Disclaimer: I would LIKE to own Teen Titans, but I DON'T!

Rachel sips at some tea and reads her newspaper after a long day's work. Her purple hair was shiny and almost lustrous in the lights of her large apartment. She hung up her beige jacket on the hat stand and rolled up the sleeves of her black turtle neck sweater, neatly tucking her legs under the coffee table to prevent spilling any drink on her short black skirt (But, as we all know, we never spill anything on black clothing, only on white. So she needn't bother.).

Sitting there with little interruption, just reading and sipping tea, might make this story most awfully boring to the extreme, so, of course, it was not only inhabited by herself alone…

"Aunt Rachel…" asks Robin, from his bed, unable to sleep with a question (as always) on his mind.

"What is it now Rob?" groans Rachel Roth from the kitchen, reading a magazine. "I've already said goodnight and I'm pretty sure that any spider you think you saw is not going to eat your brains or lay eggs in your ear."

"They might…" says Robin not thoroughly convinced, hiding a bit under his cover. "But I only wanted to ask; what was life like when I was being carried?"

"Carried?"

"By my mother. Being of not borne yet?"

"Oh! That!" laughs Rachel, putting her magazine down smiling. "You mean when your mother was pregnant! Those where pretty funny times! Really hectic on your Dad!"

"Really?" says Robin, eyes glowing green/blue. He looked a lot like his dad, but his hair was red like his mother's and skin in a tan.

"Yeah! Pretty busy times for me too! I only heard about it after… waaaiiit a second!" says Rachel, the once Raven of Teen Titans. She glares at Robin through the wall and Robin Grayson hides himself and clouds his thoughts. "Okay wise guy!" sighs Raven. "I can't believe you still like being read stories to sleep!"

"What is wrong with stories before rest?"

"You're fourteen!"

"Yes, last month."

Raven sighs and picks up a photo album with her mind. She didn't have as great a power as she had before since Trigon was driven from her and peace was reigning, but for what it was worth to her soul and rather pleasant life, she wouldn't have it any other way. She slowly had diminished her powers as so she could assume a more discreet life, and that no evil could take advantage of her devastating power, as many times before.

Raven was now a leading news reporter for channel 5 Jump City news. As Starfire was busy on diplomatic missions on Tamaran (Stopping her people from invading Earth) and Nightwing was just a little busy in Bludhaven, they thought it best to entrust the care of their son, Robin Victor Garfield Roth Grayson, to their good friend, now turned K'norfka; Raven.

Beastboy, or Garfield Logan, was a famous documentary host on animals and wild landscapes (Garfield Logan's Animal Adventures being Robin's favourite show). He wasn't often home, so he was overlooked. Cyborg, or Victor Stone, was now head of a multi billion dollar company Cy-tech, resurrected from the remains of S.T.A.R which his parents ran. He was also quite busy, and had a large family of his own now. Bruce Wayne, Robin's Godfather, was also a very, very busy, busy man.

It was also important not to drag too much attention to the child as to keep secret many identities. Rachel was the only one who kept her identity as Raven secret, so she was perfect.

So Raven was given the responsibility since he was eight (and after getting over the starbolt phase) had built a good friendship with Robin, whom she looked to as the son she never had. Robin looked to her as a nanny (Obviously) as well as supreme ruler of the flat and his mentor, not only for school work but particularly in mind powers.

Both could communicate telepathically and could cloud their thoughts (Really handy when they played chess), though Raven was the only one with the power to lift things with her mind and put people to sleep by a simple touch on the forehead. On the other hand, Robin could fly and fry chicken with his hands, so it evened out.

"Okay, but only for a little while!" says Raven, sitting by the side of the bed and flipping through the album.

"Hey!" says Robin smiling. "That's me when I was nine, next to that priceless Ming-vase at the museum!"

"Please don't remind me…"

"Oh yeah… sorry…"

"Aha! Here it is!" says Raven, flipping to a photo. And there they were… the Teen titans… well sort of, since they were now in their early twenties and not really titans so much as getting on with their lives, that is except Nightwing who… Um… (Cough, cough) I'll just explain it along the way…

…

(Story flashback!)

"Ooh! I love flashbacks!"

"I can see that!"

"Can I get a snack or something?"

"Can I get on with the story?"

"Sorry…"

…

(Story Flashback!)

"Just wait, Super Bear fell off his seat." says Robin, picking his costume clad teddy back on the chair.

"I can't believe you still have him around…" sighs Raven. "I definitely think you should spend some more time with your dad next time he visits!"

"Does he collect beanie babies too?"

"…"

"What is wrong?"

"I can name a few things, but right now I'll just start the story…"
