~Several months later~

"Ooooh! Are you serious? Is this true? Are we really going to be living in this?"

Terra chuckled as she and the rest of their comrades stood before a huge, magnificent T-shaped tower that overlooked the entire city, sitting on the top of a rock in the middle of a very large lake. Cyborg, Robin, Nightwalker and Raven had worked for what seemed like ages to build this new home for their newly-formed team. And now, it was ready to move in, neatly touched up and furnished.

"Just don't thrash anything," Raven muttered, as she brushed past Beast Boy.

"Hey! Why would I want to thrash our new home anyway?" Beast Boy protested.

"Who knows, with someone like you," Raven said under her breath. In the time that she had come to know him, she had discovered that Beast Boy was a natural jokester with a most irritating love of jokes and comedy. It was probably possible, Raven thought, for Beast Boy to make a living as a comedian if he didn't have any superpowers.

"Well, Titans, it's time to check it out!" Cyborg announced, grinning like a proud father showing off his newborn baby.

Beast Boy got ready to charge in.

"Whoa there!" Cyborg exclaimed, grabbing him by the back of his shirt. "No stampeding in there like a bull! We spent ages building the tower, you know! No violence allowed in there!"

"Dude, I was just being excited!" Beast Boy protested in his innocent voice, spreading his hands.

Glaring at Beast Boy, Raven cuffed him on the ear.

"Hey!"

"Friends, why don't we enter into the house and check it out?" Starfire suggested brightly.

Chuckling, Cyborg led the way into the compound, using a series of high-tech keys and keycard locks to enter the house. Cheers and gasps of amazement and delight immediately rang out as they eagerly examined their new home. Beast Boy, as expected, was immediately drawn to the very large TV screen and the video games and CD's. Starfire hovered about in the kitchen to look for some food, while Terra decided to check out her very earthy-looking room. Only Raven seemed more aloof than usual, hanging back in silence.

What's wrong?

Am I expected to yell and cheer and jump about like them? Raven retorted.

I never said that. Don't hide it, Raven. You know I know you better than that. Something's bothering you, right?

This tower is just too…well…

What?

When I saw a vision of Trigon on earth, he was sitting on a huge T-shaped building. And THIS is that building, I'm sure. What am I getting the Titans into?

You can't always act on your visions, you know, Nightwalker said sensibly. If you did, you'd get nowhere in life. I'm sure that meant nothing much. There could be plenty of other T-shaped towers in the world.

It was this one, Raven insisted. The location and everything here is exactly like the one I saw in that vision! I shouldn't…

Stop worrying for once. We've just joined the team, remember? How can you even think about leaving now?

It's for their good, remember.

Enough of that, Nightwalker said mildly. Don't live your life like that. Besides, I'm sure we can take care of it together when it comes. Now, why don't we go check out our rooms?

With obvious reluctance, Raven walked down the corridors with Nightwalker until they found the doors that bore their name. As the door to Raven's room slid open, she noted with relief that her room had been done up the way she had wanted it to be. The walls and ceiling were painted black, and the very few furnishings somber and somewhat colourless. Later on, she would add the remaining necessities according to her taste.

Nightwalker's room had been done according to his liking too, the walls and ceiling a shade of dark blue. Two large bowls of water had been placed on the side table, just as he had requested. The bed cover was of a similar shade, and embroidered with the Azarathian symbols of the six elements. Looking at each other, Raven and Nightwalker gave each other a look of mutual satisfaction.

"At least it's been done up to our liking," Raven said.

"What, you were afraid that it wouldn't be?"

Starfire came flying towards them at that moment, her face all smiles. "Friends, how do you like your rooms?" she asked cheerfully. "Do you like them?"

"It's good enough," Raven replied politely.

"And so is mine," Nightwalker added.

"Do you want to check out the rest of the house too?"

"We'll come in…"

They were interrupted at that moment by a deafeningly loud alarm which reverberated throughout the entire Tower, followed by the flashes of a brilliant red siren. Starfire gasped aloud, her bright green eyes widening as she exclaimed, "That means there is another bad guy in the city! Cyborg installed that alarm to warn us."

"Titans!" Robin's voice could already be heard bellowing orders loudly. "There's a villain on the loose! Let's move!"

In a flash, Raven, Nightwalker and Starfire flew out into the main hall, where Robin, Terra, Cyborg and Beast Boy had already congregated. The seven of them cast each other a single look, and in unison, they begin to head to the door.

"Titans, go!"

Yup, I know this was short, but then, it was a really last-minute idea, since I thought I'd better mention how they first got their home and all.

Thank you very much to everyone who reviewed!

DreamChaser: good question. I haven't really thought about whether to show that moment between Robin and Raven yet. I'll see how things go, and I'll put it in if I think it suits the flow.
