WATCHTOWER

"Hello Cyborg," Batman asked his friend and mentor.

"Yeah Batman, have a question?" Cyborg asked, he still had trouble calling him Batman and these days whenever Batman came it usually meant he had a problem.

"When you upgraded the Tower by removing its lockdown and updating its security system, did you empty the Tower of personal artifacts? Because I left some important documents in my room thinking the Tower was to become the safest safe in the world, I also know there are a lot of stuff still in Dick Grayson's room that shouldn't be touched, and some stuff in Raven's room," Batman added.

"Never crossed my mind, I just used my robots to update security and all that, hopefully they don't find any of those sensitive things, they were locked up right?" Cyborg responded, sounding worried at the prospect of the information falling in the hands of kids.

"Yeah, but those kids can probably open them if they wanted to and used their brains," Batman said.

"Well then nothing to worry about, which teenager wants to look through there Dad or Aunts old stuff, especially if it's locked and they would have to think!" Cyborg said and chuckled a little at his joke.

Batman also chuckled, out of politeness and said farewell as he went to the elevator to get to his room. "Damn it, if they find out, what would happen? How would Kevin look at his uniform? Dear God, how would Christine react if she found out!" Batman thought as he the elevator continued up. "What if they find the notebook, why did I leave it at the Tower? Raven's leotard is there also, but luckily the videotape is still with us," Batman continued thinking as he exited the elevator to his room.

TITANS TOWER

It was the first training session, the team decided that before they would go out fighting crime and the mayors iron grip they first had to work as a team and physically build themselves. Darkness was very petite, skinny, and didn't know a thing about hand to hand combat. Fireteen had finally gotten a uniform, she didn't wear a mask because she had no family or name, it was made of the same fabric that Robin and Guardian wore but was more fire resistant. It was orange with a flame design across her glove, collar area, boots, and belt. She was very beautiful and the uniform increased her physical beauty almost three fold. Guardian planned on increasing his hand to hand combat by working with Robin. Robin had made an adjustment with his uniform; he didn't wear the red t-shirt that Robin usually wore; now he wore a red shirt so his entire arm was protected.

In the training room, Guardian and Robin were fighting hand to hand, no weapons or powers. Although they both knew Robin would probably win the first few sessions, they knew this helped both of them and they planned that they would eventually be equal in fighting skills. This Titan team had a plan that they would not only have very powerful powers but they would also be very effective fighters, especially in a city of gangsters and mobsters. Darkness was actually lifting weights, she definitely was more powerful than her mother was at her age and was already a master of her art, so she now had to physically build herself, something she had never done before. She had always been a bookworm, not playing many sports and avoiding physical activity as much as possible, but now she was doing what she hated most. Fireteen was busy practicing her flying and her ability to control the volume of the fire she created; she was pretty much experimenting with her power. Physically she was very fit, having lived on the streets, and doing labor work to get money for food she was a very strong girl. However, she lacked control and even understanding of her powers so she was working on that. It was decided once Fireteen mastered her powers and Darkness built some muscle and stamina, they would begin learning hand to hand combat. Fireteen would learn from Guardian while Darkness was to learn from Robin.

The session had started at nine in the morning; it ended at three in the afternoon. They were to have workout sessions three times a week, and it was decided, since each Titan knew how to cook, they would take turns each week on who cooked. The first week, Guardian was the cook. After the exhausting training session, the teens went to there rooms. Fireteen had taken Beast Boy's old room, Guardian was in Dick Grayson's old room, Robin was in his mother's room, and Darkness was in her mother's old room, none of them knew whose old room they had taken.

The first to finish their shower was Robin who walked into the room and froze at the doorway and stared at the table in shock. On the table was a plate filled with tuna, chicken, and beef sandwiches. Next to that was freshly squeezed lemonade. Guardian was sitting at the table; he had in front of him, bread, and a plate with some strange looking food that Robin didn't recognized. Guardian rolled up his black mask so that only his mouth could be seen, Robin didn't realize that Guardian wasn't as tan as he expected, he was almost as fair skinned as Robin himself. Guardian didn't look at Robin and said simply, "Your foods at the table, sadly, I have to go, once I finish, but don't worry, I will be back for dinner though," Guardian said as he continued to eat.

"Alright," Robin said as he grabbed himself a meal.

Guardian finished three minutes latter, went to the main window, opened it and flew towards the city. "Wonder where he is going to?" Robin thought as he watched his mysterious teammate fly.

"Guardian made all of this in half an hour!" Fireteen said in shock as she entered the room and was shocked at the amount of food in front of her. "I thought he would just put some of that frozen pizza we got, not make a gourmet meal!" she continued.

Robin's stomach tightened, he had a crush on Fireteen and whenever he talked to her he would speak very quietly, and look down, his heart would also beat a lot harder. He managed to mumble, "He is amazing,"

"You bet he is," Fireteen said, becoming lost in thought.

"Why are you just standing there? Is lunch ready?" Darkness asked as she finally entered the room and also looked in surprise at what was assembled at the table.

"Are you two just going to admire the food or eat?" Robin asked, he felt confidence only when someone else was in the room with him and her.

"Lets eat!" Fireteen said as she grabbed a plate.

Despite being extremely hungry, Darkness walked slowly, grabbed a plate, took her time, got a couple of sandwiches, sat down and began to slowly eat. While she did that, Fireteen and Robin stuffed there plates with food and ate very quickly.

THREE A.M

TITANS TOWER

Darkness sat on the couch and faced the window; she stared at the city below her. Ever since she was a little girl she would often wake up at around two or three and then just stare at earth from her window, now she stared at Jump City. During this time she would run through what happened that day, what she did right, what she did wrong, then she would just think, about life, about her future, and about her past. Outside the window, Guardian was preparing to enter the Tower after his nightly patrol; he typically returned at three or four in the morning and would wake up at eight or nine, getting a good five hours of sleep total. He was about to enter when he heard someone enter the room, "Who would need to talk to Darkness at three in the morning?" Guardian thought as he stepped by the window, out of sight but still being able to hear any conversation in the room. He knew it was wrong but he was too curious and couldn't resist the opportunity to see what Darkness thought or what she had done with her life, Fireteen was very open about her adventures, as was Robin, but Darkness was always to herself, like Guardian, and that was why Guardian wanted to know.

"Old habits didn't go away huh," Robin said as he walked to where Darkness sat.

"What do you want Robin," Darkness responded coldly, not turning to her companion, just continuing to stare outside.

"What happened? You know I am your best friend, and I want to know why you ran away and why aunt Raven and uncle BB have been so depressed and down lately," Robin demanded.

"I just got sick of the lies, the hiding, the deception, the fake love, so I ran," Darkness said.

Guardian was getting upset with what he was hearing and his fist was slowly clenching into a fist without him realizing it.

"What happened?" Robin demanded.

"Remember we were babysitting the children that day," Darkness said.

"Yeah, I remember," Robin said as he sat down to hear the story.

FLASHBACK

WATCHTOWER

BB/RAVEN HOUSE

Darkness entered her house and walked into her room to find her mother sitting on the bed with a book in her hands. She looked sternly at her eldest child and said, "What is this you're reading Christine?" she demanded.

"A book of magic," Darkness said, not sounding subdued or obedient, "She can't tell me what I can and cannot read," she said to herself.

"What are you doing in my room?" Christine demanded, she was hurt and shocked that her own mother wouldn't respect her privacy.

Raven just looked at Christine and lifted up a book, "This is a very dangerous book that is supposed to teach you how to read other peoples memories and thoughts of the past, and relive their past emotions, do you have any idea how dangerous this can be? It can hurt you but worse of all it can hurt the one you use this on, and I know who you would have used this on," Raven said, her voice rising.

"Who," Darkness shot back.

"Don't be stupid with me, you would have used it on me," Raven said, giving her daughter a glare. Raven kept a cold, expressionless face, very similar to the one she wore before she was able to express her emotions.

"And you know why," Darkness said.

"Why?" Raven asked her daughter.

"Because you never tell me anything! For God sakes I don't even know who I am named after!" she yelled at her mother.

Raven was taken back by the outburst but stated calmly, "You're not ready to know about my past," Beast Boy entered the room quietly and began watching from a corner.

"I am fourteen years old! How much older should I get!" Darkness continued yelling in anger.

"Age doesn't matter, maturity does, and right now your outbursts don't help your case," Raven responded coldly.

Darkness looked at her mother in the eyes and said, "So I have to start acting like a cold bitch to find out?"

"Christine! Take that back!" Beast Boy yelled as he walked up to her in anger at what his daughter had just called her mother.

Raven was also in shock at what she had just called her. "What do you expect, you always looked pained when you see me, you always hesitate when you come near me, I should just leave since my existence bothers you so much," Christine continued.

"Beast Boy, this is between me and Christine," Raven said quietly as she tried to think of some way to explain to Christine without telling her that it wasn't her it was the circumstances that lead to her birth that caused the pain.

"Yeah, listen to your master, you seem to do everything she orders you to do anyway," Christine told her father with a smug grin, surprisingly similar to her father's.

"Dude, that's just cold," Beast Boy said numbly as he walked out of the room.

"Christine, you don't pain me, its something about your birth, some aspects of it, which you didn't control, that is what's around you that's the pain," Raven told her daughter.

Christine got up, "I am sick of this, I can't believe you, I never will believe you," she ran out of the room.

"Christine! You can't run away from me, we have a special bond of love, a mother daughter bond that nothing can break!" Raven called to her, not wanting to lose her daughter because of events she couldn't control.

"You mean we did have," Christine sent the message telepathically to Raven and then Raven felt darkness, felt nothingness, she couldn't sense anything from her daughter, she had broken the bond which was supposed to never be broken. Raven didn't try to pursue Christine as she escaped the Watchtower, Raven just sat on her bed, dumbfounded by what had just happened. "How did she break the bond, the bond can't be broken, why did she do this," Raven said to herself. She had never lost someone like this before, she had many bonds with her family members, closer than any bond she had with her friends, and when one of those links got broken, Raven felt so much weaker and defeated. Physically Christine was alive and her daughter, but telepathically wise and magically wise, she was as good as dead to Raven, that's what hurt her the most, it was almost as if Christine had committed suicide in front of Raven.

Hope you enjoyed this chapter

Next chapter- Robin and Guardian have a talk

Resonse to chapter 3 reviews:

BlackGothFaerie- Oh yeah, in Fall of Robin II: Replacement (I believe it was chapter one or two) the Titans beat the crude out of the Hive and they got hauled off to prison. You see the FOR series was very dark and twisted and most of the time very tragic, I plan on continuing the dark theme but not as extreme as I usually do, glad your getting the story and hope you understand the story better as time goes on (sorry about putting the info last) (as for the song I was listening to it was Murda Me by Bone Thugs-n-harmony, it wasn't any sentence they just said Black Widow so I used that as the animal Beast Boy called Raven, nothing to do with the song)

AnimationWickedRaven- Glad you are liking the story so far and I hope your reviews continue to come
