Chapter 1: Not So Introduced

"I'm gonna get you, I'm gonna get you, ahhh yeah baby!" Cyborg shouted intensely as he slammed the buttons of the game controller with his fingers.

"No! Nooo!" Beast Boy shouted back in agony.

"New high score!" Cyborg said as the racing game ended.

"No fair, rematch!" Beast Boy insisted. Raven, sitting at the opposite end of the large couch in the living room, trying to delve herself into a book, fiercely shut it and stood up.

"Can you two not do something that is productive for once in your life instead of shouting like foolish animals?!" she said with her voice slightly raised and her eyes narrowly fixed on Beast Boy.

"Hey, I am an animal, what can I say?" Beast Boy joked, grinning. Raven's facial expression never changed. She opened her mouth to say something, but turned away to leave instead.

"What is with you, Raven? You never want to have fun! Come play a game with us! It will make you happy!" Beast Boy told her. How badly he wanted to see her happy. How badly he just wanted her to smile. He could see the pain in her eyes, for it seemed to never leave. He knew she tried to mask it, and did an excellent job when it came to the rest of the world, but not with him. Raven was unaware of this.

Her back was still facing Cyborg and more importantly, Beast Boy. She had heard very clearly what he had said to her, but she easily ignored it. Or acted like it was easy. She calmly put the hood of her cloak over her face and levitated away, leaving Beast Boy with an unseen pain in his green heart.

As soon as Raven went to shut the door of her room behind her, she heard the alarm sound. She passed through the walls and landed back in the living room where she just had been.

"Titans, trouble, east side of town," Robin said, now gritting his teeth, "Slade."

Sorry that this is short! I was having trouble starting it, and I know that it isn't the best of beginnings so far, but I am hoping that you will enjoy it more as you read on :)
