Chapter Seven

Disclaimer: I do not own the Teen Titans

Dear Raven, a lot has happened since I last wrote you. We met another girl who said her name was Robyn. She had some kind of electrical based powers. And she's blinds but she says she can 'see' by looking at electrical auroras. Whatever that means... Anyway Kid Flash dropped by and agreed to relay letters to you. He'll come by on Friday to show you where we're hiding.

This is kinda awkward since I did that… thing on your birthday. But I think we should wait until we're face to face to actually talk about it. Jessica, Jason, and X can't wait to meet you and I'm sure you know I can't wait to see you either. There's something that's been bothering me and I hope that maybe you can help.

Until Friday, I hope you stay safe and be careful. And don't let Robin get any of you down.

Love,

Gar.

Raven read the short letter slowly then folded it carefully and pressed her lips together. Something was bugging her. Gar seemed worried about something. But what? Cameron was dead and Changeling was in jail although Raven knew that the two had reconciled and were friends to some extent now.

But what if there was more? What is it wasn't just Cameron? What if there was someone else and they were going to…

Raven shook her head violently then floated down the hall after making sure the letter was well hidden. Then she opened the doors to the main room and looked around. Cyborg and Jinx were playing video games on the sofa with Starfire cheering them on. She sighed and exited the room, no one noticed her come in and leave.

Raven walked briskly down the long hallway then paused at the door to the evidence room. It opened and she could barely make out the rows of captured items and newspaper clippings. She walked down the aisles searching for Robin. He was standing at a desk in one corner of the room. He didn't look up as she approached

"I'm not hungry Star, I'll come down for lunch later." he said flipping through several stacks of paper. Raven crossed her arms

"First off I'm not Starfire. Second off it's not even eleven yet." the masked teen turned in his chair and looked up at Raven

"Oh hey Raven, did you need something?" Raven nodded and sat down in mid air so she was at eyelevel with her leader

"I need the frequency to Kid Flash's communicator." Robin cocked his head but shrugged and quickly hunted down a pen and a scrap of clean paper

"Any particular reason you need this?" Raven quickly took the scrap of paper and set her feet back down on the floor

"Nothing that concerns you Robin." she said as her body turned black and sank into the floor. Robin stared at the spot for a moment then shook his head and returned to his work.

Raven locked her door and muttered a spell to keep anyone from opening it. Then she flipped open her communicator and tapped in the code of numbers Robin had written. Soon a voice on the other end of the link picked up

"Hello?"

"Kid Flash? This is Raven." she said to the boy's image. He smiled happily and waved slightly

"Hey, what's up?" he asked

"I need to ask a favor."

Gar blocked a punch that Red-X swung at him then morphed into a tiger. The former thief flipped away from his large paws and pulled out a weapon from his belt. He threw it and it trapped the changeling to the nearby canyon wall. Gar turned into a human and laughed a little. Red-X smirked

"Sure, didn't see that one coming." he said as X pried the weapon from the wall. Or rather tried to anyway

"Obviously." a monotone drawled. Gar looked up and felt his heart stop. Two figures stood on the top of the canyon wall.

One was obviously Kid Flash since it was the exact silhouette of a teenager. The other was a figure of about medium height. A distinct sent of lavender floated into the canyon

"Raven!" Gar yelled. Red-X looked at Jessica and Jason who both shrugged helplessly. Kid Flash's figure disappeared then he was leaning against the rocks next to Jason. Raven's figure floated into the canyon. Gar ran over and hugged her tightly. The girl laughed as he lifted her off the ground

"Sit, Garfield." she said pressing a hand down on his head. "Good boy." the changeling laughed and turned into a dog and started barking loudly

"Would someone mind telling me what's going on?" Jason asked. Raven looked up and her eyes widened. Gar turned into a human and touched her hand

"Rae? Raven? Are you okay?" the girl shook her head and smiled lightly

"I'm fine."

Gar turned to the three Outsiders and smiled. They all looked at him with raised brows. Finally Jessica spoke

"So who is she, your girlfriend?" Raven's face flushed and Gar rubbed the back of his neck awkwardly

"No, guys this is Raven. She's from the Titans." he saw X touch his belt lightly finally seeing the resemblance

"So what are you doing here?" Jason demanded his gloves surrounded by a yellow glow. Raven turned her attention to him

"I'm here to see Gar. And don't worry, I'm not telling the other Titans about this." the three younger teens looked doubtful but finally relaxed.

Gar smiled and hugged Raven around the shoulders "I've missed you Rae. It's not as fun when no one throws me out of windows constantly."

Raven rolled her eyes playfully "Well if you missed it so much." her eyes glowed white and Gar's whole body was engulfed in a black mist

"Raven, I was kidding!" he yelled as he started floating. The girl smirked and set him down

"So was I."

Gar rolled his eyes then introduced the three teenagers to Raven. She nodded to them then watched as they went back to training with Kid Flash joining in

"They're good." Raven commented watching Jessica and Jason exchange blows. Gar glowed with pride

"Ya, Red-X taught them most of the martial arts moves but we're working on strategy."

Raven nodded "Jason…"

"I know. He's never said anything about her though. I figure if there was anything he wanted me to know he'd have told me by now."

"Gar, why are you running?" Raven asked softly. The changeling looked at the ground and sighed deeply

"I dunno Raven. I guess it's because I don't think I did anything wrong. But… I'm just not real sure to be perfectly honest with you."

"Well…" Raven leaned against a boulder and looked at him "I want to ask you something."

"Go ahead."

Raven paused "Why did you kiss me the other night?" she whispered softly. The changeling turned bright red and tugged at the collar of his shirt

"Uh… I… that is…" he stuttered. Raven cocked an eyebrow and Gar sighed angrily but before he could continue Raven's communicator started beeping wildly. She flipped it open

"Raven! We need your help! It's Cinderblock, Overload, and Plasmas." Robin's voice squawked. Raven nodded and snapped the link shut

"I've got to go." she said. Gar nodded then looked behind him where the practice area had fallen silent. Jessica, Red-X and Jason looked at them

"I finished the devices Gar." X said quietly. Gar sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose. Raven crossed her arms waiting for an explanation

"Alright. But get in and get out. Nothing more. Understand?" the three nodded solemnly. Kid Flash tugged on Raven's sleeve

"Come on are we going or not?"

"Yes."

The two took off and were out of sight in moments. Jason summoned three rocks then looked at Gar

"You coming? I can drop you off on a roof."

"Alright."

(I'm sorry this took so long. I was very busy over the holidays so I couldn't update. Once again sorry and review please. And can anyone tell me what AU fics are?)
