Have a few chapters ready, but will spread out the updates. Remember to review!

Raven tossed and turned in her bed. Trigon may have been defeated, but memories – and doubts – remained. One doubt in particular still plagued her; of what might have been. And what could still happen, if she let her newfound freedom to feel emotion get carried away. And what would happen to the people close to her if she did. She cracked her eyes open and looked towards the window. The sun was just starting to rise. She pulled herself out of bed and let out a sigh. It's nothing, just a side effect of my emotions getting a little freedom. We go out, we…what? Try to have a good time, I suppose. Probably spend half the time keeping the little alien out of trouble. Then we come home, end of story. She stopped her monologue as she reached for her cloak and fiddled with the clasp. And then I spend however long it takes in meditation to sort this whole thing out. Raven walked of her room, and for the rest of the day, worked to keep her thoughts focused. On reading. On training. On ignoring BB's daily idiocy. And most defiantly not on the small, knowing glances and grins Starfire tossed her way as evening approached.

Evening arrived quickly, and Raven's thoughts became more than a little jumbled as she realized that she actually had invited Starfire out alone to a club, and thatshe really had no idea what she was supposed to do once they got there. She paused a moment while walking to her dresser. Contrary to popular belief, she did own a few regular clothes, she just rarely, if ever, put them on. The fact that she had vanished from the tower that day to buy something new to wear, just for this evening, only added to her misery.

Relax. Focus. She worked on sorting out her thoughts as she dressed, and conjured a flat sheet of black energy to serve as a full-length mirror. Her reaction to what she saw, if it was just a few months ago, would have resulted in some serious property damage. Raven wisely decided to toss a cloak over herself to keep the men from staring. At least the club would be dark.

Walking into the living room, Raven watched as Robin, Cyborg and Beast Boy fought it out in one of their favorite video games, and more than a little outside the game, as well. She started pacing back and forth until Starfire flew in. "Friend Raven, I am ready!" She did a slow turn in mid-air. Starfire was wearing an ordinary pair of bluejeans with a purple t-shirt that sported a sleeping kitten on the back.

Despite her nervousness, Raven had to suppress a grin. Thinking of the two of them, they seemed to be complete opposites, but were best of friends. Yin and Yang? That might explain it… Raven nodded and they turned to the door.

"You two going somewhere?" Robins voice floated over.

Damn…

"Yes! Raven has invited me to the opening of a new club with her!"

Raven looked back to see all three boys quickly walking over. Gods DAMN…

"Sweet! Count us in!" Beast boy hopped over to Raven's side, pumping his arms in the air. Robin walked up to Starfire, a little too close for Raven's liking. To her surprise, she found herself linking arms with Starfire and pulling her closer.

"Sorry guys. Girls' night out." Raven breathed an inward sigh of relief at the quick recovery. "Besides, the club doesn't allow children." She tossed a glare at BB, who was staring at Raven oddly. "What?" Oh CRAP. Linking arms with Starfire had pulled one half of her cloak back. While she was frozen in that moment of realization, BB reached over and pulled back the other half for a better look.

"Whoa…Raven…what are…" Beast Boy trailed off in mid-sentence and froze, his eyes wide.

Raven stood there in shock as all three boys started staring. She was wearing a pair of black boots, black khakis and a blue spaghetti-string top that showed her shoulders and a surprising amount of navel. All three boys leaned over slightly for a better look. Beast Boy was starting to drool. Raven pulled her cloak out of his unresisting grip and gave the back of his head a solid smack. He toppled onto the floor with a satisfying 'thump.'

"If you three are done gawking…" Raven turned and quickly led Starfire out of the tower. Starfire tossed a wave back to the guys as she was pulled out. Outside, the sky was clear with a warm breeze. Once they got their bearings, the two flew towards downtown, with Raven trying to block the feeling of embarrassment from her earlier actions. Was I being… jealous? No. Yes. Damn. Raven peeked at Starfire. Her eyes were wide, taking in the sight of the city beneath her, her hair flowing out behind her in the wind. Despite having flown her whole life, Starfire always seemed to treat each flight as her first. Looking at her like that, so happy, so carefree, so…Argh. Raven wrenched herself back to reality as the club came into view. This is getting ridiculous.
