Chapter 1: A lost bird finds a home
Raven was meditating in her room trying to drown out the noise coming from the living area of the tower. The rest of the Titans had decided it would be a good idea to throw a party what with the defeat of the brotherhood of evil life was pretty good there were Teen Titan's all over the place both new and old. Raven didn't like large crowds so she had opted to pull out of the party early in favor of meditation. Unfortunately for her not very many of the people knew their way around the tower.
Two Teens whom she did not recognize blasted into her room hand in hand only to stop short when they realized they had entered an occupied room. Their intentions were obvious because of Ravens empathy and she shot them a glare that could have frozen the core causing them to back out of the room cautiously. She would have to talk to Cyborg later about getting the lock on her door fixed. It had been broken ever since her emotional outburst a few days prior when she had found out about the party and blown her door into the wall across the hall.
Raven tried to go back to meditating but try as she might she could not bring herself to stay focused on meditating. Her mind kept drifting back to the Teen Couple whom had burst into her room she realized then just how lonely she was, not lonely for the company of others, just lonely for someone that understood her and that mind want to actually be with her. Her dark energy flared and she realized to late that she had let her control slip, she was doing that a lot lately, it shot towards the window shattering it and a portion of it broke away flying towards the city taking the form of a black bird.
"Damn it!" Raven cursed as she hurried to the window trying to recall her power but for some reason it was not responding as if it was no longer her power at all. She was worried about what a rogue amount of demonic energy could do in the city if one of the villains got a hold of it and immediately floated from her room hood up cape billowing back trying to find robin.
It took raven the better part of an hour to find Robin on the top of Titans tower looking out of the water talking to Aqualad about some form of undersea war that was currently being fought.
"Robin we need to talk." Raven said in her reinstated monotone as she approached the two.
"Good luck with the angry lady boy wonder." Aqualad said with a chuckle as he backed away mistaking Ravens current mood for anger.
"What's wrong Raven?" Robin asked calmly though he was worried Raven rarely if ever 'needed to talk' unless something was wrong.
"I lost control of my power… again… but this time is worse a large amount of demonic energy escaped towards the city and I wasn't able to recall it." Raven said quickly explaining the situation without embarrassing herself.
"What's this about escaping energy Friend-Raven?" Starfire said as she floated over with Cyborg and Beastboy in tow.
"Woah woah Raven's losing her power?" Beastboy said jumping to conclusions as quickly as he jumped onto video games.
"No, she's not losing her powers some of it escaped into the city and we're going to have to call the party short to find out what happened to it any amount of demonic energy loose in the city is dangerous at best." Robin said in his leader tone, "Cyborg get the car ready I'll make sure the guests get gone."
And with that the Titans dispersed quickly Cyborg, Starfire, Raven, and Beastboy down to prepare to leave and Robin to the security terminal sending a quick message over the Communication devices that everyone needed to clear out.
About half an hour later the tower was empty and Robin was saying goodbye to Aqualad as the last person to leave.
"That took too long." Raven stated as she looked towards the city.
"Whatever let's just get going now and see if we can't catch up to your power… which way?" Cyborg said as he got behind the wheel barely realizing he didn't know which way to go.
