"Rachel?"
"Who'd you expect? The Easter Bunny?" Raven asked. She mentally cursed at herself for using sarcasm.
Now, if you went into Raven's mind, like you have several times in this tale, if you turned left right before the forbidden door, there would be a pathway leading to the biggest part of Raven's mind--Sarcasm's mansion. So it was pretty darn hard for her to give it up. Now, back with 'Rachel'…
"So…let me explain the rules," Robin started, "You will be timed. If you reach the end of the obstacle course before two minutes has passed, you pass. Got it? Oh, and by the way, thanks for the aspirin!"
"Go Rachel!" Beast Boy shouted, waving his arms. Terra crossed her arms, and frowned. She had become rather unsettled with this new friend of the Titans, she could sense a sort of familiarity, but she was no empathy, and thus, dismissed the thought.
"Five."
Raven got on the starting line.
"Four."
Raven prepared to morph.
"Three."
She pushed the thoughts of doubt from her mind.
"Two…"
She glanced at Beast boy.
"GO!" The bell rang, and she was off.
She morphed into a cheetah and started running, when a group of lasers started firing at her, so then she morphed into an armadillo, curled into a ball, and rolled through. She reached a large pit in the ground, which surprised her, and when she was about to fall through, she turned back into human form, and gripped onto the side of the pit, slamming into the wall.
"Crap!"
She put her feet against the wall, and flipped up and over, landing on her feet.
"Okay, you can do this!" she said to herself. She then muttered her famous words, and morphed into a bird…only something went wrong, and she morphed into a cross between an armadillo and a raven. But all the better for her, because she needed all the armor she could get.
She took of in the air, and arrows started shooting at her from mechanic bows. She gasped in air, and then pushed, and spiked feathers flew out of her sides, and crashed the bows.
"I've never seen anyone who's been able to do anything like that." Robin thought aloud. The team obviously agreed.
Meanwhile, Raven had morphed back into a human, and was now in extreme pain, but she did not let that show to the Titans. She came to a walled area. She took a step in, but nothing happened. She took a couple more, and nothing happened. Finally, she took one last step, which triggered a mechanism causing the walls to start to cave in. The nearest exit behind her closed off, and There was a bullet proof glass covering above. So she made a mad dash for the exit ahead.
"What's the fasted animal you can think of Raven? THINK!" She whispered to herself. The walls were becoming to small for her to be a cheetah long enough for it to matter, for she would only fit long enough to take a couple steps. She finally decided a lizard.
"AAAAH!" She cried out in anguish as she morphed. The Titans were watching through a video camera, and had no idea what was going on. They figured she had been practicing using her powers all her life, so that couldn't have been the issue. But boy were they wrong.
Raven morphed into a four inch long lizard, and made a mad dash for the end of the now very thin pathway. Finally she reached the end, and morphed back. Sweat was trickling down her brow, and her skin started to break out in blisters.
"What can I say? …Allergies…yes…blame it on allergies."
She reached the finish, line, and collapsed on the ground.
The Titans dashed down from their power-safe house, and came to meet their friend.
"Water…tired…Aah…" she moaned. Starfire handed her a bottle of water, and Raven gulped it down hastily. Then she sat up, and scratched the back of her head.
"So…how'd I do?" Raven asked nervously.
"One minute and fifty nine seconds. You passed!" Beast boy shouted, and hugged her. Raven felt like she might just die there in his arms.
"What happened to you? You're covered in blisters…" Robin asked.
"Allergies…" Raven lied.
"Rachel, is there something you're not telling us?" Cyborg asked.
"Blisters, and crying out in pain are not symptoms of allergies…" Robin said.
"Let us take friend Rachel to the infirmary!" Starfire declared.
"Okay, good idea Starfire." Robin smiled. Beast Boy helped Raven up, and they took her up to the infirmary.
"So…am I a Titan?" Raven asked once they had her sitting in a bed in the infirmary.
"Well, I couldn't help but notice that you don't have a birth certificate." Robin said, flipping through papers.
"Oh, I was dropped off at an orphanage in New Hampshire when I was very young. The place burned down though." Raven lied. She seemed to be doing it a lot lately, and she didn't particularly like doing it.
"Okay, I have good news. The blisters were caused by over usage of your powers. When did you first start using them?" Cyborg asked, looking at the screen.
"About a month ago." Raven answered.
"So you weren't quite used to using your powers that much, and it caused a break out in your skin. Here, this ointment will help." Cyborg handed her a container of orange cream.
"Well Rachel, it isn't for sure weather you are a Titan or not. Why don't you stay with us for awhile and we can get to know you better?" Robin suggested. The Titans all nodded their heads in agreement. Terra did nothing.
"Sure…I guess I could do that." Raven shrugged. Then, Robin's communicator went off.
"Titans! Trouble!"
