Hi ppl! I sort of forgot my e-mail address and password, so instead of being RockPunx I'm silentXtearsXforgottenXhopes and I won't be able to continue Dark Hidden Secrets until I can recover my e-mail and password. I do hope you will forgive me.

I also must state that I don't own the teen titans... (DAMN!!!)... :'(

-----------------------------------------------------------------

"Hello? Is anyone home? I've returned! If anyone is even here..." she stopped, realizing no one was there, or so at least she thought. Raven opened the door with her old set of house keys and dropped her bags. She tried to find that damn light switch because she was getting tired of tripping and stumbling over the many various unseen objects.

It had been a few months since the Titans have had any trouble, so the Titans broke up. They all went their separate ways; lead separate lives and basically never did anything together again. That is until now. It had been five years since they were last together as a whole group.

"I'm coming in. I got some paint from Home Depot! And."

'Why talk when no ones listening? Duh! You numbskull! You're almost as bad as BB. AH! Don't even think about that! I will never be like him! Well at least hopefully not. He's too... um... never mind. I wonder if...'

"Whose there before I have to whoop yo ass?" a deep voice said from the shadows of the T Tower. She just realized how dark it had been when she tried to see the man who spoke. She stood still and thought for a moment. His voice seemed to be familiar, but she couldn't put a finger on who it was. It definitely wasn't Star. Not BB. He would be trying to tell a joke or play a prank on her, she knew. Maybe Robin? Doubt it. The tone of voice had been different than his.

"Cy?" she questioned the unknown man that hid within the shadows of her old home. A dark figure that looked to be muscular moved towards her. Within mere seconds she easily concluded it was a male... probably two or three years older than her. The outline of this man was rather puzzling to her though. This person looked to be smooth on one half of himself, like a human, yet something about him wasn't right. The other half of this figures outline was rigid, as if part of something else. Slowly, the mysterious man inched closer. Then, for some reason, he just stopped. The huge figure that looked to be about 6ft. 2in. had come to a complete halt. For a few minutes they just stood there in the dark, not saying a word. Then the man came one step closer.

"Rae? Can it possibly be you?" the man asked.

"I asked first." as she said this the lights came on and she saw Cys hand on a light switch. He had on a smile that had to be a foot wide at least. He let go of the switch and rushed over to give her an overwhelming bear hug that was starting to suffocate her.

"Wow! I guess you're happy to see me? Judging by how tight you're hugging me, how much I can't breathe and how you haven't stopped and it's been over a minute, I'll say that's a 'yes'?"

"Yes Rae! So much. You wouldn't believe how lonely this place can get if you're the only one in it. By the way BB called and said he'd be over later. He said to prepare the PS2 'cause he's 'gonna kick my ass this time'. He'll be over in an hour or two. It's gonna be like a reunion man! Can you believe it?!"

"Oh goody!" Raven silently commented sarcastically, but Cy overheard her remark and just rolled his eyes. Both of them were excited, although Raven didn't show it, and couldn't wait to be reunited with the others.

As Raven grabbed her bags she admired the nice job that Cyborg had done on the tower. It looked great! No messes, amazingly. For the first time in so many, many years the Titan Tower was CLEAN! It looked like he vacuumed, dusted, the fridge was restocked, and it looked as if he had bought a few new things (in the living room there was another couch and love seat). She went up the stairs to her room and quickly unpacked as fast as she could, knowing that Cy was downstairs waiting to catch up with her on things...

Raven continued unpacking, using her abilities to mentally put things away was a hell of a lot quicker than unpacking one thing at a time, trying to figure out what goes where. After that mess was put away, she got distracted from her goal of catching up with Cy and opened the paint she had bought. She started painting her room speedily. Making sure that she hadn't missed any spots she did a second coat (it was the super quick dry paint).

She stood at her doorway and admired the new look. It was finally starting to shape up after three hours! Black walls, a dark purple ceiling, and the floor were still that dark shade of purple as before. 'Nice' she thought to herself, then looked at her bed. Another change was in need, so she went right to work. Instead of the medium purple bed set and a normal bed, she wanted a whole new look. Something a bit darker to fit her mood and style.

'Hmmm. Maybe a canopy? Yeah! Purple? Nah. Black will do just fine. I think I'll also go with a black bed set... and maybe a few white and dark purple pillows. Now as for the old bed set... I'll give it to Star. She badly needs to replace that pink crap in her room. It gives me the creeps just thinking about it.'

At the Titan Towers entrance

The doorbell rang as a tired Cy, who had been cleaning all of the week before, yelled out "Yo? Whose there? I aint gettin up off my lazy ass if this is not important, whoever you are. You heard me!"

Just then the door opened up and much to Cys surprise it was another Titan. There stood a man with gelled back medium green hair, dark green eyes and a goatee. The man was pretty tall from the looks of it and didn't have too much of a build, not to mention his skin had a green tint to it. His outfit was fairly simple. Dark loose blue jeans, a loose dark green shirt that had 'Gars Bar' in big black print on it, a few chains on his jeans, and black sneakers. He smiled at Cy the same way he used to... with that one tooth sticking out. It was the smile that every one of the Titans knew and learned to love within the first few months they were together.

BB went directly into the living room to chat and sat down in the love seat. When he reached the love seat and sat down the doorbell rang. BB jumped up in complete excitement and went over to answer it.

Back in Ravens Room

She finally decided, after four hours, it was time to take a break. She looked at her awesome new place to stay and she gave out a long, heavy sigh. She knew that it was finally finished! Thank goodness had the type of powers she possessed, otherwise it would've taken even longer.

'Shit! Today's the reunion! I haven't said hello to anyone or even come out since I greeted Cy at the doorway. I'm so screwed. They probably all hate me. Damn! I had a chance to start over after five years and I fucked it up! I just had to get my room out of the way. I have so many things to do, but it seems like I won't have enough time. I hope Ro.'

She stopped herself in the middle of her thought because of what she might've thought next. Unfortunately this was not the first time she had thought of him. She often let her mind wander off, especially when her thoughts had to do with him. She loved everything about him from his good looks to his charming personality. She was attracted to his spiked up jet black hair, his mysterious mask that blocked his eyes, his thin waist, his sense of justice, the way he laughed, his determination, his leadership skills, his agility, his speed, his strength and much more. There was so much to this boy, but she could never really admit it... at least until now. During this reunion one thing she'd plan to do was tell him how she really feels. Star had always liked Robin, but not like her. Star had also been flirting with him and had several times showed her affection. No. This was more than just a crush for Raven, this was love. She sighed and imagined him standing in his usual battle stance, like he used to. His passion for fighting and keeping peace was so strong and he always looked so detirmined in battle.

Just then a voice broke her thoughts "Rae? Look. I know you really hate it when I bother you, but really?! Do you always have to lock yourself up in there? Even after all these years you think you are the outsider. You don't understand though... you're not. We all miss you, so please come out of there."

"BB?" she asked, now totally puzzled and utterly confused. "Yea Rae?"

" Well the first thing is don't worry about me. I can take care of myself just fine. Also, I wasn't locking myself up here for that. I was re-doing my room. I wanted a more mature, dark sort of look. So I spent all of my time here so far working hard on this project instead of being with you guys. I'll be out in a little bit." Outside of her door, in the hallway, BB sweat-dropped as he found out she wasn't keeping herself locked in there. He put his head down sadly and slowly walked downstairs to the living room to tell the others what was going on with Rae.

"My friend Raven, she will be fine? Correct?" The guys looked up at her in shock. BB had just explained everything that had happened seriously and maturely, making a complete ass of him, and she didn't catch on to one bit of it. Meanwhile Cy was cracking up." She'll be fine Star. She's just finishing up. She said she'd be down in a little bit." BB answered, admiring Stars new look. She had very uncommon features that he missed seeing everyday like he did back then. Her beautiful red hair that went down to her small waist and her skin was tanned. BB then noticed her green eyes that seemed to glisten in the light coming from the windows. The purple tube top and mini skirt she wore hugged all the right curves and she looked like she was in wonderful shape. He also noticed she got a tattoo of a butterfly on her back that showed because of her revealing outfit and cleavage.

"Star?" Beat Boy said quietly so that Cyborg hopefully wouldn't hear. "Yes friend Beast Boy... do you wish to ask something of me?" Beast Boy spoke in a low mature voice and replied "You really look... pretty. Is it possible that I can go on a... um... never mind." He lowered his head in embarrassment and blushed a deep shade of red then said under his breath "You probably still have feelings for the boy wonder."

Star looked at him, confused and oblivious to what he had just said.

In Ravens Room

'Now that I've meditated and my rooms done, what can I do? I guess I should go down and see my old teammates. They defiantly did grow on me while I was here fighting beside them. It's too bad I was the first titan to leave the group.' she thought, starting to get depressed as she always is.

She locked her door, and got changed out of the painted on clothes she wore before. She quickly fixed up her hair so it was in a ponytail and then put a little bit of clear glossy vanilla lip-gloss on. Lavender perfume was the last touch-up and she left her room. Walking slowly to stairs she knew there would be many questions, comments, and opinions that the others would say to her. When she began to take the first step down, she hoped that he would be there. Waiting for their criticism, she walked down stairs...
