Author Notes: I haven't really decided on couples yet, but I'm a true Slade/Raven shipper so you never know?

Chapter One

"Azarath Metrion Zinthos"

Raven repeated the words over and over as she floated just a few meters from the ground in her meditative pose. This was something she did everyday, morning and night. It was the only way to control her emotions and to calm her soul.

"Friend Raven."

One of Raven's eyes opened as she heard the distinctive voice of one of her team members behind her closed door. It was the alien Starfire, princess of Tamaran. 'Just ignore her…' Raven closed her eye and continued her chanting.

"Raven?"

Raven sighed as she heard the voice of Starfire again. Opening her eyes she dropped to the floor and walked over to the door. She allowed the door to slide open a little bit, only allowing part of her face and body to be shown.

Starfire smiled when she saw her friend's barely visible form. "Did I wake you, friend?" she asked.

"No…" an emotionless Raven said.

"That is good." Starfire said still smiling. "We were wondering if you would join us for the breaking of the fast. Beast Boy has made Tofu and Cyborg has his delicious bacon, I have also created a traditional dish of Tamaran."

'Can her smile get any bigger?' Raven thought to herself. "I'll just have my tea in my room..."

"Please join us." Starfire said as she clasped her hands in front of her.

Raven sighed. If she didn't go the alien princess would probably never stop annoying her. "Okay, Starfire." She consented.

"Joyous!" Starfire said. She then turned and floated down the hallway with Raven following far behind.

When they reached the door of the Rec Room Raven could hear loud voices even before they stepped in.

"Friends Raven has decided to join us on this glorious morning" Starfire said as the door slid open and she floated inside.

Cyborg looked up from the stove were he was currently cooking his bacon and smiled. "Rave! I made some bacon just for you." He said as he took up a plate with bacon and shoved it in Raven's face.

"Um…." Raven blinked.

"No way, she prefers Tofu!" Beast Boy said as he appeared out of nowhere and shoved his own specialty into Raven's face.

"I prefer my tea…" Raven finally said and watched as her friends' shoulders slumped over.

"And I have made your tea for you!" Starfire said as she handed a cup of steaming liquid to the grey-skinned girl.

"Uh thanks?" Raven looked down at the cup. The liquid was the same color as her herbal tea but with Starfire you never now. She took a chance and sipped some of the liquid from the cup.

"It is a special tea from Tamaran, tasty is it not?"

Raven's face turned green for a second and she resisted the urge to spit back up the liquid which she had just consumed. It tasted awful! She was convinced Starfire was trying to kill her with alien tea! "Very…tasty."

"Hey where's Robin?" Cyborg said out of the blue causing the rest of the team to look around and indeed they saw no signs of their leader.

"Robin?" Starfire started to float around and lift up random furniture. Maybe Robin was under one of them hiding?

"He's probably in that stuffy room of his monitoring the city." Beast Boy said. "I mean what villain attacks the city at eight in the morning?"

"Cinderblock does."

The Titans turned to see their fearless comrade standing in the doorway.

Cinderblock raised his two concrete fists and smashed them into a nearby car before picking up the ruin vehicle and sending it flying at a crowd of screaming people. The people scattered but one little girl tripped and fell only to look up and see the car coming towards her. She screamed.

"Azarath Metrion Zinthos!"

The car was incased in a black and white energy and hurled back at Cinderblock who just smacked it aside with his fist.

"When will you ever learn, Cinderblock?"

The all brawn and no brain villain growled as he saw the five teenagers in front of him. Robin and Cyborg were smirking, Beast Boy…looked normal, Starfire looked slightly angry and Raven…Raven was just emotionless.

The Titans didn't even have time to react as Cinderblock wasted no time in attacking them. First he threw a large truck at the team causing the team to split and go in different directions.

"Alright big man you want to play? Let's play!" Cyborg said as his hand transformed into his sonic cannon and he fired it. He hit Cinderblock head on and a sheet of dust soon covered the area form the impact.

"Booya!"

Cyborg's victory was soon halted as a large body rushed out of the dust and slammed into him. He went sailing through the air and crashed through the glass window of a building a few meters away.

"Dude, that was so not cool" Beast Boy said before turning into a large elephant and charging at Cinderblock. Cinderblock grabbed him by his trunk and slammed him into a nearby wall. "That really hurt" Beast Boy said as his transformation ended and he rubbed his nose.

Robin frowned. "We have to attack him as a team." He said to Raven and Starfire. The two girls nodded.

"Titans Go!" Robin shouted.

Starfire flew at Cinderblock and knocked him back with a barrage of powerful punches. Robin then leapt into the air and threw three small bombs at the villain which exploded on impact. Raven ended the attack by using her power to levitate four cars which she hurled at him. The cars exploded as soon as they hit Cinderblock and the area was soon covered in smoke.

Starfire floated up in the air to get a better look at the area.

Robin gasped as the smoke began to clear. "Starfire look out!"

The alien girl gasped as the wreckage of one of the cars flew towards her. She could not avoid it in time and the mere force of the blow sent her flying through the wall of a restaurant.

"Star!" Robin ran towards the where the girl had landed leaving Raven alone to face Cinderblock.

Raven stared after Robin then turned back to where Cinderblock was standing. He was nowhere in sight. "Just where are you…" she said to herself then gasped when a strong hand lifted her up by her throat. 'How the did he move so fast?'

Cinderblock smirked.

Raven gasped for air. She could use this to her advantage. "Azara-" she began to wheeze out but did not get to finish her sentence as a strong fist came smashing into her face. Then all she saw was darkness and she succumbed to it…

Well the first chapter is out. I'll accept any suggestions that I can use to improve my writing or the plot of the story.
