Ok last chapter...


By the time the light had faded the Titans were thoroughly disorientated and Raven was smiling nervously. At some point Cyborg had taken her hand, which her siblings saw she was holding onto like a lifeline. "Mother." Raven murmured looking at the throne that seemed to dominate the room. It was small and simply decorated but somehow made all present feel small. Robin, Beastboy and Cyborg instantly dropped to one knee at the sight of the woman in the throne. She seemed to command respect with her intimidating purple eyes and hair. Raven shot a bemused look towards the boys before speaking again. "I'd introduce them but I get the feeling you're already scanning their memories." She told her mother, lightly watching as she made eye contact with each Titan in turn.

"You're right as usual Raven." Her mother smiled, making her look less stern. "Robin." She added looking the masked boy. "You are close to my daughter like a brother, you may stay. Beastboy, Starfire I would ask you to leave with Wren if you do not mind and Cyborg there is no question of where you should be." The woman told them smiling gently as her eyes locked onto the pair's still joined hands. Blushing furiously Raven let go of the hand as the half-robot stood. Starfire and Beastboy were already talking animatedly with Wren.

"Gatekeeper." Raven called after them. "Watch out for the changeling." She added watching as said green boy turned into a turtle, hiding his head.

"You have accomplished much since you left Azarath." Arella stated leaning back from her daughter's memories. "But why didn't you come home sooner?"
"I was already home." Raven replied, not missing a beat. "I was with my second family. I had two heroic brothers a wonderful sister and Cyborg. There was no need to come back to Azarath." She explained carefully. "And if you don't mind, we need to go soon." Four faces turned towards her curiously. "By the look on Robin's face, Slade just attacked." She smiled.

"Fine." Arella smiled back. "I approve of your choice Raven and good luck." She added white magic flowing from her hands and into Raven's chakra stone. Beastboy and Starfire re-entered the room, mischievous smiles adorning their faces.

"You hurt her and you'll have us to answer to." Falcon told Cyborg, patting a sword at his waist gently.

"Raven is unique, hurting her would be like cutting out my heart." Cyborg replied quietly, placing an arm around the empath's shoulders.

"Thanks Cybear." She murmured leaning into his embrace.

"If you guys are ready…" Robin smiled, hands on hips as he stood by the open portal. Beastboy was on his knees, begging Wren to leave with them.

"She's engaged Grass-Stain." Raven muttered to hide her embarrassment before grasping one of his elfish ears. "Goodbye." She added over her shoulder towards her first family before leaving for battle with her second.
"Titans Go!"
