A/N: ok so, another chapter for those of you out there who are reading this. I know, I know, this chapter isn't that long, in fact, my chapters aren't very long but I'm trying to make them longer and more interesting and I think I'm succeeding! In fact, the only reason why this chapter is so short is cos I wanted to build up suspense and, you guessed it, a cliffy (I've never had a cliffy before . . . . go me)

As you all know, I don't own Teen Titans and unfortunately I never will though I'd like to own Robin and BB. I'd also like Speedy and Kid Flash and Kyd Wykkyd if anyone was wondering what I wanted for Christmas or as a late birthday present (my birthday was on the 4th of October!)

What are you reading this note for? The chapter is below!


SHADES OF BLUE

Chapter 3: Who You Gonna Call?

She put her book back on her shelf once in her room and she walked over to her dressing table. Lying on the top of the table, partially hidden beneath some papers was a small, black flip mobile phone.

She had bought herself one not too long ago; in fact, all the titans had as a back up means of communication just in case their communicators were ever disabled by an outside source or damaged badly in a fight. Cyborg had installed them all with a tracking chip and a tracer so as to be able to track down whoever was calling the phone and vice versa, though Raven knew how to and often did, disrupt the system so whom she was in contact with was kept a secret.

She noticed she had two messages and she knew that one of them was from Robin, probably asking her if everything was alright. She sighed, although she loved the boy (an emotion which had only come to light a few weeks before but which she would NEVER in a million years share with anyone) he did sometimes annoy her with his constant worry.

She was right of course; one of the messages was from Robin. It read 'Raven, are you ok? Why didn't you come with us today? It's not as funny without you.' Her heart did a little summersault in her chest as she read the last sentence, she knew he meant it in a platonic way but she still liked to pretend he meant it as more than a friend.

'Yes Robin, I'm fine and I'm sure you are having a whale of a time with Starfire. And I told you why I didn't want to come, don't be an idiot, it doesn't suit you.' She smiled as she wrote her reply.

It had become something of a joke between them, Starfire's obvious attraction to him. He had confided in Raven a while back, during the Trigon fiasco that he had no romantic interest in Starfire. Raven had been deeply touched by his confiding in her, though she knew his main reason for doing it was to get her to relax and maybe open up to him, to open the bonds of trust and it had worked, slightly. It had helped her talk about things with him, though not as much as he would have liked.

Since then, however, she had taunted him about Starfire's attraction every chance she got, constantly hinting that he was mooning over her and enjoying the uncomfortable way Robin got as Starfire looked at him with hopeful puppy dog eyes. She knew it was mean and she shouldn't play on one of her only female friend's emotions but she couldn't help it.

She laughed silently as she thought about the hours of pure hell Robin had had to endure because of her taunting and went on to read the second message she had received.

She sighed as she saw it was from Beast Boy, who had only really just started to discover how to use the phone. He continually sent her jokes which were hard to decipher due to the way he shortened every single word. His message read 'Wut is d diff btwn a smrt blnd n a UFO? Der hve ben sghtns of UFOs. HA!' She sighed and deleted it. She was surprised at the way he insulted blondes to be honest, she thought that every joke would remind him of Terra but, she guessed, the less anyone thought about that extremely dim traitorous bitch the better.

She muttered a small incantation and disabled the tracers in the phone before writing out a small message to a friend. 'Hey are you alone right now or are the morons with you?' She sent it to an all too familiar number and waited eagerly for a reply.

Her phone beeped no more then two minutes later and she quickly read the message 'Yes Im alone, the idiots are gone. Y?' Raven didn't bother reply; instead she dialled the number and exited her room, craving the warm and sunny atmosphere of the main room compared to the bleak icy darkness of her room. Not that she didn't love the darkness but she could spend every minute the titans were at home enjoying the darkness of her room, and it was rare that she could truly enjoy the main room without being annoyed by Beast Boy's incessant jokes.

The phone rang three times before a voice answered. "Hello." The person said. Raven could hear heavy guitar riffs and some guy singing in the background and she knew for sure her friend was alone for she never played music as heavy as this when her roommates were around as they were. . .intolerant. . .regarding music that they didn't like, and they hated metal of any kind.

"Hey Jinx it's me, Raven." Raven said as she floated into the main room.
