I have posted this story on both my deviantart and fanfiction account but I guess it will be better for me to post it here, instead of the link. I do know this pairing is rare, comments are welcome and I do have some grammar mistakes here and there, please forgive me for that.
Enjoy ^^

Dark Hearts
Preface~
“You won't get away with this, Slade,” the boy wonder growls at the masked villain before them.
“Ah Robin, I already have, see you soon and do keep in touch,” Slade says coldly. His robots minions swarm the young super heroes before they could go after their arch nemesis. Robin kicks one of the robots in face, destroying it with his bo staff, he turns to his team after they have finish the army of Slade bots.
“He may be still around, let's go,” he says but the half teen half robot teen hero stops their leader,
“Robin, he should been long gone by now,” he says.
“No, he is still here...I am able to senses him,” the Gothic sorceress; Raven informs them,
“What are we waiting for? Let's go!” the boy wonder orders, Raven looks at him and shakes her head,
“He knew and he left,” she says, Robin growls and struck his bo staff into the ground out of anger.
“Dude, it's not like we ever n** him,” the green skin animal shape shifter informs him,
“Grass stain, zip it,” Cyborg snaps at Beast Boy.
“May be, I should go take a look...just in case, I will inform you when I find anything,” Raven says, soon the Alien princess says,
“Friend Raven, I don't like the idea of you going alone,”
“I will be just fine...what can he do to me?” she questions.
Robin looks at Raven, he remembers just well what Slade did to her during her birthday, when he was working for Raven's demon of a father; Trigon the Terrible. Still he has much faith in Raven, he looks at her,
“You are sure, you will be fine?”
“Positive,” she replies simply, Robin nods to her. Raven then levitates off looking for any signs of their nemesis that they were fighting earlier, well she has to or else there's no way Robin would chill. Raven following the hints of Slade's aura to a abandoned warehouses, she was sure he went this way, she hears an alien sound, she steps out of the way of a fallen debris,
“I will have to be careful around here,” she mutters to herself. The sorceress still following Slade's aura, soon she picks up something, she is sure the man himself is here but hidden, too concentrate on locating Slade, she fails to notice a large slab of roof is giving way above her. Whatever happens next, plays before her just too fast, she sees Slade appearing out from his hiding, he throws himself right at her, he rolls her and himself into a small pocket of space. When everything finally stay still, Raven finds herself being pinned down under Slade into a small pocket of space and both of them are trap.
Raven glares at Slade, then his voice break the silent between them,
“Could you be so kind, Raven to try to remove those slabs so we could get ourselves out of this...position,” he says. Not that she wants to obey him but she do want to get out of this position as much as he does, Raven tries to call up her powers but the heat of Slade's body, the rising of his chest, his beating heart and even his scent is making her lost all concentration over her power.
“I can't...” she cries almost helplessly,
“Then in that case, we will have to wait for your friends to find us then,” he says coldly, well he looks at down at the young half demon girl, he has to say, at this close, the girl does look very...beautiful and her small frame feels just right on his body. Slade snaps back to reality, having the urge to hit himself,
“As much as I dislike this position we are in, we have to help each other, if you wish to get out of this alive,” he says coolly,
“I am going to reach to my utility belt to grab some pills that could at least give us some water while we are here, at this position, it is hard not to touch you by accident,” he adds.
Raven looks at him, she nods, Slade slowly his hand down to his belt, his finger brush Raven's slim slender waist, Raven looks away and blushes as he takes out two pills,
“Can you move your hands?” he asks,
“A little,”
“Can you feed yourself?”
“What do you think?” she growls.
“I will take that as a 'No', could you try to touch my shoulder?” Raven sighs and reaches to touch his shoulder,
“Good that means, I will to have to honor to feed you, you too have the same,” he says,
“What?” Raven says but before anything else, Slade pops a pill into her open mouth, soon Raven feels the water oozing out from the pill and she drink quietly, she takes the pill from Slade. She reaches out to removes his mask slightly till she can see his mouth and she feeds the pill to him as well.
After a few quiet hours later, Raven looks up at Slade, whom is looking at her at the same time, their eyes met for a while, then Raven looks at away and suggests,
“Let's talk shall we?” Slade stays quiet,
“I will ask you a question and in return you could ask me one, what do you say?”
“Are you that curious about me, Raven?” he asks with a strong hint of sarcasm,
“I will take that as a 'Yes' then,” she replies mimicking him from earlier.
Slade has to say, this girl is wise for her age, she is the most powerful in her team but she always holds herself back, not because she is modest, he understands her fears. She is fearful of herself losing control of herself, he did consider making her as his apprentice once but that idea soon fades away.
“What make you into who you are now?” she asks, he looks at her and laughs with a booming voice,
“That's a long story,” he replies,
“If you haven't realize, we have all the time in the world,” Raven says.

As promise, here's the first chapter.
~~~~~~~~~
Dark Hearts 1
Slade looks at Raven, he believes he can trust this young sorceress his secrets, he starts put them into the right words,
“To put it simply, I took up this career for the pay, they pay real good. Sadly once you're in, you would put your love ones and yourself in danger.”
“I took up an assignment to spy on you Titans, later I found you Titans very much interesting, so a job became an obsession. I kept throwing challengers at you to make all of you stronger.”
He breathes deeply, Raven looks at him,
“I guess part of me doesn't want you kids to end up like my own, so I want you Titans to be able to defend yourselves from greater danger,” he says, pain can be hear form his voice, Raven can sense it as well.
Without even thinking, Raven then asks,
“How old are you, Slade?”
he eye at her through his metal mask,
“I remember it should be my turn to ask?” he reminds her, Raven blush, she is too eager to know more, because his emotion is different from before.
“You get to ask two question later?” He mused at her reaction and replies,
“Okay, I am not very sure myself, I lose count, I should be 28, 29 or at least. What about you?” he asks,
“20,” Raven replies, that sparks his interest even more,
“Tell more about yourself, Raven? Not your past but things like your hobby,”
“My favorite colour is blue, I will to read a lot, I like to drink tea and I like them hot, mostly I stick to myself. So do you train a lot?”
Slade feels very comfortable talking to her, he starts to slip more of his past to her,
“It's not hard to tell but I wasn't this manner. In my army days, I volunteered for a medical experiment to test out some drug that allow soldiers to resist truth serum but it turned me into what I am now.”
Slade feels that this girl really understands, unlike normal people would, she listens, she really listens when people talks to her, uncontrollably Raven reaches out to touch his mask,
“Would you like to see what's under the mask?”
“If you ain't afraid that I will inform the Titans?”
“I trust my senses that tells me you won't,” it is the truth, Slade trust her. Well of course Raven won't tell anyone, he did prevent her from becoming pancake from earlier,
“Yes, I won't tell anyone and yes, I would like to,” she says gently.
Slade slowly removes his mask, Raven studies his feature, army and his job drew years on his face but still he doesn't look half bad, his sliver white hair and blue eyes, he is somewhat handsome and even can be compared with Robin, she reaches out and touches his face, she blinks
“You body stop aging for a very long time, due to the serum experiment,” she tells him, his lip curl,
“Has it, I have yet to notice, should be my hair colour,” he replies.
“Just like mine would after a few years,” she informs him,
“That add on to the list of how alike we are,” he says, Slade then suggests,
“If we get out of this...alive, shall we continue our chat, I like talking to you,” not that Raven doesn't, she nods in agreement,
“You have my word that your friends won't be harm in anyway by me,” he says softly, Raven looks at him, she pause when she hears Cyborg's voice,
“Put on your mask,” she says.
Slade did as he was told, he looks at Raven softly, when the slab of stone is slowly being remove, he touches her face and slides out when he gets the chance, soon he escapes before Robin can reacts to it. Robin growls slightly at the sight of the vanishing Slade, he turns to Raven and helps her out,
“Did he do anything to you?” he asks, Raven frowns slightly after studying her leader's face,
“No, I'm fine, he did nothing,” she replies. Cyborg acting like their older brother, he says,
“Let's bring her home, she needs some rest,” as much as Raven hates it, she allows Cyborg to carries her and they head back to the tower.
Raven has always seen Cyborg as the elder brother she never had but this is too much, she eyes at all the medical machine, he had her hook up onto, she growls slightly in frustration. Soon Robin walks into the medical ward,
“Don't blame Cyborg, I told him to do so, how do you feel, Raven?” he asks in concern,
“Great, good enough to beat you in a speed Sudoku,” she teases. Finally a smile broke on boy wonder's face,
“Sorry I know I look very glum earlier but the moment when we found...with Slade...that manner...I...just...” Raven touches his hand,
“Slade had done nothing to me, I assure you, he was a perfect gentleman when we were trapped,” she says gently.
Robin snorts at her comment,
“Like hell, he would but I trust you, Raven,” he says, Raven frowns at the boy wonder and she asks,
“Have you ever wonder what made him did what he did?”
“Never, Raven he is a psychopath, remember what he did to you on your birthday?” he question. Poking into the memory of that day was never pleasant to her,
“That was because he was working for my father...you know what, this conversation is getting nowhere,” Raven snaps.
“That I agree, what happen to you, you talk as if you knew something,” he says, Raven lowers her head and whispers,
“I do but I can't tell.”
Soon Starfire comes into the medic bay with a small box in her hands,
“Friend Raven, there's package for you,” the Tamaranian Princess says in a cheerful voice, she flies over to Raven's side and places the package on her lap,
“It just came in for you,” Starfire adds,
“Thanks Starfire,” Raven mutters as she starts to open it. Half wondering who could it be to send her a package, the contain set her heart singing in a warm tune, the package holds a glass globe sealed inside the golden tree sap is a blooming rose. The rose is beautiful, that Robin has to agree,
“It is really wonderful gift, friend Raven...there's a note with it,” the alien princess exclaims, Raven takes the note,
I hope you like it. Keeping to our promise, shall we meet up tomorrow, 'off-duty' that is at City Park 12pm. I won't leave till I see you.
S.W.
Raven smiles at the note softly, both Starfire and Robin stare at her slightly, the dark Magus holds the note close to her,
“So who is it from, Raven?” Robin asks.
Raven looks at Robin,
“I do have friends outside the Tower, you know Robin?” she answers,
“Right...” Robin replies. Starfire looks at the two, Raven looks at Starfire,
“Could you do me a favour, Starfire?” the Goth girl asks,
“Yes friend Raven?”
“Do you feel any pain Raven?” the Boy Wonder asks in concern,
“Can you guys get Cyborg to get me out of these!” Raven demands, Robin and Starfire get out of the medic bay on the double looking for Cyborg. The half robot boy comes into the room,
“I told you, she will get piss off,” he reminds Robin, he checks on Raven once again,
“Like I told you 3 hours ago...she is fine,” Cyborg turns to
“So can I go to my room now?” Raven asks,
“Of course,” he says in a brotherly manner. He gets those machine off Raven, he elbows her gently, he whispers to her,
“Don't be harsh of bird boy, he is just worried,”
“And paranoid,” she hisses, Cyborg laughs slightly and Raven teleports back to her room, with her gift and the note.
Back in her room, Raven sets the glass globe next to her bed, she sits there and looks at it, she takes the note in gently, studying the script on the paper, she blinks. Why she is doing this...why she is acting as if a school girl in love.
What is wrong with me? He is my enemy why am I agreeing to go out with him!
Raven looks back at the rose by her bed side...everything just feel so right to her... why...
~~~
Slade looks at his hand...he touches her face before he left...why? He sits down on his arm chair as he studies his hand, he had never felt this manner before, why now. He growls and places his hand on his chest, it hurt but it feels nice as well.
