Okay, so this is probably my longest chapter yet. I could check to be sure, but why de-lazify myself? De-lazify-to not be lazy; the act of losing your laziness lol. Okay, so I really like this chapter. I wrote it a little differently then I wrote the others I think. Anyway, I can never have enough reviews, so you know what to do by now! Oh, and I do NOT own the Teen Titans, only the plot and Ransford. (Haha, wasn't that boring!)

P.S: to anonymous, who disliked the pervertish stuff, yeah, I hated it too. Lol. I just wanted to put in more Rob/Star, because they weren't looking like they were a very big couple, and believe me, it hurt me more to write it than it did for you to read it. Lol. Okay, who should I dedicate this chapter to? Hmmm how about Firenze2000 ? Okay, this one is for you! lol.

Okay, this is definately where the story is going to pick up, so brace yourselfs! You'll be shocked!

Raven was shoved to the side again. She hated crowds. She felt nauseated and claustrophobic.

She pushed herself through a gossiping pack of jittery girls talking about nothing important. They were all like empty shells, not conversing, but repeating what they were told.

She crept into a local coffee shop quietly. She found a table in the corner swallowed by shadows. She sipped her herbal tea and took in the other people. They had slight depth, at least. Some emotions that were their own, some understanding of the world.

"Hey." said a guy who looked to be about 17 or 18. He was wearing a black tee-shirt and black jeans. He had chestnut hair and mahogany eyes.

"Hey." she replied, lacking anything else to say.

"Come here often?" he asked. She shrugged.

"Every now and then, you know." He sipped his coffee.

"I'm Robert." he said.

"Rachel." she said, deciding to use her secret identity. Otherwise she knew Robin would have her head. There was a moment's silence.

"Can I show you something?" he asked. She looked him in the eyes and gasped. How could she not have noticed the way his eyes twinkled and danced in the light? They way just looking at him gave her a strange feeling of serenity she have never felt before?

"Come on. I know you'll like it." he said smoothly. She nodded without hesitation. She would do anything to follow those magical eyes. He took her by the arm and steered her outside. There was a black van with tinted windows. He put her in the back and made to walk off, but she clung to his arm.

"Please stay." she pleaded, begging him. He smirked.

"As you please." he hopped in with her, and she was content, staring at him. Thirty minutes later the van stopped and the doors was opened by two thugs. Raven walked out with Robert, clinging to him as though she had claws. They were in an abandoned warehouse.

Raven felt Robert crumple next to her as something chilly brushed past her quickly.

"Robert?" she asked, staring into his blank eyes. And then the twinkle was gone. How had she gotten here? Why had she gone with this guy she had never met before? What was wrong with her? Didn't she know it was a trap?

"Hello my sweet little Raven." came a voice from the shadows. A highly familiar voice. A voice she had dreamed about and cried over many nights. A man slowly walked out of the shadows.

He had snowy white hair, a pale complexion, a grey shirt with long sleeves, and black baggy pants. But it was his eyes that caught her attention. They were a cold light gray, and she recognized them immediately.

"Malchior." she hissed, getting into an defensive stance. He smirked.

"How are you darling?" he asked sarcastically as she slitted her eyes.

"How did you get out?" she demanded. He leaned against the wall cooly.

"Well, I had help. Some thief in a black mask with a red X opened the chest, took out my book and slipped it into one of your library books. Well, you brought me to the Library conveniently next to a very old spell book. I've learned a lot from it Raven. Relieving curses, getting a body, hypnotizing, and even soul-shifting." Raven gasped. Soul-shifting was a sacred art. It was when you removed your own soul from your body and put it into a dead one. When you were done you could switch back into your original body.

Raven looked at Robert with a sense of foreboding. She lifted up his shirt and screamed. IN his chest there was a gaping hole over his heart, which she noticed had been taken out.

"Yes, we needed his heart. Put up some fight though. However, once I was him I could easily hypnotize you." said Malchior with amusement in his voice.

"You're sick." said Raven. "Wait, we?" she asked. MAlchior grinned evilly as another figure emerged from the shadows. Raven gasped.

"I should have known you were involved Slade." she spat.

"Yes, I normally am, aren't I? And by the way, I am the one who hired Red X when I learned about Malchior. Turns out that was a good decision, seeing as to he had this plan when I found him a while afterwards."

"And just what is the plan?" asked Raven suspiciously. They both smirked simultaneously.

"Well, it does involve you."

Robin slipped on a robe and went to the door. He heard a commotion outside, and being the leader he always needed to keep the peace. He stepped outside and saw quite a scene.Ransford was throwing everything and anything he could get his dark energy on at Beastboy, while Beastboy was finding many ways to avoid the hurtling objects and attempting to murder Ransford in many different animal forms. Cyborg was cowering in the corner, the idea of helping long abandoned.

"GUYS STOP IT!" yelled Robin, avoiding a hurtling table that nearly hit his head. Neither acknowledged Robin. Beastboy leaned forward, trying to bite Ransford in his Velocoraptor form. (Who saw Jurassic Park? All three were good. I only saw 1 and 3 though. 3 was the scariest. With the giant snouted dinasour and the raptors...shivers) Robing leapt forward and clung to Beastboy's back while Cyborg, seeing help grabbed on to Ransford. They both slowly stopped trying to get free, and settled for giving each other death glares.

"It is your fault entirely and if you don't know it then you are definately dumber than I imagined!" screamed Beastboy as Ransford scoffed.

"This is not my fault at all. You are the only one to blame." retorted Ransford as he grew bigger, his eyes turned black and tentacles came out of his head. Beastboy paled slightly

"HELLO TITANS!" said a voice as a door banged open and Dr. Light stormed in. Then he noticed Ransford. "Another one?" he asked as he cowered behind Robin, who looked at him incredously. "Um, how far is the nearest jail?" he asked innocently. (Haha! Random, but I had to put that in. Lol. You understand right? RIGHT! everyone shakes head 'no' me-poo)

"Both of you stop all of this. It's stupid and immature." said Robin, handcuffing Dr. Light. "Raven took the night off. She just wants some peace and quiet, so she went to a café. Leave her alone tonight, alright? She told me what happened and it was both of your faults." Beastboy pouted while Ransford crossed his arms, becoming normal.

"I fail to see how this is my fault." said Ransford testilly.

"You confused Raven and I hope you realize that we need her on the team more than you need her on Azarath. Besides, you're too young to get married." he said.

"I wouldn't mind so long as it was far, far away." mumbled Dr. Light.

"Shut up! No one asked you!" yelled Beastboy angrilly.

"Matronomy with friend Raven? Oh, but that would be glorious! Perhaps I would even be given the role of the honorable maid, and-" Starfire began rambling about decorations and color schemes to Cyborg while Beastboy's jaw dropped.

"YOU ARE ENCOURAGING THIS STARFIRE!" yelled Beastboy.

"Why yes. Are you not also wishing for friend Raven and friend Ransford to lead a long, happy life together?" BB gaped at her.

"Why thank you Starfire. I'm sure that Raven will choose you to be the Maid of Honor." said Ransford, making Starfire beam.

"THERE WON'T BE A MAID OF HONOR, BECAUSE YOU TWO ARE NOT GETTING MARRIED!" screamed Beastboy, turning purple. (Haha, now he matches his jumpsuit!)

"Oh really? Because it seems to me that Raven would most likely choose me over you since she seems quite furious with you, and if I were her I certainly wouldn't forgive you." BB strained on Cyborg's grip, desperately trying to hurt Ransford.

"Woah, BB, calm down man," said Cyborg. "Let's just cool it. You wanna play a video game?" Beastboy growled lowly.

"LISTEN UP!" yelled Robin, catching everyone's attention. "I will NOT have fighting in my team! Now, why don't you both just go to your rooms to cool down." he said it as a statement, not a question.

"Not like I have a room anyway," mumbled Robin.

"Then go in Raven's room." snapped Robin.

"That isn't FAIR!" whined Beastboy. " When she gets back he'll be the first to talk to her." Robin scowled.

"Where do you suggest he goes beastboy?" asked Robin harshly. Beastboy knew it was a rheotorical question. (A/N: rhetorical- a question used to impress one; or in normal words, a question that you don't expect someone to answer, like "do you think I'm stupid or something?" what are you supposed to answer to something like that! I'll tell you what, NOTHING! Which makes it a RHETORICAL question!) Beastboy opened and closed his mouth, stripped of anything to say. "Good, that's taken care of. Now both of you go!" BB and Ransford both walked dejectedly to their (or A) bedroom.

Once Ransford was inside Raven's bedroom, he took a good look around. It was definately dark, and he enjoyed the gloom.

He went to her dresser and found a small black journal with 'Raven' written in gold ink with beautiful calligraphy on the cover. He smiled. This should be interesting... He sat down on the bed and opened to the first entry.

Dear Diary,

Well, today I met some amazing people. One is Robin, the actual ex-sidekick of the famous (or infamous) Batman. His name is Richard, but that's all he'll tell us. Of course if he knew Batman, it's assumed he'll be secretive and mysterious.

Another is Cyborg. His real name is Victor Stone. He got into an accident that he didn't really want to talk about, and his father helped keep him alive by making him part-machine.

The only other girl is Starfire. Technically that IS her real name since she's an alien, but we're making a false name. I'm thinking of Kori Anderson. She's far too cheerful. It annoys me.

The last one is Beastboy, or Garfield Logan. I think he got into some chemical accident that changed around his DNA, because he's green and can turn into and animal. He won't tell me though. He's alright, but I think I may have lead him on too much about him being funny. Now all he wants to do is tell me jokes.

Anyway, I don't think I'll stay here long. People come, people go. It would be unwise to get too attached...

TO BE CONTINUED...

A/N YES! I ran out of time and couldn't finish. It'll come later I promise. Until next time...
