Dislaimer: I do NOT own the Teen Titans. I mean, i wish i did by no such luck right?

The First of the Last

The Titans were lounging exhaustedly around the Tower's main room. They had just kicked Cinderblock's new and improved butt and were totally immersed in finding all of their many, many bruises. Robin and Starfire were sitting on the couch and leaning on each other because they were too exhausted to move. Beastboy and Cyborg sprawled everywhere on the floor groaning and moaning. "Geez, what has Cinderblock been doing, working out? He almost dented my chest when he hit me that last time!" Cyborg was indignant. "Yeah, well you think you got it bad?" Beastboy complained. "Try getting hit without the metal covering. I think I broke something!" "I wish you'd break your mouth," Raven muttered as BB continued to complain like twenty people at full volume. The girl from Azarath leaned against the corner of the room, attempting to meditate.

Raven stood up cautiously when the noise did not get softer and limped her way out of the common room to the roof where she began to meditate in the peace and quiet. She sighed in relief as the aching in her limbs began to be relaxed away. That last fight had been dangerous. She had almost lost her temper twice and let out Rage. she had to be more careful or else her friends or the innocent bystanders could have gotten badly hurt. "Never again, Father," she vowed, "I won't let you win again." Raven couldn't let her friends get hurt; they meant too much to her now and if someone threatened her adopted family, they threatened her. She wouldn't tolerate that.

Sighing and letting out a small groan, Raven stopped meditating and walked carefully back down the stairs to the common room. Everyone was exactly where she had left them over an hour ago, except Robin and Starfire had actually fallen asleep and presumably fell into each others' laps. Or maybe not by accident Raven thought. Although no one knew, she watched every one of her friends very closely and knew more about them than they thought. She had noticed the way Robin and Starfire looked at each other when they thought no one was watching.

"Alright, who wants food?" she asked. Cyborg started and sat up. "Wha- food? ME! I am soo hungry!" BB, STarfire and Robin all agreed. Raven was just getting out the ingredients for herbal tea when the alarm went off to loud groans. "TITANS, GO!" Robin shouted as they all sprang into action, albeit very stiffly.
