Chapter 7-Nobody's Home

The door creaked open and Raven looked at Candy...but she wasn't there, she was in her bed, dressed in different clothes and a book bag some how appeared beside her bed.

"Raven! I we have been searching for you, we have missed you while you were not with us when we could not find your location" said Starfire squeezing Raven.

"Air...AIR!" said Raven as her lungs where being crushed. Starfire blushed as she let go of Raven.

"So, how has our guest been doing?" asked Cyborg as he checked Candy's scanners.

"I've been going fine, I actually feel energized!" said Candy as she jumped out of her bed. She had a black T-shirt that said "Tomboy" and jean shorts, she also had very dirty sneakers on.

"Uh, how did you get those clothes?" asked Beast Boy drooling. Raven smacked Beast Boy on the head to make him stop slobbering all over his costume, he found any girl amusing.

"Raven was kind enough to go looking for my things that I have left behind, that's why you couldn't find her, right Raven?" said Candy picking up a small blue book bag and winked at Raven.

"Um...oh Yea! It took me a while...soo...you know" mumbled Raven.

"Sense you know about one of our team mates, we would like to know a little about you Candy!" said Robin leaning against a wall.

"Ok...um, what is it that you wanna know?" asked Candy looking in the other direction. "I can't let them know that I have powers, everyone will be in great danger if I tell them..." Candy glanced at Raven for support.

Raven then said "I know a lot about her, she has nothing to hide. She's just a normal teenager." Robin raised his eyebrow. Raven tried to look innocent and Robin fell for it.

"Fine, but I personally want to know how old you are, and where you came from" said Robin.

"I'm 14 and...I didn't really come from any place, I live on the streets" said Candy.

"Have a family?" asked Cyborg.

Candy sighed and walked to the window where she looked toward the sea. "They aren't here" answered Candy.

"Then where are they?" asked Beast Boy.

Candy didn't say anything for a long time then answered "I-I don't know, I never met my family, I was adopted and the people that adopted me never told me that I was adopted and one day I over heard them saying that I was adopted...so I ran away".

"Why would you run away? Where they mean to you or something?" asked Beast Boy.

"I don't want to talk about it" said Candy.

"We just want to know more about Candy..." said Starfire putting her hand on Candy's shoulder.

"I SAID I DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT!" yelled Candy running out of the room.

"I'll get her" said Raven running after her.

Candy had tears in her eyes and her legs were killing her. She was almost out of Jump City. She couldn't trust those Titan's she just couldn't.

I couldn't tell you why she felt that way,
She felt it everyday.
And I couldn't help her,
I just watched her make the same mistakes again

Candy ran, ran as fast as she could "no more trust, I can't even trust Raven anymore" thought Candy

What's wrong, what's wrong now?
Too many, too many problems.
Don't know where she belongs, where she belongs.
She wants to go home, but nobody's home.
It's where she lies, broken inside.
With no place to go, no place to go to dry her eyes.
Broken inside.


Raven flew in the air her cape no longer covered her body, she shivered when a sudden chill came over her. "Where could she be? With her powers she could be in another world!" Then rain pounded her back and she fell on the top of a shopping mall. "I guess I have to walk." Raven began to search the city by foot.


Open your eyes and look outside, find the reasons why.
You've been rejected, and now you can't find what you left behind.
Be strong, be strong now.
Too many, too many problems.
Don't know where she belongs, where she belongs.
She wants to go home, but nobody's home.
It's where she lies, broken inside.
With no place to go, no place to go to dry her eyes.
Broken inside.

Candy, still running, was out of breath. She tripped and her knee began to bleed. Rain poured down on her as she cried. "How come they had to bring that up...how come Anna and Larry ALWAYS come up? How come everyone want's to know about them..."

Her feelings she hides.
Her dreams she can't find.
She's losing her mind.
She's fallen behind.
She can't find her place.
She's losing her faith.
She's fallen from grace.
She's all over the place.
Yeah,oh


"Raven have you found her yet? She could be hurt" said Robin over the communicator.

"Not yet, it's hard to see in the rain" said Raven. "Why did Cyborg have to ask that question, I am going to kill him and Beast Boy when I get back" thought Raven. "CANDY? WHERE ARE YOU?" yelled Raven.


She wants to go home, but nobody's home.
It's where she lies, broken inside.
With no place to go, no place to go to dry her eyes.
Broken inside.

"Raven? Is that you?" asked Candy as Raven ran toward her.

"Everything is going to be OK" said Raven helping her up.

"I'm sorry...whenever someone talks about my "family" I get really upset" said Candy whipping the blood off of her knee.

"I never speak of my family, so I know how you feel" said Raven smiling at Candy.

"But...Raven, what if they find out that I have powers...everyone would be after me then...and I just don't want that! I'm supposed to be undercover, but what if they see through it? What will happen?" cried Candy.

"They won't see through it, not as long as I back you up, they won't." said Raven Candy smiled. "I finally have a good friend" thought Candy.


She's lost inside, lost inside...oh oh
She's lost inside, lost inside...oh oh yeah

OK, I know that was a little sloppy, but I want to get to the good part. The stuff in the italics was the song "Nobody's Home" by Avril Lavigne. Whenever I have italics, it's usally a song. Hoped you liked this chapter! Please R&R! And no flames if you don't like it!
