Hello once again. I know I say R/R if you wish but I mean do it. Since fanfiction took down my account, I lost all the reviews. And everyone loves reviews. Anywho, I'm going to warn you. In the rest of the story you may notice huge influences on it from DBZ and A nightmare on elm street. Even though I didn't even think of either of those when I thought of the characters. Enjoy the next chapter, and please review more now. Oh and Taen is pronounced "Tane". Like sane but with a t. Lengthy chapter ahead, or at least the longest chapter yet.

I do not own Teen Titans... but neither do you! Ha ha!

Chapter 3: New Room and New Answers

Raven's View

'I can not believe I am doing this for a complete stranger' Raven thought to herself. She wasn't even sure what made her volunteer. She had gone down the hall and stopped in her room to put away her poetry, then she went to the next room. Packed full of extra beds, clocks, lamps, and other room junk, Raven was levitating stuff out into the next storage room.

As Raven let her thoughts slowly drift back to Taen, she glanced at the wall clock. It read 10:47. She let out a long sigh as she thought of her missed poetry readings but let herself calm as she felt her tiredness kick in. Raven was a little worried about their new "friend". He didn't look cruel, had the appearance of a super hero, and was fairly polite. However, something was nagging at her. "I can't believe I didn't read his mind!" Raven said out loud in an angry tone. 'Later' She promised herself.

Raven finally cleared out most of the stuff but left an extra bed. Then she decided to add a dresser and a desk, just in case Taen stayed longer than expected. Staring at the job she had done, she put on a fake grin. 'That's me... Teen Titan, crime fighter, home maker?' Raven thought as she left the room to go down the hall. She entered the now packed storage room in the next corridor and started to throw stuff aside. "Where are all the clocks?!?" She asked herself impatiently. She spoke to soon. Raven quickly found a clock and walked back into the new room, placing the clock on the bedside stool.

Raven stretched and yawned as she set the clock. "Woah... 11 'o clock, time for bed," She realized. 'I really did want to read some poetry though... another time perhaps' She thought as she reentered the living room. Things had changed quite dramatically. Beast Boy, Cyborg, and Starfire had gathered around the TV and were watching "Family Guy". The green teen and half-human were both laughing every few seconds. Starfire looked confused at the random form of humor that she show displayed.

Robin and Taen were a different story. The two were sitting separate from all of the others, and both of them looked very serious. "I made your room up down the hallway. It's the one next to mine," Raven said quickly. "Thanks," Taen said, "Goodnight everyone," Raven said quietly. "Night Raven," They all replied.

Raven walked to her room and opened the door, yawning loudly as the door shut behind her. She looked at the decor of her room, admiring the darkness and feel that it seemed to give off. On her dresser she spotted the mirror that led to her mind. 'It all was pretty much in order today' She thought to herself about the emotions. Raven sat down comfortably on her bed edge and removed her cloak. Then she took off her socks and climbed under the warm covers. It was too cold not to wear her leotard, she rarely took it off for bed anyways. 'Maybe Robin can give me some answers tomorrow'. Raven quickly drifted off to sleep, unsure why Taen was on her mind so much.

Robin's View

"Why can't you explain it?" Robin asked. "I told you. It's very complicated and I'm not in the right state of mind to do it," Taen replied. 'I have got a bad feeling about this' Robin thought nervously. "Well sorry if you thought different but... if you're gonna stay here you'll have to explain eventually," Robin ordered. "Fine. Tomorrow I'll tell you everything that I know and if you think I shouldn't stay then I will go. You aren't going to like what I have to say," Taen said in a firm yet sad tone. "I'll be the judge of that," Robin said and smiled slightly.

Taen looked out the window as Robin stared at his friends. Beast Boy was laughing at the show. Cyborg was chuckling at Starfire, who was rolling on the floor. "Glorious! Look at the little monkey!" She said as she pointed at the "evil" monkey on screen. Robin cast a glance at her and smiled. 'I love it when she laughs'. He watched Beast Boy and Cyborg laughing and his grin grew wider. He looked back and found Taen watching him closely.

"You really care about all of them, don't you?" He asked in a carefree tone. Robin stopped for a moment. It seemed like an odd, almost personal, question. Yet Taen asked it as if he already knew the answer. "Yeah, they can be annoying at time, but I love them all." Robin felt his face grow hot as he finished the sentence. 'I just admitted to a stranger that I love someone, half of those someone's being guys'. Robin looked back up and found Taen with a pleased look on his face. "They feel the same way about you, I can tell," He said. 'Not Raven' Robin thought to himself. "Even Raven," Taen added suddenly. "How do you know?" Robin asked quizzically. "She might act like she doesn't care but the truth is she would be lost without her friends," Taen said smartly. His serious tone told Robin that he wasn't making it up.

While an awkward silence commenced, Robin once again found his brain going a mile a minute. 'Maybe he is good after all...' The Boy Wonder thought as Taen watched Family Guy with a puzzled look. "I think I will go to bed," Starfire announced as she stood up to stretch. "Me too," Robin chimed in quickly. "Tomorrow, I wanna know everything, that ok?" Robin asked Taen quickly. "Yeah. I just need to be all here, the blood loss really did me in," Taen replied. "Well g'night then..." Robin said and walked off, hearing a quiet "night" as he reached Starfire at the hall.

""I am worried Robin," Starfire said quietly. "Why is that Star?" Robin asked thoughtfully. "It is about Taen. What if he is evil? Like Slade perhaps? His arrival seems odd, almost timed," Starfire said in a worried tone. "I know it seems odd but I think he's alright," Robin told Starfire reassuringly. She smiled at this. "If you think so then it must be right!" Starfire exclaimed happily. "Goodnight Robin! I shall see you in the morning!" She said and ran off towards her room. Robin stared after her longingly. "Goodnight Star..." He said quietly and went into his room to sleep.

Beast Boy's View

'I am starting to feel a little bit tired' Beast Boy thought as Cyborg droned on about the new T-car he was making. 'I hate commercials' He decided as his friend continued. "It's faster than the last one, sleeker than the last one, and just plain better than the last one!" Cyborg yelled, obviously excited. "Give it a rest Cy, I'm trying to watch this," Beast Boy said in an agitated tone as Family Guy came back on.

Despite the fact that they were watching his favorite show, Beast Boy was still slightly sad. He missed Terra greatly. She had died to save everyone. It was so odd how right when he got close she decided to turn. 'This is all because of Slade' Beast Boy thought angrily. 'I would kill him if he weren't already dead'. He clenched his fists but grinned cruelly at the thought of his enemies death.

Beast Boy looked over to see Taen watching him, a sad expression on his stern face. "Don't like the show?" Beast Boy asked jokingly. "Actually it's my favorite show," Taen replied. Beast Boy wasn't sure if he was messing around or not. He decided on not. "Then why don't you laugh at all?" He asked carefully. "I haven't exactly laughed much since... the battle," Taen replied after some hesitation. Beast Boy stared at him confused. 'Battle?' "Does this involve you getting stabbed in any way, shape, or form?" He asked anxiously. Taen nodded. "That's all I'm saying," He added. Beast Boy watched as he got up and walked towards the hallway. "You'll know everything tomorrow," Taen said mysteriously. Then he walked down the hall, probably to sleep.

"He is one weird guy, and you are right," Cyborg said out of no where. Beast Boy tore himself away from his thoughts. "About what?" He asked. "Taen, he is a lot like Raven," Cyborg said. "Maybe a little nicer though," He added and smiled. "I'm goin to sleep BB, see you in the morning," Cyborg said while yawning. "Yeah, night man!" Beast Boy said. He sat there and thought for a moment. 'I don't think any of us have a good feeling about this'. He heard Cyborg's door shut in the distance and flipped off the TV. Beast Boy walked into his room quickly and laid down, not removing and of his uniform. 'I hope this turns out good' He thought before conking out.

I hope you enjoyed this one. Sorry there weren't any actual answers to Taen's mysterious ways. I promise you'll get some fairly soon. Oh, and anyone lookin for sex scenes or violence relatively soon, you're waiting in vain. Those won't appear until the second half of the story. Sorry to disappoint you. R and R please, I wish for reviews!

Next Chapter: Raven awakes early and has a nice talk with Taen, but is unsure of his true feelings still. The other Titans feel the same. He acts polite and controlled, but is he really?

Keep on reading, and please review for me. Thanks.
