The second chapter arrives! Sorry it took so long. I couldn't get onto the computer with half of the second chapter on it, we replaced that computer, and I had a mental fit that I lost what I wrote, as well as my fic wouldn't show. Anyways, here is the chapter that proves that this is actually a Teen Titans fic…
As this fic gets longer (longer as in longer than 1 chapter), let me remind you that I'm not great with the smaller details in stories (such as, making herbal tea and the exact spelling of what raven always says), so try to forgive me about that.
By the way, this takes place after the whole Trigon takes over the world thing.

Raven yawned and sat up on her bed. She opened her eyes and looked around the room. Something seemed off. She had a feeling that it was just her imagination, but she still wondered about it.
Swinging her feet over to the floor, she got out of bed and went downstairs to the kitchen. She didn't see anyone on her way there, but it was 7am so they might still be asleep.
When she got to the kitchen, she went to the cupboard and got out a tea bag. She then went to the stove and started to boil water.
Waiting for the water finish boiling, she spotted a book of hers on the other side of the kitchen. "Azerath Metrion Zinthos," she muttered. Only the weird thing is, the book didn't come to her.
Puzzled about this, Raven said it again, this time louder. "Azerath Metrion Zinthos." It still didn't work. She said it over and over, each time louder and more powerfully. "Azerath Metrion Zinthos. Azerath Metrion Zinthos! AZERATH METRION ZINTHOS!" But the book did not budge.
Raven wondered if something was wrong with the book, such as it wasn't affected by her spell. She then tried another object. Turning to a chair, she said, "Azerath Metrion Zinthos!" But the chair didn't move either.
Raven started to get freaked out by this. Why weren't her powers working? Did she lose control of them? She started to try to lift other objects with her powers, from pieces of fruit to other chairs to the refrigerator to the kettle on the stove, which was now whistling, but she couldn't lift anything. She then tried to fly, enter her friends' minds, and other things she could do, but none of her powers worked.
While she was trying to figure out what was wrong, Robin entered the room. "Hey Raven," he said, going towards the fridge. Opening the fridge to get something out of it to eat, he turned to face her and noticed that she had a wrried expression on her face. "Are you ok?"
Raven got rid of her worried expression and went over to her over boiled water. "I'm fine," she said in a monotone voice as she turned off the stove and removed her kettle.
"No you're not," Robin said, walking over to her. "Something's wrong that you're not telling me."
"No, there isn't," Raven said in a slightly annoyed tone, putting the kettle down on the counter and getting out a mug.
"Yes, there is. I can tell there is," Robin replied.
"Well you're wrong about that," Raven snapped, putting the mug she got out down and turning to face him.
Robin walked over and placed a hand on her shoulder. "Raven, you need to understand that you can trust me. You can tell me any-"
"Robin, stop telling me that!" Raven shouted at him, causing him to jump back. "There are certain things that I just can't tell you!"
Robin winced, but then noticed something. Although Raven got very angry, nothing happened. Nothing broke or fell. Everything was fine. Comprehending this, he quietly asked Raven, "So how long have you lost your powers?"
Raven glared at him before returning to making her tea. She poured her water into the mug while saying, "Just this morning."
"Any clue how it happened or how you can fix it?" he asked.
Raven put the tea bag into the mug. "No. I only found out several minutes before you walked in."
"And are you planning to tell the other teammates?"
Raven picked up the mug and turned around. She hesitated before answering. "Eventually."
"You should tell them sooner rather than later. And since you didn't tell me until I guessed it, I'm not sure if you were going to tell them at all."
Raven picked up a spoon and mixed her tea. "I'll tell them when they get up." And with that she put the spoon in the sink, threw away the tea bag, and left with her tea.

I hate to give bad news, but I'm going away tomorrow with no access to computers for 2 weeks. I'll have lots of paper, so maybe I'll write some of the next chapter. Maybe not. Who knows. Anyways, please review! My goal is to get at least 1 review per chapter (a pathetic, yet reasonable goal), so I won't post the next chapter until I get it. Or until I get impatient and post it anyway…Whichever comes first!
