She had always been alone. It was her life's story. So when a boy one year older than her in the colors of a traffic light came calling, she didn't know what to think.

"What do you want me for again?" She asked in a monotone.

"Well, I heard you had super powers, and we need a new team member." He explained.

"We?" She stated flatly. Three other teenagers popped up on the screen.

"This is Cyborg." He pointed to a boy, half metal, half man. "This is Beast Boy" He picked up a small green kitten and whapped it on the head. It morphed into a small green boy.

'That was weird.' She thought.

"And this is…" The boy looked around. "Uh, guys? Where's Starfire?" They both pointed off to one side of the screen. "Starfire! No, don't-" The boy sighed as a large explosion was heard.

"I am sorry friends! I was merely trying to free the people of smallness from the box of moving lights!" A girl with red hair and orange skin, presumably Starfire, came onto the screen. The other three fell back at her naivety.

"Aw man Star! You blew up the game station!" Cyborg said, running off the screen.

"What? Dude! We just got a new one!" The small green boy also ran off.

"I am most sorry! Please, I will assist in the fixing, yes?" Starfire started shooting green energy balls out of her hands and two yelps could be heard. "Please, be of the stillness!" Starfire called as she flew off. The boy in front of her sweat-dropped.

"So, wadda ya say?" He asked, flashing a smile.

"Fine." She replied sullenly. 'It's not like I have another choice.' The boy's smile grew wider when she said this.

"Alright Raven. I'm Robin, and welcome to the Teen Titans."

That was six years ago when they first became the Teen Titans. Three years later, a little robin stole her heart. That was when she was a child of seventeen. Now, at age twenty, she was still part of the Titans, but no longer were they teenagers. Robin stood at twenty one, Cyborg almost twenty two, and Beast Boy and Starfire both age nineteen.

"Whatcha doing?" The same smooth silky voice she'd come to love broke the silence of the roof top she was sitting on.

"Thinking." She replied, her voice no longer a simple monotone. Three years of learning to use emotions had changed that.

"May I join you?" She scooted over on the edge of the roof to make room for the man clad in blue and black. He had changed uniforms when he became Nightwing two years back, choosing blacks and blues to match her own uniform, and together they were one of the many sub-teams in the Titans. "You okay?" He asked gently. "You're awfully quiet."

"Just tired." She yawned.

"Happens when you stay out on patrol for the whole night." She laughed lightly before leaning on his shoulder. He gave her a hug and kissed her on the top of her head. "I think we can head home. Speedy and Star should be out here in about ten minutes." They stood up and Raven flew them down to the alley below them.

"Let's walk a bit before I fly us home." Nightwing took her hand and they started walking towards the beach. Both had grown up, emotionally and physically. Raven hadn't grown much taller, but she remained thin and her hair was longer now. Her face was no longer a stony façade, thanks to Nightwing. Robin had shed his streetlight colors to don the suit of Nightwing. A mask was still in place, but it came off more often. Nightwing had grown to six feet, still lean but more muscles evident beneath the spandex. His ebony hair was no longer the spiked look of his younger self, but still long. They had opened up to each other, and the broken children they hid for so long behind mask and hood were made whole through one another.

Upon landing back on the roof of the tower, Nightwing slipped an arm around Raven's waist and the descended into the living room where the rest of the titans were eating breakfast.

"Got anything for us?" Nightwing asked.

"Of course! How could we forget the love birds?" Cyborg joked. Raven threw a wet sponge at him from the sink. He easily dodged and slid two plates onto the counter. "I was just kidding Rae don't have to go all dark on me." Cyborg laughed. Raven shook her head with a small smile. After she and Nightwing finished, she started walking back up to the roof. A strong yet gently had grabbed her arm.

"Yes, you can come." She said turning to face Nightwing. He smiled and hugged her around the waist from behind, keeping his arms in place as they walked up to the roof. The sun was still red and the sky was just starting to turn blue. "Beautiful."

"Just like you." Nightwing whispered into her ear. She smiled and laughed at his corny line. She leaned further back into his chest as his grip tightened around her. "You do know how beautiful you are when you smile?" He said in a soft voice.

"Only because you remind me on a daily basis." She giggled.

"And your laughter, like a thousand tinkling silver bells." He cooed.

"Richard you can stop with the corny pick up lines. What do you want?" She turned in his arms to face him.

"Well, I was wondering if the lady Raven would like to accompany Lord Grayson to dinner this evening at Chez Pierre?" He asked with a flourish.

"Richard! That's the most expensive restaurant in town!" Raven gasped.

"I want to do something special tonight. Reservations are at seven, so you might want to take a nap before then. I know that's what I'm going to do." He said with a wink.

"If you want to take me, sure. I'll be ready at seven. But now, I need to sleep. If I go to bed any later, I think I'd sleep in." She said with a smile.

"Sounds good. I think I'll get to bed now then too." He grinned. She started to walk downstairs but was stopped yet again by Nightwing. She turned ready to act annoyed but was surprised by a deep and sensual kiss. The ones she had grown so used to receiving. She tenderly kissed him back before withdrawing.

"Sleep is good. Repeat after me Rich. Sleep is good." Raven slightly smiled.

"Sleep…is…good…must…follow…Raven…" Nightwing went into a zombie like trance and his head lolled around and fell on her shoulder.

"Richard!" She laughed pushing his head off. She started walking downstairs and he followed. Taking the elevator to their floor, they walked to Raven's door, which still read Raven, but the words 'And Nightwing too' had been etched crudely into the metal underneath her name. The door opened and they entered the room. Nightwing shed his spandex and climbed into the bed they shared while Raven took a quick shower. She changed into a pair of black and red boxers and a large black t-shirt. She fell onto the bed next to Nightwing and his arm wrapped around her waist and hugged her close. "Did you set the alarm for five?" She asked sleepily.

"Yes ma'm." He replied. She sighed contently before they both slipped into a much needed sleep.

It was six thirty when Nightwing and Raven stepped into the living room. Nightwing had on a suit and Raven was dressed in her favorite dress. It was black, with three thin black straps on each side that crossed in the back. The hemline folded up several times and had been sewn with red thread like the straps. There were accents of silver glitter on it. The dress used to stop a little above her knees, but now it was a little shorter. Nightwing had suggested it, since it was the dress she had worn on there first official date. In turn, he had on a red shirt under his black suit instead of the traditional white.

"Those outfits defiantly bring back memories." Beast Boy remarked from the couch. Nightwing smiled, and even though he had his mask on, Raven could tell he was planning something.

"Well, we're off. Don't wait up for us." Nightwing said before grabbing a set of keys from the key board and leading Raven to the garage. Their garage had had many additions to it for all the new vehicles of its members. Ranging from cars to motorcycles to jets, the garage was full. He led Raven over to the newest addition to the garage, a black Ferrari that he and Cyborg had modified, and they were very proud of it indeed. Nightwing opened the door for Raven. "After you." He flashed a smile down at her. She climbed in and Nightwing walked around the car and sat down. He revved up the engine and they shot off towards downtown.

"Bonjour monsieur Nightwing, madam Raven. I have your table veiting for you in ze corner! Please, follow me." The host said in a perfect French accent. He led them to a small table for two along the back wall by the piano. "Enjoy!" He said, handing them menus before departing. The waiter came over and Nightwing ordered for them: a bottle of wine, soup, and pasta.

"Richard you know I still can't legally drink." Raven reminded him.

"That's what I love about you Rae; you always stick to your morals no matter what anyone else is doing around you. One glass won't hurt though. Your birthday is in a few months." Nightwing told her.

"Ms. Independent, that's my theme song. No more than one glass, though." She smiled at him. The waiter was back and poured out two glasses. Nightwing lifted his and held it up to her.

"To Raven; Ms. Independent and the love of my life. May you never change." He said. She held her glass up as well.

"To Richard. The one who set me free from my emotions and the other piece of my heart. I love you." She replied. They clicked their glasses together before taking a small sip each. Nightwing put his down and started to look a little nervous. "Rich? You okay?" Raven asked, her empathy immediately picking up on his emotions.

"Don't know yet. Can I ask you something?" He questioned. She set her glass down and gave him her full attention.

"Fire away."

"Come with me." Nightwing led her outside and pulled them up to the roof of the restaurant. He fiddled a bit with something in his hands before dropping to his knee in front of her and holding out a small black box with a red ribbon tied around it. She recognized the wrapping job immediately and her hand flew to the necklace around her neck. This box wasn't rectangular, though. It was a ring box. "Is this…" She started, but was unable to finish. He nodded slowly. A smile suddenly spread across her face as she said "I would travel around the world and back again just to be with you Richard Grayson. Yes." He opened the box and slipped a black diamond ring onto her finger.

"I know it's not customary to use a black diamond, but I always preferred them over the regular ones. Just like I preferred you over regular girls."

She smiled at his words. "You always did know how to put a smile on my face." She whispered. She took his hand and pulled him to his feet.

"I guess good things really do come to those who wait." She gave him a questioning look. "Eighteen years of my life I had a gaping hole in my heart. I thought that because of my responsibilities, I might never be able to fill it. That was before I met a certain girl. She was dark, reserved, and even snide at times. But I was drawn to her at once. She was a mystery to me, and I love mysteries. I thought I'd never be able to tell her how she captured my heart those first few days of our friendship, let alone her feel the same way. But, the mad man I hated the most brought us closer together. His drive for ending lives caused that girl to save me from myself. That same drive allowed me to show my love for her. And now, after eighteen years of having a hole in my heart, and three of the best years of my life with that hole filled and the love of my life by my side, I can finally make her mine forever. You know you are in love when you see the world in her eyes, and her eyes everywhere in the world." Robin lifted his hand to the setting sun. Turning back to her, he said, "Raven, as long as the sun keeps setting and the moon keeps rising, as long as there is breath in my body and spirit in my soul, as long as we live and through our deaths, I will love you. That is my promise." He held Raven close, and tilting her head back, they kissed, the moon rising behind them in the purple sky and soft piano notes gliding up from the room below them. They had found understanding and compassion within each other, and through each other, they learned to love and overcome haunting tragedies of the past. But most of all, the two birds had found happiness and a reason to go on in life.

There is only one happiness in life, to love and be loved.

And the ones called Richard and Raven had finally achieved that one happiness.

The little purple button is there for a reason: for people to review azarathangel's story and make her happy! Haha ppl jk please review though this was originally its own story in the first few lines but it wouldn't have gone anywhere and was better as the beginning of an epilogue so yay!
