Dark Attraction
Disclaimer and author's note: I do not own Teen Titans or any other licensed and/or copy written material used or mentioned in this story. My note is that in this story Terra never existed because I am a relatively knew Teen Titans fan and I've only seen the show a hand full of times and the rest of my knowledge is from online research and at the time I began writing this in my notebook I did not know who Terra was.
Prologue
Raven's dark violet eyes rolled back into her head a little and the constant chitter-chatter of a certain red-haired, green eyed alien who had her hand wrapped around Raven's thin upper wrist. As she was some what dragged along by Starfire she looked around for any object, such as an empty trashcan to place over Starfire's head and stop her incessant talking. She only saw a dumpster and after some consideration decided that to be a little harsh, besides it would have taken the use of quite a bit of her power, a power that she had come to fear and had determined to use as little as was necessary. But she still wanted Starfire to let go of her arm, she was perfectly capable of following the others herself. 'Well, you attract more flies with honey than with vinegar,' she reasoned quietly as she looked at Starfire and back to the dumpster, 'Or less in this case,' she thought, smirking to herself but outwardly remained expressionless. She cleared her throat and began to speak.
"Starfire is it possible you could let go of my arm?" she asked as nicely as she could in her usual monotone.
Starfire quickly let go of her arm, looking down at it, "I'm sorry, did I hurt you? Oh my, your skin looks as though I have restricted your circulation, it's started to have a very slight purple cast," she chattered frantically.
"Uh, Star... Raven's skin is always like that, maybe she is just tired of being dragged around," Beast Boy, who was lagging behind Cyborg and Robin with Star and Raven, said.
At that point Robin looked back at the three, "Star, you were the one who insisted we come out today, so what's the deal, where do you wanna go?" he asked.
Starfire stopped and touched her lip thoughtfully, after a moment of silence she looked at them sweetly, "I forgot." All of them sweat-dropped. "Don't look so depressed guys," she said smiling, "It's a beautiful day and we can find something to do."
"I'd rather be back in my room meditating," Raven said blankly.
"Oh, c'mon Rae, have fun for once," taking Raven's wrist in her overly affectionate manner.
"I asked you to let go of me once, it's not like I'm going anywhere."
"Sorry."
They continued walking down the sidewalk, ever enthusiastic Star having gone up with Robin and Cyborg. Beast Boy walked slightly behind the trio but not enough for them to take notice. Raven walked further behind still, not for any special reason other than she just didn't care.
Star looked around at her surroundings, always in awe of the complexities of human life. "Guys, what's the name of that place where there are all those stores, games and restaurants with that big waterfall in the middle?" Star asked, a little frustrated that things that were so easy for everyone else sometimes proved difficult for her.
"The mall?" Cyborg asked.
"Yeah, can we go there?" Star asked.
"That's a good idea, I'm hungry," Beast Boy said becoming a little more interested in the conversation.
Robin shrugged, "Sure why not?"
Raven's shoulders slumped but she followed anyway.
