Emerald eyes scanned the oddness of the scene; ravens were everywhere. They clicked their beaks together and cleaned their wings with the black snaps. Their black eyes stared at the girl meditating and reading a Jack the Ripper murder story: How He Came To Be.

Her legs were in the lotus position and her hood fell limply at her shoulders, her violet hair framing her pale complexioned face, her midnight eyes following every line, every curve of each letter, branding them into her abstract negative mind to form together sentences that pieced a brutal murder of a prostitute into a clear, bloody picture.

BeastBoy sat on the grass with his legs crossed and his green hands on the grass before him in an odd sitting pose, staring at Raven. Raven the negative girl, Raven the half demon, Raven the darkness of the group, Raven the cursed Teen Titan who couldn't express joy, anger, love, lust or any sign of some kind of emotion that could prove she was human, or humanish. He sighed comically, and transformed into a green raven and flapped to her navy blue cloaked shoulder.

Raven did nothing except continue to read the murders with vigor as she didn't even acknowledge BeastBoy who cawed softly atop her shoulder.

The demon rolled her shoulders forward, in an attempt to ward off the green raven who only flapped his wings in order to stay on her shoulder. Turning her head she faced him with an annoyed look and a tic upon her delicately curved, arched eyebrow as she stared within his soul like a raven's black fire eye gleaming into the eyes of its dying prey.

Curling her middle finger against her thumb, she flicked the green raven in his over puffed out chest and went back to reading her horror book while BeastBoy flew threw the air and landed uncomfortably on his head near Cyborg who was grilling steak.

Cyborg fixed stare on the changeling and snorted as he flipped a steak stealthily. "Yo, why do always gotta bother Rae? You know if she blows a fuse, she's not just gonna be satisfied by just killing you, she's gonna come after us," the half robot teenage-boy told the green irritating one wearily.

"Hey, did you notice how ravens stick around her a lot? I mean look at all of them! They're not normal, they look like they read your mind, don't ya think?" he asked the other teen who was now plating the steaks and pouring mounds of homemade barbeque sauce over it.

"BeastBoy, Cyborg," they turned to face their leader, Robin in his usual dark mask with Starfire clinging to his arm with applesauce and dribbles of mustard on her face while she still remained one of the most beautiful creatures on earth. "Where's Raven? There's trouble downtown and Red-X is behind it," he said with his usual bossy arrogant tone of voice.

"Yes, Friend Raven's skill is required to help hold him down while we 'introgate' him," Starfire said cheerfully while she used Robin's cape to wipe the droplets of food off her face.

"C'mon Rob, I just made these steaks, I gotta eat," Cyborg said glaring and whining at his team leader.

"Cyborg, we can eat later-" Robin was cut off when a loud crash of branches, leaves and the sound of a flock of raven flying away, cawing angrily at the intruder.

The four Teen Titans turned at the sudden sound and found Raven breaking branches off with her black energy and flying them at RedX who was throwing disks at her, not really hurting her just clipping. "Titans GO!" Robin yelled, throwing a winged birdarang at RedX who merely blocked it with a metal arm guard.

Cyborg loaded his cannon and fired as Starfire charged forward throwing green energy at RedX. RedX dodged all this easily only to be caught by BeastBoy who was an elephant and thrown at Robin who delivered a round house kick at the thief's head.

Spinning in the air, he threw a red x tape at Starfire; it caught her and wrapped her arms together. He spun and threw a metal ball at BeastBoy; a gum-like substance exploded in sticky fluid and trapped the changeling.

Cyborg yelled and loaded his cannon, shooting the light blue energy at him while Robin flung his staff at RedX who only jumped away and ran. Robin's eyes widened as he realized where RedX was heading to and to whom, "RAVEN!!" he bounded over to the psychic.

Raven spun from her place with helping Starfire out of her binds and her eyes bleached white immediately, no way was a simple human thief going to make a fool of a half demon. "Azarath Metrion Zinthos!" she yelled, her palm blasting a bench filled and coated with black energy at him. RedX ducked quickly and moved to the left when a particularly sharp branch was aimed point end at his stomach.

Swiping his arm wide-spread he quickly taped a red x tape on her mouth. RedX smirked and landed behind her, grabbing her waist and pressing a button when Boy Wonder reached them. RedX could see it; the same thing he had experienced many times before, when the birdie was fighting the same battle against evil and wrong doers with the dark goddess, the essence of nightmares, the half demon witch of darkness, his beautiful, intelligent and stoic Raven.

"You do know how much I want to kill you right now, correct?"

"Yes."

"You know I'm a Teen Titan, right?"

"Yes."

"You know how callous I'll be when they find you and kill you...slowly, correct?"

"If they find me love, and yes, I know."

"Incompetent, ignorant fool."

"Everyone's a fool when in love."

"You're not in love."

"Yes I am."

"No you're not."

"Yes."

"No."

"Yes."

"No. You. Are. Not."

A moment of silence clung to the damp room as Raven continued to glare at her lovesick enemy.

"Yes."

A loud bang filled the room as Robin punched another wall angrily. Cyborg munched on popcorn and lazily played the video game that he had beaten BeastBoy at millions of times.

"Robin, you must calm down. Would you like me to make the Pudding of Calm, or read you the book of Gnorthak's Book of Hoongnaka?" the beautiful alien girl asked kindly as she watched her favorite titan beat the defenseless drywall. With another furious yell of viciousness, he turned and threw a chair at the large screen T.V BeastBoy and Cyborg had been playing their videogame.

"Titans! Listen up! We are going to get Raven back NOW. Does anyone disagree?!" no one said anything as their usually calm, collected and organized leader began losing his mind. "Good. Titans GO!!"

"Will you ever talk to me?"

"..."

"You know, you need to help me on a few jobs, there's a special jewel we need to get, it's a Blue Moon Diamond," RedX said, awaiting her reply.

"...if I get it, will you let me go?"

"Yes."

Raven inhaled deeply, her violet eyes closed briefly, "Where is it?"

RedX smiled as the giant grin came to his face, "Brazil."
