"Are you ready for your first day of school?" The familiar voice rang in the teenager's ears as she ate her fiber filled cereal. The teenager glanced up slightly from the dining room table, where she rarely ever ate meals, to see a woman that looked nothing like her. The teenager had a gray like complexion with dark purple hair with purple eyes to match (both of them natural.) The woman, however, was fairly tanned with dark brown hair and blue eyes that always seemed to be smiling even during the worse times. They were by no means related, but the woman was an old friend of the girl's mother. The mother trusted her to care for her daughter even if she didn't feel like she needed anyone to care for her.

"Raven?" The woman said the girl's name, annoying her a little bit.

The teenager was grateful of course, but she was always dreading the fact that she had a guardian. It just seemed...dangerous. And she had caused enough danger for anyone around her. Yet despite all that, the woman stayed with a smile on her face and even homeschooled Raven for the last few years. But now, Raven had to go to a real school. A secret school for 'special' people like her.

Raven didn't know if that scared her more of not.

"No. But I know I have to go.." Raven said quietly as she lifted the spoon that held both grains of cereal and milk then put it into her mouth. She chewed it silently before swallowing it and placing her spoon into her almost empty bowl, only containing a small puddle of milk with some of the cereal crumbs remaining in it. Raven wasn't going to eat that so she just pushed the bowl a little bit away from her as she leaned back in her chair. She closed her eyes softly for a moment before opening them again and pushing herself off of the chair.

"Thank you for the food." Raven told the woman politely yet with a lack of emotion. The purplenette started walking over to the door where her black bag stood, leaning against the wall of the house. She swiftly picked the bag up and threw it over one shoulder,the other one empty as the purple cloak she wore covered it. She quickly put her hood on, the hood only covering her eyes while the rest of her face was still revealed.

But she only needed her eyes to be covered anyways. Her eyes were what showed what truly laid inside of her.

She put her hand on the door knob and turned it lightly before opening it and walking out.

"Goodbye." was the last thing her motherlike figure said, but Raven didn't reply. Instead she just closed the door and kept walking.

This is going to be hell...


"Oh no..." A small green man mumbled as he walked into the door of the large school he had gotten used to. Used to was the key word, that did not mean that he liked it. How could he like it? Just because it happened to be super cooler than other schools didn't mean it was any better. It was school for pete's sake! It didn't matter what school it was because school was just sucky in general. Learning? Bah, who needs it. He could change into animals! Did he really need to know what type of cells were in plants? Like how would that benefit him in any way?

"Heyy Beasty." A familiar voice said from behind the green man, the owner of the voice wrapping his metallic arm around Beast Boy's shoulders. He didn't mind it though, it was nice to see a friend in this unfriendly place. School...

"Hey man." Beast Boy replied, looking over to see his half machine and half human best friend. He looked more excited to be at school then Beast Boy did though.

"You excited? I heard there's a new advanced Robotics class. Maybe I'll actually learn something time." Cyborg exclaimed with a slight grin of excitement at the mention of the Robotics class. Last year's Robotics class was lame for the man, since he already knew everything there was. Well of course it was easy for him to learn Robotics, he WAS half robot after all.

"Am I ever excited?" Beast Boy answered in a snarky tone and slumped his shoulders, showing his answer to Cyborg. The metallic boy frowned a bit then just gave Beast Boy a pat on the back as if trying to reassure him, instead it just end up hurting the poor boy and making him fall forward.

"Owww dude!" Beast Boy groaned, face first on the ground with his butt in the air. He let out another groan as he rubbed his butt before putting his hands on the ground and pushing himself into a more tactical sitting position. He looked up at Cyborg with a light annoyed expression, but the metal man just shrugged sheepishly, obviously having forgotten his own strength.

Sighing, Beast Boy stood up to walk beside Cyborg again, the green boy exceptionally shorter than his friend. Which his friend liked to point out a lot, luckily he didn't seem to be doing it today. He was probably too excited for school. Nerd.

Cyborg snorted as he started to walk again, Beast Boy soon followed beside him even after some more grumbling. As the two walked, another person came in from behind them then walking to beside them. The familiar boy gave them a light wave before running the same hand through his spiky black hair. He had a little smile on his face, which was partially covered by an eye mask since he wasn't so keen about sharing his identity. Which was a bit odd since he was a normal human, just with more special abilities than average. Still with no powers though.

"Hey Robin." Cyborg said to the spiky haired man, giving him a cheesy little grin.

Robin smirked a little at the grin then smiled back, "Oh hey, did you guys hear?"

"Oh? Hear what?" Cyborg questioned as Beast Boy's ears perked up too, obviously intrigued.

"We're getting a few new students. I saw one of them and she's an alien! Also really pretty." Robin stated, getting a bit quiet on the last part but not quiet enough since the other two boys heard and smirked a little. Neither of them said anything though since they were actually both pretty interested in the first part.

"New students? No way, we don't get NEW students." Beast Boy exclaimed first before Cyborg piped up.

"Do they all have powers? I hope they do, non powered people are LAME." Cyborg stated then gave another smirk over at Robin who just gave him a short glare back since he was powerless.

"Whatever, I just know at least one of them's an alien." Robin repeated himself, showing a sudden interest in the woman but trying not to make it too obvious. He was bad at it.

"Yeah. Got that." Cyborg said, "Anyways, I wonder what they're like."

Beast Boy grinned a little,"Hopefully hot chicks."

"One of them at least.." Robin said again, much more quieter this time so that only Beast Boy didn't hear.

"Well either way I'm sure it'll be interesting.." Cyborg mumbled, "Hopefully more interesting than last year.."

Then they heard the explosion.
