Okay, so this chapter is bound to be a little confusing because of the whole Robin/Richard/Dick/Nightwing deal, but according to KORIstarfireANDERS, she approves of it and believesit is awesome. And that's a direct quote folks. Wrote that in my notebook, she did.
Lost No More
After a week after Kourtney's birth, Raven and the baby were allowed to leave the hospital. Raven still had amnesia though, and as Dick soon found out, it was worse than predicted. Ravwn still thought she was fifteen. But that wasn't the worst. She had to believe that she was in the hospital because of having a baby. She had no choice. But being married, that was a different story.
Dick had been stupid and not told Raven that she had married him and had the baby with him. He found out the hard way that back in the day, Gar Logan ha his Raven's heart. Raven truly believed that they (Gar and she) had given into passion and in doing so created the child now sleeping soudly in her arms.
The fact hurt Dick like a bullet straight to his head. His wife thought she was fifteen, lost her virginity to someone she didn't and thought she had a kid with the same person. All in all, Dick was handling the situation quite well.
Raven sat on her bed with the baby in her lap. Kourtney was sound asleep and Raven knew she should be too. But she couldn't. Her mind was with 'Robin' and refused to come back. That's what was bothering her. Raven knew she was a strong person and prided I herself for being so. In being strong, Raven knew she should be able to think about what she wanted to, not about the boy down the hall.
But something she couldn't put her finger on was keeping her from thinking about something else. So Raven did the only thing she cold think of. Raven put the sleeping Kourtney down on the bed. She hadn't had the time to go out and by a crib yet, so she put rails around her bed to keep the baby from falling off. She had to give it to herself, it was a good idea.
After making sure the baby was safe, Raven walked quietly out of her room. She knew that what she was doing was risky. She might tred on territory that ought naught be tred on. But Raven was willing to take that chance yet as long as she got more on what was going on. She walked quietly down the hallway as not to wake anyone. The only person she wanyed awake was 'Robin'.
Raven knocked on the boy's door as quietly as she could while also waking the boy that resided inside. He heard her knock but tried to ignore it. But Raven was persistant and countiued to knock, and even strated to whisper Robin through the door.
Sighing, Dick got up and opened the door, revealing his wife standing in front of him. He pulled her close to him and gave her a tight hug. For reasons unknown to Raven, she hugged him back. "Robin?" Dick let go of his wife. He had began to think her amnesia had gone. But he knew now he was wrong. "Yeah Raven?" "I have some questions about that night in the hospital. Is it okay if I ask you?" Dick nodded and gestured towards his bed. "What'd ya wanna know?"
Raven sat next to Dick but refused to look at him. "That night, you said I was married. I still don't believe you, but may I ask who is it I'm supposedly married to?" She now turned to face 'Robin' and saw his God awful stern face. "Robin?" "What's the point Raven, you'll just reject him!" Dick exclaimed, keeping his gaze in front of him. He knew he was on the verge of tears. Raven shifted herself so that she was facing the man she didn't know she was married to. "Please, Robin, just tell me. Dick looked up and faced Raven. "Alright, his name's Richard Grayson."
Raven looked confused. "I don't even know a Richard Grayson." Dick shrugged casually, even though he was being torn up inside. "Who knows?" Raven noddded. "So the baby's name is Kzourtney Grayson?" Dick chuckled. "Yeah, Kourtney. You, you should call her Kori for short." A look of consideration crossed Raven's face. "Kori, I like it." She got off 'Robin's' bed and headed out the door. "Thanks Dick." She said on her way out.

She must not have noticed, he thought. Even if Raven hadn't caught it, she called him Dick. He knew that it had to be a sign that her amnesia was wearing off. Then suddenly the alarm started to blare incessiantly. Dick rolled his eyes as he quickly rose and chamged into his Nightwing attire. This was not going to help the situation with Raven.
Nightwing ran into the main room and saw Cyborg looking up something on the Titans mainframe. Raven was standing next to Aqualad with a confused look on her face. "Okay, where's Beast Boy and Starfire? And why are Bumblebee and Aqualad here?"
Nightwing crossed his arms. "They're married. Star married Speedy and Beast Boy married Terra. Bumblebee and Cyborg are dating. Aqualad is here because we need him for the team, same with Bumblebee." Raven eyed Nightwing. "Okay, I'm starting to believe this whole this is my future charade." Nightwing smiled. Raven, however, was still confused by something. She pointed at a woman she didn't recognize. "Who's she?"
Nightwing looked at where his wife was pointing. Standing next to Aqualad was Lucy. "Oh, that's Aqualad's girlfriend. Her name's Lucy." Raven nodded in understanding. "Okay, Titans, we've got a Cinderblock situation on our hands. Let's go," Nightwing commanded. They all nodded and went their separate ways. All except Raven.
She was getting ready to take off in flight when Nightwing put his hand on her shoulder, stopping her. "Raven, can you ride with me?" he inquired. Raven sighed. "On one condition," sge said. Nightwing nodded. Suddenly a cd case came flying down the hallway and zoomed into Raven's hand. "We listen to what I want to." Nightwing grinned as if saying yes.

As Nightwing got into his car, he saw Raven thumbing through her cd's. When he turned on the car and she had stuck the cd in the player, Raven skipped to track eight and he dicovered it was Evanescence. Raven started singing along, her voice blending in perfectly with Amy Lee's. "You don't remember me but I remember you. I lie awake and try so hard not to think of you." Nightwing's mind began to wander. Raven did remember him as she should, and he had started laying awae trying not to think of her.
"But who can decide what they dream, and dream I do…" He dreampt of her every night.
"I believe in you. I'll give up everything just to find you. I have to be with you to live, to breathe, you're taking over me." He knew it was true. Raven consumed his every thought. Although Raven had amnesia and thought she was fifteen, Nightwing felt that it applied that it applied to he and his wife one hundred percent.
Raven continued to sing all the way to the scence of the crime. Bumblebee, Cyborg, and Aqualad were already out there kicking Cinderblock's butt. Both Raven and Nightwing jumped in with a powerful kick, now joining the fight. The two powerful kicks made Cinderblock's step falter, and he stumbled. Raven flew up and summoned her magic.
