Hey what do ya know, two chapters in one day. I'm good. But anyway here is what I've been promising you for probably a good two months. I hope you enjoy.

Disclaimer: I do not own the Teen Titans.

Ch. 7: A Sneaking Suspicion
Nothing that the Titans had tried seemed to be working. They had tried just about every maneuver and battle strategy they could possibly think of. No matter how hard they tried to subdue the blundering behemoth, he just got back up and kept on swinging.

Raven surveyed the battle from a distance. BB had transformed into a Rhino in hopes of knocking Cinderblock of his feet, but Cinderblock just stood his ground and knocked BB to the side. Cy was blasting him with everything he had, and Star was lobbing starbolts as she circled above. All this seemed to do was annoy him. Even she hadn't been able to phase the giant. Everything she launched at Cinderblock he either easily knocked it the side or exploded as soon as it hit. As much as she hated to admit it they needed help.

"We need Robin." she announced. But no matter how much they needed him, he was all the way back in Gotham. She had a new found respect for the Boy Wonder. He always knew what to do and he always did it so well. He had made the role look easy. Maybe a little, too easy.

Cinderblock finally turned and noticed Raven hovering in the distance. He easily knocked BB out of the way and charged the startled sorceress. She acted quickly and flung a near by car at the charging menace. However the explosion sent her flying a few feat back, and she landed hard on the pavement and rolled a few feet further. She looked up just in time to see Cinderblocks massive fist swing down. She knew she hadn't the time to stop him, but she wasn't about to go down without a fight. She charged what little energy she could gather into one last massive attack. She may not be able to stop him herself but at least she could give the others a fighting chance. (Ohhh. I had such an urge to kill her off, but then I figured that would probably just piss you guys off, huh) Just as she prepared to fire, a shadowed figure appeared from nowhere, and bashed Cinderblock in the side of the head. Cinderblock veered off to the right, his fist narrowly missing Raven.

"What do you say?" Raphael turned to look toward Raven, a shit eating grin plastered on his face. Raven glared up at him as he grinned back down at her. He wore pretty much what was wearing earlier that day, except he wore a mask just like Robin's, and a black utility belt.

"What the hell took you so long, huh." She said as she stood and dusted herself off. Cinderblock let out enraged Roar and began lift himself back to his feet. The two heroes quickly regrouped with the rest of the Titans.

"Dude, how'd you do that." BB screamed as he ran to meet the other two.

"It's easy, you just have to know where to hit the son of a bitch." Cinderblock let out another disgruntled growl. Raphael turned back to the problem at hand. He looked long and hard as Cinderblock prepared for his attack. He grinned mischievously at the villain and pulled from his utility what looked like two steel bow staffs just like Robins. He pushed a little button on the side, and the two rods folded out into Two side handle night sticks.

"I'll explain latter ok, but for now, we really need to take care of peewee over here." Raphael, watching his enemy very closely, took up his fighting stance. The rest of the team followed suit. Cy charged his cannon, BB turned himself into a pterodactyl and flew above, Star charged up her star bolts and hovered a few feet above the ground ready to dodge any attack that may come her way, and Raven gathered her energy into a ball in front of her.

With one last mighty Roar Cinderblock charged at the team at full speed. Cy fired his cannon, but failed to make even a scratch on the hard surface of the beast. Star fired her star bolts, which did little better than Cy's cannon.

Beast Boy grabbed Cy and quickly flew out of the way of the rampaging brute as did Star, but both Raphael and Raven stood their ground. The fiend came closer and closer and yet they didn't budge. they turned to each other and smirked menacingly.

At the very last second they jumped. Raven jumped to the left and wrapped her energy around Cinderblocks legs. Raphael jumped high into the air, twisting himself around, and slamming both his feat into the back of Cinderblocks head. Cinderblock landed square on his face and slid down the street.

Raven walked over to were Raphael stood. He smiled when he noticed her approaching.

"Nice work there Raven. I'm impressed." He congratulated as he strolled over to meet her half way.

"Nice job yourself. I'd say you did pretty well. Ya know, for a civilian." Raphael through his head back and laughed.

Sirens could be heard in the background while the rest of the team came running to congratulate them as well.

"Dude that was cool, you two were just like WHOOSH , WHAM, BAM!!!" BB replayed the battle complete with sound affects.

"Hey, Thanks man. Uh, no hard feelings about this mourning right?" Raphael chuckled rubbing the back of his head nervously. BB just smiled and gave his a thumbs up.

"Yeah man, you two make a really good team." Cyborg stated punching Raph playfully on the shoulder. Raven raised an eyebrow at Cy.

"What are you getting at?" Cy backed and put his hand up defensively.

"Yes, a task well done." Starfire beamed at the two heroes. She secretly hoped that this would change Raven's idea of her new friend.

"Just as I had suspected. This would be the best time to put my plan into action." Slade spoke aloud to himself as he switched off the monitor and walked away. This would be the perfect time to get rid of those pesky friends of his. And the sooner he could get rid of his pesky friends, the sooner he would have his apprentice.

"However," Slade contemplated, "this new recruit may pose a problem. Perhaps I should hold off on my plans. After all, We have all the time in the world."

Well there ya have it...... That's chapter 7......... Hope you enjoyed......... Yup.......... Anyway thanks to all of you who have reviewed it really helps. Well, Cya
