Raven awoke to no sounds. Her window was closed and the drapes were pulled shut. Her room was very dark. She got out of bed and walked across the hall into the bathroom. She undressed, stepped into the shower, and turned on the faucet. The water was soothing on her freshly rested body.

Ten minutes later she got out. Raven quickly dried and clothed her body. She walked out of her room with slightly moist hair and proceeded down the hall. She got into the elevator and went downstairs.

Raven opened the doors to the living room and, unsurprisingly, saw no one. It was, after all, 6:30 in the morning. Beast Boy wouldn't get up for a few more hours, Robin was probably in the weight room, and Starfire was most likely still asleep. Raven noticed that Cyborg went to sleep only a few hours ago, so he'd still need time to recharge. Raven had yet to learn Ace's sleep patterns.

She put on a pot of tea and levitated in front of the huge window of the Tower. The sun shone from her left and the light cast a shadow that grew larger with each passing minute as the sun rose. She meditated.

Beast Boy walked through the doors. Raven sensed him and opened her eyes, not trusting her emotions, for how could Beast Boy be awake this early? She turned around and saw him rummaging through the fridge.

"Hey Rae," he said, not looking up.

"What are you doing up so early?"

"Couldn't sleep. I think I had enough rest during that movie last night. I woke up at four and didn't go back to sleep." He pulled out a plastic container filled with tofu, and shoved it into the microwave loudly. Raven noticed his cacophonous words and touched down.

"You okay?" she asked sincerely. He looked at her.

"Yeah, I'm fine." Beast Boy grabbed his food out of the microwave and began stabbing at it with a fork.

"You sure? That tofu isn't going to get any deader, you know. Not that it was ever alive…" Beast Boy brushed that last comment off.

"Okay." He put down his fork and swallowed what was left of the tofu in his mouth. "I had a bad dream, okay?"

"About what?"

"I wish I could tell you Rae," he replied, shaking his head. "But I can't really remember it. It was really dark, but that's it. I just remember feeling scared, okay?" Raven looked at him, concerned.

"Dark, huh?" She pondered for a moment. "Have you ever had this dream before?"

"Yeah, actually. Just the night before last. I thought it was just a simple bad dream. I didn't know it would… haunt me again." Raven studied his choice of words.

"Haunted?"

"Yeah, haunted. It felt like I had this dream before, but I can't remember ever dreaming it." Raven looked at him, thoughts racing through her mind, and then checked the clock. It was still hours before anyone normally came down.

"Do you want me to help you figure out your dream?" she asked. He looked at her again.

"What do you mean?"

"I can scan your mind, your subconscious, and help understand why you had this dream."

"Thanks Rae, but it's only happened twice, I'm sure it's not that big of a deal." He turned back to his tofu. She glared at him, so much that he turned around after feeling her eyes on him.

"Beast Boy, this dream you had… it doesn't seem like a dream," she said, "It sounds like a vision."

"A vision?"

"Yes," she said, now with more confidence. "I often have visions more than once before they actually occur. Every time I get one, it feels like I've gotten it before. It seems familiar. Then it happens." Beast Boy didn't speak while she spoke. He was thinking.

"How long will it be until the "vision" actually happens?"

"I don't know. As the visions get stronger, and they become clearer, the closer it'll be until it comes true." Raven closed her eyes and though for a moment. Beast Boy spoke up.

"When did your last vision come true?" he asked innocently. She remained with her eyes closed.

"A few days ago." She opened her eyes and turned her head towards him again.

"What was it about?"

"Ace."

"Oh."

"I saw him, coming into the Tower, and the rest is blurred. When we walked into the Tower after your race, Ace turned to me and smiled. He did that in my vision."

"Well that doesn't sound very urgent," said Beast Boy, frowning.

"Not all visions have to be." She took her teapot off of the stove, which was done a while ago. She added two tea bags and placed it on the table.

Beast Boy scooped some tofu into his mouth, swallowed, and cleared his throat.

"When was your last… urgent… vision?" He asked. She poured a cup of tea for herself. She thought.

"I can't tell you."

"Aww c'mon Rae!" he whined, disappointed. "Who am I going to tell?"

"No." She sipped her scalding tea.

"Did it already happen?" He asked, hoping for another clue.

"Yes," she replied, after a brief pause.

"Do I know about it?"

She paused again. "Yes."

Beast Boy smiled. He could tell that Raven resisted telling him because she didn't want to say too much. It wasn't that she couldn't remember.

"Okay…" he began. "Who was involved?"

"I'm not going to play twenty-questions with you Beast Boy," retorted Raven, blowing on her tea. "I'm only telling you information that you could never guess the outcome from."

"So… it's someone I know…" he said, holding a grin.

"Beast Boy…" said Raven, annoyed.

"Was it Robin?"

"No."

"Starfire?"

"No."

"Cy?"

"Beast Boy, cut it out!"

"Was it me or you?" She paused a moment, then yelled:

"Stop right now." He grinned wider. He knew he was getting close.

"Slade?"

"Ugh," she sighed.

"Terra?"

Raven was speechless for only a moment. She then said, "Don't say anything else."

"Okay, so it was something to do with Terra, and me or you," he explained, feeling smart. "So which one?"

"Which what?" snarled Raven, annoyed that he had figured that much out. She kicked herself for being so easily manipulated.

"Was it me or you involved with Terra?" His voice got softer as he said Terra's name.

"It was you."

"Oh." He paused. "What'd you see?"

"Nothing," she replied. Raven sipped her tea, which was still very hot. She put her hand over the top of the cup, blocking some of the heat, and warming her hand, for no apparent reason. Beast Boy could tell her mind was focused on her vision.

"Raven," he said. She looked at him. "Tell me. I deserve to know."

"I really can't tell you Beast Boy," she replied, looking back down at her tea.

"Please, Raven," he asked, trying to sound less curious than he was. "If you tell me, I'll let you figure out my dream." Raven raised a sarcastic eyebrow.

"I'm not all that thrilled about exploring your mind Beast Boy," she said. "I was trying to help you." He rethought what he was about to say. He stopped all thoughts of continuing to pester her.

"I want you to help me Rae," he said, staring into her eyes as she lifted her head. "Please?"

"I'm not going to tell you my vision Beast Boy," she said, still doubtful.

"I don't care anymore. I just want your help." Beast Boy looked sincere. Raven had always wanted to feel needed. She shrugged.

"Alright then." Beast Boy smiled. He scooted closer to her.

"Close your eyes. Relax," she commanded. She placed a hand on his forehead and chanted:

"Azarath… Metrion… Zinth-" she was cut off by the loving room doors opening and an ecstatic Starfire flying in.

"Good morning friends!" she squealed. "Have you both consumed the fast-breaking meal?" Raven removed her hand quickly and Beast Boy's eyes shot open.

"Yeah, Star, I ate," said Beast Boy, getting up to clean his plastic container still halfway full of tofu. Raven sipped her tea silently.

"Oh, how dreadful!" said Starfire, now holding a bowl of brown pudding-like food. "I had wished to prepare a delicious feast for us." Raven rolled her eyes.

"Oh, well," said Beast Boy. "Thanks for the thought anyways. Raven?" Raven looked up from her tea.

"Uh, can you meet me in my room later?" She nodded. Starfire was blissfully looking the other way.

"Thanks." He left the room, practically skipping. Ace walked through the doors as Beast Boy left.

"Hey Raven, hey Starfire," he said casually. Ace walked over to where Starfire was preparing the food and sat down at the counter.

"Glorious mornings to you, friend," replied Starfire.

"Hello," said Raven, taking another sip of her tea. Robin walked into the room with a towel around his neck, Cyborg following shortly after. They were in mid-discussion.

"No way, man," said Cyborg. "Level 8 is still considered beginners. Just 'cause you beat it in a few minutes doesn't make you any better!"

"What are you two fighting about now?" asked Raven.

"Cyborg says level 8 on the simulator is novice level," replied Robin. "I beg to differ."

"Isn't level 8 the one with all the boulders?" she asked.

"Yeah, but Cy has a sonic cannon that can blast through them. I have to climb over each one." Raven looked at him.

"Whatever." She got up from her seat, put her cup away, and walked out of the room. Robin and Cyborg continued to argue. Starfire has just finished preparing the pudding-dish and had placed bowls in front of Ace, Robin, and Cyborg. She filled each of their bowls and smiled. They just stared at it.

"Thanks… Star…" They all said.

Beast Boy was sitting on his bottom bunk patiently. His hands were folded and he was trying to remember his dream from the night before. His thoughts were clouded. Raven knocked on the door.

"Come in."

"Hi Beast Boy." She walked in, stumbling over a pile of laundry.

"Hey, Rae."

"Ready to try it again?" She pulled up a chair to his bed, right next to where he was sitting.

"Yeah," he replied. He scooted a little bit more towards her, and she reached out her hand. She touched his forehead and chanted again:

"Azarath, Metrion, Zinthos…" Beast Boy's expression changed from calm to nervous. The pupils concealed by his eyelids were dashing around in their sockets. Raven got a clear idea of his dream.

Darkness was evident. It felt like he was walking. Raven couldn't tell who it was walking, but it wasn't Beast Boy, although it felt that way. He walked until some light was visible. It was a red light, all above him. The sky was red. The sight that Raven was trying to look at became clearer. She saw dark clouds, possibly made of the debris floating around. Raven could not help but feel like this dream was familiar. Then she saw him. Trigon. The monster that was her father rose from behind the debris and cupped his hands together. He lifted his massive arms and swung in Beast Boy/ Raven's direction. It went white.

Raven was thrown across the room as she came to. Beast Boy's eyes shot open.

"What'd you see?" he demanded, holding his head with his hand. Raven didn't speak. She sat against the wall with her eyes open, looking at the ground.

"Raven?"

"I saw my father." Beast Boy's eyes grew wide.

"What? How is that possible?"

"I don't know," she replied, tears forming. "I'm sure it was a vision, Beast Boy, but it really did feet more like a memory. When you were fighting my father, did he ever… rise from ashes? Or swing his arms and attack you?"

Beast Boy thought. "No, he didn't." Raven's face remained emotionless.

"Raven," said Beast Boy. "I think it was a memory."

"How can you be sure?" she asked.

"It just… felt like one. But it's not my memory. Definitely not mine."

She looked at him. He opened his mouth to speak:

"I think it's yours."
