I do not own Teen Titans.

Chapter 11. Not really pleased with this chapter. It's a little all over the place but it'll have to do I'm afraid. I might change it later if I feel like it. Happy reading!

Date: - Present day.

Time: - Night.

Whereabouts: - Jump City, Titan Tower, main room.

The Titans were sat in the main room. They had a multiplayer adapter that Cyborg had just bought and they were playing four players on some sort of space car game. Beastboy's car was being rammed by Starfire's who seemed to think that the point to the game was to destroy each others car. That left Cyborg and Robin to race head to head and Cyborg was just in front. He grinned as the finish line was just second away when a large black flame appeared over the Kitchen. No one noticed it until it imploded and a mask wearing figure fell from it, hitting the kitchen floor below. Cyborg's car crashed into Robins and Beastboy leaped into Starfire's arms in shock. Everyone turned to the kitchen. A hand then slammed on the counter and everyone watched as the figure pulled itself up to it's feet before pulling off the mask to review Raven. She looked at them dazed for a second as they all stared at her. She then felt something in her hand and looked to see what it was. In the palm of her hand laid a small, black raven broach with a silver rose in its beak.

'He must have put it in my hand when he grabbed me.' she though before she heard the Titans speak.

"Raven? Are you okay?" Cyborg asked looking worried. Cyborg and Robin now on their feet just outside the kitchen while Beastboy was still in Starfire's arms.

"Where is it you came from?" Starfire asked looking up.

"You're back sooner than I thought," Robin said with a raised eyebrow.

"Why? Have you been gone somewhere?" Beastboy asked as Raven walked round the counter and in full view of the other Titans. "…while looking that hot!?!?" he asked as he turned into a wolfs and he gave a howl. It was at that point Starfire dropped the shapeshifter.

"I err…" Raven said just noticing that she was still in Kim's dress.

"I am very confused," Starfire said looking at Raven. "Where have you been gone? Why are you dressed like that and why did you fall out of the ceiling?"

"Raven went to England to try and get some information of that Cult that we fought the other day," Robin answered for her even though he wasn't sure about the dress or the graceful fall into the kitchen.

"The only way I could meet Last-Dance was at a ball that the village hall so I had to dress for the occasion and I had to rush back here so I didn't have time to get my destination perfect," Raven said thinking. "Did you guys seriously not realise I wasn't home all day?"

"What village?" Cyborg asked still looking confused to what was going on.

"Last-Dance!" Beastboy said in shock. "You got to see Last-Dance!? That's so cool… who's Last-Dance?" Beastboy asked as Raven eyed him.

"Why is the name familiar?" Starfire asked thinking.

"He's that little punk who attacked us when we first formed!" Cyborg growled punching into how own fist.

"He's a hero apparently," Robin said as he got the attention from the team. "He had defeated the Cult back in England so Raven went to ask him about them."

"So why did he attack us? Some hero. Didn't he know we were on the same side as him?" Beastboy asked annoyed.

"He wanted to see how good we were," Raven said as all attention returned to her. "He said that he was here on a mission and wanted to see what we were capable of," she said but felt the need to leave out that his mission was to kill Raven.

"So, is he defiantly on our side then?" Robin asked to make sure as Raven nodded. "So, did you find out about why they were here?"

Raven nodded, "they were here to find a key."

"A key?" Robin repeated, thinking. "What kind of key could they be looking for?" Robin asked himself.

"The offspring of a demon," Raven said more quiet than usual as everyone looked at her.

"You mean you?" Cyborg asked looking worried.

"Yeah," she nodded. "I didn't really get anything else out of him because we were attacked by some creature."

"Wait, let me get this strait," Beastboy said looking confused. "You went all the way to England to some Village just because of those creepy monk guys who we really didn't care much about to find a guy who kicked our butts some four years ago who happened to have fought them before and informed you that there after you so they can bring back your dad again?" Beastboy said all at once with out taking a breath.

"Errm… I'm surprised you've been listening enough to get all that really," Raven said thinking about what he said. "But yes, that's right."

"Oh, okay then," he said panting from lack of breath.

"Hm, looks like we're going to have to keep a close eye on you for a while then, Raven," Robin said looking at the sorceress.

"But they were taken down so easily," Beastboy moaned. "I'm sure they will be just as easy to take down next time too," he said as Robin eyed him.

"All the same, I want you to watch yourself and always be with one of the Titans," Robin said to Raven as she looked up at him.

She knew he was right. For all she knew, that black creature that attacked herself and Last-Dance may have been part of the Devil's hand. She nodded to Robin before despairing into the floor and appearing again in her bedroom. The room seemed stuffy so she instantly used her powers to open the window slightly. She then walked over to her bed but stopped as she saw her reflection in the mirror. She looked at the dress she was wearing and had to admit that she looked good in it but she was going to have to give it back to the kind inn keeper at some time. She then looked down in her hand, remembering the bird with the rose. She looked at it and then jumped as she thought she saw its eye move.

"I must be tired," She said, shaking it off and then decided to take a shower.

She took off the dress and put it on a hanger, careful not to mess the material then closed the bathroom door behind her. She came out a while later in her bed wear and went to bed. She was tired after the trip to England. She woke up at 9 in the morning which surprised her as she usually woke early. She glanced over to her bed side cabernet and noticed the bird that Last-Dance had given her. She raised an eyebrow as she didn't remember putting it there.

"Why did you give me this?" she asked herself touching it.

The bird then opened its mouth startling Raven. She dropped it on the floor and backed up towards the wall. The bird then moved and slowly grew to the size of a living raven, the rose still in its mouth.

"What the… this can't be happening," she said shocked.

The bird then stood up and stared at her before lowering the silver rose on the bed and bowing to her. She slowly moved towards the bed and picked up the rose, not taking her eyes of the bird. The bird just watched and then nodded before Raven picked it up. She looked at the rose finally after being sure that the bird would not attack. The rose had a label attached to it and she read it.

'To my dearest Raven, this is my present to you. You don't have to worry; it will bring no harm to you. It is but a simple spell. If ever you need me, tell the raven and it will find me no matter what. You're sincerely, Last-Dance.'

Raven then looked up at the raven that seemed to look at her through innocent eyed. She hesitated at first, but then moved a hand towards it and gave it a gentle stroke on the head. It accepted the stoke with pride as it opened its wings out and puffed out its chest. The alarm suddenly went off startling both Raven and the bird. The raven cowed looking round as Raven smiled at it.

"Don't worry. I'll be back in no time," she said then despaired through the floor leaving the bird alone in the room. The bird then looked over to the window that was open slightly.

She entered the main room where the rest of the Titan's were waiting. She looked at the main computer and saw a large Red beast that was destroying a computer shop.

"Titans, go!" Robin yelled as Cyborg and Robin rushed to the T car and Raven, Starfire and Beastboy took to the air.
