"I do not own the Teen Titans... gets the "look" from other people> okay! fine! i do not own the Teen Titans or any other characters that is outside the Teen Titans,"

"So what was all that at first?" Cyborg asked. Raven shrugged.

"If I knew, I would've known how to stop it," she sighed. Her eyes wandered far from the present.

"But what happened? You usually have your powers under control." Robin said. Raven sighed heavily again.

"I know – I just – I just lost it at first." Raven said angrily. All this question and interrogation made Raven feel grumpy and moody.

"Well, you don't have to blast me all the way to the Land of Oz, do you?" Beast Boy grunted rubbing a sore on his arm where he landed. "And that whole melt-down near on the block was just too much."

"I just lost control at first." Raven growled. She started to flip through the book that she had lay lying near her. Her eyes didn't even skim through the pages; she only used the book as an excuse.

"So, you are okay?" Starfire asked.

"Yes." Raven sighed. "So would you all let it GO and make dinner?" she was eager to have them remove their undivided attention to the dinner preparation.

"Oh yes, we must make the meal!" Starfire jumped up and down excitedly. "Shall I make the traditional Blurg Blurg off our planet? We use fungus, three different type of meat, and we use the feet of the chickens!"

"Why not order pizza." Cyborg suggested.

"But we had pizza two days straight." Robin declared. Raven bit he lips not daring to reply, for if she started to talk, their attention might be drawn back to her.

"TOFU SALAD!" Beast Boy called. "Hey! What do you want?" Raven noticed that Beast Boy was practically in her face.

"Go away." Raven replied.

"She wants pizza." Cyborg taunted.

"No. I want all of you to get out of my face!" Raven ordered.

"See, she doesn't want pizza!" Beast Boy fought back. Raven narrowed her eyes. "You want tofu burgers, right?"

"No." she replied.

"Pizza."

"Tofu."

"Pizza!"

"Tofu!"

"PIZZA!"

"TOFU!"

"QUIET!" Raven's voice cut through all of the others. They stared at her with wide eyes. Her strange outburst gave them all chills.

"Okay…how about one pizza and some tofu salad?" Robin suggested.

"Sounds nice." Cyborg and Beast Boy muttered half-heartedly. Starfire smiled at the end of the argument. As Robin left to order their food, a loud chatter arose in the living room. Uncaring, Raven sat down in front of the window/ TV screen and starts meditate. The words flowed clearly and calmly out of her mouth. Her lips tingled slightly with the feel of the power. She kept her soul calm and clean trying to keep all other emotions out.

A loud zap came and the window turned into a big screen with the video game figures on it. The loud music near it shocked Raven causing her to fall. Getting up, she got up and walked angrily out of the loud-sounding room she was once in. "Call me when the food's here." Raven muttered.

"You do not wish to watch the kicking of butt on this electronic device?" Starfire asked. "The action is really fun."

"Star's right. You can't try to get away from the fun intensity of video games!" Cyborg said his half-attention focused on the screen while another half, probably the robotic side, talked to Raven.

"Pass." Raven said and walked out of the room. The door swished closed behind her and muffled the noise. Well, a little bit at least. 'They want me to play games with them? They have to be joking.' She thought as she walked in.

"Peace at last," she was about to say. But she stopped herself. If she said that one of the Titans might've barged into her room doing a victory dance. And that's a chance that she doesn't want to risk. Closing her eyes, she felt her room turns into a galaxy; the place where she use to meditate in Azarath. She chanted the words softly – barely above a whisper. As she went on in the meditation, her voice rose into a soft, but clear, volume. She felt the anger and other emotions in her heart erase leaving something like a clean slate.

Knowing she reached to the end peacefully, she opened her eyes seeing that her room slowly changed back to the way it was. A large bookshelf on one wall, drama masks statues near somewhere. Her bed, a large four-eyed bird figure, her desk…the chest. Shaking off the sudden shudder she walked out of the room. All her emotions are in check; at least this time none of them were barging into her thoughts. They were annoying sometimes…maybe even worse than Beast Boy talking.

Her mind suddenly drifted. Beast Boy. Slapping herself, she felt her face redden. Blood rushed to her and a strange feeling formed in her abdomen. "Arghh," she shook her head angrily. A red-pink-lavender color suddenly spotted in her mind, staining the clean white color of pace. Her head started to feel light – as if there was nothing above her shoulders. Slapping herself again, she forced the feeling to go away. Willing the colors to vanish – but the feeling was strangely familiar.

"RAVEN – " Beast Boy was running straight ahead. "OOF!" Clashing into the cloak girl, he landed on top of her in a shape of a dog. 'He must've changed while he was running.' Raven thought.

'Oh crap. She'll be mad now! What have I done?' Raven suddenly heard. What is this? 'Oh great. Curiosity, get out of my mind!' Raven ordered instantly. Curiosity had the power of mind-reading. And usually, she would come out by herself.

'But don't you want to know what he thinks?' she crooned.

'No! Now go back unless you want me to force you back.' Raven warned.

'Okay – I'm gone.' Curiosity hated it when Raven forces her back. It hurts her when she does it her way. She felt the purple color of Curiosity dissipate. A sudden redness flowed to her face. Beast Boy's face was only inches – maybe even less – away from hers.

"Get off…even as a dog, you weigh a lot." Raven grunted. The dog-boy got off and changed into the familiar green Titan.

"Heh-heh…sorry. Um…I just wanted to tell you that dinner's here." He laughed nervously.

"Okay." Raven got up slowly dusting herself off. "And maybe next time, you can turn into a bird."

"How about a raven?" he suggested.

"Don't push it." Raven said.

"Heh-heh, sorry." Beast Boy laughed. Silently, the walked into the living room to join the rest of the team. Raven glanced sideways at Beast Boy then shook her head suddenly.

'How much longer will you be denying it?' a voice inside her said. Raven closed her eyes and saw pink. Pink. 'You know you like him. And I'm pretty sure he likes you – '

'Just wait until I get you.' Raven threatened.

'C'mon. Y'know he likes you. So go for it!' Happiness urged. Luckily, Happiness can't really do any powers like Curiosity. 'What are you waiting for? Some girl will go after him and then – '

'Azarath…'

'Okay! Okay! I get it! I'm gone!' in a quick pink blur, Happiness disappeared from her mind.

"So…it's either pizza or tofu salad?" Raven said.

"Yes. Unless you wish for me to make the famous Ta – " Starfire started.

"It's okay!" the Titans shouted in unison.

"W-we don't want you to over-exert yourself." Robin stammered. Starfire smiled causing a faint pink blush to rise on her cheeks.

"You are…concerned about me?" Starfire titled her head.

"Uh…" Robin started.

"I guess the love bug did an early hunting." Cyborg snickered. Robin started to turn red as Cyborg and Beast Boy started to chant "K-I-S-S-I-N-G" song.

"Quit being so immature." Raven said.

"Talking about likes, what about you, Beast Boy?" Robin said throwing a deathly glance at Beast Boy. "I'm sure you haven't told – "

"GAHAHAHA!" he yelped at the same time Robin said "Raven" so that they would not overhear. "I told you to keep it on the down low!"

"What are you two talking about?" Cyborg asked suddenly. Beast Boy's face became a deeper shade of green as he started blabbering like an idiot. "Hmm? I think BB likes someone!"

Cyborg gave Raven a look. Raven frowned. 'I won't love again,' she said to herself and got up. Then saying aloud, "I don't love."

"Immature jerks." Raven muttered under her breath. 'What are you waiting for?' Happiness shouted.

"Shut up." Raven ordered. She felt the pink color enter her mind quickly. Loudly and quickly to be more exact. Her temples ached slightly then faded.

'Tell him! He likes you!' Happiness urged.

"When I said, 'shut up', I mean it." Raven replied. Suddenly, a blast of color whirled around her mind. She grabbed her mirror and a whirlwind of color exploded from it. "GAH!" She covered herself protectively as she felt her emotions come out…all but Rage who was kept locked safely.

There stood her emotions: Happiness, Curiosity, Timid, Bravery, Wisdom, Lazy, Envy, and Sarcasm. In the different color and emotions, they all started to talk at once. Which gets annoying.

Timid starts crying and Bravery and Sarcasm goes and "comforts" her. Happiness and Curiosity chattered away about how Raven should confess to BB. Wisdom and Envy started to compare and contrast – pros and cons. And Lazy – well – shouted for them all to shut the hell up.

"Azarath Metrion ZINTHOS!" Raven chanted once and all her emotions flew back into the mirror. "Tell me how you got out." she commanded.

"You let us out, oh Smart One." Sarcasm replied. Raven's eyes glowed white as she bounded Sarcasm's mouth.

"Well, it's what Sarcasm said. In your moment of weakness –or when you weren't paying attention you…" Wisdom started.

"In English please." Bravery retorted. Another argument, honestly, why does she bother?

Turning the mirror over so she won't hear their comments, she started to her bed. Yawning, she took her cloak off and placed it in the hanger near her bed. She pulled her sleeve up and applied another bandaged at the mark that she had. She shivered at the look of it. It didn't hurt her, but…why was she branded so?

She shifted uncomfortably in her bed. Side, back, side, back, side, back; it was still uncomfortable. Her eyes closed and focused hard to sleep. Nothing. She can't sleep. Angry and frustrated, Raven got up and tossed her blanket away. (More like kicked it actually.)

Getting out a spell book, she started to read. There were spells to everything in here: curses (forbidden), healing (takes a lot of energy if you're not given the gift of healing), power (example: Azarath Metrion Zinthos), binding, and many more. Raven flipped to the power section and re-read the part where it taught her how to use her simple spell. The spell she often used: Azarath Metrion Zinthos.

Although she memorized that part, she just wanted to read it to…comfort herself. To make sure that she will never forget this spell. 'How can I forget it?' she thought. 'I use it practically every day.'

The book read:

This spell is simple to cast but hard to master. Learning this may take up to 7 years to master it completely. It took Raven 3 years because of her demon blood. This spell can also release strong powers. If not use carefully, this may overwhelm the caster and take over.

Raven had learned to keep her emotions in check by herself when she read about the Azarathian emotions. In her planet, those who mastered their emotions were free to feel, but as for Raven, she hasn't mastered them all yet. But she knew how to keep them in check, for the time being at least.

Reading on, she suddenly hit a section called: Dream Casting Spells. Raven stared at it slowly. 'Dream Casting?' she thought. Flipping through it, she saw how you could control someone's dream by simple entering into his or her mind. Raven shivered. Entering people's mind, going into Raven's mind is a horrible idea.

You can control what the person is dreaming by simply thinking it yourself. Simple enough, until it got to the spell. The requirement of the spell is a calm, clear mind and a few ingredients that Raven does not have – or never heard of.

She slammed the book shut. Yea, this would definitely help her sleep now. She quickly looks to the back where it usually shows counter spells. Skimming through the pages, she felt her head well up with confusion. The spells were hard to pronounce and the ingredients were written in another language.

Raven placed the book down and tired her best to sleep.

"Raven? Are you awake? Raven! It's afternoon!" Beast Boy shouted knocking on the door. Raven's eyes slowly opened. Yet again, she dreamt of the same reoccurring dream. Her marked hand stained slightly as she forced the door open.

Hair flying everywhere, sleepy eyes and tired voice, she opened the door. She didn't bother saying, "What" to him. She couldn't afford to loose any more energy. Beast Boy stared at her. He didn't know but it just suddenly hit him even more. Raven without a cloak definitely looked…a lot more appealing instead of how she usually conceals her body in her cloak. Raven didn't bother to say anything, her eyes boring into his trying to wait for him to say anything.

"Um…lunch's ready." Beast Boy stuttered. Raven's eyes widen.

"Lunch?" she rasped. Beast Boy nodded. Shivering slightly, she went back into her room and grabbed her cloak and walked out with Beast Boy by her side.

"So, when have you become a late waker?" Beast Boy asked. "From what I know, you use to wake up before the sun rises."

"I didn't get sleep last night," she replied. Her eyes were darkened with drooping circles. "That's all."

"Okay…" he said uncertainly.

"Lunch!" Cyborg cried. An irritating cry that it was. Raven's tiredness brought grumpiness with it. She just sat and glared irritatedly at Cyborg. A plate of food was hurled towards Raven, concentrating on the plate; it stopped and landed in front of her as neatly as possible.

Raven glanced at the food. Honestly, it was unappealing. "Did someone let Starfire cook again?" Raven said. A laughing frenzy started up afterwards as they talked about the time Starfire turned the whole Tower into a dough-like dwelling. (A/N: Never happened before…so yea…)

Totally unexpected, a claw dug into Raven's arm. Raven let out a scream. She pulled away and saw that the attack came from Beast Boy. "Beast boy, what are you doing?" Raven gasped.

He didn't reply, instead, he plunged at Raven. Acting to instinct, Raven created a barrier and knocked off Beast Boy. A chain of cries came asking why Beast Boy was doing this. Even Raven did not know.

"Beast Boy, stop! It's me! Raven!" she cried dodging another swipe from Beast Boy. He turned into a lion and bit Raven hard in the hand.

The blood flowed into Beast Boy's mouth but he didn't care. Flinging him off, Raven stumbled off as the Titans tried to fight him off, the problem was, the other Titan's couldn't move.

"What is wrong? Why is it that we cannot move?" Starfire asked. Raven remembered a paralyzing spell in her book. She knew a counter spell for it, but there wasn't enough time. Beast Boy tried to attack Raven again. Beast Boy returned to his original form with blood dripping from his mouth – Raven's blood.

"Beast Boy!" Raven cried out again. Beast Boy's eyes were blaring a strange white.

"You can't hide," he said. But it was not his voice – it wasn't Beast Boy's voice. But Raven recognized the voice.

"M-Malchior…" Raven winced, "WHAT DID YOU DO?"

"A simple possessing spell, not so hard for an idiot like this," Malchior-controlled-Beast Boy said.

"Azarath Metrion – " Raven started, but Beast Boy hurled himself towards her. "GAH!"

"RAVEN!" the others cried. Raven staggered up. Her eyes turned white with the spell close in her mind.

"Egredior!" Raven let the spell out the same moment Beast Boy tore the right sleeve off. Beast Boy was hurled back as a white smoke left him and dissipated. Raven sank down grabbing her arm. The brand…was still there.

The Titans started to move and Beast Boy looked up, dazed. "W-what happened? And what's this red thing in my mouth?"

"That's blood…" Raven whispered grimly. "My blood. Malchior possessed you…and then attacked me…"

"Your arm…" Robin started. Raven removed her hand and revealed the burn mark. A horrified gasp came to all of them.

The burn mark was the mark of Malchior – a dragon.
