I must admit, when I first began making plans on which Teen Titans episodes I would bring along in this story, I never intended to include this one. But then someone made a comment about how they wanted to see my version of Raven in Date with Destiny, and it got me thinking. So in the end, I decided to give it a shot. And I must admit, it turned out quite well in the end. Now obviously, don't take this chapter seriously, it's just a humor-filled chapter with no effect on the overall plot.

Chapter 15: Date with Destiny

Deep underground, where no light could reach and where darkness and evil thrived, lay a hidden laboratory. Dozens of glass cages occupied the spacious room, each filled to the brim with creatures spawned with a sinister purpose in mind; the utter destruction of this city.

"Patience, my children. Soon you shall wreak the havoc you crave." Their creator and master assured them as he worked on some diabolical device. "Soon I shall have the power I deserve. Soon the entire city will bow before its new master."

It was at this point that this sinister figure spun around, revealing himself as a monstrous moth in human form.

"KILLER MOTH!" he proclaimed as he began laughing maniacally. This spawn of evil had long hidden away from the world, but now he would strike out with the fury and vengeance that had festered for so long in his black and evil…

"DADDY! DADDYYYYY!" and cue in the mood ruining scream, courtesy of today's villain's spoiled and highly annoying teenage daughter. And like the good father he was, Killer Moth came barging in through the door within seconds.

"Daddy's working, Kitten. Can't this wait until…" he tried to reason, but was quickly interrupted by his daughter.

"No! He broke up with me! My stupid ex-boyfriend Fang broke up with me! And now I don't have a date to the prom!" she raged on while stomping back and forth in her room, until finally she collapsed face first on her bed and started crying. Naturally, as any parent would do, Killer Moth tried to comfort his child.

"Uhhm… there, there. I'm sure you'll find another date." was it me, or did he sound a little confused on what exactly to do? I guess even supervillains have just as much a hard time handling children as anyone else.

"Uh! Prom is tomorrow, daddy! I don't have time to find another date! So you're gonna find one for me!" okay, where did that part come from? Come on now Killer Moth, stand up to her, be a man, show her who the boss around here is!

"Now, Kitten, be reasonable! You don't seriously expect me to…"

"And I don't want just anyone, I want someone handsome, and popular, and totally cool! Someone who no other girl could get! Someone who will drive Fang wild with jealousy! I want…!"

We interrupt this highly annoying and embarrassing father-daughter moment and move our focus to something more exciting, like a car chase through the streets of Jump City. the chaser, the local superhero, celebrity and former sidekick of the man in black and cape; Robin. The one being chased, a stolen van filled with money, and which happened to have a guy with a spider's body for a head on the roof (Ladies and gentlemen, let's hear it for the winner of 'freaky looking villain of the year'!).

However, inside the van along with the driver, was a more familiar face among Jump City's criminals. Opening up the backdoors of the van, Raven peered out with an Ultimax machine gun, loaded with a hundred round drum magazine. Catching sight of Robin closing in on them on his R-cycle, she gave a predatory grin.

"I love it when the boys are chasing me." she stated as she took aim on him. The driver gave her a look of disbelief through the mirror.

"Are you crazy, girl?! That's Robin who's chasing us!" he shouted in panic. Raven just gave him a lopsided grin.

"Life can be such a short experience, why waste it on sanity?" she questioned humorlessly as she started spraying bullets at their pursuer. Robin cursed profusely as he was forced to take evasive actions, lest he ended up as a new decoration on the road.

"Damn Raven and her damn guns." He muttered to himself. Thankfully, he was soon joined by the rest of his team as Starfire and Beast Boy swooped down from the skies while Cyborg and Argent came riding into the fray in the T-car. Seeing the increased number of hostiles, Raven banged her fist onto the car roof.

"Yo, webhead! This is your heist too, ya know, so start putting your back into it and give us a hand here!" she shouted to him, receiving an irritated hiss in response. Nevertheless, he took her words to heart and began spitting out spider web from his mouth, hitting Beast Boy and sticking him in place to a wall.

"Superloogy!" he burst out in disgust as he feebly struggled in the web's grip. Meanwhile, the chase dragged on. The Spider-Man wannabe suddenly had a bright idea as he formed a sticky wall of web right in the path of the Titans. It looked like they were about to crash into this obstacle, but Argent used her powers to form a giant form of bridge for them to sail over.

Unfortunately, the few seconds they were airborne, they were easy targets for Raven. With a smirk on her lips, she let loose a burst of bullets that tore apart the front wheels of the T-car. When the two vehicles made contact with the ground again, only Robin was able to continue the pursuit while Cyborg's swerved wildly off the road.

"My baby! What has that monster done to you!" he cried out in anguish as hugged the steering wheel of his car, crying like a little baby.

"Are you 20 or 10 years old, Cyborg?" Argent asked in annoyance, being thoroughly ignored by the grieving man. With three out of the five Titans out of the game, the odds were slowly tipping in the criminals' favour. Raven emptied the last rounds in her gun a Robin before putting it away and began reaching for something else behind her back.

"Alright, bird boy. Let's see you dodge this one." She gleefully announced as she brought out an RPG and aimed it at Robin. He had enough time to widen his eyes in shock before the rocket came right at him. With no room to maneuver, he shot a grapple gun and swung to safety while his R-cycle was utterly vaporized.

Sadly, he left himself exposed in the air, something the spider head guy was more than happy to take advantage of. A blast of purple energy lanced out from his fangs and hit Robin dead center in the chest. His whole body instantly froze up as he began plummeting back towards the ground

"Can't… move." He complained with a strained voice. Though just before he would have made contact with the ground, Starfire swooped in and rescued him. She landed with the statue-like Robin with the rest of their time.

"He is… okay?" Starfire asked hesitantly as Cyborg stepped forward and began scanning him.

"He will be. The venom's effect is only temporary." He assured her.

"Getting away… we have to… go after them." Robin managed to press out of his numb throat. The venom made it hard for him just to speak. Of course, his words would have been taken more seriously if he had not begun to tip over like a tree being cut down. Thankfully, Starfire was there to catch him.

"Of course, except it should have been 'we must go after him', as in no you." Argent stated.

"You need to shill until that stuff wears off." Cyborg added. Naturally, that did not sit well with Robin.

"But…" was all he got out before he was interrupted by Beast Boy.

"Dude, we can handle it. The dude's got a spider for a head, not like he's gonna be hard to find."

And so it was decided, the Titans would continue the search while Robin recovered from the venom.

(Small note; due to the next parts being exactly like in the real episode, I'll skip them and jump to the real juicy bits.)

This was humiliating. No, scratch that, this was infinitely beyond humiliating. Out of all the demands that this Killer Moth could have made, why in all the nine levels of Hell did it have to involve a freaking date?! Robin was sure, beyond any doubt, that some form of higher power was laughing its ass off right about now.

"Really hoping she doesn't show." He muttered furiously to himself as he stood alone, dressed in a black suit. A gentle tap on his shoulder alerted him of a presence behind him. Fearing the worst, he steeled his nerves and turned around with a scowl on his face. What he saw however caused his scowl to melt away like butter in the sun.

There, standing in the most beautiful pink dress he had ever seen, was Starfire. For a few precious seconds, Robin's brain short-circuited from what he was seeing.

"Starfire?" he burst out in surprise, clearly not expecting to see her of all people here.

"On such occasions, I believe it is customary to wear a dead plant?" she inquired innocently as she fastened a flower to Robin's suit.

"Star, you're supposed to be helping the others track down Killer Moth." He stated to her, but she appeared unmoved on the subject.

"Your orders were to investigate the girl. I intend to investigate her thoroughly." She countered with conviction. "Besides, you may require saving. This Kitten is perhaps some form of ooze monster in disguise. She certainly is as ugly like a monster, yes?" Okay, that last part may have been a little too much. The first part was more than enough reason for Starfire to be present.

Robin was about to say something else, but was interrupted by the flashing of a camera from behind. Turning around to face whoever it was, Robin was granted the second shock of the evening. Just when you thought you had reached the bottom, someone always came along with a shovel.

That seemed true enough, for standing I front of him was none other than Raven, dressed in what some might call a provocative purple dress while having the most devious smile in existence plastered on her face. It was official now, some otherworldly power was truly out to get him here.

"My, my. You certainly look handsome in that outfit, bird boy." she observed sultry while making a big show of checking out every part of him. Robin meanwhile was close to choking on his own breath.

"What are you doing here?!" he finally managed to force out of his throat. That only served to elicit a light giggle from Raven as she sauntered closer towards him, taking great care to send a teasing grin at the fuming Starfire behind him.

"You know, just under an hour ago, I heard the craziest rumor ever. They said that the big, strong and handsome Robin had agreed to take Killer Moth's daughter to her prom. And naturally, my curiosity forced me to come and see this for myself." She drawled as she ran a finger across his chest.

Robin meanwhile was struggling with all his might not to attack her right there and then. He had a, albeit distasteful, mission to worry about. Instead he settled with grasping her wrist in a steel grip and forcing her back and away from him.

"Curiosity killed the cat, Raven." he ground out in anger, wishing he could just slap her in handcuffs and send her off to prison. Another one of her damnable seductive smirks split her face.

"But satisfaction brought it back." she purred, once again leaning uncomfortably close to him. By now, Robin was as red as a tomato, and it was not just from anger. 'Please, just strike me down here and now. I don't care if it's painful or not, just put an end to it all. Don't let me suffer through this humiliation.' He pleaded with all his might, receiving no answer to his plight.

Starfire was in no better condition, as her eyes were aflame with green energy. Her hands were just itching to put a starbolt right smack in Raven's face, anything to wipe that infuriating smile off her face. Any further words were drowned out as a honking pink limousine arrived on scene. And who was it that stepped out? Why, kitten of course.

"Yoohoo! Robbie-poo, your kitten has arrived, miau!" those were the words that left her mouth when she spotted Robin, receiving mixed reactions from the trio standing together. Robin looked like he had just swallowed something really nasty, Starfire looked absolutely mortified and Raven, well…

"Robbie-poo?" she asked, fighting with all her might not to fall over laughing at that point. Robin's whole face instantly scrunched up in annoyance.

"Don't ask." He muttered back to while repeating the same mantra over and over in his head; I must not strangle Raven, I must not strangle Raven, I must not strangle Raven.

"And Starfire." He suddenly spoke, gaining her attention. "Second thought, maybe I will need saving." With those depressing thoughts, he made his way towards Kitten, walking like a man walks to the electric chair. Come to think of it, maybe he would have preferred the chair over this?

He just wanted to get this over with as fast and as painlessly as possible, but naturally Kitten had to rub the fact that she was dating a hero into everyone's faces.

"Ohhh, Robin! My date, Robin! Don't you look handsome?" and while she was loudly proclaiming these things, she was leaning uncomfortably close to his ear. "Comment me on my dress." It was an order, not a request.

"No." he said quietly and monotonously, causing her face to get scrunched up in anger.

"Do it!" she commanded more forcefully. "Or else." She added for effect. That got him going at least.

"Nice dress." He managed to ground out between gritted teeth. Any person with half a brain could tell he meant those words just about as much as a lion telling an antelope that he had become a vegetarian and would be honored if the antelope would join him for dinner. I hope that made it abundantly clear concerning the level of intelligence Kitten possessed, given her next statement.

"Ohh, Robin! You're such a gentleman! Not at all like my worthless ex-boyfriend Fang!" by now, nearly everyone present had diverted their attention to the mismatched pair, some even sending looks of sympathy towards Robin.

"Now take my arm, lead me in, and would it kill you to smile?" the last part was spoken with a great deal of frustration on Kitten's part. In response, Robin tried to accommodate her wishes. Key word there; tried. That "smile" of his looked more like the tortured death grin of someone who had taken an overdose of curare.

"Maybe." Was the single pained word he forced out of his throat before leading his so-called date towards the ship the prom was held on. He did manage to catch a quick glimpse of Starfire and Raven in the crowd. While he was concerned for Starfire, given how there was literally smoke coming out of her burning eyes, he was more worried about Raven.

Why, you might ask? Because she had a frigging video camera in her hands and was recording the whole thing! When she noticed that he was looking in her direction, she gave him a wave with her free hand.

Okay, it was settled. Once he got her hands on her, Raven was as good as dead, regardless of the consequences.

Eventually he lost sight of them as he walked on board. Had he stayed a little longer, he would have seen how Starfire, in her female fury, brought a fist down on the limousine that Kitten had arrived in, squashing the engine compartment like it was made of plastic.

"My womanly intuitions are telling me that you're not all that thrilled about this." Raven remarked tauntingly as she walked up to stand next to Starfire, who for her part only glared with burning and smoking eyes at her.

"You. Stay out of this." Starfire snarled at her, only causing Raven to laugh at her.

"Sorry, no can do. This is grade A entertainment for me, and I ain't missing a second of this." She said before she slipped past Starfire and headed up the ramp. Starfire was only a few yards behind her after that.

The evening dragged on in much the same way. Kitten forcing Robin to go along with everything she wanted while Starfire watched them like a haunting ghost, with fury written all over her face. Still, this would have been at least semi-bearable to Robin if it was not for the fact that Raven was never too far from them either with her thrice accursed video camera.

Every time he saw her with that infernal device, he sent her the most vicious and hateful glare he could muster. Her way of answering was with a taunting smirk and sometimes even a blow kiss when Kitten was not looking.

Currently, Robin had been forcibly dragged out on the dance floor by Kitten. And he was holding his communicator in his hand like it was a lifeline. Things could not possibly get any worse than this.

"Kiss me." Okay, scratch that, it could apparently get worse. But for every man, there existed a breaking point. Robin had just reached his.

"Sorry, I don't like you that way. Matter of fact, I just don't like you." he stated with a certain smugness to it. Behind them, Starfire pumped her fist while silently saying "yes!"

"Awww… why did he have to ruin it so soon? We were just getting to the juicy bits here." Raven complained from her seat at a nearby table.

"WHAT?!" Kitten burst out in anger, yet Robin never lost that smug look on his face.

"Killer Moth is being taken down as we speak, we're done here." He said with a great level of satisfaction as he turned his back to her and walked away. But Kitten was not down for the count just yet.

"No, we are not!" she stated as she tore off the flower she had been wearing on her dress, revealing it to be a concealed trigger. "Daddy is not calling the shots tonight, Robbie-poo! I am!"

Now Robin looked to be on the point of panicking. Understandable, if you ask me.

"And unless you want me to let those nasty bugs out for a late night snack, you better pecker up!"

At that moment, Starfire's world cracked and fell to pieces. Quite literally if you are watching the cartoon episode. And Kitten was once again leaning in uncomfortably close, seeking a kiss from Robin.

"Never thought I'd ever say this, but I really feel sorry for bird boy right about now." Raven commented to herself while scrunching up her face in disgust. Thank Azar that I never had any business contacts with her.' she thought. Still, that did not stop her from bringing out her camera and recording the whole scene. 'Priceless, simply priceless.'

But the long awaited kiss never transpired as Robin held up a finger and stopped Kitten from coming any closer.

"Not even if you paid me." He said as he snatched the trigger from her hand. The two quickly became locked in a tug of war as they each tried to tear the trigger out of each other's hands. That was when a new arrival made his entry on the floor.

"Fang?" Kitten burst out in overjoyed surprise, while Robin's eyes bugged out of their sockets.

"That's your boyfriend?" he asked in astonishment. Not surprising really, considering that Fang turned out to be spider head from earlier that day, and he looked absolutely livid.

"Get your hands off my girl." He commanded as he smashed aside any table that got in his way. Happy to oblige, Robin let Kitten fall unceremoniously to the floor while he made himself ready to fight. From her seat, Raven could not help but chuckle at the sheer irony of this whole mess.

With a simple smash from one of his spider legs, Fang knocked Robin aside and hurried up to Kitten. But he got no further as a starbolt suddenly sent him flying away.

"Keep your legs off my boy." Starfire said in fury with a pair of starbolts loaded up on her hands. Robin was taking his chance to stand back up again.

"Robin, are you injured?" Starfire asked in concern.

"Best I've felt all day." Robin stated as he tore off his suit, revealing he was wearing his traffic light costume underneath it.

"Seriously, bird boy, do you ever go anywhere without wearing those stupid rags?" Raven asked from where she was still sitting, now with a small plate full with snacks in her lap. Robin said nothing, but he narrowed his eyes at her while cracking his knuckles. He was seriously going to enjoy this.

"Hey, don't start throwing attacks at me here, I'm just her for the show." Raven said in obviously fake panic while holding up her hands in a surrendering gesture. "Besides, I think you've got other things to worry about." He last sentence was punctuated with her pointing towards where Fang and Kitten were. Turning back towards them, Robin was met with a charging Fang.

And so began the battle between Fang and Robin, with three girls watching from the sidelines.

"Ohhhh, isn't it romantic? They're fighting over me!" Kitten said with a dreamy look on her face, receiving a look of horror from Starfire.

"They are not fighting over you!" she countered heatedly, resulting in both girls glaring daggers at each other.

"Actually, you're both half right. Fang's fighting over Kitten, Robin's just fighting 'cause Fang's a criminal." Raven supplemented. Naturally, she was thoroughly ignored as Kitten and Starfire threw themselves at each other in a vicious brawl. It ended with Starfire's head submerged in the punch and Kitten in a chocolate cake. Something she was anything but thrilled about.

"You! Ruined! My! Dress!" she screeched in absolute rage before she pressed the trigger, releasing the swarms of mutant moths her daddy had created.

Meanwhile, the fight between Robin and Fang finally ended with Fang collapsing onto a table, unconscious before he even hit the floor. That only left Kitten still standing. And with a well-aimed starbolt, the trigger in her hand was knocked away and landed right in front of Robin.

"Consider yourself dumped." He stated just before he crushed the trigger underneath his boot. All that Kitten could muster in response was an anguished "NOOOO!". Robin for his part could not have possibly been more relieved.

"Now, that only leaves you standing, Raven." Robin commented smugly as he turned to face her, only to find her chair empty.

She had already slipped away.

But there was a note left on the table, and Robin hesitantly picked it up and read its message.

"Thanks for the entertainment, greatly appreciated. I'll send you a copy of my recordings."

For a few moments, all Robin did was stand there and stared at the message. Then his eyes narrowed in anger and he crushed it in his fist.

"I hate that girl."

On a small side note before I finish this chapter.

Robin refused to show himself publically after that for three weeks. The reason, an anonymous source had leaked footage and recordings of his date with Kitten to not only the media, but also every supervillain in town.

Even though they probably were miles away from each other, Robin could swear that he could hear Raven's mocking laughter every time someone teased him about his date.
