Don't own Teen Titans.

Please read and review! I haven't gotten many reviews but I do LOVE them! They keep me writing!

Chapter Three-

6:45 a.m. Her alarm clock wouldn't let her ignore the time. And she knew she had to get up regardless of her body's desperate desire to curl back up into the warm blanket and drift back into a fitful sleep. But she rolled off the couch regardless, brushed her teeth, combed her hair, and slipped into her uniform.

Raven met Robin in the training room and he smiled at her, putting down his metal staff that he had been doing moves with. She just grimaced at him, "Well, I guess it is a bit early for you. Especially to be training for this sort of thing. So, why don't we start out with something you're comfortable with and work from there." He suggested.

"What? Like meditating?" She swore that if he even tried that nasty head-lock move on her this morning, she would kill him. Robin was right about one thing. It was way too early to be training.

He gave a short laugh. "Sure, if that's what works for you. But I was thinking more along the lines of moves that you were comfortable with. Like kicks or hits or punches. Things I've already taught you."

"Okay. Well, morning's not my best time, but-" Robin threw a punch at her shoulder and she dodged it. He then went for her stomach with a kick which got her right in the gut. She gave a small grunt as she hit the floor clutching her stomach.

"Good. You dodged my first attack well. It was the kick that threw you off. Now try to attack me." Robin said as he helped her off the ground.

Raven tried to hit him but he quickly moved. She frowned as she concentrated and made another attack, this time making it out like she was going to punch him on one side so he'd move to the other so she could trip him. Once on the floor, she quickly straddled him, fist poised above his face as if to punch him.

"Not bad." Robin smirked up at her.

"Not bad? I think that was pretty damn-"

But she never got to finish her sentence because Robin rolled them over so he was on top. "But I was on the defense that entire time. Not once did I make a move on you. Let's do it differently this time." He smirked down at Raven.

"I'm tired. Can't we do this later?" She looked up at him with narrowed eyes, only too aware of how much he was enjoying himself. She pushed him off of her and got up, dusting herself off. She was blushing at his previous statement and quickly pulled her cloak hood over her face.

"Sure." He moved aside and watched her as she practically ran out of the training room. Left to his own thoughts, he took out his metal staff and ran his fingers along its smooth surface. Why was Raven so nervous? Did it have to do with Slade? And what was Slade up to nowadays anyway? He frowned, now worried, and decided to train even more rigorously.

Raven was back in her room after her little training session with Robin. They'd been training for an hour according to her clock and it explained why she was so tired. Ew. She was in desperate need of a shower. She began to take off her cloak and her shoes and even began to peel off her leotard when she remembered the cameras in her room. Damnit! How was she supposed to shower? Well, surely Slade hadn't put a camera in the bathroom. But Raven couldn't be sure. So she grabbed a towel and headed to the communal bathroom.

When the Titans had first started living together they'd had to share a communal bathroom- And it'd been hell. Beast Boy with his puppy habits of non-stop pissing. She swore that he'd be peeing every half hour (He said he had uncontrollable bladder syndrome, Raven just said he was too much like a dog). And if someone was in the bathroom when he HAD to go, well, no one was surprised when there was a stain on the carpet. Starfire who didn't understand the purpose of toothpaste and who was amused with the flushing of a toilet. Sometimes, Raven heard her go into the bathroom at ungodly hours of the night just to flush it. And Robin, who took forever styling his hair in the morning. Twenty minutes spent styling a guy's hair was unacceptable. Raven took less than two.

So the Titans were all glad when Cyborg had installed personal bathrooms in their rooms. Bathrooms that they could truly call their own. Beast Boy could piss whenever he wanted. Starfire could play with the toilet all she wanted. And Wonder Boy could mess with his hair products for however long it took in the mornings.

Raven enjoyed her shower and had just gotten out when Beast Boy knocked on the door. "Umm… Whoever's in there? I need to go to the bathroom. Mine's broken."

She pursed her lips in frustration as she wrapped a thin towel around herself. "Fine. Just give me a minute. Don't want you pissing on the carpet again." And she smirked at him as she walked out with her clothes in hand.

"Ra-Raven?" Beast Boy's eyes bugged out as he took in the sight of the nearly naked girl in front of him. "Why are you naked? Where are your clothes?" He couldn't stop looking. Who could? The towel barely skimmed the tops of her thighs, leaving the smooth, milky expanse of her slim legs naked to the eye. The towel was wrapped tightly around her breasts and he found himself wanting to reach out and touch them before- Wait! This was Raven! His teammate! The one who was always making sarcastic jokes about him. He couldn't think about her like this. But it was soo hard not to…

She rolled her eyes at him. He could ask the most obvious questions. But she decided to humor him. "Shower. And my clothes…" She held up her clothes, waving them in front of his still shocked face.

"Oh. Okay." He managed to squeak out. And he walked into the bathroom, nearly walking into the door.

Raven walked back into her room and made quick work of putting her clothes back on. No need to have Slade see anything on his cameras. But just as she finished putting on her leotard, she heard his voice, "Interesting training session. Though it seems to me that instead of focusing on your fighting skills, you focused on Robin's flirting techniques."

"That wasn't any of your business!"

"It is, since you're to become my new apprentice. And Beast Boy, he seems a bit- keen? Perhaps a bit too keen… Although if you ask me-" Slade went on.

"Well, that's funny. Since as I recall, no one did ask you. Now get out of my room." She finished putting on her shoes and fastening her cloak.

"After that little show you gave me? Now why would I do that?" His voice had suddenly taken a new turn. Almost like he was somewhat sincere. Sincere, yet mocking.

Raven turned red. "I mean it. Go away. I don't want to talk to you. I'll- I'll tell Robin about you. The audio and the cameras. Everything."

"No, you won't. If you would, you would've done so by now."

"Get out!"

"Raven, you will be mine. And it will be sooner rather than later." His voice was back to being cold.

"Go away!" She sank to the floor and covered herself with her arms.

"There's no point in-"

"Raven! Raven! Are you okay?" Robin's voice was calling out to her on the other side of the door and at the sound of that, Slade was silenced.
