Rain. Some people hate it. They say it ruins a perfect day of sunshine and happiness. They say it brings dreariness and those disgusting worms out of the ground. Raven was not one of these people. Every time she woke up and saw rain on the window with a grey sky behind it, she adored it. As much as she can adore anything. It brings her a sense of security, a feeling of warmth, and a reason to stay inside her room all day and read.

She was in the Titans' common room, getting herself some of her herbal tea and enjoying the quiet. No one else was up and moving, so all she really heard was the rain pattering on the windows and the roof. She walked up to the window and peered out to the city. There were a few cars out from what she could tell, their headlights appearing and disappearing between the buildings and turns. She even saw what looked like a man with a newspaper over his head, running for cover under a coffee shop's awning. She smiled slightly, not because of the man's first-world suffering, but for being dry and warm inside. The door opened on the other side of the room to reveal Robin, who was known to be an early bird.

"Morning, Raven." He said softly as he walked up to the window with her. He didn't mind the rain, but didn't like it as much as his friend beside him.

"Hi, Robin." She replied in her monotone voice.

"Apparently this rain will last a while, maybe for the rest of the week." He mentioned to Raven's delight. He watched as a drop from the top of the window pane dripped down slowly, picking up speed as it touched more drops.

"Nice."

"You like the rain?"

"It's… comforting." She took a sip from her tea while staring outside.

Robin smiled and walked to the kitchen to find himself something. He noticed the kettle still had some hot water and looked for some coffee, but only found Raven's herbal tea stache and some year-old hot chocolate mix. He didn't want to think about how bad that could be for you. He opted just for some cereal. As he poured the milk, the door opened to reveal Cyborg, who looked outside and gave a disappointed face.

"Aw man, and I was gonna fix that antenna on the roof today." Like Robin, Cyborg didn't really mind the rain… except when it ruins his plans for the day.

"Morning Cy." Robin said after having a spoonful of some brand of whole-grain cereal.

"Hey, Rob." He replied, walking to the fridge to see what he was going to make for breakfast today.

"What's stopping you from fixing the antenna?" Robin asked, turning in his seat to watch Cyborg rummage through the fridge.

"Uh, lightning? Even if the weatherman says otherwise, I'm not goin' up there, on the tallest thing for miles, while made of metal." Cyborg reasoned, moving on to the pantry.

"Fair point."

Cyborg, after careful consideration, pulled out some ready-made waffle batter and a waffle iron. "Hey Rae, I'm makin' waffles, want some?"

Almost immediately, he heard "Three" from the cloaked figure by the window. That's one of Cyborg's favorite things about Raven, she makes things quick. Sometimes not easy, but quick.

At that moment, Beast Boy had walked in. "Three? Three what? Whatcha makin' Cy?" He blurted out, louder than anything else that morning. This caused Raven to sigh. It was peaceful while it lasted.

"I'm makin' waffles, Rae's gettin' some first though, so you'll have to wait your turn." Cyborg told the latest arrival.

"Awh man, ok." He sat next to Robin, looking outside. "And it's raining too! Man, this sucks!"

"Quit ya yappin' man!" Cyborg yelled over his shoulder, finishing the first waffle. "At least you're in here and not out there."

"Yeah, but it just looks sooooooo depressing out there, and it's makin' me sad too…" He held his head up with his hand, continuing to look out.

"Well, get used to it." Robin chimed in. "It's gonna be here for a while."

"Wha- really?!" Beast Boy exclaimed, dramatically throwing his arms up to display shock. "Rain sucks…" He put his head down on the countertop, frowning at the news about the weather.

Raven thought about the stuff Beast Boy said. Rain's not that depressing, is it? Sure, it makes the sky seem a lot more dreary when it's grey and not blue, and not having the sun shine can be a bit cold to the heart, but that's just looking at it in a poor way. It makes you happy in a different way. Instead of picnicking and playing catch, you play in puddles and have a warm drink inside. 'He's just looking at it wrong.' She told herself. 'Even he can have fun on a day like this.'

Finally, the last titan glided through the door into the room.

"Good morning friends!" Starfire beamed. "I hope that we can have a joyous day out-" She looked out the window. "-side…"

She sailed down to the ground, defeated. Her relationship with the rain makes Beast Boy look like a pluviophile. It particularly hurt her today, since she wanted to have some quality time with the others down in the park. The others knew this and remained quiet, unsure of what to say. She sat in the open seat next to Robin, hoping for him to comfort her.

"Oh, don't feel so bad, Star." Robin finally spoke, finishing his breakfast. "We don't need to go to the park to spend time with each other."

"Yeah." Cyborg joined in. "We can always have fun here in the tower." He finished up Raven's waffles and started on Beast Boy's.

"Yes, but it was the plan that we made. I feel sad that we must wait until the rain is over to have the fun outside." She was dejected, her somber voice conveying what she felt.

"It's all good, Star. We can go out when it's sunny next." He slid Raven's plate to the end of the counter. "Hey Raven, get ya waffles!"

Raven finally turned from the window to get her food. As she walked to sit next to Beast Boy, the waffles, syrup, and butter all were engulfed in black energy and put itself all together right in front of her, making Beast Boy jealous. For one, she could effortlessly conduct almost anything to her will. For another, she got food before he did.

"Soooooo… what can we do today?" Beast Boy wondered out loud. "I mean, if we're gonna do stuff together today, we can't all play video games."

"We could watch some movies?" Robin suggested. "There's that new superhero movie on demand now."

"Nah, man. If were watchin' a movie, it should be a sci-fi one. We haven't seen one of those in a while!" Cyborg interjected, making more waffles for himself and Beast Boy.

"Buuuut it's gotta be a funny one! We need to be cheered up, and a comedy is totes the way to go!" Beast Boy argued, but was immediately shot down by a "No." next to him.

"If I have to hear any more terrible jokes from another off-brand movie, I might break the TV." Raven stated simply, to Beast Boy's dismay. He gave a face of defeat and looked over to Starfire.

"Say, Star? You've been quiet, whatcha wanna do?"

"Well, I was thinking, maybe we could do the playing of a game?"

Beast Boy gasped. "Like maybe a-" He stopped to see Robin, Cyborg, and Raven all staring at him with varying levels of disdain. They knew what he was going to say, and if he did, they all would have to go through hours of torture, pain, and the potential destruction of friendships.

And with an sly grin, he uttered the words, "...board game?"
