Raven Quits

Raven sat quietly in the kitchen. She wanted nothing to do with any of Beast Boy's and Cyborg's fighting.

"COME ON DUDE! I DON'T EAT MEAT!!" Beast Boy yelled

"THEN GO COOK YOUR OWN FOOD!!" Cyborg said

"MAYBE I WILL!!" Beast Boy shouted back.

"Both of you stupid heads shut up!!" Raven yelled

"WHY DON'T YOU RAVEN!!" Cyborg and Beast Boy shouted and the doors opened. Robin and Starfire stood there in the doorway.

"And that is how we aliens make pudding" Starfire finished and both of them looked at the three fighting.

"That's the last time I'm ever going to hear people always telling me to shut up!!" Raven yelled and a lamp broke in half. She ran up to her room and Robin and Starfire looked at the two boys strangely.

"What did you do this time?" Robin asked

"We were just yelling and we sort of told Raven to shut up" Beast Boy said and they were both looking nervously at the ground.

"Not again!!" Starfire said and her eyes were a bright green.

"She might leave!!" Starfire said and ran up to Raven's room. Starfire knocked lightly on the door.

"WHAT?!?!" Raven yelled and Starfire heard slamming of the drawers.

"Friend Raven, please let me talk to you" Starfire said

"No Starfire! I don't want to talk to anybody" Raven yelled and made sure that 'anybody' was clear.

"But Friend, what do you intend to do?" Starfire asked

"I'm leaving Starfire" Raven said

"What no!!" Starfire screamed and ran down the stairs.

"Raven is leaving! What shall we do friends?" Starfire asked

"Nothing" Robin responded

"Why not friend Robin? Shall we not stop her?" Starfire asked

"We aren't going to stop her, but Beast Boy and Cyborg are going too" Robin said and took Starfire's hand.

"I trust that you can get Raven back" Robin said and Beast Boy and Cyborg nodded as they watched Robin and Starfire walk out of the room.

"See this is all you're fault" Beast Boy yelled

"MY fault? No surely it's you're fault!!" Cyborg shouted back and Raven came rushing down the stairs.

"Rae, you can't really leave can you? You're still part of the team" Beast Boy insisted

"Then Beast Boy I guess this means I quit!!" Raven yelled and flew out the door without another word to Beast Boy or Cyborg....

A week later...

Beast Boy and Cyborg had been looking for Raven everywhere, but she was nowhere to be found.

"Where could she be?" Beast Boy said to himself as he sat on his bed. His feet were dangling over the side of the bed. He was thinking a lot about Raven. Why was he thinking about her so much you ask? He was in love.... Nothing more to it. He had to face the facts that he and Cyborg had made Raven quit. It just wasn't something that happened on it's own, it was Beast Boy's and Cyborg's fault. Cyborg walked into the kitchen. They hadn't talked to each other since the day Raven left....

"I'm going to look for Raven!!" Cyborg yelled to all the other titans.

"NO! I am!!" Beast Boy yelled and they both ran out the door. Starfire and Robin walked into the room.

"Did you hear something?" Starfire asked and took her head phones off.

"Nope" Robin said and they bother walked to the couch....

With Raven...

Raven sat in the small room... A week since she had left the team... She hugged the picture she had in hands. She didn't know why, but she missed everybody... Even Beast Boy...

"Why did I leave?" Raven asked herself and felt liquid come down her pale cheeks. What? Was the emotionless Raven crying?

"What?" Raven asked herself and touched her hand to her cheek. She felt more liquid come down her pale cheeks. Why was she crying? More salty tears fell down her face. They dropped on her picture of the team.

"NO! THERE IS NO TURNING BACK THIS TIME RAVEN!!" Raven yelled to herself. There was a knock on the door.

"Yes?" Raven asked in a tiny voice.

"Ms. Raven, are you alright?" a girl named Sara asked. She was the housekeeper at the hotel. The door swung open. Sara was a girl around the age of fourteen. She had light brown hair and crystal brown eyes.

"Ms. Raven, you seem to look down in the dumps today" Sara said and sat down next to Raven.

"Tell me why you're a house keeper here again?" Raven asked

"Because this is the only way for my family to get money... My younger brother works at a bakery down the street... I could get something to eat there" Sara said and Raven shook her head.

"No Sara, its fine" Raven said and walked over to her bag. She got something out and handed it to Sara.

"No Ms. Raven, I can't except this" Sara said and handed her the money Raven had given her.

"Don't worry, I want you to support you're family so I'm helping you" Raven said in a caring voice. Why was she feeling emotions now? But Raven couldn't help but help this poor girl.

"Here I'll take you to dinner" Raven said and they both walked out the door. Raven and Sara walked down the streets of the city.

"Ms. Raven, tell me again why you are here" Sara asked and Raven sighed.

"I'm here because of a fight I had with some friends" Raven said

"Were they really really close friends Ms. Raven?" Sara asked and Raven nodded. They were really really close friends of her.

"Where did you live before Ms. Raven?" Sara asked as they walked into the diner. Raven sat on one side and Sara sat on the other.

"I lived in a big T shaped tower, you can't miss it" Raven said and Sara smiled widely.

"You were a teen titan Ms. Raven? Then why did you quit?" Sara asked and Raven picked up the menu before answering Sara's question.

"It was just a matter of time before one of us quit Sara" Raven said and looked at Sara's face. She looked disappointed.

"But I thought they were going to be together forever, they were really my hero's" Sara said and picked up her own menu. She had that look of disappointment again. She sighed deeply and picked out what she wanted. The waiter came over and took their orders.

"So Ms. Raven, was it really great in the T tower?" Sara asked and Raven nodded as memories flooded back to her. All of Beast Boy and Cyborg's fights, Starfire's pudding, and Robin obsessed with finding out who Slade was.

"Were you're friends nice to you Ms. Raven?" Sara asked and Raven nodded again.

"They were very nice" Raven said and she finally noticed how much she was missing while away from the titans. She missing out on really good friends and some good times in the tower.

"Ms. Raven, are you okay?" Sara asked and Raven nodded.

"Of course I'm alright" Raven said and stared out the window. Sara looked out the window too.

"What a nice town, don't you think Ms. Raven?" Sara asked and Raven didn't answer.

"Ms. Raven?" Sara asked and Raven snapped out of her mode.

"W-what?!?!" Raven snapped and Sara backed off a little bit.

"Sorry Sara, I was just thinking" Raven assured the young girl.

"I was just wondering if you were okay" Sara said and smiled. Sara could always smile when the world was cruel and hurtful. She was somewhat like Starfire. Raven placed a small smile on her face.

"Ms. Raven, do you think you will ever see you're friends again?" Sara asked and Raven nodded.

"I'm sure I will Sara, I'm sure I will" Raven said and smiled bigger this time. Memories were flooded into Raven's head. All of the good times and all of the bad times....

Flashback....

"Raven, dude open the door!!" Beast Boy yelled and Raven's door slid open.

"What do you want Beast Boy?" Raven asked in an annoyed tone.

"You're coming to watch the movie with us right?" Beast Boy asked and Raven shook her head.

"Why not?" Beast Boy asked

"Because I don't want too" Raven said and began to close her door, but Beast Boy pushed it open.

"What do you want Beast Boy?" Raven asked

"Please Raven? Please please come!!" Beast Boy pleaded and finally Raven gave in.

"I'll come see you're stupid movie" Raven said and Beast Boy smiled. He took her hand and led her downstairs. Raven blushed slightly. She sat down next to Robin. Starfire was on his other side.

"What took you guys so long?" Robin asked and Beast Boy didn't say anything. Until...

"They were probably kissing" Cyborg suggested

"No..... ummm..... she was just taking a long time to get..... ummm..... ready" Beast Boy finished

"Is this true friend Raven? Were you taking a long time?" Starfire asked happily. Why was she so happy? We will never know....

"No, I just didn't want to go, he forced me though" Raven concluded

"Come on y'all let's start the movie!!" Cyborg said and popped the video tape into the VCR. Raven placed her hood on her head. She was hiding a smile, a smile that would always be remembered by her....

End of flashback....

"Ms. Raven are you feeling alright? You seem dazed" Sara said and Raven smiled again.

"Now, I'm just remembering some good times I had" Raven said and Sara was the one to smile this time.

"Very good times Ms. Raven?" Sara asked and Raven nodded.

"Very very good times Sara" Raven said and there food came. Sara was the first to start. Raven sat there watching the young girl. She was shoving food into her mouth as if she hadn't eaten for days. Finally Raven started to eat. Sara asked the waiter if she could get another order of her main course. The waiter nodded and walked off. Raven was still starring.

"Is there something on my face Ms. Raven?" Sara asked and starred into Raven's violet eyes.

"No, no you just seem starved for some reason" Raven said

"Well I am always hungry Ms. Raven, my family never gets the right amount of food and there are six people in our family" Sara said and Raven felt pity.

"Maybe I should take you're family out for dinner one night a week..." Raven said and trailed off.

"No, no Ms. Raven my family gets along because everybody works each day and we all earn enough money" Sara assured the dark goddess. Well to Sara Raven was the dark goddess.

"Well I would love to meet you're family some day Sara if you would let me" Raven said and Sara nodded as her second main course came. Sara shoved her face with food again. Raven smiled slightly and continued eating. Once they were both done, they both ordered dessert. Once it came, again Sara shoved her face. Once she was done, she sunk back into the booth. Raven finally finished and leaned back and sat up against the fake leather.

"So Sara, when do you want to go?" Raven asked and Sara shrugged.

"Whenever you want to go Ms. Raven" Sara said and Raven nodded. Raven got the check and paid it. They got up and walked around the city. They walked into a dark part of town, but they didn't mind at all. They were too stuck up in their conversation. The street lights flashed on and off as Raven and Sara kept talking.

"So there's where you lived all you're life?" Raven asked and Sara nodded.

"It's not easy having two brothers and a sister!!" Sara said and Raven nodded.

"I know what you mean! When I was in the T tower, it felt like I had two brothers!!" Raven said and Sara looked at her strangely.

"Why?"

"Because Beast Boy and Cyborg both acted like babies" Raven said and they both laughed at this.

"Come on, I'll bring you home Sara" Raven said and used her powers to lift them off the ground. The view was so beautiful. Sara stared in Awww.

"This view, I have never seen the city like this before" Sara said and they stopped at a mountain top.

"I used to come here when I was younger.... Then I stopped when I joined the teen titans" Raven asked

"Why Ms. Raven?"

"Well because I was afraid somebody would follow me..." Raven said and Sara stared at Raven.

"But Ms. Raven, you are never afraid" Sara assured her.

"No Sara, I was afraid.... I didn't want anybody knowing about this place...." Raven said and Sara nodded.

"When I was younger, I lived in a different country.... I use to climb up all the mountains with my older brother Mark.... He use to take me up there all the time... It was fun while it lasted.... Then the my country got into a war and Mark was forced to join the army since my father was too old to join.... We got a message from the army that Mark had been killed by a bomb accident. And the bomb had gone off by one of our own country's army! I couldn't believe it and I didn't want too.... Then my family moved here and I never really wanted to go to another mountain ever again..." Sara said and Raven sat down next to Sara.

"I'm sorry Sara, do you want to go?" Raven asked and Sara shook her head.

"No, no I like this place... It reminds me of all the good times I had with Mark" Sara said and Raven smiled....

Back at the tower...

"Friend Robin! Is friend Raven ever coming back?" Starfire asked and Robin nodded.

"Just give her time Star Robin said as he sat down next to the alien girl on the couch.

"But I have given her time and she hasn't come back friend Robin" Starfire said and turned away from the Boy Wonder.

"Star, I promise she will come back" Robin assured Starfire.....

With Beast Boy....

Beast Boy had been searching all day, but he couldn't find Raven. He kicked the dirt at his feet.

"Why was I so stupid to let her slip out of my fingers?" Beast Boy asked himself and he heard soft humming.

"Hmmmm, Hmmmm Hmmmm" He heard it again and this time it came closer. Sara came humming down the street. Raven had taught her a song and she had liked it very much. Sara pasted Beast Boy and Beast Boy stood in her way.

"Excuse me sir, but I must get back home and my ma told me not to talk to any strangers" Sara said and tried to get by him, but couldn't.

"I know that song, where did you learn that from?" Beast Boy asked and Sara shrugged.

"I learned it from a friend, hey wait aren't you from the teen titans?" Sara asked and Beast Boy nodded.

"I know one of your friends! She is the nicest person in the world" Sara said and clapped her hands happily. Beast Boy thought that she acted just like Starfire. He had the same exact thought as Raven.

"Is her name Raven?" Beast Boy asked and Sara nodded.

"Ms. Raven told me all about you guys! She said that she never wanted to go back though...." Sara said and pouted. She continued.

"I was very disappointed because she was my favorite super hero" Sara said and Beast Boy stared into Sara's brown eyes.

"Thank you little girl, you've given us- I mean me a lot of information Do you know where she lives?" Beast Boy asked as he slowly walked away from Sara.

"You're welcome mister and she lives in an apartment down the road! It's a big building, you can't miss it!!" Sara said and started to hum again. Her humming went off into the distance. Beast Boy turned into a hawk and flew off into the distance....

With Cyborg....

Cyborg had been listening to Beast Boy and the little girls conversation and knew everything... Where to find Raven and how much the little girl looked up to the teen titans... He was happy that the team had young fans out there... Now Cyborg was rushing towards Raven's apartment. He opened the door and rushed to the front desk thingy.

"Is there a Raven staying here?" Cyborg asked and the man nodded.

"She's on the second story, room 34" the man said and Cyborg thanked him before running up the stairs. He heard the door open and foot steps behind him.

"Cyborg! What the heck are you doing here?!?!?!" Beast Boy called

"I was listening on to your conversation with the little girl" Cyborg said and then opened the door to the second story. He ran all the way done the hall to the 34 room. He slammed his fist on the door and finally the door opened.

"What the heck do you want?" Raven asked and rubbed her eyes lightly. She opened them and saw Cyborg and Beast Boy standing at her door. She slammed the door in their faces and then heard more pounding on the doors.

"What?!?!" Raven shouted

"Come on Rae, we just want to talk" Cyborg said and the door opened again.

"Come inside and talk then" Raven said and led them inside. Beast Boy closed the door. The bunny hopped around the floor and finally settled under the table. (A/N: Remember from Raven and Cyborg's Day Out? Read it to find out if you haven't read it!!)

"Raven, please come back! We're dying without you!!" Beast Boy said and sat down at the kitchen table.

"No" Raven said firmly.

"Raven please?" Cyborg asked and Raven shook her head.

"I would prefer not too" Raven said firmly again. Then there was a knock on the door. Raven glided over to the door and opened it. Sara was standing there.

"Sara, what's the matter?" Raven asked and urged the little girl inside the apartment.

"Ms. Raven, would it be alright if I stayed at your place for a while?" Sara asked and Raven nodded.

"Sure Sara, I wouldn't mind... I've been feeling a little lonely anyways" Raven said and Sara sat down on the couch.

"Oh please go on, I don't want to be interrupting anything" Sara said and laid her head on the pillow.

"Raven, please please come home!!" Beast Boy pleaded and Raven shook her head.

"YES!!" Cyborg yelled

"No"

"Come on Raven, just give it one more try?" Beast Boy asked and Raven took a minute to think it through. She was missing out on a lot.

"Fine it gets one more chance" Raven said and Cyborg and Beast Boy cheered.

"Sara, you are welcomed to stay at the T tower anytime you like and so is your family" Raven said as Sara nodded. Raven packed her bags and walked out the door with Sara by her side.

"Are you going home Ms. Raven?" Sara asked and Raven nodded.

"Yes Sara, I'm going home... To my real home...."
