Disclaimer: I do not own the Teen Titans. I just own the plot.


The sun shone though the windows of Titans Tower's med lab, where a green kitten lay curled on the lap of a red haired girl. A half metal-half human man stood talking to a spiky haired boy. The object of the discussion was the fifth member of the team, who laid in a bed unaware of her surroundings.

"Do you know when she'll wake up, Cy? She took the potion hours ago." Robin asked of Cyborg. Cyborg took care of all the injuries of the Teen Titans

"I don't know, man. All her vitals check out." Cyborg told his friend, looking at the body of his little sis, as he called Raven. "Her body may just be resting, trying to handle her new powers." 'I just hope you wake up soon.'

"Friend Robin, why did friend Raven drink the potion of forbidden arts?" Starfire asked. She did not understand why her friend had drank the potion if it was harmful. "Why did she drink the potion if it was harmful?"

"It's a forbidden potion, not a potion of forbidden arts, Star. I don't know why she drank it either, but we can ask her when she wakes up." Robin told the alien. They sat in silence, waiting for her to awake.


'Where am I?' Raven thought. She looked around her. Everything around her was dark. Suddenly, out of the dark, a voice spoke.

"Welcome, Raven. You have a short time to learn to control your new abilities." the voice said. She could make out a figure standing about five feet in front of her.

It was male, that she could tell. As he walked closer, she saw he was dressed in a red, skin tight shirt. His pants were black with chains. He wore a pair of black combat boots. He wore a spiked collar and 5 earrings, 3 silver hoops in his left ear and 2 in his right.. His hair was a range of red, varying from a light red to a dark red, almost blood red. A small ball of flames rested in his hand.

"Py, quit scaring the poor girl. She's been though enough." a girl said. She wore a black tank top under a black fishnet shirt. Instead of pants, she wore a short plaid skirt. A pair of thigh chain boots, a chain belt, and a jeweled skull necklace completed her outfit. Most of her black hair was pulled into a messy bun held by chopsticks, all except the two blue streaks that framed her face. "Ignore him, Raven. He's so childish"

"Who are you two?" Raven asked.

"I'm Kira, and that is my boyfriend, Pyro. We're here to help you learn to control your new abilities. Well, he is. I'm just here to watch you train."

Soon the three were training and chatting like old friends. She learned that Kira and Aiden, Pyro's real name, were the owners of the new goth nightclub, Hell's Fury. Even though she was underage, they told her that she could get in, just mention their names at the door. She asked Aiden how his blood ended up in the potion. He told her of the night they had gotten drunk and had passed out at home, forgetting to lock the door. He said that Shadow must have come in while they were passed out.


"Rae! Shouts filled the med lab as their gothic friend woke up. Raven heard them and smiled softly to herself.

"Well, what are your new powers?" Beast Boy asked.

Raven sat up in the bed and looked at the papers on the desk a few feet away from her. The team watched as the papers busted into flames.

"Cool, fire control." Robin said, thinking of how helpful that could be in fights. As he thought about that, he thought, 'Then the blood in the potion must not have been Shadows after all.


It was Friday night, and every Friday night, the group would go out and have some fun. Everyone got a chance to say where they wanted to go and they, which meant Robin, would narrow down the choices to two and vote.

"Game arcade." BB yelled.

"Movies!" Cyborg yelled.

"May we go to the fair?" Starfire asked.

Robin really didn't care where they went. He just wanted out of the tower for a while to have some fun. All the villains they had been fighting was stressful. He was about to rule one of the choices out when the door slid open and out floated Raven. He felt his jaw drop, and heard the other guy's drop as well.

Raven was dressed in a black halter that showed off the belly ring she had. Her black leather skirt stopped about 4 inches above her knees, which showed off her long legs clad in knee high platform boots. Her eyes looked darker with the purple eye shadow and black eye liner. Her hair was pulled in to a messy bun held by chopsticks. (like Kira's was.)

"Going some where, Rae?" Cy asked.

"A few friends of mine invited me to Hell's Fury tonight."

"Hell's Fury! The new goth club that opened last week?" Robin asked, shocked. He wanted to go, but they had refused to let him in, even though he was a Teen Titan. "You can get in?"

" I know the owners of the place. Do ya'll want to come? Aiden and Kira said I could bring guests."

"Give us a few minutes to get ready." the guys said together. Starfire said nothing, jealous of the attention Robin and the others were giving Raven, but she still wanted to go to the club, so she flew off after the boys.Half an hour later, they were on there way to Hell's Fury.


I'm sorry that this is so late. My house was destroyed by Hurricane Katrina last year, and then I had to visit my mother in Houston. After the hurricane, my muses were in shock so, sorry!
