Raven & Crow 1

AK: A Teen Titan fanfic. Based on a previous character I introduced in Best Friend: Crow. This is generally a TT fanfic, and no major romance.

The boy pulled the mouth of his hood further over his face as he made tracks through the crowded fairgrounds. He couldn't be seen. He couldn't be noticed. He couldn't-

He bumped into someone, female maybe, and sent her tumbling to her bottom on the littered earth. "Sorry," he tried to help her up, but the he spotted the mask in the crowd.

He took a closer look at the girl. Her blonde hair covered one eye, and left the other wide and staring up at him from her clear oval face. The sky blue eye made him wary. He tugged her upright and tried to move around her, only for her male companion to step out and block him.

"You gotta problem, freak." The over-massed teen poked one meaty finger into the boy's chest.

He winced. "I-it was an accident..."

"Yeah, Brent, an accident," the girl pleaded.

The boy tried to leave again. But the guy grabbed his hood and yanked him back tossing him to the ground. "What the hell is on his head?" His muscle-bound tormentor demanded.

The boy raked his longish blue-violet hair over the crimson chakra gem on his forehead. "Just a chakra gem... Listen, I'm really sorry..." He couldn't recall her name; even though they'd been in several classes together since his transfer.

"Step off you-"

"Brent, leave him alone! You're ruining this!"

"No he's ruining this- the stupid orphan!" Brent raised a fist.

"Brent!"

"Don't do it man!"

As people tried to talk the muscle-mass out of clobbering him, the boy began an incantation. "Azarath, Metalazon... Ravenna!"

In a twist of dark shadows and palpable force, the kid disappeared before the fist connected with his pale face.

"What the-"

Raven was meditating when the force hit her. Like a swarm of her own power coming for her.

"Starfire!" Rae tackled her friend to the ground as the force culminated.

"Tell me, Raven, is this a regular ritual for a 'GNO'?" the alien princess asked.

"No... But I think one of my older brothers just popped in for a visit."

Starfire readied star-bolts in her hand, but they dimmed slightly. "Is it the one with the dream-filled eyes and smile like that actor from the cinematic motion picture I like so much?"

"Focus!" Rae growled, gathering her forces.

As the shadows cleared, a ratty-clad teen was left in its place. He raised his head. "H-help me..."

Rae lowered her hands cautiously. "Who are you? Who sent you? And why are you using this force?"

His head dropped back on the floor of the media room. "So hungry..."

"H-hey-!"

His stomach roared audibly.

Rae sighed. "Starfire, can you reheat some of those pancakes Cyborg made this morning. And one of the muffins too. I don't think he's much of a threat."

AK: Can you guess how many chapters this will be? Neither can I! But this is going to be fun!
