Raven walked down the dark corridor to her room at Titans Tower. It was late, two o'clock in the morning to be exact. She could not sleep, it was her eighteenth birthday, and she was scared. She knew that her father had been killed, but for some reason she was scared. She walked into her room, grabbed her clock, went to her bed and lay down. Every minute seemed to take an eternity to pass; she watched her clock until a knock came from her door. She got up, walked over to the door, "Who is it?"

"Beast Boy," a voice answered.

She opened her door and Beast Boy walked in, "I heard you walk past my room."

"Oh, sorry I woke you," Raven sighed, walking back to her bed.

"Is something wrong Raven? You haven't been yourself lately," Beast Boy said sitting down on the black covered bed next to her. She looked at him as if to ask, "Why do you care?" Beast Boy understood her expression, "I'm here to help."

"I know, I'm just afraid, that's all."

He studied her face, "No, there're more, I can tell."

"My emotions are getting harder to control," she spat out.

"Oh, is there anything I can do?"

"No, I need to fix this myself," she whispered.

Beast Boy nodded and walked away, stopping at her door, "Raven?"

"Yes?"

He hesitated, "Nothing." He shook his head and walked out of the room, leaving Raven even more confused.

The next morning, Raven didn't come to breakfast. No one found this odd at first since Raven spent a lot time by herself, except Beast Boy. He was worried, and the others could tell, he wouldn't touch his food.

"You okay BB?" Cyborg asked looking at his friend.

"I'm worried about Raven," he answered quietly.

"Why are you worried?" Robin asked sitting down at the table next to Starfire.

"She said that she was afraid of something and that her emotions are getting hard to control." The others stared at him, not knowing what to say or do.

"I'll talk to her after breakfast," Robin said beginning to eat.

"We all will, she will be okay," Cyborg agreed.

Starfire nodded, "Yes, I will use the ancient cheer from my home world."

Beast Boy shook his head, and left the table, his food still untouched.

"Raven?" Beast Boy asked her door, "Are you in there?" The door opened and Raven motioned Beast Boy in, "What do you need?" He looked around her room, noticing that it was different. It was even more depressing than usual, if that was possible. He then fixed his eyes on her; she was dressed in all black instead of her usual dark blue, "Are you okay?"

"I will be."

"What does that mean?" he asked confused.

She got up, "I'm going to Asarath, and my mother might have the answers I need."

"I'm coming with you."

"It's dangerous, Asarath is dangerous," she shook her head.

"I don't care, you're my friend, and I'm coming with you."

Raven heaved a great sigh, "Fine."

Beast Boy smiled, "Are we telling the others?"

"No, then they will want to come as well, I'm not risking everyone's life, I'm already regretting letting you come with me."

He studied her face, "Can we at least leave a note?"

She pulled out some paper, "Fine, tell them we will be back in one week if not sooner."

He nodded and began writing, then placing the note on Raven's bed, "Ready?"

She nodded, surrounding them with her black raven, and they vanished.

"She's gone, and Beast Boy went with her," Robin said coming into the living room, handing the note he found to Cyborg.

"Where did the go?" Starfire asked.

"Asarath," Cyborg answered.

"We should go to," she concluded.

"No, if Raven wanted us to come, she would have told us," Robin said.

"No she wouldn't have, she's Raven!" Cyborg shot back.

"Did they take their communicators?" Starfire asked curiously.

"Thankfully, yes they did, so if anything happens, one of them will call," Robin sighed.

"Until then, what do we do?" Cyborg asked.

"We wait."
