Robin and Raven walked downtown, both looking fine but thinking deeply inside.

Robin broke the silence. "So, where do you think we should start looking for new members to add to our team?"

At thisRaven stopped. Her eyebrows were set in aI'm-thinking-so-if-you-disturb-me-I-will-blow-your-head-off frown.

Finally, she spoke. "Maybe we should go to the newspapers stands and check out thenews about worldwide heros."

Robin nodded.Suddenly, he had an idea. "We should go by 'normal' names. I'll go by Richard, and you go by Rachael."

Raven raised an eyebrow at this and pondered what he said. True, she didn't like the name 'Rachael', but she also didn't want to be smothered by the press.

"Alright," she sighed, and let Robin eagerly pull her by the arm to the newspaper stands like a young child seeing the ice cream man. Rolling her eyes, Raven struggled not to trip or fall. Wow, never knew Robin could act like a 4-year-old.

As they leafed through the piles of newspaper, Raven saw a newspaper with the headline "Teen Titans Taken Down by a Robot, a Old-Looking Woman and a Monkey Man". Blushing furiously, Raven threw the newspaper aside. Just because we seem gone doesn't mean we are, Raven thought furiously.

After a few more mintues of searching, Raven found two people and Robin found one-Kidflash, a lightning-quick kid who lived in Wisconsin; an anonymous fire-bending girl who lived in China; and Misha, a Russian boy who could control weather.

"Well, I think we should fly over to Kidflash, who lives nearest to us, then I warp-hole us over to Russia to see Misha, then we'll swing by China and find this fire-bending girl." Raven stopped to take a breath. "You know, I have this funny feeling that this fire-bending girl will be like Starfire in a way," Raven mused. "Like how?" Robin raised an eyebrow. "I don't know; she just seems like a bright, happy-go-lucky girl. I don't think she'll be naive or alien or something, but..." Raven turned her palms upwards.

Changing the subject, Raven said, "Ok, let's fly over to Kidflash." "Why can't we warphole?" Robin asked. Sighing, Raven explained "When I warp-hole, it takes a lot of ebergy from me, and I heal much slower. You don't really want to FLY overseas, do you?" Robin shook his head no. "OK then, off to Wisconsin." Raven hovered above Robin's head and, grasping his bare hands, she lifted him up and began the journey to Wisconsin.

After a while, Raven began a chat. "You know what? You are pretty darn HEAVY. How much weight were you planning to lose?" she puffed.

Robin chuckled. "Since when did I say that I wanted to lose weight?"

"Well, you should!"

Robin just laughed.

"Last time I checked, I weigh about 195 lbs."

"I weigh 167 lbs!"

After about thirty minutes, Raven gently dropped Robin and fell to the ground with a groan. Robin ran over and helped her up. "You ok?" Robin asked.

Raven stood up, still leaning on Robin slightly. "Oh, of course I'm fine, after having to fly at top speed for thirty minutes while carrying a boy whoweighs 28 lbs more than I do," she said sarcastically.

Robin just chuckled. "It wasn't that torturous, carrying the person who cameclosest to being your boyfriend, was it?" he teased.

Raven smirked. "Actually, I have a feeling that Kidflash will be more good-looking."

"And how do you know that?"

Raven pointed. "Because he's right there."

Robin looked. Sure enough, there stood a teenage boy, probably his age but taller than he.

It was Kidflash.

Kidflash had firy red hair that was spiked up and slightly thrown back from running. His electric blue eyes with mischeivous glints in them matched the always-present smirk on his perfectmouth. He wore a bright yellow mask that exposed the bottom half of his face and his eyes and a matching unitard suitwith a red lightning bolt on the chest. His fairly large hands were clothed in red gloves and his kinda large feet were clothed in red boots.

"Robin, you have to admit that Kidflash doesn't look that bad," Raven's smirk grew wider.

Robin tried hard to keep cool.

Kidflash had just stopped a group of thugs from robbing a bank and was rounding them up in a tight circle. Kidflash was running around them, faster and faster. Finally, when the thugs had passed out from dizzyness and fright, he stopped andtied all their hands and feet. Kidflash stood back, acknowledging his work.

Robin felt a nudge in his rib. Raven was giving him the now-would-be-a-good-time look.

Nodding, Robin walked over to Kidflash with Raven at his heels.

"Uh, Kidflash?" Raven asked, hiding any emotions on her face.

Kidflash turned around, looking at them with a raised eyebrow.

"We need to talk to you." Raven gestured to Robin, then herself.

Kidflash nodded and walked over to a wooden bench. Raven plopped down between the two boys.

"So, have you heard of the fall of the Teen Titans?" Raven asked, keeping her emotionless mask on.

"Yea," Kidflash said, shaking his head. "Poor innocent people, just disappearing like that..."

Raven couldn't help but to smirk. "Not all of them are gone," she retorted.

Kidflash raised an eyebrow suspiciously. He slowly looked at Raven, then Robin, then Raven again, then Robin again, then-

Realization hit him smack across his face and he fell off the edge of the bench from the imaginary force of it. The girl's purple hair and amethyst eyes, the boy's spiky hair and perfect build- yes, these two had to be Raven and Robin.
