------

Midnight.

Raven couldn't sleep. She stared at her clock and the bright red digits seemed to glare back at her.

After she had told the other Titans about her past, she had gone to her room. It wasn't hard to figure out what each of them were thinking.

Robin had more important things on his mind. He was too busy worrying about Slade to think much about what Raven had told him.

Starfire didn't care. She loved Raven, and no matter what she had kept from her, she always would.

Cyborg was upset. He didn't care that Raven was a demon, he just wished that she hadn't kept so many secrets from them.

Beastboy...He just felt betrayed. He had cared about 'Tanya' so much...

Raven sighed and sat up.

Maybe I should go out for a walk or something...

She got up, pulled on her cape and boots, and left her room.

------

Hm...it's a nice night.

Raven looked up at the cloudy night sky.

I guess I should head back.

She heard something and she quickly looked around.

What was that?

Scowling, she clenched her fists and slowly walked towards were the noise had come from.

"Who's there?" She demanded.

Another rustle came from inside an alley. She slowly advanced.

"Damn it..."

It was Cinderblock.

"Didn't we take you down last week?" Raven hissed.

They began to fight and it wasn't long before Cinderblock had thrown Raven into a wall. Her eyes widened and she moved to attack, but he knocked her side again.

Suddenly, Cinderblock was lifted into the air and hurled into a wall of the alley. Raven stared at the scene before her, curious. She wasn't doing this. But then it occurred to her that...

She gasped.

Cinderblock was one giant rock.

Terra!

It looked like Cinderblock was unconscious.

Someone jumped down from one of the buildings forming the alley and landed next to her. In the dim light of the moon, Raven saw that it was indeed Terra.

"Are you okay?" Terra asked, reaching out a hand to help the other girl up.

"What do you want, Terra?" Raven snapped, glaring at her.

Terra frowned. "I...I wanted to...to..."

"To what? Apologize? Save it! You've tried to kill me more times than I can count and you hurt Beastboy!"

"That's why I saved you. I really do like Beastboy, Raven...I never meant to hurt him. We just met and I liked him so much...But I didn't tell him my name because I knew if he found out who I was from you, he'd never talk to me again."

Raven narrowed her eyes. "You saved me. Good for you. But I am not letting you anywhere near Beastboy!"

"I kinda figured you'd say that," Terra sighed.

It was then Raven noticed something.

"What is that?" She pointed to the T on Terra's shirt.

"Oh. Never mind that. I'll go now."

"No, tell me."

"Well...I was hoping that...Maybe if you'd forgive me I could..."

"NO!" Raven hissed. "I would never let you join the Teen Titans! EVER!"

Terra nodded sadly. "I know. Heh. A girl can try. Catch you later...or, not, I guess."

She began to walk out of the alley. Raven scowled and got up to leave.

Wait...what's that noise? Terra's eyes widened and she whipped around.

"RAVEN, LOOK OUT!"

------

"Huh...? What happened? Where am I?" Terra asked, her eyes slowly opening.

She sat up and saw Cyborg smiling down at her.

"Your at Titans' Tower."

"I am? Why?"

"Raven brought you back here. She said you saved her life."

Terra looked down and saw her waist was bandaged up. "She...she did? Really?"

"You didn't think I'd leave you in that alley to die, did you?" Raven asked, leaning in the doorway.

"I did, actually."

Raven shrugged. "Cinderblock hit you hard. I had my communicator and called the others. Starfire got there first and helped me bring him down. Robin and Beastboy are taking him to the police right now."

"How long was I out?"

"Not very long," Cyborg answered. "That was pretty brave of you. You could have been killed."

Terra shrugged one shoulder. "I had to make it up to Raven..."

"You can stay the night," Raven said. "You've earned the right to stay here and rest."

"Thanks, Raven. Hey, where is Starfire, anyways?"

Starfire floated into the room, holding a bowl in her hands. "I am here!" She said, beaming. "I have made you something to eat!"

"Wait, Terra, don't!" Cyborg warned, but Terra had already devoured what had been inside the bowl.

"Wow. It's like sushi and ice-cream!" Terra smiled.

"So you're awake?" Robin asked, walking into the room.

"Yeah..." Terra looked around him and spotted Beastboy, who only stared coldly at her. "I'll be gone tomorrow. Don't worry."

"Goodnight," Cyborg said, and they left her alone.

------

"Mmm...What time is it?" Terra mumbled, walking into the kitchen.

"It's nine," Cyborg said, glancing up at her.

"Oh. Well, thanks for letting me crash. I better be going now."

Terra turned to leave, but was stopped by Beastboy. Soon, she was surrounded by the other Titans.

"Where do you think you're going?" Beastboy asked, smirking.

"Um...What's going on?" Terra's eyes widened.

"Follow us!" Robin said.

They walked down the hall and came to a stop in front of an open door. The Titans didn't seem angry, so Terra doubted they were about to feed her to a bunch of sharks or anything similar. In fact, they all seemed pretty happy...Even Raven. What was going on...?

Raven pushed Terra inside and she gasped.

"What is this?!" Terra asked, awed.

"Your bedroom, silly!" Beastboy giggled.

"My...my bedroom?"

"You saved my life last night, Terra, and risked your own," Raven said, a very small smile tugging at the corners of her lips.

Terra was too shocked to speak.

"Welcome to the Teen Titans!" Robin exclaimed, handing her a communicator.

"You mean it?" Terra's eyes widened even more, if such a thing was possible.

"Come! Let us celebrate by consuming unhealthy snacks!" Starfire suggested.

"...I'll order pizza!" Beastboy said, racing out of the room.

Raven glanced at Terra. "You coming?"

"Yeah! Raven, you guys...I can't thank you enough! I'll work really hard to be a good Titan, I promise!" Terra said...then she latched onto Raven in a hug.

"...Um, that's great. Will you please let go of me now?"

"Sorry!" Terra release her and blushed. "I'll catch up in a sec, okay?"

Robin nodded and they ran after Beastboy.

Raven still stood in the doorway.

"Raven...There's something I need to tell you."

"What?"

"I...I work for Slade now. That's why I stopped trying to kill you."

Raven smirked. "I know."
