Second chapter. Raven might seem a little OOC in this chapter, and maybe even a few more after this but remember this happens about a week after she already opened up to BB sooooo... ergo she would be a bit better at showing her emotions. Enjoy!

Chapter 2: The Demon RevealedRazgriz is lying on a bed in the medical room still unconscious while Cyborg monitors her medical data; he begins to scan her body as well as her brain. The other Titans are in the hallway outside of the room.
Beast Boy was a little confused, "So… She walked into town, someone spotted her wings, got scared, tried to fight her or something then everyone else followed the leader and that's what probably started the riot?"
Robin responded casually, "Yeah, I'm almost sure she didn't start that riot. She might have accidentally been the cause just by walking into the city and attracting some unwanted attention like you said Beast Boy." Beast Boy had a smug look on his face.
Raven shot Beast Boy a plain face, "Nice work Gar, you should be a detective." Before Beast Boy could respond Raven went on looking disappointed and sounding a little angry, "Are you sure about this Robin? Letting a stranger, apparently a Demon, into the Tower."
Starfire sounded curious, "She did not seem to be trying to hurt anyone, only defending herself. But I wonder where she was going… Perhaps she sought out our help?"
Raven responded before the others could, "I don't think so Starfire. When she saw us she didn't bother to ask for any help… She didn't seem to think of us as a threat either." Raven was starting to lighten up a bit, convincing herself that the Demon wasn't any danger for the moment, "What was it she said before she passed out?"
Robin, "She said she was seeking some sort of Evil to destroy but I'm not sure what she meant. I was thinking it might have something to do with the Brotherhood of Evil but we already defeated and imprisoned all them. I called the prison and they still have them in cryostasis…" He turned towards the door, "Let's see if Cyborg's found anything about her condition."
They all walked into the room. Cyborg had a normal look on his face, "She isn't physically hurt just exhausted, so she should be waking up sometime soon." He looked at the device in his hand, "Something pretty interesting I found out you should know; according to my scans her body is less than a few days old despite her appearance."
The other Titans had a look of shock and confusion on their faces. Beast Boy spoke first, "Okay… This whole thing is just getting weirder and weirder."
Raven picked up where he left off, "Yeah, figures a Demon would spawn on our… day off." She was hoping that she would be able to talk with Beast Boy in private earlier that day before the call came in. She went on sounding as distrusting as in the hallway, "Should we have someone on guard for when she wakes up? Incase she decides to destroy the place under our nose… She is a Demon after all…"
Razgriz opened her eyes and spoke in her weak cracking Russian accented voice, "You're one to talk… Daughter of Trigon." As she sat up in her bed Raven raised her fist with magic around them in defense, "I heard of the prophecy long ago before my slumber…" She started to have worry in her voice and in her eyes as she stared at Raven, "Tell me daughter of Trigon… Tell me the prophecy has failed!"
Raven, as well as the others, was a little surprised. She released her magic and lowered her fists, "The prophecy came to pass, but we destroyed Trigon together… And my name is Raven."
Razgriz closed her eyes, "Good… Even before my time on Earth Trigon was feared by all other demons, he sought only to destroy and rule over everything…"
The others looked at Raven waiting for her to respond. She saw this and felt that the other Titans wanted her to do the questioning, "We have some questions for you," Raven softened her tone a little as Razgriz nodded once in agreement, "For starters, who are you?"
Razgriz' voice was still a bit shaky, "My name… There was a title given to me a very long time ago by those who feared me… they called me 'The Demon of Razgriz' … so I suppose you can call me… Razgriz."
Raven responded with a sharp look, "What do you mean by 'those who feared you?'"
Razgriz was suddenly struck with sadness; her face and voice showed it, "Those who feared me… were those who knew my wrath was coming to their land…" The others had a look of either resentment or surprise, "Before my slumber I was a destroyer of life… Killing anything in sight… But… things are different now."
Robin decided to speak up sounding a little angered, "How? How are they different?"
Razgriz felt a new emotion she new as remorse, her eyes starting to water, "I can feel them… I can feel the Evil that has grown within the lives that were once so pure. This Evil… It's spreading… I can feel it all around this city… All around this planet…" She looked away from the Titans with her tears now fully flowing and feeling another new emotion she knew as embarrassment, "When I awoke and felt so much Evil around me I… I wanted to stop it… I wanted to stop all the pain all the… … It was overwhelming everything I felt… That I can still feel."
Beast Boy, feeling concerned for Razgriz, walked over to her and put his hand on her shoulder like stranger would try to comfort a stranger. To everyone's surprise Raven walked up next to him and put her hand on Razgriz' other shoulder to comfort her as well.
Raven spoke in a comforting voice which sounded so strange coming from her, "Razgriz, we've been fighting the kind of Evil you're talking about for awhile now," Beast Boy finished her sentence, "Yeah, you aren't alone in this."
Razgriz felt another new emotion, though she didn't know what this one was called it felt very soothing. Her tears stopped and she turned her body to face forward still feeling some of the embarrassment, "Thank you… And forgive me for crying. All of these emotions are very different for me… Before, the only things I felt were Hatred and the Urge to destroy everything around me… I had no idea there were so many other feelings in this world… So many bad and so many good feelings… it's as overwhelming as the Evil in this world."
Beast Boy smirked, "Y'know, I think one of us might be able to help you with the whole emotions issue." He glanced at Raven.
Raven shot him a spiteful look but after a second a small smile showed up on her face; the others found it amusing. Raven went on asking questions in the same comforting voice, "Razgriz… I need to know; how did you know I was the daughter of Trigon?"
Razgriz nodded, "When you used your powers to heal that man I felt something familiar, something like His aura but different, lighter and much more pleasant to be sure." She took a deep breath, "The Prophecy of Trigon was foretold long before I made the attempt to destroy life on Earth… When I was in the demon world so long ago… Trigon himself, a very young but still very powerful demon at the time, attempted to destroy me. I knew I would die if I fought him so I fled to Earth… In other words I was forced to come here. Even if I were to fight Trigon today I doubt my power would be enough to pose even a small threat."
Razgriz looked down at her torn worn out shirt she had found on the way into the city. She looked up at the Titans, "Would it be alright for me to ask for some 'clothes'? Just a top and bottom would be fine…. I know it is 'normal' for humans to wear 'clothing', spirit demons like myself need not such things but since I'm in this form..."
Cyborg responded this time, "Sure thing Razgriz, we have some spare clothes here in the medical room." Cyborg opened up a nearby closet; he took out a red short-sleeved shirt, thick black pants, a red belt, and some gloves that had probably been put there by accident. He handed them to her as she stood up, her ragged clothes nearly falling off. The girls turned around knowing what was coming and forced the heads of the three boys, who didn't know what was coming, around as Razgriz undressed and dressed herself. They heard the sound of fabric being torn and a belt being buckled.
Razgriz tore two straight lines down the back of the shirt so her wings would fit around it easily. With much gratitude in her face, "Thank you… friends. Excuse me if dressing myself seemed… offensive." Her cheeks were starting to turn red, "I forgot about… the embarrassments humans can feel at the sight of another's body."
Everyone was blushing but Beast Boy was the one to speak first through all the red faces, "Uh… Yeah, no problem just try to warn us next time you do something like that." He wiped the sweat off his brow and shrugged at the others.
Razgriz adjusted the fingerless gloves Cyborg had found, "Again, I apologize… My knowledge of human nature is… rather limited… If it is fine with you I would like to learn… More about you… More about my emotions."
Starfire hovered over behind her, partly so Razgriz would hear her better and partly to examine her wings, "I can tell you from my own experiences on Earth that humans can be very complicated and confusing at times."
Razgriz was confused, "You… are not human?" Her wings twitched when she felt Starfire's strangely warm hand on them.
Starfire withdrew her hand, hoping she was not being rude, "Correct! I am from a planet called Tamaran. But I have been here on Earth for many years with my friends. You can call me Starfire." She smiled.
Cyborg walked over to the side of Razgriz, "We'd be glad to help you adjust to life here," He looked up at Starfire and then to Raven, "All of us." Raven gave a very small smile that quickly faded away.
Starfire laughed and gave Razgriz a bone-crushing hug, "I will help you in anyway I can new friend!"
Razgriz was confused again but felt very comfortable, "What… what is this you are doing 'Starfire'? Is it a means of… 'good' communication?"
Beast Boy dived at Raven and wrapped his arms around her, "You could say that. It's called a hug though."
He smiled as Raven shot him a secret smile then shoved him off. Raven spoke in her normal tone, "Starfire likes giving a lot of those so you might want to watch out." Razgriz returned Starfire's hug with shaky and hesitant arms. She felt a new emotion that she didn't know what to call but knew it was a good feeling. Starfire could only giggle in response.
Robin spoke to the team, "Well Titans, it looks like we have a new ally." He walked to Razgriz with a small smile on his face and held out a communicator, "Welcome to the Teen Titans, Razgriz."
To Be Continued.
