3 months later…

It's been getting a lot harder to hide her increasing belly and growing symptoms from her friends. Her leotards were starting to not fit; she was eating more than usual which caught the attention of some of her teammates and also, fighting in battles became much more dangerous for not only her but her child.

Raven rummaged through her closet, throwing pairs of boots and small trinkets out in the process. She pulled out a black suitcase and placed it on the floor. She blew the dust off of it and ripped off the price tag that was still attached to it. In the past, Raven found it absurd that Starfire bought her a and the team suitcases. Starfire said that they were on sale and couldn't pass up the deal, but that only made Raven question the reasoning even more. They rarely went out on missions that required long stays and if they did, Raven still wouldn't use it; she would use a duffel bag or pack a modicum amount of clothing. But now, she was grateful that Starfire bought it.

Raven looked at her closet and sighed. She had nothing much to pack but her leotards and capes. She shook her head and decided not to bring her uniforms. She changed from her costume into regular street clothes, which were dark blue jeans and a simple black T- shirt that was tight around her plump belly. She took a fresh pair of boots and threw them into the suitcase then grabbed her undergarments from the drawers. She tossed some books in the suitcase as well as her meditation mirror. She arranged the items neatly then zipped her suitcase shut. She hated that this is what had to happen, but she had no other option. She couldn't tell her friends, and the father of her child would only push them away.

Once she was finished packing her belongings she took out a small sheet of paper in her drawer and wrote a small note. She wasn't the one for cliches, and her writing a goodbye letter to her friends only spelled it, but it was better than saying it to their faces. Once she finished the letter, she rubbed her wet eyes then placed her communicator on top. She didn't know how long it would take for her team to take notice, but hopefully, it was enough time for her to get far away from the Tower.

Before she could leave, she rummaged through her drawers once more. She felt relieved when she found the item she was looking for. Raven took out the holographic ring that Cyborg created for every member of the team. It made them appear normal, so he decided to give a pair just in case. Again, in the past, she found no purpose of having it. Yet, it comes to save her. She slipped the ring onto her left middle finger and watched its power unfold. She looked at her new image in the mirror. She had jet black hair, brown eyes that were so dark, they almost looked black and her skin tone was fair. Never did she think this would be her. But this will be her new life.

Raven knelt to the side of her bed and pulled out an orange pamphlet. She undid the top and took out the vital pieces of information. She read the fabricated documents in her hands. It wasn't easy taking this from the filing room. Robin prided himself in having high security around that area. Hopefully, he wouldn't take notice of the absent documents. He rarely checked it as there was never a reason to use them.

Rachael Roth was her new name according to the birth certificate, social security card, and state ID. The ID had a picture of Raven's holographic image. She also remembered taking these pictures one day. At the moment, like most things, she found no purpose of doing them, but now she's eating her words. Raven quickly tucked the papers back inside and placed the important documents securely into her suitcase with everything else.

Raven sighed and glanced at her bedroom for the last time. She opened the window then flew towards the city, in search for a new home.

Beast boy exhaled and leaned back into the bed. He placed an arm at the back of his head and rubbed Terra's bareback. "Three times in a row. That's a new record."

Beast boy grinned. "They don't call me Beast boy for nothing."

Terra laughed then rolled herself out of her bed. She flashed her naked backside before grabbing a towel on the sofa of her room and went inside the shower.

Beast boy only stared at her rear as she walked away. When Raven told him that she wasn't pregnant, he felt like a huge weight has been lifted off his shoulders. He really did feel bad about messing with Raven, but she understood. Well, it seemed like it when they talked earlier. He'll make it up to her somehow. He'll tell her his best joke, or make her waffles for breakfast. Anything that'll make her smile.

"Beast boy, ready for round 4 in the shower?"

Beast boy hopped out of the bed and strode to the connected shower in her room. He stretched his neck and rolled his shoulders. "Oh yeah, baby. You know I am." He was just happy that Terra will never find out about his infidelity.

Raven sat on the couch inside her new apartment. It wasn't much. There were 2 simple bedrooms, 1 bath, and a small kitchen. The furniture was adequate but nice. It was a bit filthy, though. Nothing that a little cleaning won't fix. She scrounged up all the money she saved over time; some came from her birthday and a large sum from the city and the mayor, which they gave to the Titans as a thank you gift for their services. Also, Raven managed to steal $200 from the emergency stash they had. She felt bad for stealing from the team, but from the amount in the stash, $200 didn't make a large dent in the budget. Fortunately for her, the cash was enough to pay at least 3 months of her rent, which should be enough time for her to find some form of a job. Raven looked around once more. She used her powers to start cleaning up the dirt on the floor and fixing the furniture. She carried her suitcase into the master bedroom, which was a comfortable size. It was nothing compared to her own room at the Tower, but enough for her. She threw her suitcase on the bed then went inside the second room. She used her powers once more and cleaned it up. Once she was satisfied, she went back to the master bedroom to finish unpacking her items.

Unpacking didn't take long for her to do. She didn't bring much with her, but it only reminded her of things she needed to buy, such as clothes, food, curtains and other items to complete her stay. Raven leaned back on the couch with a newspaper in hand and a highlighter in hopes of finding a job offer. The apartment was quiet. She guessed that it was an answer to her prayers. She always argued with the others to have the tower be this quiet, but this silence was different. It was the silence of loneliness.

She sighed and rubbed her belly. "Looks like it's just you and me."

"Oh, Raven, wakey, wakey."

Beast boy waited to hear a response or the door open, but he didn't hear anything.

"I hope you're not mad at me or anything. If so, then I want to make it up to you with breakfast in bed!" He said. He looked down at the tray of waffles, eggs, and orange juice. He tried to add a side of meat, but he couldn't find it in himself to cook it, so he kept it simple. He knocked again but louder. "Raven! Are you in there?"

Nothing.

Beast boy looked at his watch. It read 10:30 am. She should be awake by this time. He placed the tray of food on the floor and turned into a beetle. He squeezed himself underneath the crack of the door. Beast boy transformed back into his original form and looked around the room. He was confused to not see her. "Maybe she's on the roof." Before he flew up to the roof, he noticed a piece of paper with her communicator resting on top. He stopped in his tracks and quickly went for the note. He read it quickly then barged out the room, completely forgetting about the breakfast in the process.

He ran as fast as his feet could carry him. He burst into the common room where everyone was. "Dudes! Raven!" He panted.

Terra looked at him confused. "What are you talking about?"

Robin got to his feet. "Is she in trouble?"

"Raven left!" He exclaimed.

Cyborg stopped his game and Starfire levitated in the air out of worry. They dashed out the common room and ran to Raven's room to see for themselves. In seconds they were there, searching,

"Why would friend Raven leave?" Starfire said in tears.

"It looks like she took all of her stuff," Terra said opening the drawers.

Nightwing stared at her communicator in his hand and grunted in frustration. "I knew there was something wrong with her. I should have kept asking."

"Don't beat yourself up man; we don't know why she left," Cyborg said softly. He looked through her closets and noticed that some of her outfits were missing but her uniforms still hung on the hangers. He was saddened to see that she left. There might have been something he could have done to help. He should have talked to her more or checked in on her.

"We must go and find her!" Starfire said. She flew to the window and opened it, ready to take flight towards the city.

"Star's right. She might not have gone far." Cyborg said.

"Cyborg, take the North side of town; Terra and Beast boy, take the South side; Star and I will search the West and East."

"I never thought finding a job would so hard."

Raven continued walking down the busy streets of Jump City. She easily blended into the crowd with her holographic ring on, which she was grateful for. So far, she applied to two jobs and was searching for one more.

She continued walking, taking glances at the many stores she passed. She saw the library up the street and noticed a sign that said, "Workers Needed". She walked straight into the building until she saw a flash of green in the sky. Raven gasped and quickly walked inside a burger eatery. She walked deep into the store to avoid Starfire seeing her. Raven saw Starfire again walking up and down the street. She seemed to have been trying to talk to people, but they only continued their lives and ignored her. Raven relaxed when she saw her fly away in a hurry.

Raven looked at her surroundings and favored the savory smell of meat on the grill. Her stomach growled and her mouth watered at the sight of the orders. "Might as well take a break for lunch."

"Beast boy, slow down!"

Terra ran to catch up with the fast pacing shapeshifter.

Beast boy only ignored her pleas and continued walking the streets, checking every alleyway and corner they came across. "No! We have to find Raven. Who knows where she could be."

"She didn't seem to be in trouble," Terra said. She was lazily searching and struggled to catch up to her boyfriend.

"I don't care. We have to bring her back home."

"Beast boy, calm down! If she was in real danger, we would have known. You read the note. She left. On her own accord."

Beast boy turned to Terra. "Stop being so close minded. We're on a mission to find Raven. You're either going to help me or not!"

Terra stared back angrily. "Don't talk to me like that! You're getting mad for nothing!"

"She may not be a friend to you, but she is to me!"

"I never said that she wasn't a friend to me! I'm just trying to give you a reality check. She left for a reason. We don't know what it is, but she wanted to leave. We should respect that."

"Yeah, because you know everything about leaving unannounced." Beast boy said under his breath.

Terra blushed and growled. She used her powers to throw a pebble at the back of his head. "Don't be an asshole to me because you're upset! I'm only trying to help you and be a good girlfriend."

Beast boy looked back with anger, but he simply changed his attitude and apologized to her. He sighed and got to his knees. "I'm the reason she left...I have to be."

Terra walked up to him and placed a hand on his shoulder. "What do you mean? How is it your fault?"

Beast boy kept his mouth shut and turned his head, avoiding her big blue eyes. "Nothing. C'mon. Let's go."
