She was back at the tower with her friends in her old room. She will never forget that fateful night. For months, she mourned over his death. Her teammates tried to help her with her loss, but they didn't understand the pain she was going through. She knew that deep down, they were happy that he was dead.

It was good to see her teammates getting back to their normal lives. Titans East said their goodbyes and went back to their city; Changeling was back to telling his corny jokes and playing with Cyborg. Starfire and Nightwing still had their rocky moments here and there in their relationship, but the trials made them stronger as a couple. If anything, shortly after Slade's death, they announced their engagement. Everything was going back to normal, except for her.

"Azarath, metrion, zinthos. Azarath, metrion, zinthos."

Raven sighed and took in the sun's warm rays. Her legs were crossed and her hair was blowing in the cool morning wind. The bay's water shimmered and dance when the light cascaded off of its color.

Her friends were happy, but she wasn't; It simply was not the same with them. She missed Slade. Never did she think that an evil criminal would create such an impact on her life in such a way. Sometimes she wondered to herself. Why did she fall in love with him? What made him so appealing to her? Then she would think back to the times they shared together. Sensually and emotionally.

She got to her feet, turned and walked back into the Tower to her room. Raven opened one of her ancient books and continued to read. Since the day they buried him, she's been looking for a spell. A spell to bring him back. Trigon was able to do it, so she sees no reason as to why she couldn't either.

Because of her long searching, she excluded her friends. She felt awful for doing such a thing to the people who really cared the most for her, but love is a powering tool that can blind logic.

She would see them during battle or during their occasional pizza hangouts, but anything further, she would not participate in because of the time spent away on the books.

At the night of the fight, the team found out about her and Slade's relationship. They discovered her holding Slade's large lifeless body and her hysterically crying into him. It wasn't something they approved of, obviously, especially Nightwing, but they didn't ask any more of the topic. It was a touchy subject that neither of them wanted to talk about.

Raven turned another page in the book and gasped when she read the title. She quickly sprang from her bed and searched her room for all of the ingredients that the book listed in order. She opened the vial of a blue powder which she drew in a circle at the center of her room. She grabbed other intricates from her shelves and placed them along the powdery ring, She lit the candles in her room and looked at the end result. She glanced at the book then back to her creation.

"Good thing the others are away."

Raven bent at the chest that was at the foot of her bed. She took out a key that was hidden behind her mirror then used it to open the lock of the trunk. Once she removed it, she took hold of the object that she held dear to her.

She held Slade's mask close to her chest with care. After the fight with Omen, she managed to salvage his mask that was resting in the rubble. None of her team members noticed this, thankfully, and since then, she kept it as a memorabilia of him.

She placed the mask in the center of the circle then nodded her head in approval. She placed the book on her podium then began to chant the spell that was written in the book. As she said the chant, the ring started to glow white and a force was made in the shape of the circle of the powder.

Raven stared in amusement but continued to speak the spell. When the spell was finished, Slade's mask started to levitate in the middle of the ring. The circle started to circulate around it for what seemed like forever to Raven.

The white force began to mold the bodily physique of Slade. Raven couldn't contain her disbelief and excitement. She walked away from the podium and closer to the phenomena. She saw the force build the human body. The skeleton was formed then the nervous system, his muscles, blood then skin, and hair,

When the magical process was complete, Raven fell to her knees. She didn't realize it while watching the creation, but the spell took most of her energy. In all, she didn't care one bit.

The ring's white glow started to fade and the naked body appeared complete. When the magic stopped, Raven got to her feet and scrambled to the body in the center of her room. At first, she was cautious, but she was confident that it was her Slade.

Slade's body laid limp on the floor. When Raven reached him, his body turned from dead gray to a fair-skinned complexion. His eyes popped open and his mouth opened wide, gasping desperately for air. Raven panicked at first but kept her arms around his body to control him. He was shaking and trying to get up. Raven used her powers to wrap around his body and prevent him from getting up and hurting himself in his state of confusion and shock. He must be facing the aftereffects of the spell and adjusting to life once more.

"Calm down, Slade," Raven said through gritted teeth as she continued to keep the shaking man down.

After a couple more seconds of thrashing, he started to calm down and his heartbeat began to rest. She gave a sigh of relief then slowly rubbed her hands over his bare chest when he started to lose unconsciousness. Soon, he was asleep in her arms.

Raven smiled down at him. Slade. The man who died in her arms months ago. The criminal who stole her heart was here, alive and breathing. Raven silently laughed with tears running down her face. She tightened her hold on his sleeping form and continued crying tears of joy.

Slade stirred then opened his eyes. "Where am I?"

He turned and scanned the room. It looked familiar, but he was in too much of a state of blankness to remember.

"Slade!"

Slade looked up and saw Raven running towards him from the door with a plate and glass in her hands. She climbed into her bed and wrapped her arms around him.

Still, Slade was in a state of shock and confusion. All he remembered was losing consciousness after being stabbed by Omen, but he's here, with Raven, in her room.

"What happened? How?.." He asked, looking around. His voice was gruff and his throat dry. Raven ignored his question and gave him a glass of water which he drank eagerly.

"You died, Slade," Raven said calmly, placing her hand on his shoulder.

"Again?"

Raven smiled. "Yes, your dumbass died, again."

" am I here?" He creaked and rubbed his sore head.

"I brought you back, with a spell. Probably something similar to what Trigon used when he brought you back the first time."

Slade looked down at her then smiled. He raised his large hand over her pale cheek, which she happily embraced. "You're my Savior."

Raven leaned in from her spot on her bed then connected lips with Slade. He slowly but surely responded to her kiss, bringing his hand to the back of her head to make sure she didn't pull away. She felt complete when she felt that spark come back. The hole she felt was missing in her heart was filled again with love.

After an hour of resting and eating, Slade was back to his full strength.

"I should probably teleport you back home, so you can get dressed."

Raven blushed, seeing the outline of his member through her sheets. Slade only chuckled and leaned back, taking her into his arms. "How about we take advantage of my nudity." He said before giving her another long and gentle kiss.

She kissed back eagerly but pulled him back. "No. My friends should be home any minute now."

Slade frowned then sighed. "Whatever you say."

"Rae, you have to come with us to the movie premier."

Raven continued reading her book on the sofa. "I'm not interested."

Changeling frowned then turned away from her. At least he tried. Starfire flew in after him. "Friend, why will you not participate in the hangout tonight?"

Raven sighed. "I just want to relax in my room with a good book."

"Let's go, ya'll. If she doesn't want to go then she doesn't want to go." Cyborg said, getting his keys from the table.

"Very well then," Starfire said sadly.

"See you in a couple of hours, Rae."

Raven only nodded with her nose buried deep in her book. She hasn't been feeling well all day, so going out to a movie then for pizza afterward was simply her ideal image of resting. She's sure that there will be other movies that she will join them in the future.

She closed her book then teleported to her room. She placed the book on her nightstand then got into her lotus position above her bed. "Nothing a little meditation won't help."

"Azarath, metrion, zinthos, Azarath metrion, zinthos. Azarath-" Raven stopped her chanting when she heard something hit against the window. She turned her head then looked out at the bay. There was nothing there. She closed her eyes and chanted again then turned.

Another spec hit her window, She fumed then looked out the window in annoyance. Her anger faded when she saw Slade hanging outside with a grappling hook keeping him up.

Raven quickly opened her window and allowed Slade to squeeze himself in. "What are you doing here?"

"I can't visit the most beautiful woman in the world?"

Raven blushed. Slade took off his mask then snaked his arms around her waist. His lips connected with hers, locking them in a passionate kiss. Raven wrapped her arms around his neck and leaned in closer.

Slade brought his body closer to her and intensified the kiss. He brought her over to her bed then crawled on top of her. Raven barely had time to protest as his lips were back on hers in a swift motion. His hands massaged her bare thigh up and down, making her moan under his embrace. Slade traveled from her lips to her neck. Raven gasped and closed her eyes, falling onto the pleasure of the warm kisses.

He leaned in closer, bringing his hips down. Raven took in a sharp breath when she felt his groin rub against her womanhood.

Slade chuckled then looked down at her. "I want you, my love." He said huskily.

Raven blushed. "I..o-okay..'' She said incoherently when she felt Slade's hands tenderly fondle her chest with his calloused hands. All worries and fears flew out the window when he continued his assault on her body. She closed her eyes and gave in to the pleasure, She arched her back, giving him better access. Slade reached her back and started to zip her leotard off.

"Slade, wait."

Slade stopped pulling off her leotard and looked up at her. "I won't do anything you're not comfortable with.'

Raven paused. She wasn't concerned about having sex with Slade, but she was concerned with having sex in general. The first time is always messy. "I'm just scared." She said quietly.

Slade smirked. He took off his heavy armor from his body and found the hem of his shirt before taking the garment off in one swift motion. Raven stared up at him, adoring his chiseled chest. It made her blush thinking that a man as big and serious as he would be taking her. At most, it made her nervous. He leaned in, using his forearms to hold his heavy body over hers. "Don't be scared." He delicately pulled her leotard off of her again, kissing her smooth, bare skin. His eyes scanned at her body. He started at her pert breasts then her slim abdomen, taking note of her muscles. He stopped at her black laced his panties. He smirked and moan at the sight of them.

Slade connected lips with hers once again. He made sure that it was slow and sweet to ease her worries and give her validation of his love towards her.

He trailed kisses from her neck to her collarbone then finally her breast. Raven inhaled and arched her back. Slade smirked at her reaction and continued to tease her chest. He placed a nipple in his mouth and played with the other with his hand. His tongue circled her nipple then licked her light gray areola. He continued to tease her before finally sucking her sensitive skin. Raven gave a sweet moaned. Her hands went from his shoulders to his hair. Her long fingers kneaded his soft air. She felt her body and face getting warmer and her core beg for some form of release with every passing minute.

Slade quickly changed positions from one nipple to the next skillfully. Raven whimpered even louder.

"See, nothing to be scared of."

Raven smiled then leaned forward, locking lips with him again. The two ferociously kissed. Slade brought her down again on the bed then brought her close to his hips. He unfastened his belt and pulled down his pants then slowly pulled her moist panties down her long legs. He looked up at her and saw her red as a tomato. He loved seeing her so out of her element. She looked adorable.

He leaned in closer to her and kissed her neck once more. Raven moaned and moved her head to the side for him, but her attention was still towards her sacred area. While his face was in the nook of her neck, he brought his hand down, grazing over her womanhood. She jerked in surprise and wrapped her hands around his back, her fingernails digging into his flesh. Raven repeated her mantra in her head when Slade traced his finger around her genitalia. She jerked once more and sharply inhaled when his thumb rubbed against her clitoris. Slade smirked and continued to kiss her neck. Raven continued giving cries of pleasure. She never masturbated, so she failed to take into account the pure ecstasy of his hand on her entrance. Slade slowly inserted one of his fingers inside of her. Raven made a discomforted noise and tensed underneath him. Eventually, the discomfort was replaced with pleasure and she was back to giving pleasured cries.

Slade positioned his penis at her entrance. He looked up at her and gave a chaste kiss. "You do know it will hurt, correct?" Raven looked nervous and unsure but she nodded her head. Slade placed one of his hands down to his erection and another at the back of Raven's head. He looked down at her and grinned.

Raven gulped and took in an uneasy deep breath. "Let's get this over with."

He kissed her once more and started to rub himself against her moist opening. He moaned feeling the warmth up and down his shaft. He locked lips with her to keep her attention. He positioned his tip and entered her. Raven jumped and stopped. She groaned and leaned back, staring at the ceiling.

"The pain will go away soon, my dear."

He thrust his entire self into her, causing her to scream and hiss. She grabbed the bed sheets. Slade brought his hands to her hips to keep her still. He started to kiss her collarbone to do something to help ease the pain.

Raven continued whimpering and shifting in pain. Tears swelled in her eyes. Slade used his finger and wiped them away. They stayed in this position until Raven started to calm down and he felt her walls loosen around his hardened member. It was struggling for him as she was wet and warm. He slowly thrust himself out then in once more. She winced but didn't scream this time.

He continued this slow motion. The pain started to subside and bliss took its course once more. Raven closed her eyes then sighed, still holding the sheets for dear life.

Slade thrusted faster. He tried to discipline himself and repeat in his brain that this was her first time, but she felt so good. He brought one of his hands to her hip and the other resting on the bed, keeping him over her. Raven placed her hands to his torso and moaned softly.

The rhythm got faster and harder. The bed was creaking and her powers were becoming unstable. Raven's cheeks were flushed and her body produced a thin layer of sweat on her torso. One hand still clung to the sheets while the other went to his muscled chest. He was also sweating, and she could feel the muscles in his chest slightly contrasting from his thrusts. Her hand went to his forearm. She could feel the bubbling build up of the release her core so eagerly wanted to free. Raven screamed his name in tired breaths. Slade groaned in pleasure and pounded into her faster and harder. He loved hearing her say his name. Raven's hands went to his back, keeping him close and her legs wrapped around his waist, begging for more. She felt her orgasm approaching, and Slade could feel his climax.

After a few more thrusts, Slade pulled himself out from inside her then released himself. Raven gasped at the sudden loss but relaxed. Her body trembled when she finally hit her maximum. Her breathing started to slow, and her heart beat returned to normal. Slade rested himself on top of her and wiped the excess sweat from his brow. The two made eye contact then shared a final loving kiss. Slade sighed and rested his head on her chest while she wrapped her arms around his back and tangled her fingers in his hair.

"I love you," Raven said.

Slade smiled then played with her long hair which he adored so much. He was flattered that she kept it after so long.

"I love you too, my dear."
