That last chapter will be the last triple step chapter in the initiation and there is only one more double. Please enjoy and review this double length step.


Step 5

Raven had made her usual mourning mug of herbal tea without a word before even acknowledged the two arguing idiots and they're traffic colored leader cheering them on. Basically a normal morning in Titans Tower. The only noteworthy change being Frost's absents from the fridge, but she just figured his 'dinner' last night had finally caught up to him.

'So, what is this feeling of foreboding that I have. I just can't shake this feeling like something bad is going to happen. Not bad like its going to affect the team, just me personally. At that thought Raven glanced over at Beast Boy and Cyborg who were still going mono e mono with no sighs of stopping anytime soon Its like that feeling I got when Beast Boy and Cyborg pulled that prank on me. The thought of the prank they had pulled caused her to visibly shudder.

"Friend Raven, are you okay?" Raven looked up to see Starfire looking at her worriedly.

"I'm fine Starfire, I was just... lost in thought." Raven sighed and got up from the table. "I'm going to go read." I need something to get my mind off this feeling. Excusing herself Raven headed off to her room.

"…this one?" The empath looked around, she knew that voice. Even muffled its recognizable, but it seemed to coming from her room. Running the remaining distance she used her powers to hit the wall switch and the lights flickered to life. Even with the light on, it was still hard to see inside Raven's room. The black seemed to suck the light out of everything, but she was used to it. No one. She was completely alone in the room. Raven shook her head in a futile attempt to clear it. She'd imagined it. Sighing she flicked the lights back off with a small spark of dark magic after picking up a book she had recently purchased and glided towards the door.

'Must have imagined it.' She reasoned making her way to the roof stairwell. Only to stop a half-dozen steps later as a single thought crossed her mind. 'Why was my door open?'


'Ha, I thought that only worked in the movies.' Frost thought dropping down from the ceiling. (Why is it no one ever looks up?) 'Looks like I owe Beast Boy some money. Now where was I?' Books were spread out everywhere, across her bed, stacked in her bookcase and on top of her desk. "Gees Raven, you got enough books"Crossing the room without making a sound and grabbed a random black and purple book. "Jackpot, one journal. Time to go." His task completed all was going according to plan and then it happened.

"No one go's into my room." A painfully familiar voice said from behind him in a tone that promised a very slow and painful death and that was before she saw that he had her journal.


"AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!" Frost screamed at the top of his lungs as he ran for his life though the Tower, book in hand, an enraged demoness hot on his heels. "Come on, cant we talk about this?!"

A chunk from the wall thrown at his head was his answer. 'I think that's a no.' Kuran thought to him as Frost jump to avoid another piece of steel this one shaped like a sharpened spear

'No du!' Frost thought back as he came to hall he recognized would soon break into a T intersection in the corridors. 'I have a plan.' Putting on an extra burst of speed and rounding the corner going left, making sure Raven only managed to catch a glimpse of him turning the corner as she hurried after him, before teleporting backwards down the right corridor.

Raven rounding the corner a split-second after the flicker of blue faded. She turned the corner, expecting to see Frost still in her sights. The only reason Frost retained his life was that Raven, so caught up in hunting him down, hadn't thought of his power. "That was close" Frost said letting out a breath he didn't realize he'd been holding.

"What are you doing?" For the second time in less then an hour Frost thought he was going to having a heart attack before he realized it was only Cyborg.

"I could ask you the same question!" Frost accused angrily prodding his metallic chest. "What happened? You were suppose to distract her while I got the book!" Waving said book in his face.

"Book? Oh yea, sorry BB and me got to playing and-"

"Don't care." Frost interrupted "Now that you've seen it I'm putting it back and then I going hide in-" Stopping his rant when he noticed a large shadow looming over him and the terror in the Cyborg's human eye. "She's right behind me isn't she?" A slow shaky nod.

Swallowing hard and turning to look up at the four red eyes that promised nothing save certain doom. Considering the situation Frost did the only thing his panic filled mind could think of, he blamed the other guy. "It's not my fault, they made me do it. He said it was part of the initiation. I didn't read anything I swear DON'T KILL ME!!!" and he was off like a gun shot leaving Cyborg to his fate.
