Epilogue: Enter the Reaper
Helena Arella Logan - called Beastling by her peers in the hero community - raced through the city at night in her most powerful form. Her parents didn't know about this form: they'd be worried if they did.
She had inherited the full spectrum of powers from her parents: magic and demon power from her mother, shapeshifting from her father. Her skin was the pale green of the dawn of spring, her eyes pools of liquid amethyst. She had her father's pointed ears, and her mother's face. Her hair was prismatic, changing colors with the seasons: green in spring, golden in summer, flame red in autumn, and snow white in

13. The Mercy of Death
"COme on, Raven, you can do it! Just push! Push!"
It was almost time. Raven had gone into labor just a few hours ago. The entire team was gathered around her, her family. She struggled with the delivery. It wasn't as easy as it should have been, and her unique physiology meant epidurals simply weren't an option. Not that they were dangerous, they just wouldn't work.
As Raven was pushing, trying to bring a new life into the world, Helena was also breathing heavily. She could feel her muscles beginning to lock up. Her time was coming, too. She struggled to hold on...just a little longer.
*Please,* she prayed

12. Time Has Passed
Helena fished around in her bags and pulled out her last stick. This was the end of things, huh? One more week, and then...
Going up to the roof of the Tower, she lit up and let her mind wander, thinking back over everything that had happened in the past five years.
She and Cyborg had had a great fling. It had lasted two years, and then they decided to go their seperate ways romantically. WHile it had been great fun, there was only so much of that you could do...before it began to lose meaning. Helena was okay with that. At least her death wouldn't destroy him, as it might have had they still been dating.

11. Relationship Issues
The Slade investigation had hit a dead end. Criminal activity had died down, no one knew anything about what had happened, and there was no sign of Slade...anywhere. No contact, no robots, no dramatic appearances or cryptic clues. Nothing.
Robin was perplexed, but happy. If Slade had truely dropped off the radar so totally, then they didn't need to worry about him anymore. As he put it, theu got more than enough training dealing with regular villains, and anything they might go up against in the future from him they could easily handle. As such, he focused his attention on his growing relationship with Starfire

10. Who Will Die
Slade sat in his lair, watching the footage he had...acquired of the young green Titan who was the focus of his current interest. He watched that...other form rampage, taking the rest of the team apart. He watched that same creature easily dispatch the minions of Trigon the Terrible.
"Interesting..." he mumbled. "Such power hidden in such a pathetic man-child. But what brings it out? He obviously does not have control..."
He noticed that the Beast - as the Titans called it - was always angry when it rampaged. "Rage, is it? When I spoke with him earlier, he showed remarkable strength even in his human form when he be

9. Danger Looms
It had been a month since Beast Boy and Raven's first date, and things had been going wonderful. They had really hit it off, and while opportunities for further dates hadn't been forthcoming, they were enjoying spending time together. Occasionally, Raven would join Beast Boy in playing video games - although she wasn't very skilled - and quite often Beast Boy would sit reading with her.
The tower had actually gotten kind of quiet, aside from regular complaints about too many villains. Even Robin and Starfire were having problems finding time for each other. Robin was bound and determined to find out what was behind the i

8. You're not Alone...
Raven walked through the woods side by side with Beast Boy. Beast Boy, of all people. He carried a picnic basket slung over one arm, and he kept glancing towards her, as though he couldn't believe this was really happening. Not that she could blame him.
Flashback to that morning...
Raven pounded on Beast Boy's door, wondering what she was going to suggest, and wondering how she was going to do this. She ran out of time as he answered.
"Za? Whozat?" The door slid open, revealing Beast boy in just his Mega Monkey boxers. "Raven? What's up? What time is it..." He turned to look at the clock.

7. Smoking is Bad for Your Health
Helena stood on the roof of the Tower, looking out over the early morning sky. The sun wasn't even close to coming up yet.
It had been a couple of weeks since her discovery of Raven's feelings for her little brother, and things hadn't gone well. Three seperate attempts to get them together had proven not only fruitless, it had strained their friendship. First Starfire had suggested Beast Boy should serenade Raven. Good idea...poor execution. THe song "Poison" was a terrible choice, and led to Beast Boy being thrown across the harbor and Raven locking herself in her room for a few days. Then there had

6. Training sessions
*Bang!* *Bang!* *Bang!*
Raven groaned. "Go away..." she grumbled.
"Come on, Raven! The sun's almost up! You gonna sleep the day away? You get the first solo session with me!"
Raven grumbled and groaned. Glancing at the time, she realized that 'the sun's almost up' was a gross exageration. It wouldn't be up for at least two hours. Then again, when Helena had offered to teach them all some marine combat techniques and some hand to hand she'd learned on Warworld, she had volunteered to learn. She hadn't liked getting her ass handed to her so early. SHe staggered to the door. Opening it, she said, "It's way to

5. The Telling of Tales
Everyone gathered in the common room at Helena's request. She sat there, dressed in civis of a t-shirt and jeans. In her hands she held a leather bound book that looked like it was on the verge of falling apart.
"Well, everyone, I'm...pretty sure your all wondering what happened to me. Where I've been all these years."
"I sure am," Beast Boy said. "I got the letter about days after Mom and Dad...you know."
Helena winced. She knew what letter he meant. "Well, the truth of the matter is...I don't know where I was exactly. All I can tell you is that it didn't look anywhere like Earth."
Starfire looked up. "I
