Three years ago she had left the teen titans, that night Raven found out the deepest secret she would ever have to keep from the man she loved scared her to no extent, she had to leave. Her hair had grown out and she had gotten a job in a hotel, she lived in Swan City now, away from her fear and her life as a hero. That was behind her now.
Raven walked into the doctor's office, she was reasonably happy but had been feeling nauseous for a while.
"Hell there, Miss. Roth." The doctor said smiling at her, she smiled back.
"So what's wrong with me?" Raven kidded, it couldn't be that bad
"Well, I don't know if you could call it wrong.." The doctor trailed off.
"Huh?"
"Your pregnant." He told her. Raven's face went blank, she couldn't think then, so she bid the man good-bye and left the office.

Tears ran down Ravens face as the painful memory came back to her. She drove down the street taking a right at the corner and stopping at a building whipping the tears from her face and placing a smile in return.
"Alana." Raven whispered leaving her car and going to the front door, looking at her watch and then came a bell ringing from above her.
"Mommy!" A little girl about two years old came running out the door with a sesame street back pack lazily hanging over her shoulder and a paper waving in her hand. She had black hair with purple ends whirling wildly around her as she ran, a cookie monster t-shirt and camouflage shorts was what she wore. Raven smiled down at the young girl picking her up and giving her a kiss on cheek.
"Hi there, Alana." She said to her daughter.
"Look it what I made for you!" Alana cried showing her mother what she had made. It was a messy piece of construction paper with glitter and sequins placed everywhere they could be. Raven smiled at the picture and then smiled at her daughter.
"I love it." Raven replied. Alana and Raven went into the car and Raven buckled her into her car seat.
"So what did you do today in pre-school?" Raven asked and they drove off.

Three years ago she had left the teen titans, Robin didn't know what he did but when he had woken up that horrible day, she was gone. Robin's hair was still black, but now very long. He had become Night wing, but the titans were still together. Starfire and Night wing had tried, but they decided that it would be best just to stay friends, Starfire had found Speedy a wonderful boyfriend but Night wing wanted to have his Raven back.
Robin had woken up, had a shower and walked down to the kitchen, there he found a note to him and his team.
------
To my dearest friends,
I am sorry, I must leave now and I beg you not to come look for me. I have to quit the team for my futures sake, it's not you that I must leave, something very personal has just happened. Don't worry, it has nothing to do with my past or any of my present family members. It is fear, a fear that you could never help me solve.
Raven
He had read the note over and over again, showing to the titans three days after he had found it. They all had cried but felt that her notes wishes should be fulfilled.

"Night wing! We got the call!" Cyborg called to him. Night wing furrowed his brow and dashed to the living room.
"Who?" Night wing asked.
"It's Cinder block." Starfire stated her English now perfected.
----------------------------------------------
"ah!" Beast boy screamed as he was flung across the street. Night wing pulled out his bow staff and flung it at Cinder block but it simply bounced off and broke when Cinder block stepped on it. Starfire took to flinging star bolts at him but hardly left a mark. Cyborg began to fire his sonic canon at the criminal but they only created slight smoke around it.
"Titans!" Night wing shouted, throwing his ice bomb at Cinder block to buy at least a few seconds of time to make a plan. Cinder block diverted the attack though and threw a message player at Night wing, stomping on the ground creating a slight quake in the earth and disappeared into the dust.

Raven heard her daughter squeal in her room retorting her focus from her book and transferring it onto Alana.
"What is it!" Raven cried running into Alana's room.
"I saw a mouse!" Alana shrieked sobbing on her bed. Raven didn't have much money for a house or bills and she was barely getting enough money for groceries, but with a check coming in every month for Alana's baby bonus she was making it through. Raven wished that Alana had a father, even though she did have a father biologically, she wished that he could help. For now she was stuck with a small apartment and a small family barely getting by.
"Well, I guess we're going t have to catch that mouse, huh?" Raven smiled though her thoughts made it difficult to do so. Now clearly looking at her daughter she noticed how much she looked like him. She had the same blue eyes as him, and the same jet-black hair as him though it had her purple ends. Alana even had his spirit but still got scared every once in a while…
"Yea!" Alana stated and jumped up whipping the tears from her face and giving her mother a bright smile.
But recovered as quickly as it came. True, Alana did have powers, but not like Raven's. Alana could only read minds and not very well yet either, she was also very flexible, like her dad, like Robin.
So Raven set a non-lethal trap for the animal because now Alana wanted to keep it as a pet in her room. Raven thought that it would be a great idea and not only five minutes later did the mouse wander into the trap.
"Mommy, Mommy!" Alana cried with excitement, she sighed when the mouse was caught but she got up from the comfort of her chair and back with Alana. Raven emptied the trap into an old cage that she had kept in the tower for beast boy when he flew into her room as a bird, rodent, or just in human form. She smiled at the memory, she wished that she could have her friends to help her through the tough times, but they were gone now.
"Are you okay, mum?" Alana asked Raven. She looked up with surprise at her daughter, then turned her expression to a light smile.
"Why would you think that, hun?" Raven asked her.
"Because, you just said you missed the green boy!" Alana stated. Alana still couldn't tell the difference between thoughts and when people are speaking.
"No, you were reading my mind again." Raven smirked at Alana and Alana frowned.
"Oh." Alana replied. Raven furrowed her eyebrows at this.
"Don't worry, it took me forever to get my powers down, but I got them." Raven smiled at the two year old.
"What's a daddy?" Alana asked her. Raven was shocked. Alana knew the word daddy, but she never really got the meaning.
"Everybody has a daddy, but some people have never met their daddy. Like you." Raven pulled a fake smile at her daughter hoping that she wouldn't see through it, but she had her father's judgement too.
"Where is my daddy?" Alana asked Raven but she was about to break into tears.
"Y-you're daddy, I-is not h-here." Raven croaked, it was 7:00 pm and time for Alana to go to bed.
"Bed time, Allie." Raven told her using Alana's nickname.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Come find me, titans. You may find some thing new, what's beautiful on the out side but ugly on the inside? There is where you will find me." A dark man, not Slade, said over the message, then it blew up.
'Great, a riddle.' Night wing thought.
"A monster?" Starfire suggested.
"A swan." Cyborg replied yawning and leaning on the wall.
"We'll find him at a swan?" Beast boy asked.
"As in Swan City." Cyborg said knocking the changeling on the head.
"Then that's where we're going." Night wing cringed, grinding his knuckles into the palm of his hand.
