Ok, Chapter 3! Hey, is it just me, or is anyone else noticing how fast I get these chapters up (when my computer isn't being stupid, that is)? Wow, I'm guessing that would be because I have no life…..lol, to my whole, ya know, 5 reviewers, thank you for your insight; it is greatly appreciated…..And I do realize that I moved the whole BBxRae thing a bit fast, I was just trying to get the point across as quickly as possible, but my writing should be less sucky now (hopefully). That last chapter was really bad and I didn't like it at all. So this one shall be better. Ok, here I go!

Raven sat in the common room watching the sun rise. Last night's events were a bit confusing to her and she was still trying to figure everything out. She sipped her herbal tea and decided she wouldn't spare it another thought. She shivered and drew her cloak around her. Though the sun was rising and she knew it was going to be a warm spring day, the tower was a little chilly as the nights were still cold with winters' chill. At that moment, Terra entered the room. Raven tensed up, but was also surprised; it was still early and Terra looked like she could use the extra rest. Terra also looked surprised, as though she had not expected anyone to be in the common room at such early hours. She glared at the empath with great disdain.

"What are you doing in here?" she sneered.

"I'm always up this early. And I live here, remember? Unlike you;" Raven commented, "you don't actually live here and you can leave just as easily as you came." Terra laughed.

"Tell your friends that, Raven. I destroyed half the city and they STILL love me. I don't think I'll be leaving any time soon." She got close to Ravens' face and grinned. "But then again, maybe I won't be sticking around very long. You never know what could come up." Raven stood up, ready to blow Terra to pieces and silently chanted in her head to keep her emotions in check.

"You aren't going to hurt my friends again, Terra. I won't allow it," she said through gritted teeth. Their eyes were locked; each one filled with hatred for the other. Before they could kill each other, Robin entered the room and immediately sensed something wrong.

"What's going on here?" he asked with furrowed brows. Raven and Terra backed away from each other and the former raised her hood and picked up her latest spell book, heading for a corner of the room to read.

"Nothing," she said blankly, "everything's fine." She shot Terra an 'I hate you with a passion' kind of look, but it wasn't seen by the blonde girl, as she had already bounced over to Robin to say good morning and to thank him once again for letting her stay in the tower. Raven rolled her eyes. How could she get her friends to believe that Terra was still with Slade, still evil? Actually, convincing them wasn't really the problem, she knew if she told Robin that Terra was evil he'd believe her without question, but she didn't know of Terra's intentions yet and sending her away too quickly could cause unknown effects……No, better to wait….

Slowly more Titans began to wake and enter the common room, Beast Boy being the last. Soon everyone was there, eating breakfast and chatting away. Raven stayed in the corner, reading her book and giving Terra the occasional glare. Though everyone was talking and getting along just fine, Raven sensed a certain quietness in the room, as though everyone was deep in thought. This was to be expected of course; everyone was thinking about the arrival of Terra. Beast Boy especially seemed to be lost in his own world. Raven was curious as to what he was thinking. Sure, she could read minds, but she refused to read the minds of her friends as she thought it was an invasion of privacy. As she was about to get up and go to her room, Robin suggested that they go to combat practice. She sighed and put her book down and headed to the course with the others.

After they had trained for a few hours, the Titans decided to go for pizza. While everyone argued over what kind of pizza to get, Starfire ordered a large bottle of mustard. Beast Boy leaned back in his chair. He decided to stop arguing for his vegan pizza; he knew no one would want it. He surveyed the pizza place. There were lots of people there; it was a Friday and everyone wanted pizza on a Friday. There was one table in a dark corner of the place which was occupied by a girl that looked to be about his age. She had long, jet black hair that was pulled back into a single braid. She held an Edgar Allen Poe book in front of her, but she too seemed to be surveying the place. Her eyes met Beast Boy's and she quickly looked back down at her book. He stood up and walked over to her table.

"Hey there. Watcha readin'?" he asked. She turned the book towards him so he could read the title of the story. It was A Tell-Tale Heart.

"It's my favorite," she said. Beast Boy looked around and didn't see anyone else approaching the table, so he assumed she was unaccompanied.

"You look kind of alone for a Friday night. Waitin' for someone?" he asked casually. She looked at him.

"No."

"Oh," he said, not quite sure what to say next. "Well, would you like to sit with us then?" he asked kindly. She stared him in the eyes and he noticed the shocking shade of green her irises were. She smiled up at him.

"No thank you, Beast Boy. It was a nice offer though." She stood up and put her book into a black bag which she slung over her shoulder and walked out of the pizzeria. Beast Boy looked slightly puzzled. He hadn't told her his name. He shrugged. Oh well. Maybe she just knows the Titans. he thought as he headed back to the table where his friends had finally decided on a cheese pizza. Terra looked at him quizzically.

"Where did you go?" she asked, with a slightly protective tone.

"Just to talk to some girl," he replied. "Are we eating yet or what?" He sat down and the Titans munched on their pizza and talked and laughed, having a great time.

The girl stared at the Titans through the window of the pizza place, her fingers tugging at her long, black braid. He had been really nice to her….And she knew about Terra's plan…..she had to do something…..but what?

Well, there you have it. At first I had trouble making it long enough, but I think I managed. I don't particularly love it, but then I never like my own work, so I guess it's up to you to decide. The girl in the pizza place, yeah, we'll definitely see more of her, she's a character I made up and is crucial to the plot (I added the Edgar Allen Poe thing because that's MY favorite story and I just had to put a little bit of me in therXD)…..Raven and Terra are at each other's throats and about ready to go at it, so they might wanna watch it…. Anyway, hope to have the next chapter up soon, tell me what ya think, ideas and suggestions are always welcome!
