This is the first chapter...the others will be at least three pages, this one is one page long. Sorry about that. I do not own the teen titans although I have sighted them on several occaisions, rockin' out with elvis...
The rooftop was cold, the midnight air was about three degrees warmer but the amethyst eyed girl lay upon the roof, impassive gaze not belying the fact that she was freezing. The end of the world had come and passed, the world was saved, and petty crimes no doubt would rise up in a few days. The girl did not hear the roof door open, did not hear the tiptoeing footsteps and did not hear a green and red clad Boy Wonder come to settle beside her laying form. Only the touch of his gloved hand to hers alerted her to the presence of her most trusted teammate.
"Yes?" her voice was strained but otherwise unexpressive. A pained expression would have been seen in the team leader's eyes had the thin strip of rubber not been covering the upper half of his face. He wondered why she still acted as though they always had to have a reason for speaking to her, that they wouldn't just need the calming feeling of her presence.
"Quite a day…" he mused, and she sat up, pushing strands of dark hair behind her ears. The were stubborn and fell back before her face, Raven made no move to pursue them further.
"Yes." She used the same word she had greeted him with, limiting the conversation greatly. Her hand was pulled from his reach and she examined it, as though it were scalded.
"Are you okay?" He persisted, knowing that she did not want to speak. She could have done anything. Could have flown from the building, could have stood and walked back downstairs, could have phased through the floor directly into her own room. Instead, Raven surveyed him and clicked her tongue uncomfortably.
"Fine." She answered and stood, brushing off her cloak. "Well, its late…very late I think I'm-"Robin stood as well and began to speak.
"Its over, Raven. Over. He's gone." Robin said, a look of pity on her face. Raven wanted to hit him. Pity…pity was the only emotion she never wanted to evoke in someone.
"Stop…saying…that." He had said it since they had arrived home. Whatever Trigon was, she wouldn't be alive without him, wouldn't have met the Titans. His existence was bittersweet. Her voice quavered slightly as she spoke.
"Raven, he can't do anything to hurt you any-" Robin was surprised when she gave a shriek.
"Stop!" she screamed, a wave of telekinetic energy pushing him away from her. She was horrified to notice that a type of fear could be seen in his expression. Fear of her. "Because whatever I do…I destruct." She murmured inaudibly before taking flight. She raised her voice to inform Robin-"I'll be back in a bit…don't wait up."
