Okay…BB should come in the next chapter…so…ROB/RAE DIMINISHES! MUAHAHA! Okay…I'm done..wait…MUAHAHAHAHA! okay. Now im done. ON WITH THE STORY!

Oh yeah…disclaimer…forgot…I DO NOT OWN THE TEEN TITANS OR ANYOTHER STUFF MENTIONED IN HERE. DON'T SUE ME AND DON'T DELETE MY STORY. IT SUCKS.

Raven tiptoed down the hallway, hoping desperately that no one would see her. She couldn't quite remember how she had gotten out of the cave, but all she knew was that she was in a large mansion, and she needed to get out.

'There HAS to be an exit SOMEWHERE in this infernal building…' Raven thought moodily do herself, as she ran as silently as she could through the hallways.

There it was. The exit.

Raven ran faster, but a man came out of the room next to her. This was it. She gave up trying to be silent, and full out ran for the door.

"Hey! Wait! G-" the man's voice was cut off as his head was engulfed in ebony energy. Glad for her distraction she sprinted out the door and continued down the street, hearing the calls of the man far behind her.

Stopping in an ally way, Raven panted heavily. All that running had worn her out. But there was something else wrong. She felt so dizzy and tired…. A red liquid was seeping from her wounded arm, but Raven was too dazed and tired to care. Slumping down on the wall of the ally, everything went black.

"Robin. Robin! ROBIN!" screeched a voice in Robin's ear.

"OW! What!" he said back, now annoyed by the voice coming through the communicator in his ear.

"She's gone," the voice of Bruce Wayne said solemnly.

"WHAT!" Robin yelled back, now running down the streets and ignoring stares from passers-by.

"She's gone. I went down to check on her and she had gone."

"I knew I shouldn't have left…" Robin muttered before disabling the communicator and smashing it with his foot.

"Look! It's Robin!" shouted a female from a crowd of people gathered in a group huddled over something just out of Robin's sight. 'Great… groupies.. just what I need at a time like this…" Robin thought angrily to himself.

"Robin! We need help!" one of the people in the mob shouted.

"You probably just want me to help you open your autograph book so I can sign it," Robin stated flatly.

"No! I swear! This isn't a trick! There's a girl…she needs help!" said one of the men in the crowd, pointing to the center of the circle.

"What?..." Robin said, trailing off. The crowd went silent, and they moved out of his way. It was the girl all right.

He picked her up again, but felt a slight shift. She was conscious.

"Can you stand?" he asked her.

"Yes… I think so," was her croaked reply. He set her down and held her arm around his shoulder to support her. The crowd continued to stare at the odd two limping down the street.

"Come on…we have to hurry…by now one of them will have called the press…" Robin said in a hushed voice, clearly worried that they wouldn't make it to Wayne manor.

"I can walk. I'm just a little dizzy… I'll manage. Where are we going anyway?" she said standing on her own. Robin didn't like telling her where they were going, but he whispered it to her anyway. To his surprise, she cursed.

"What's that all about?" he said giving her a questioning look.

"I think I got on the butler's nerves. I had to get past him to get out. Not many people can say they enjoy having their head encased in a bubble of energy can they?" she said in a monotone. Robin chuckled.

"Not really. But it's just up here. I'm sure he will forgive you…" Robin said.

As they entered Wayne manor, Bruce waited for them in the hall.

"You found her. Good. I suppose she knows then?" Bruce asked speaking to Robin and clearly pretending that Raven wasn't there.

"Yes…"said Robin, nervous about how his mentor would react.

"Fine. We'll treat her in the Batcave then." Bruce said, clearly rather annoyed that another person knew his secret identity now.

"Okay. You're done." Bruce said, finishing off the last knot in the bandages around Raven's wrist.

"So…Raven… What's you're story?" Robin asked as Bruce busied himself with putting away the rubbing alchohol.

"Some things are meant to stay with me. My life's story isn't one of them. Some things are meant to be kept a secret. My life story IS one of them."

"O…kay…" Robin said, clearly surprised by her blunt reaction. "Don't your parents wonder where you are? Or are they…"

"The one that should be alive is dead. The one that I wish to be dead is alive and stalking me. Ask no more. You won't be getting any answers," Raven said angrily, her eyes glowing a piercing amethyst.

"Oh… I'm sorry I asked. I'm prying at a matter that I shouldn't aren't I?" Robin asked, feeling guilty from starting this topic.

"Yes," was her only response. Quickly closing the manner, Bruce cut in.

"She needs a place to stay. She can't stay here," he said, glaring at Raven, but clearly addressing Robin.

"Why not? She has powers! She could help us fight crime!" Robin yelled at Bruce.

"I don't need anymore teenagers messing up my crime-fighting career!" Bruce yelled at Robin angrily.

"You don't need teenagers assisting you in crimefighting? Okay then. I quit," Robin shouted, glaring at his mentor through his mask. "I'm starting my own crimefighting team. And Raven is going to help me," he continued, looking hopefully at Raven, who looked shocked, but deep in thought by this statement.

"Right?" Robin asked Raven pleadingly.

"Fine," Raven said before standing up and glaring at Bruce also. Robin had to hold back his triumphant whoop of glee, so that he could maintain his serious and angry expression towards his mentor. But he still couldn't hold back his smirk.

A few minutes later, the two teenagers were a few blocks away, just inside the borders of Jump City.

"So…what exactly are we doing?" Raven asked for about the fifth time, still not quite positive if Robin had ANY clue of where he was going or what he was doing.

"Well…doing…we're starting a crime-fighting team…and as for where we are going… I know an old abandoned apartment building where we could stay. The only residents are a few gangs that party downstairs in the basement… I need to clean them out sometime…" Robin said, walking in the direction of an old, red brick, seven story, rung down, apartment building.

"Great…" Raven muttered, obviously not exited by the idea of living in this dump of an apartment with a bunch of gang members.

Shouts and the sound of breaking glass was heard from downstairs. Raven and Robin walked up a few flights of stairs before Raven suddenly stopped.

"What?" Robin asked after noticing that she wasn't following him.

"I'm going to clear them out. I need to prove to you that I can fight too anyway," she stated bluntly before stomping down the stair, Robin close on her trail.

"Wait! I've tried many times! I couldn't get them out! What makes you so sure you can?" Robin asked, trying to convince her not to do it. "Besides, in your present condition you shouldn't be fighting!"

"And you think I care.. why?" Raven asked in reply to his futile attempts at convincing her not to go.

"You…." Robin started, but was cut off as they reached the bottom of the stairs.

Okay….leaving you there. I have no time for more. Next time raven drives them out…and BB comes in! if I work on it long enough…sorry for the wait. I was grounded for a while…and school work and reports came up…I didn't have a lot of time. I'm going to Pennsylvania tomorrow to help my aunt move out….. so don't expect me to update too soon. Ill definitely try to update within a short amount of time..and I swear…ROB/RAE DIES! You r/bb shippers are going to LOVE the next few chapters…MUAHAHAHA!
