(Disclaimer: I do not own Teen Titans.)
She looked normal enough as far as the Titans could tell. The girl was looking out the window of the living room. She had her thumbs hooked in the pockets of her worn, dark-blue jeans. Her long-sleeved shirt was plain and black, but not as black as her hair. Her hair was just long enough to reach the middle of her back. Her skin was slightly tanned; she was not dark or pale. She looked normal enough – until she turned around.
She had no pupils. Her eyes were completely silver. They reflected any light like the moon reflects the light of the sun. A lock of black hair fell across one of her silver eyes as she tilted her head.
"May I have my knives back?"
"No way, man," Cyborg answered immediately. "I couldn't even get the one you threw to budge!"
"Cyborg's right. You're too dangerous with those things for us to give them back before we get a few answers," Robin agreed.
The girl tossed her head indignantly. "You all are dangerous enough without knives. What makes you think they're all I have? By the way, your demon child has a visitor."
"What?" Beast Boy scratched his head, confused.
"Raven," Robin retorted. "What do you mean?"
The girl rolled her shoulders and stretched lazily. She watched Starfire zoom away to check on Raven and yawned. "Look, I've had a long night. If you try to stop him, you'll just get killed. You know that, right?"
Just then Starfire flew into the room. "Friend Raven is not in her room!"
The girl rolled her silver eyes. "No, she's on her way back from the lighthouse. No one canceled the call, remember? But you don't need to worry. He won't hurt her."
As if on cue, Raven stormed into the room. All the lights broke, leaving the strange girl silhouetted against the moonlight. Raven ignored her friends and approached the girl.
"What are you doing here! You're a – "
"Good to see you, too, cousin."
"Cousin!" The four other Titans stared at the pair.
"Unfortunately," Raven answered. She rounded on the girl again. "You led him here? You shouldn't even have come here! How dare you put my friends and me in danger like this!"
"Calm down, Rae. You really want to have uncle Trigon join our little family reunion?"
Raven's eyes had been glowing red. The glow died as she backed off. "What are you doing here?"
Raven's cousin turned away. "We were fighting, and I stumbled through a wormhole... I ended up here. He must have fallen through with me."
"No," Raven snapped. "If he fell with you, you'd have landed in the same exact spot. He followed you."
"Oh, how romantic! My magazines speak of boys following girls to other countries out of love, but your suitor has followed you across dimensions!"
Raven and her cousin stared at Starfire, as did the other Titans. "Uh, Starfire? This isn't romantic. This guy is trying to kill her," Raven corrected in a monotone.
"Oh." Starfire blushed. "That is not so romantic after all."
"Look, can I stay here tonight?" Raven's cousin yawned again. "I could really use some sleep."
"No," Raven snapped.
"Why not? She's your cousin," Beast Boy exclaimed.
"I too do not understand why you would turn away your own cousin," Starfire added.
Raven raised an eyebrow and looked at her fellow teammates. All of them were nodding. "You all want her to stay?"
"Yeah, man. What could it hurt."
"Yes, indeed. She is in need of shelter and rest."
"Dude, of course!"
"Why not for one night? She did help us out earlier."
Raven sighed. "For one night. Got it?"
Raven's cousin nodded. She moved to the couch and made herself comfortable. She was asleep before anyone could even ask her what her name was.
Robin, Cyborg, Beast Boy, and Starfire stared at her with wide eyes.
"She was indeed in need of sleep, yes?"
Raven snorted. "That's my cousin for you, Starfire."
"For me? I do not understand..."
