Arella had never traveled to Azarath when she was pregent with Raven. Instead she decieded to stay in Jump city and try to hide the maddness that she knew her child would bestow upon the world from her child. Raven grew up with her powers always being an outcast from everyone. She still had her powers and that's why she had to keep her emotions in check to keep control of her powers. But she knews nothing of Trigon, Azarath, or being a half demon. Well except for what she knew as legends from ancient books that her mother had given to her. She had heard of the Teen Titans and had once seen them fight a battle, but had never thought of joining them because she knew that they would be like everyone else and think she was creepy. When she was younger she had always sercertly thought that Beast Boy was cute.

Raven's 20 and 5'11" and in college. She's still and outcast. Beast Boy's 18 and 6'1"still a member of the Titans. Starfire is 19 and 5'11"also a member of the Titans. Robin is 20 and 6'0", and Cyborg is 22 and still 6'0". The Team isn't called The Teen Titans anymore It's just The Titans.

Chapter 9

Titan Gone Missing

That morning after the sun rose Beast Boy couldn't bring himself to fall back to sleep. He kept thinking. 'Did she hear what I said? If she hadn't would that of happened? Or was it just because she was vunerable? If she was then she'll then think I'm a jerk, and will regret it. I don't want her to regret it. I don't, but I'm starting to. This is all wrong.' He walked out of his room. Raven and him were the only ones up. Raven looked at him.

"Why are you up this early?" Raven asked pouring some tea. She was also trying to figure out why what happened, happened. 'Do I acctually care about him?

'Yes you do.'

"I couldn't sleep." Beast Boy got some cearal from the cuboard and Raven began to sip her tea.

'No, I probably was just used . . . again.'

'No you weren't'

"Why not?" Raven sat down on the couch.

'And how would you know?'

'Because I'm your outside observer.'

"I was thinking." Beast Boy poured his cearal into a bowl.

'So...'

'So, that means I understand more than you.'

"About what?" Raven turned to Beast Boy.

'How your in my head?'

'It's complicated. You wouldn't understand.'

"Last night." Beast Boy poured the milk into his bowl.

'Try me.'

'Ok. An outside observer see's everything that both parties do, but both parties are influenced by their past, fear, and doubt. While the outside observer remains impartial. (AN: If you don't what it means get a dictionary.) There for the outside observer makes opinions formed observations, and not one or both of the parties past, fear, or doubt. I'm outside observer that observes through your eyes and ears.

"What about it?" Raven took another sip of tea. She was trying to stay calm.

'Then how are you an outside observer?'

'I remain impartial.'

Before Beast Boy had a chance to answer Robin and Starfire entered the room. "Hey guys. Beast Boy your up early." Robin said a little shocked.

"Well, I couldn't sleep." Beast Boy smiled. He sat down at the table and ate his cearal. Cyborg came into the common room.

"Hey y'all!" Cyborg started making bacon. He expected Beast Boy to say something, but he didn't he just went on with eating his cearal. Cyborg looked over at Beast Boy. "Are you okay man?"

"Yeah. Why ya ask?" Beast Boy looked at Cyborg confused.

"Well, I'm making bacon, and you haven't said anything about it." Cyborg held the pan of bacon in Beast Boy's face.

"Please don't put that in my face. What could I say?" Beast boy said rather calmly for him. Raven became interested.

"You usually say that we're not having meat for breakfast."

"So? I just end up making myself tofu and you make meat anyway. Besides I really don't feel like eating any tofu today." This comment badly shocked all of the Titans except for Beast Boy and Raven.

"Y...y...you not wanting ...tofu." Cyborgs eyes took up 90 of his face. As did Starfire's and Robin's

"Yeah." Beast Boy continued eating not caring what they thought.

"Is friend Beast Boy feeling alright?" Starfire asked Robin.

"I'm fine Star. I just don't feel like tofu today." Beast Boy finished his cearal, and put the bowl in the sink. After rinsing out the bowl he sat down on the couch and watched TV. Cyborg, Starfire, and Robin just stared at him for a moment. Even Raven was a little shocked at what Beast Boy had done. There was a nerve racking silence for nearly a half hour that was broken by the alarm. They came the street that the report had come from.Slade was destorying a street. Terra was hidden in the alley.

"Slade! What are you doing and where's Terra?" Robin glared at Slade.

"Yes all very good questions, but ones you might never know the answer." Slade kicked Raven away from the others. Before any of them to react Terra enclosed them in box of rock. It didn't take them long to break out of it, but when they did Slade and Terra were gone. So was Raven.

"Where is she?" Beast Boy asked in a sad voice.

Raven blury vision slowly returned to normal. "Where am I?" She asked her self.

"That's not important at this time." Slade came out of the shadows. "What's important is that you are also my aprentice now."

"NO!" Raven tried to move, but couldn't.

"You see you have no choice. I implanted a chip itno the back of your neck. That allows me to press one button and have total control and press another to give you back control. I really prefer not to take over your body so just obey my comands. First I will release you, and you will go back to the Titans tower."

"What if I tell Cyborg and he removes the chip?"

"If you tell anyone I'll press this button that will kill Beast Boy in ten minutes, and you would know that I have the power to stop him by pressing a different button. So I can control you and if you tell anyone Beast Boy will die in unimaginable pain. Are we clear?" Raven nodded. "Good then return to the tower and wait for further instructions. Raven could move again. Ran out of where ever she was and then flew to the tower. Once there she went straight to her room she didn't even check to she if they were looking for her.

Cyborg heard a beep come from his arm. He looked at it, and called the other Titans. "He signal has been unjammed. She's heading back to the tower." Everyone headed back to the tower. Beast Boy was first to get there. He went straight to her room, and knocked on the door.

"Raven! Are you in there?" Beast Boy was still worried about her.

Raven opened the door enough for him to go in. Beast boy hugged her. He was so happy that she was alive. "What do you want?" Raven seemed upset and angery.

"I was worried." He kissed her on the cheek.

"Yeah right." Raven said in disbelief.

Beast Boy pulled away. His hands were still on her arms though. "What's wrong?" He asked in a very concerned voice.

"Nothing." She pulled totally away from him.

"I don't believe you." Beast Boy stared straight into her eyes, but she was looking at the ground.

"That's just too bad."

"Raven, let you let me in last night. Let me in again."

"NO! The last time I let you in you took advantage of me and used me!"

"I did?" Beast Boy was saying in shock. 'I guess she really doesn't care about me.'

"Duh! What do you think that I acctually believe that you care about me?"

"What? You care about me?"

"I love you, and I know you'll never return my feelings! I know you used me, and took advantage of my trust! Just like every other guy in my life, but this time was different! This time I'm in love and I never gone that far! And, I knew!" Raven was more screaming at her self than at Beast Boy.

Beast Boy pulled her into a hug, and he wouldn't let her go no matter how hard she tried. "Let me go." Raven said struggling to break free.

"No." He said softly.
