"Airous, wake up…" a voice flows into my ears. I am still clutched in sleep's tight grasp, and I slightly feel that I am being shaken.

"Airous…"

Instantly, I remember where I am and that I am no longer at my home and my eyes pop open and take in all around them: BB jolting me awake, Cy gaping at me and most likely thinking how can this girl sleep through that, Star standing near to the couch with a worried look, Robin hurrying me up, and Raven in a corner of the Tower staring at me with no expression.

"Hurry up, Titans. There's trouble!" Robin announces.

My ears are immediately alerted to an extremely annoying buzzing sound that keeps going off. I am forced to cover them up and ask BB, "What is that?"

"Our alarm system," he explains quickly. "It goes off if there's something bad going down in the city."

"Something bad…" I glance at Raven, and although I am a bit scared of following the Titans as they battle the "something bad", I know that I must to gain her trust and her believing that I am not bad.

"Titans, GO!" Robin screams.

Without delay, the Titans get ready. Star flies up, grabbing Cy. BB transforms himself into an eagle. Raven levitates herself…I know am sure that all of the Titans have powers…and hovers a little above the ground. And Robin does not fly or hover or be carried, but he does take out a weapon-looking thing. He clicks a button, aims it out the window, and a string shoots outward, creating a tight rope that he can use just like flying or hovering.

I wonder how I am going to follow them.

BB swoops down and beckons me to climb on his wings. I look at him as if he is crazy, but do.

We make our way out of Titan Tower and into the sky. As I grip BB's wings, the wind blows so hard that I pray I do not fall and thoughts flow through my mind at such a fast rate that I can only just notice them.

It is beautiful from up this high! I feel as if I can touch the sky! The clouds look as soft as Miss Yernilia's fluffy cheese-on-crackers. Oh, how amazing it feels right now, to be me! If only Mom and Dad could have seen it…if only…if only…if…

A tear drips from my eye, down my cheek, and off of BB's beak.

"Why are you crying?" He sounds concerned.

"I…oh, 'tis nothing. It is just so wonderful up here…it is so pretty that I have tears," I lie.

Out of the corner of my eye, I catch Raven looking at me. She shakes her head, and then dives deep and fast from the sky. I am frightened for her, afraid that she has either lost conscience or control of her flight.

"Raven!"

"Don't worry about her," BB assures me. "She's fine. She enjoys doing that. You see, she likes stunts and being fearless, she likes to say she has no fears. It's just her personality. She doesn't like to be noticed, so she's flying where we can't see her."

BB's right…the lower clouds cover Raven completely.

On the ground, we creep towards a man dressed in a white suit. I accidentally crack a branch underneath of me, and the man swerves around.

"And what do we have here? Ah, my little Teen Titans to battle me again? Heh, you won't be winning this time!" the man utters, completely confident.

"You wish, Dr. Light! Titans, GO!" Robin yells.

Star begins making her green balls of light in her hand and throwing them at the Dr. Cy changes his arm, right before our eyes, into a gun and shoots blue rays at Dr. Light, screaming, "Oh hell yea! Cannon blaster! Woo-hoo!" Robin is reaching for his belt and pulling out various weapons and flinging them at the Dr. BB transforms into an animal I have never seen in my life, big, husky, with a horn, and charges at Dr. Light.

But the Dr. diverges all these attacks. And he counter-attacks each Titan with an enormous blast of white rays, laughing all the while.

Raven whispers, "No…" and then I can sense a change in her. Her teeth look menacing, her tongue becomes pointy and dangles out of her mouth, her purple eyes become bright red and fierce, and she begins to growl.

"Oh, shit! Rae's going freak-o again!" Cy whimpers.

I am completely surprised to see Cy scared. I thought he was the big tough-guy in the group.

"Dr. Light! Didn't you have enough the last time?" Raven screams.

Dr. Light, apparently remembering the Titans had a Raven, cowers behind his hands, his face stripped of its confidence.

"Well? Did you have enough, or do I have to do it again?" Raven grows in height, her eyes gleaming red, and flows over to Dr. Light, staring down at him with a vicious gaze.

"No, no…enough…" Dr. Light whimpers.

"So, you surrender?"

"NO!"

"Then…" At this, Raven's eyes burst with red. Her teeth sink into her skin. Her eyes grow wider. Her tongue licks her lips. "I shall show you not to play around anymore…" Raven's voice has grown deeper and more threatening.

All the Titans look troubled. They are worried about their friend, but more scared for themselves. For, it seems, Raven cannot truly control her actions when she is like this.

Raven reaches out with a dark hand and grabs a hold of Dr. Light. He squirms and wriggles about in her enlarged spirit-like hand.

"No, no! Please, no!" he begs. "Mercy, mercy! Please, Titans…I beg you!"

"Too late for that," Raven chuckles evilly.

"Raven!" Robin yells.

Instantly, as if popping out of a trance, Raven returns to normal. She shrinks in size, her teeth shrink smaller, her eyes become their usual purple. And her tongue, after lolling out of her mouth for a few uncomfortable seconds, slithers back inside her mouth, no longer pointy.

The Titans stare at Raven, who gazes worridly at Dr. Light. The man lies on the asphalt, clutching himself strangely, as if he is being tortured or teased.

"Raven…" BB's voice trails off as Robin motions for him to stop.

Raven looks about herself, glances at each one of the Titans, then takes a few steps. She notices me, stops, stares long and hard, and then walks off faster then before.

"I need to be alone…" is the only excuse she gives us.

"She's bad…not me…" I whisper.
