Vacation to London

June 9th 1996

8:58 p.m.

Titans Tower, Jump City

"Titans, I have an announcement to make." The brightly garbed teen said.

Raven looked up from her novel glaring slightly at the colorful boy walking into the room. She was just getting to the much anticipated climax of her book when the walking traffic light sauntered in. The other titans were all in the room doing various activities. Beast Boy and Cyborg were currently trying to demolish each other on the Gamestation, while Starfire was watching while cheering them on.

Raven herself was sitting curled up on the end of the couch reading her newest novel. The black colored tome was thick enough to repel most readers but to Raven, the thicker the book, the better it is. Of course, as soon as the boy wonder started his announcement everyone had to stop what they were doing. She watched as he walked in front of the television with narrowed eyes. This announcement better be worth it or there were going to consequences for a certain masked leader.

"Titans." Robin said seriously.

Everyone looked at each other worriedly. Whenever Robin took that tone of voice something had gone wrong in some way.

"WE'RE GOING ON VACATION!" He yelled out unexpectedly. As he intended, everyone jumped in shock at his shout. It took a few moments but soon, what he said registered in all of their minds.

It was like an explosion went off in the tower. Starfire shot up into the air, happily speaking tamaranean. Cyborg and Beast Boy were doing a happy dance right behind the couch. Raven turned to see what Robin was doing during this and wasn't surprised that he was just standing there watching Starfire amusedly. She had always known that Robin had a thing for Starfire. The way he yells her name when she gets injured is enough of an indicator. That scream could probably heard all the way in Mexico.

She couldn't blame him for liking Starfire. She just had this bubbly personality to her that could attract even the darkest of men. Her beauty is only a bonus. With naturally dark red hair and emerald green eyes, she could be considered one of the most beautiful superheroes. She normally wore a purple top that stopped at her mid-riff and a short purple skirt with long purple boots.

Her on the other hand, her beauty isn't as apparent as Starfire's. Raven guessed she could be considered cute. She knew she wasn't even close to looking as good as Starfire does. Her skin was so pale that it could be considered gray. Raven's eyes were an unnatural amethyst color and her hair was a shade of violet. She also had a small ruby colored jewel on her forehead. Unlike Starfire though, her curves were more prominent. Especially under the tight dark colored leotard she wore. Raven usually wore a blue hooded cloak over her leotard. She couldn't help but feel a little bit of pride at this fact. She snapped out of her musings when she saw the other titans stop celebrating.

"So where are we going?" Cyborg asked excitedly.

Cyborg was, as his name suggests, half-machine. Nearly everything below his neck was mechanical. His shoulders were blue, while a strip of his arm can be seen below. The rest of his arm was also blue. His hands were white with silver fingers. Everything else below his head followed the same pattern. His head was the most organic out of his whole body. Half of his face was mechanical, with a red glowing eye right next to his regular gray eye.

Cyborg was the unofficial big brother of the team. He was actually one of the only people she would actually smile for. He's usually as playful and laidback as Beast Boy but knows when to get serious unlike the green shapeshifter.

"Yeah dude, are we going to Paris, Hawaii, or maybe Australia?" Beast Boy asked in his normally humorous manner.

Beast Boy was a green skinned human, who could change into any animal at will. He had short forest green hair and similarly colored eyes. He had a boyish looking face with a pointed tooth always peeking out of his mouth. He is always in his purple and black jumpsuit, even outside of missions.

Beast Boy could be considered the little brother of the group in Raven's opinion. He acted mature at times but he usually acts like an annoying little brother. He proclaims himself as funny but his jokes made her frown almost all the time. There are only rare occasions that she actually smiles at his jokes.

"According to Batman, there have been attacks all over London." Robin said seriously. "He doesn't know much about the attacks but he doesn't think they will be really difficult to stop." "I figured that if we have to go to England, then we can at least have a little vacation." He finished happily.

Of course the cheers commenced again. Raven didn't think that the cheers were for going to London but were instead for going on a vacation itself. Crime in Jump City has spiked considerably since the Titans were formed. It was as if the criminals wanted to test their strength against the new teen superheroes. Usually they were out late every night putting villains behind bars. Tonight was the first time they had the evening to themselves.

Robin of course didn't join in the cheering, opting for just smiling enthusiastically with a hint of pride at making his team happy. But that was her leader, always cool, calm, and collected, although his outfit might suggest the opposite.

Robin wore a brightly colored uniform. He wore a bright red shirt with a black badge that had a yellow r on it. His cape was bright yellow on the inside but was black on the outside. It also seemed to be made of really tough material, as it never seems to get ripped. He finished the bright outfit with tight, green spandex pants and black, steel tipped boots. He also wore a black lined white mask over his eyes. Assumedly protecting his secret identity.

His colorful choice of uniforms garnered him the nickname "the walking traffic light". He of course didn't know about the name but all the titans except Starfire called him that behind his back. She returned to returned to reality when Robin started speaking.

"By your cheers, I guess you wanna go." Robin said knowingly.

The others gave Robin a "yeah duh" look while Raven looked thoughtful. She really didn't want to go to London. Not because she doesn't want a vacation, it was just the feeling she got from the place. Before coming to the Titans, she flew over England to get to the U.S. It was a day she would never forget. The dark power she sensed was incredible. She just knew that going back there would be bad news. However, she knew the others really wanted to go, so she decided to suck up her fears and go with them. While she may act like an emotionless freak, deep down Raven loved her friends like family.

"Raven?" Robin asked concerned.

Not saying anything, she nodded and went to her room to pack for the upcoming trip. Being a telepath, she was able to read Robin's surface thoughts. She learned that their flight to London was the next day and that they would have to get up earlier than usual. While it may be disconcerting to a certain green changeling, Raven had no problems with getting up early. She usually got up at the crack of dawn to meditate on the roof anyway.

As she entered her rather foreboding looking room, she made a beeline for her closet. Searching the floor of the closet, she felt her hands clasp around a leather strap. Pulling it out, she laid her eyes on the deep blue duffle bag that she moved into the tower with. Laying the bag on the bed, she moved throughout the room placing clothes and books into the rather small bag. Knowing a great deal of magic, Raven had enchanted the bag to hold way more than it should be able to.

Not knowing how long she would be in London, she packed seven leotards, bras, and cloaks. She also packed seven pairs of underwear and socks. She then packed three novels and placed the fourth on her dresser for the plane ride.

After zipping the bag closed, she placed it in front of her bed and went into the bathroom. Closing and locking the door, she stripped and stepped into the shower. Turning the water on, she bathed, got out, changed into a pair of plain pajamas and stepped up to the sink. After brushing her teeth, she went back into her bedroom and climbed into bed. Pulling the sheets to her chin, she found herself hoping that the bad feeling she was still having was just her being paranoid. A few minutes later, she found herself drifting off.

However in another country, a still very shocked boy was just opening the window to let a messenger owl into his room.
