Raven looked out across the ocean at the city on the distant shore. She shivered and rubbed her arms. It was all over now. Everything was back the way it should be. Earth was in one piece, the titans were alive and Slade was nowhere to be found. So why did she have a lingering sense of impending doom? Perhaps it was the slight taste of Déjà vu in the air. The last time she saw the beautiful sunrise reflected like that on the water, she had been standing on the roof with Robin on the day where everything ended.
Only now she was alone, winter was coming and no one was coming to end the world. So why did she have this feeling? Raven pulled her hood over her hair and phased into the roof, and into her room, spending the next three hours in solitude.
A knock at the door ended the quiet.
"Raven, Cyborg and I are going to play X-treme Stank Ball! Wanna come and be referee? I promise you won't get tackled again!" That voice could only belong to one person: Beastboy.
She opened her door and sure enough, there he was, in the green flesh and wearing a pair of bright red swimming trunks. The colors reminded Raven of Christmas decorations.
"Uh, no thanks Beastboy. I have…stuff to do." She closed the door.
"Aw Come on! you're the only one left! Starfire is trying to cook some nasty crap in the kitchen and Robin is training!"
"Hey, she doesn't wanna play, she doesn't wanna play. Give her a break." Said Cyborg.
"Aww…alright. Let's try Starfire again."
"Oh, no. You know what'll happen if we go anywhere near that kitchen! She'll try and make us eat some Snorthog Florgbag snot or something!"
Raven walked away from the door when she heard Beastboy's laughter die away down the hall.
Under any other circumstances, she would have gone. Secretly, she actually loved to referee their games. She especially loved watching Beastboy play…but still…something wasn't right. This stupid feeling wouldn't go away.
She sat cross legged on her bed. Maybe a little meditation would help clear her mind. Maybe, even though it was impossible for him to do so, she thought that Trigon would come back. It was probably just her getting over the shock of the whole event. It had happened a month ago, and yet it always felt like yesterday. Unfortunately, she wouldn't be meditating. Alarms sounded through the tower. Trouble in the city.
Robin was there examining the screen already, as usual. Raven had just entered when BB and Cyborg came in.
"What's going on?" Asked Beastboy. Robin seemed unable to take his eyes off the screen.
"How?" He asked. Starfire leaned closer now too.
"But, that is impossible. Our friend-"
"I know Star. Raven," Robin turned to her, his expression unreadable. Beastboy and Cyborg looked at her in wonder.
"Raven, I want you to see this." She stepped forward and watched as Robin played the footage of the attack he had received from a traffic camera. Raven's eyes went wide.
"What? How?" she turned to Robin, who shrugged in return. "That what I want to know. Where were you a couple minutes ago?"
"My room, trying to meditate." Robin looked around at the other Titans for confirmation. Beastboy nodded.
"Yeah! We saw her! We asked if she wanted to ref our game!" Cyborg looked at her sideways.
"But she didn't want to come out. Said she had something to do." Raven caught the undertone in his voice.
"Look, I understand how you think I did it, but it isn't me on that tape." She glanced at the black and white footage. It did look an awful lot like her.
"But Raven," started Starfire. "If it is not you on that camera, who is it?" Robin turned to the team, a fierce expression on his face.
"I don't know, but we're going to find out! Titans, go!"
Before Raven left, Robin grabbed her shoulder, pulling her aside. He offered a warm smile when he saw her tense expression.
"Don't worry. I believe you. We'll find who did this." With this he ran off, with Raven's gaze following him. She gave a rare smile and followed him out.
