk upon the stalker's face. He had been following her for about two hours, watching her stop a robbery in progress and due her rounds of the dock area. She was unique, like himself, but he wasn't about to reveal himself to her just yet. He knew she knew he was their, and chuckled to himself as she sat their lazily.

Definitely a smart one, he thought to himself as he watched her yawn and lean back against a crate behind her. Although he did not know her name, he wanted to meet her in person, but was afraid she'd think him a villain, which would not be a good thing. He knew her parents though, if only by reputation. Raven and Robin. The most unlikely pair everyone had said.

Suddenly, his attention was caught to a loud, unexpected explosion from under the crates that sent them all flying and toppling to the ground, throwing Ren in the process. Only her ability to fly kept her from becoming friendly with the pavement below.

Landing lightly on her feet, she took up a defensive position, as her eyes scanned for the person who had set off the explosive. It might be her stalker, but he had had hours to attack her, why wait until now. No, this was the work of a villain.

Cold, metallic laughter rang through the air, and Ren narrowed her eyes, as a man stepped from the shadows. His face was nothing but a metal helmet, and his body was a mere costume of orange and black. She had heard of him. She had been told he was dead.

"You're Slade…" Ren whispered as she took another step back, readying herself for anything. She desperately wished that her calm and calculating other half was there, but of course not. He was on the complete other side of town, leaving her to deal with the psychotic killing freak who just didn't know how to die.

"And you're the little love bird's chick aren't you?" He mocked, and obvious smile on his face. "Why don't you fly back to your nest little birdy, the big boys don't play nice." He laughed again.

Without warning and before she could reply, he tossed a black disk at her. She did a back flip, dodging it, but was surprised to see another one flying directly at her. A flash of black crossed her vision and the disk disappeared. She followed the black object and to her wonder, it was a man. Her stalker. She recognized his presence immediately as the one who had been following her. He had just saved her from who knows what.

The black disk was in his hand, and short circuiting as they watched him. He was no older than Ren, and he was grinning mischievously at her, which sent a blush to her face.

"Who the hell are you?" Slade drawled out, bored.

"None of your business." The man replied as he threw the malfunctioning weapon to the floor.

Slade groaned. He hadn't expected two opponents. Oh well, he'd just have more fun.

About to draw another weapon, a beep resounded from his belt, and groaned again. Duty called.

"Sorry little love birds, but we'll have to continue this later. Duty calls." With that, he threw a bomb at Ren who shielded herself and the strange man. When the dust cleared, Slade was gone. That was their first encounter.

Turning to her rescuer, she set a glare upon her face. "Who the hell are you?" She muttered, obviously annoyed.

"I keep getting that, am I really that annoying?" He asked, his green eyes smiling at her as his face did the same.

Ren was in no mood for jokes, and her eye twitched involuntarily as she took a few steps toward him and glared up at him. He was a full five inches taller than her small form, and she hated it. She had always hated having to look up at people.

"I'll tell you my name, if you tell me yours." He smiled seductively, which made her glare harden.

"You first." She ground out through clenched teeth.

"Alright. My name's Black Tiger. And yours?" he asked sweetly.

"Wren." She replied, not even bothering to hide the annoyance in her voice.

"My, my, my, the Tiger has found his prey." He grinned.

"Pervert." Ren muttered before turning on her heel and stomping off a few feet, trying to control her temper. What a jerk.

"You can call me Ty little lady." He said from behind her.

Spinning around, she for once took a good look at him as he smiled down at her, enjoying her obvious resentment.

'Ty', was wearing a completely black outfit like her own, but he wore a black trench coat over his, and he didn't bother concealing his face from the world. His green eyes made him look handsome, especially with his midnight black hair. He looked familiar, as if Ren had seen him before but couldn't place it.

Rolling her eyes, the dark haired girl shot up into the air without another word and disappeared.

"Huh…" Ty mused to himself. "That went…uh…well." He smiled to himself. He'd be seeing her soon. Tomorrow especially since it was Monday. The first day of the week, also the first day of school for another five days. He would enjoy her reaction tomorrow, and he was counting on her behavior to be just as explosive.


Jay was getting bored. Nothing unusual had happened and was going to call it a night, but he had thought he heard his father's voice on the street below. It seemed odd, but then again, he probably imagined it after not seeing his father for over two months.

Deciding to check it out anyways, the young empath landed in an alley and peered out. What he saw nearly made him question his sanity. There was his father, walking with a tall, skinny red head that he immediately recognized from a picture of all of the Teen Titans.

What was her name? St… Stacy? No. Sara? No. Star Fire! That's it! He spoke to himself in his mind. Without a second thought he stepped into their path. Immediately the couple stopped and looked at him.

"Dad…What are you doing? Where have you been? Mom's sick." Jay said, his calm face not revealing the inner turmoil that his eyes did.

"Excuse me?" Robin spoke, a confused look on his face. "I'm sorry kid, but I don't have any children." He said as he looked at Jay's costume and immediately thought the kid was a nut case.

"You're Star Fire right?" Jay asked turning to the red head. "You were friends with my mom and the other Teen Titans ten years ago. Tell him who I am. It's Jay. You helped rescue me and my sister from AfterShock." Jay said, anxiety taking over his features.

"I'm sorry dear, I haven't the slightest idea what you're talking about." She said giving an obviously fake and disgustingly sweet smile.

"But you're from Tamaran." Jay sputtered, his eyes widening at her behavior. She knew who he was. She knew who she was with. She knew why Robin didn't know his own son. She was totally pissing him off.

"You want to play it that way? I don't know what you did to my father, but as soon as my mother, Raven, finds out, you're so toast. Cyborg, Bumble Bee, Terra, and BeastBoy as well will be making sure you're done. Whatever you did to him…" Jay spoke, his tone icy and cold, "I will find out and reverse it." With that, he jump into the air and flew directly to his aunt and uncle's house. They'd know what to do. He'd call Ren's cell from there, and they would find out what had happened to their father.

It was only a matter of time.


Okay folks…what'd ya think? Ty's obviously got a crush on Ren. Star's back with a vengeance. Slade's just back to get his ass kicked. Raven's gonna eventually figure things out and kick Star's little Tamaranian ass back to the planet she came from…-kills Star- DIE!...meep….Hope you liked it…I'll add the first chap to the other story I was talking about tomorrow…shit…two hours past my bed time…I dunno why I still have one…if you don't hear from me, I'm most likely gonna be grounded so I hope you enjoyed this incredible sacrifice that I made for all of you.
