Chapter Three: The Meeting
"Robin!" Beastboy screamed across the hallway. The titan was in trauma. His heart was pounding as he took another glance at Raven's empty room.
All in a rush, Robin came running into the dark room. "What is it, Beastboy?"
He looked rather mad as he ran in.
"Raven…she's not in her ROOM!" Beastboy screamed. He bite his nails as he said this. (If he had any)
"WHAT!" Robin yelled while he gave Beastboy an angry look.
"It was SO not my fault!" Beastboy pleaded innocently. "She ran on her own!"
"Who said it was ALL your fault?" Robin looked down at BB.
"I just thought-" The sad Beastboy tried to finish as he was interrupted by another titan.
"What on Earth is going on!" Cyborg came into the room.
"Raven's gone." Robin exclaimed as he investigated the scene. He was looking for clues like if she was kidnapped or stolen by Slade….you get my point?
"Gone? Rae?" Cyborg questioned as he examined the bedroom.
This was truly a mystery needing to be solved. What evil fiend would steal precious Raven? Whoever it was must have been a pervert of some sort.
"Our dear friend Raven is gone!" Starfire screamed from nowhere. She plunged into Raven's room very frightened at what she saw. There was no Raven anywhere.
"So, Robin, you got any ideas on who would steal Raven?" Cyborg asked. He picked up Raven's book that she was reading earlier. He touched the book's frame and admired the structure.
"I don't know, Cyborg, there's no evidence." Robin looked mad at this. "I bet it was Slade."
"Slade! Is Slade the one who has taken our dear Raven?" Starfire exclaimed. She gave Robin a worried look.
"Don't know, Starfire. But once I find out, I'll be hot on his trail." Robin assured himself.
"How do you know if Slade took Raven?" Beastboy questioned.
"That's what I thought." Cyborg said.
Robin glanced at his teammates very uncertain. "I don't know…only time will tell."
Meanwhile…Ding Ding! The clock had struck seven all around the city. It was a cold day to be out. Teenagers were out partying in clubs and parks like always. The breeze started to pick up, chilling a young teenager to the bone. Raven was out on her own in the big city.
People walked past her and took a very quick glance at the titan. They whispered gossip to one another about the mysterious girl.
"Isn't she a teen titan?" One whispered in her friend's ear.
"Why is she outside…by herself?" One teenager asked her friend.
Raven ignored their gestures. She didn't care what people thought of her. She just wanted some space from the tower…without the titans. She just wanted to be known as Raven…not a teen titan. Just Raven.
I wonder if any of the titans are worried. Probably don't even notice a thing.
Raven thought. She shivered from the cold.
"If she wasn't here maybe I can concentrate better." Was the only thought that repeated in her head. She tried to meditate earlier but didn't succeed like she had thought.
"Stupid Beastboy." Raven said angrily. She maintained her anger as she had said that. She didn't really "hate" Beastboy…she just couldn't stand the burden. He would always joke too much that was the problem. That's why Raven hated it.
As the titan walked, she noticed a small café. It had a big coffee cup on top of the roof. (How can no one notice that enormous thing on such a SMALL roof!)
"Guess I can hang out here for awhile." Raven said in grief. She stormed right in the little café named Java Lava. (Hey! That name seems familiar. I wonder where it came from….)
As she was in, the bitter cold was locked shut behind her. Raven wasn't cold once getting in.
"Welcome to Java Lava! The friendliest, socialiest, hippiest, darnest, countriest, loveliest, coolest, biggest, kindest, nicest, and all greatest little café place in town! " A friendly greeter spoke with a high tone as the titan entered the door. She smiled brightly as she looked at Raven. She was out of breath.
Raven just looked at the greeter. "I've seen better."
The greeter stood quiet. She didn't speak another word to the titan.
Raven began to walk to the counter, where they serve their drinks, and sat down.
She was worn out. From all the villians, they were fighting today, her muscles cramped. Then, Raven began to think of what Beastboy said. Maybe he's right. I shouldn't be in the Teen Titans.
Once thinking, Raven sighed and glanced at the surroundings. She saw paintings of coffee on the walls, awards, and plants. This was a great place for the artsy people. The place even had a stage for poets to recite their poetry. It was okay. Raven liked the place. This was definitely the place Raven was gonna hang out more. Who knows, maybe she'll meet someone special.
"I see you like the place." Someone from the counter said.
The titan was startled when she heard that. Her eyes grew big once she saw the speaker.
"I didn't mean to scare you. I seem to have a rep for that." The young teenager smiled.
"I don't do fear." Raven said with sureness in her voice.
"Okay…." The teenager said sadly. "Are you new?"
Raven stared at him. Why won't he leave me alone. He's just like Beastboy.
"Uh…yeah." Raven answered. That's when she looked up at the teen and noticed his adorable eyes. They were blue and his hair was covering his face a little. He looked kindof nervous talking to Raven.
"Well…since your new…" The teenager quickly ran to the back of the room and came out with a piece of paper. "You get a card for free coffee all this week."
"Free coffee?" Raven asked sternly. "Why?"
"You're the cutest customer I ever had so far." He blushed.
"That's no reason you should give free coffee." Raven said. "That's kindof illegal."
"Are you a Teen Titan?" The young man asked. He changed the subject quickly. He looked down at Raven sitting down on the stool.
Raven stared back at him. "Yeah."
"Oh that is SO cool! Robin is the coolest …but you can kick ass and plus you're my favorite." He blushed again.
Is he flirting with me? Raven thought. "Okay?"
"You're Raven." He smiled with enthusiasm. "I'm glad I got to meet you."
He took his hand out for Raven to shake it but the titan didn't bother. She already didn't like him so why the heck will Raven shake his hand. For a few seconds, the teen took his hand back in his pocket looking disappointed.
Raven turned away from the counter. "So…what's your name?"
The teen began to talk calmly. "It's just Stranger."
"Stranger?" Raven said alarmed as she turned back towards the teen. "That's nice."
The teen smiled at Raven but Raven didn't smile back. "So…Stranger…you work here?"
"You can tell?" The teen joked.
Raven sighed. Another joker in town…great.
"I work here part-time." Stranger exclaimed. "It's pretty snazzy at this place."
"Let me guess…your dad works here and wants you to follow in his foot-steps." Raven said.
"Good guess…and yeah. My dad gets caught up in this crappy place." Stranger spoke.
"Can tell. Believe me." Raven responded quickly.
Stranger pushed his hair back. "Really? Didn't know it was that obvious."
"A little too obvious if you ask me." Raven commented. She folded her hands and glanced at the clock on top of the entrance door. It was now 8:30 p.m. One hour and thirty minutes had passed.
"So how's the tower?" The teen asked the titan.
Raven took her interest away from the clock and back to Stranger. "Usual."
"Is Starfire still learning about our Earth customs?" Stranger asked.
"Why do you what to know?" Raven answered with tension.
"Nothing. I'm just a big fan of the Teen Titans, that's all." Stranger said scared.
He knew about Raven's anger tantrums. Any sense of anger from Rae was bad.
"I got to go." Raven said as she got up.
"No! Stay for a couple more minutes." Stranger pulled at Raven's cloak.
"Why?" Raven asked the mysterious fan named Stranger.
"You can't leave yet. Please tell me more about life as a titan." Stranger pleaded.
Raven rolled her eyes. "Don't make me hit you."
"Please Rae! They're not gonna be worried if you came back a little late." Stranger tugged.
"Yeah but I didn't-" Raven tried to complete her sentence but her fan pulled her back to her seat. "Guess I can stay here for a COUPLE of minutes just for my fan's sake."
Stranger smiled at the titan and began to ask questions to Raven. Rae answered every one of them quickly and vibrantly. At least someone in this town wanted to learn about Raven. He wanted to know almost everything. I mean what harm can a fan do? Really….
Raven was so hooked on to Stranger that she forgot what time it was. Four hours had passed and now the titans are probably really worried for Raven's safety.
"It's midnight, Stranger! You're suppose to tell me when a couple of minutes pass!" Raven said angrily. "Do you not know how worried my team mates are?"
Stranger looked upset. "You can go now."
Raven got up.
"Just promise me that you'll come back here tomorrow." Stranger said sadly as he watched her go.
Raven looked back at Stranger and quickly grinned. "Sure."
Then she went out the door forgetting what Stranger had said to her and what she had promised.
