My hood was down. I stared solemnly at my mirror, my fingers running through my hair. It had grown overnight, during a particularly disturbing dream. Every night, the dream was the same, but every night, our fates seemed to change. Sometimes I couldn't seperate myself from Cyborg, or Robin, or even Starfire.
That made me shudder. Becoming Starfire would be my own nightmare.
"Raven, you in there?" It was Beast Boy's voice, but there was a different tone to it. Less perky, more sober.
I flipped my hood up and cracked he door. "What do you want?" I asked in a bored, yet frightening tone. "I'm in the middle of something."
He ignored my questions, his eyes fixed on something on my shoulder. His hand rose to touch it. "What's this?" He asked, lifting the very long lock of hair. In one motion, he had pushed my hood off, revealing my newly grown hair. "Raven, what happened?"
"Fashion statement." I rolled my eyes, emphasizing my sarcasm. "What do you want?" I hated repeating my words. It made me sound like a parrot.
"It's Terra." He said, finally looking me in the eyes. "She's gone."
I flung open my door. "Come in. And hurry." I closed the door quietly behind him.
"So when did you notice she was gone?" I asked. It had taken him forever to explain his story.
He scratched the ack of his neck sheepishly. "Well, you see, I was a moth and I saw this thing, so..."
"I know about the stupid moth deal." I cut him off.
Beast Boy frowned. "Well, when I turned away from the... the..."
"Shiny thing that you saw on the street." I supplied.
"Yeah, well, she was gone. I looked all over for her. I even asked all her little preppy friends about her, but they said she was supposed to meet them at the mall later. She never even showed up!" He gulped and fliched, as if I was going to hit him.
I sighed. "Right. Beast Boy, you're about as useless as Cyborg's waffle maker."
He started to giggled, then, "Hey!" as he finally realized I'd insulted him.
"Get out. And bring Robin here. I need to figure this out." I rubbed my temples, immediately drawing my legs upward to meditate. "Idiot." I muttered as he shut the door. Without opening my eyes, I threw a vase against the wall. I'd never liked it anyways, though Starfire would be upset that I'd destroyed her little present.
