Chapter 1 - Raven Meets Blackhawk

Raven and all other characters are the property of their respected owners. I give all credit to the original creators. I do not own Teen Titans but like many others I wish I did. So here's my love story part 1, enjoy.

Raven's eyes weaved into the cracks on her ceiling. One interconnecting with the other. Like stars in the constellations. Raven rolled over in bed as she checked the clock beside her.
"2:30..." she muttered.
Raven had a terrible case of insomnia that had been going on well over a month now. Her trouble sleeping made her think of everyone elses ease when they slept. Robin and Starfire cuddling in their bed. Terra and Beastboy warm in each others arms. Raven's bed was cold even though her purple and blue sheets meant to keep her warm. Just like her heart. It was created to love. And she was cold, bare and desolate. Raven pulled the covers up to her chin and adjusted her legs. She choked back tears violently.
"I can't afford to feel anything..." she muttered to herself, "I can't cry..." Raven sobbed as a little tear ran down her cheek. She wiped away the tear with one of her fingers. Wishing that she had someone to wipe the tears from her face. Raven's tear seemed enough to put her to sleep. Her eyes slowly began to flutter closed.
KAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRROOOOOM!!!!!
The alarm in the tower blared on and Raven sat bolt upright.
"Damn..." she cursed.
She could hear the pitter patter of everyone's feet as they left their rooms. Raven quickly threw on her cape and yanked on her boots in an irritable rush. As her door slid open she caught a glimpse of what may have been Starfire pulling up her skirt.
"Ew... not what I needed to see."
"DUUUUUDE!" Beastboy bellowed, "Crime on a friday night! That is so not cool!"
"Beastboy, shut up..." Raven whispered roughly.
They all gathered around the monitor and looked upon the scene of the cities small island prison being attacked. A lot of it was up in flames.
"TITANS MOVE!" Robin ordered.
They all made their way to the roof and Raven lifted Robin up and flew toward the blazing inferno in the middle of the blanket of water. Starfire carried Cyborg and a look of worry played across her face. The island tremored and shook as they got closer. All landed just as the prison shook violently yet again. Chunks of concrete flew into the air and Robin rolled away just in time as a chunk of concrete slammed onto the ground where he once stood.
"OH!" Starfire yelped as she helped him to his feet.
"Thanks, Star."
Terra had taken control of several of the flying debris and tossed it harmlessly into the bay.
"Search for survivors, find whoever did this, split up. TITANS GO!" Robin ordered.
Raven once again lifted Robin off the tremoring beast and into the blazing inferno. Going from one danger to another. As soon as everyone had gone their seprate ways Raven trudged off on her own. She lifted her hand and it glowed the deadly black and the steel door wrenched free and clattered to the floor in a hail of dust. She slowly walked inside and down the narrow concrete hallway. Large, deep cracks lined the walls and chunks were missing from them as well. She could feel the heat of the flames she was about to encounter. She came across the first body, a man in an orange jumpsuit. Facedown, obviously dead. She looked about cautiously at the half open cells. Some had random bodies of convicts and dead armored prsion guards. The prison tremored once again as some stone fell from the ceiling and Raven summoned the psychic shield around herself. Dissolving any stone as it touched.
"AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!"
Blood curling screams invaded her ears along with the sound of erupting gunfire. Soon her ears were filled with the lonely sound of the licking flames. Raven's eyes slammed shut and she began to have a premonition; black waves of light, screams, falling bodies... warden's office. It ended... Raven shook her head slowly. She began to carefully choose her hallways, searching for signs. Finally she got some gold. A steel sign that listed locations in the prison read "PAROLL OFFICE: FLOOR THREE, OFFICERS QUARTERS: FLOOR FOUR, WARDEN'S OFFICE: FLOOR FIVE.
Raven climbed a few staircases until she came across a sign that read: FLOOR FIVE. The prison tremored violently as smoke poured in from downstairs. Raven's heart skipped a beat as she opened the oak doors to the fifth floor. This floor was clean. The marble floor was polished and the oak staircases and trimming looked as if it had just been laquered. Raven was not fooled by the tranquility. She readied herself.
"AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!"
More screams rocketed into her ears.
She heard the steps of the staircase creak as someone slowly made an agonizing journey down them. Raven raised her hands and they glowed that lethal black again, ready to defend herself. A half armored prison guard fell the next few steps. Raven lowered her arms and stepped over. She took him up and slipped off his helmet.
"Get... out of... he...re," he stammered.
"Who did this?" Raven asked.
"I'm sorry... he...s a psycho.... go..." he whispered hoarsely.
Raven watched as he died in her arms.
She set him down respectfully gently on the floor.
She walked cautiously up the stairs as she readied herself again. She came to a long narrow hallway that stretched onto a single door at the end. The building tremored again and some pictures of the prisons past wardens fell from the wall and shattered. Finally she reached the wooden oak door labeled, "WARDEN ANTHONY MANCINI." Raven took a breath and turned the knob slowly on the door and eased it open. She came to look upon another fancy office. One with leather chairs and fancy desk lamps and degrees on the wall. She heard the sound of breathing somewhere... She turned toward the sound and...
"OH!" Raven said in shock.
There was a young boy huddled against the wall in front of the body of the former warden. Blood seeping out from underneath.
He looked up at her slowly.
He was Azerathian, looking a bit older than Raven... maybe a year. He had random navy blue streaks in his raven black hair that went down to his shoulders. His red asna chakra gleaming in his forehead. His hollow empty black eyes burned into hers. Random blood streaks ran across his face and his black robes and cape. His long fingers clenched and he wore black gloves with the fingers cut off. She could see laceless black boots poking out from under his robes.
Raven could not explain it but her heart began to race and she began to blush.
"I killed them all..." he muttered.
"You did this?" she asked kneeling down next to him.
"I... lost control... I..."
"What's your name?" Raven asked with sudden interest.
The young Azerathian boy looked at her with no expression to his face and whispered; "Blackhawk."
"Raven..." she managed to stammer out.
Raven fell into his deep black eyes and the color rose in her cheeks. "Damn he's cute." she thought to herself.
Raven caught herself and made up for the awkward silence by saying in the most business-like voice she could muster.
"You... should come with me."
Her heart raced faster and nervous little beads of sweat ran down her face as he took her hand to steady himself as he got up. The building tremored again and Raven caught him as he half fell.
"Why?" she asked.
"Bianca..."
"Bianca?"
"My sister, one of them killed her... I couldn't forsee who it was... I had no choice."
He looked into her eyes.
"I had to kill them all."
"I only know one thing, his name was Slade."
