Once the three girls were on the Tower's roof, Raven was the first to speak.
"Why?" she asked simply in her usual monotone. It was obvious she wanted to be anywhere else but with the girls, but she also knew they wouldn't go away without getting a few words in.
"We could ask you the same thing, sis" Demon replied, making Raven mentally wince at with how she spat the last word like poison.
"You know why I left" Raven refused to meet the red haired girl's eyes, knowing her emotions would likely go haywire if she did. Inside her head, even brave and rage were silent.
"We all make mistakes, Raven" Storm said softly, being the opposite of Demon. She reached out a hand to touch Raven's shoulder, but the younger girl winced and she put her hand back at her side.
"Well you don't think we found you on our own now, do you sis? Guess what, he's awake. And he's asking for you. Where's Raven? Where'd she go? Hey Ash, she left! Without even a goodbye or anything! And now you just have a new team and a new life? Did you forget us Rae? Your FAMILY. Your TEAM. We were WORRIED Rae but seems like that was for nothing. You're just sitting here, sipping your tea, without a care. Wait till Ash hears this Rae, he'll be ESTATIC" Demon spat sarcastically with venom dripping off of her every word. And with that, Demon rand and jumped off the edge of the tower, disappearing with a puff of smoke. Raven flipped her hood up and a single tear escaped her violet eyes. Storm stood in front of her.
"While I agree with Demon, she was supposed to let you explain your part. I'll try to calm her down, but you don't know what it's been like for her. For all of us. She's right though, Ash is awake. Dee and I are gonna be in Jump for awhile but we're not the only one's here. If you ever wanna talk" she reached into her pocket on her shorts and pulled out a folded peace of paper "it's my cell number, just me. But like I said, the whole team's here, so be ready"
She stepped back and waved, the wind blew in circles around her and when they died down, she was gone. Raven looked at the paper and decided she needed to meditate. Badly. She walked back into the common room and put up her hand, meaning that no one should question or try to approach her. She walked out and soon got to her room, hearing the door hiss shut, and ran to her bed, sitting in the lotus position and shutting her eyes immediately.
It wasn't as bad as she had thought. Happy looked like an energizer bunny on crack, Brave was practicing harder with loud battle cries, Timid was in a total breakdown that she appeared to almost be drowning in tears, Rage looked scarily close to breaking her chains, Rude was completely unaffected (Raven was, for once, thankful of this), and Knowledge was fighting with Wisdom. Raven sighed and closed her eyes, re-opening them to find all of her emotions gone. Perfect, she had put them each in their own realms of her mind and would deal with them one by one. First, Happy…
"Raven!" she squealed happily, skipping over to the other girl and bounced up and down while babbling merrily "OMG, the old teams back! And Ash is awake! We can have girl time with the old gang, it'll be so much fun! And we can have makeovers and do each other's hair! We can even spell cast like old times! And then we can-"
"Happy" Raven growled out, already getting a headache listening to the girl "Them being back it not a good thing" Happy looked confused, then smiled.
"Of course it is, silly. They're our family" she then skipped off, leaving Raven standing there thinking. Maybe the old team being back wasn't so bad…
Next was Timid, who was still having a breakdown, but a slightly calmed down one. She looked up when Raven stepped into her realm and reduced to simple tears. Raven kneeled in front of her, letting her speak her piece on the matter.
"What if they don't like us anymore? What if they don't want us? Twin hates us, what if they all do? I don't think they'll ever forgive us for Ashton, never-ever. They don't love us anymore, they don't want us" she spoke quietly and Raven was, surprisingly, slightly angered at Timid.
"They don't hate us, Twin doesn't hate us, and if they didn't want us they wouldn't have come so far to find us" she said firmly, leaving no room for argument. But what she didn't deny is the possibility of them not wanting nor liking her, and certainly not forgiving her. The next realm she walked into was Rude's but she didn't stop, knowing the emotion was unfazed by a lot so she didn't need to speak with her, and passed right into Brave's realm.
"Hey Rae!" She said while throwing punches and kicks into the air.
"So what do you think, Brave?" she questioned curiously. Brave stopped practicing and looked at her.
"I think we should confront them before they get us. If they wanna talk, we can talk, if they wanna fight" she grinned and threw a punch "we can do that too. But hey, I said we should've done that years ago and you didn't listen to me then" she shrugged and went back to practicing, leaving Raven to her thoughts. So far, all the emotions responses led to one answer, and she didn't like it at all. As she was walking away, she heard one last call from Brave.
"And don't forget to tell the Titans!" of course, the Teen Titans, that was definitely going to be difficult…
"LET ME OUT OF HERE!" ah, Rage. Raven braced herself as she walked up to the red-cloaked emotion and simply stood in front of her.
"LET ME GET THEM! HOW DARE THEY FOLLOW US HERE! THEY HAVE TO RIGHT TO-" seeing that Rage didn't have much of any other points except the one fact, Raven walked off to her final destination.
"Knowledge, Wisdom" she greeted and each nodded at her.
"Raven, I don't think it would be Wise to confront the Stones without-"
"They would never hurt us! You cant honestly think-"
"I don't but it would be better to tell the Titans so they can-"
"So they can overreact and get in the way? I say we talk to the Stones first then-"
"NO! We tell the Titans first then-"
"Quiet" Raven commanded and the two shut up immediately. "It doesn't matter who we speak to first, what are we going to say?"
The three all pondered the thought silently until Knowledge spoke.
"It depends on why the Stones came here, we never did get an answer to that"
"Which is why we have to speak to them first, if anything to just see exactly how much we have to tell the Titans" Wisdom added.
"I don't think they pose as a threat, but we haven't had contact with them in years."
"Maybe we could only contact one then? How about Rayne? She always was the calmest of the team"
"Yes, yes, that would work"
"So we're in agreement? We're calling Rayne?" Raven asked and the two emotions nodded. She gave a slight goodbye wave which was then returned and left her mind, floating down onto her bed as she did so. Looking at her hand, she still had the paper in it. She used her magic to summon the cell phone Robin had made her get ever since Cyborg, Starfire, and Beastboy ganged up on him saying they needed cell phones for their "social lives" and she dialed the number. It rang twice, than there was an answer.
