Many thanks to ravenslair for reviewing. Sorry about the spelling mistakes, I never was any good at spelling. As requested I have continued with the story.
Disclaimer: I don't own the Teen Titans.
Raven woke up early the next morning. At 4.30 she entered the main room. She planned to leave a note, explaining her departure to the Titans. She just had to transfer all of her belongings into a pocket dimension that she could access from wherever she went and she would be ready to go. As she placed the note on the counter she heard an all to familiar voice 'Do you really think that you can save your friends by leaving them? This world will be mine, even if you should leave!' Raven panicked. What should she do? Either way earth was doomed. She took the note and left for her room. At a more reasonable time she would visit an old friend for advice.
Robin woke up with a start shortly after 4.30. He felt panicked for no reason. His mind immediately went to Raven, and he knew that she was the reason for his panic. Something was wrong with her. He quickly exited his room, noting that he was still wearing yesterdays uniform. He found Raven walking back to her room. He opened his mouth to speak, unsure of what he should say. However, Raven beat him to it. 'I'm not leaving. It won't make any difference. He'll still destroy earth.' Robin was stunned. 'So, what are you going to do now?' he asked. 'I have to go and see someone later on today. She'll know what to do.' With that Raven entered her room and locked the door. She began to clean up after last night's accident to kill some time.
Robin knew he wouldn't get back to sleep so he returned to his room, showered and changed and went to the main room to make some breakfast. As he ate he logged on the computer and began to do research. He soon lost track of time and before he knew it, it was 7.30 and Cyborg and Beast Boy walked into the main room emerged in their usual pre breakfast argument. 'Meat' 'Tofu' 'Meat, ya scrawny little grass stain!' 'Dude, I've been most of these animals, its like eating me! Besides, tofu is way better for you. All the fat and stuff in meat can clog up your arteries and stuff!' 'Man, I'm half robot! I don't need to worry bout stuff like that!' With that Cyborg proceeded to retrieve his breakfast from the refrigerator and prepare it. It consisted of 3 different types of sausage, bacon, a whole ham, eggs, burgers, waffles and BBQ ribs!
By the time Cyborg's breakfast was ready Starfire had appeared, still dressed in fluffy pink pjs and slippers. She greeted everyone in her usual, cheerful way. As Cyborg sat down to eat Beast Boy started up again. 'Dude, like a dozen innocent animals had to die just to feed you for one meal! And ribs for breakfast? What were you thinking?' 'I was thinking bout eating my delicious meaty breakfast in peace grass stain. Leave me alone or I'll feed ya Stars pudding and make ya think its tofu!' 'Please friends, where is Raven? I wish to make her the Pudding of Ragarnosh.' said Starfire. 'What's that Star?' asked Beast Boy. 'It is what the people of my planet eat when we are to face troubled times. 'I don't know where she is Star. Try the roof, she might be meditating.' said Cyborg, in-between mouthfuls. 'She's gone out to see someone. She'll be back later.' said Robin, standing up. 'Dude, how long have you been there? And who's she gone to see?' questioned Beast Boy. 'I don't know who see went to see. She didn't say.' Robin frowned. He was worried about her. The others picked up on this and remained silent.
Raven knocked on the door of apartment 183. As she waited for an answer she looked around. The corridor was a mess! The dull paint peeled of the walls and wires hung from the light fittings; which flickered on and off. A small child wandered out of an apartment and stared at Raven. She was glad that she had changed into normal clothes and put a glamour over her hair to make it appear brown to all who looked at her; she wasn't in the mood to be recognised as a Teen Titan, certainly not in this neighbourhood.
The door in front of Raven opened to revel a young woman. She was tall, about 6 foot and well built with piercing green eyes and blood red hair that sat on her shoulders and stuck out in various directions. 'Long time no see Rach' the women said as she moved aside to allow Raven in. 'I've been busy with the Titans, and don't call me that!' Raven ran her hand through her hair and it returned to its normal purple. She signed and spoke 'Kali I need your help. It's started. I need your help to end it before the Titans get hurt.' 'Come on Rach, you know as well as I that it can't be stopped.' Kali said and with a smile added 'But it can be changed.' 'How?' questioned Raven, a glimmer of hope in her eyes. 'Well, you could fight him.' 'What!' exclaimed Raven 'Waste my chance in a pointless battle that would end the way I fear; with him winning!' 'Rach, he's scared of your power! Your humanity makes you far stronger than he can begin to comprehend! That's why he sends you these apocalyptic visions, to scare you in to believing he is too strong to fight!' 'How do you know about my visions?' questioned Raven 'Because I had them when my father tried to take control of me, cousin. We've all been through it. Your father is just a hell of a lot stronger.' 'Yeah, he is a hell of a lot stronger, which means I can't beat him!' 'Why not! You have done before! When he attacked Azarath you forced him back through the portal, and that was four years ago! Your powers have only increased since then!' Kali shouted, angry at Ravens refusal to believe she could fight Trigon, and win. Raven replied 'I can't control my full power. I only managed to banish him back to his dimension because I was angry; furious! He killed my mother in front of me and I couldn't control my rage!' 'Then start learning kid! You're not alone. Your friends the Titans will do anything for you. We'll all fight to the bitter end for you. You gonna let us all down? You can do this. The prophecy only says you will release him. It doesn't say what you'll do after that. Make your own destiny.' Raven looked unconvinced. 'Look, Rach, do you really think that the council would have allowed you to survive if they thought you couldn't handle this?' 'Stop calling me 'Rach' Kali!' Raven exclaimed exasperatedly. 'Why? It's your name Rachel, the one your mother gave you. What would you rather I called you? Gem of Scath? Daughter of Trigon? Demon Spawn?' Raven glared at Kali 'How can you call me things like that? You're no different!' 'Yeah, but I made peace with what I am a long time ago.' Raven let out an infuriated cry and teleported out in a flash of black. Kali shook her head and walked over to an ornate cabinet that sat in the far corner of her apartment. She opened it to reveal an alter covered with a black cloth. She lit a red candle and blew a silver power onto it. She smiled and said 'Time to call in the cavalry.'
Raven appeared back in her room in a black flash. She proceeded to change in to her uniform and meditate in an attempt to calm her emotions after her chat with Kali. She woke from meditation at about 5PM and went to the main room to get something to eat.
Robin was the only one in the room. She tried to avoid him but the boy wonder didn't give up easily. 'So, did you find to the person you were looking for?' Raven nodded in response 'Did you find out anything that can help?' 'BLEEP BLEEP BLEEP' Robin was interrupted by the alarm. He ran to the computer and brought up the police report. 'Trouble at the docks!' he shouted as the other Titans rushed into the room. 'Raven, teleport us there, now!' he commanded. Raven nodded, raised her hands and chanted 'Azarath Metrion Zinthos.'
Who thinks Cyborg's breakfast sounds yummy?
Please review. I will update as soon as I finish typing chapter three.
