R&R, Your reviews make me so happy :)
When will you stop and see me through
There's something else I'd rather do
Although you're getting angry
I know everyone gets a star
The next night, Raven had enough strength to heal her foot. Like Cyborg said, there was an ugly scar on her ankle. The Titans were still trying to decide how anyone even got to Azarath in the first place.
"Well, it had to be somebody with the power to travel in between dimensions. I would suggest Slade, but he's still serving his life sentence." Robin said, a little bit proud about the last part. And he should be; just a few months ago, Robin had finally captured Slade and had him thrown in jail. Being responsible for the destruction of Earth obviously wasn't a charge, but murder and theft sure were.
"I'd rather not talk about this. Beast Boy, change the subject." Raven said.
"Why do I have to change the subject?"
"Because you were bound to do it anyway." Raven shrugged, sipping her tea. Beast Boy sighed. He hadn't slept well last night and he was currently slumped over the table, not wishing to walk about the poisonous arrow any more than Raven.
"Ugh. Fine...What do you call a boomerang that doesn't work?...a stick." Beast Boy said unenthusiastically.
"Har har." Raven said drily.
"Well, whatever. Star and I are going to see a movie, anyone wanna come?"
"And be the third wheel? No way." Beast Boy said, as everyone else shook their heads.
"Suit yourselves." Robin said, leading his girlfriend out the door.
"Come on BB, let's play Super Collision Bros. 4!" Cyborg said, throwing his plate into the sink.
"I'm going to meditate. See ya tomorrow." Raven said. Technically, she really didn't need to meditate anymore. After defeating Trigon she gained some control, but the milestone was after Terra's statue disappeared. For some reason, she now had more control over her powers. But now she mainly did it as an excuse to get away from the rest of the Titans. She was a solitary creature and her friends were no exception to her behavior. On the plus side, she now had time to perfect new spells. She perfected the ability to open up portals now, and often used them to travel through walls of something. Occasionally she opened up two portals just for Beast Boy's entertainment, so he could stick his hand in one, and watch it come out of the other. Raven opened one up on the ceiling before floating up through it.
"Beast Boy, you comin'?" Cyborg said, holding up an extra controller. Beast Boy only stared at the now fading portal on the ceiling.
"Uh, no. I got something to take care of. Maybe later." Beast Boy said. Cyborg shrugged but plugged in the Gamestation. He was playing his brand new game, with or without Beast Boy.
The green changeling took the stairs up to the roof, seeing as the portal disappeared from the ceiling. When he got up the stairs, he found that Raven was meditating, but rather, watching the city. She hung her legs over the edge and was humming to some song that Beast Boy didn't know.
"What do you want Beast Boy?" Raven said, not even turning around to meet eyes with him.
"How did you know-"
"I'm an empath. And you're very nervous." Raven replied, still gazing at the city.
"Oh. Right. Forgot." Beast Boy said, stumbling over his words. He sat next to Raven, looking at the city with her.
"So what are you doing up here? I thought you were meditating." Beast Boy asked quietly.
"I like it up here. It's beautiful outside in the fall." Raven stated, ignoring Beast Boy's last question.
"That's it?"
"What?" Raven said, now staring at Beast Boy.
"Well, I just thought you'd describe it in detail or something like that."
"What'd you expect? Poetry?" Raven hissed. Beast Boy immediately recognized what he did and sighed. As usual, he messed his moment with Raven up again. Raven turned her attention back to the view and Beast Boy swore he saw the corner's of her mouth twitch into a small smile.
"Nature's first green is gold. Her hardest hue to hold. Her early leaf's a flower; but only so for an hour. Then leaf subsides to leaf, so Eden sank to grief, so dawn goes down to day. Nothing gold can stay." Raven said suddenly.
"What does that mean?"
"I don't know. But I guess I can't know everything." Raven replied. Beast Boy was a little shocked at Raven's response. He had always thought Raven always had the answer. She was Raven after all, she spent all day in her room studying, even thought she didn't even go to school.
"There's your poetry. Have fun letting the words sink in." Raven said, before diving through a portal she opened up.

"BEAST BOY! STOP POUNDING ON MY DOOR!" Raven screamed, as the green changeling repeatedly smashed his hands on her door.
"No! I finally figured out what that poem means!" Beast Boy said, still pounding on the door. Raven sighed and slid open the door with her powers. Beast Boy fell in but got up quickly, holding up his index finger.
"So I've been th- Why is your room orange?" Beast Boy said, finally looking at the walls. Raven shrugged. The Titans all pegged her for a dark person- and she was- but she didn't like sleeping in a dark room at night. In fact, she loved the orange-ish color he walls were. She loved the sunset he had painted and she loved her yellow comforter.
"Get to the point Beast Boy." Raven said, rolling her eyes and ignoring his question.
"Oh. Right. Well I think it's about changing seasons and-"
"Not even close." Raven said, cutting him off. Beast Boy's ears drooped and he looked disappointed.
"But I worked all day on that!"
"Well, now you're just going to have to work all day on another theory." Raven replied, crossing her arms.
"Fine. Whatever." Beast Boy said in dejectedly. Raven pointed to the door and he walked out, head hung in defeat. but not before stealing one more glance at Raven. The empath sighed and crawled back into her bed, with her spellbooks.
