Chapter 4: Preparations

Location: Titans' Tower Time: 8:00 PM

It was one day after hearing about the events at hand from Zalox. Upon arriving back at Titans' Tower, Raven and Specter told the Titans about what Trigon was doing and their duty to stop him. The team did have some second thoughts about leading them go alone, they knew that this fight was only between them and Trigon was their matter and their matter only, since Trigon was Raven's father.

The two fighters then began to train vigorously, working on both their bodies and minds. They trained in that day from 1:00 AM up to 7:30 PM, without stopping for anything. The team did help them, but at times couldn't even keep up with them. They were training their hardest to stop the madman Trigon at any costs.

Raven was in her room, meditating. Yet, something deep inside her was troubling her. She then detected Starfire's presence near her room. "Star." She called out. The door opened and Star poked her head in. "What is it friend Raven?" asked Star. "Come in." said Raven. Star closed the door behind her and walked towards Raven.

"Can I tell you something?" Raven asked Star. "Of course." Star answered. "Well," began Raven," as you know, Trigon is my father." "Yes." Star said. "Well, I'm afraid. I'm afraid of fighting my father. For I know he is evil, yet he is my father." Raven said.

Star looked at her and said, "I see." She then sat next to Raven and said, "Well, Raven, when I was going to fight my sister Blackfire, I was scared too. But, she had been a criminal and, even though she was my sister, I had to fight her." Raven looked at Star and said, "You're right Star." "Glad to help." Star answered. Rave smiled and said, "Thank you." Star replied "I am grateful that I helped you. But, please don't die, for I may have to eat the Pudding of Sorrow." "Don't worry. I won't." Raven said. With that, she floated out of the room.

Meanwhile, in the training room, Specter was practicing his knife throwing at a target. He threw the knife with incredible accuracy, striking it dead center. Just then, Beast Boy entered the training room. "Hey, Specter." He said suddenly. This startled Specter, making him throw a knife towards BB, but it hit the wall next to him, missing him by a few inches.

"Sorry, BB." Specter said. "Its okay." BB said. Specter then sat down on a bench. BB sat across from him. "Been training hard?" BB said as he looked at the slashed poles and knife filled targets. "Yeah." Replied Specter.

"SO," BB began, "you 'like, like' Raven?" "To sum it up, yes." Replied Specter. "Oh." Said BB with a disappointed sound in his voice. "Why do you sound disappointed?" asked Specter. "Well..., BB began," you see... I... she..." Specter butted in and said, "You had crushes on each other, right?" "Yeah," said BB, "but we pretty much got rid of those feelings. You know. She was dark and serious and I was happy and crazy." "I see." Specter said. "But, you know. She's lucky t to be with someone like you." BB said. "Thanks. You're a good... whatever you are." "Yeah. I get that a lot." Replied BB. They shook hands and Specter said, "Well, I better head to bed." Specter said. "Yeah. Later." BB said as he walked out of the room. Specter then followed.

Back in Raven's room, Raven was preparing to go to bed, Just then, as she was finished dressing, she heard a noise. "Hello?" she answered. "BB, if you're in here spying on me again, I'll kill you!" Just then, she turned around and encountered a figure clocked in darkness. She couldn't see this person, yet she could feel an evil presence coming from this person. "How are you?" Raven asked. In a cold voice, the mysterious figure replied, "I'm you."

Who is this figure? What did that person mean by "I'm you"? Is BB a pervert? Some things may be answered in Chapter 5. Please RR!
