Disclaimer: I do not own the Teen Titans

Author Note: The first part of this chapter was inspired by Edgar Allen Poe's poem The Raven.

I just got a job so I thought I would celebrate by posting the ending to my story. That and the fact that this is my last chance to do so because I won't be able to come the public library and use the internet very often anymore. So here is the final chapter I hope you enjoy it.rlm

Blinded By the Light

For the first night in a very long time Dr. Light is finally able to relax-although he still keeps a nightlight burning. He wakes up when he hears a knock at the door but when he goes to open it no one is there. He is about to go back to bed when he hears it again. He realizes this time that it is coming from the window. He opens it only to almost be knocked down by something rushing inside. He turns on the overhead light to find a white raven perched on top of the helmet of one of his spare suits. At first he thinks its some sort of albino or leucistic bird but that thought quickly dies as he sees that this raven has violet eyes and a tiny red gem on its forehead.

"N—no! It can't be—you're dead! I killed you!" Dr. Light aims a ball of light at the bird but it flies away easily dodging the blast. Dr. Light continues firing blasts of light at the bird but all he accomplishes is destroying spare parts for his light suits.

The Titans remain close by as the city corner arrives to collect the body of their fallen friend. They stare at the fire, which now consumes several of the nearby buildings it seems that since the block was slated for demolition the fire department is letting the fire finish the job. The Titans are startled when their communicators go off signaling that there is trouble.

Cyborg looks at the readout on his arm. "Oh man…not now."

Robin looks at each of the remaining Titans before he speaks. "I know none of us feel up to this but we have to do it."

Starfire wraps her arms around herself and looks away. "I am feeling nothing but the sadness right now. I do not feel the emotions necessary to unleash my powers."

Beast Boy looks up from the pebble he's been staring at for sometime now. "Raven would want us to go on."

Robin holds out his hand with the palm facing downward. "Let's do this for Raven."

Cyborg places his hand on top of Robin's. "For Raven."

"For Raven." Beast Boy places his hand atop the others.

Starfire starts to move hesitantly at first before finally placing her hand on the others. "For Raven."

"Titans Go!" Robin follows Cyborg to the T-car. Beast Boy takes to the air as a raven in honor of their fallen friend. Starfire watches Beast Boy fly away before she finally summons the emotions necessary to unleash the power of flight.

Across town the Titans find Dr. Light in the street throwing balls of light at something in the sky. They hang back to assess the situation as they hear him yell.

"Why won't you die!"

The Titans look up to see the white Raven they saw fly away when Raven died.

Robin stares at the bird in awe. "She lead us to him."

Beast Boy scratches his head. "Dr. Light killed her? But he's just…pathetic."

Robin turns to face the other Titans. "Raven told him she was sorry for the time she lost control and attacked him."

"But Dr. Light does the freaking out whenever he sees her." Starfire is just as puzzled by the revelation that Dr. Light was responsible for Raven death as Beast Boy is.

Cyborg however catches on to what Robin is saying. "He wanted that to stop."

Robin turns back around to look at Dr. Light. "And the only way he could stop it was to kill her."

Starfire quickly lights up her starbolts and starts to fly toward Dr. Light. "Raven must have vengeance."

Robin places his hand on Starfire's shoulder holding her back. "No, Starfire."

Beast Boy steps up bedside Starfire. "No? He killed our friend."

Robin lets go of Starfire before he continues. "Raven wanted to tell me that we're heroes and we can't forget that just because of what happened. She led us to Dr. Light so we could capture him and get him the help he needs."

Cyborg charges up his sonic cannon. "Alright then—lets do this."

The Titans turn their attention back to Dr. Light but he stops when he sees them.

"You've got to keep her away! Make her leave me alone!"

Robin walks cautiously toward Dr. Light. "She's only here to see that you get help. She never meant to hurt you."

"I don't need help. I need her to stay dead!" Dr. Light turns around suddenly and fires another blast at the white raven circling overhead. This time he hits his target.

"No!" A collective yell is heard from the Titans as they spring into action. Beast Boy transforms into a wolf and tackles Dr. Light. Starfire helps to hold him down while Cyborg disables his suit. Robin rushes toward the falling bird as it's hit and falls from the air. He dives to the ground just managing to catch it before it slams into the ground.

"Raven please be okay…we can't loose you again."

The bird lays unmoving in Robin's hands. For the first time Robin notices the red gemstone on its forehead.

"I'm not going anywhere Robin…I'll always be here to watch over you."

Robin looks around but all he sees is the police arriving to take Dr. Light away. Seeing no one else near by Robin realizes the voice he heard was in his head. As he looks back down at the bird in his hands it transforms into white energy. As the other Titans gather around it takes the form of the same raven shape that their friend used to do with her dark powers. The Titans stand there watching the white energy form of the raven fly off into the night.

Author Note: That's end of this story. My creative writing instructor in college told me I needed to work on endings because that was the weakest part of my stories. So basically I started toying around with fan fictions so I could write short stories outside of class to practice my endings. This one probably isn't all that great but as I mentioned at the beginning of the first chapter this story was written in one night when the power went out. I gave myself a time limit for when the power came back on. We used to do that in class sometimes. I hated it then because it's hard for me write an original fiction story without tons of outlines and planning first. I thought I would try doing a time limit for a fan fiction for the fun of it. So now that I've finished my rambling please leave a review and let me know what you thought of the story. Comments on how I could improve my writing skills would be greatly appericated.
