Author Notes: I like to update daily but lately I've been having personal problems and college is also starting back in a week and I have a lot of stuff to prepare therefore updates probably will be like once a week or two weeks.

I don't know if Slade has regenerating powers in the animated series come to think of it… he does 'die' in the series hmm anyways I won't confuse myself with that. In my story he has powers similar to those of his comic counterpart. So if you want to know everything about Deathstroke 'Slade Wilson' from the comic…it's easy…go to and type in his name, both are above. And people don't go ragging on me when Raven acts all OC she has lost control of her emotions, so one minute she can be smiling, the next she's angry, sad...etc Ah well on with the story!

Chapter Three

Raven jumped as the door to her room flew open and banged against the wall with force. She closed the book she had been sitting on the bed reading and looked up at the intruder.

"What gave you the right to interfere with my plans?" Slade growled. You couldn't see his facial expression but his eye revealed enough, he was pissed. "I offered you my help and this is how you repay me?"

Raven's eyes narrowed and she stood to her feet. "I don't recall agreeing that I would let you destroy Jump City or hurt my friends."

"Of course, hurting your friends is your job."

Raven's eyes flashed red and before Slade knew it he was being pinned to the wall by Raven's powers. "Don't you ever say that again, I would never hurt my friends willingly."

"What are you going to do Raven? Kill me? Then who will help you control your emotions?"

Raven pushed the energy forward causing it to squeeze Slade against the wall. "I've been here for more than twenty-four hours and I haven't seen you do anything to help."

"Patience Raven."

"I lost all of my patience when I lost control." Even with that remark she released her hold on him.

Slade grimaced at his release and held a hand over his ribs, even now his regeneration powers were working, healing the bruises. He looked at Raven. How dare she attack him? He closed his eye and took deep breaths to control his rage. Then without a word he left the room.

Raven watched him leave and sighed in relief. Really what did he expect her to do? Sit around and watch him destroy the city and her friends? Her mind flashed back to the battle. All of the Titans were present except Beast Boy he was probably still recovering from her attack. She shook her head and decided not to think about it.


"Was that really Rae?"

"Of course it was Cyborg, who else has powers like that?" Robin said. The image of Raven was still freshly invented in his mind. When their eyes had met all he could see was sadness in the depths of her lavender eyes and then she disappeared.

"Then why did she leave?" Starfire was clearly upset. "Does she not want to be our friends anymore?"

Robin sighed. "Raven will always be our friend and teammate she just needs time to sort out her emotions. We need to focus on catching Slade."

"I hate to admit it but Robin's right when Raven's ready to come back she will until then we can't force her at least we know that she's alright and still kicking bad guys butts!"

"Are we going to tell Beast Boy that we saw friend Raven?"

Cyborg and Robin looked at each other.

"I think we should." Robin said. "He seems really worried about her even after what she did to him."

"Yeah BB always had a soft spot for Rae."

Robin raised his eyebrow at Cyborg's remark but said nothing. Starfire just looked clueless not understanding the Earthling term 'soft spot'.


"Azarath Metrion-" Raven stopped chanting and dropped her floating frame unto the bed. Meditating wasn't helping, due to the fact that she couldn't concentrate. Her thoughts were being consumed by Beast Boy, The Titans and worse of all Slade. She frowned as the man came across her mind.

"Miss Raven." A soft voice said from outside her room.

Raven turned and looked at her door curiously. It couldn't possibly be Slade, normally he would just open the door and walk into her room not caring much for her privacy. She got off of the bed and walked to the door willing her powers to open it. She wasn't surprise to see Slade's 'servant' standing in front of her.

"Miss Raven," Wintergreen repeated. "Master Slade has requested your presence."

She sighed she really didn't want another confrontation with the man but she knew she couldn't deny his 'request' after all she was a guest in his house. "Take me to him."

Wintergreen bowed his head. "Of course," he said then led her down the hallway.

Raven's eye flickered from door to the door as they walked till finally her eyes rested on the unusual door that she had tried to open before. Her heart began to race and she didn't know why. Perhaps it was the thought of finding out what was kept hidden behind the door. "Wintergreen."

"Yes miss?"

"Why must the contents of this room be kept a secret?" Raven asked as they were about to pass the mysterious door.

Wintergreen paused in front of the door giving Raven hope that he was going to open it. Her hopes dropped when he turned and looked at her. "Master Slade will reveal the room to you if he wishes too but know this my master was not always the person you see before you today, he was once a kind and gentle manbut now he keeps his pleasures and pains to himself." Wintergreen said.

Raven scoffed at the thought of Slade being kind and gentle. It was absolutely impossible that such a heartless villain could be once kind and gentle.

Without another word Wintergreen proceeded to lead her down a flight of stairs and down another hallway until they reached a door completely made from some type of metal. Wintergreen bowed his head in respect and left her standing in front of the door alone.

Raven pondered if she should open the door. What would await her inside? Slade might still be angry at her for attacking him and might try to attack her as soon as she opened the door. She finally decided not to open the door but to phase through it and that was what she did.

Her small feet landed on the ground with a soft thud as she appeared on the other side of the door. The room she had entered was dimly lit and she could barely make out her own hands in front of her so it was pretty difficult to see the Slade's form standing in front of her.

"You know Raven," Slade started before she could say anything. "I offered to help you because I had been watching you for while and you are your powers intrigued me."

"So you were stalking me?" Raven was angry. How dare he invade the privacy of her life!

Slade ignored her comment. "It will take me two weeks to help you," he continued. Two weeks to gain your trust then use it to destroy the Titans. He thought to himself.

Raven eyed him for a moment before replying. "Two weeks…fourteen days…if nothing is accomplished in these two weeks, I'm turning you over to the Titans." She threatened. "I'll even let Robin have you one on one."

Slade walked closer to her. "Is that a threat?" he asked. "Of course it is," he chuckled answering his own question.

Raven frowned at his chuckling.

"In order for you to have full control of your emotions and powers you must feel the one emotion that you have avoided all your life." Slade said. He then reached out with one of his hands and pulled her close to him.

Raven gasps in shock and looks up at his face only to realize that he is not wearing his mask. However, his face is still shrouded by darkness and she can just make out silvery, white strands of hair falling unto his face as he looked at her.

"Are you afraid, Raven?" Her name rolled of his tongue easily.

Raven could feel his breath tickling her face as he breathed. "I'm never afraid."

"Good," he mumbled before his other hand wrapped around her tiny waist and pulled her even closer causing her tiny body to press up against his larger frame.

Raven's heart began to pound in her chest. What was he doing?

Then the villain did the unthinkable he pressed his lips against Raven's forehead.

Raven's eyes widened when Slade pressed his lips against her forehead. It felt strange having his cold yet oddly soft lips touching her gently…almost lovingly. Her cheeks became tinted in red.

Slade kept his arms around her for more than two minutes before he released her and let his arms dropped lazily to his sides.

Raven blinked and looked at him confused. Did that just happen? He kissed me…

"I will not be eating dinner with you tonight I have business to attend to. I'll make sure Wintergreen brings you something to eat."

Raven's confusion turned to hurt then suspicion. Hurt because he had acted like nothing occurred just now and suspicion because the last time he said he had business to take care of, his business involved attacking her friends.

Slade noticed her suspicious looks. "Sweet, Raven I'm not going to attack the Titans again" he assured her. "I've already done that today and I didn't accomplish anything, why waste my resources?"

Sweet…? Raven bit her bottom lip. Nobody had ever used such affectionate terms with her. Not even her mother.

"Goodnight Raven."

She stared at him for a while before leaving and returning to her room. Once she was back in the privacy of her room and she made sure to lock the door she collapsed on the bed and placed a hand over her chest. She could feel her heart still racing and her cheeks were still slightly red yet she felt unusually calm.

"Slade…my first kiss," she murmured to herself. Fourteen days of his help, fourteen days till she had full control and fourteen days till she turned him over to the Teen Titans. Then what Wintergreen had said flashed across her mind. My master was not always the person you see before you today, he was once a kind and gentle man but now he keeps his pleasures and pains to himself.

"Even if he helps me, he's still a villain and it's the right thing to do." She reassured herself before opening the book she had been reading when Slade busted into her room earlier. She turned the page and a square piece of paper fluttered from the book.

Raven blinked in surprise before she took up the paper only to see the letters 'AKW' scratched in pen on the back, the same letters as the ones on the mysterious door! She quickly flipped the paper over and she gasped at what she saw.

Facing her on the paper which was obviously a photograph was a woman with long curly brown hair that fell over her shoulders in waves. Her brown eyes seemed to be lit up with joy and to further show her joy her lips were curved up in a big smile.

One thing was on Raven's mind. Who is she?


I apologize if it's to short or for any mistakes, I'm kind of not really all that focused but I got it finished. If you see anything wrong just leave it in a review and I'll go over the chapter again. And about Raven's first kiss thing…a kiss on the forehead may not stand as a 'kiss' in some people's books but hey Raven's never been kissed on the hand, cheek or anywhere else for that matter, so it's technically her first kiss.
