Murder She Wrote
She held onto his hand, putting all her power into just not letting go.
Azarath, metrion, zinthos. Azarath, metrion, zinthos. Azarath, metrion-
"Hey Raven, move over will you?"
The gothic looking girl lifted her hood and gazed warily at the changeling in front of her.
He was clumsily trying to balance three drinks and a giant bowl of popcorn in his two
arms, and it looked as if he were about to be unsuccessful. The glass of root beer
tipped over and its contents spilled out, and headed to make a mess on the floor.
Thankfully Raven's glowing eyes carefully returned the liquid to its glass. Beast Boy
sighed, and placed the refreshments on the coffee table.
"Thanks, Raven." he said with gratitude.
She simply rolled her eyes. It was very like Beast Boy to not make two trips from the
kitchen to the living quarters. Sometimes, actually most times, Beast Boy did things
without thinking them through. The Teen Titans had grown used to it, though.
Raven slowly levitated a few inches into the air as Beast Boy sat on the couch.
"Aw, geez, Rae. I didn't mean for you to leave." he complained, rubbing his neck
nervously.
It was a habit he'd practiced since Raven met him and she found herself liking this cute
gesture despite herself. Quickly, she turned away just as Cyborg and Robin entered the
living room with a handful of games.
"Hey BB, ready for a nice session of me kicking your butt in Fast wheels 2?" asked the
giant half robot.
Beast Boy turned his attention from the girl above him to his male friends.
"No way, dude. If anyone is gonna get their butt kicked it's gonna be Mr. Half Metal over
here."
"Oh you think so, huh?"
"I know so."
Raven moved from her position over the couch and flew toward her room. She wasn't
exactly in the mood for watching Beast Boy and Cy's petty arguing today. The dream
she'd had last night was haunting her mind, and she needed to meditate to clear it.
Her fingers slipped, one by one, and she felt herself being pulled into the darkness
beneath her.
As Raven reached the main hallway she heard her name being called. She turned and
stared at the Boy Wonder.
"Raven, you're welcome to stay and watch if you like." he offered
Inside she smirked. Robin, their unspoken leader, always looking out for his fellow
teammates. It was an admirable quality to her.
"No thanks. I have some more meditating to do. And besides, watching Beast Boy and
Cyborg argue isn't exactly my idea of a good time." she replied in her usual monotone.
Robin took a look at the arguing friends and shook his head.
"Now that you mention it, it's not mine either. Have any idea where Starfire is?"
She shook here head. Starfire and Robin sort of had this bond between them, an
unspoken yet clearly visible romance. Raven secretly envied them, being able to have
such free emotions. Not having any horrific consequences whenever they simply laughed,
or got even a little angry. No, no one had to endure such harsh conditions as Raven.
"I am here, Robin." called a cheery voice.
The Tamaranian beauty poked her head out from their kitchen area. From the smell that
now filled the room it was apparent she was cooking some Tamaranian meal. And it was
apparent that the Teen Titans were going to have upset stomachs tonight.
Raven wrinkled her nose slightly, and then floated off to her room. Behind her Starfire
looked to and asked, "Friend Raven, she is alright?"
Robin nodded. He knew how worried Starfire could get about her teammates. Her
compassion was one the traits that Robin admired in her, and he was always careful not
make her worried about anything.
"So Star," he asked entering the kitchen. "what are you making?"
"Oh," she beamed. "a rare Tamaran delicacy. Nugasflorb. I've found the ingredients here
on Earth and am preparing a, how you say, 'feasting of great friends'. I'm sorry, but it
seems I've used all the horse's tongue and sheep bladder. Is that alright?"
Robin's stomach turned inside out as he looked inside the large cooking pot. He knew
that for the sake of Starfire's feelings, he would be eating at least some of this strange
food.
"It's okay Star. Really."
Robin took one last look into the pot. Can't wait, he thought.
Raven let herself sink into the darkness that was her room. She sighed, and closed her
eyes, chanting those familiar words, Azarath, metrion, zinthos. With her hood pulled over
her head and no interruptions from her friends, her mind felt finally at rest.
Since the day she was created, Raven knew she was different. When she was still very
young she learned soon that her emotions controlled everything. If she was sad about
something a dark cloud would form over Azarath and rain for hours. Her people would
have to spend that time living in misery. If she was happy, things would explode, and if
she were angry… well, whole planets could explode. It all depended on her and what she
was feeling.
That was why she had to leave. She couldn't remain on her home planet when she knew
she could destroy it. With the slightest feeling, the slightest emotion she could destroy
everything that had ever been near and dear to her. So for twelve years she'd had to live
on this Earth, training herself to control her emotions. No, not control, but wipe away
their existence. She knew it was the only way to ensure the safety of others.
But their was someone who wanted her power gone. Someone who wanted to use her to
destroy everything he could. And he was powerful; so very, very powerful. He knew
what emotion could make Raven more dangerous than she had ever been before. Anger.
He'd taken this emotion and become a guardian over it, waiting for the moment when he
would strike. For some odd reason, Raven felt it was sooner than she'd hoped. And it
seemed like there was no way any one could help her. They couldn't stand against him.
Because he was…
Azarath, metrion, zinthos. Azarath, metrion, zinthos.
Trigon.
