"Talking"

Titans Tower

It was an ordinary day at Titans Tower. Raven was reading another one of her many books. Robin in the training room training. Starfire was cheering on both Beastboy and Cyborg, who were playing video games. Robin came out of the training room only to get some water. He stayed to watch the guys play video games. Starfire looked at him for one minute, then went back to cheering for the boys. The door bell rang, and only Robin and Raven acknowledge it. Raven put her book down and walked to the door. She was greeted by the mail man. He gave her the mail and a package said goodbye and left. She looked through the mail to find bills and fan letters. When she came across the package however, she paused as she saw her own name. She dropped of the bills to Robin and then sat down and started to open her package. When it was fully opened, she was shocked to see things from her childhood.

"Hey, Dark Girl what's in your package?" Cyborg said bringing Raven out of her trance. She looked over and noticed they were watching her, while trying to see what was inside her package.

"Nothing important." Raven replied in her usual monotone voice.

"Ok, then what was in it Rae." Robin said in his famous leader tone.

"It's personal belongings if you must know. And no you can't see them." Raven replied icily while glaring.

"Come on Raven we want to know more about your past." Beastboy complained. "You never tell us anything about it!"

"You already know about Trigon. That's all you need to know. The other part is more cherished to me. So I don't want nor do I have to talk about it." Raven snapped.

"Friend Raven why don't you wish to share your past with us." Starfire asked innocently.

"Because I don't. I'm not the only one either Robin has never told us his past, or Cyborg, or Beastboy. What I don't understand is why my head is getting chewed out when I'm not the only one!" Raven exclaimed before grabbing her package and leaving the room. The reat of the Titans looked at each other guiltily. They knew that they shouldn't have pressured her on something they all didn't like to talk about.

With Raven in her room

When Raven got to her room she opened the package full of her childhood. Her books, toys, and her favorite part the pictures. Her favorite picture that was in the box, was the one with her and her brother they were hugging. He was what she missed the most in her childhood. He helped her with everything she had to do. He went missing after Trigon destroyed Azarath. She cried for her mother and brother to be alive somewhere, but that was long ago. She had learned to forget about it. The Titans replaced them in a way, but they only filled the hole in her heart particially. She wished she could see her brother at the very least, just one more time. After looking at the items over again, she reluctantly went to make a cup of tea.

Back in the main room

Raven walked in to find all the Titans sulking. She ignored them and continued on to make her tea. While it was boiling she grabbed her long forgotten book and started to read while she waited. The other titans finally noticed her presence and walked over. She had noticed them walking over, but ignored them.

"Um Raven. We just wanted to apologize for our behavior earlier. We're sorry. We just wanted to learn more about your past." Robin said and the others nodded in agreement. Raven read their emotions to see if that was true. After she confirmed they weren't lying, she went to fix her tea.

"Hmmm I don't know you emotions just scream that your not sorry at all." She said. "I might as well have some fun before I forgive them." She thought.

"We truly are sorry friend Raven please forgive us." Starfire said with a puppy dog face.

"Dude how can you say that?" Beastboy said.

"Come on baby sis we'll do anything." Cyborg pleaded. This caught her attention.

"Anything?" Raven asked with an evil glint in her eyes.

"Anything," the others said at the same time.

"So then Beastboy will do all my chores for the next three months right?" She asked innocently.

"Yeah, he'll do it." Robin, Stafire and Cyborg said before Beastboy could disagree.

"Ok, now I forgive you" Raven said lightly. After she said that a white light filled the room and a person came out. He looked around as if he didn't know where he was. He looked at the group, his eyes stopping once he reached Raven. It took Raven one minute to realize who he was. She could only say one thing, "Falcon?"

Review, let me know if I missed something that was incorrect.
