It was around one in the afternoon. Starfire wandered into the living room. She looked briefly at Cyborg and Beast boy who were playing video games, her eyes then turned to Raven's usually spot near the window, but there was no Raven.
Starfire scrunched up her face and walked further into the living room.
"Have you seen Raven? I have not seen her since early this morning?" Starfire asked.
"Nah."/ "Nuh, uh." Came the responses of the two video crazed boys. Starfire shook her head and walked out of the living room. She began to float until she came across the training room.
"Robin?" She poked her head in and heard the weights clink with the floor.
"Yeah?" Starfire went further into the room and saw Robin in the corner near some weights. He was in a pair of shorts and a wife-beater. He smiled as he saw Starfire. "What's up?"
Starfire looked at the ceiling and back to the boy wonder. "The roof?" Robin's smile widen, as he chuckled.
"I meant with you."
"Oh… I guess… nothing?" Starfire was easily getting confused. She shook her head, and looked at the teen leader. "Have you seen Raven recently?"
Robin shook his head. "I haven't seen her since yesterday afternoon."
"Oh." Starfire sat on one of the benches and looked over at Robin. "I am worried for her. I believe she is in her room, and if she is, she's been there all morning."
"That's who Raven is Star. Don't worry about her, she's probably mediating, or reading. Who knows?" Robin shrugged and patted Starfire's shoulder.
"She was acting very weird this morning though. Like… nervous. I don't know." Starfire said with an aggravated sigh.
"Don't worry about Star, she knows if she needs us we're here for her." Robin smiled and squeezed the girl's shoulder. Starfire looked at him and then back at the floor.

Raven walked along the dark trails of her mind. She had yet to come across any of her emotional counterparts. She knew right now confusion was a dominate emotion because she walked along the dark road that twisted and turned, and seemed to never end.
She kicked a small rock and watched as it rolled along the twisty trail. She sighed and lifted up her hooded head. She had been "thinking" for several hours. And other then the conclusion of having a child with Beast Boy and that her child will probably be taken over by her father one day, she was pretty much at her wit's end.
Whether she admitted it to anyone else, she did have a small crush on the changeling. Ever since he had come into her mind a couple of years ago. She knew he had a crush on the blonde beauty, and probably a small romance with her. However, they hadn't heard from Terra since the defeat of Slade last year. And to her current knowledge, the green changeling didn't have any lingering feelings for the Rock and Roll child.
It was funny she denied every feeling, every emotion that circled Beast Boy, and now, obviously, the boy had to have some sort-of emotion towards her, considering they were to have a child one day. Or, well, she hoped they have a child one day. Her premonitions were generally on target, but she could change the future.
And if her child was to turn evil, did she still want to marry Beast Boy? It was getting too complicated.
Her thoughts drifted to her father, for lack of a better word. Was he going to interfere with her child's life? According to "Ebony" Raven and Beast Boy "got rid" of Trigon. This was all confusing and annoying. Raven had to find her damn center. Or the chances of her leaving the mirror were slim.
'Err… why the hell is this bothering me!' She mental shouted. She was allowed to be angry, the mirror would not implode if her emotions were set free.
"Because, you figured out BB loves you and you're going to have a child with him, AND the kid is gonna turn on you like a fat guy on a diet!" Raven spun around to meet her counterpart, Anger. In all her glory, Anger stood, smirking with her red cape and hood gleaming.
The scenery went from Dark confusing trails to a dark forest, with red leaved trees.
"Don't sneak up on me like that." Raven stated, calmly. She looked at the red-hooded counterpart.
"Oh come off it Raven, you're angry that you can't keep us in check on the outside world. You're angry that you learned in the future, you screw up with the kid. You're angry that you love him, and you want to marry him!" Anger smirked, Raven's eyes turned red as she glared upon her counterpart. "Admit it."
"No." Anger smirked even more and shrugged her shoulders, disappearing into the red leaves.
Raven's eyes returned to their normal black color as she shook her head. She walked along the red forest, staring up at the hood of red leaves.
She was angry, she knew it, she didn't want to admit it, oh but she knew it.
Her thoughts went back to the tiny five-yr old. Her future daughter, at least she hoped her future daughter. The child's dark purple hair, taken from Raven's dark blue-ish hair, forest green eyes like her father, pale skin like her mother, and a personality that had to stem from her father's side. Raven smiled upon thinking of the child.
Even as a teenager, her looks stayed the same, only maturing. She obviously had Raven's mystical powers but also the ability to change into animals.
'Older Star is right, how could I give a child like that, a normal life?' Raven mused to herself as she began to float along the darken foot trails.
*
Beast Boy walked along the corridors with his soda in hand. They had enjoyed a delicious Pizza, and his other three fellow Titans went off to do their own thing. There was just one thing missing, he hadn't heard from or seen Raven since this morning when he bumped into her.
Starfire had searched the Tower and concluded that Raven locked herself into her bedroom.
There was no doubt that the demonic super hero had indeed locked herself in her room for privacy or meditation. But usually she would be out wandering the tower complaining of how obnoxious he and Cyborg were being.
Beast boy managed to find himself in front of Raven's door and knocked. He wanted to check to make sure she was ok.
"Raven?" He called. But there was no answer, nothing. He reached for the door handle. It might have been the stupidest thing he'd do for probably the rest of his life. But he was sincerely concerned for the girl.
He turned the knob and attempted to open the door but it was lock. Not finding this unusual, Beast boy tried pushing the door but it wouldn't budge.
Time to take some serious action.
*
Raven was back to walking around the dark twisted trails of confusion. After a wonderful verbal fight with Anger, and admitting she was some-what, well very much so, angry, she was free to wallow in confusion.
There was no easy way around anything, anymore. She was part evil, her child would be a quarter evil. There was no reason not to believe her father could take over her child. But hadn't she and Beast Boy gotten rid of the demon lunatic?
Raven let out a small growl. She took a deep breath and changed thought patterns.
Beast Boy.
She smiled a bit. It had been a long time coming, she could freely admit, to herself, she liked the green changeling. He was funny, cute, sweet, and a great friend. There was no doubt he'd be a terrific father. Raven smiled even more as she played with his nickname in her head.
"BB!" Raven turned to see a smiling Happy counterpart.
'There's no such thing as a quiet moment to yourself.' Raven thought as she looked at the pink clad counterpart.
"Hi!" The perky, girlie voice said. Raven rolled her eyes.
"Hi." She said, monotoned.
"So… thinking about BB?" Happy smiled, and then giggled.
"I suppose I was." Raven stated, out of all her emotions Happy had to be the most over-bearing.
"Yeah, he's a cutie. I've liked him for a while. Always got me to laugh. I hope he's exactly the same in the future. Man, our kid is so cute! Isn't she? Those beautiful eyes? Dude, I'll be thinking of him every time I see her!" Happy babbled about. Raven looked at her counterpart.
"You know… the future can change… easily…" Raven stated as the girl named off random qualities of "BB."
"Eh, it COULD, but I highly doubt it. I knew he liked me." Happy went about smiling and giggling.
"I'm leaving." Raven stated, beginning to walk straight.
"You know… you're allowed to be happy Raven." Raven turned around and looked at the girl. "You are. I know it's hard to find a balance with control and freedom. But it won't kill you to smile."
'Yeah, but it might kill someone else.' Raven mused, and then turned and continued walking. Happy frowned a bit, and then gave a bright smile, skipping in the opposite direction.
*
Beast Boy rammed into the door. He fell back as a bump formed on his smooth forehead. He went from an elephant back to his human form. He let out a tired breath and transformed into a T-Rex ready to beat down the door.
He raced towards the door, only to fall back on his behind as Beast Boy. He stayed sitting, deciding what animal to be next.
*
"Raven…" The girl turned around to see a light gray colored figure standing over her as she sat near a black lake.
"Who are you?" Raven asked.
"I'm your void." Raven looked at the light gray counter part.
"My void?" Raven asked, confusion present.
"I'm an emotion you haven't acquired yet." The gray figure replied sitting next to Raven. "But soon enough, that's why you're already preparing for me."
"What emotion?" Raven asked.
"Hmm… not sure, they didn't give me my job description yet. Maybe Love, curiosity, envy, there's a million things I could be." The gray figure smiled softly.
"Great." Raven mused, unhappily.
"You'll find out soon enough." The gray figure stated, leaning back on her arms. "So, you got a taste of the future."
"Yes, and it was rather bitter for me." Raven stated.
"Yes, well, things such as that usually are bitter." The gray figure laughed. "Are you going to tell the boy about the child?"
"I don't know." Raven mused. She really didn't know what she was going to do about anything.
"Why are you so worried about something that's not going to happen for such a long time?" The gray figured asked. Raven looked at her and shrugged slightly.
"Because, it was so real, I don't want her to turn evil." Raven thought about it, she really didn't know why she was thinking about something that won't happen for a while.
"Do you think its maybe because it hits so close to home?" Raven looked at the girl. She shrugged again. "Didn't you want to be normal?"
"…No…" Raven stated, looking at the black lake.
"I see. You should tell the boy." The gray figure smiled and stood up. "Besides it's not only your child, it's his as well."
Raven looked at the lake and then back to where the gray figure stood, but she was already gone.
"I don't want to tell him." Raven mused to herself. "I wish I didn't know,"
*
Beast boy stared at the door, still trying to figure out how to get into the room. By now, Raven would be going all demon on him for making so much noise, yet she wasn't there.
"Beast Boy… why not turn into something that goes under, not through?" Beast boy turned, and smiled at a smirking Starfire.
"Because, I didn't think of that." Beast boy turned into a small mouse and slid under the door.
"Foolishly in love." Starfire laughed to herself.
*
Raven was currently lying on the grass in happy land. She was watching the clouds move along the sky.
"So?" Raven looked at Happy, who was smiling from ear to ear. "Are you going to tell him?"
"Why are you bothering me?" Raven asked.
"Because… I want to know." Raven shook her head.
"I want to figure it out a little more before I tell him anything, maybe I'll get another premonition." Raven stated.
"You should tell him A.S.A.P." Happy pointed out. Raven looked at her.
"I'll think about it." Raven said, looking back at the sky.
"No you won't." Happy mused, smiling. Raven shook her head.
*
"Wakey, wakey?" Beast boy called out into the dark room. He turned into a cat allowing his night vision to take over. He didn't see, hear, or even sense another being in the room with him.
This was not fun at all.
He prowled along the floor until he came across Raven's infamous mirror. He peered into the glass and looked at his reflection.
'I wonder…'
*
Raven walked along the dark rock trail. She decided not to worry about the premonition until she absolutely had too. At least until she had another one. She might have just concocted the dream out of stress, yes, that was it. Stress.
"Oh mommy dearest." Raven spun around, but saw no one.
"Hello?" Raven called out.
"Come on mom." Raven turned back around, once again, nothing.
"Who's there?" Raven's eyes began to glow a deep red. 'What the hell is going on?'
"Anger never befitted you mother." Raven began making the energy balls. "Tsk, tsk, tsk…" A tall woman with long hair stood looking at Raven.
"Ebony?" Raven asked, unsurely.
"I knew you had a dark side, but this is ridiculous." Ebony walked along the trails of Raven's mind. "God, look at you, I knew you were a little weirdo at this age. But come on. I can't just have a normal sixteen-yr-old mother. I can't wait to see dad."
"What are you doing here?" Raven asked, confused.
"Warning you." Ebony looked at her nails. "I figured if I found the right wave-length I could send a long distance message to you."
"What are you talking about?" Raven asked. Her head pounding.
"Soon enough mommy dearest. Oh and tell Gar hi for me." And with an evil smirk, Ebony was gone. Raven stood mouth ajar and head pounding.
'What the hell is going on?!' She mentally screamed.
"Um… who was that? And why does she want to say hi to me?" Raven spun around to meet the same green eyes that would haunt her nightmares. She didn't have a clue what to say. She closed her eyes.
'Oh crap.'
