First off I don't own anything related to or having to deal with the Teen Titans I hope you all enjoy this fic.

I'll start off by giving you some background info about the basic plot. I, being a huge Rae/Rob pairing fan, shows that's basically how the story MAY end. Also there will be lots of plot development because I believe that if you really understand a character well enough you tend to feel his or her emotions.

This fic is a supernatural type fic that follows the television show but branches off into an Alternate Universe type fic. I must give a great deal of credit to TheBitterSweetArtist14

Her story "Forbidden Fruit" inspired me to create this story. Which in a way deals with gods and demons. Though at first this isn't really prevailant but as the story continues it will show a whole lot more.

I hope you enjoy chapter one R&R

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. It's not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."

Coach Carter 2005

Within every soul there is said to be a great power. Humans have both the capacity for good and the capacity for evil. From earlier ages it has been proven that this great power inside of man can change the course of history. What causes this power to awaken you might ask? Well its simple. Emotion

Emotions such as love, happiness, fear and hate have been aroundsince the beginning. From thebiblical story of Lucifer's fall to the present day. These feelings are the keys to unlocking that light inside of our souls and allowing us to do the unthinkable.

The Beginning: Truth Hurts and Rejection Kills

The Teen Titans were said to be the greatest teenage fighting team around. They had all the elements a a great team: a wise guy in Beast Boy, a gentle heart in Starfire, a genius in Cyborg, a mystery in Raven, and finally a leader in Robin.

Beast Boy was, of course, the funny one. Loved video games, jokes and tofu. The basic comedy relief that every quality team needs. Though some of his jokes caused a certain lavender-headed teammate to strangle him, all-in-all he wasthe one always to lighten the mood. Starfire, in a way, did the very same thing not through jokes and laughs but by being a true friend till the end. She would never let tension rest in one of her teammates, for she would seek them out, whether it was her crush, Robin, or the sometimes creepy, Raven. Starfire insisted that all problems be discussed and resolved. For she did not want her friends to seperate, that would mean her trip to the future would come true.

Cyborg, the genius and half-human half-machine, was the creator of Titan Tower and that in its self showed his intelligence.Hedesigned a huge building shaped like a 'T' now that is something to marvel at. Not only was Cyborg agenius but he was also a great friend whom all the Titans would go to if they needed someone to listen and talk to. Raven, the dark, member of the team brought the air of mysteryto theTitans which personifies their'coolness' as local Jump City children would say. Born the child of Trigun, rumored to be the incarnation of evil, Raven was always known to keep to herself alot. Thiscaused others to see her as a forbidden womanas well as thesocial gap between herself and others.

Robin, the leader. What more can be said. He jointly created the Titan alongside Raven, but becauseof his leadership skills and abilities he was votedas the head of the team unanimously. Of all of the titansRobin was the only'normal' one. He had not powers, not even superior strength, all he hadwas heart and the strong sense of justice whichdemandedhe helped others. It was said that if the Titansone-by-one decided to leave the team, Robin would have been the last. The sense of justiceinside of Robin was unshakeable but all that was about to change.

It was very quiet in Titans Tower. Outside rain poured down over the city and the wind caused low moans throughout the tower. Robin had been sitting in his room thinking about what had happened last week. He had went face to face against many monsters andsolved hundreds of crimes but what he saw was too much for any sixteen year-old to handle. He didn't understand and at the same time he felt betrayed and in a way he was jealous.

Sure he and Starfire had been an item long ago, but now that he was reaching adulthood, he felt he needed someone more realistic like himself. That's when he decided to find and talk to Raven. Robin had ventured to her room, knocked several times, waited ten minutes and the entered only to find it empty. Obviously that meant she was on the roof or in the main room. So he checked the main room in which consisted of the other three titans who were either watching a newly aquired movie or sleeping. Robin then headed for the roof.

Robin sighed as he replayed the images in his head over and over again. He never wanted to see what he saw on the roof that night, it unnerved him, haunted him and broke him.

As he reached for the door he heard a soft moan and then a laugh, a very, very familiar laugh. One that sent chills to his spine. Slowly Robin peeked through the key hole only to see Raven fixing her uniform and a figure in the shadows.

"You were spectacular tonight my little raven. I must say I am glad that wecan share such a special moment together even though I will one day rid myself of you and your little friends."

That voice had haunted Robin for at least two years now. Slade. Robin's mind was jumbled and scattered. What was going on? What's happening? What happened? As if the gods themselves asked Raven gave Robin the one answer that would corrupt his already shaken state.

"Look Slade, I gave you my body. We both got what we wanted so leave. We can't risk one of them coming up here." Raven's words cut through Robin like a knife. His mind, heart and soul were ablaze with pain. He stepped from the door and made his way back to his room and did what he swore never to do again. He cried.

Robin remembered those events as if they just happened. Pain, anger, betrayal, heart ache. All of these were getting to be to much. He reflected on how Raven was able to come to breakfast the next day as if nothing had happened at all. This sickened Robin beyond belief. She fought evil by dayand slept with it by night. It was all to much for him to hold in.

Robin shook his head of such thoughts, that had happened a week ago, but... Was it still going on? If yes then how often? And why? Robin was really at a loss of words. Sleep had even begun to elude him. But that didn't matter anymore. Robin thought back to just a few days ago when he confronted her about what he had seen her reaction wasn't what he had expected nor wanted.

"Raven, can I come in?" Robin asked as he trembled with sadness, anger or fear, he wasn't sure.

"Robin whatever you have to say can be said from the hallway." She replied in the same dry tone she was known for. Robin sighed and then mentioned the 'roof' and 'a few days ago' and instantly the door was open and Raven on the other side anger apparent on her face.

"What!" She demanded as Robin looked away.

"I saw you and Slade up there and I think I have an idea of what might have went on, but I won't jump to conclusions. I want you to tell me the truth, Rae." He said as he looked at her but the looked away after he finished. Raven glared at him and shook her head.

"Its none of you damn, business." With that she slammed the doors together with her powers but instantly she heard typing and they were once again open and this time Robin stepped into her room to find Slade standing in the far corner while Raven remained with her back to him.

"Ah, my old chum Robin. It isn't wise of you to go barging into locked rooms. Who knows what we could have been doing." Slade grinned as he pushed himself from the wall and stood next to Raven.

"If she doesn't want you to know about our fun you should respect that." Slade laughed.

"What is he doing here, Raven!" Robin asked as made no attempt to attack Slade. he was far to confused to even think at the moment and just wanted an answer.

"Fine!" Raven growled as she turned to look at him. "I have needs, I'm just as much a teenager as you are! I was tempted and I gave into the temptation. I swear to you Robin, this was the only time I brought him here." Raven finished softly she looked to Slade.

"Don't worry, Robin I am a man with honor.I want to beat you at yuor best. I wouldn't dare attack you while you slept... besides I'd be too exhausted anyways." Slade purred as he stroked Raven's hair. Robin's reality spun continued to do so until it all faded into black.

"How could Raven do this, to us, to..." Robin became furious with anger but did not yell out instead he began to cry once again. This pain was great, no doubt about it. Robin tried to pull himself together but the pain never left him. Raven, the young woman whom he had began to care for, recieved and gave pleasure to Slade. Someone who has always tried to kill and harm them including her as well. It made no sense to him. After all they had went through, Robin had thought Raven was becoming more open about herself due to the fact her father Trigon was no longer able to get control of her. Together they had stopped the apocalypse but Raven she... she..

"I have to leave. I can't take it any more." Robin whispered to himself. Everything that he had been taught about others was being thrown out the window. His mind and heart were shredded. He couldn't continue on. Robin sat down one last time at his desk in order to write his farewell note to his friends.

After finally finising, he exited his room and went to the main room. It was around two or three in the mourning but that didn't matter, his need for sleep was erased days ago. Robin placed the letter on the counter and left.

When the others found the note, shock and panic broke loose.

"Oh man, this is real bad! I mean without Robin we're toast! I still remember that time we tried to fight the Hive without him and we were toasted!" Beast Boy yelled Cyborg and the others ignored him altogether.

"Why would Rob, do this. I mean what on Earth would make him abandon us! Let me see the letter BB." Cyborg grabbed the letter and read the rest of its contents out loud

"Sorry guys about all of this,don't waste your time looking for me.I'm really missed up

right now. I'm sorry Star, BB, Cy and Rae. I love you all but I have so much pain right now

I don't know what to do. Raven I was too much of a coward to say this before but I love you.

Yeah even now I still do and thats why I'm dying. I can't let you guys see mee like this so good bye.

Love, Robin"

Cyborg looked to Raven who now was wide-eyed. She left the main room and returned to hers. Cybrog comforted a very mortified Starfire who was crying non stop. She thought that maybe this was her fault and she couldn't live with herself. Beast boy sat in the kitchen and looked ahead at the wall unable to say anything. Cyborg sighed heavily wondering where Robin was.

A few days later Robin found himself walking the streets in normal attire. (jeans and a hooded jacket with the hood up of course) He refused to show his face the same one that still wore the mask of Robin but deep down inside he knew Robin faded away into nothing when he stepped outside of that tower. So then who was he? He couldn't be Robin anymore he couldn't even fight crime, he no longer had the heart to do so. For a moment he paused and looked up and the night sky.

The stars were actually visible for the first time or maybe they had always been visible it just he never noticed. Bruce had told him that powers didn't make heroes, it wassomething elseinside of them. That little'something' was love he taught and still believed, but his heart was destroyed fighting crime was a joke anyways.

He continued down the street a little more until a voice stopped him.

"So Robin I see my plan worked." Slade appeared out of the shadows and snickered. The young man looked up with his mask still concealing his eyes and shook his head.

"Slade you win. I don't want to fight you. Just let me live and die." Slade laughed and then grinned.

"Oh my poor Robin all heart broken about you little Raven? Or should I say 'my' little Raven?" Slade laughed softly as the former Titan leader dropped his head.

"Please just stop, I've had enough." He started walking past Slade who was enjoying this greatly. He no longer wished for an apprentice for he saw what true power was and her name was Raven. Slade only wanted one thing from him. A complete breakdown and Slade knew just what button to push to get his goal.

"You know Robin you could have never given Raven what she needed, Right?" Slade mocked as he began to follow the teen until the boy stopped at those words. He turned to face Slade and sighed in defeat and agony.

"Stop." He whispered on the verge of tears. Slade laughed harder.

"She would do the most unbelievable things to me Robin." Slade grinned as his victim fell to his knees and covered his ears.

"Stop! Please... just stop." Slade looked at him and shook his head.

"Oh yes Raven said those same words the first time, but she came around and began to beg for me. Oh how she would plead on some nights and then others talk so dirty." Sladespoke as he began to hear whimpers and slight groans from Robin. Slade was loving every second of this Robin was crackingand soon he would be in an asylum somewhere. Slade knew exactly what to say to destroy Robin.

"Sometimes I'd ask her if she loved me... do you know what she'd say?" Slade paused as the broken child lifted his weary, pained eyes to Slade's "She'd tell me of how she loved me more than life itself." At that moment, as tears of defeat ran down his face, a pain unlike any ever felt before surged through his body mind and soul. His eyes began to roll into the back of his head and Slade grinned.

"Isn't it funny, that you spent nearly three years with her helping, leading, loving her while I have spent that time trying to kill you all, but it is I who is first to touch her... sweet body." Robin began to shake with all of this truth.His consciousness began to leave him as the unknown pain continued.

"Well it was obvious I was more connected to her than any of you ever were... I served her father, an evil demon of great power... I guess that old saying is true: The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. In Raven's case it landed in my lap... yes she would always prefer to be on top." Slade mocked

At that moment the pain became to great that Robin could no longer speak. His body began to glow. Slade saw this and took a step back. Soon Robin began to make gargled noises within his throat as the only way to voice the searing pain.

"Wha... what's happening?" Slade whispered as Robin began to glow brightly. His attire began to burn as his body was lifted off the ground. To Slade Robin was being hung on some sort of invisible cross. The light began to grow brighter by the second causing others to seek out its source. Slade ran off as more and more people gathered to look from afar. Soon news stations deployed reporters and this lead to the event being televised.

At Titan Tower, Cyborg had just turned off the gamestation and caught a glimpse of the news he immediately rallied the others and Raven fly them to the scene.

All the while this was going on Robin's clothing burned until nothing was left. There was something waiting to get out but it still wouldn't leave. His body ached and the immense pain was still to great, so great that he could no longer create any sound because of the pain. His mask was the last article of clothing that began to burn.

Once it was completely gone the pain began to pulse even faster through his body threatening to rip him to pieces. The other Titans moved closer and then finallyrecognized recognized who it was.

"Robin." Raven whispered. The others looked at her in disbelief.

"He doesn't have powers, does he?" Beast Boy asked as he was the light from his leaders body began to expand. Everyone backed up a considerable distance and continued to watch.

"We have to get him down!Rae, can you get throught to him?" Cyborg asked and Raven nodded.

"I'll try." With that Raven began to meditate and then tried to reachRobins mind.

Unfortunately, that was the mistake made. When he felt her presence that pain increased ten-fold and from his bodya beam of immensely bright light shot into the heavens along with the most blood-chilling yell any mortal could make. The Titans looked on in awe as the huge beam created a wall around their leader of pure energy.

"Oh, my... god!" One reporter stated as he watched the skyitself become the color of the beam until it was no longer night time in the city. The sky began to open as a figure used the beam emitting from Robins bodyalmost like an elevator down to him. Her long blonde hair reached to her lower back and her pure white robes hung loosely to her body.

"She's so hot!" Beast Boy saidsoftly as Cyborg agreed momentarilyfogetting about Robin. Raven, on theother hand, wasn't amazed but shocked. She knew who that being could be, but it shouldn't be possible.

The woman touchedRobin's face and his pain left him in that instant. His tired blue eyes regarded her with no emotion. She nodded once and soon markings began to cover every inch of his bodywhich began to ascend upwardtowards the openning in the sky. The Titans saw this and quickly ran toward the two.

"Hey! Stop!" Cyborg yelled with urgence.

"Please do not take friend Robin!" Starfire begged.

"If you take him take me too!" Beast Boy pleaded earning looks frome everyone. He looked around at them and shrugged. "She's hot!" Raven ignored him. She knew this woman wouldn't listen but it never hurt to try.

"Freya! Please don't take him." The woman turned to Raven and acknowledged her.

"Demon, you know not what is to come. He has asked to serve us and We, the Etherians, have choosen him." Freya began upward as civilians contiuned to stare in awe. Beast Boy, Cyborg and Starfire looked to Raven.

"Rae, what the heck is an Etheri...uh... whatever she said."Raven looked downand sighed

"Etherians are known on this planet as celestials or gods." Beast Boy's eyes bulged.

"She was a goddess!" Raven only nodded.

"But what would she want with friend Robin?" Starfire asked Raven looked away. She had no clue what Freya wanted but she knew that they'd never see Robin again.

So how was it? Good I hope. As I mentioned above I was inspired by TheBitterSweetArtist14's story Forbidden Fruit. A Story that I loved and hope it will continue.

Alright as I also mentioned above is that this story will have gods and oter supernatural events in it. There will be some combining of certain mythologies with a certain current religion. I promise you that no religion used in this fic is mocked, but it is respected.

INFO- Freya is the Goddess of Love and War in Norse Mythology claimed to have been the most beautiful of the goddesses of that time. (Wife to another god ,Odin, but won't be for important reasons later.)

If you liked and think I should continue Read and Review.
