Echm… sorry, don't know what that was for, this idea was a dream, like everything else I've written, lol, yea, this will be quite long I think, robin's wearing the Nightwing costume, demon missions are spread out, there are A LOT of vampires you know, so they don't have to fight non-stop, and yea, biting raven was all a big plan created by Lillith, to 'save the world' from trigon. The change of heart came from seeing the differences in raven, he knew she didn't normally act this way and he realized he had done that to her. Are we all clear now? Hehehe

Disclaimer- I own Lillith and… wait… that's it… I seriously do not own teen titans… ok? STOP YELLING!
I blinked, astonished. I should have realized this before now, Lillith's commanding aura, her motherly tones. I fell back against Robin's chest, still shocked. His hands found my hips and began massaging them lightly. This yanked me from my thoughts. I jumped up and sent an annoyed look to the vampire still on the ground. "How can you just sit there, knowing that the fate of the mortal race is resting on our shoulders! How can you sit there, calm and cool as ice!" I hissed. He grinned and stood up, taking me in his arms again. His mouth brushed against my neck, and I could feel his smooth, cold fangs underneath his lips. I shivered, despite the boiling rage inside me.
"Correction:" He whispered, mouth at my ear. "The fate of the mortal race rests on your shoulders." He pulled away and cracked a grin. "I'm just here for moral support, literally." I rolled my eyes and shoved him away, scanning the rooftop for something to throw at him, but finding nothing that wouldn't cause permanent damage, I huffed and walked to the edge of the roof. Robin chuckled behind me, and suddenly, without a sound, he was at my back, his arms wrapped around my waist again. I almost jumped, but his hands held me in place. His mouth found my ear again. "Oh come on… you know you love me," He teased. I scoffed and crossed my arms.
"You wish," I laughed. He grinned and his hands slid up my body to my crossed arms.
"Ouch, that hurt Rae. My ego has been dented," He chuckled as he uncrossed them and spun me around. I narrowed my eyes mischievously and he leaned in. When his mouth was a few centimeters away, I pushed him square on the chest, taking him by surprise and landing him on his butt.
"Good," I laughed. "Bout' time someone wiped that cocky grin off your face!" He chuckled a bit.
"She's right you know," Said the velvety voice I had come to know so well. I spun around and met the crimson gaze of the taller woman. She smiled down on me and ran her fingers through my hair. Then her gaze turned to Robin. "Has she been briefed?" She asked him. Robin shrugged.
"She knows as much as I do," He stated. Lillith nodded. Lillith turned back to me.
"I ask you now to leave your sire and join me in training for our mission, he will no doubt join us later, do you accept?" She asked me calmly. My eyes widened and I blinked in surprise. Why was she asking me for permission? "It's proper etiquette to ask permission from one before risking their life," Lillith responded to my thoughts. There was a hidden message in her words, one I picked out clear as rain. If you come with me, there's a good chance you won't come back. You don't have to go. I hesitated not a moment longer.
"Of course," I replied. Robin smiled at me proudly. Lillith flicked him a small smile in content. She took my hand and a welcoming darkness surrounded me. When my eyes opened again, we were on top of a deserted parking garage. My eyebrow quirked at the strange environment, Lillith chuckled at my apprehension.
"What? Were you expecting a moonlit clearing covered with dew?" She asked, amused. My face reddened and I looked away.
"Well… I… uh…" I stumbled. Lillith threw her head back and laughed.
"This is much better suited to the cause, Raven." She stated. I nodded in agreement, though not fully understanding what the cause was. Lillith chuckled again and unclasped the thick cloak she was wearing, placing it gingerly on the edge of the garage. I followed her example, shedding my dark blue cloak. Lillith's dark hair spilled out around her shoulders and she wore a simple maroon tank with black pants. She grinned and took a strange battle stance. She motioned to me. "Let's see what you've got without your powers," She dared.
I grinned and took an awkward stance of my own. Lillith shot a punch, obviously trying to miss me. I flipped backward, landing squarely on the balls of my feet, my fingers touching the pavement. She grinned and ran at me, throwing rapid punches, too fast for any human, but surprisingly, I was able to block them all. When she hesitated a moment, I grabbed her wrist and twisted, making her body oblige to my will. My hand shot out and grabbed her side, flipping her. She yelped in surprise, but landed gracefully on her feet. She threw me an amazed look. I shrugged and grinned.
"I guess I picked up a few things from Robin," I laughed. She nodded.
"Good, one less thing for me to teach you. But know this Raven," She warned, her tone turning serious again. "Magic and brawn alone will not win you this war." My eyebrow lifted.
"But what else do I have?" I asked. Lillith tapped her temple.
"Your mind, Raven, that is your most powerful weapon. A demon's tactics, though powerful and deadly, are always the same. You must be creative and inventive if you wish to defeat your father; you must exploit his every weakness. As few as they may be, you have the power to destroy him with them." She explained.
"What exactly are his weaknesses? Besides the fact that he has no creativity?" I asked.
"A demon cannot love, all it can feel is hate and rage. If you can find a way to fuel yourself on love, then your power will be greater then his. Also, when a member of his clan, more specifically, you, resists his call, his power is weakened to a great extent. You must resist him Raven; he will taunt you with your heart's desires, but know that there is no truth in anything he says." Lillith warned. I nodded, wondering faintly what my heart's desire was… Lillith cleared her throat, rousing me from my thoughts. "Our first mission is in one week, it is an ambush on an Incubi camp, be ready." She said quickly, making way for her cloak. I reached a hand out to her.
"Robin said you would name me," I stated softly. Lillith's red glare met my purple one.
"Yes… I had almost forgotten," She said softly. She took my chin in her hand and her eyes searched my face. "Aquilus of course, that is the mark of your line…" She muttered to herself. "And your display tonight… quite a fighter…" She grinned and pulled away, thrusting a fist in the air. "I've got it!" She leaned in and whispered. "Aquilus Ales Alitis Virago, dark winged heroine,"
Yes it's short, but at least I updated, so rejoice, get bitten by hot vampires and review!
