Chapter 2: Meeting
Rouge walked the streets, when she came upon a cafe, she noticed that some people would find this place depresssing, but she didn't. Rouge walked in, and sat at a table by the window. She looked around the cafe, and saw a person dressed in a blue cloak, and with the hood up covering the person's face. 'Weird. What does that person have to hide?' Rouge thought as she watched the person.
The cloaked figure was Raven, of the Teen Titans. She was sitting at a table at her favorite cafe, only because Beast Boy and Cyborg was giving her a headache. Raven flelt a pair of eyes looking at her, when she looked up to see, she saw a girl with brown hair, and with white in the front, and pale skin. The only thing that threw Raven off guard was that she couldn't read the emotions or the thoughts, and memories. Not that she wasn't trying to, but she couldn't. 'That's weird. I can't read anything off her.' Raven thought.
Soon her comunicator went off. She got up and left the cafe, the girl was still looking at her. As soon as Raven was outside she levitated into the sky to head toward her friends.
Rouge watched the cloaked person walk out of the cafe. What suprised her though was that when the person was outside, the person levitated and flew into the sky. Rouge's eyes widen, and she got up and looked for the manager. When she found the manager she had asked.
"Is that normal here?" Rouge asked.
"What? Yes it is. You're not from her are you?" He asked.
"No. I just got here this morning." She replied.
"Well that was Raven, one of the Teen Titans. She's the dark sorceress of the group." The manager said.
"She come in here often?" Rouge asked.
"Yes, she only comes if her teamates gives her a headache." He replied.
"Well I was just wondering. Thank you." Rouge said.
Rouge walked out of the cafe, and she walked by a pizza place that had a 'help wanted' sign. 'I need money. Why not?' Rouge walked into the pizza place grabbing the sign as well.
"You called me for PIZZA!" Raven yelled at her friends.
"Come on Raven." The green shapeshifter said.
"Fine." Raven sat down next to her friends.
Cyborg and Beast Boy were having their usual fight of what pizza to get. Raven just sat there bored out of her mind. Robin and Starfire was talking about something. A waitress then walked up to them with a notepad in hand. 'Wait. Didn't I see her at the cafe earlier?' Raven thought.
"I'm Rouge, your waitress. What do you want? She asked.
"Meat Lovers." Cyborg said.
"No! All Vegetarian!" Beast Boy said.
"Why don't y'all get half meat, half vegetarian, and whatever you three want?" Rouge suggested.
"Thank you. Cheese and Pepperoni will be fine." Robin said.
"Okay, it should be ready soon." She walked away.
Raven kept eyeing Rouge as she walked away. She then leaned over to Robin as soon as the girl was out of hearing range.
"That girl doesn't feel right with me." Raven said.
"What do you mean?" Robin questioned.
"I mean that I met her eariler at my favorite cafe, and I couldn't get a reading off her just like I can't now." She explained.
This got Robin very suspisous of this new girl. 'Who is this girl? How can Raven not read her?' He knew if something didn't feel right with Raven then something was up. After a few minutes Rouge came with the pizzas, she gave Beast Boy and Cyborg's theirs, and them the other.
"I guess that's all." Rouge started to walk away.
"Wait. You're new here, aren't you?" Robin asked.
"Yes I am. I got here this morning." She replied.
"How about you stay and chat? If that's okay with you?" He asked.
"I guess I have a few minutes." Rouge sat down.
Robin knew Starfire would jump at this chance. "Since you told us your name... How did you get here? Where do you live? What is your favorite color? And would you like to be my friend?" She said quickly.
"Uh... In order I got here by help from a friend, I don't live anywhere yet, I guess. Is there one I'm forgetting?" Rouge said.
"Oh joyous!" Starfire went to hug her, but Rouge jumped up out of the way. "Oh, is there a problem friend?"
"It's just I have a problem with being touched." She answered.
"I am sorry." Starfire sat back down.
"Don't be." Rouge said and sat back down.
"So you don't live anywhere?" Robin questioned.
"No. I pretty much ran away." Rouge looked down at the table.
"That is not acceptable! Our new friend must stay with us!" Starfire yelled.
"No it's okay. I'm sure I would cause you problems." Rouge said.
"It's no problem. You need a place to stay, so why not?" Robin said. "We'll stay here till you get off work."
"Okay, see you." She got up and walked off.
"This could give you a chance to find out why you can't read anything off her." Robin said to Raven, and she nodded.
Robin was right, this would give Raven a chance to find out. 'I want to know' Raven watched her friends eat because she wasn't hungry. Robin and Raven's mind was on Rouge. 'Why would she run away? Also her eyes were full of panic when Star tried to hug her, but why?' Robin thought. Being the obsesive, curious, detective he is he wants answers. He really needed them since Raven can't read the girl.
Rouge got off work, got her stuff, and walked outside to the Titans, who was waiting for her.
"Hey, by the way I still don't know your names." Rouge said.
"I'm Robin." Robin then pointed to the girl that tried to hug her. "That's Starfire, the green one is Beast Boy, the tall one is Cyborg, and this is Raven."
"I know her since I saw her earlier at the cafe I was in." She said.
Rouge got in the T-Car, Cyborg drove, Beast Boy, Starfire, and Raven sat in the back, Rouge sat in the front seat with Cyborg. Robin was riding his bike. They soon came upon a huge T building.
"You live here?" Rouge asked in disbelief.
"Yeah, come on." Cyborg lead her to the main room.
"Wow, this place is huge." Rouge said.
"So Rouge, Where are you from?" Robin asked.
"I'm from Bayville." She replied.
"That's very far from here. Why did you leave?" Robin questioned.
"I don't want to talk about that right now." Rouge said. "Can you tell me where the shower is?"
Cyborg lead her to the shower, and walked back to the others. Robin was thinking very hard.
"What are you thinkin' about this time?" Cyborg asked.
"Raven told me earlier that she couldn't get a reading off of Rouge. Also she wouldn't tell us why she ran away." Robin said still thinking. "Cyborg, get me what you can on Bayville, and possibily anything on Rouge."
Robin was always suspicous of people who wouldn't answer his questions like 'why run away?' type of questions. He knew something wasn't right, and with her being here he thought this would give Raven a chance to figure this out. The boy wonder knew that something might happen.
