No one could believe it, apparently nor could Raven. Slade's plan had been trashed, and the Titans had been able to reanimate Terra from her statue. Beastboy was thrilled that she was back, and the other Titans were also happy that they got their long lost teammate back. Well, everyone except our very own Raven.

After Terra returned, Beastboy had begged the other titans to except her again, and the Titans had reluctantly agreed. At least most of them had agreed. Raven still had her doubts about Terra, but wasn't able to say anything, and indeed didn't want to, when the other Titans agreed to let her come back.

Raven's doubt had been cleared up and proved when Terra returned. Raven and Beastboy had been getting along smoothly and actually started liking each other more, until Terra returned. Then, Beastboy completely left Raven, and turned all of his attention and jokes to Terra. Raven used to miss this a lot, so much so that one day she cried herself to sleep.

At the moment, the common room was banging with music, and everyone was dancing and having a good time, except Raven. She was sitting on the couch reading a book, or trying to read as the music got louder and the Titans shouted and laughed.

Raven looked up from her book in annoyance, and saw Terra chasing Beastboy in circles around the couch. Her eyes narrowed at them, just as Terra pinned Beastboy to the ground, and both of them burst into laughter.

After a few moments, which seemed like years and months to Raven, they got up again, holding onto each other for support as they tried to stop laughing.

"What's for breakfast?" Beastboy yelled over the loud music, turning to Cyborg who was cooking in the kitchen part of the room.

Cyborg waved a pan at him, reaching out and lowering the music as he replied, "Eggs and Bacon," he looked thoughtful before adding decidedly, "Real eggs and bacon,"

Beastboy scowled, "Hey, no tofu?" he grumbled, walking to the fridge to look for his precious tofu. Terra followed him, close on his heels, letting out an a giggle every now and then. A giggle that echoed in Raven's ear and sounded obnoxious.

Beastboy had noticed that Terra had been a bit clingy to him lately, but he never did anything about it, liking the attention from his old friend. He had in fact, also noticed that she had been a little rude to Raven too, but shrugged it off. He knew that ever since Terra came back, he and Raven had been very distant, but he tried not to let it affect him.

"Breath, focus," Raven repeated under her breath, shutting her eyes tightly, "Contentrate," she added more forcefully, pressing her fingers together hard.

"Friend Raven, are you alright?"

Raven started, and opened an eye to see Starfire sit down next to her and put a hand on her knee.

"I'm fin-"Raven started, but was cut off by a light bulb breaking from her emotions.

"I do not belive you are the 'fine,'" Starfire objected, scooting closer to Raven, "Please tell me,"

Raven opened her mouth to reply, but her voice trailed off when she saw Terra walk in front of her, holding a slice of cake to Raven's face, "Want some?" she asked, pushing it forward.

It took all of Raven's patience and power to keep calm, "No thank you," she replied, turning back to Starfire.

"You sure, it's good," Terra persisted, pushing it forward. Raven backed away, "Positive," she replied, turning back to Starfire who giggled involuntarily.

Terra shrugged and took the fork and cut out a chunk for herself, pushing it into her mouth as she walked over to Beastboy who was sitting at the table.

"What were you saying, friend Raven?" Starfire asked again, just as Raven's features saddened a little. By now, the sharp eyed leader and Beastboy was now watching Starfire and Raven curiously.

"I said I was f-fine," Raven replied shakily, picking her book up again and hiding her face behind it. Starfire opened her mouth to say something, but bit it back, nodding in understanding at Raven.

"Oh yeah, music!" Cyborg shouted, pressing a button with started the loud rock and roll music on again. Raven groaned, "Terra could you tell them to switch it..." she began, her voice trailing off when she saw Beastboy grab Terra's arm and pull her into the middle of the room, then start dancing.

"How's it going, my lady?" Beastboy said with a cheesy grin at Terra who blinked and smiled.

Robin walked to the couch and placed himself down next to Raven, his cheerful grin fading when he saw her lonely and sad expression.

"Raven, are you sure you're-"

"-I said I was fine!" Raven cut Robin off, hugging her book to herself and quickly flying out of the room. Robin tried to call her, but his voice got drowned by the blare of music.

"Is somethin' wrong?" Cyborg asked, walking towards Robin and Starfire, his gaze on Raven who disappeared behind the door.


Raven thought she heard calls before she left the room but she ignored them, thinking it was just the music, she also didn't want to talk to anyone right now. She sighed, "I'm always going to be an outcast," she muttered sadly, as the door closed behind her and she sat down on her bed, her book falling to her side.

'Maybe I'll go to the roof to meditate,' she thought, getting up again. She seemed to be meditating a lot these days; it was the least she could do to keep her emotions in. The emotions which annoyed her everyday, but were getting worse after Terra joined the Titans.


Back in the common room, Robin, Starfire and Cyborg looked at each other in confusion. Robin jerked his head towards the hall, calling Cyborg and Starfire as he walked out.

"What happened just now?" he asked, half in confusion once they were out of the loud music.

Starfire looked worried, "Raven has been very 'out of the order' for the last couple of days," she stated, mirroring Robin's confused look.

Cyborg nodded, "True, Star," he said slowly, "Have y'all noticed that she meditates and reads an awful lot? And-"

"And has been in her room more," Robin finished, a frown rising to his face.

"What is going on with friend Raven?" Starfire asked, her voice laced with sympathy and worry.

"Don't know, Star," Robin mumbled in reply, sorry he couldn't comfort her.

Cyborg frowned, "Well, where is the girl?" he asked impatiently, craning his neck to look at the dark hallway.

"I believe she has done the 'retiring' to her room," Starfire noted, thoughtfully.

Robin hit his fist into his hand, "We have to do something," he said, looking up at the two heroes in determination.


Raven flew into a sitting position as she chanted over and over again, "Azarath metreon zenthos, Azarath metreon zenthos,"

Raven opened her eyes and looked at the sea, watching the sun as it shone brightly on the water. This was peaceful, but her heart weighed her down. Ever since Terra came back, she felt betrayed, sad and lonely.

Raven sighed loudly, and continued to chant, not hearing footsteps behind her.

"Azarath metre-"

"Hey, Raven. Come down ere!" Raven heard a metallic voice call. It made her start, and fall down from her hover, loosing contentration. This made Cyborg more worried, Raven never acted like this.

"Yes, Cyborg?" she asked, getting up to her feet and looking at him questioningly. Cyborg rubbed his neck then held out his arm.

"What's wrong, Raven? You seem sad," Cyborg asked, "Well, sadder," he joked, trying to make the empath smile.

Raven unconsciously let a little sigh escape her lips, before suddenly getting very interested in her shoes.

Cyborg put his hand comfortingly on her shoulder, "Tell us what's wrong, girl. Everyone is worried, well, almost everyone," he said in a brotherly way.

Raven looked up at him, her face sober, "That's the problem," Raven said under her breath, looking up at the metal man. Cyborg had caught the three words and his eyes widened, "Is it…? Terra?" he asked confusedly, trying to understand what Raven meant. Did it mean what he thought it meant?

Raven looked shocked and opened her mouth to say something but something beat her to it.

Beep, beep, beep.

The alarm sounded. And the two heroes look at each other, "Let's talk about this later, okay?" Cyborg told her as the two ran down stairs.

They ran into the lounge where everyone was standing together. Beastboy looked up, "Where were you, Raven?" he questioned, his voice tinged with annoyance.

"Yeah, didn't you hear the alarm?" Terra added, a smirk on the edges of her lips. Raven glared at them and opened her mouth to say something.

"Let her be, we have a mission to do," Cyborg cut in, frowning at Terra and Beastboy. Beastboy shrugged and turned to Robin.

"Where do we go?" he asked.
