Raven8: Hey everyone! This is my first story ever. It might not be that good though I have seen every single Teen Titans episode more than once. I know most of the characters very well and some I still can't seem to get to know their personality. The first chapter is absolutely boring, but most interesting things need to be explained like this anyway. Oh well, on with this story!

Disclaimer: I don't own the titans. There, so don't ask me a million questions about it….

The Past is Best Forgotten

By Raven8

Chapter 1: The Morning Routine

Personal Introduction(Raven)

Most people don't even know who I am outside of Jump City. Yeah, so Batman knows about Robin and his team and that's outside of the city, but he is mostly the only one who even cares about knowing about the underage superhero team, the Teen Titans. This team has become more of a family than I'll ever need and I cherish my friends above all other things. It's just too bad I can't show it very much…

It was like most days at the tower. Beast Boy and Cyborg would be having their daily quarrel over whether to eat tofu or meat for breakfast. Starfire would be asking Robin an enormous amount of questions about earth and its customs and he would slowly repeat each answer for her plenty of times. Raven would most likely be meditating or trying to finish her breakfast before the fight would get to heated.

"Tofu!!!" Beast Boy cried.

"Why little man, would I want to eat that soy bean junk. Its absolute trash!" Cyborg shot back. "Meat is good for you!"

"How can it be when I am those animals? You could be eating one of my friend."

"Yo, we're havin' bacon and that is final. Too bad for you, ha!" Cyborg smiled.

"Nooooooooooo! You can't do that! You can't just go eating some poor defenseless creature."

And yes, the fight kept going on and Raven ran out of the kitchen to the roof, getting ready to meditate. As she was walking down the halls she thoght What immature pinheads. Everyday it was the same routine. Did anything ever change? Raven knew the past could not be, but maybe her future. If she just didn't have Trigon the Terrible as a father, she believed she would be perfectly fine and NORMAL, just like every other teenager. Oh how she wished for that. But, it would never come true, that's how much she knew.

Just earlier Raven had opened up her book of fortune telling that was written in a language few knew and she had desperately wanted to know that she would have a good future and maybe she would destroy her father. Yeah right Raven told herself. I'll probably become his evil avatar one of these days, but for now I must trust that I can defeat him. If I'm able to gather my emotions in time without the others backing me up, maybe I would have a chance at defeating him once and for all. This could also help my friends out. They won't even have to worry about me. Maybe I should practice this.

With that, she came onto the roof to feel the rush of the morning wind on her face, blowing her violet hair all over her face. Her long blue cloak whipped at her ankles and she drew it closer to herself. She sat indian style on the ground and rose in the air.

"Azarath, Metrion, Zinthos. Azarath, Metrion, Zinthos. Azarath, Metrion, Zin-" She felt someone come up on the roof.

" Oh hello friend Raven! I have sucessfully found you!" she heard Starfire screech with delight and Raven opened her eyes and saw her smile her 100 watt smile and walk over to her. She grasped Raven into a tight hug that was so strong that when Starfire finally let go, Raven felt numb all over.

"Hello Starfire. Why have you come to bother me when I am in the middle of meditation? You know I do not like to be bothered. I hope you have a good reason."

"I was wanting to know if you would want to journey to the mall of shopping with me to buy gifts for our friend as well for us too. Do you wish to come??"

"I will see Starfire, but for now I must finish meditating. Go on and do something else for awhile. I will get back to you with an answer. Good bye!"

Starfire zoomed back into the tower and Raven assumed meditative position and began to chant again. What would Starfire possibly want to examine at the mall? Probably the latest fashion or something. Raven soon just let herself wander deep into her mind, letting the world around her fade away into nothing……

Raven8:Well anyway, that was my first chapter. Typical right? It will get better, I promise. Don't expect me to jump into the action so fast. Please review! I would like to know how I did as a newbie! I'll answer as much reviews as I can, trust me!
