I do not own the Teen Titans or any characters. If I did, it would still be on air.

Raven was in her room. She was almost always in her room. She didn't mind coming out sometimes, but she tried to stay away from people most of the time. She had an image to uphold. She was dark, uncaring, closed-off, and anti-social. If people knew some of the things she thought about, they would never let her live it down. Lately she had been almost willingly going to the mall with Starfire. And last week she had voluntarily helped Cyborg with the T-car. She remembered how closed off she use to be and how hopeless she saw the prophecy. She didn't see any way around it, But her friends had helped her through it and she had defeated her father. After her father was gone his grip on her loosened. She could feel now but decided not to let anyone else know that. She still meditated every day just like normal. Whenever someone asked her why she stayed in her room, she just told them she needed to meditate. That was sometimes true, but not always. Sometimes she just needed to be alone to think about her feelings for one of her close friends. She had noticed that she had been glancing at them then quickly looking away. She could add that to the list. She could feel to some extent without bringing the tower down on top of them. Just wait until someone found that out. Raven could feel. She realized that she couldn't keep up this façade forever. Someday someone would find out that she was not all doom and gloom. And when they did, when everyone did, she didn't know what she would do.
