A/N at the end of the chapter due to the size of it
Disclaimer- as if these things are really necessary, I own a dead like me bobble head. The Titans and Gothamites are not mine however.
LM22102- Take it easy now, all that suspense can't be good for you. Let me get you a paper bag, I dunno why but in the movies whenever someone hyperventilates they are given a paper bag. Longer chapters? Well I'll try (dunno if my attention span will tolerate it though) I'll do my best not to disappoint you then. Thank you!
Kosmic- I'm not sure I know what you mean by flame. Glad you like the twist. Very perceptive my lovely. I feel the need to hug you
X Acheron X- Why thank you Ash, the mafia huh? I'm scared into writing now LOL that's an evil thing to do you know my demented little lovely (psst I'm afraid of toasters btw) long story if you really must know I'll explain in the next chapters A/N
Shortieluvsgg- Sorry about that GG, you'll see. Actually Tim is the third Robin, Dick is Nightwing. And Jason Todd is the middle robin that gets killed by the joker sad huh?
ELM-Tree10- We have a new lovely in the mix guys! Why thank you, Oh you'll see. And indeed, old bats knows more than he lets on, he always does right? Thank you again
Bunnysquirrel- Oh you'll see my dear bunny you'll see. Confusing? Nah o know what you mean
"What were you thinking? I still have all sorts of loose ends to tie together before we were to join up! I needed that two weeks Slade" Raven was making no move to hide her annoyance
"The apprentice would do well not to question her master" His trademark cool belying no emotion
"You would do well to remember your apprentice could easily send her master into a dimension that makes Trigons realm look like a vacation" She allowed her hand to glow with black energy just to emphasize her point.
Slade was seething mad to put it mildly he hated being questioned let alone threatened by his apprentice
"My dear apprentice, were in this for mutual gain so knock off the 20 questions and listen" He let his voice raise at the end to make himself clear
"All right tell me what the deal is and quickly I have to get back before anything is suspected. Because of your impatience I still have a secret identity to hide" At that a small crack formed in what looked to be a solid pillar. Closing her eyes and concentrating she calmed herself so as to not expend any more energy than needed at the moment
"Fine, but dear child you take all the fun out of things, The crystal of Carnath will be at the Gotham museum sooner than planned they bumped the opening up to Wednesday" He smirked at Ravens surprised look " I thought you might be interested, we begin planning tomorrow at sundown, don't be late or else" his distinctive tone sending shivers down her spine, or else meant that Slade broke his part of the bargain and started researching her secret identity, Tim wasn't aware that Emma and Raven were one in the same, the truth would simply kill him after what happened tonight. She simply nodded and disappeared in a flash of dark energy, she had to hurry to beat them home and come up with some sort of cover. She appeared in the manor with only moments to spare, the large amount of energy she had spent tonight was wearing her down and she wasn't sure what she could come up with to cover her butt from Tim and the others
"Quickly into your bath upstairs they just pulled into the bat cave run girl"
Nodding at Selena Raven used the last of her now limited powers to fly into her bathroom; she slipped in and sighed at the warmth of the water.
"Where's Emma" Nightwing demanded of selenas as soon as he hit the living room
"She's in the bath, she hasn't been feeling well this evening" Selena wasn't lying she could tell even from the brief moment she had spent with the girl that the evening had taken a toll on her
"Someone called me?" Emma appeared with a towel wrapped around her wet hair and a pair of baby blue pajamas that seemed to bring out the paleness of her skin, she looked paler than before Nightwing noted
"Umm yea I was just worried about you that's all" yea real smooth he chided himself
At that moment a very somber looking group of super Heros entered the room, seeing the look on Tims' face was more than Emma could stand any longer. She began down the stairs to comfort him, it was then that the world began to spin around her and she fell. She vaguely recalled being caught but by who? That didn't matter at the moment the only thing that mattered was gaining control over her fathers prison again,
Deep within Ravens head her emotions were all standing hand in hand joined in a circle around a cage, most of Ravens energy these days was directed at strengthening the bars that bound Trigon, who was roaring and tearing at his cage, you see the events that transpired after the end of the world weren't so simple as they seemed, Enveloped in the white energy and dying Trigon had but one chance for escape, depositing his soul inside his daughters subconscious. He however failed to realize how strong Ravens emotions had become. They with some trouble had sealed him away and channeled most of their energy on his cell occasionally when the girl over exerted herself he would see his chance and try to break free. The result being Raven being unconscious for anywhere from an hour to a week
"Get her into the bat cave NOW" Bruce demanded
Without hesitation Richard ran her to the cave. Laying her down on the med table and stepping aside as Bruce and Tim set to work hooking her up to various monitors and machines, apparently this happened more than once the Titans all gathered.
"What is wrong with her? She will be ok yes?" Starfire was very concerned and at the moment the only one able to find her voice
"This happens from time to time, were not sure why but she always pulls through with a little care" Tim said while applying a damp cloth to the girls head
It was at that moment that Emma cried out and a light bulb exploded
The team was all wide eyed "No way" Beastboy had found the groups voices for them
A/N WOW 17 reviews! What a bunch of awesome lovelies I have! Thanks so much, your doing such a great job keeping me inspired guys, you're the greatest, really you are! Over 1200 hits! This authoress is quite humbled thanks everyone. Now this chapter may not be up to par, lots has to happen to set up my next chapter so it'll make sense so if it's a bit garbled or hard to understand I apologize in advance. Hmm, "complications" seems like a good title for this chapter. Also If you have read Home Comings (cheap plug) you'll know where I'm taking Slade, however it wont explain what Raven is doing as his apprentice. The first version of this chapter was better but my computer used it as a midnight snack. Bad place to stop I know but I'm heading to bed now. well that's a whopper of an A/N eh? Please review my lovelies' ps sorry it's a bit shorter than intended
