I do not own the Teen Titans

This Fic is not based off of any recognizable TT arc. The characters Ian/Eagle & Falk/Falcon are my own made-up characters. Some minor hints at BB/Rae are present, but it is not intended to be, sorry. Rob/Star are a confirmed couple.)

After a hard day of fighting off the New members of the Hive. The team has settled down in the common room, in their various activities of amusement. Robin watched the world news, Starfire was cooking some god-forsaken, Tameranian, concoction in the kitchen, Raven was reading a book of short stories, and Cyborg and Beast Boy were locked in a furious competition, playing their Game Station. Everyone seemed in their own element except for one of them. Raven looked blankly at her book, it was as though she was looking through the pages onto what was really on her mind. With a loud bang from the boy's video game she was hurled back into reality.

Raven: "Must you play that mindless game so loudly? I am trying to read." She sighed and looked upset.

Cyborg turned to her and blinked, but this was just the distraction Beast Boy needed to finish Cyborg off. He blew his tank out of the park and the victory music started playing. Beast boy celebrated his first victory over Cyborg in "Turbo Tank Buster V"

Beast Boy: "WOO HOO!, I did it... I actually did it! I beat you in something on this machine!" BB proceeds to do his victory dance and went to get some sodas. Cyborg tended to his comrade.

Cyborg: "Sorry, Raven. We'll turn it down." Raven nodded her thanks, but he put his metallic hand to his chin "Haven't you ever wanted to try it? It's not as mindless as it seems. There is a lot of strategy involved. Figuring out your foe's next steps and making sure you don't leave yourself open to enemy attacks."

Raven shrugged as she closed her book and got up to leave. Just then Beast Boy came back with some sodas, still dancing away

Beast Boy: "Aw, come on Rae. Don't be such a stiff. Not everything has to be so... doom and gloom. We defeated your father, and you promised that you would live a little." BB handed Raven a soda and she looked at it blankly. She didn't drink soda, but BB was looking at her with puppy dog eyes. She sighed and put the can before her."

Raven: "I did say that I would. You are annoying, but you are right."

BB: "What harm can one can of soda and a video game do, right?" BB jarred Raven with his elbow to her side and tried to get her to lighten up, Raven sighed again and opened up the can of soda which proceeded to fizz over wildly all over her hair and face. BB gasped, Cyborg slapped his forehead, and Raven glared at BB dripping wet.

Raven: "What harm can it do, huh?

BB: "Um... it happens, heh..." BB still tried to make light of the situation, but Raven stormed out of the room. "Wait, Rae!... It's not all bad!... Look! BB proceeded to dump the rest of the can over his own head See!, now we're even!

Raven: "Just... LEAVE ME ALONE!" Raven left and the door to the rec room slammed shut behind her, she didn't need this added stress. Bless his heart for trying, but BB just couldn't ever do anything right. It was so close to that time of year. She could feel him get closer, and the dreams have already started.

Cyborg: "You just can't win with her, can you?" Cyborg put a hand to his shoulder

BB: "No... I can't" BB sighed

Cyborg: "Why don't you talk to Robin?... He and Starfire seem to be going really well."

Meanwhile Robin is tied up in a chair getting fed Starfire's infamous, Tameranian, Kuflarg Stew

BB: "No, it has nothing to do with how I do it, I am just not in her league, I'm not even a blip in her radar."

Cyborg: "Don't give up hope, she'll come around, buddy." Cyborg tried to keep it positive, he could see how he tries so hard

Meanwhile Raven prepared for a unscheduled shower, courtesy of her unfortunate luck. She ran the water exceptionally hot and let it trickle down her face and body. It always had to be this way. Anyone she let too close to her got hurt somehow. Just like when he tried to get close. Thoughts flooded her head about him. Did he remember her? Is he still looking for her? Was he even still alive? Raven slumped to the tub floor, in no real rush to get out.

Raven: "Are you still there, somewhere?... I... I am so sorry. If it wasn't for me you would be our king and our home would still exist." Raven still held a torch for her first love, but she couldn't break BB's heart. She knew her love was out there somewhere. "Oh... Ian... you gave up so much for me..." Her bottle of body wash started to glow with black energy and exploded all over her and the tub. She calmed down and continued her shower "He is coming, Ian... please find me first"

As she got out and wrapped purple towel around her hair and put on a black robe she was greeted by a knocking at her door. Surely she expected it to be Beast Boy there to apologize as he always does, and as usual she was right. His voice was submissive. She opened the door

Raven: "Yes?" she replied

BB: "Hey... Rae..."

Raven: "What is it Beast Boy?"

BB: "I didn't mean to splash you with soda"

Raven: "I know you didn't" She looked down to the ground

BB: "I'm sorry, Rae"

Raven: "I know you are"

BB: "Can you come out?"

Raven: "Not tonight, Beast Boy. I'm beat and haven't been getting much sleep. Perhaps tomorrow."

BB: "Oh..." He nodded and slunk "Ok, Rae." He left dejected, but she couldn't lead him onto anything that wasn't going to be. She made it a personal point to be a bit nicer to him the next day though.

Raven: "Goodnight" The door shut and she quickly changed into some PJs and hopped into bed with her book of spells. Dream catchers surrounded her bed "Please protect me tonight..." she pleaded, as she spoke an incantation from her book

The Titans eventually all went to bed, but Raven's night had only just begun. She stirred from under her black bed sheets. Her pulse became spastic and in her sleep she started to cry. Then she slowly and somberly talked in her sleep

Raven: "No... more..." Raven gasped and teared "...Falk... stop..."

Just then a man arrived at the Jump City power plant and his eyes grew red as blood

Falk: "Ah, my lovely, how nice to finally see you again." His loud laughter bellowed into the night air "Now to bring you to me" His hands glowed with Red energy and he slowly walked inside the door

Meanwhile back at the Titan Tower, Raven is still tossing. Her nightmare has become increasingly violent as a sweat began to form on her pale brow. A red haze began to cover her body and her Chakra twinkled. The nightmare picked up where the last one left off. Her assailant towering over her and swatting down at the younger Raven's face.

Raven: "Agh!... No... leave me alone, Falk" Her churning turned into a reenactment of the event, her position on her bed was just as it was that fateful day in Azarath before her homeland was destroyed. Her face jerked suddenly to the left as though she was being struck. This nightmare had slipped from being a state of mind to reality.

Raven: "Ian!... He won't leave me alone!..." Her lip actually started to bleed as she reached out for someone who obviously wasn't there. However her shrieking had woken up the person nearest to her, Starfire, and she entered the room in haste.

Starfire: "Friend, Raven! You are having a mare of the night!" Raven Sprung from the bed still under the nightmare and Starfire held her back. "Please friend Raven, You are acting unlogical!"

Raven fought her, but was no match for the Tameranian. Raven teared as she was watching something horrific in her nightmare.

Raven: "Ian, No!!!..." Raven crumpled to her knees as the red haze dispersed from her body. She was left awake, clutching onto Starfire, who was confused

Starfire: "Oh, dear. Raven, who is this Ian, which you speak?"

The girl stood up and composed herself, she looked grimly at the bright Tameranian.

Raven: "He has arrived to claim me... we mustn't allow him to succeed."

Starfire: "Who?... Ian?... shall we engage in combat with this person?" Star tilted her head to the side as Raven shook hers

Raven: "No, One of my many demons from before we had met has come here to end my life."

Just like that the alarms go off and the rest of the team catch up with the girls

Robin: "A mass murder is taking place at the Jump City Power plant. We must hurry!" Robin took Starfire by the hand, but she halted him

Starfire: "Wait, friend Raven has had an odd mare of the night." Raven emerged from her closet in uniform

Raven: " Never mind it Starfire, we are needed else where. I will tell you about it further, after we are through."

Robin nodded as the rest of the group joined them

Robin: Titans GO!...
