Here's another story. Not my best I'll admit, but give it a chance. Anyway. Enjoy.

Chapter One

"Titan's, split up!" Robin ordered.

It was a busy day in Jump City for criminals. And the Titans. It seemed like every criminal was out and causing trouble. Right now Cinderblock, Plasmus, and a new criminal named Durga whom they had fought only once before, were terrorizing the city. The Titans had met her once before, but the fight didn't last long. Durga saw herself as a goddess and wanted to destroy anyone who was possibly more powerful than her or ridiculed her. Just another psycho, but she was powerful, and that is always to be feared.

Robin and Starfire had paired off together to go after Plasmas, Beast Boy and Cyborg paired together to take on Cinderblock and Raven was left to fight Durga alone. Raven was fine with it, it made it easier actually. She didn't have to look out for her friends, but it did have it's downsides. She couldn't help them if they needed her. At least not immediately. She trusted that they could take care of each other, but always remained ready to run to their help, even if it meant letting a criminal loose to commit another crime.

Starfire flew Robin across town to a industry with many waste products. They weren't particularly looking forward to it. They quickly got to work

Cyborg drove at full speed to another part of town that was unimportant, to stop Cinderblock's destruction. Beast Boy hung his head out the window enjoying the entire way there.

Raven teleported near the jewelry store where Durga was causing trouble. She stealthily snuck into the building and soon saw Durga terrorizing a few remaining citizens. Durga was definitely not human. Raven didn't know what she was, but she had blue skin, yellow eyes, and black hair. She was still strikingly beautiful. Raven quietly made a glass case explode at the other side of the room to distract Durga and allow the defenseless humans to escape. Durga let the people scatter as she collected more rare jewels.

Raven was sure to be careful around Durga. She knew that Durga in Sanskrit meant invincible. She didn't know how much truth it held, but she wasn't about to take any chances.

Raven finally stepped out of the shadows.

"Durga." Raven announced. Durga turned towards her. Her face contorted in anger.

"Your presence displeases me greatly." Raven raised an eyebrow. "You must be exterminated." Durga finished, her eyes flashed a reddish yellow before multiple minions appeared out of thin air. They were like shadows, but seemed to have physical like bodies in the way that they had a solid shape, yellow eyes, and human figure. The aura they gave off was more than disturbing. It was evil.

They surrounded Raven and seemed to cover every corner of the store. Raven had only fought her once before, and she had only shown a power over water and animals (Beast Boy was more of a hindrance than a help that day). Durga was more powerful than she had expected.

Raven tested the strength of the shadow puppets by aiming some broken glass towards their strange bodies. The glass shards passed through them without harm. She tried using her dark magic on them, but it was as if nothing were there. She finally swung a fist at one, only to find herself go through the one's head and to be apprehended by another by the wrists and pushed to the ground forcefully. She couldn't hurt them, but they could certainly hurt her. Raven tried to reach for her communicator, but could hardly even move her head.

Durga knelt down next to Raven. "Where are your friends?" She whispered.

Raven remained silent.

"Why would they leave you all alone, against such a powerful and formidable foe such as myself. They must either have much faith in your abilities, or hardly care for you at all. I am sure they would not miss you if you were to suddenly disappear."

Raven's body tensed as Durga took out a curved sword.

"Shall we see how they react to your death?" She said bringing the knife closer to her neck.

Raven's eyes suddenly glowed white, and she disappeared through the floor, but not before Durga left a scratch on her cheek. Raven didn't go far, but she got far enough away from the shadow puppets and far enough to hide from Durga. She suddenly heard a deep growl, much like Beast Boy occasionally would make, depending on what animal he was. She tried to pin it down, but she saw what it came from before she could remember.

A tiger suddenly appeared in front of her, revealing where she was hiding. Durga's pet. She had seen it last time, but she got the real Tiger mixed up with Beast Boy, and hardly remembered her. Durga soon appeared after the tiger had found her.

"Sharia," Durga commanded. "Attack!"

Raven was about to be attacked by a big tiger, she would have been able to defend herself against the first strike, but was too shocked to react fast enough. Everything was happening so fast. She had hesitated, and was rewarded with a slash across her arm, and part of her leg. Blood poured out of her wounds as she finally ran away. She ran to the other corner of the store, bleeding, and prepared herself for another attack.

"Sharia, Stop." Durga commanded. The tiger laid down, licking the blood off her sharp claws.

Raven stared at Durga with confusion. Durga smiled, and Raven uneasily focused on what she would do if she attacked. No… When she would attack.

"Dear Raven," Durga started. "I'm not going to kill you yet. It would be much too easy. In fact, I'll help you prepare for the next time we meet by giving you a good restful sleep…" she said slowly, almost hypnotizing.

Raven started to feel drowsy. It came on subtlety and overcame her without warning. Raven collapsed to the ground, and quickly became enveloped in darkness.

Robin and Starfire finished fairly quickly and were not feeling all that great. They had who knows what all over them, in their hair, their clothes, everywhere.

"I need a shower." Robin declared to Starfire when things had calmed down.

Starfire only nodded with a weird and queasy look on her face.

Robin's communicator rang and he answered immediately. It was Cyborg and Beast Boy.

"Hey guys, is everything all cleared up?" Robin asked.

"Yep!" Beast Boy answered with his usual smile. Cyborg was also smiling.

"Great." Robin replied. "Me and Star are going to take a shower, meet us at the Tower?" Robin informed.

"Sounds good! I haven't even had breakfast." Cyborg answered.

Beast Boy's stomach growled.

The four Titans quickly returned home to freshen up after a long day, but in the process forgot about Raven.

Raven was left behind.
