Raven was bored. She'd already eaten, looked at the local malls, and had meditated half the day away. She had been thinking about the ride over and the conversations going on between her friends. "Beast Boy asked for a souvenir...later. I'll go shopping again soon if I don't find something else to do." Her headache had been gone for a long time, ever since she had gotten in the car. No need to sleep.
"I wonder where Superman would be..." She decided to fly around, but remembered the looks of astonishment on the faces of the people on the street. "Let 'em look. It's not like they don't have flying heroes around here."
She opened her hotel window and jumped out, soaring through the air. Where would I be if I were a superhero? "Oh...wait...I am a superhero," she laughed. "Woah...new emotions..." She shook it off, keeping her thoughts on finding Superman. Suddenly, she heard an echoing boom, coming from her left. She spun around in midair, her mouth gaping open. The cape told her enough.
"Superman..." she whispered. "What will I say? Do I just fly up to him? How will he react? What if I can't say anything at all?" Superman flew down to another caped figure. "Who in the...?" Raven raced toward the couple of heroes, feeling confused. "Uhh...excuse me?" Superman turned his head around, looking for the voice. "Over here."
"Woah! Who are you?"
Raven figured it was probably pretty hard to surprise the man of steel. "I'm Raven, from the Teen Titans. I was sent to take a vacation." Who is that girl? The other caped figure was staring right back at her.
"Teen Titans, huh? You know Robin?" he asked, shaking her hand.
"Uhh, yeah. He's our leader. Who is she?" Raven was looked over at the blonde girl.
"Oh, this is Supergirl."
"Cool. I thought there was just one."
"Well, there isn't. Now, if you'll excuse us, we need to defeat this thing." Supergirl waved in the direction of the sludge monster terrorizing the outskirts of Metropolis.
"Can I help?"
"Yeah, we could always use some help," Superman said, motioning above him. Raven looked up and saw other characters dressed up in capes and colorful clothes.
"Wow..."
"Come on, Raven, let's go." Supergirl shot towards the monster.
"Uhh...what do I do?"
"I was actually hoping you'd tell me," Superman prompted.
"Oh! Watch," she looked at the monster and raised her arms. "Azarath...metrion...zinthos!" The houses that the creature was attacking were suddenly submerged in a black bubble.
"Okay, I get it. Is that all you do?"
"No, I can move things, too." Down below, Supergirl and the others were beating the spit out of the attacker. When they were done, she came up to them.
"Thanks, Raven. That really distracted him. So...how're the others?"
"Others? They only talked about Superman."
"Well, I never met any of them, but I know about them."
"Oh. Yeah, they're fine. Robin is our leader, then there's Starfire, Cyborg, and Beast Boy."
"Starfire is a cool name," she commented. "Do you have a place to stay?"
Superman cleared his throat. "We need to talk to the others before taking in another...we are running short on rooms."
"Oh, right. Sorry."
"No, it's okay," Raven said quickly. "I'm staying at the hotel right down there." She pointed to the building below them.
"In that case, come with us. And bring your stuff. That place is a dump." Superman ordered.
"Sure!" Moments later, Raven floated up to them, baggage in black bubbles. "Where are we going?"
