Chapter 1 – The Daily Routine
Her eyes slowly opened as she scanned around the room she was laying in. Darkness was all she could see. She dragged herself out of bed and stood up. She stretched out her arms and yawned aloud. She picked up the towel, which was lying, over her dressing table and walked towards the door. Her doors automatically opened as she stepped out into the corridor, light shone brightly and hit her pale body suddenly. She jerked back, taking in the high dose of light and started to walk down the corridor. Titan's Tower was quite at this hour, no corny jokes, no homemade puddings, no combat practice, no computer games, just peace and quite. She smiled to herself; she enjoyed this quality time to herself with none of her roommates to disturb her. Getting peace and quite in Titans Tower is nearly impossible.
After her long and relaxing shower, she walked up to the roof of the Tower to go and do her meditation. The double doors opened and a nice subtle breeze brushed against her. She walked to the edge and crossed her legs and closed her eyes. The sky was beautiful at this time of day. Blends of yellow, orange and red were displayed in the sky. The beautiful yellow ball of fire was slowly rising from the horizon to brighten up the day.
"Azarath Metrion Zynthos. Azarath Metrion Zynthos." She repeated softly in her monotone voice, eyes closed lightly as the breeze brushed against her body. She loved meditation, she loved it so much. It, made her feel light, superior, calm, relaxed. It really helped her get her mind off of things, which may bother her. She adores her friends, without them, she would be nothing. It's hard to show them how much she actually appreciates their attention. She doesn't want to seem ungrateful because she's not, she is really grateful and would do anything for each and every one of them. But sometimes it's hard to express her true feelings to them, that's just how she is like. Beast Boy, Cyborg, Robin and Starfire. All special in their own ways. She wants each and every one of them to stay how they are like, as much as she may find them annoying. It wouldn't be the same if they were all just dry and boring. As much as she hates to admit it, she loves the loud and bubbly atmosphere...sometimes.
Back in Titans Tower
"Raven? Raven." A familiar voice rung joyfully outside Raven's bedroom. Already dressed in her uniform and ready to start the day. "Raven, am I permitted to enter your room?" She banged her fists loudly against her door making an irritating banging noise be heard throughout the whole of their home. "Raven, are you present?" She opened her door slightly and peered into her dark room. She looked around in the darkness for about a minute before she realized that she was not in her room. She walked down the hallway with her fingers in her mouth, looking around Titans Tower. "I wonder where she could be?" She said aloud as she exit the main part of the living quarters. She passed the stairs, which lead to the roof and instantly stopped and retraced her steps. She heard a familiar monotone voice repeating a chant over and over again. The Tamaranian girl gave a sweet smile and started to climb up the stairs.
"Azarath Metrion Zynthos." She kept on saying this for about an half an hour now and she is really getting into it. 'No interruptions, so far so good.' She thought to herself. 'But it wouldn't be long before...'
"Hello friend Raven!!" A cheerful voice filled the atmosphere. Raven cringed at her voice, she made her loose concentration. She knew that the others would be also waking up soon. "Do you wish to join me for breakfast?" Raven looked behind her shoulder to see Starfire holding her hands together, looking at Raven with a sweet and innocent look. Raven gave out a sigh. The others will be up soon so she might as well.
"All right." She got up slowly and followed Starfire back down the stairs and into the main activities room. Starfire instantly flew towards the kitchen area and started to mix together various ingredients for the titans to eat at breakfast, while Raven simply walked towards the kettle so she can boil the water for her herbal tea. It was quite a warm morning, so Raven took off her cape, which covered up her black leotard that she always wore. She placed it on the sofa and went back to the kitchen area.
"So Raven...." Starfire began, trying to start up a conversation with her. "How have things been lately?"
"All right, I guess." Raven turned to her and shrugged her shoulders, keeping the conversation as quick and precise as possible. She wasn't really in the talking mood at the moment; well she's never in a social mode ever. Starfire stopped for a minute, thinking what else she could say when she was interrupted by the far door swung open. A black haired boy stood in the doorway, fixing his mask, which was on his face. He let out a yawn and strolled into the room. Starfire shrieked when she realized who it was and started to mix her homemade glorge franticly, going a light pink colour as she faced away from him. Raven rolled her deep lavender eyes at Starfire when she saw her do this. Robin also came into the kitchen area where the two girl titans were. He smiled as he saw them both.
"Morning Starfire, Raven." He breathed softly looking at the two girls. His eyes widened as he realized what Starfire was making and instantly started to search in the cupboard for some cereal. Starfire realized his turn of actions and jumped frantically to his side.
"That won't be necessary friend Robin. I have decided to prepare my family tradition breakfast feast which we us to made back at Tamaran. Come friends and sit down at the table and it will be ready in a short while." Starfire dragged him and Raven and Robin towards the dinning table. Starfire had the biggest grin on her face. Raven let out a moan while Robin struggled to smile back at Starfire. But knowing what had in stall for his taste buds, it was quite hard to keep the smile up. Both of the Titans did as they were told and sat down at the dinning table watching Starfire add in more and more bizarre ingredients into the bowl. They both sweat dropped, both secretly terrified of how her home made glorge would taste like.
Not long afterwards they heard two fierce voices in the corridor shouting and arguing amongst two of the boy Titans. Everyone looked towards the doorway to see Cyborg and Beast Boy yelling at each other about who's going to prepare breakfast.
"WOAH!! Take it easy there Titans." Robin commanded as he stood up from his chair. They ignored him and carried on as usual. Robin then brisk fully walked up towards them and started to get in between them.
"I told you once and I told you a thousand times, I ain't eating your crappy tofu crap!! It tastes like rotten cardboard box!"
"Oh yeah, and how would you know that?" Beast Boy yelled back defending himself. "Oh, so your telling me that you've eaten cruddy cardboard boxes? Blach!!!!!" Beast Boy started to laugh as he ran towards Raven and Starfire.
"YEAH, YOU BETTER RUN YOU LITTLE SHIT!" He yelled after him as Robin struggled to keep him back. Cyborg was burning with furry. Beast boy jumped onto the chair opposite Raven and started to swing on it, rocking the table as he did. Raven lent back, avoiding the table with an annoyed look on her face.
"Do you mind?!" Raven hissed at the green changer as he placed his feet on the table.
"OH! OH! You guys, I've got a good one." He beamed out unexpectedly totally ignoring Raven. "Why did the chicken cross the road?" No one even looked at Beast Boy for the answer. "So it could get to the other side" He burst out into fits of laughter as the team looked at him really concerned.
"That joke, is like 10 years old of date." Raven grumbled while she watched him nearly fall of the chair with laughter, sipping on her herbal tea.
"I am...confused. A chicken is some sort of..." Starfire started to babble on to Robin while he tried to explain to her that Beast Boy's joke is just plain not funny. Beast Boy stopped instantly to see a crossed Raven looking at him. He bounced back up, lent over the table and looked straight into her eyes.
"Okay, okay I've got a good one." He quieten down, face literally 15cm apart from each other.
"Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
Most poems rhyme,
But this one doesn't!"
He broke into fits of laughter again but kept his face still close to hers. She pulled a face, she replied back with her monotone voice.
"Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
Your joke was stupid,
And so are you."
Beast Boy's face dropped as she stared back at him. Somehow the other titans heard Raven and everyone, apart from a confused Starfire started to laugh at Beast Boy.
"Now that's funny!" Cyborg chuckled, pointing his finger directly at Beast Boy as he folded his arms.
"Come on guys, it weren't that funny." Beast Boy sulked in his chair going a light pink colour, despise his green completion. Robin sat next to Raven while Cyborg sat on the other side of her. Starfire walked proudly towards her friends with a pot of god knows what, pouring it into everyone's bowl. Starfire sat next to Beast Boy, which was opposite to Robin and picked up her spoon. She watched everyone really confused as they all played around with their spoons not saying a word.
"Friends, why aren't you eating your food?" She put her spoon into her food.
"Ummmmmmmm" Raven began but then Robin cut her off.
"We all not very hungry at the moment, maybe we would save it for later." Starfire's confused faced turned back into a smile.
"Okay Robin, we shall feast upon this food later on." She looked down and started to blush. "Do you wish to hang-out with me?" Robin blinked at her while BB and Cyborg sniggered immaturely. Raven glared at the two boys shaking her head. He then replied.
"Sure! Whatever you want Star." And with that, the two of them walked out of the main room leaving Beast Boy, Cyborg and Raven in the main room. They all instantly jumped up and chucked their food and also their bowls into the garbage.
"YUCK!" Beast Boy pulled a face as he looked into the garbage bag. "Who knows what she puts in her homemade puddings."
"HEY! You ready to get your little green butt kicked?" Cyborg shouted as he sat on the sofa ready to play on the computer game.
"Yeah, but your going down this time!!!!" Beast Boy jumped next to him sitting right on Raven's cape, picking up the controller eyes glued to the TV screen. Raven sat at the edge of the sofa and started to read one of her novels. Them all skipping breakfast has just turned into a daily routine, every day, every night.
"Oh It's such a glorious day isn't it Robin?" Starfire beamed out with her arms stretched out open in the rays of the sun. Robin smiled softly as the Tamaranian girl looked out of her bedroom window.
"Yeah, it is." Robin agreed, scratching the back of his head while sitting on the edge of her bed.
"Maybe we should, asked the others if we can all go to the park today."
"Ummmmmm." Robin began. "Maybe tomorrow, I don't think everyone wants to go to the park today.
"But why Robin?" Starfire's tone saddens down, facing Robin with a depressed look on her face.
"Because Star, we went to the park yesterday, and the day before that...and the day before that too." Robin answered while looking towards the ground. Starfire understood and sat next to him on the bed. Starfire had a pack of cards in her hand and placed them next to him.
"Robin, do wish to join me in a game of, stick, poker?" Robin sharply turned his head towards her looking at Starfire who had a big grin on her face. Robin blinked at her then replied.
"Stick Poker? Oh, um Star, do you even know what strip poker is?" Starfire looked up towards her ceiling scratching her eye.
"Is it some sort of card game where if you lose you have to poke your opponent in the eye with a long stick?" Robin started to laugh he found it quite funny. "What is it Robin?" She asked innocently.
"No, not at all. Um Star, strip poker is where if you loose your turn, you have to remove one item of clothing. And if you keep on losing, well...you get my drift." It didn't take that long before Starfire realized what he meant and went a bright red. Robin sniggered at her as she stared big eyed at him. She had no idea that's what the game she insisted to play with Robin was so, rude! Every time she did things like that, she feels utterly embarrassed and thinks that Robin won't like her any more. Even though she's just being paranoid. Robin won't mind, her usual misunderstanding happens all the time. Her mistakes happen as a daily routine, every day, every night.
Later on in the evening after Raven's finished helping out Cyborg with his T-car, she makes her way downstairs only to bump into Beast Boy. He lost his balance and fell on his ass in front of her. Beast Boy, who is now red with embarrassment gets himself up, no help from Raven and tries to start a conversation as usual.
"So Rae.... what's up." He sweat drops as he sees her facial expression not change at all.
"Nothing that will interest you." She replied in her usual monotone voice looking at him straight in his eyes. He hesitates and doesn't make any eye contact with her at all.
"So..." He starts kicking with his foot gently. "Where are you heading off to?" He asked as he stares down towards the floor.
"To my room so I can meditate in privacy seeming I can't get any around here." And with that, she brushes past him and continues to walk down the corridor. As she turns around the corridor, he lets out a sigh and slides down the wall until he was sitting against the wall. He couldn't understand why she was so horrible to him constantly. He wanted to know what he was doing so wrong to make her react to him so badly. He looked to where she has just walked and let out another sigh. 'Who am I fooling? She doesn't like me.' He thought to himself. He couldn't explain his feelings; he doesn't know what is happening to him. After seeing all of those sides to her when him and Cyborg entered her meditation mirror, well Raven kind of grew on him. But he battered himself mentally every time he allows those thoughts to enter his mind. This was also becoming a daily routine, every day, every night...
