Fallen Darkly

Disclaimer: I don't own Teen Titans or anything else. With that said...I won't say it again.

Okay, this is my first Teen Titans fic so the characters might not be right at first but I'm pretty sure I've got them down. (Robin is the leader type, takes after Batman; Starfire is an older version of Bubbles; Cyborg is like Bear from Armageddon; Beast Boy is...well, Beast Boy; and Raven is dark, keeps to herself most of the time and is plainly sarcastic. Sound about right?)

Ages:

Cyborg-19

Robin-18

Starfire-17

Raven-18

Beast Boy-17

(I think the ages sound good, but if you don't, let me know.)

Summary: After a strange battle, the team slowly starts to fall apart. Beast Boy and Starfire watch with heavy hearts as their friends drift apart and Raven begins to detest her very existence. In the unhappiness, Cyborg tries to help his friends but only falls into a depression when he realizes that he isn't human. Robin threatens to go back to Gotham City and Raven disappears. (Pairings: No clue, don't bother me. I'll figure it out as I go.)

Just Another Day

"Where's the remote!?" Cyborg lifted the couch and looked underneath. Starfire watched with curious eyes as Cyborg, once again, tore up the living room insearch of the strange contraption he seemed to worship.

"There's really no sense in tearing up the entire room. It'll just be cleaned later." Raven said. He stopped for a moment to look at her like she was crazy.

"But won't Cyborg just 'tear it up' after it is cleaned again?" Starfire asked innocently. Raven slightly shrugged and went back to her meditation.

"I can't believe you lost it again, Dude." Beast Boy said.

"Either shut up or help look!" Cyborg said from under the coffee table.

"Found it!" They looked back to see Robin walking in with it. A huge smiled overtook Cyborg's face as he jumped over the couch and took the remote from Robin's hands, stroking and kissing it as he made his way back to the television.

"Where was it?" Beast Boy asked.

"Who cares!?" Cyborg cried.

"On the bar." Robin said with a smirk. Cyborg turned his head and looked into the boy wonder's masked eyes. "Where Cyborg left it yesterday."

"Well, shall we watch the television until our eyes hurt again, Friends?" Starfire asked, sitting on the couch next to the glaring Cyborg. The remote was suddenly snatched from Cyborg's hands as Beast Boy plopped down onto the sofa and began flipping channels.

"Hey!" Raven sighed and left the room, accidentally bumping into Robin on her way passed. He looked at her as she walked down the hall, not paying attention. He walked to the couch and sat down between Starfire and Cyborg who was now arguing with Beast Boy over control of the remote.

"Friends, why must you constantly fight over the control of the small device? Can you not share?" Starfire asked. Robin grinned as the arguing stopped and two sets of glaring eyes landed on the Tamaranian girl. "My apologies. Continue." The arguing started up just where it left off. Robin suddenly snatched the remote and began flipping through the channels. Both Cy and BB glared at him but said nothing. Starfire giggled slightly and watched the screen.

"Azarath metrion zinthos." Raven repeated in her meditation. She was sitting on the top of Titans Tower like she usually did when the noise became too loud to concentrate it. Her cleared mind suddenly flashed red for a moment. Her delicate brows came together. A pair of eyes flashed into her mind. She suddenly felt a power slam into her like a blow to the gut. She was knocked out of her meditation and on the flat of her back only to look straight up into Starfire's wide, emerald eyes.

"Friend, are you alright?" She asked as Raven got back to her feet.

"I'm fine." She dusted herself off and quickly went back into the tower. Star watched after her friend with a curious gaze.

She walked into the front room only to be greeted by the sounds of the boys arguing over the game they would play. It was Cy at first who caught Star's strange expression. She seemed...worried about something.

"Hey, Star, you a'right?" He asked. The other two stopped and looked back at the Tamaranian.

"Yes, but it is Raven who does not seem alright. She flew back in meditation as if taking a powerful blow." The three looked to each other then back to Starfire.

"That's strange." BB said.

"Raven doesn't usually..." Robin's sentence was cut short as Raven walked into the room, her hood down over her usually ashen face.

"Rae, everything okay?" Beast Boy asked, worry creeping into his voice.

"Why wouldn't it be?" She returned, never lifting her head as she made herself a cup of herbal tea. After her cup was made, she turned and headed back to her room.

"She seems okay." Cyborg said, looking at Starfire.

"I know what I saw. The jewel on her forehead was glowing strangely. She looked as if feared by something."

"I would appreciate if you didn't talk about me behind my back." Starfire turned as she let out a gentle cry. "I'm fine."

"But Rav..."

"I'm fine!" A chair in the kitchen suddenly exploded into millions of shards. She turned quickly and retreated back to her room.

"I'm just takin' a wild guess here, but it doesn't seem like Raven wants to talk." Beast Boy said, only to be glared at by everyone in the room. "Sorry." He said just above a whisper.

She sighed and pulled off her cloak and boots and sat on her bed, her small mirror in hand. She stared deeply into it as if trying to pry answers from her own eyes. Sighing again, she put the mirror down and looked at the opposite wall her bed. 'Who did those eyes belong to?' she asked herself. 'Where did the power surge come from?' Her thoughts were interrupted by a knock on her door.

"Raven, it is me, Starfire. I wish to speak with you. Are you alright?"

"Yes, now go away."

"What happened on the roof earlier? Do you know?"

"It is none of your concern. Leave."

"But I am concerned, Friend Raven. Please, let me speak with you. We will have 'girl time.' "

"No."

Starfire turned and walked away from Raven's door, questions swirling in her find. She was worried and didn't like the feeling. She retreated to her room and looked into her vanity mirror. 'Why will Raven not speak about it?' It hurt her inside to know that something was wrong and not being able to fix it. Something had happened to Raven in her meditation and she wanted to find out.

Author's Note: Well this was the first chapter. Hope you like it. Tell me if anything seemed off or if the personalities of the characters were out of place. I think I got them right for the most part. Writing Starfire's lines and thoughts is a lot harder than it seems. It's a good thing I can replicate their voices in my head as I write, huh? Tell my what you think and thanks for reading.
