"Yo! Raven! Time for breakfast! Yo! You in there?!" Beastboy shouted out while banging on her door. He had been doing this for about 10 minutes and unfortunately for Raven, she had been awake since he first called her name. During those 10 minutes, she had been brushing her teeth, combing her hair, changing and all those essential getting-ready-for-the-day activities.
Groggily, she got up, opened the door and glared at Beastboy, "I heard you the first time."
"Oh, then why didn't you tell me?" he asked.
"I replied by saying that I heard you," told the ever-so-annoyed- Raven. He cringed under the flare of her eyes.
"Ok, ok, don't get so mad, jeez," Beastboy complained. He raised his hands in the air while walking down the hall. "Robin! Get up! Time for bre- " he stopped shouting as the door slid open.
"You woke ALL of us up," Robin assured. He walked out, being followed by the shape changer.
Downstairs, Cyborg, Starfire, Beastboy and Robin were sitting at the table, eating pancakes, syrup, bacon and eggs with hash browns while French toast remained at the side. All were eating. With a few minutes passed and surprisingly, no word had spoke out at all.
Starfire was uncomfortable with the eerie silence and attempted to speak but the phone rang.
"I shall go fetch it," she chirped. Taking her time, she picked up the phone and began talking, "Hello!? Erick?! What is it that you want?" The boys covered their ears as she screamed as loud as she could.
"You don't have to scream so loud," Cyborg pointed out. Starfire looked at him big-eyed and sighed out an 'oh'.
"Then. what is it you want?" she whispered this time, barely audible if it weren't for Beastboy's critter ears. The rest furrowed their eyebrows. "Huh?" she asked herself as the phone levitated by its self out of her hands. "Hello Erick?" came a monotone voice. Raven glared at Starfire as she also cringed. The empathetic quickly retreated and set herself on the couch. Cyborg, Beastboy and Starfire eagerly ran to the closed door and pressed their ear against it.
"Perhaps this Erick is wanting for Raven on a date?" Starfire inquired. Beastboy and Cyborg stuck out their tongues. Robin shot his sleepy eyes open and spit out the coffee in Beastboy's food.
"Ew!!!!!" the metallic man and the green boy protested.
"That's sick, man-" Beastboy began. He was quickly interrupted.
"I am a man?" Starfire asked, pointing to herself. Beastboy shook his head.
"That's not what I mean!" he yelled.
"Shut up, algae thing. The point is that Erick's A LOT older than Raven. Like 78 years old or something. If they went out, that would be- be." Cyborg tried to explain. The words were on the dangling cliff of his tongue.
"Total rape?" Beastboy finished. Robin bit his tongue to not say anything.
"Exactly!" Cyborg shouted in agreement. Starfire looked at them with an innocent expression.
"However, it is easy to believe that they do like each other. Raven did stay over last night," Starfire detailed, playing detective.
"Oh yeah." they both trailed. Beastboy and Cyborg looked at each other.
"Dude, after we left, they probably went to some fancy Frechanese dinner. That's why Raven didn't eat with us!" Beastboy thought up. Robin stiffened his body.
"And then after they went to a movie!" conjured up Cyborg. The boy wonder winced at the thought and twitched his left eye.
"Afterwards, they traveled back to his "ment of the apart" and followed with a mouth to mouth session!" Starfire joined in. Robin began choking on his food. Beastboy and Cyborg stared, non-blinking at her for awhile. Given another minute, the two cried because of how much they've laughed. "I do not understand. Is that not what most teens do?"
"You mean making out?" Cyborg stated through little fits of laughter and sobs. Their thoughts soon drifted back to Erick and Raven.
"Passionately!" Beastboy added. Robin choked, cringed, and coughed all at once. Another burst of laughing sent the green teen hero to the bathroom. Cyborg's face was tomato red.
As the laughing continued Robin thought thoroughly. 'If Raven and Erick are going out- that's a first for Raven-...' He frowned upon the thought. 'Why the hell would they go out in the first place?' Upon the thought, Raven quickly strode in the room. Robin noticed his team mates ran to sit down.
"You don't have to sit like that. I know you were eaves dropping on me. And we aren't going out- he's 24 and I'm only 15," Raven scolded. They all gave a quirky smile. Robin just pretended to read the news paper.
"Sure," Cyborg quickly interrupted.
"What were you guys talking about?" Beastboy smirked.
"Nothing," she confessed. The others weren't too sure of her. "He wants me to come over later tonight."
"Whatever for?" Starfire asked. She wasn't sure.
Raven only glared at them. "Nothing that concerns you."
"Dinner and a movie?" Cyborg asked. She shook with rage.
"No."
"Don't worry Raven, I support you and Erick going out," Robin stated, hiding himself behind the newspaper. He blushed from jealousy. 'What.. am I doing? It's not like I like her or anything.'
"I'm not going-"
"ERICK AND RAVEN IN A TREE! K-I-S-S-I-N-G! First comes love; second-" Beastboy and Cyborg sang. They were cut short by Raven's fury.
"At least I haven't tried frenching a Barbie," Raven bit back, glaring at Beastboy. Sincerely, she had nothing against Cyborg, except he was a bit . obnoxious. The green teenager stayed silent while Cyborg kept on singing.
"You tried... Frenching a Barbie?" Cyborg asked. Beastboy blushed. "EW!! GROSS!" Starfire laughed, she didn't know what a Barbie was, or what 'frenching' was for that matter. Robin stared at Beastboy wide-eyed.
".Hey! No I didn't!" Beastboy conjured up. He blushed a whole deal.
"Sure- just stay away from me," the cybernetic man ordered.
"I DIDN'T!! IT'S NOT LIKE A DID IT IN A WHILE ANYWAYS!"
"So you did do it?" Robin affirmed.
"No-" he began.
"Yes, you did," Raven confirmed.
"Fine then, just once! But I never tried it again," he pouted.
"You did it three times. Once last year, another time in May and again last week," Raven smirked. Beastboy blushed.
"That's sick," Cyborg admitted. Starfire looked at them, confused.
"That's not the point anyways, dude! We were talking about Raven's boyfriend, remember?!" Beastboy argued back, tapping at his temple. He quickly changed the subject back to Raven.
"Oh yeah," Cyborg agreed. Robin clutched the newspaper, ripping it. He grinded his teeth together. Beastboy smirked as Starfire smiled, finally happy that they were now talking about what she understood.
"Raven, have you arranged a date?" she asked. Raven violently shook her head.
"No, I'm not going out with him. I'm just discussing the search for the serial killer right now," Raven explained. The Tamaran only nodded.
"Sure," Cyborg and Beastboy ended the debate. The telekinetic stomped out of the room and shut the front door behind her.
Gliding slowly above the lake, it took her half an hour to go see Erick.
"Have the cloth ready?" she demanded. He nodded. Erick was careful not to touch with his bare fingers but used tweezers to hold the cloth. When he dropped the cloth, the views took place.
She was in the back of a class. Everyone was patiently watching the TV about ATP and RuBP and what would happen if they were mixed in with 6-C, CO2 and everything else. In front of her was a list, and it appeared to be names. The title simply read: "Girls to Ask". Before she could read the list, someone slightly shook her.
Raven dropped the cloth and looked at Erick.
"What was that for?" Raven asked. She looked at him and noticed someone behind her.
"Robin's here," Erick said.
"What are you doing here?" she insisted asking.
"Just-"
"You aren't here to check if I was going out with Erick, were you?" Raven commanded answers from him.
"No, nothing like that at all," Robin acknowledged. "Just wanted to see if you were alright." Raven nodded.
"M-m-e an-n-uh-d you... d-da-dating?" Erick stammered. He blushed at the thought; "You're too young for me!" he smiled.
"Of course," she replied. She sat on a chair and held out her hand and levitated the cloth to her. "This time, I'll try waking myself up. If I don't in an hour, then you can force me to be awake." Those final words lingered in Robin's mind as he was confused to what was going on.
With delight, Raven found that she was adding to the list. She forced the person to read it with much mind energy. The person she was trying to posses felt a slight tingle and knew it was someone trying to get inside his mind. He didn't know who it was but asked out loud to himself:
"Hey!? GET OUT OF MY HEAD!"
Raven noticed the teacher and students calming him but she stayed forcing his eyes to go down to read the paper.
Meanwhile, Erick explained why Raven had been coming and staying later at his apartment.
'Good,' Robin thought and let out a relaxed sigh.
"Why? Do you like her? Don't worry I'm-" he assured.
"I don't like her," Robin lied. He wasn't really sure of what he thought about Raven.
"It'll come to you!" he grinned.
"Hey it isn't like that!" Robin tried fighting back but Erick just grinned and said nothing until his jaw dropped. "What?"
"Raven." he mumbled.
Raven's eyes were wide open. They hadn't been staring at anything, anyone or anybody. She sat in her chair, her face was lifted and facing Robin. There were no eyes in her sockets, just white in it. A bit scared, he traveled over to Raven and placed a hand on her shoulder.
"Raven?"
No response. It was odd. She usually spoke back but she didn't. It was like she was hypnotized.
"I SAID GET OUT OF MY HEAD! I KNOW YOU'RE THERE! STOP! AGH! MY EYES!" The boy she was possessing screamed.
"Ew. what's wrong with him?" one girl asked. Some other students shrugged.
"Is he being possessed?" another examined. All were around Raven. They stared at her. One student tried to poke her eyes but the teacher slapped his hand away.
"Someone go call for emergency!" She ordered. "Johnson, go now!" that student nodded and ran out the door.
"We need an exorcism in here, not a doctor," someone muttered.
"Alright, then Jackie, you go call the nearest church," the teacher commanded once more.
"Where's the phone book?" she asked. The teacher pointed at her desk as Jackie withdrew her cell phone.
"GET OUT NOW!! GET OUT!! GET OUT!! I KNOW WHO YOU ARE! RAVEN!"
"Raven?" one student quizzed.
"Yeah... the Teen Titan? I don't think she'll do something like that," a boy admired. Raven was disturbed to hear him mutter, "She's hot!" The boys were hooting but she still tried to read the list.
"GET OUT NOW!!" with effort the boy she possessed pushed her out of his mind.
Raven blinked and returned back to normal. Robin placed his hands once more on Raven's shoulders and blushed, withdrawing his hands. She blushed but shook her head. With heavy breaths, she looked into his eye.
"What? What's wrong?" he asked. Erick was behind him and was also concerned.
"He's coming to our tower. I don't know when, I don't how, but he's coming," Raven stopped and breathed in. "He's going to kill me." She rubbed her temples. Sure she had powers, sure she was stronger than an average woman, but- What was she to do?
'OK, OK. he's just human. Nothing to panic about, right?' She thought. She shook the thought away and the fear from her eyes disappeared just as quick.
