A bewildered Beast Boy made the two girls delicious tofu-egg meals whilst Raven struggled with her emotions. She commenced giggling, then shrugging, then whimpering, then laying her head down, then twirling her hair, then flying like an airplane until Beast Boy served the food.
Raven surprisingly liked its scrumptious taste but expressed it by blowing up Dark Raven's.
"Hey now! That wasn't so nice!" Dark Raven said in a sing-song voice.
Dark Raven then arose from her chair noisily while the other Titans were taking an excursion in the basement to search for more bottled cleaner because they had spilt a whole pitcher of Starfire's Goofus Drink on the carpet. Her wooden bar-chair fell back and broke in two. Her eyes then glowed white and Raven felt herself hovering. She tried to break Dark Raven's hold on her but couldn't and was forced back with excruciating strength and broke through the window. Dark Raven suddenly released her powers and a surprised Raven began to fall from the Tower. As Raven started to gain dangerous speed towards the ground, Dark Raven fell to her knees because of the power welling up inside of her. Suddenly, her powers unleashed from her hands and chakra and the whole kitchen was reduced to ash save for Beast Boy who dove for cover in the living room. Dark Raven stumbled slowly to the living room with an embarrassed look upon her face, a dusty black cloak, and unkempt hair.
"Whoops... I guess I lost control." Dark Raven said embarrassingly while shuffling her feet nervously.
She quickly put her hand behind her neck and then noticed that Raven was still falling. She ran to the window and craned her neck to view the dropping Raven. In her eyes, an evil glare shone. She turned round, and quickly changed her glare into sadness.
Beast Boy sat with his hands over his head protectively as his eyes grew blank.
"R-r-r-r-r-rae---"Beast boy stuttered hysterically.
"Aww, you have me now." Dark Raven smiled brightly and embraced Beast Boy as her eyes turned a shade of green. She noticed her reflection in the broken glass and quickly waved her finger to manipulate their color to purple once again.
However, That was all that could come out of Beast Boy's mouth. Meanwhile, Raven screamed as she lost control that she smashed every window on the way down. When she finally neared the ground she tried to clear her mind for now she realized nobody would nor could save her. But sadly she was too late. The placid blue water seemed to turn to chaotic waves as she neared it. SPLASH! She hit the water painfully. Her mind went blank. Her body could be seen floating away in the seas of Jump City for a few moments but nobody bothered to look. Raven was there at the tower. Or so everyone thought. She wore a black cloak instead of blue, big difference. Even Beast Boy, after a long rest, considered it being all a dream.
The Next Morning:
"Hey all! I'm gonna go fix those windows and while I am at it why don't I go get us some pizza from Pizza Gorilla in town?" Dark Raven asked kindly
"That would be glorious, friend Raven. What has made you so cheerful; For never have I seen you this full of positive impulses?" Starfire asked innocently
Dark Raven, or rather, the replacing Raven chuckled heartily. "Let's just say… well… you're gonna get used to it Star cause this is how I am meow- I mean now."
The Titans all laughed merrily at such a word mistake.
"Good job, Raven. You've finally been able to control your emotions!" Robin said encouragingly, while fixing one of his birdmerangs.
'If only your emotions would be for me,' Cy thought as he stomped to the couch.
"Congratulations, RAVEN! Who's up for some STANK BALL." Cyborg said with faked excitement.
Beast Boy blew a horn and Starfire clapped loudly, nobody seemed to hear the part about Stank Ball.
"Thank you but thpse windows won't fix themselves! Darn Kids!" Dark Raven said, chortling.
"Well, She's right you know!" Cyborg said as he plopped onto the couch and switched on the TV.
"Friend Raven? Please lower your speeds; I am not able to catch up." Starfire said playfully as she squirted Raven with the Windex.
With that Dark Raven and Starfire playfully fixed the windows one-by-one and around five the pizza had arrived.
"That'll be 45$ please. Here's the Pepperoni & Mustard, Cheese Pizza, and Tofu Pizzas you ordered." Said the pizza guy with a smile.
"Here you go!" Said Raven turning towards the table.
A frown appeared on Raven's boyfriend's face. She obviously no longer wanted to see him.
Robin had already begun to fish around for his money in his pocket when Dark Raven handed him a 50.
"Keep the change!" she said without turning around.
"Alright, Thanks Raven..." he said sadly as he crept away from the door.
"You got it dude!" Said Raven, cutting the hovering pizza mentally over the table.
She turned to see the team staring at her.
"What?" she said, sounding like Slade for a moment.
Raven dropped the pizza. It slid from the table splattered all over the carpet.
"I- I mean What? I'm sorry..." she said In her normal voice.
Starfire gasped and held onto Robin's hand tightly. Beast Boy leapt into Cyborg's arms who looked at Raven with an accusing look.
"I guess my voice cracked for a minute. I could use a glass of water..." said Dark Raven running into the kitchen with a sigh.
The Raven went into the brand new kitchen she had ordered from a catalog to apologize and got out a bottle of water from the newly purchased fridge. She drank it in one gulp.
"Do it now!" Slade said in a hushed tone from Raven's ear.
"Why! I like them. I already destroyed Terra and Raven through my masquerade. Four more! This'll get Rob-" Dark Raven thought to Slade telepathically.
Suddenly Dark Raven ripped the earpiece out of her left ear as she heard the others muttering quietly and scrambling about.
"All done!" Said Raven with a toothy smile.
She said this as she entered the living room. It was as silent as it was empty. Nobody answered. Nor did it seem like anybody was there. The carpet rustled. Suddenly, Starfire tackled Raven into the kitchen, squashing the new oven beneath them. Raven fell onto the floor while Beast Boy transformed into a squid and with all 8 of the tentacles wrapped up Raven snugly within her cloak; Only her face was exposed. Robin and Cyborg held her tightly as the changeling changed back to his human form. Starfire and Beast Boy were the only ones left with free hands.
"Alright! I may not have believed it before but... Raven is...gone and this imposter has taken over." Said Beast Boy accusingly while looking like Sherlocke Holmes with the magnifying glass he held.
Raven was struggling quite roughly and Robin and Cyborg had to go through quite some measure to keep her still.
Starfire gasped. "Unmask this...this... this DEMON!"
Beast Boy pulled on Raven's facial skin. Sure enough it was rubber. Beast boy pulled a little harder and the mask was pulled off. All of a sudden a loud meow was heard and everyone's mouths and hands drooped helplessly.
"Ha ha! You guys thought you had captured meow AHEM me but I escaped for my revenge!" Said an unmasked Kitten with Raven's voice.
"Heheehee! Hi Robbie poo! Cyborg and.. and-You..." Kitten roared "YOU" with such intensity that she startled herself and leapt to her feat. Leaving Robin and Cyborg imposter-less.
She glared at Starfire who glared back intently. Starfire was just about to shoot a starbolt and Robin was just about to say his catchphrase (titans go!) when Kitten pushed a button on her belt. It blinked animatedly. Her appearance suddenly changed; her blonde hair suddenly flowed and her outfit of pink shirt, red cape, steel utility belt, hot pink mask, and denim Capris made her look like a titan. But suddenly a quartet of villains crashed in. Beautiful Blackfire, dangerous Jinx, Superhuman Mammoth, and super intelligent Gizmo were standing in the living room in fighting stance.
"Hey little sis. I vowed my revenge. Time to take it like a true Tamaranian!" said Blackfire rudely.
"Miss us?" she said, her finger a-glow with a pink light.
"My daddy bought me superpowers, Robbie-poo. We have a chance to defeat you now! You are outnumbered." Kitten said as she readied their team.
"Not anymore." Said Raven, smugly from the living room door.
"RAVEN? HUH! WHAT! I DESTROYED YOU?" Said Kitten in disbelief, poking Raven roughly to make sure she was real.
"No. You just hurled me off the top story of my home into the ocean." Said Raven as she was telling a neighbor the day's weather.
The real Raven smiled at the team as Aqualad appeared behind her.
"We'll explain later. Right now lets kick some villain butt!" Said Aqualad heroicly.
"We got your back on that one!" Cyborg said as his arm morphed from arm to cannon.
Raven blushed.
"Vile Villains ATTACK PLAN GAMMA!" Kitten Roared.
"Teen Titans GO!" Robin shouted, bo-staff at hand.
Cyborg leapt to Mammoth's side and started the titanic battle with the first blow.
Raven and Starfire ganged up on Jinx as Aqualad fought Gizmo. Robin readied his bo-staff and brandished it at Blackfire.
"Oh please! Gimme a break-" Said an interrupted Blackfire coolly.
Robin struck her on the side and sent her tumbling head first into the wall. Kitten quickly snuck down to the basement to steal the security plans just in case her team was to fail.
"Starfire! Jinx is too dangerous! We have to get her out of the tower." Said Raven anxiously.
"Right, friend Raven. I will resume battle. HUUUA!" Said Starfire, her eyes now glowing dangerously.
Starfire shouted as her green beams spouted from her eyes at Jinx. It was a direct hit and Jinx went flying into the ocean. Raven and Starfire commenced flight after her as Cyborg and Mammoth struggled to gain the advantage of attacking (both hands were on each other's struggling to push the other to the ground). Robin blocked Blackfire's darkbolts and dodged her beams. But he couldn't get around her devastating mind waves.
"Ha! Another part of Tamaranian transformation." Blackfire said as she flexed her bicep, snobbishly.
The mindwaves penetrated Robin's brain and rendered him unconscious. He fell to the floor as Blackfire flew out to help Jinx fend off Raven.
Starfire and Raven captured Jinx and brought her to the rocks near the tower. She was wrapped tightly in seaweed; Not even the strongest of the titans could escape. They rushed back to the tower to help their friends, but met a disgruntled Blackfire on the way. Little did Kitten know was that a small rat was following her: A Beast Boy rat. It followed her to the room with the security plans and the weaknesses and flaws in it. The intricate plans were all the Titan's had got to fend off villains while the rested in the darkest hours. But when she opened the door to gather them Beast Boy transformed into himself and landed a kick to her back. She jetted forward and hit her head on a crate and fell to the floor. The crate burst open and tons of papers with plans upon them, covered the two. Meanwhile Starfire was being penetrated by the mind waves but Raven was immune to them as she had a strong mental blockage. Raven tried to concentrate on making Blackfire unable to concentrate on the mind waves. Cyborg had the upper hand in battle and was swinging Mammoth around by his feet. Cyborg stopped and let go as Mammoth was swung out the window and into the ocean. Mammoth let out a sharp and almost girlish yelp as he plunged into the sea. Gizmo was long already caught but he was too squirmy so Aqualad had to sit upon him.
"Just kick him out into the ocean with the rest." Said Cyborg, as the Tamaranian sisters crashed trough a window into the tower.
Cyborg swiftly turned and shot a sonic blast at the Tamaranian sister of Starfire. It hit her chest and she soared down the stairway colliding with Beast Boy in the sea of papers.
"Ughh, you could watch where you're putting dangerous villains." Beast Boy said crossly.
"We've won." Raven said, as a smile flitted upon her face.
"Glorious!" Starfire shouted as she rubbed her head intently.
"Oh yeah high fives all around! C'mon!" Cyborg said as he high-fived the Titans.
"Good thing too, I almost broke a sweat." Beast Boy said carrying both Kitten and Blackfire in his ape form.
"……" Robin was quiet. He lay on the floor, unconscious. Starflire flew to his side, nervous.
"Robin? Robin please respond?" Starfire said, in tears.
"He's knocked out. Your sister's mind waves must be powerful." Said Cyborg, feeling Robin's head.
"Robin! Please do not be damaged!" She cried, placing her head softly on his barely rising-and-falling chest.
"Are you sure he's alright and not just unconscious. This is more than a bump on the head. This is mind damage. He could be in a coma… or worse." Raven imagined the worst fate, and quickly her powers swallowed her up and she was gone.
"Say where's Aqualad?" Said Beast Boy, wondering aloud.
Everyone glares in his direction.
"Heh heh...Robin... wake up...?" He said uneasily.
"Robin! Are you unharmed... Robin.. Please don't be combed-a in! ROOOOBIIIN!" Starfire shouted, now frustrated.
Starfire screamed now in hysterical tears for fear of her friend.
" Dude..." Beast boy said sadly as he threw the two villains into the ocean.
Cyborg picked Robin up and brought him to his room. "I'll need some time but-" Cyborg was cut off.
" You will fix him?" Starfire asked as tears gently flowed down her face like rain on a daisy.
Cyborg looked up from Robin to the rest of the team.
"I'll- I'll do the best I can."
Raven cackled inside her head. 'What fools,' she thought, 'How could they possibly believe the masks I put over that robot. HEH, Kitten? Gosh, they are very ill-minded for super heroes. Tsk-Tsk.'
Dun dun dunnn! Raven or whoever this may be, put two masks over the fake Raven (one in black cape known as Dark Raven) when she came from the kitchen. One was the one they always saw: Raven's and the one under: Kitten's. Then she flew out of an open window and got Aqualad because she told him the Titans were in a tight situation. Note that this is important and will be later explained in the plot. But as for now, we know that she did this to make the Titan's think Aqualad had found her in the water somewhere. When the battle was through she teleported him back to his home, however, leaving him no time to explain whatever it was he wanted to explain. The real Raven's whereabouts were unknown, or were they. Was this the real Raven? Surely not. Had she been defeated so easily by being thrown off the side of the tower? Had she survived? What really Happened?
"Slade was correct: my powers are ideal for defeating the Titans." Raven thought telepathically.
"I know my dear... I know..." Slade said in a father-like tone.
Will she defeat them? WHAT WILL HAPPEN! Find out in the next chapter!
