Hello everyone.

This week I am introducing the Teen Titans! This is set in about the middle of the fourth year. In my mind Nightwing went and founded the Titans in year two and stayed there until near the end of year three/start of year four. It has a lot of the Titans from the original cartoon.  It also mentions Slade Wilson AKA Deathstroke and his children Jericho (Joey) and Ravager (Rose).

Nightwing is training Rose secretly to join the Titans (the Titans know though, it's just a secret from YJ) who he still helps run and well an accident happens and the Titans come in (hence this chapter).

Red Arrow calls himself Speedy when amongst the Titans.

Oh and in my mind Red X is Jason, but no one knows apart from Nightwing (he might not be in this chapter though).

Sorry but I am ignoring most of Rose's actual story, but please just go with it.

WARNING: Panic attack

Hope you enjoy.

I don't own anything, sorry if anything is OOC.

Was it too much to ask for one day?! One quiet, peaceful day where no one was trying to destroy or rule the world. One day where no crazed terrorist group or mercenary put some diabolical plan into action. Actually. . . It most likely was. He really didn't have much luck and anything that could go wrong seemed to be going wrong recently, he wasn't having a good week (or month, or months, maybe even year).

Technically it had started with Rose Wilson, also known as Ravager. The daughter of Nightwing's enemy and former (forced) mentor Slade Wilson, also known as the mercenary, Deathstroke. Every week she had been sneaking into the cave so that he could help train her to be a hero with the goal of her eventually becoming a member of the Teen Titans like her brother Joey Wilson (also known as Jericho).

Despite not actually fighting as part of the Titans at the minute he was still technically the leader of the group and helped run things remotely, even going over to Jump when the situation required it. That meant he still played a role in who joined the team.

It had been one of those such training sessions when it had happened. Rose had snuck in without issue like normal and they had moved to a training room which Nightwing knew very people used. They had been practising hand to hand combat and it was exhilarating. Both of them had been trained by the same cunning mercenary and were fairly close in terms of skill level at times. It was just as Nightwing seemed to be winning, that it all went wrong.

Snap! The sickening crunch of bones being broken echoed through the almost empty training room. Nightwing was all of a sudden on the floor holding a clearly broken wrist. He looked up slightly dizzy from the fight and the pain and all he saw was long white hair, a single eye and a black and orange mask. Normally a broken wrist would be nothing but he'd been up for several days straight and really wasn't the healthiest or on the best place mentally at the minute, so he couldn't remember where he was and his mind automatically jumped to the wrong place.

He curled up in a ball on the ground, starting to hyperventilate. His mind racing, thinking back to his old Titans days or more specifically when Slade had kidnapped him and forced him to be his apprentice. He had broken his wrist just like now. He couldn't separate his mind and reality, all he could think was that he was back there. He was having a panic attack.

Ravager stood staring down at her normally strong and caring mentor, shocked to see him so affected by a broken wrist. She's definitely seen him with worse injuries and he'd not reacted like that before. Then she was hit with the sudden thought, a vague memory of him mentioning Deathstroke (she refused to acknowledge that man as her father, they weren't on good terms at the minute) had once done the same, back when he'd been forced into an apprenticeship. The reason why he was panicking crashed into her and she sprinted out the room, knowing she couldn't help him but there were others in the Mountain that could.

She slid through doorways and down corridors, looking for the one person who she knew could definitely help - Beast Boy. Unfortunately at her speed and in her panicked state she hadn't been looking where she was going and had crashed into someone, sending both of them flying to the ground.

"Hey, can you watch where- Ravager?" Bumblebee asked picking herself up and then offering a hand to her old acquaintance.

"Bumblebee, quick! Do you know where Beast Boy is? It's Nightwing!" Ravager blurted out panicking slightly herself.

"What do you mean it's Nightwing? What happened?" Bumblebee asked worried.

"I broke his wrist by accident and I think he panicked thinking I was Slade. He is having a panic attack and needs Beast Boy." Ravager explained swiftly, eyes scanning the room for her target.

"Oh no. Come on, I will help you find him." Both girls ran off looking desperately for Beast Boy, ignoring all the looks they got from the team (most were confused about who Bumblebee was with). Finally they spotted him talking to Robin.

"Beast Boy! Beast Boy! We need your help! It's Nightwing." Ravager shouted as soon as she saw him.

"Ravager? What do you mean it's Nightwing? What happened?" Beast Boy asked looking confused.

"We were fighting and I accidentally broke his wrist like Slade and he panicked thinking I was Slade. He's having a panic attack!" Ravager explained jumping around, unable to stay still.

"Where?" Beast Boy asked understanding the situation immediately.

"The training room."

"Kid Flash go into my room, under the bed is a little box. In there is my old communicator in the shape of a T find it and bring to the Training room, we will meet you there." Beast Boy ordered shocking everyone with how serious he sounded 9and the audacity to order one of the older team members around like that).

Kid Flash just nodded before sprinting off. The original Titans had explained Slade and what had happened briefly once before, he didn't know much but he knew enough to be worried.

"Beast Boy what is happening? And who is this?" Miss Martian demanded as Beast Boy, Bumblebee and Ravager were followed by the rest of the team as they sprinted back towards the Training room.

"I'll explain later just please-." Beast Boy stopped at seeing Nightwing shaking in a little ball on the ground.

"Guys do you think you can get Nightwing to his room? I don't want to do this here." Beast Boy asked in the general direction of the Team.

At that second Kid Flash sped in with a T shaped communicator.

"Here you go." Kid Flash nodded at Beast Boy, handing the communicator over.

Beast Boy took the communicator and set about pushing buttons in a seemingly random order. In the background Superboy lifted the surprisingly light Nightwing to his room everyone slowly followed until they were all crowded around the bland room. Nightwing hadn't reacted to being lifted and moved, just curled further in on himself and continued shaking.

A dim glow lit up Beat Boy's face as a holographic face started to appear in it. A guy with half a cyborg face was sitting at a computer facing them.

"Hey BB, long time no see." Cyborg called, happy to see his old friend and former teammate.

"Hey Cyborg. Do you think you can get over here, like now? Nightwing's having a panic attack about his time with Slade I could really use your help." Beast Boy asked hurriedly glancing down with concern at his older brother figure. Superboy had carefully deposited him on his bed and the dark shade of the cover wasn't doing much to reassure them of his health, he seemed abnormally pale.

"Sure, we'll be there as fast as we can. Starfire and Raven are here and we can pick up Titan's East and Speedy on our way over." Cyborg announced his face growing serious at the news of his old teammate and friend's predicament.

"Thanks Cyborg, that would be amazing. We're at the cave and I know Nightwing set the zeta beams to recognize you." Beast Boy smiled before turning off the communicator without further words and turning to face his current teammates who were barely able to hold themselves back during his chat with Cyborg.

"What on Earth is going on? Why is Nightwing like that? Who is this girl and who were you talking to?" Robin demanded his arms crossed, his worry for his brother obvious.

"Well you know how Nightwing, when he was still Robin, left Batman for two years?" Beast Boy started to explain with a sigh, being unusually serious.

With a nod from everyone he carried on. "Well, he came over to Jump city and helped form this group called the Teen Titans."

"Wait, like The Teen Titans? The youngest superhero team that doesn't have any help from the League?" Blue Beetle asked sounding excited. Clearly he was a fan.

"Yes, well Nightwing, though he was still Robin at the time, found me, Cyborg and Raven and we helped this alien girl, called Starfire, escape from some bad guys. We kind of became a team after that. Eventually another branch called Titans East started up. Their members included Bumblebee, Aqualad (Garth), Speedy and Mas y Menos." Beast Boy continued.

Just as he was about to say something else the whole team heard the Zeta Beam start up signalling the arrival of the so called Teen Titans. It didn't take long for the new comers to find the team and the room became even more crowded, it really wasn't designed for so many people.

A girl in a dark purple cloak stepped forward and gently put her hand on a still shaking Nightwing. He instantly calmed down and stopped moving.

"What did you do to him?" Zatanna asked stepping forward feeling something strange and...dark coming from the girl. She had been visiting the team at the Mountain, despite technically being a member of the Justice League now.

"I simply put him to sleep, don't worry, he will be fine." The strange girl stated calmly.

"Will someone please explain what is going on!" Batgirl shouted, her normal calm attitude vacant amongst all the confusion and mystery.

"Guys, this is Raven, Cyborg, Starfire, Mas y Menos, Garth another Aqualad, you already know Speedy or Red Arrow, Jericho and finally this is Jinx." Beast Boy introduced pointing at the cloaked girl, half cyborg guy, a floating red headed orange skinned girl, two twins, another Atlantian, Red Arrow, another guy and a pink haired girl.

"Hi." Each person waved or said hello when they were introduced, a bit awkwardly.

"Don't worry. We already know who you all are. Nice to see you again BB, you too Bumblebee." Cyborg smiled.

"What happened? The last time he was like that was. . ." Raven trailed off, leaving the original Titans knowing exactly what she had meant.

Ravager stepped forward and explained what had happened. She'd been mostly lurking in the back of the room, but had moved next to her brother when he entered the room.

"Slade. Of course it's Slade." Cyborg sighed.

"Emmm...who's Slade? And you still haven't explained who she is." Superboy asked interrupting the happy reunion, he pointed to Ravager. Conner was starting to get very frustrated and angry, he hated not knowing what was going on and this seemed like a big secret had been kept from them.

"It's your turn to explain things Raven." Beast Boy announced before turning into a green cat and snuggling up next to a sleeping Nightwing. Unconsciously, Nightwing moved to allow Gar closer, the green cat had started purring hoping to provide some comfort.

"When he was with the Titans, this new villain showed up. This villain was called Slade and he kept testing us. Nightwing got obsessed with finding out why, as he does. It turns out Slade was looking for an apprentice and had decided Nightwing was the perfect candidate. Slade tricked Nightwing into being his apprentice by putting these kind of chips in our bloodstream that would kill us if Slade pushed a button. Slade beat Nightwing black and blue, several times, we eventually rescued him but not before he was traumatized. A while later he showed up again and messed with us. He still shows up every so often, determined to have Nightwing as his apprentice." Cyborg explained watching the varying expressions on the team. A mixture between shock, sadness and anger.

"As for who this is, this is Ravager. She's Slade's daughter. Jericho here is also Slade's son. Don't worry though, they are not like their father at all. Oh and Jericho is mute." Raven continued smiling down at the nice sight of Beast Boy purring against Nightwing's side.

"Did you ever find out who Slade really is?" Artemis asked looking suspiciously at Jinx who was staring at Kid Flash with a weird expression that Kid Flash was returning, there was clearly a history there and she wasn't sure she liked it.

"Yes. Slade Wilson also known as Deathstroke. He is a big time mercenary." Red Arrow/Speedy stepped forward, arms crossed and inspecting the members of the team that he knew. It had been a while since he'd seen half of them.

"Hey if you guys were part of the Titans, why did you join us?" Mal asked looking at Bumblebee mainly although the question was also aimed at Beast Boy.

"Nightwing had been asked to return by Batman and he was going to join the team again. After explaining why he had to leave he asked if any of us wanted to join. We accepted." Bumblebee shrugged.

"So, you guys still keep in contact with each other." Wonder Girl's statement sounded more like a question.

"Yeah, we're still close friends. Besides Nightwing still pretty much runs the Titans just not from Jump city anymore." Cyborg replied. The room delved into an awkward silence before Raven decided to usher them out of Nightwing's room to give him some time to recover, leaving Beast Boy at his side. They moved towards the lounge, all a bit confused on what to do now.

"Hey, do you guys want to play a game?" Kid Flash asked, breaking the silence.

"Sure."

"Yeah."

"Okay."

"Why not?"

With that came the start of a beautiful friendship and a little more understanding of Nightwing. The original team knew especially that if they ever met this Slade, he was going to get seriously hurt for harming their little brother.
