The Exorcism of Richard Grayson AKA Robin

OK, I'm trying this idea out, I thought it was a great idea, something new and original to this section. Something real deep and dark; something perfect for the birds.

Disclaimer: I do not own the TT

Chapter 1

It was a beautiful summer day, and the titans were all out on the beach outside the tower. Beast Boy, Cyborg, Speedy and Aqualad were playing beach volleyball, Mas y Menos were building a sand castle with Bumble Bee, Robin and Starfire were playing in the ocean, and Raven was relaxing on a sun lounger, reading a best seller while giving a shot at tanning.

These past months everything seemed to be going really slowly. Both Steel and Jump City were very quiet, giving the heroes so much time to themselves, they discovered the meaning of boredom. There was only so much training they could do before they got bored, well that's what BB seemed to think.

Robin was on top of his game, always the first one up and ready to go. Being the leader meant it was his job to keep the team on their toes. Their training was up to scratch, yet the sheer heat and boredom seemed to be bothering the team, when they weren't doing something constructive.

There was only so many times you could go out to dance parties before they became boring, there was only so many times the mall could be visited before you were flat broke, and there were times that even the Game Station would get boring. To pass time the team seemed to train more, but even then the challenge that it presented would become less of a challenge each time you take the course.

With the team having more and more time on their hands, they seemed to socialize with each other a bit more. Robin became intimate with Starfire; the two had begun dating a few weeks after the boredom rush. Cyborg and Bumble Bee had also begun dating. Speedy was dating a young girl from Jump City. Aqualad was doing voluntary work at the local aquarium, BB at the local zoo, and Raven had begun a part time job at a bookstore.

All the shouting and screaming came to a halt when the Titan alarm went off. It took the titans a few moments to realize what it meant. They all sprinted for the tower, with the exception of Raven. Her body became enveloped in darkness and her cloak and leotard materialized over her body, she then once again became black energy and melted in the ground to materialize in the living room. The big screen was covered in an image of a riot in Jump City. This scene shocked the Titans, but they jumped up and went on their way to bring peace back to the City.

When they arrived the city was a total disaster, shops being robbed, cars being wrecked, people fighting the police. It was total chaos. The titans jumped in, a bit unsure as to what they were supposed to do. These were the citizens they vowed to protect as long as they were titans, now they were up against them.

The only titans that were doing a good job of restraining the crowd were Mas y Menos, they were running around the crowd, restraining the citizens from moving, it worked till they were tripped and lost contact then became trampled by the large crowd. The other titan was Raven. With the help of her telekinesis she managed to spread out the crowd without hurting them. But the crowd just wouldn't give up and the ice queen lost her cool.

A huge raven materialized from behind her back, scaring the crowd and making them cower back in fear. The citizens seemed to know that their beloved titans wouldn't harm them so the rest of the titans failed to assist the police force at all. Whereas Raven was a total dark horse to them, and her dark nature naturally made them fear her. The crowd seemed to give in and they first began walking home, and the walk became a run. Within a few hours, order was restored and the titans could return home.

"That was not of the usual behaviour of the people of Jump City" Star commented.

"Nothing gets past you does it?" Raven retorted.

Starfire seemed to blush, taking Raven's sarcasm as a compliment.

"What is the reason for the riot?" Robin asked the other titans.

"It's got to do with the new mayor" Cyborg commented.

"Obviously nobody likes him, but he is still the mayor." Beast Boy nicely noted the facts that everyone else was highly aware of.

"This whole debate over the mayor has being going on since he was elected. If nobody likes him and he is mayor, don't you think that there is something up?" Cyborg asked slowly already knowing the answer.

"Probably" Robin stated.

"Well then shouldn't we do something about it?" Beast Boy asked.

"Beast Boy is right, it stopped being about politics a while ago" Cyborg said.

"Well then we need evidence" Robin said.

"Something tells me that it's not the mayor…" Raven began but trailed of.

Her words seemed to make the entire team stop dead in their tracks; they all turned to look at her.

"What are you getting at?" Robin asked frowning.

"It's nothing, never mind." Raven said quickly before getting into the car. Titans East then left and went back to Steel City.

There was a rap at the door and Robin's voice echoed into Raven's room.

"Hey, when we got home you kind of ran to your room and locked the door. Anything you wanna talk about?"

Raven opened her door and just looked at him. Robin felt a bit on edge, as her amethyst eyes examined him. She stood to the side and allowed him entrance to the darkened den. Robin cautiously stepped into the black ambient room. Her room was decorated very accordingly, as it reflected her nature. Robin turned to Raven and cut straight to the point, "What were you getting at earlier on?" he asked in his leader like tone.

"I don't know how to explain this to you Robin, but there was something out there, something that wasn't supposed to be there."

"What exactly was this something? Do you know?"

"I think so"

Robin was silent waiting for Raven to continue. Agitatedly Raven began fidgeting with her cloak, and then tidying her already spotless room. Robin sensed the tension pour from her, whatever this was; it was taking a drastic toll on Raven.

"I have to go Robin" she finally said.

"What's going on Raven? What aren't you telling me?" Robin asked confused.

"I can't explain, I just need to leave. I can't stay here anymore." Raven said before summoning a bag with her powers and began emptying her drawers at lightning speed.

"This doesn't make any sense"

"Sometimes ignorance is bliss" Raven said softly, before her body became black energy and she floated up into the roof before disappearing from the tower. Robin stood on the spot for a few minutes trying to process and make some sort of sense of the situation, but he knew just as much as the next guy.

Well thats the first chapter of this new idea, nothing might make sense now, but it'll all come together further into the story.
