Authors Note: Wow, it's been a while since I've updated this story. I've been busy with school and friends; and not to mention the fact that I've been focused on my Mai-HiME fic -Delinquent. There's hardly any plot, though :\

Disclaimer: I don't own Teen Titan's, or Twilight.

Enjoy


Early morning Saturday, after a uneventful week of classes, Raven found herself holding her Nevermore mirror. The four, demonic crimson eyes glinted maliciously, and she felt the familiar feeling of being pulled head first into her mind. She hadn't visited Nevermore in over two months, seeing as her emotions had been rather stable. Since coming to Forks, she knew this visit was well overdue.

She landed gracefully, half-kneeling. Standing up, she barely got a glimpse of her dark, gloomy looking mind-scape, before she was pounced on, literally, by Happy.

"Raven!" the emotion squealed, her pink cowl hood falling back to reveal an identical face to the original as she wrapped her arms around Raven's neck. "It's been too long! Brave has been going crazy in here, she hates that you're not fighting criminals anymore. Knowledge never talks to me, too involved with her books. And Timid just runs away from me! Rage, Azar, don't even get me started on her..."

"Whoa..." Raven pushed the rambling emotion off of her, and stepped back slightly. "Slow down Happy, I can barely understand what you're saying. Now, start from the beginning."

"Oh," said Happy, blushing slightly. "Sorry, Rae," she grinned. "Okay, the beginning. Oh gee, you wouldn't believe how horrible Rage has been lately. Especially when Jinxy hurt herself at the Cullen's. You should have seen her..."

"Wait, Jinxy?" Raven cut in, slightly mortified at what the emotion had nicknamed her friend. Thank god Jinx hadn't managed to stumble in here, like Beast Boy and Cyborg had done previously. She would never be able to live it down.

Happy gave her a blank look, "What? I like Jinxy. Oh," the emotion sighed dreamily, "Isn't she just so beautiful? She makes me so..." the emotion paused, before lighting up, "... Happy! I could just stare at her forever and never get bored..."

"Huh?" Raven gaped at the pink cloaked mirror image of herself, "Stare at Jinx? Happy what on earth are you going on about... You.. You almost sound as if..."

Suddenly Happy looked at her with an unreadable expression for a moment, before she gasped and grabbed Raven's hand, "Oh my, you don't know do you?" Raven just frowned at her. Happy gave her a half-excited, half-scared look. "You need to meet someone."

"Meet someone?" Raven asked confusedly, still being pulled along by the emotion. "The only things with intelligent thought processes are my emotions and I've already met all of you... Happy you're not making sense,"

"You haven't met one of us." Happy supplied cryptically, as they reached a meadow like field in Raven's mind. Raven's jaw dropped when she caught sight of another emotion, one she had never seen before, dressed in a light white cloak, similar to what she had wore after she met Malchior. The emotion in question was currently picking wild flowers and humming to herself blissfully.

"Who is that..?" Raven whispered to herself, hardly believing what she was witnessing. She had never had an emotion just show up, the others had been with her all her life.

Soon, Raven and Happy were standing in front of the emotion, who was now smiling at them joyfully.

"Hi," the white cloaked mirror image said, looking at Raven. "You must be Raven. It's nice to finally meet you." the emotion held out her right hand, "I'm Love."

Raven held out her own hand, a look of bewildered disbelief on her face. She heard Happy giggle, and 'Love' gave a low chuckle. Apparently, both were amused at her mute reaction.

Raven on the other hand was barely keeping herself from collapsing in sheer astonishment. Love? What? This had to be some, twisted joke.

"Why are you here?" was what escaped her mouth, Love looked briefly taken aback before she answered cautiously.

"Now Raven," Love spoke slowly, "Do you swear you will keep calm?"

Raven nodded, swallowing.

"I'm here," the emotion smiled, widely and with complete joy. "Because you fell in love."

"What? Who?" Raven gasped out, feeling the numbness of shock overcoming her senses.

"Isn't it obvious?" Love gave a tinkling laugh, like bells. "You love Jinx, Raven."

Raven stumbled back, her face pale. She shook her head in denial. "No... I'm not... I don't-I can't." she brought a hand to her forehead, "Impossible. She's my best friend. We've only been friendly with each other for a few weeks, it-it's too sudden!"

"Raven," Love stepped closer to her, grabbing her hands gently and gazing into her eyes. "Just because you've only been friendly to her these last couple of weeks doesn't mean you haven't been drawn to her before that. You've known her for two years."

"But..."

"Do you remember that burning, angry feeling you got when you saw her with Kid Flash?" Love prodded, "What about the way you're heart stutters when she touches you? The way you're eyes linger on her? What about how you wanted her to acknowledge you, so badly, when she was staying at Titan's Tower."

Raven listened mutely as Love continued, "The way you constantly feared she would get hurt when she was helping fight the Brotherhood of Evil? Do you remember how you used to make sure you paired off with her when the Titan's encountered the Hive Five? Just to make sure no real harm could come to her by one of you're overexcited teammates?"

"What about that warm feeling you get, just from being in her presence?"

Raven fell to her knees as the realization sunk in. Why she was so overprotective of Jinx last night - worried she could have been hurt by the Cullen's. This was why her heart jumped just from the other girls proximity, or merely because of her breathtaking smile.

She was in love her. Azar, she really was.

"Do you see, Raven?" Love asked softly, kneeling down in front of her. Guiding her chin up so she could look into the original Raven's eyes. Happy was standing somewhere in the background, smiling with encouragement.

"Yes," Raven whispered, her voice almost breaking, "I'm in love. I'm in love with her," she closed her eyes, her heart beating erratically in her chest. "I'm in love with Jinx.


Falling, with uncharacteristic clumsiness out of her mirror, Raven let herself lay on her thick carpeted bedroom floor for a few drawn out moments. When she finally stood up, she flickered a glance towards her alarm clock and saw that only around roughly three minutes had passed here. When in all actuality, she had been in Nevermore for over two and half hours, making her rounds and checking up with the rest of her emotions after her eye opening talk with Love.

Exhaling heavily, and running a shaky hand through her hair, Raven felt the need to meditate. She needed to calm herself, her thoughts were running rampant within her head. Her heart was still beating fast within her chest, and she was trembling, just slightly.

In her bathroom, Raven splashed her face with some cold water, hoping that the feeling of the almost freezing droplets hitting her heated skin would make her snap out of the daze she was currently in. It didn't work completely, but it helped her focus.

She had just strolled into her small kitchen, when the sound of her cordless ringing made her jump. Placing a hand over her thumping heart, she took the phone of it's hook, not bothering to check the callers ID.

"Hello?" she asked tonelessly.

"Friend Raven!" Starfire's cheerful voice floated through the line, "We are, um what is the term... Robin? Oh yes! Surprising you! Look outside, we have arrived in the town of utensils and now we are currently sitting in Cyborg's 'baby' in the driveway you're new residence of living!"

"What?" Raven said, a now familiar look of disbelief on her face. Azar, couldn't fate tone down on the shocks today? What the fuck were they doing here? Now of all times And what idiot allowed Starfire to be the one to call her? The Dark Titan could barely understand what she was going on about. What was she going to say if Jinx spontaneously decided to pay her a visit?

"Did you mishear me, friend?" Starfire asked, "I said previously, "Friend Raven! We are, um what is the term...Robin? Oh yes! Surprising? You-!"

"No," Raven cut her off quickly, not wanting to get herself even more confused, "I heard you the first time, Star. I'm just a little shocked here. You said your outside? All of you? Here in Forks?"

"Yes! Are you going to come outside?" Raven could hear Beast Boy and Cyborg fighting, Robin voice was in there trying to calm them down in the background.

"Yes," Raven shook her head, walking to her front door, the phone still pressed to her ear. Standing in front of the T-Car, Raven was still finding it hard to believe that her team were actually here. In Forks.

Before she could open her mouth, Beast Boy and Starfire had jumped out of the car, and were both helping to squish her in a group hug.

"Raven!" Beast Boy squealed, sounding similarly like Starfire had when she answered the phone. He looked different however; instead of having green skin and hair, he was lightly tanned with dark, almost black locks. She guessed they were using Cyborgs cloaking invention, so not to raise suspicion.

"We've missed you!" Starfire added, green-eyes lighting up with delight from where she was standing, hands clasped together tightly in front of her torso. It looked like she was barely restraining herself from hovering in the air. Raven was glad, she didn't want any nosy neighbors to see

Looking over his shoulder, Raven saw Robin leaning against the T-Car with his arm's crossed, a warm smile on his handsome face. Cyborg was standing similarly. Raven couldn't help but feel happy her team mates had came to visit her.

"I've missed you guys as well," she confessed honestly with a hint of reluctance in her voice. A blush made her face redden slightly; though it was barely noticeable. Pulling away from Starfire's and Beast Boy's collaborated hug, she was enveloped again swiftly, though this time by only Cyborg - who had taken on his disguise as Stone.

"Missed ya, Rae." He mumbled quickly, before retreating; another one of those enigmatic blushes rising in his cheeks. Raven was really finding it hard not to just read his emotions and find out why he was being so strange.

Robin was the last to give her a hug, and Raven felt herself instantly relax. Robin was undoubtedly the one she was closest to out of the group. He was like the older brother she never had; caring and overprotective, but someone she could always depend on, no matter what.

"Sorry for arriving unannounced. I just was worried when we called and you were so..."

"Cold?" Raven offered, smiling weakly.

He looked sheepish, "... Yeah. Well I got kind of worried-"

"-Overprotective." she smirked.

Robin rolled his eyes behind the sunglasses he was wearing. "Whatever. So anyway, one thing led to another and the next thing I know we're piling into the T-Car and on our way to Washington."

Raven sighed, "Um, well, you guys are going to be sleeping in my living room. Seeing as it's only a one bedroom apartment. Oh, and how long are you planning to stay?" Raven asked, briefly scratching the side of her face, "I have school and everything too, but I guess I could take a few days off."

"We'll only be staying for the weekend. And don't worry about sleeping arrangements, Cyborg brought some blow up mattresses and blankets. You do have indoor heating here, right?"

The Dark Titan nodded, "Yeah. Do you guys want to go inside?" she piqued an eyebrow, and Starfire was the first to answer.

"Yes!"


Later on in the day, the small group of super powered teenagers were spread around Raven's lounge room; reminding her off the countless days she had spent in Titan's Tower. Beast Boy and Cyborg had brought along their PS3, and were playing some racing game and arguing like usual. Starfire was cheering on excitedly from the sidelines; and predictably, Robin was overlooking some files on Slade. Raven herself, was hovering with her legs crossed; a large ancient tome in her lap.

For some reason, however, she still felt alone. It was odd not to have Jinx around, as the ex-villain was usually at her house, or they were wandering the forest together. Sometimes they had even meditated, though it hadn't turned out as planned; seeing as Jinx couldn't sit still for more then five minutes.

It was strange, how much the pink-haired girl had become such a fixture in her life. Though, she liked it. Raven liked having the other girl around. Was this actually love? Is that why every waking second she was thinking of the other girl? Wondering what she was up to, right at this moment?

Shaking her head, Raven cleared her thoughts of Jinx and decided to focus on her friends. They were only going to be here for a weekend, and who knew how long it would be until the Cullen's decided to change Bella. Sighing, the Dark Titan enveloped the tome she was reading with her energy and teleported it back to its place in her room. Just as her feet touched the ground, the shrill ring of her home phone sounded from the kitchen.

All her friends looked at her with raised eyebrows. Raven could understand why they would be surprised. She didn't exactly have much of a social life outside of them back in Jump; so who could be calling her? The amethyst-eyed superhero had a good guess of who it probably was, and a strange sensation began to flutter in her stomach.

Padding over to the small device, Raven pulled the white phone from its cradle and pressed the speaker to her ear. "Raven speaking."

"Hey, Rae. I was wondering, do you want to go to La Push beach later? That Jessica chick invited us both the other day, and Bella said she wanted to go down and see some friend of hers that lives there. Plus, the sun is actually out for once..." Jinx burst out, speaking at such a fast pace that Raven could barely understand what she was saying. She managed to catch the gist of it, fortunately.

"Wow, slow down." The superhero chuckled, small smile playing on her lips. Suddenly she furrowed her brows, a worried crease forming as she flickered her eyes over to her teammates; who had turned their attention back to their previous activities. Robin, however, was still staring at her and even though he was still wearing sunglasses, she could tell there was curiosity burning in his eyes.

"Um... The rest of my team turned up unexpectedly today, so I don't know..."

"The Titans? Bring 'em along!" Raven could just tell the fuchsia-haired girl was grinning mischievously, "The more the merrier, I say. Plus, it's been a while since I've seen everyone. Meet us at the beach at twelve. See ya Raven!" before she could reply, the other girl had hung up. She stared at the phone for a few moments in astonishment before she put it back in it's place and turned to face the rest of the Titan's.

"You guys up for a trip to the beach?" she sighed, though she couldn't help but smile at Jinx's antics. Raven just hoped the revelation that she had some more-then-friendly-feelings towards Jinx wouldn't make things awkward for her. She didn't want to start feeling nervous and uncomfortable around the other girl. "There's someone I want you to meet."


Twenty minutes later, everyone was wearing swimsuits under their clothes; towels were hanging over their individual shoulders, and Cyborg was driving while simultaneously reminding everyone of their false identities and background stories as made there way towards La Push beach. Raven sat in the back seat, Beast Boy and Starfire sitting on each site; both bombarding her with questions about the mysterious person she had eluded to earlier.

"Is it a girl?" "A boy?" "Are you dating?" "How did you meet?" "If she's a girl is she pretty?" "Shall I prepare my home worlds feast of friendship?" "Will they become out friend too?" "Are they into video games?" "What's their name?"

Raven rubbed her temple as she felt a throbbing start up. Fed up with the never ending interrogation, she exploded. "Argh! It's JINX, okay!"

The entire car fell silent, as all eyes turned to look at her. Even Cyborg; who was meant to be watching the road. Mouths gaping, the entire squad of teen superhero's stared at their teammate, their shock obvious. Robin, naturally was the first to regain his composure.

"Do you mean Jinx-Jinx? The ex-Hive member? Pink-hair, a little taller then you? Kid Flash's girlfriend?"

For some reason, Jinx being called Wally's girlfriend made Raven clench her jaw; an unknown emotion burning just underneath her skin as she glared out the window. The Dark Titan briefly wondered if it was jealousy she was feeling. If so, she didn't like it. "She's not his girlfriend."

Robin looked at her oddly, "Alright... are you seriously friends with her Raven? I mean, I know she's not evil anymore... It's just surprising you would actually give her the time of day." his snapped his mouth shut; cursing himself. He didn't mean to sound so callous. It was just so out of her character, to make friends with someone. Let alone one with a criminal record. Heck, he thought she hated Jinx.

"Call her Jennifer." Raven answered, before going quiet; hiding the hurt she felt from her leaders insensitive words. The rest of the drive was completely silent, and soon enough they were pulling up; ironically in the park right beside Bella's abomination of a red truck. The Dark Titan was the first to exit the car, and she didn't wait for her friends as she started down the path leading to the beach, hoping to find Jinx.

Feet sinking into the grainy, white sand; Raven walked across the beach, eyes scanning the area, stoic expression on her face. Amethyst orbs soon landed on the supine figure of her fuchsia-haired best friend, who was basking in the sunlight; so pale that the rays seemed to reflect off her skin. The superhero stopped in her tracks as her eyes immediately zeroed in on the amount of flesh Jinx was showing; her hot-pink bikini not being the most modest of bathing suits.

Swallowing the lump that had formed in her throat; Raven tried to ignore the burning feeling that had overcome her body. Cheeks flaring red, and eyes wider then usual; the Dark Titan stumbled slightly before steadying herself as she began to walk again, feeling nervous. She cast a fleeting glance towards the breaking waves, knowing that maybe to cool water would calm the odd feeling down. Looking over her shoulder for a brief moment, she caught sight of her teammates heading in her direction.

Turning back to Jinx, the other girl looked over and before Raven knew it, she was being tackled to the ground by the excitable cat-girl. The fact that the half-naked ex-thief was now on top of her didn't help the whole odd-burning-feeling she was dealing with. The Dark Titan barely managed to keep from claiming the other girls lips; lips that were pulled into a wide, Cheshire grin. Raven just knew her friends were probably looking on at the scene with baffled, bewildered expressions. She was just full of surprises these days.

Actually, Jinx most likely tackled her just to show off the fact that they were so close. She was devious like that. With another blush raising to her cheeks, Raven pushed the fuchsia-haired girl that was currently straddling her off; "Jinx! Don't just tackle me out of nowhere like that."

The aforementioned girl rolled off of her victim, laughing loudly and gasping out 'your face' at random intervals. She herself, had a small blush on her cheeks. Jinx hadn't quite thought through her plan of attacking the superhero. She definitely didn't foresee herself landing on Raven in such a provocative position. Someone clearing their throat made Raven look up from where she was brushing sand off her clothes, only to meet her teammates eyes.

Before she could say anything though, Jinx had jumped to her feet; and was now standing in front of the group of stunned superhero's, smirking. "Hey guys," her smirk widened, "... long time no see."
