Chapter 5

Messages and problems

I don't own Teen Titans except Fate.

Six months had passed and life had been great for the titans. Jericho spent every moment he could with Kole and now they were going to get married. Beastboy was spending time with Raven and Fate was having the time of her life.

I've forgotten what it's like to have a family, she thought happily. Her thoughts were interrupted by the doorbell.

"Pizza's here!" Beastboy yelled. He walked to the door and opened it. Beastboy screamed and ran to the alarm box to set it off. Immediately everyone stopped what they were doing and raced to the living room.

"You wouldn't believe what's at the door!" Beastboy cried. Everyone stared at him in confusion.

"Robin, open the door."

Confused, Robin did what Beastboy said and froze. At the door was a half-man, half-bull with an axe and a creature with a lion body, wings on its back and a female head.

"Good day, young mortal," the creature said. "Please help us we implore."

"We're looking for the daughter of Hades, who goes by the name of Fate," the bull/man said.

"Minotaur, Sphinx" Fate said. "What are you doing here?"

"To give you a message," Sphinx answered. "Mount Olympus is in trouble and Zeus is furious with you. Did you bring someone back to life who has a good reason to live?"

"Yes," Fate answered. "I brought back a hero name Kole. Her reason is true love."

"Understandable," Minotaur said. "But Zeus is livid. He's planning on putting Kole's soul back into the underworld."

Jericho's eyes widen in horror. No, he signed desperately. Please. I love her and I've already lost her once. I can't lose her again.

Sphinx and Minotaur gazed at the blonde boy wearily. "A young lover. Looks like we're going to have to visit Zeus," Minotaur said.

"Very well," Sphinx said.

"Wait," Herald called. "Are we all going to go to Greece?"

"No," Minotaur said. "Only Fate and the two lovers can go. Fate because Zeus and Hades need her and the lovers because they need to pass some tests. However, the lovers may take four friends, two each."

Jericho and Kole looked at each other. Jericho pointed to Herald and Robin. Kole chose Ggnark and Cheshire. Sphinx nodded.

"Very well," she said. "Say goodbye and then it's time to leave."

Everyone hugged each other.

"Robin, you will be ok, yes?" Starfire asked.

"Of course Star," Robin smiled. "We'll all be fine."

"Be safe babe, ok?" Speedy asked as he kissed Cheshire.

"I'll be okay," Cheshire reassured him.

Fate turned blue. "Guys, we have to go. Goodbye everyone." Everybody waved as Fate, Jericho, Kole, Ggnark and Cheshire climbed on Sphinx's back with Minotaur and flew away to the heavens.
