Chapter 1: Quoth the Raven

Suddenly, Raven woke up from a darkness she felt like she was in for hours. She didn't remember what happened, but knew it was bad.

She remembers the Tower had been rocked almost like an Earthquake, and then suddenly, nothing but darkness. She remembered being in her room, a tremor, and then nothing. That was it.

She sat up, and looked around. She was on a large black roof, and had apparently been lying there for hours. She stood up, and looked around. Cramped up houses, billboards, signs, telephone wires everywhere, and a very musty sewer smell. She looked over across a broad river, and saw a ton of high-rises in the distance. She levitated, and floated down to the sidewalk. Immediately, a middle aged couple, one man with short black hair and the woman with long red hair down shoulder-length both immediately froze, and the woman's eyes bugged out.

Raven slowly stepped into the building she was on top of. A bar. A balding over-weight man in a plaid shirt was at the counter, wiping the counters. He looked at her oddly, noticing her age. "If you want a drink here, you're going to need to show an ID." The man said, in a deep scratchy voice. "Really… I just came in here to ask directions." Raven muttered, her hood pulled down. "Oh, ok then. Well, if you don't know where you are right now, you're in New Jersey. We get visitors in here all the time that cross the border without even noticing the, eh, change in scenery." The man told her, as she shrugged.

"Ok then. Thanks for that." Raven said, and turned around to walk outside. The man then asked her, "Hey, where are you from anyways?" She turned her head, and replied, "California.", and walked out.

She began walking down the side of the building down the sidewalk, and muttered, "Great…" with that same couple still staring at her oddly, "New Jersey. I'm a complete opposite coast from where I should be."

She got out her communicator, and opened it. "Robin!" She shouted, as the screen only showed fizz. Suddenly, someone came up from the side and knocked her against a nearby wall. It was a man with a pistol held close to her side, in a black hoody.

"Give me your money now." he commanded, jabbing the gun into her side, as she glared at him. "Are you sure you want to-" she began, but he said louder, "Give me your god damn money!" His spit landed on her face, and she growled in anger. She cast her hand out at her waist level, and covered the gun in black aura, ripping it from his grip. It then floated, still solid black, and aimed at him head level. He backed 10 feet away once she did this, in shock.

"Get out of here before I decide to pull the trigger." Raven muttered icily. He high tailed out of there, down a nearby alley.

That same couple that was there the entire time ran off too the opposite direction, scared by the whole event. She walked by a comic book stand next, and suddenly, a book caught her eye.

"Teen Titans Go #42: Pieces of Me" she thought aloud, glaring wildly at the cover. The cover… was of her, with all of her emotional sides coming out… artwork of that. But nobody other than Beast Boy and Cyborg knew about her emotional sides.

She walked up and grabbed the comic, and opened it. The man attending the stand paid no mind to her reading it, drinking coffee. "So, are you going to pay for that or what?" he asked moments later, as she stared at him from atop the book. "Really, have you even heard of me? I've saved the world, like… three times already." Raven muttered, as the man chuckled. "Are you serious? Listen, just because you're a fan of the Teen Titans comics doesn't make you one of them." He taunted her loudly, as she shrugged.

"So… you think I'm just a fan, hm?" Raven muttered, even more annoyance in her tone. She dropped the book, and stared at the man, who hadn't even seen her entire appearance yet. "Yeah, you're cosplaying, so what?" he replied, as she shook her head in distaste and cast her hand out. He started laughing hysterically, and said, "What are you going to do, use your magic powers against-"

But he stopped mid-sentence, in total shock. Every single magazine, comic book, and paperback novel was floating in front of him, covered in black. "B-b… but you're… you're… you're not supposed to be… real!" he managed to say, nearly speechless.

"What? Of course I'm real." She muttered, as bystanders gasped and looked on in amazement. "… But… but you're a comic book character. And a cartoon character! My kids watch your show!" he shouted, as Raven raised an eyebrow, and let the comics drop. "What?" she asked.

"Look, look. Look in that comic book! You're fiction!" he said, handing her the 'Pieces of Me' issue, his hand shaking like crazy. She shook her head, and replied simply, "No. I know I'm real." She then walked off, everyone giving her stares. And she walked past another younger mid-20s couple, they stepped back away from her, staring too.

"Dude, the Teen Titans are never getting a Sixth Season." Suddenly she heard someone say near her, in a conversation with someone else. It was in a nearby arcade shop, and she stepped in. She then walked past a DDR machine. "Why not? They definitely deserve it." The other teenage boy retorted. "The cartoon had a good run, man, why don't you just let it go?" the other said. Then suddenly, they noticed Raven in the corner of their eyes, and slowly turned their head towards her, odd looks on their faces.

"So, I'm a 'cartoon'?" Raven blurted out, as the two guys' eyes flew open in shock. One of their expressions turned to fascination, and he took a step forward. "Raven? Teen Titans?" he said softly, eying her. She raised an eyebrow, and the other guy's mouth gaped. "Try something! Levitate something!" the other said in excitement, as she sighed in exhaustion, and cast her hand out. Suddenly, the entire game room was covered in black, and every single arcade game console began to rise in front of the players. Everyone ran out of the shop, even the young cashier, leaving just Raven and the two guys. She let all the arcade games drop immediately back to the floor.

The two guys had scooted back like crazy away from her, and were backed up all the way to the wall, and were left speechless. A few moments of silence, and Raven broke it, staring at the two of them oddly.

"What? You asked me to."

Author's Notes:

They DID ask her to! :P Anyway, this idea has been floating around in my head for quite some time, and I finally got the time to write it! Enjoy and please please please review... :)
