Raven pulled her hand away angrily, her eyes glaring at Abe. "Don't call me milady," she grunted. Abe smiled lightly and took something out from his pocket. Once again, he grabbed Raven by the hand and shoved the thing into her hand.
"Don't hesitate," he said and waved before entering the crowd. Raven looked down and saw a card. His phone number and address and e-mail were scrawled on it. He meant don't hesitate to contact him.
"Don't count on him," she grumbled. She turned around to them and saw them giving her a rather strange look.
"Raven, are they your sisters?" Starfire asked. Raven's eyes bulged out when Starfire said it. "Oh," she said finding her answer by Raven's reaction. "But they look like you, then who are they?"
"Starfire, I don't even know half of them!" Raven growled. She turned around. "Let's go," she grunted.
Raven entered her room the moment she got back to the Titan's Tower. She sat down and crossed her legs. Eyes closing, she slowly started to chant. She inhaled first then exhaled and let the words flowed out of her mouth. She needed this meditation time, she was sure of it. After what she's been through, she needed it. Slowly, she felt her powers come in check. No longer where they stringing out of control, but they were kept and organized.
"Azarath Metrion Zinthos," she kept on repeating it as she spoke. Her eyes opened as she finished. Getting out of the position, she walked towards the bed. Lying down slowly, she felt something poke at her. Getting up, she found the crumpled piece of paper on the bed. Right, she threw it down the moment she got into her room, before meditation. For some reason, she smoothed it out and didn't bother throwing it away. Something told her she'll need it. 'I don't know how, but I might.' She thought. Shrugging, she placed it down on the table where her mirror was.
Thunk! Someone knocked on the door. Raven glanced over, she didn't know whether to ignore it or answer it. When it came again, Raven said, "What?"
"It's dinner," Robin said. Raven walked over and opened the door. Robin already left, so Raven shrugged. While walking there, she saw Terra walking the opposite direction.
"The living room is that way," Raven pointed.
"I need to do something important," she said quickly.
"Whatever," Raven went on walking and she heard Terra's room swish shut.
"What's for dinner?" asked Raven.
"Chicken of the sea, though I do not understand…I thought chicken cannot live in the sea," Starfire murmured.
"That's just a saying 'chicken of the sea', it's tuna." Robin said. Starfire nodded adding this to her knowledge of the earth.
"Then why do they not just call it tuna?" she asked. Raven tuned out then, this was going to move around in a circle.
"What else is for dinner besides tuna?" she asked.
"Uh," Robin glanced around the table. "We have tofu, and ribs for Cyborg, and that's about it." Raven nodded. "Where's Terra?"
"She had something important to go to in her room," Raven replied.
"Let's wait for her," Beast Boy said. And so they waited for Terra to come, about fifteen minuets later, Terra came in.
"You guys waited for me?" she asked.
"Unfortunately, yes," Raven muttered under her breath.
"What are we waiting for then?" Cyborg cried. "Let's eat!"
Raven just picked at the tuna and tofu without eating it at all. Stuffing a few bites into her mouth and cleaned out her dish. "I'm done," she said and left.
Laughter echoed loudly through the living room. Terra was laughing at one of Beast Boy's lame (no offense) joke. She threw her arms around him. "I'm so glad that I came back to become a Titan! You're the best, Beast Boy!"
Raven glanced over; everybody can hear Terra's laughter. Raven squint her eyes shut tighter and tried to meditate. "Azarath Metrion Zinthos, Azarath Metrion," she kept on trying to meditate. She was levitating a few feet above the air with Starfire next to her meditating as well.
"Raven, is it supposed to be hard to meditate?" Starfire asked. "I do not remember it this difficult."
"No, it's just the noise around us," Raven raised her voice slightly hoping Terra would catch her drift. Apparently, Terra either ignored it or didn't hear her because she kept on laughing. Raven shrugged her shoulders trying to meditate. "You know what, I'm going on toe meditate on the roof," Raven got up and moved on up.
Terra threw her hands around Beast Boy's neck and gave him a small kiss on the cheek. Raven started to chant under her breath ready to meditate. "You're the greatest, Beast Boy!" Terra cried.
"Yea, you're cool too," Beast Boy replied softly. Raven let out a soft growl and walked away.
"What's her problem?" asked Terra, who heard her growling.
"She needs to meditate," Beast Boy said.
"I was wondering why she need to," she wondered.
"You see, her powers are control by her emotions." Beast Boy said. "She'll need to meditate so her powers won't go out of control."
"Seems like you know a lot about her," Terra commented.
"Nah," said Beast Boy, "I've been inside her mind once – now that was scary."
"What were you doing inside her mind?" asked Terra.
"Well, this one time, she totally creamed Dr. Light when she got all scary-like. Then it turned out her anger took control of most of her. When she gets too angry, I guess that's what happens." Beast Boy said. Terra nodded looking like she was taking a mental note or something.
Raven sneezed. 'Is someone talking about me?' she thought. Rubbing her nose, she shrugged it off and continued to meditate. The wind blew wisp of her hair into her face as she tried to meditate. Brushing it away annoyed by it, she closed her eyes. "Azarath Metrion," someone slammed the door open. Raven fell to the floor hearing the noise. She turned around and saw Terra. "What do you want?"
"I was just wondering…uh, well, never mind. I'm sorry to bother you." Terra said backing away.
Raven gave her a strange look and tried to meditate again. Only problem is, she couldn't meditate. Saying she was done, she walked in. That was strange, why did Terra want? Shrugging it off, she just slid into her doorway.
She felt tired, but it was still the beginning of the day – well, late morning at least. Raven leaned over into one of her books reading to pass the time. Flipping one of the pages, dust started to fly out. She sneezed and waved her hand in it. This was one of the older books, but she didn't expect to find that much dust in it. Closing the book with a snap, she waited till the air was clean.
"Well, that was gross," she said. Pushing the book back into its original place, she took another book. This one wasn't as old, and it talked about her home, Azarath. She looked in it, still remembering why she left. Even though she left for the good of Azarath, she still yearned for being there. She closed her eyes. 'This is all I have left of Azarath, besides the chakrah and myself, I should…I should cherish it.' But she couldn't, this brought memories back, memories that would've been better if it was forgotten. Then again, those memories was all she had of Azarath too – and her mother. 'Was my time there that painful?' she thought. 'Maybe I was right back then, I left it for the better.'
"Raven, it is the time for the feast of noon." Starfire said from outside. Raven shoved the book under her bed, too lazy to put it back on the shelf. Slowly, she walked out with Starfire. A smell of smoke whirled around them. Raven pinched her nose.
"Who's cooking," she asked. The living room door opened and to their dismay, it was completely surrounded with smoke. "What the heck is going on here?" she demanded. No one replied. "Starfire, get the fire extinguisher – on second thought, just hit the sprinklers on the top." She raised her fist and tore of the sprinklers while Starfire blew them off with her laser-beam eyes. Rushing towards the window, Raven forced the window to open and let the air clear out. Turning around, she looked at the person who was cooking: Terra.
"What on earth were you trying to do? Burn down the Titan's Tower?" Raven cried.
"I was trying to cook, I guess I messed up." Terra said.
Raven sighed, "Just clean up, that'll be easier, at least." Terra nodded and started to help cleaning with Raven and Starfire.
"I'm sorry; I was trying to cook something for you guys to say 'thanks'." Terra answered the question while cleaning.
"You know those cooking shows that they have on TV?" Raven asked.
"They are most interesting to watch!" Starfire put in.
"Watch with Starfire and learn," she said. Placing the rest of the broken dishes into the trash and the whole ones into the sink, she walked over and closed the window. The smell of smoke still stayed in the air…and on their clothing. "Great, now I smell like burnt food."
"Maybe we can use an air freshener." Terra suggested.
"We can, but we'll need to buy one first." Raven said. "We stopped using them ever since Starfire thought it was juice."
"But the aroma is so sweet and it is liquid like the one earthlings drink." Starfire protested.
"Let's go change into something that doesn't smell burnt." Raven suggested and walked off.
Finally able to look at herself in the restroom mirror (in her room; I guess all the Titans have restrooms in their room) she found her face smoke-stained and her hair caught in the smell as well. Turning the water on, she waited till the room was covered in steam then started to remove her burnt-smelling clothes.
Sliding into the water, she let the warm sensation overcome her. Her stomach suddenly growled. Right, she didn't eat lunch. Shifting herself into another position, she dunked her head into the water to wash out the stench of smoke.
Getting out, she wrapped herself in a towel and dried her hair off. Putting on her clothes, she squeezed the water out of her hair and started to dry it off. Grabbing the hair dryer, she blew at her hair until her hand got tired. Brushing her hand into her hair she felt that it was still wet. She shrugged, oh well.
She walked out and still smelled smoke from the kitchen. Her nose scrunched up as she smelled the smoke. Her nose flamed smelling the smoke. 'Great job, Terra,' she thought sarcastically. Frowning she took a few scented candles and lit them and placed them around her. Suddenly, the smell surrounded her. She took in a few deep breaths and started to meditate. She didn't know how long she was going at it, but someone knocked on the door.
"Dinner," it was Robin.
Raven got up and blew out the candle and got up. "Does it still smell like smoke?"
"No," he said. "Why did it smell like that anyway?"
"Apparently, Terra tried to cook when she didn't know how." Raven said.
Raven tried to eat, she seriously did, but with Terra smiling and acting all lovey-dovey with Beast Boy was making Raven sick to the stomach. Raven got up abruptly and pushed the chair in. Her face was hot and she her anger rising. She didn't know why or what was bothering her, but she felt it as one of those days that just didn't go right. She frowned and entered her room. What was this?
She gazed at herself in the mirror (not her mind-mirror) and sighed. She thought of Terra and Beast Boy and felt angry, like she wanted Terra gone. Raven's eyes snapped open. Was this jealousy? Was Raven jealous of Beast Boy and Terra? She nearly fell down when she thought of this. She glanced at her mirror – her mind-mirror and frowned. If she was jealous, does it mean she's in love with Beast Boy? 'No' she thought immediately. 'It's just Terra.' She frowned.
What Raven didn't next, she didn't know whether to regret it or not. In her hand she held the card that Abe had handed to her. She waited till everybody was out in the living room. Making sure it didn't look like she planned it; she meditated for a while and stopped. Walking to the phone, she dialed. It was answered quickly.
"Hello?" she heard Abe say.
"It's Raven," she replied. "You still free this weekend?"
"Y-yea," she heard Abe tumble on something and a whisk of paper.
"Just say where and I'll go with you," Raven said. Abe quickly answered. "It's a date." Raven said finally. So here it is: Project Jealousy.
