Disclaimer: I don't own the Teen Titans

A/N: Thank you to Gilraen R. Luinwe who brought up to important details to me. Both will be brought up in this chapter, maybe a little late, but still brought up. Also, this chapter is rather short, but the next one will be extremely long. I already have it planned out.

Chapter Four

When Robin awoke the next morning it was to an empty room except for him. He looked all around for his wife before leaving the room to go to the common room to see if the others had seen her. He met up with them right outside the door. When he asked them if they had seen her, Beast Boy laughed and said, "Dude, you're her husband, aren't we supposed to ask you that?"

Robin just glared at him before going into the room to find a wonderful looking breakfast on the table. There were eggs, bacon, sausage, waffles, pancakes, and fruit set out ready to be eaten. There was even tofu set off to one side of the table that actually looked edible for once. In the kitchen, Raven turned from where she was buttering toast. "Oh, good morning guys," she said as she walked up to give Robin a good morning kiss. "I thought I would surprise you with breakfast since you were all so kind as to have that party for Robin and me yesterday," she explained as the other three rushed past to sit down and eat. Robin and her followed more slowly, and Robin even pulled her chair out for her. She smiled up at him while she sat down. Once they were sitting, Cyborg commented, "This is great, Raven. I haven't had homemade waffles like these in a long time."

"Yes, the food is quite good, friend, thank you."

"Good? Good don't even begin to explain it. I've never been able to get my tofu taste this good! How'd you do it, Raven?"

"Yes, Raven, how'd you do it?" Her curious husband added after taking a bite out of one of the pancakes. He was the only one to do so. Despite how good everything else was and how good everything looked, no one could forget those pancakes from so long ago.

"Well, after that one breakfast and when the world didn't end, I decided to take lessons," she mumbled, but they all heard and started laughing. The great Raven had to take lessons on how to cook.

"Um, Raven, is that why we kept getting billed by that one kitchen that you kept blowing up?" Robin asked.

"Yeah," She admitted, "I kept getting frustrated that I couldn't even make something semi-edible, and ended up blowing things up. Sorry about that."

"Nothing to be sorry about, honey; I'm just glad that something good came from all that money."

"Hey, speaking of blowing things up, why hasn't anything blown up?" Everyone turned toward the green shape shifter with questions in their eyes. "It's just that, you've been showing a lot of emotion since you two got back, Raven. You've laughed, you've cried, you've smiled. And I'm sure you were emotional with whatever you and Robin have been up to for the past couple of weeks, which I never want any details of by the way. So, with all that emotion, why no exploding objects?"

Raven got a thoughtful look on her face. She didn't really know how to explain it. She would try her best though. "Well, I think it's because Robin can feel." She could practically see the question marks above their heads at that. "Well, as a full human, Robin doesn't have to worry about powers acting up whenever he is feeling. He has a type of control over his emotions. I've had to suppress my emotions which is a completely different type of control. Yet, Robin and I are now connected, so his control is now my control as well. I don't really know how to explain it. I'll still have to meditate to control especially strong emotions such as fear and anger, but otherwise I now share Robin's ability to feel. I know it doesn't make any sense, in fact that explanation was probably more confusing than…"

"Raven," Robin soothed, "it's okay. I get it. You can feel because of me and I can blow things up because of you now. It was an equal trade."

Raven smiled gratefully up at her husband before Cyborg interrupted their moment. "Wait, what do you mean you can blow things up now?"

"Well, I guess I should completely explain. You see, where Raven is from, you don't marry, you mate. And when you mate, you create an unbreakable bond of mind, heart, and soul. Raven and I have created such a bond," Robin explained, showing everyone the little raven on his wrist. To everyone's amazement, its wings fluttered as if to wave. Even Raven was a little thrown off by that. "Well…um…there are some pluses to this. Raven and I now have a telepathic link, and I now I have an extended life because Raven does. I also get the occasional power if I get emotional enough because of being linked to her. However, there are some bad things that we feel you should know as our team."

"Such as the fact that Robin and I are physically and emotionally linked to each other which could cause a great distraction if one of us were injured. Even worse, if one of us were to die in battle, so linked are we as mates that very likely the other would die as well. Only if one of us has an extreme will to live would we."

"We know that this has a great affect on the team. That is why, as of today, we are starting a new training. Each of you are to start learning strategy and leadership. You will also train as if it were just the three of you fighting in battle three times a week. That way, hopefully, if something does happen to Raven and me, you'll still be able to function as a team. While you do that, Raven and I are going to be training in learning to ignore the pain that we feel coming from each other. That way if one of us is hurt badly during a fight, the other will be able to continue fighting. I'm also going to start meditating with Raven everyday so that I don't end up blowing up the Tower." Robin looked around but everyone seemed to have absorbed all the information very well. "I was also thinking we should change our name."

"Wait, what? No longer be the Teen Titans?" Beast Boy exclaimed.

"I was thinking more along the lines of being the Titans. Just no teen in front. I mean, Cyborg is about to turn twenty next month, so he would no longer be a teen. Raven and I are married, which is very unteen like. I was thinking that there would still be the Teen Titans, somewhere. Just that if they got married or when they turned twenty putting them onto a team of the Titans, except, of course, for us, the original team. We've been through too much together." Just then the alarm went off. "Well, get going. We'll continue talking when you get back."

"Aren't you coming, friends?"

"No, Robin and I are officially off-limits to field work until we learn how to control our new link, you know, not go and get each other killed by trying to constantly help the other," Raven answered.

"Until then, we'll have someone from Titan's East come and fill in," Robin added.

"Oh, Can it be boyfriend Aqualad?" Starfire asked, excitedly, before blushing at what she had unwittingly admitted to.

Raven smiled. She knew those two had been too close to each other during the party for them to be just friends. "Of course, it can be Aqualad. Now go, the criminals await."

As the others left, Robin gave her a look. "What?"

"I'm the leader. I didn't say it could be him."

"You would have."

"How do you know? I could have been planning on asking Speedy to come."

"Well, as the wife of the leader, I am given a certain right to make some of the decisions I know you would make, and I know you would have chosen Aqualad."

"How?"

"Well, first you want to keep the members of your team, your family, happy." She kissed him passionately. "Secondly, you want to keep that happening, along with what it leads to."

"Hey, no fair! You can't blackmail me into making decisions."

Raven laughed. "Richard, didn't you know? That's exactly what wives do. Its why they are in charge."

"They are not. The husbands are the head of the household, the decision maker. They and they alone make the choices of the family."

"Robin, Robin, Robin," Raven said, shaking her head, "Who ever put that sad delusion into your head? The women control the man, the so called 'decision maker.' Always have, always will."

"Do not. You don't control me."

"Sure, I don't dear. Sure, I don't" Raven laughingly replied before running off with Robin chasing her playfully.

A/N: Well, that's it. What did you think? Like I said, it isn't a long chapter, but I'm making up for it next chapter which will also be the last. I know ya'll were probably expecting this to go on longer, but I have only enough ideas for the next chapter. Anyways, thanks to everyone who reviewed. Your reviews just made my day.
