Summary:
The Titans have gone undercover, accepting to send two members to the sinful, never resting life of Trinity Conqueror, a city far from Jump City, residential home of the Titans. Richard Grayson, dubbed mainly as Boy Wonder, has accepted to be part of the investigation, this new villain claiming himself invincible to the efforts of the now older heroes. This only proved to promote the dying obsession Richard had over his ex arch nemesis... Slade. But, for this mission to succeed, a partner must be assigned as well, preferably a team member, a Titan. And joining him will be...Raven? And they have to ...what?! Go undercover as a... COUPLE?!
Robin/Raven Adventure/Drama/AU (Alternate Universe... well slightly) with slight OOCness
Rated: M (for slight mature content in following chapters and intentions of plot, language and explicit scenes) If you are not comfortable with this type of work, please simply return to the previous search for a Fanfic to read and enjoy other great author's work.
NOTE: If the reader does not agree with the pairing or the story plot on how the way this story will and is progressing, please I implore you to refrain from flaming me within the reviews. Positive criticism and encouragement is always welcomed. Also, take note I have not ever set foot out of my state, therefore, most cities or town, actually the whole setting, is simply from the mental map I have made up. Any likeness or similarity to another place is simply coincidental.
DISCLAIMER: I do not own the TEEN TITANS, not the animated series nor the DC comics, or any other places where they originally came from. Lyrics of songs may appear in the following chapter but note, original owners and author will be mentioned with the author's (mine) note at the beginning, or end, of each chapter.
Thank you for even bothering to read this, my first attempt of a Teen Titans Fanfiction. I hope readers enjoy and a reviews are welcomed, as well as any suggestions, questions, or simply a thought that occurred the reader's mind while reading. Thank you again.

DINI-DI-NINI-DIDI-NINI ( suppose to be the theme song)
"Huh? Wha-", a yawn escaped his mouth. He shook the grogginess in his head and lazily opened his eyes. Why the hell was he awake? And especially... he slightly rolled to his left and glared at the vibrant fluorescent red numbers on his clock. 'Damn, it's barely 2: 17 in the morning...' another yawn. Growling, he pushed himself up, resting on his lower arms, and glanced around his room. A few scattered clothes lay near the tall closet he had in the far corner his ever busy desk jammed with newspapers, gadgets, and other random things that had managed to end up there. He rubbed his slightly burning eyes with the palm of his hand. 'Why in the seven hells did I wake -'
DINI-DI-NINI-DIDI-NINI
His old communicator! He thrusted his body off the bed, tangling in the red satin sheets and stumbling with a dull thud on the wooden floor. He growled in annoyance but stopped as he caught sight of the flashing device's light underneath his king sized bed.
"Aha!" he reached underneath and brought the palm sized communicator. The screen was slightly scratched from the tough usage but it looked functional none the less. He glanced around and caught his reflection on the lamp's shining surface. His eyes widened.
DINI-DI-NINI-DIDI-NINI
He didn't have his mask on! 'Crap, crap, crap,' he chanted mentally and searched the side table. He found his black mask and slipped it on. As soon as the material touched his tan face, it was like his superhero senses came instantly on alert. He cleared his throat and looked down at the screen of the communicator, pressing the red side button. The 'T' screen saver disappeared and he recognized the image of Commissioner Gordon, siting on a desk. "Commissioner Gordon. What's seems to be the problem?"
"Robin. My apologies for disrupting this late in the morning," Robin dismissed his remark with a slight nod of his head, "But something has come up. We need you at the police headquarters, in Gotham, now." With that, the screen once again went blank and the screen saver went on again. 'Trouble,' his mind concluded. He shot up and threw back the sheet that had managed to fall with him and in record time, dressed in the now leather Robin suit. As he clipped on his utility belt, his trained hearing caught the faint sound of a cape. His body tensed by reflex and his hand grabbed for his Bo-staff.
"Going somewhere?" came a whispering reply. His broad shoulders relaxed and he looked back at the shadowed figure of Raven, leaning against the large bookcase. He placed back the re-sizable staff into his belt.
"Needed back at Gotham. Won't take long," he informed. Raven raised an elegant eyebrow and undid her folded arms below her chest. "Anyway, why are you in my room, Raven?" he asked, now realizing it as well. Raven slightly shrugged and her hood managed to slide back, revealing her rare tresses of purple hair.
"You're really loud when you're waking up," she mumbled back, now meeting his gaze with amusement in her amethyst eyes. Her room was right below his, making his awkward slip up quite noticeable. She had to look up now, to meet his gaze. Robin, when he neared his twentieth birthday,actually since his sixteenth, had gone under his growth spurt. He now was as tall as Cyborg, if not taller. "Heard your fall."
"Uh," he looked away. Great, she found him near one of his weak moments. He finished slipping on his dark green gloves and finally faced her. She and Starfire were finally the same hight. Yet Raven managed to make herself look so petite, always hiding behind her billowing cloak.
"Come back alright, 'kay?" he looked back, a bit taken back for the concerned from the exotic team member comment. She looked rose a hand, palm facing him, silencing a reply from him. " If you don't return, I get stuck with your chores." He scowled, making her smirk. She placed the hand on her black leather clad hip, parting open her cloak. He cleared his throat, knowing partially his gaze had stayed a second to long on her cloaked figure and faced the windowed doors leading outside his balcony. "Don't get yourself killed, Boy Wonder," Raven shot back her shoulder and engulfed herself in her black aura, disappearing in seconds. He nodded to were she once stood and looked ahead. Jump City was still roaring with civilian life. He discreetly pressed a button on his belt and looked below him. The disguised garage door to the Titans Tower opened and his R-Cycle, undergone a new paint job, roared to life and settled mechanically under his balcony. He easily jumped off and landed on top of his vehicle, slamming on his red helmet, kicking the kickstand and roaring forward, speeding away in incredible speed. He zoomed between vehicles, getting honked as he sped by. He smirked and revved his bike to pick up speed. The night was cool, a great night to kick a villain's sorry hide, especially for waking him up. Sleep, sometimes a rarity for him, was very precious. He barely got any as it was. He managed to make it to Gotham in under ten minutes, knowing he broke a few traffic laws on the way, and parked his bike in an alley. He pulled out his grappling hook and soon zoomed up the side of the worn building of the police station. There, he found the petite, round stature of the commissioner, looking forward in the sky. 'What's all this about?' he wondered. He cleared his throat out loud, startling the officer.
"Ah, Robin. Again, my apologies for the – " Robin raise a hand to again dismiss the apologies.
"What's going on, Gordon?" the man cleared his throat and pulled out a file he previously held in his folded arm.
"Seems a new threat has emerged to terrorize Gotham," he pulled out a printed out picture of a shadowed man, barely caught by the security lights. He was clad in black, from head to toe, leaving only his biceps visible. "Broke into Neal&Atwater Co. three nights in a row, without us finding immediately out about it. He's a crafty one he is." He pulled out another picture, but of the mystery man inside the halls of a the company. His black cape hid his form from behind but it was no mistake it was the same man.
"What's at Neal&Atwater building?" Robin questioned, his detective skill already working.
"What isn't. From legal and law cases to weaponry," the commissioner informed. He took back the pictures from Robin and looked up at the stern face of the Boy Wonder.
"What'd he take?"
"That's the queer thing, absolutely nothing." Robin rose a thick eyebrow. 'Nothing?Hmm, means whatever he was looking for clearly wasn't there.' He looked down at the file now in his hands. 'Who are you and what are you looking for?' "He's fled, though." Robin's head shot up.
"What do mean he fled?"
"He left Gotham city a night ago. Would seem the problem let itself out the door, no?"
"So why call me?" Robin asked, letting the edges of his black/yellow cape shield his shoulders. The commissioner rubbed the back of his head. Robin's masked eyes took in the body language: fidgeting, avoiding eye contact, breathing had increased. "What is the urgency?" the officer finally met his gaze and sighed. "Remember you let me know if it came up again, in any case?" Robin tensed. No, it couldn't be.
"He's back?!" he growled.
"No! Not that we are aware of... but," the commissioner reached into his coat pocket and pulled out a folder piece of paper. Robin snatched the paper from his hands and stared at it. His fist began to slightly shake in rage. 'Fuck...'
Raven sighed as she let herself back in her room. She glanced back to the similar double doors that led to her balcony and stared at the distant city, Gotham, where their leader was currently worrying himself sick over a new case. She sighed and let the cloak fall from her shoulders. Her leotard was gone and in its place remained a light leather black outfit, similar in design, but with a daring open slash down the sides of her abdomen, exposing her ribs and pale skin. How she had loathed the clothing the moment she had gotten them. But reluctantly, she had worn them. Beast Boy had managed to replay her previous outfits with the new suit, so she had no other choice.
"Couldn't wake up without waking me up as well, could you Boy Wonder?" she asked no one. She had felt a strong wave of emotion flowing from the room above hers, his, the moment he had woken up. Might have been from the dream he had been having or thoughts, but it had been strong. She let herself fall onto the soft mattress and stare up at the ceiling. That was mid night leave for the Boy Wonder number... twelve, for this week. Seemed the Dark Knight was too busy for the simpler jobs of Gotham City and left his used-to-be-sidekick to do them. 'I swear, Robin's becoming more and more like the emotionless Bat everyday,' she groaned and tried to settle back to sleep, having slipped onto a simple long black T-shirt. There was no need to worry about Robin. He could take care of himself. If he needed back up, he could call. She let her hair fan onto the pillow and closed her eyes. Suddenly, she sat up right as a shiver ran down her spine. She wildly looked around her room, nothing seemed out of place. 'What's going on?' she wondered. A cold sweat had begun to form on her brow. Her gaze went to the crescent moon on the night sky. 'Something's wrong...'
Robin's fist clenched tightly onto the grip of the handle bars. His jaw was set so tightly it was beginning to hurt. He raced to the camouflaged underwater tunnel entrance towards the Titans Tower, revealing the door briefly to the world, but sealing as fast as a blink of an eye. The lights reflected rapidly over the shining surface of the bike and helmet. The tunnel roared with the echo of the engine. His breath came with difficulty. Suddenly, the patterned sound of the engine's roar was disrupted.
DINI-DI-NINI-DIDI-NINI
He quickly reached into his belt and unhooked the communicator.
"Robin here."
"Robin," he glanced down to see the sleepy graceful face of Raven, "Is...is everything alright?" Damn, he forgot about the sensitivity of their bond.
"Wake everyone. Move to the conference room. We need to talk, now." He glanced down again at Raven, who nodded promptly. "Robin out." he clicked on the communicator onto his belt and rose the front of the bike increasing speed.
Raven disconnected the signal and stood up from the bed. Removing the black T-shirt, she quickly slipped on her suit and cloak. Her eyes caught sight of the small father clock replica on the corner table. '4:07 in the morning,' she sighed and clipped on the cloak, 'Beast Boy's going to a pain in the ass to wake up.' Her suspicions had been right. With Robin's demand for a sudden conference, he had confirmed her suspicion, something was wrong.
