A/N It's surprising how many people will read a squeal to something right off the bat. I hadn't even had 'Rebuilding Trust' up for ten minutes and there was already one view. So thank you to whomever that was for surprising me. Anyway, I don't own the Teen Titans and Raven will be in the next chapter.

Zaven woke with a moan. Her head pounded something awful, it felt like a herd of cattle had stampeded over her back, and she was pretty sure the tingly feeling in her stomach was not natural. Slowly she cracked open her eyes only to snap them shut again. To sum it all up the demoness felt like she had a hangover.

"I know I didn't go clubbing last night," the girl grumbled, rolling onto her back. She stretched out, noting that her clothes were pretty loose, like they belonged on a girl four years older than her. "Hell I just got here. What did I do last night? Wait is it even the next day? Oh hell this isn't helping my headache." The orange eyes flickered open again, finally taking in the room. "Hum? These symbols? Why were they combined?" Zaven stood and started walking around the room, studying the blue symbols on the wall.

"Robin she has woken up," Starfire said, paging her leader and boyfriend from the observation room. While usually he would be in the room Cyborg and Changeling had just gotten back. Without Raven. They had found her locator and communicator in a back alleyway but not Raven herself. Changeling thought he smelled another Titan; just he wasn't sure which due to the trash and other stuff in the alley. So at least where ever Raven was, she was most likely safe.

"Alright Star we're on our way. Keep an eye on her," Robin replied. The alien nodded, eyeing the demoness in the other room as she tripped over her shoes. She let loose an honest growl, full of anger and annoyance. "Starfire!"

"She is merely annoyed at her shoes Robin." The hurrying of footsteps on the other end slowed. Then Cyborg came on.

"How old does this…demoness look?" he asked, trying to wrap the idea this girl was a demon. She didn't seem all that powerful earlier but then again neither did Raven. And every Titan knew just how damn strong she could be.

"About thirteen. Why would she be wearing clothes that are too big for her?" Cyborg and Changeling let Robin explain that as they went to the spare room. Over the course of their time they had gathered a bunch of civi clothes, in case of the odd under cover assignment (or a night on the town). Maybe something would fit the girl.

Zaven cursed as she tripped again. It was only the fact that she had a survival instinct that kept her from completely face planting. She still ended up putting her fist into her eye and blackening it. Almost instantly the bruise formed and then shrunk out of sight. Zaven shivered.

"Okay that's new. Geez did figuring out I am a demon open up a whole new set of powers form me?" Without realizing it the girl had spoken in a different language, one that when written would match the script she could read. Zaven sighed as she slowly did a complete circle, still studying the symbols. "What was this room made for?" Shaking her head the demoness sat down with a sigh and pulled out a book. She didn't even realize she was floating while reading until Cyborg and Changeling walked into the room.

"Dude what else can you do?!" the green man yelped, jerking back in shock. Zaven gasped sharply and fell to the floor, losing her spot in the book in the process. The two boys looked at each other and shrugged.

"Here we thought these might fit you a little better than the clothes you're wearing," Cyborg explained, tossing Zaven a backpack. The red head sat up and peered at the two with narrowed eyes. "Just tap the door when you're done. And no funny business." The two Titans started to leave.

"Funny business? I can't remember the last time I was happy!" Zaven scowled at the closed door and opened the bag.

"Should we not give her privacy Robin? If she tries anything the alarm will sound correct?" Robin sighed and turned his back to the window. Starfire did the same with a small smile. "She does not understand the Earth term 'funny business'. Do you think this is common for demons?"

"I don't know Star. The last demon we encountered was Trigon and he wasn't exactly a chatting type. Were her eyes like that when she woke up?"

"If you mean white with orange no. They were black only for a little bit then turned normal. She said that she had only just realized she was a demon. Could it be she is not fully in control and that her eyes switch color when she loses it?"

"That's a good possibility Star. We'll have to ask." Robin turned back around as Zaven knocked on the door.

Changeling was surprised at how different the demon looked in clothes that actually fit her. She seemed around thirteen, with flaming red hair cropped short in a boyish style. The main color scheme of the clothes was black. Black cargo pants, black boots, a black jacket. The only color was her hair, and the gray t-shirt that had a blue flames graphic design. Her previous belt was wrapped around her waist, scabbards empty of her swords.

"Can I keep this?" the girl asked, holding up the backpack. Cyborg shrugged.

"I guess. We kind of weren't using it," he replied as Robin and Starfire walked up. Zaven grinned slightly and slung the bag around her shoulders. If it weren't for the scabbards she could have been a normal kid going to school.

"Why did you attack us?" The question was standard and slipped out of Robin's mouth before he could stop it. Zaven blinked and yawned a little.

"You attacked me. My survival instincts kicked in. They don't…or rather can't distinguish killing intent from capturing intent." Without realizing it the group was starting to move away from the room. Zaven was nervous; even though she knew a lot more about the Titans then she was letting on. Slade had given her his knowledge and he had done a lot of research.

"Why did you come to Earth?" The other three nearly groaned. Robin was being obsessive again.

"To find Raven."

"Why?" Zaven stopped, looking down at her feet. Absently her hand crept toward her chest and clenched over her heart. The motion didn't go unnoticed by Robin or any of the Titans for that matter.

"She did something to me a long time ago, when we still lived on Azarath," Zaven whispered softly. Changeling's eyes seemed to get wider.

"Dude you knew Raven before we did?!" His teammates glared at him. Zaven looked up with a sad and painful smile.

"My name's Zaven. And she's my sister."
