Titans Tower, 4:30 AM...

Raven's Nightmare...

Raven was in the middle of a dark strange room. She remembered it all too well. It was the room that she was in when she brought Trigon to earth. She stared around silently wondering why she was there. Then she heard a voice.

"Welcome back" Said a dark demonic voice.

Raven tried to shield herself with her magic but could not. She could only listen in fear.

"You didn't think you could keep running from me, could you?" Asked the voice.

"Your not real" Said Raven tensely.

"Oh, I am very real, daughter"

"Your just a figment of my imagination" Said Raven calmly.

"You will bring me back again, and this time I will succeed in destroying your pitiful planet" Said the voice.

"I will never help you" Spat Raven angrily.

"'Never' is a strong word, daughter" Replied the voice calmly.

All of a sudden, an unknown force took over Raven. It walked her over to the light. Raven struggled to regain control, but found that she couldn't.

"No!" Screamed Raven.

"It is your destiny" Cackled the voice.

She struggled as she stopped in front of the light.

"No!!!!" Screeched Raven.

"Your planet will perish" Laughed the voice, wickedly.

Then everything went black.

Titans Tower, 7:00 AM...

Raven woke up abruptly. She breathed heavily trying to calm herself. Then she massaged her temples and looked next to her. Beast Boy was in deep sleep. Drool was flooding from his open mouth. Raven smiled at her boyfriend, but then her smile faded as she remembered the dream. She sighed and got out of the bed. She walked over to the closet and grabbed her cloak. After putting it on she walked to the door. She left the room and made her way to the kitchen to make herself some tea. Once she was there she got a cup and one of her tea bags. She walked over to the stove and turned it on medium. Then she waited for the water to boil. Seconds later, the door opened.

"Hey Raven" Said Robin as he walked over to get some bread for toast.

"Hi, Robin" Said Raven in her usual monotone.

"You don't look so good" Said Robin.

"Anything you wanna talk about?"

Raven stared at Robin, considering telling him.

"No, im fine" Replied Raven.

Robin looked at her for a moment and raised his eyebrow.

"Look, I know your still shaken over what happened-" Started Robin.

"No, really, I'm fine" Assured Raven impatiently.

Robin shrugged and walked over to the toaster to retrieve his breakfast. The teakettle began to whistle loudly. Raven turned the stove off and poured her tea. She walked over to the table and sat down with her tea. She sipped it and licked her lips at the pleasent taste. Robin took his attention away from the newspaper he was reading and looked at Raven.

"You sure love that stuff, don't you?" Smiled Robin.

Raven nodded silently. Robin stared at her for a minute more and then returned to his newspaper. A few awkward minutes passed and then the doors opened once more.

"Good morning, friends" Exclaimed Starfire cheerfully.

Robin smiled at his girlfriend.

"Hey Star" Said Robin.

Starfire flew over and kissed her boyfriend on the cheek.

"I'm going up to the roof" Said Raven, hinting for them not to disturb her.

She exited the kitchen and made her way towards the stairs. Once she was on the roof, she walked over to the edge of the tower and sat down.

"Why do I keep having these nightmares?" Asked Raven to noone in particular.

The Fall air was nice and cool this morning and brought a slight breeze on Raven's exposed legs.

"Maybe I should meditate" Thought Raven.

She got into her position and began to chant her mantra.

"Azareth, metrion, zinthos..." Her voice trailed away.

Meanwhile...

Beast Boy had just woken up. He looked beside him to see if Raven was still asleep. To his dissappointment, she had already woken up. His ears drooped sadly.

"Why am I always the last one up?" Asked Beast Boy to noone in particular.

He got up and walked over to the closet. He searched through it until he found his signature Doom Patrol uniform. He changed out of his pajamas and into his uniform. Then we walked out of his room to find his love.

He went out into the kitchen and saw Robin, Starfire, and Cyborg were also awake.

"Have any of you seen Raven?" Asked Beast Boy.

"Uhh, she said she was going up to the roof" Replied Robin.

"Thanks" Said Beast Boy.

He left the kitchen and made his way to the roof. As soon as he got there, he saw his girlfriend meditating on the edge. He walked over to her and sat next to her. She wasn't aware of his presence, seeing as she kept meditating.

"Azareth, metrion, zinthos...Azareth, metrion, zinthos" Chanted Raven over and over again.

Beast Boy looked at her carefully. A few minutes passed. Raven finally stopped. Beast Boy smiled.

"Good morning" Said Beast Boy cheerfully.

"Morning" Replied Raven in her monotone.

Beast Boy's smile faded.

"What's wrong, Rae?" Asked Beast Boy in a concerned manner.

"Nothing" Replied Raven, without looking at him.

"Your lieing" Stated Beast Boy.

Raven sighed.

"I had another nightmare" Said Raven.

"About what" Asked Beast Boy.

He put a comforting hand on her shoulder.

"My father" Said Raven darkly.

Beast Boy gasped. It couldn't be. Raven had taken Trigon down months ago.

"But he's dead" Said Beast Boy.

"I don't know" Sighed Raven.

"I don't know why I've been having all of these nightmares lately" Said Raven sadly.

"Your just stressed, that's all" Said Beast Boy uncertaintly.

"No, it's deeper than that...I think something bad is going to happen" Said Raven.

"But all the bad stuff already happened" Said Beast Boy.

"No, I think that was only just the beginning" Said Raven.
