BB and Cyborg were battling on gamestation, shouting as they did this, with the juvenile thought that this would increase their ability to win. It didn't. "Booya," shouted Cyborg.
BB was now on his feet clutching the controller tightly. His head was slightly tilted and he was biting his tongue. "Just surrender, you cannot win," bursted out Cyborg, laughing as he threw his head back with the assumption that now he could not lose. When his eyes met the screen again, he had lost a third of his health points. "WHAA!!! I'll show you." BB snickered as he tilted his controller in an attempt to better his attacks.
Raven, looked up from her poetry at them with a glare. "Cut it out, guys," she grumbled. They were too intent upon their game to hear her, not to mention the racket they made screaming at each other.
She hated the intrusive noises. The yelling was very often present in Teen Tower when two titans battled as such, yet Raven could never get used to it. She wondered why they insisted on yelling at the game and each other. Sometimes she wondered why she came out of her room, but then again her fellow titans were "fun" to be around at times, just not now. Why couldn't they just enjoy depressing poetry and meditation, like she. Then again, BB would probably just make a mockery out of her and poetry in general if he ever tried. But Starfire had once peacefully joined Starfire in meditation, and though Raven enjoyed being alone, she had enjoyed the sincere company of a friend. Friends like these were why she did not completely isolate herself in her room, without friends she would go insane.
"CUT IT OUT!!" she exploded. Cyborg and BB dropped their controllers and her anger had intimidated them, as they knew that her anger could reach certain extreme, yet dark levels.
"I need to get away," she said. And stormed off towards her room. As soon as Raven left, Cyborg and BB continued battling as before.
Starfire, concerned, decided to try to cheer Raven up with a traditional Tamarain folk song. "I don't think that's a great idea," warned Robin. "She probably just needs to be alone. And you know how she doesn't like to bothered when she's in her room." Though Robin's logic sounded reasonable and they all knew about Raven's protection of her privacy through experience, Starfire headed upstairs.
She walked with light feet, but then remembered she could lift herself up and avoid making any walking noise at all. She reached the door and knocked. "Raven, it is I, Starfire," (who else would knock like this). "I wish to know if you are quite all right friend. You must excuse Beastboy and Cyborg. They still do not realize that their noises annoy you." "Raven, are you quite there?"
There was still no answer. Star thought that Raven must really not want to talk, and so ceased not wishing to further annoy Raven. She walked downstairs, "Raven will not answer," she said to Robin. "She may not be in her room," Robin replied. "Oh Robin, I am worried," said Star. "Its ok Star, Raven can take care of herself," said Robin.
