A Light In The Dark

Raven walked in through the door of the Titans Tower. She walked to the couch and fell down on it. She was tired after flying so much.

"So... what did you get at Hot Topic?" BB said eyeing Raven's Hot Topic bags. "Touch anything and you die. And I'm not kidding this time." Raven said as she slowly got up and picked up her bags and went up to her room.

She got there pretty quickly considering how tired she was. She phased through the door and fell onto her bed.

Maybe I'll go see Ren tomorrow... Raven thought as she fell asleep.

The next morning Raven woke up to the sound of birds chirping. Stupid birds. Do they ever shut up? Raven thought as a bird outside her window blew up. Much better. She thought with a slight grin.

Raven got up and reached into one of her Hot Topic bags and pulled out some clothes. She went into the bathroom, changed into some baggy black hip-huggers and a purple turtleneck, got out, and went downstairs.

The other Titans seemed surprised by her change of wardrobe. "Hey Ra..." BB tried to say until Raven cut him off. "Don't say anything." She said as she got herself some herbal tea and sat down on the couch.

She finished her tea and told the other Titans that she was going out for a while. She grabbed the piece of paper that had Ren's address on it and she flew over the waters surrounding the T Tower.

Once she got fairly close to Ren's house she landed and walked towards it. The neighborhood wasn't exactly nice, but Raven kept walking faster hoping to avoid more stares.

She reached Ren's house. Raven rang the doorbell then stepped away from the door. The door slowly opened. She saw Ren as the door opened wider.

"Hi!" Ren said as she hugged Raven practically to death. "You're just as bad as Starfire." Raven managed to say.

"Oh, sorry I kind of get carried away with hugs... Come on in!" Ren said as she motioned Raven inside.

"It's not much but it's got what I need." Ren said as she closed the door behind her. "I like it." Raven said as she looked at the walls, which were covered in artwork. "Did you paint the walls?" Raven asked. "Yeah, but they kind of stink..." Ren said.

"No, they're great! I wish I had some art like this on the walls in my room." Raven said. "You're just saying that." Ren said. "No I'm not just saying it. It's really good." Raven argued.

"You're kidding." Ren said. "For the last time, NO!" Raven yelled and surprisingly nothing blew up.

"Hey, nothing blew up." Raven said. "I know why that is." Ren said. "Why?" Raven asked. "Because, when I was on Azarath I found out that I could cancel out minor bursts of energy from telepaths like yourself." Ren said. "That's cool, now I can actually show some emotion without blowing the city to smithereens." Raven said.

"But still, I'm not good at painting. Those are probably my worst." Ren said. "You have better one?!?!" Raven said not thinking it possible.

"Yeah, of course I have better ones. Let me show you." Ren said as she led Raven into a dark room. Ren flipped the light switch to reveal a room with easels, paint, and canvasses everywhere.

"Wow." Raven said as she walked up to one and traced it. "They're beautiful." Raven said. "Why do you keep saying that?!?" Ren asked, "They're not pretty at all but they're better than the ones in the other room." "You know, you should sell these. You could make lots of money." Raven said.

"You think?" Ren asked. "Yeah, I think so." Raven said. "Well, maybe I'll try that to see if I can get enough money to move out of this dump." Ren said as she looked around the room.

"Well, do you want to see my room?" Ren asked. "Sure." Raven answered.

They walked a few feet until they came to a closed door. Ren opened the door and said, "Watch your step. The original bedroom was where I made my art room, so I made my room in the basement." Ren said as she went down the stairs.

"Nice." Raven said as she followed Ren down the steps.

They reached the bottom of the stairs and Ren flipped the light switch. Light filled the room revealing beautifully painted walls. Mainly paintings of the night and fields of lavender.

Raven stood in awe of the paintings. "It's amazing." Raven said as she looked around the room taking in the paintings.

"They're not that good." Ren said as she grabbed Ravens hand and pulled her to another room that was behind the staircase.

"This is where I keep all of my good paintings!" Ren said as she let go of Ravens hand to go and take a tarp off of one of the paintings.

"This is my best one." Ren said as Raven walked up to it. "I don't get this. How do you make these paintings so good?" Raven asked. "They're not that good." Ren said as she put the tarp back over the painting.

"So...We've had the tour of my house. When do I get to see yours?" Ren said as she and Raven went back upstairs.

"We can go now if you want." Raven said. "That would be awesome!" Ren said as she and Raven went onto Ren's front porch.

"Ok let's go." Raven said as a black bubble like thing surrounded them both and they flew off towards the Titans Tower.
