[ONE WEEK LATER ]

I high kick this guy in the face, allowing my magic to continue to hold his friend. He falls to the ground cradling his broken nose blood falling from his face fast. I throw the other guy to the side allowing for Jason, in his Red X suit to buzz passed them. He grabs one by the collar pinning him up against the wall. I keep a look out for anyone who could have seen anything.

"Where the fuck is your boss? He wants to a put a hit out on someone then he better make sure he can handle it when they come to him" He growls the man shakes his head his eyes wide from what I can feel is fear.

"They don't tell us where he is hiding. After the Titans pulled him in he has doubled his security and secrecy. I am just here for the supplies. I drop it to a location and they drop it to another until eventually he gets it" He manages out trying to further his face from Red X's. Red X tosses him aside he turns to me.

"Come on we won't find anything here" He says I nod and run to him allowing him to teleport us back to the house. He rips off his mask and throws it onto the couch, I can sense his frustration.

"J it's fine we will figure it out" I say he shakes his head and runs his hands through his hair.

"When? He has a hit out on you and the guy I used to be in that glamour. He will only find one of us. Why can't I kill him again?" Jason asks, he is fuming mulling over every option available. The team already knows and is working on it from their end but have come up short. If we want results we will have to find a detective that can do better than Jason and Robin. That seems like the only option Jason is completely against.

"We don't kill people...please J can we can try to think of another option. Maybe I can do a different glamour. So that we can still go out and get supplies without worrying about someone getting to me for the hit or getting to you for...being you" I say he thinks it over.

"How are we going to get another glamour? You know how expensive those are? You won't let me steal so how will we get the money for that?" he asks me, it is a valid question. He is forgetting though that the Titans will be able to help in that manor. Especially since they know about the hit. They wouldn't want me putting myself at risk. When I am in the glamour I just can't use my powers. For any reason. Unless I am sure that they won't be able to find me out.

"I can ask Cyborg. You already know he would help me out. He programmed the first one" I say he continues to think it over.

"Fine...you fucking good guys and your no killing rule is really ruining my rep" He says turning on his heel and heading to the kitchen. I follow after him grabbing his arm.

"What the fuck is that supposed to mean?" I say, I know what he means. He hates that working with a Titan means he can't kill anyone. Him wanting to kill someone so bad just means that he truly is a bad guy. Killing people shouldn't be something you need to do.

"You know exactly what I mean. This wouldn't be an issue if you let me take care of Conner. You would rather put yourself at risk and me. You know just because I have helped you a bunch in the past month does not mean that I want to risk my life for you every day" He snaps. I nod and shrug

"Then don't. I'll leave. You go do your thing and I will go do mine." I say he shrugs.

"Fine by me Princess" he mutters.

I don't waste any time teleporting back to the tower. I land right in the middle of the comm room. Beastboy jumps a mile hiding behind the couch, Cyborg looks up from the stove over to me and turns the stove off running to me grabbing me up into a big hug.

"Oh my god thank god you are safe, we hadn't heard from you in a hot minute it was starting to worry me" He says I hug him back.

"Yeah dude, you had us all worried there" Beastboy chimes in, I knew they were worried but for a minute I thought that I didn't need to be involved in this. I didn't want them involved it in. If I was being honest with myself I just didn't trust that the leader of the Titans wouldn't throw me back to the wolves.

"Friend Raven!" I hear Starfire scream as she tackles me into a bone breaking hug. "I was so worried that you were never coming back!"

"Why? I wouldn't stay away for good, just had some stuff to take care of" I lie, she squeezes me once again before letting go and standing back watching me with a smile. I hear the office door open and I turn around my eyes meeting Robin's. He looks like shit. He hasn't shaved in quite sometime and it looks like he hasn't slept. Seeing him for the first time since that night makes my heart hurt. A small feeling of twisting goes on through my stomach.

"Raven" is all he says, his voice seems normal but I can tell seeing me hurts him. It's our bond I can feel it through him. No doubt he can feel the same with me.

"Conner didn't like that I got away. He has put a hit out on me. Not Rachel..Me" I say Cyborg nods and guides me to the computer.

"This is everything we got on him so far. You told us where he was doing his business and we checked it out but it looks like they moved everything out in a hurry. They must have known that you being a Titan meant their all operation was about to go down hill." Cyborg says Beastboy nods and slides in next to us looking at the screen.

"Yeah, they didn't even bother cleaning up the place either. Just got their stuff and ditched" He says

"I don't know where else they could be. I have been looking for them but I was never able to find anything" I say. I feel like I should tell them about my time with Jason. Though the time I spent with Jason was...wrong. He can't do the hero thing and that is all I know how to do. If Robin knew I was with him he would stop at nothing to find him. Especially if he found out who Jason really is.

"Why didn't you come home" Robin asks, everyone turns to him including me. He leans against the arm of the couch his arms folded in front of him. He's hurt.

"I wanted to find more information first" I lie, he shakes his head. That reason isn't good enough for him he wants me to tell him it was because of him. He needs me to verify everything he has been telling himself since I made that call.

"Look, we need to talk...and we will but right now I want to get all the information I know to Cyborg so that he can make sure that we get this guy. The mission comes first remember?" I say the last part was probably adding salt to his wounds. I turn back to Cyborg and nods. He turns back to the monitor and opens a security camera footage, the titans grabbing Conner and bringing him here.

"You had him?" I ask Cyborg nods.

"We did...we have no idea how he got out but he did. He escaped while we were sleeping. The police were supposed to come the next day and collect him but he got away before they did" Cyborg explains hanging his head low is disappointment.

How did Conner get out of here without anyone noticing? Without the alarms going off either? Were the alarms even set to go off? Cyborg built the alarm system in the cell a while ago but we have never had to use it. It is very possible that he simply just didn't set it or whoever put him in the cell didn't know how. Robin doesn't say anything for the rest of the debriefing. He sits back on the couch and listens, I can feel his pain and frustration rolling off on him every now and then as we go through everything. I leave out the part about hanging out with Red X and Jason Todd. It isn't my place to bring him back for Robin. We finish the debriefing and everyone sort of goes off in their own way. Beastboy hooks up his video game and turns it on while Cyborg pats my on the back and gives my shoulder a reassuring squeeze. I know he is happy to have me home. Starfire sits down on the couch with her perfect posture looking at the video game loading screen. I turn around to head up to my room to finally change into something other than the clothes I have been wearing for a week or so now. However Robin stops me by placing a gentle hand on my forearm. I look at him regardless of how much it hurts to.

"Can we talk?" He asks, I think about saying no for a second. I quickly push the thought out of my head and slightly nod, letting him lead me to his office. It smells like stale coffee and sweat. He must have been spending most of his time in here.

"I just...I wanted a chance to explain everything to you. I know that I haven't been in touch with you as of late, and even if I was I know that you haven't been in the mood to talk to me" Robin explains I scoff and fold my arms across my chest.

"I wonder why" I say sarcastically

"I didn't mean to blame you for what happened. I know my orders were to not use your powers. I was mostly just upset that you didn't even try to ask questions you just accepted it." He says I crease my brows and lean against the desk looking down at my feet. I can't even believe he is still trying to justify this. Or maybe I can. After speaking with Jason about him nothing he says surprises me. I think less of him.

"I should have been more upfront with you about everything you are my girlfriend I shouldn't have kept you in the dark." He says

"Was" is all I can say without seething

"What?"

"I was your girlfriend." I say, this time I lock my eyes on him, I can feel through our bond that it hurt him. He must not have known if it was actually over or if I had just said that in the heat of the moment.

"Raven you can't seriously be willing to throw our whole relationship away because of this?" He replies his voice confused.

"Over this? You mean when you sent me in as bait to a college where not only Red X was but a sex trafficker. Whom you didn't tell me about, you made me his type, and then when I was sexually assaulted you blamed me for not breaking your orders or stopping him to ask questions. What do you want me say? 'Hey before you throw me on the ground and try to rip open my shirt are you Red X?' No no that's not all I'm breaking up with you for. Did you forget you have been cheating on me?" I spit, I didn't know how angry I was with all of this until now, when venom drips off of my every word.

"I-you-how did you..." His voice trails off

"You know I had been trying to be the best and most understanding girlfriend since I dropped in on you guys. I thought it was my fault. I followed more orders, even when I thought they were dumb. I just didn't want you to end up back in bed...with her." I reply his eyes drift from mine to the floor. I knew he didn't know that I knew, but surely he can't be this surprised. "Richard, I forgave Star...she wasn't the one who said she was mine. You were. I just don't think we work together anymore. Relationship wise."

"Why didn't you tell me you knew?" He asks, I shrug

"Besides the point. What really tipped me in the way of ending this was how you treated me that night. I needed you Robin" I say, now the anger leaves and I feel the tears start up in my eyes, I push them back and take a centering breath. " I know I wouldn't let it go too far. If Jason hadn't showed up when he did I would have done something. Regardless of that though...you had no right to talk to me to that way. You have no right to think that I accepted it in any way "

"You did! As soon as he got you alone you could have beat his ass. You could have asked questions but you let him hurt you!" Robin says, his voice raises slightly

"I tried to Jackass! How else do you think I ended up with a giant bruise and a split eyebrow! How do you think my wrist got broken! I didn't just roll over that is pure evidence that I tried to fight him. You are just such a man you can't seem to wrap your head around it and that is fine. But just know that I can't be with someone with thinks that way. This conversation is over. Get the fuck over yourself Richard." I snap and turn on my heels walking out of his office. I leave him in there staring at the floor he doesn't say anything as I leave.


[Two days Later]

The first sip of my tea is always the best, I inhale the amazing smell of earl grey and exhale deeply. I finally got to meditate as long as I need to and it definitely got my emotions back in order. I didn't even notice until I meditated how out of control my emotions were. It's funny how that works, I never realize how out of control they are until I put them back in control. It feels also nice to be back in my uniform, out of street clothes.

The clouds outside are looming over, it hasn't rained yet but it might. It could happen at any moment, the clouds feel darker with every passing minute but that might just be the mood I have set my room to. I take another sip of my tea enjoying it while it's still hot. I sit on the floor with my legs in the lotus position but not to meditate. A book is cradled in my legs. I sit my tea back down besides me and turn the page. War and Peace in it's original Russian has more details than the English version. Sometimes when translators don't know the exact translation they just leave it out. No one who reads the English version alone would ever get that, however being lucky enough to know Russian I have caught on to this. A knock on my door tears me from my book, I use my powers to open the door and allow Starfire to walk in. She looks at me from the floor but doesn't say anything. She just sits next to me moving my tea to in front of me. I place a book mark in the page and close the book setting it on my other side.

"Yes?" I monotone. I can tell she is hurting, feeling guilty and just overall not doing so well.

"Friend Robin told me you know about what happened" She says, her voice isn't it's normal cheerful tone. It has taken on something sadder.

"I do" I reply she tucks her legs to her chest and looks down at her knees.

"I don't know exactly how to express what I am feeling. I do not feel the happiness and the joy. I seem to be the pressed" She says

"You mean Depressed?" I ask she nods and squeezes herself closer to herself.

"Star, I forgave you a long time for that. Just like you forgave me dating him when we both knew you liked him. You didn't go to him thinking it was going to happen you went to make him feel better. He is the one who fucked up. He is the one whi kept going back fir more" I express putting a hand ontop of hers. I am not good at comforting people, it's hard to know what someone needs and I would rather not try. However when it comes to Star, when it comes to this situation I know exactly what to do.

"Yes, only you are my friend. The friend code says I should not have done the conjoining of body parts" She says, I can't help but chuckle at her explanation of sex.

"Star you are my friend, but he was my boyfriend. He was the one who was supposed to stay loyal to me. Did it hurt for a while? Yes. Do I think you should have had the realization it wasn't right before it happened yes. It happened already though. Plus...the guilt you felt around me since then? Every time you slept together you felt so much guilt you didn't even act like yourself. That was enough for me to know that I shouldn't be mad at you" I explain, she doesn't say anything for a minute. Probably trying to test how she feels now that I have said all this.

"Star...we are good. I promise" I say after a short while of nothing but silence. A tear falls down her cheek and she looks at me with her huge green eyes, they sort of remind me Jason's bringing my thoughts back to him for a slight minute. I miss him, not just his presence but his voice, his humor, his dick which has to have been carved by the devil himself with how addicting it is.

"Thank you" She says wiping the tear away from her cheek and letting her smile come back to her lips. I can't help but smile myself. Before I could say anything else the alarm for the tower goes off alerting us both to attention. We spring to action racing down to the comm room where Cyborg and Robin stand in front of the screen. Beastboy sits on the couch awaiting for them to tell us what is going on.

"Dr. Light is attacking a power plant on the other side of town, TITANS GO!" Robin yells, Star and I race out the door taking flight Beastboy as a hawk flying slightly behind us. I can see Cyborg in the T-car and Robin on his cycle down below us. It seems like it took too long but in real time it only took us about 5 minute to get there. Star and I land first as Beastboy turns back into himself landing next to us. Robin and Cyborg pull up shortly after hopping out hastily.

"Give it up now Light" Robin commands.

Dr. Light turns to us a smile spread across his thin lips, he doesn't say anything just aims a weapon connected the grid on us. I quickly put up a shield as he launches his attack. It hits against my shield hard and it takes me by surprise knocking me back into the wall of the building. Starfire is already on top of him gathering his attention. I quickly get up as Beastboy turns himself into a Cheetah and racing to him grabbing him by the foot. Dr. Light kicks trying to get Beastboy off of him as he shoots his light beams at Starfire. She throws a Starbolt at him hitting him square in the back of his suit. Cyborg lifts his canon and aims it Dr. Light while Robin flips over the two of us pointing his bow staff at Dr. Light's neck.

"I said Give it up" He grinds, Dr. Light forces out a laugh and drops his weapon pointing it at Beastboy before any of us has time to react launches a beam. It hits Beastboy's back causing him to yelp in pain and let go. Robin kicks the weapon away and throws his punches As Star hit him with another Starbolt. He has upgraded his suit again this much is apparent. I rush to Beast boy as he turns back into himself, his back is blistered with burns. While the others are distracted I set my hand to his back healing him even if it's a little bit. He groans and grinds his teeth.

"You are no match for the new and improved Dr. Light!" He yells pressing a button on his chest, the light circle on his chest charges up shooting out a beam that burns Robin's arm. He rolls away and grimaces. He looks back at me as I remove my hands from Beastboy, Starfire keeps his distracted while I make my way towards . Robin grabs my arm before I get close yanking me back.

"You are not going by yourself" He demands I shake off his hand and walk again but he moves me aside pushing me on to the floor. I growl and stand back up pushing him back with a shield as I get close to Dr. Light, I allow my second eyes to glow and I fling darkness around him his eyes grow wide and turns a pale color.

"You-you-you don't scare me anymore" He pushes out I release a loud growl and fling two dark arms at him picking him from the floor and covering his chest. He whimpers in the talons and releases a cry.

"Okay okay I stop, I will stop please. Don't hurt me" He pleads. I smirk and throw him back to the floor letting the shock take over for me. Cyborg places the cuffs on him and unhooks the weapon from the power plant.


Jason's POV

I knew what everyone says about Raven, bad guys talk every once in a while but I had never seen her look so...hellish. She had the "New and improved" Dr. Light giving up after only a few seconds of whatever it what she was doing. I sit perched on a building a couple feet away, hiding behind the shadow of a third story. I had half of a mind to go down there myself when Robin pushed her to the floor, I knew she could handle herself I just wanted to show bird brain why he doesn't touch women like that. Especially not his teammates, and if they are your ex girlfriend. She had to hold him back just so she could get this mission done which says a lot about how he leads his team. I watch as they finally get him loaded up in a car after his new suit had been taken off and given to Cyborg, he no doubt would take it apart once again and keep the power generators.

"Damn Sunshine" I whisper to myself as I watch her talk to Beastboy healing his back. He got hit pretty hard, his back was black and reddish green but now looks little less severe. It's hard to tell with his skin being green and all. Her hands are covered in a light blue light as she runs it over his back over and over. It keeps looking better while she looks more pale. Robin cradles his arm which was also burned but his looks worse, she hasn't even tried to heal him yet.

I have to admit I was little upset when she left, when we argued I didn't think she would leave that soon. Since I haven't had any bat kids or the Titans knocking down my door I am going to assume that she hadn't told them who I was. Watching her all I could feel was what I missed about her, how calm she made me. I could tell that she was doing something for me, making me less violent, less aggressive. Even my nightmares seemed to stop when I was sleeping next to her, she radiates such calmness. A feeling that I haven't felt in a long time. She gave me a feeling I don't think I can dissect. It's a lot. Normally sex is just that. Sex. With her I feel something else. It's so good it's like finding a perfect puzzle piece.

The rest of the cops leave while the Titans talk, Robin hops onto his baby bird cycle and heads out, while Cyborg takes Beastboy with him in his weird Cyborg car. Beastboy must be still hurt a little but. Raven locks eyes with Starfire and smiles to her. It doesn't take long before they both leave to, leaving me on the rooftop on my own. I would be lying if I said I didn't want her near me again. I didn't mean to be so rude to her and now that she is gone I find myself wishing that I was more like Robin, in the good sense. Fighting on the side of good once again, but it is far too late for that. The clouds that have been looming over all day finally decide to drop rain down. It start pattering on the ground hard. This may be the rain but a storm will be coming soon. That I know.
