Raven was sitting in her room meditating. It was around 10 pm and everyone was in the living room except her.
Robin was raging another battle on a new multiplayered game, that they had gotten that morning, against Cyborg, who was playing with one hand and trying to stop Beast Boy from grabbing the controller with the other, and Starfire was drinking mustard and watching the TV screen with large eyes.
"How do they get these flashing lights inside the black box" Raven herd Starfire say from the room over.
Raven sighed.
"Another average night" she thought silently.
She gave another sigh and then said to herself
"It's getting late; I'd better go to bed."
She slipped under the covers of her bed and closed her eyes, unaware of a looming shadow outside her small window.
The shadow snickered and than said "Soon my master plan will be complete and Robin will belong to Slade...and I will have Ravens powers for myself... MWAHAHAHAHAAAA!!" with that the figure flew away, her maniacal laughter still ringing trough the night.

NEXT MORNING
Raven woke up at early next morning feeling light headed. She gave a
small yawn and got out of bed and dressed for the day. When she was done
she checked her weirdly shaped alarm clock...
"6:37 am. No one else is
awake... finally some for some time to myself" she thought and quietly left her
room.
She could hear Beast Boy snoring from across the hall and shook her
head with disapproval
"Boys." She muttered as she walked into the
kitchen. She started making herbal tea when crashes were heard in the
entertainment room and above her.
Raven hurried over and saw a sight that almost made her heart stop.
Someone had broken a window and thrown in a torch lit with fire which,
judging by the smell had been drenched in gas. Raven ran out of the room
as the torch started to ignite nearby objects. She hurried to the other
titan's bed room and loudly banged onto each door.
"GET UP THE TOWERS ON
FIRE... HURRY THE WHOLE LIVING ROOM IS IN FLAMES!!" she yelled.
In a mere 2 minutes the torch had already set the room in a blaze
and was getting to work on the ceiling. Not waiting for the other titans
to answer Raven yelled "AZARATH METHRION ZINTHOS!!" causing the doors to
wrench away from their hinges.
2 minutes later, Starfire sleepily stumbled out of her room. "Raven,
why are you knocking down our blocks of wood you call doors... is it
splorgen day already..." she stopped right there in her tracks. »O my
what is that bright red stuff that is giving off such intense heat...?"
"It's fire and unless we get out it will burn us to a crisp" Raven said
banging on the wall were Cyborg's door used to be next to.
By the time the fire made its way trough the kitchen and started on
the hall all the titans were awake. "Alright everyone cover your mouth
and we'll get out of here as fast as we can." Robin said and proceeded
past the still burning entertainment room.
"We'd better be careful I heard some crashes upstairs so there may
be a fire up there as well." Raven said, her voice muffled by her hand.
The fire had stayed in the hall somewhat but the smoke was hot on there
heels.
Suddenly the roof caved in, in front of Robin and ash and smoke were
pummeled onto the unsuspecting titans, they yelled and coughed as more
and more filtered through the opening.
Raven backed up until she was against the wall still coughing and
blindly searching her way through the smoke she ended up against another
wall she felt the wall cave in, her arm scraped against a piece of wall
sticking out causing a deep wound. She felt herself falling. She tried
calling out but the ash had filled her mouth instead causing her to
choke. She couldn't concentrate to use her powers. She just kept falling,
threw the floors that the fire had already gotten rid of.
When the avalanche of smoke and ash stopped everyone breaded a sigh
of relief. "Dudes I thought we were going to be buried in this black
stuff..." Beast Boy said while vainly trying to brush the ash out of his
hair but failing, "Ya I thought we were goners" Cyborg said. 'Everyone
present and accounted for." Robin said and looked around. "Hey where's
Raven?" The titans looked around but couldn't find there friend. They
didn't even notice a Raven sized hole in the wall closer to the debris of
the roof that fell. Suddenly Starfire said (with great difficulty due to
the smoke.) "Why is the room getting darker and darker besides that glow
down the hall?" the other titans looked, "guys we have to get out of here
quickly!" Cyborg said and started lifting aside the debris that was once
the roof. "We have to find Raven... she could be hurt!!" Robin said
surprised at his own words. "What am I saying" he thought silently. "This
is Raven... I'm sure she just found away around the debris and had been
blocked of, even waiting outside trying to put out the fire." But even
with this false assurance he still felt worried, worried enough to go
looking for her. "You guys continue trying to clear the path... I'm going
to go down the hall t look for her." "But Robin, that orange glowing
light is right over there. Will its intense heat not hurt you?" Starfire
said.
Robin looked at the fire surprised to see it had caught up with them
so quickly. "Forget Raven. I'm sure she's fine but unless we don't get a
move on well be toast." Cyborg said and continued lifting away the
remains of the roof with the help of Beast boy and Starfire. Robin sighed
and thought "like Cyborg said she does fine... get a hold of you
this is Raven, miss try-to-make-friends-with-me-and-you-die. She's fine
but right now you got to help them with the roof." With another deep,
worried sigh Robin turned around to help his friends.
MEANWHILE
Raven felt herself land. The pain was so intense it nearly knocked
her out. With great difficulty she turned over onto her stomach and
looked around. The fire had eaten away the floors until the very
basement, which was still burning. She felt some liquid flow down her
arm. She pulled it out from under her and examined it. She found a long
deep gash oozing with red blood from where the wall had hit her. It had
bleed a lot on the way down.
Raven felt herself getting lightheaded from the fall and the loss of
blood. She saw a shadow moving towards her. She tried getting up but fell
down again, pain flashing trough her entire body. "Hello Raven" the voice
said in a mocking tone. Raven tried to get up again but failed with even
more pain than before. She sent a cold glare up at the shadow towering
over her.... and then she blacked out...
