"Do you guys always have such good food?" Raven was stuffed, and, after cleaning up her room, was sitting on her bed with Crystal. "We usually just get pizza or something."

She chuckled. "Yeah, the kitchen crew spoils us…"

Raven's communicator chirped. "Hang on." She flipped the lid, and Starfire's face appeared.

"Hello, friend! How is your stay with the League of Justice?"

"It's going well. I uhh…I fought again. In space." She looked at Crystal, who was smiling back at her new friend.

"Really? Was it cool?" Robin asked from behind Star.

"Actually…it was awesome! I was wiped afterward, though. Then we had dinner. I mean, dinner. Not some take out. It was acutally cooked here."

"Do you miss tofu night?" Beast Boy's voice could be heard, but she couldn't see his face.

"…Uh…no, not really."

Crystal laughed, alerting the team to her presence.

"Who's that, Raven?" Robin asked.

The girl moved closer to the communicator, so she could see the Titans. "I'm Crystal."

"Hello, Crystal! Will you be my friend?" Starfire cried.

"Uh… … sure…" She glanced questioningly at Raven, who just rolled her eyes.

"Cyborg!" called BB. "Raven fought with the League again!" Loud footsteps bounded to the group.

"No way! Again!"

"Yeah, I guess she's earning her keep!" Beast Boy joked.

"No, guests don't have to work," Crystal corrected him, also in a joking tone. "But it sure helps to have an extra pair of hands in the kitchen!" She elbowed Raven, who in turn pushed her over on the bed. The two giggled.

"Guys, I gotta go. See you soon?"

They all exchanged goodbyes and the connection was cut.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

That night, Raven was lying on her bed, trying to sleep. But she couldn't stop thinking about her home. She sighed. Homesick? I can't be! I'm having too much fun! Her covers were pulled away telekinetically, and she got up. She put on her slippers, closed the door behind her, and made her way to Kitchen B.

Supergirl was already there, eating a bowl of ice cream. "You're up late," she commented when she saw Raven.

"What time is it?"

"About 1-ish. Want some ice cream?"

"Sure. What kinds have you got?"

Supergirl laughed and opened the walk-in freezer. "Any kind you want."

The two girls ate, talking and sometimes laughing. Raven was really enjoying herself, until Supergirl changed the direction of the conversation. "How much longer are you staying?"

It brought back her homesickness. "Probably only a couple more days…" she replied, sadly.

"Why? Aren't you having fun? I mean, this is your vacation." She attacked the last melting scoop in her bowl, hitting a mini peanut butter cup.

"Yeah…well, I miss Jump City. It's weird, but I want to go back." Her ice cream was almost all gone too, and she felt that she couldn't finsh any more. "Plus, They might need me soon."

"That's okay," said the girl. "Most of our visitors feel that way after a few days. I think it's the whole space thing. Me, I feel comfortable almost everywhere, as long as I have my friends with me." She polished off her desert and put the bowl in the sink.

"Maybe that's what I miss. My friends. I talk to them on the communicator, but I'm just not…I dunno…totally happy without 'em."

Supergirl took Raven's bowl, rinsing out the uneaten ice cream slush. "Well, you're always welcome, whenever you're ready to come back." She moved to the door. "You and your friends."

Ohmygosh! It's been SOOOOOOOO long since I've updated this story! Sorry, guys! Having a little bit of writer's block today, but I hope the point is clear. If not: she's missing home, and is contemplating going back. :) :P
