Raven rushed out of the door with a beautiful gothic black dress on that sparkled like sunlight on morning dew. Her arms were covered by black polka-dot stockings that had frills on the edges and wore her hair down with black highlights. She almost tripped on her way from the Island off the coast of Jump City, but caught herself in her powers. She jumped from the rock leading to the sea and levitated to the shore of the city. The night sky shimmered on the ocean with the star's light. She looked into the dark waters and did not see the water, but saw her reflection. She studied herself for a few moments, wondering if she would look good enough for her date. She decided that she didn't care, and slapped the water with a frustrated backhand and levitated faster to her expectant Jack. When she reached the shore her boyfriend in an onyx tux, studded belt, and Chuck's on his feet was waiting on a bench. Raven levitated to the spot next to him and sat down. He gave a jolt and almost fell off the bench, but quickly saved himself and blushed. Raven chuckled but knew better and stopped. He took her hand and together they walked toward the Poetry Recital where Raven was to read her new poem: Darkened Life. When they reached it, they found it was seemingly abandoned.
"Huh? Jack, I thought you checked that this place was supposed to be open tonight." Raven said questioningly.
"I-I did. I read the sign yesterday. See it's still there!" Jack said and pointed at the sign nervously.
"The Recital begins Saturday at 10pm." Raven read.
"What is going on here?" She said to herself in a worried tone.
"I can answer that, Raven." A familiar monotone voice said from within the confines of the building.
Raven gasped and mouthed a word that looked to be like the formation of, "Slade!" As she did this her and her date were swallowed into darkness. The night sky shimmered with brightness but dimmed a little. Then, it went out and the plunged into total darkness.
Raven had gone out for the evening with her boyfriend. Beast boy had taken to sneaking into
her room when she was gone, particularly looking and touching everything she had lying on
her bed. Beast boy fondled with a mirror that he admired his appearance in for a couple seconds. Bored, BB found himself daydreaming about going out with Raven instead of that Goth Boy.
"Oh well, guess it wasn't meant to be." He said aloud without realizing. Then he noticed a flask with the blackest substance within. He fingered the flask with the dark substance in it, and deducted it was a liquid. He opened it gingerly and a large gust of wind blew out of the tiny bottle. The room spun and Beast Boy fell on the floor with a thud. None of the other Titans had noticed this because they were all in a deep sleep in the other rooms. Too, they didn't pay much attention to anything that came from Raven's room. She never would like to be bothered during the day, so why would she like to be bothered during the night when she was to sleep?
Beast Boy slowly pushed himself up and off of the floor. Brushing himself off and grumbling a bit, he stood. He rubbed his head and looked to see the damage. Instead of seeing destruction, he stared into the eyes of Raven.
"Ahhh! Raven? I didn't think you'd be back 'till eleven!" Beast boy screamed in surprise and ducked behind the bed.
A Raven in a dark cloak that was almost identical to Raven's arose from the bowels of the
room.
"Ha ha! Beast boy, I gave you sort of a scare, huh?" Raven asked gleefully outstretching a hand to get him from the floor.
"Why doesn't she sound like herself; normally she'd be screaming at me…" Beast Boy
wondered aloud; flinching at the sight of her hand.
"Raven, did you drink your tea with the milk in the dark-green container again?" Beast Boy asked with a disgusted look on his face. Beast Boy had grabbed Raven's hand lightly and she flung her arms around him.
"How could I be mean to such a cutie!" Raven said as she hugged Beast Boy tightly; surprise
and embarrassment shone in his face.
Meanwhile
Meanwhile Raven battled for her life and the life of her boyfriend's within a black vortex. She fought Slade's minions very serenely so as not to lose control. Raven simply lifted her finger, and dark powers flung at the robots, instantly destroying them. When the minions noticed all she was doing was hovering on the spot, they all jumped in the air. Raven spotted her boyfriend, seemingly far away. She flew as fast as she could towards him, but was knocked to the ground and trampled upon by the robots. Her boyfriend slipped a loud and bloodcurdling scream by which she could not view, which triggered Raven's relentless anger.
"Azarath Metrion Zinthos!" Raven shouted and the whole vortex collapsed. Spinning black tendrils of smoke, mixing with dark purple and grays swirled destroying the robots as well as the very foundation of the world that which they'd been fighting in. This continued for a minute or so, and suddenly she was emptied out onto the streets of Jump City. The two lovers landed on the sidewalk right next to the Poetry Recital. The lights were on and there was activity within. Raven hopped up and peaked inside the window. A young girl with a flowered yellow dress on was reading a bright poem in Raven's place. Furious, she disappeared into the night that was now filled with starry light before her boyfriend could stand and open his eyes.
"Beast Boy! Can't you see; It's me!" Raven said as she suddenly twirled around and floated
gracefully toward the exit of her room.
"I'm hungry... wanna make me some of your famous tof-" Raven was interrupted when a
Raven in a black dress walked through the front door. Raven went to the closet and threw on
her cloak of blue satin. She hovered to her room to find a Raven at the door and a Beast Boy
sitting on the bed having a... pleasant... conversation.
What are you doing in my room Beast Boy. NO ONE SHOULD EVER BE IN MY ROOM!" The
Raven in the blue cloak said in a half-monotone, half-angry voice. A light bulb blew overhead.
"Why so mad Rae?" The Raven cloaked in black said.
The Raven in the blue strolled over to the mirror Beast Boy had been fondling and chanted the words she knew so well:
Azarath Metrion Zinthos to make the twin go away but the figure from the mirror did not go
back in. It looked at her in question.
"What are you doing Raven?" The Raven in black said.
"What are you doing! Get back in the mirror now!" The Blue Cloaked Raven said with
surprise. The door shut roughly, Beast Boy commenced levitation against his will,
and the mirror cracked down the middle. The room suddenly turned into a tornado of Raven's
powers. But just as suddenly as it started her powers faded and The Dark Raven stood. She
brought Beast Boy down from the air with a gentle wave of her index finger.
"Raven! I'm staying and that's all there is to it!" Dark Raven said angrily.
'Never has a being been so strong within my mind. Maybe it didn't come from my mind. But
then where did it come from?' Raven thought as she stared into the dark twin's cold eyes. Raven studied the twin, and it was as if she was looking in a tinted mirror. Dark Raven coughed uncomfortably. Raven's eyes zoomed from Dark Raven's black boots to her eyes once again.
Suddenly Dark Raven's eyes smiled.
"Now there's the Raven I know! Come on, let's try to get Beast Boy to make us some tofu
Eggs!" Dark Raven exclaimed as she grabbed Beast Boy's arms and flung him over her
shoulder and floated swiftly to the kitchen, unaffected by Raven's rude staring.
The Raven in the blue cloak's eye's slit and she wondered…
