Disclaimer: I do not own teen titans.

Raven was ready. She was in a dress that she could still fight in. her hair was pulled into a bun, hiding 2 thin throwing knives, just in case. Her earrings were high-tech listening devices.

Robin: are you sure you want to do this Raven.

Raven: If you're worried, Robin, send BB with me.

BB: why me?

Raven: that guy is human, with no special abilities. Be a gnat and he will never know you're there.

Cyborg: well, I feel a little better knowing that you're not going alone. Still…

Raven: I'll be fine.

Starfire: I have one question. How could Raven have known that this man was not the one who saved her just based on the bandana? Couldn't the man who saved her have taken off his bandana?

Raven: Damean is never without his bandana off unless his power has burned through it. The reason he never takes it off is that the focus of is power is on his forehead. It is a third eye.

Everyone else: third eye!

Raven: and that is why he wears his bandana

Robin looks at the clock. It is 6:45

Cyborg: I'll drive you there. Ready BB?

Beast Boy turns into a gnat and hides in the hidden pocket in boot.

Robin: lets do this

So this was how the titans had planned it. Raven would go with Beast Boy hidden in her boot. Robin would monitor the input from her earrings with Cy and Starfire.

Raven is now at the club, looking around for Nightblade. Suddenly, he is behind her. He taps her on the shoulder. She whirls around then glares. He extends his arm to her.

Nightblade: shall we go in?

Raven glares but, Star's sake, takes his arm. They walk in and get a table. The dance floor is moderately full. The live band is playing a fast song. Raven looks around, hoping to see the face of one of her friends. She doesn't see them but she does notice an aura of magic around the 4-member band and several others in the club. Her friends were there to help her. They knew she was here. Nightblade snaps in her face to recapture her attention.

Nightblade: like this place? I come here a lot. The band is really good. Their singer has a very nice voice.

Raven (smiling pleasantly): its…very nice. (the smile doesn't reach her eyes)

They sit there for a little while, talking about inconsequential things.

Nightblade: how about you and I dance a little?

Raven looks like she wants to kill him but for the sake of her teacher, takes his had and is led onto the dance floor. They dance for a little while, then Nightblade excuses himself to go to the restroom. Raven is left at their table. Suddenly there is a voice at her shoulder.

Voice: long time no see Raven

Raven whirls around. Behind her stands a teenage girl in black. She had shoulder length dirty blonde hair and was of average height.

Raven: Sally! It's so good to see you. (they hug) it's good to see a friendly face. While freaky is away, can you tell me what I've been dragged into?

Sally: For now lets just say that you weren't dragged in. this whole thing has you right in the middle.

Raven: but…

Nightblade: well Raven, who is this?

Both girls jumped. Nightblade had snuck up behind them.

Raven: this is an old friend of mine. We haven't seen each other in years.

Sally: I'm Sally. Nice to meet you.

Nightblade: charmed, I'm sure. Well Raven, may I have this dance?

The band had just struck up a slow song. Sally excused herself and walked away. Raven was force to put her arms around Nightblade and dance with him.

Raven suddenly felt a familiar touch on her mind.

Well, you look like you are having fun

Ravencan it Damean. So why are you letting this freak impersonate you

Damean it's complicated. Just so you know, Star is not in his custody any more.

Raven let me guess. As soon as Bozo left it took her 20 seconds to slice those ropes and get home. Will the bad guys ever learn that you don't tie a Guardian up with rope?

Damean you got it. Oh well.(pause) got to go.

Raven has continued dancing as if nothing has happened. The slow song ended and the band announced that they were taking a break and would be back in a little while.

Nightblade: perfect timing. Come with me Raven.

Raven: where?

Nightblade: just come on

He pulls Raven to the side door of the club and leads her outside before she can do anything. As soon as the door shut, he suddenly slams her into the wall and pulls out a small blade. Raven gasps. It is a demon-killing blade. The magic invested in it was powerful. There was a snicker from the shadows. The demon the team had fought earlier stepped from the shadows.

Demon: for some reason I cannot believe you walked into this not knowing this was a trap. And don't say you had protection. I stunned your little green friend in his gnat form and held him in it. You knew it happened too, I bet. So, why did you walk willingly into a trap?

Raven:(sounding choked because of Nightblade's arm) I guess I'm used to playing bait.

Demon: for whom? Who is going to save you? Who is going to save you from your position as "bait"?

Damean:(from the shadows) that would be us

From the shadows stepped ten figures, three young men and 7 teen girls. One was Damean. Another was the girl the demon had caught, Star. The girls all had a similar outfit, slim fitting pants, high collared wrapping tunic with slightly flowing sleeves. They were all in different colors. The boy's outfits were not the same. One wore a tuxedo while the other wore flowing mage robes in white. Damean wore the same outfit as before with a red bandana tied around his arm.

Damean: let her go.

Demon: 10 against 2. Hmm not good odds. Lets even them a bit.

Nightblade swung Raven around and held her in front of him, holding the blade to her neck. The demon's hands began to glow.

Demon: you have two choices. Attack, and your little friend will be in very bad shape. Let us leave and she'll stay in one piece.

Robin: are we allowed to change the odds?

Out of the shadows stepped the Teen Titans, including BB.

Demon: wait a minute. How the heck did you get out of her boot?

Star: idiot. As soon as you knocked him out I teleported him to Titans tower. You didn't even notice. And I thought you had more than half a brain.

Demon: the choices still hold.

Raven: really?

Suddenly, Raven was being supported by Star; Nightblade was under Damean's foot with Damean's long sword at his neck.

Demon: how the heck…?

Damean: lets spell it out. As soon as you turned your attention to the Titans, I knocked over Nightblade, got Raven over to Star, and got back here.

Demon: but but but…

Star: by the way, you belong on your own universe.

With that, Star pulled a blade from the air and cast it at the demon. It struck him squarely in the chest. He shrieked in pain, then, with a bright black flame, vanished.

Raven'teacher So how is my story so far? Please r & r
