This is it people. The exciting conclusion to Lost No More!

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Did I get you? I hope so. Well, this is the wedding chapter, so naturally, it's gonna be pretty mushy. Oh, and I would like to correct a mistake I had in the last chapter. When I said right hand man, I meant to put best man. My mind died right there.

I Was Lost

"Starfire, I can't do this." Raven said, panicking. Starfire took Raven by the shoulders and looked her in the eyes. "Raven, don't you love Richard?" she asked. "More than life itself." Came Raven's heart felt answer. "Then why can you not do this?" Raven smiled. "You're right, Kor, I can do this." Starfire returned the smile.

The music began. Richard waited nervously at the altar for his wife. Richard looked around him. He now realized that Raven was right; autumn was beautiful. He was glad that his soon to be wife had picked this spot.

Richard's heart began to beat faster as he saw his beautiful bride walking down the isle, veil trailing behind her, and Starfire carefully carrying the long train. He smiled at the woman's simple elegance. As Raven made her way up to where he was standing, he made a note to take all the pictures possible of her in that dress.

"Do you, Richard Grayson, take this woman, Raven Roth, to be your lawfully wedded wife?" asked the priest. "I do." Came his reply. "And do you, Raven Roth, take this man, Richard Grayson, to be your lawfully wedded husband?" the priest asked turning to Raven. "I do." Now came her reply. The priest smiled. "Richard, you may now kiss the bride." Richard almost grabbed Raven, entrancing her in the kiss that had now brought them together forever.

Raven through her bouquet behind her back for one of the guests to catch. Strangely enough, Cyborg was the on e to catch it, Bumble Bee by his side. While Cyborg blushed, Bumble Bee grinned. Everyone there knew that they would more than likely be at another wedding perhaps a year later.

Raven climbed into a limo, Richard sitting next to her on her left. Once she closed the door, she leaned over and kissed Richard on the cheek. "You know, I'm now Mrs. Richard Grayson. My mail's gonna have your name on it." Richard playfully rolled his eyes. "Yeah, but it'll say Mrs. instead of Mr." He replied. Raven leaned into Robin. "Do you remember right after I defeated my father?" she asked. Robin looked at his cuddling wife. "Yes." "Don't you think it's ironic that you said I have my whole life ahead of me?" "No, cuz it was and is true." "Yes, but it was you who said it. Now I'm married to you, and I'm sharing my future with you." Richard put his arms around his wife, pulling her closer. "Yeah, you're not Raven Roth anymore. You're Raven Grayson. My wife."

"We would like to thank all of you for being here to bear witness to this momentous occasion." Boomed Raven's voice. "I may be married now, but that doesn't matter. I may be Mrs. Richard Grayson, but I'll still be the Raven you know and love." Raven beamed at her speech. She knew many of her friends were down hearted because she was moving to Houston in a few months now that she was married. But she said she would call each of them almost every day. This gave them comfort, however, it didn't erase their sorrow.

"We love most of you here, although we don't know some of you." Richard said, indicating the press recording in the back. "You will be missed greatly. As Raven has already stated, we'll do our best to call you every day. But who cares about that now, this is a wedding reception, not a goodbye party, so let's go eat cake!"

Lights flashed as Raven and Robin cut their cake hand in hand. It had been a tall and thick cake, so it took awhile to get to the bottom, but it happened soon enough. They each got a piece of cake on a very pretty fork, and stuck it in each other's mouth, pictures snapping at this too.

Later that night:

"Are you ready yet, Raven?" yelled Nightwing down the hall. In his mind, Raven was taking way too long to pack for their honeymoon. "Hold your damn horses, Nightwing, I'm coming." Said woman said, trudging down the hall with three suit -cases in her arms. Nightwing rolled his eyes, and walked over to his wife, taking one of her suit – cases. Raven eyed him. "Don't you have to get your luggage too?" she asked. Nightwing shook his head. "Nope, put em in the T – Ship already." Raven just walked on by, going out the door, leaving for the elevator. Knowing if he didn't get his butt in with her, she'd leave him, he walked quite fast to the elevator.

"Raven, are you sure we're in the right place?" Richard asked when they arrived in Azarath. Raven chuckled. "Yep. Did you excpect something a little more like me?" He nodded. Raven pointed down a street. Our hotel is that way. After we settle in, I'd like you to meet Arella." A confused look came across Richard's face. "Arella? Who's that?" "You'll see, Dick, you'll see."

"Tell Lady Arella Lady Raven has come and would like a word." Raven said to the guard. Raven knew that Arella would be found here. After the Great Azar died, Arella practically became queen. Lady Arella came out, and Richard bowed. Raven, however, kept on her feet. "Lady Arella." Raven simply stated. "Lady Raven." A smile cracked over Raven's face. "It's so good to see you, mother." Richard shot up. "Mother!" Raven turned to her husband. "Mother, I would like you to meet my husband and your son – in – law, Richard 'Nightwing' 'Dick' Grayson." Arella smiled warmly at her new son – in – law. "Welcome," she said, "to Azarath, my son." Arella caught the well-built man in a hug. He hugged back. "Thank you, Lady Arella." "You may call me mother." She said warmly. This comforted Richard. His mother had died when he was young.

"So, tell me Richard, when did you fall in love with my daughter?" Arella asked. "Well, I think it was when she was Rebecca Ranth, and I discovered her at Wayne Manor." Arella nodded as if she accepted this answer. "I see. Raven has told me all about that incident. So, how do you like Azarath?" Richard looked around. "Honestly, I thought it would be a darker place. But I really like it. It's nice and peaceful here. It almost makes me wanna move here instead of Houston." "And why not? I'm sure Raven would love that." Both heads turned to Raven. But, since all the conversation was between Richard and his mother – in - law, she had fallen asleep. Arella got up and covered her daughter with a blanket, kissing her forehead. "I love you, my darling." She whispered as if Raven were a small child.

After several hours of Arella and Richard conversing, Raven woke up, eyes red with sleep. When she rubbed her eyes, it seemed that the sleep was erased from them. "How long have I been asleep?" she asked. Richard stood up. "About three hours, sweet pea." "You guys are so boring." Said Raven. Richard chuckled. "If Mother doesn't mind, could we go back to the hotel?" he asked both women at the same time. Both nodded. So ended Raven and Nightwing's first day of being on their honeymoon.

Footnotes:

'Ello, fans. Hope this was a good chapter. I like it. And I think it's longer than the others are. But I can't be sure. But don't sue me if it's not. Next chapter should take the newly weds into the darkest secrets that no couple should keep. Well, Raven's one secret, I guess. But hey, my mind works funny.
