I am here and I have the new story! YAY! Okay. Remember just hit 115 reviews, so I real happy. Thanks to all those people who did submit names for Raven's new name. (Oh, and whoever submitted pigeon, I'm not trying to mean or anything, but that really made me laugh) Now that I think of it, mystery was kind of corny, so thanks for pointing that out DracoSexyYetSinister.

This story has been dedicated to Chica De Los Ojos Café. She informed me that that means "Girl with brown eyes." But, wait, doesn't café have to do with food? I don't know. I don't speak Spanish. I speak part French. Anyway, she was my first 100th reviewer (and hopefully not my last!)

(this first chapter will be a little flashback-y at first.)

Richard Grayson sat at his kitchen table with his newspaper open. He stared at it. The front page said, "WHERE IS NIGHTWING WHEN WE NEED HIM?"

Yes, that's right. Richard Grayson, the former Robin and current Nightwing had left Gotham city. All it had taken was being trapped in Wayne Manor with a serial killer.

Kori Anders, who has been known as Starfire and Koriand'r, had taken it upon her self to go and kill the past superheroes Aqualad, Bumblebee, Terra, Beast Boy/Changeling, and Speedy, her husband. She had also killed Mark, her former boyfriend, Jinx, and Kitten, daughter of Killer Moth.

But the worst part was that she almost managed to kill Richard, and the girl known as Thea Vrorn. Now, you may be asking, "Who is she?"

Well, it all happened a while ago; five years to be exact.

FLASHBACK

The red alarm flashed in Titans' Tower around 3:30 in the afternoon. The five teens soon huddled around the monitor to see someone they thought had died.

"Slade," Robin sneered angrily.

"Hello. I'm very glad to see you. All of you. I wish I could sit here and make small talk, but, you've got a job to do. You see this place where I am?" Slade said, as the view shifted.

Beast Boy gasped as he saw Terra's grave. He felt a small lump form in the back of his throat. "What are doing?" he shouted, feeling enraged. The other four stared at him in disbelief. They didn't know he had such anger in him.

"This place is about to become the record holder for the largest earthquake in the Jump City area. That is if you don't make it in time," Slade said as he looked at the screen, but the 5 teens were gone.

What he didn't tell them is that all of it was a lie. A titan was about to die today, and that was a promise.

He was surprised when he saw them arrive so quickly. Robin stood there, his Bo staff ready. Raven stood next to him, her cape blowing in the wind. The others had not arrived yet.

They went on fighting him, until the other three arrived. He jumped back, and put a sly grin on his face.

"There's no earthquake."

"What!" They all shouted at once.

"No earthquake. This will now be the spot where the Titans shall be finished," He said as he threw a bomb onto the wall, and quickly ran out.

The building began to collapse around them almost instantly. Starfire was darting around, a worried look spread across her face. Beast boy had turned into a cheetah, and was racing out the door. Cyborg was running as fast as his mechanical legs would carry him. Raven was about to phase through the ground, when she saw Robin struggling under a main support beam. She ran over and lifted it off of him.

"Starfire!" she shouted. The orange girl flew down and grabbed the semi-conscious Robin. Then, she turned her head, and saw a large rock flying towards her. She tried to duck, but by doing that, it hit her in the temple.

She began to feel dizzy. "Raven!" she heard robin shout. She turned and saw Robin trying to get down from Starfire. He succeeded against Starfire's warnings; But Raven had all ready collapsed. Cyborg, who was closer, tried to grab her.

The rubble was all ready piling up over them. A large pile then buried Cyborg. Starfire began digging for him, when Robin pulled an unconscious Raven out. Starfire tried to calling out to him , not really understanding what was going on. But even if she did, there was no response. Finally she reached him.

Robin's breath caught in his throat. Cyborg usual light blue glow was gone, and replaced with black. His human eye was closed, and his electronic was black as well.

Once the paramedics arrived, Raven and Cyborg where carted to the hospital. When the other three arrived later, they found that Raven was in a coma, and Cyborg was gone.

Raven lay in a coma for 3 months, 1 and half of it in ICU. She lay there even during the break up of the titans.

Robin was there when she woke up, and he told her. Despite his pleads, she quickly fled to Azerath. She then learned how to keep the emotions under controls until she was finally able to release them and use them.

She returned a year later, and used the anagram of Raven Roth as Thea Vrorn.

FLASHBACK ENDS

She didn't meet Richard again until that costume party at Wayne Manor. There, they were locked in the place, and had to watch Kori kill 9 people, and try to kill them. After she had shot herself, she tried to make it look like she had tried to protect Richard from Raven. But, Richard had made it through, and told Bruce what really happened.

Raven, on the other hand, was in another painful coma. Richard then left her, thinking it was best if they just didn't proclaim their love for each other. If they did, people would find out. Richard just couldn't let that happen. He didn't know himself anymore; and if word got out that the co-owner of Wayne Enterprise was in love with a half-demon; well, we'll say it wouldn't be pretty for Raven.

Richard went back to Jump City and chopped his hair off, so it resembled the look he once sported when he was 14. Come one, how many six-foot people have long black hair that isn't Nightwing?

Then, his eyes began scanning over the article. It was mostly complaints of how the street weren't safe anymore. Then, something caught his eye. It was a small blurred black-and-white picture.

It looked like a female. Her long hair was blowing upward. She wore a black spandex tank top with only one strap. Her red leather skirt showed off her long legs and long black bots with red jagged line streaking upwards on them. A black mask with eyes outlined in red framed her eyes.

The caption under the picture said, "Newest villain threatening Gotham. Ebony Shadow has been terrorizing our city." (Ooh, I bet you know what's happening now!)

Richard shrugged, and placed the paper on the table when he heard a knock on the door. He got up and walked over.

When he was opened it, he was expecting his annoying neighbors. But wht he saw made his mouth drop. "Richard? How are you?"

The tall man standing at his front door made Richard begin to think he was going nuts. It was Vic.

Ooh. Wow. Lots of things happened. Raven's a villain. Vic's back. What else could happen? coughKoricough.

Anyway, hope you enjoyed. Later!
