Raven recovered rather quickly. Just yesterday she rejoined the rest of the team for combat practice and training out on the obstacle course. It was a remarkable thing that, tough she was hurt and out of practice, she beat the course record. Beast Boy rarely leaved her. He knew how strong she is but he was still determined to be there if she needs him. Raven didn't mind this. They both wanted to stay together anyway.(Surprising isn't it?)

The first rays of light were peeking over the horizon. Everyone was still sleeping. Well, all but Beast Boy who decided to stay up in case Raven had another nightmare. She's been having strange visions and nightmares lately and she kept waking up screaming. Usually, when this happened Beast Boy took her in his arms and tried to calm her down. He looked at her lovingly. She was sleeping like a child cradled next to him. He moved his arm around her protectively. It was a relief seeing her like this, calm and peaceful.

A couple of hours later the Titans were all sitting at the breakfast table. Cyborg was sitting on a chair facing all his friends, Starfire was sitting next to Robin and Raven stood next to Beast Boy.
"Alright Titans, today we should begin searching for Slade. Raven, you feel up to it?" asked Robin. Raven nodded. "Ok, we'll split up so we can cover more ground. Cyborg, you search the west, including the docks. Raven and Beast Boy, you take the sky. Fly above the city, see if you can find anything unusual. If you don't, continue your search towards the north. Starfire and I will cover the rest." everyone nodded.

Twenty minutes later, Cyborg parked next to a warehouse at the docks. He used his sensors and scanners trying to find any trace of Slade or his goons.

Robin zoomed trough the streets of Jump City while Starfire flew above him looking for any kind of a clue about Slade.

Raven and Beast Boy were flying over the city scanning the streets below for any disturbance. So far the couldn't find anything. After a while the two landed and continued their search just like Robin said.
"But do we at least know what to look for?" asked Beast Boy.
"I'm not sure... Guess we just look for his helpers." said Raven.
"Yeah... You're right. Hey, Raven?"
"Yes?"
"What if... If we do find Terra... And... Wh-what if she hurts you again? I mean... I can't bear the thought..." said Beast Boy. Raven looked at him and found herself at a loss of words. What if it happened. She didn't have any guarantee that it won't happen.
"Well... Aaaah!" Raven was hit by a boulder from behind. She flew forward and hit the ground head first.
"RAVEN!"
"Mind if I join you?" asked a sweet voice from behind him.
"Terra!" Beast Boy growled in anger. "I told you to leave her alone!" he shouted at her.
"I won't leave her alone until she dies!"
"Good luck with that! Because I don't think you're walking away this time!" said Raven as she got up. Beast Boy rushed to her side and helped her stand up.
"You ok, Rae?" he whispered gently. "Yeah... Thanks!" she said.
"Bring it on witch! I can't wait to squash you!"

Beast Boy and Raven got into fighting stance. They looked at each other and nodded. They attacked together at the same time with Terra.

Cyborg was just returning to the T-car when he heard a familiar laugh. 'Gizmo!' "Come out you little scumm!"he shouted.
"Hey there robo-whimp! Ready to get your butt kicked?"
"You're describing yourself again... How self-concerned!
"Shut up you scuz-ball! Attack!" Gizmo ordered. A dozen slade-bots came around. They all targeted Cyborg, ready to fire. Cyborg prepared his sonic cannon.
"You want to fight? Bring it!" he said shooting his cannon and taking out three robots.

"Starfire look out!" shouted Robin as he spotted Mammoth, See-More and a few slade-bots. Starfire instantly started shooting them with her green bolts and Robin jumped off the R-cycle and threw some birda-rangs.

Somewhere inside his lair, Slade watched all of them and smiled evilly under his mask. "Good! Very good!"

Raven landed next to an injured Beast Boy. He was hit by Terra's attack when he jumped in front of Raven.
"Beast Boy!"
"I'm ok... I think..." he said as he struggled to get up. Raven looked up at Terra. The blonde looked at Raven and started to back away. She had a look of pure terror. Raven had four red eyes now. Her hands were covered in black energy.
"I warned you!" she hissed. "You're done for!" she said preparing to incinerate her with black energy.
"Rae?" Beast Boy said. "Raven! You're letting your evil side take over you! Calm down, Raven! You're better than this!"
Raven growled. Beast Boy put his hands on her shoulders and whispered "Listen to me!"

Raven snapped back to reality. She saw the terrified Terra in front of her, and she turned around to see Beast Boy smiling.
"What did I do?"
"Nothing. You took control!"

Terra jumped up and got ready for another attack. She launched boulders at Raven. "Why won't you just die? she shouted.

Raven blocked the attack. "I made a promise not to!" said Raven smiling. Beast Boy smiled at her. "You'd better keep it! Or I'll have to break it too!"

The fight resumed, but Terra didn't stand a chance in front of their combined attacks. She was knocked out just as two dozen slade-bots came around. By the time they were destroyed, Terra was gone. "Great! Robin's gonna love this!" said Raven with sarcasm in her voice. "Well, at least we're ok!" "You're not! Let's see if I can heal those injuries you have!"

Gizmo ran as fast as he could away from a pursuing Cyborg. The half robot managed to destroy all the drones and now he was determined to return Gizmo to his temporary home in cell block B. "Go away you giant scrap pile!" shouted Gizmo. "Shut up you little maniac! You're going back to prison!" said Cyborg.

"Let me go!" shouted See-More. "I'm afraid you will have to return to prison now!"said Starfire without loosening her grip on the boy. "Well, let's see if the others are ok!" said Robin. "Titans! Report!" "Hey, Rob! I've caught Gizmo!" "We found Terra!" said Beast Boy. "But she got back-up and escaped!" added Raven. "Guess we'll catch her next time! Anyway, this is a victory for us! Meet you back at the Tower!"

Sunset... Such a beautiful thing. Raven sat on the roof, alone, thinking about the events of the day. Her thoughts were interrupted by Beast Boy who sat down next to her. She rested her head on his shoulder. "What if next time I'll give in to my dark side and hurt you?" "You won't! I know it! And I know it because I know you are a good person. And you have a pure soul, trust me.I love you!" "I love you too!" said Raven as she faced him.

That's when it happened. Beast Boy cupped her face and leaned in, kissing her. Raven closed her eyes and wrapped her arms around his neck. It was a moment of pure bliss. They broke apart, slowly and stared into each others eyes. Love...
