Prologue: The Message
Raven was sitting and waiting in meditation. Something was wrong, she could sense it. She didn't know what it was, then the alarm sounded. Raven came out of her concentration and headed to the main room of the Tower.
When she got there Robin was already talking. "…And we got this weird alien message last night and I called you all here to see if any of you could make anything out of it." he spoke swiftly.
With a push of a button the message boomed over the large speaker, "Help us, help us…being…attacked!" The static message spoke like it had been spoken through deep breaths. Raven knew that voice, the woman had that soft love in her desperate voice.
Beast boy had been noticing Raven staring into lala land and decided to interrupt. "Hello, Earth to Raven…snap snap"
By that time Raven had already broke her trance and was staring at everyone, sort of embarrassed. "We have to help them. They wouldn't have pleaded for help. They're not the Come save us we're helpless babies type."
Cyborg in confusion asks, "Raven, what are you talking about!"
"What do you mean what am I talking about? I'm talking about Azerath. The message… it was sent from Azerath, asking, no begging for help."
Starfire, knowing about Azerath (b/c of "Switched") was stunned.
Robin looked at Raven and said in a solemn voice, "Looks like your heading home."
