(( Chapter 2 ))

Teen Titans GO!

The red glow of sirens lit the night as the Teen Titans chased a gang of bank robbers down several alleys. .

"Azerath Metreon Sythos!" Yelled Raven, her hands emerged into a black flame that also appeared around the waist of gang of robbers. They were sent flying across the street and into a nearby lamppost. They squirmed and wiggled trying to free themselves of her grasp.

"Stealing is not allowed!" She said in her regular monotone voice, fire burning in her eyes, and the guys were sent upward into the light and the rest of the titans watched as their bodies lit up in an electrifying blue glow.

BeastBoy's eyes grew as wide as his fist; he poked Starfire in the chest and pointed,

"Sure is pretty shocking huh Star?"

The alien girl's eyes left her head and examined Raven's anger connection with her powers.

"Please, Raven is... upset?" She whispered into BeastBoy's ear.

"Uh, HELLO! She's RAVEN, this kind of stuff always... GAHHH!"

BeastBoy was interrupted by the lamppost falling on top of him. In the background Cyborg and Robin covered their mouths as they laughed.

Raven approached the green changling that was crushed under the broken down post.

"I am not upset!"

A nearby pick-up truck was sent up into the air and exploded mid-way. BeastBoy ironically took cover under the lamp post that he lay under as the other Titans ran for cover behind a dumpster.

"Whoa, Rae you feeling okay?" Asked Cyborg, eyeing the truck that was now lying on the ground in flames near BeastBoy... who was now freaking out and yelling for someone to get the 'stupid' lamppost off of him.

Raven took a deep breathe, "I just forgot to meditate this morning."

Robin and Starfire peered over at BeastBoy; he was frantically waving his hands around in the air and yelling at the Titans, "HELLO!! Aren't we forgetting something?!!"

"Shall we free him?" ask Starfire.

Raven smirked, "Nah, let's leave him there a just a little while longer..."

-------

Starfire hesitated a moment then let her hand knock on Raven's door. As usual Raven opened the door just enough so you could only see her face.

"What is it Starfire?"

"Raven I am... wondering... the boys have gone 'out' and we seem to have the tower to ourselves... might you wish to join me in a 'slumber' party?" Starfire's usual smile took its place on her face.

"I don't think so..."

Raven paused a moment and watched Starfire's smile begin to form into a sad frown; she couldn't help but feel a bit guilty for her sorrow. Taking a deep breathe she spoke,

"Well I guess it might be fu-"

Starfire didn't even let Raven finish her sentence, she immediately grabbed her by her hands and rushed into the living room of the tower where an hour later... it was surrounded by several different colored pillows and junk food was filled in bowls on the ground. Raven and Starfire were in the middle of the room on the floor braiding each other's hair. Starfire braiding Raven's by hand, and Raven braiding Star's with her 'telekinesis'... (just try and picture black hands...)

"Raven, may I ask you a question?"

"Sure."

"Today you seemed... angered... and when having to chase the thieves, you were unable to control your powers... was your anger the source?"

Raven's eyes narrowed.

"Who said I lost control?"

"BeastBoy was conversing about it over lunch while you were in your room meditating."

Starfire suddenly felt a hard grip on her hair as she was yanked around the room by her hair, Raven still sat in the middle of the room with black fire in her eyes.

"BeastBoy that rat... He is always so nosy-"

In the background Starfire tried to gain Raven's attention.

"Um, excuse me?...eeP! ...Raven? ....rrrrr..... Uh, Raven perhaps you could..."

"I can control my emotions!" Snapped Raven opening her eyes as (poor) Starfire was drug up to the ceiling then released from Raven's grasp (or at least her powers grasp...) and fell to the floor right beside Raven with her body in the air resting on her head.

"Um... Raven?"

Raven spun around and stared at Starfire.

"I'm sorry, I guess I am a bit on the edge lately."

Starfire sat up and put her hand on Raven's shoulder.

"I do not understand about this 'edge' that you are hanging from, but anger is pertained to us all."

A dark black circle appeared under a bowl of popcorn and floated to Raven's side. (She used her powers duh.)

"Yes I know we all get angry Starfire, but my powers have a lot to do with my emotions...You are never angry or upset so you would not understand."

Several moments passed as Starfire thought about what Raven had said.

"I believe that I too have been 'hanging from an edge of a cliff'."

Before Raven could ask Starfire what she had meant by that BeastBoy, Cyborg, and Robin came in the door.

"Man I can't believe you got us kicked out!" yelled Cyborg (to BeastBoy).

BeastBoy's nostril's flared. "It wasn't my fault I'm the best dancer at that club!"

Cyborg and Robin looked at each other then broke out laughing. Steam rose from BeastBoy's reddened face.

"That's not funny! Everyone else was just jealous!"

Robin took a pause from laughing.

"Is that why they all laughed at you when you tried to do the bump?"

"Yea well I..."

BeastBoy stopped arguing and looked at Raven and Starfire's little 'slumber party' area.

"COOL! Does this say movie night or what?!"

The green changling immediately darted toward the TV and began ransacking through the cabinets that held millions and millions of scary, romantic, action, and sci-fi movies... he was too busy searching for a movie to watch that he didn't notice Raven's hands coming toward him. (The same hand type things that braided Star's hair.)

Raven's hands grabbed BeastBoy and put him in an inescapable headlock.

"WAAAAHHHHHH!!!!"

"You like to talk about my 'uncontrollable' anger huh?"

BeastBoy began to frantically wave his arms everywhere. "GAHHHH!!!!"

Robin, Cyborg, and Starfire slowly made their way out of the room; their eyes never leaving the sight of BeastBoy being whirled around the living room and Raven telling him to "say uncle".

Starfire was the last one to leave the room, the sound of the door shutting behind her echoed down the long endless hallway that she had to walk down to get to her room.

"Raven's powers connect to her anger... perhaps... we do have something in common..."
