Beast boy was walking on the beach around the Titan's Tower, when he heard
the noise of a rock bouncing on the water. It was Terra, he was sure;
finally he had found her.
"Hey, what's going on?" he asked her.
On the top of the tower Raven was meditating, when she heard the sound of a rock splashing in the water. She knitted hers brows and tried to found again her concentration. Slowly, she focalized herself in the middle of a rock in the deeper space, in Azerath. She started her monotone, without note, song.
"Azerath, Metrion, Zinthos..."
Another rock splashed in the water. Raven sighed, resigned to go somewhere else, when she heard Beast Boy's voice. She stopped abruptly and moved to the edge of the roof, trying to look what he was doing. She stared at the darkness for a while, and finally saw Beast Boy sitting near the water, by the side of a human figure.
"What are they doing down there? Who's still awake at this hour of night?"
Suddendly, a laugh broke the silence. Raven immediately recognized the owner: it was Terra, and she was laughing with Beast Boy. She felt a strange pain deep down her soul, but she didn't knew why. She looked sadly to the sated figure and her mind emptied itself, without meditating: only sadness was filling it. Minute passed and Raven was still there when the two figures stood up and entered in the tower. She imagined their feet walking into the main room and separate, directed to their own room. Or maybe their feet were walking together to a room, and then... She tried to cancel the thought from her mind and to separate their feet with her psychical powers. It was useless, and she knew, but it was the only thing she could do. The other possibility was going downstairs and interrupt whatever they was doing, but she feared what they might be doing, so she just waited on the roof, caressed by the cold wind of the night.
She stayed out, on the roof, until the early hours of the morning, disgusted by the idea of meeting Beast Boy and Terra. The dawn lightened her face, but not her dark thoughts; and the miracle of a new born sun left Raven indifferent. She was still gazing where B.B and Terra sat when she heard a voice behind her:
"Hey, what are you doing up there?"
She didn't recognized the owner at first and she feared to turn, afraid that it might be B.B. or, worst of all, Terra, so she did nothing. The person behind her moved and got at her side: she turned slowly and sighed with relief: it was Cyborg.
"Hey, Cyborg, I haven't recognized you... what are you doing up there?"
"Hey, I can ask you the same... I thought to go up there and see the dawn before my jogging... And you?"
"Actually, I had been there since last night... I couldn't sleep, I was too... nervous."
Raven looked down to the rocks and sighed; Cyborg looked where she was looking, but saw only rocks and sand: he didn't knew what had happened on those.
"Why you were nervous? You're always controlling yourself..."
"Aw, shut up!" she replied angrily.
"Sorry... I'll go now... take a little rest, because after breakfast Robin want us to train with Terra..."
"Perfect... I really needed this!" said Raven in a sarcastic tone, before leaving Cyborg alone, moving to her room.
