So, considerate things stranger then usual!

I also apologize because I'd forgotten the Titans were performers. And also, Red X and Blackfire shall be the only people "getting it on" so to speak. They're not exactly the 'ideal form' of Titan, both being past villains and all, so I made an acception. Plus, Blackfire's a slut.

Chapter 7
"Don't Spoil My Fun"

Beast Boy:

It put an ease to all our minds to know Terra was back. It had been particularly bothering Raven, since she blamed herself for everything (which included her own mother turning against us all, which was something she never could've foreseen), but this would help with her recent self-esteem issues.

I then saw Raven touch Terra' shoulders, her eyes closing. No one really understood what she was doing until her hands glowed blue. Terra seemed uncomfortable, which was understandable, and she looked anywhere but at Raven for whatever reason. After a few seconds she released Terra, only to pull her into a hug.

"I'm so sorry Terra," She said. A lot of people went 'aw' at this, but Terra hugged back with a smile.

"Hey, its fine Raven. New adventures and I just got here!" She joked. She gave Raven a pat on the shoulder, pushing her at arms length and looking into her eyes cheerfully. "Don't worry about it, alright? I'm not hurt, and neither is anyone else right now. That's all that matters."

Raven smiled appreciatively, "Thanks, Terra."

Terra waived it away with her hand. Aqualad linked arms with her, "Why don't I show you your room, Miss Markov?"

She rolled her eyes, but the two left the room together, ignoring the stares we gave them. Eventually the rest of us filed out, with lack of anything better to do. I saw Raven duck into her room, hood up, and frowned. I could tell from her body language she honestly didn't want me following. She needed some time to cool off on her own.

It was then I saw Kole, biting my lip. But I called her out anyways.

"Kole!"

Both her and Jericho turned around, the two talking. "What's up, Beast Boy?

"I was wondering if you could help me with something."

"What kind of something? Because the last thing I helped somebody with has now scarred me for life."

My brow rose. "What are you talking about?"

She sighed, as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. But it was nine in the morning, intelligent thought didn't come until another half hour on relaxing days. "Didn't you notice Red X and Blackfire weren't in the crowd around Terra?"

I was confused, "So?"

Her and Jericho shared a look before she said, "Its a good thing these walls are soundproof, Beast Boy. Otherwise we might have heard them moaning in his rooms last night while they were-."

I waved my hands frantically, also scarred now. "Ew! Okay, enough information, I don't even want to know how you were involved in something that . . . disturbing, but my favor is nothing like that."

"Alright shoot."

"I'm planning a concert, and I need you to help."

She paused, smiling now, as was Jericho. "I'm in. What song?"

Raven:

I was meditating, doing my best to ignore that creeping suffocating feeling that nudged on the outside of my mental barriers when I tried to relax. It was becoming increasingly irritating and pushing me closer and closer to snapping. That's why I was hiding from everyone. I didn't want to hurt anyone's feelings.

That was why when a casual knock sounded on my door I began to panic. It'd been three days since Terra had come to join our group of refugees, by the way. Beast Boy had been oddly understanding, as usual, about my predicament in wanting to be as far from people as possible.

"I'm busy right now!" I called to the knocker, who hadn't gone away after I'd ignored them. "Come back later."

"Friend Raven, please come out!" I heard Starfire call from the other side of the door. "You have barely been out of your room-!"

"I need to be alone, Starfire." I called back, sympathetic. "I'm sorry."

"But I bring message from friend Beast Boy!"

I hesitated, "What's he saying?"

"He is just asking for your presence this evening. Then you may stay in your room for a whole week and he will only bother you when he is going to blow if he does not at least try." She promised.

My brow rose, staring at the door where she would be on the other side. "And if I don't come?"

"Once every hour you shall hear a knock on the door. Maybe twice, if he is feeling particularly antsy."

It took me a moment to decide. I opened the door, admitting defeat, and she seemed pleased with herself. Immediately I was blind folded, pushed in a direction I was not sure where I was going. I heard a few doors opened before I was made to sit down, warned by Starfire that I was going to do so.

"Star, what's this all about-?"

"Peace, friend, you will enjoy the surprise Beast Boy has in store for you." Starfire assured me.

I noticed something. "Starfire did your voice just . . . echo?"

She giggled and my blindfold was torn off, painlessly. I blinked to readjust my sight only to find myself in the large inter-connecting room. I was on a chair on a stage, and Starfire stood next to me. It didn't take me too long to realize that she was there to make sure I stayed in the chair. I snorted as I saw the room was filled with eyes, seated in chairs off of the stage and watching me with amusement.

"This can't be not embarrassing," I muttered under my breath. The only one to hear me was Starfire, who gave me a slight nudge. I stopped talking after that.

A piano started, somewhere around us. I felt uneasy as the electric guitar started shortly after. Somewhere in there was a violin as well. And then it started to slow. I couldn't help but smile slightly as there was a spot light on my person, and the rest of the area was pitch black. Starfire stood next to me, but the lights were carefully placed so you could only see her shadow, contrasting from the nearby light.

Then he started singing, stepping into a spotlight farther away from the audience and in the middle of the stage.

"You come to me with scars on your wrist
You tell me this will be the last night feeling like this."

Beast Boy's spotlight followed his smirking appearance. He ended up on the other side of stage, a hand leaning against a box. I thought I saw something next to him when another spotlight turned on, and people (including myself) had to laugh at it.

"I just came to say goodbye
I didn't want you to see me cry, I'm fine."

Kole held a microphone, sitting on a box higher up then the one Beast Boy was leaning on but right next to it. She wore a blue hooded jack (with the hood up), the same color as my cloak and black pants with black, fishnet, fingerless gloves. Her boots were the same color as mine, and pretty much the same style, just a little more fashionable then sensible. It was clear she was meant to be me. Beast Boy started singing again.

"But I know it's a lie."

He sang, jumping up on the box and watching me. He continued singing to me, and I blushed under my hood.

"This is the last night you'll spend alone
Look me in the eyes so I know you know
I'm everywhere you want me to be."

He got on his knees, the hand not holding the microphone clenched into a fist dramatically.

"The last night you'll spend alone,
I'll wrap you in my arms and I won't let go,
I'm everything you need me to be."

The guitar started again. Kole and Beast Boy did a little bit of a waltz dance except quicker, with sharp turns and moves. He spun her twice and her leg kicked up, spinning her out and then back into him before he let go, kneeling before me.

"Your parents say everything is your fault
But they don't know you like I know you they don't know you at all."

His face was sympathetic, touching my face. He wiped away a tear as he knew I was thinking of my mother and my father. My mother because I had loved her and she hated me and my father because he'd taken her from me.

"I'm so sick of when they say
It's just a phase, you'll be okay, you're fine."

Kole was barely noticed as my eyes fixed on him, entrance. He smirked, happy at my reaction.

"But I know it's a lie!"

I looked away.

"This is the last night you'll spend alone.
Look me in the eyes so I know you know
I'm everywhere you want me to be."

He made me look at him, and I felt myself still.

"The last night you'll spend alone,
I'll wrap you in my arms and I won't let go."

He took my hand in his.

"I'm everything you need me to be.
The last night away from me."

Beast Boy darted into the darkness for a moment before coming back out, a microphone around his ear so he was hands free. He began spinning me around, dancing gracefully with me and smiling. I couldn't help but smile back.

"The night is so long when everything's wrong."

Some people were cheering now, Kole still sitting on her box and giggling, covering her hand with her laugh.

"If you give me your hand I will help you hold on
Tonight,
Tonight."

The lights flashed in time with the beat, white to nothing and ending on complete blankness with Beast Boy pulling me closer to him.

"This is the-."

The lights flashed on.

"Last night you'll spend alone.
Look me in the eyes so I know you know
I'm everywhere you want me to be.

The last night you'll spend alone,
I'll wrap you in my arms and I won't let go
I'm everything you need me to be."

Beast Boy was now content with singing and holding me. I continued to give him a disbelieving look that he would go through all this trouble, and Kole as well, just to make me feel . . . not as alone as I thought I needed to be.

"I won't let you say goodbye,
I'll be your reason why.

The last night away from me,
Away from me."

He rested his forehead on mine and the lights went out after the piano started up again. When it was over the lights, all of them, not just the spotlights, came on with the applause.

"You know you're an idiot, right?" I informed him after her and Kole had bowed. Everyone was filing out, giving the both of us some well deserved privacy.

Beast Boy nodded, "Yup." he took my hand in his. "But I just wanted you to know that you don't have to stay locked up in your room." I looked away, saying nothing. His hand took my face gently in his, making me look into his eyes. "You think you're alone Raven, but you're not. I'm right here. I'll always be right here."

My eyes started to water, he saw that. Then, I hugged him very closely to me, and he squeezed right on back. It could've been painful, however tight he held on, but there was no possible way of me knowing. I'd been holding in all my pent up emotions and now there was only one thing to do.

Cry.

Beast Boy:

I'd really expected this was exactly how my little 'idea' was going to go. Raven's gratitude, and my reminder that I was always here for her would be exactly what she needed to get through to where her real emotions were. I didn't like this stone-cold shell Raven had put on to keep herself from hurting our feelings. I'd rather her snap at me then act like some unfeeling witch, which she most definitely was not. Crying always made you feel a little better, if not completely healed, when you'd been building up things like this.

"I love you, Raven," I murmured, into her hair as I held her and she kept on crying. "I'll love you no matter what, remember?"

Raven nodded against his chest, calming. "Thank you."

I kissed her head. "Anytime. And I hope this means I'm allowed entrance to your room, from now on?"

"Yes, but I can't guarantee I'll be kind all the time, Beast Boy. This . . . whatever this is, is affecting everything about me. I can't even meditate or sleep without opening my eyes to be terrified of something that isn't there."

The only emotion I felt was sympathy. "Do you want me to spend the night with you, tonight? I might not be able to do much, but you know I'll do whatever I can."

Raven was reluctant, I could tell. But eventually she nodded, "Okay."

"Alright, let's go hang out with everyone, while you're still in a good mood." I teased, holding my arm out for her, which she took.

Then, she paused. "Beast Boy?"

"Hmm?"

She smiled up at me, "I love you more then you could ever know."

I grinned at her. Any time she said that, I was always overcome with joy.

It was inevitable that I had to kiss her because of that. She laughed, while kissing me, which was a bit of an odd experience, and I smirked against her mouth.

Terra:

"Her birthday, then," I muttered to myself. Sadly, Beast Boy would be spending the night with her, most likely, so I'd asked Trigon to figure out a way to lure her out of the room. It was the easiest way, and I could just lead her into the forest where I'd give her the marks she was born for. I would be disguised, of course. To keep the advantage Trigon and I had, I'd need to continue on the inner circle.

Glancing down at the marks that appeared on my forehead, in the mirror, I touched the red figure. I sighed, eventually, and it disappeared at my will.

"Terra?"

"Come in," I called, at the muffled voice. The reason for my mischief.

Aqualad entered, smiling. "We're all going down to the beach, do you want to come?"

I nodded, excited. "Sure, I'll be down out in a little while."

"Cool, we're leaving in half an hour, so you've got plenty of time." He told me, with a quick squeeze on my fingers before he ducked back towards the door.

I winked at him, "Can't wait."

He laughed and shut the door behind him.

The others would be concerned about exposure, I knew, but it was no coincidence 'animals' had stolen the sensors Arella's idiot team had placed around the area. Trigon had sent his shadows to fetch them and make it look like squirrels or something. It was for the better, because it kept Arella away, for one, and wouldn't let her save Raven.

Soon, I reminded myself, slipping on a swimsuit Jinx had taken me to buy. Trigon said he could disguise my voice and I would just wear the black uniform and mask he'd given me too hide my real form.

This would all go smoothly.

Robin:

Time had passed. And I knew we needed a celebration. Something happy.

That was around the time Starfire and Beast Boy had come to me, reminding me of a certain date coming up.

I was reasonably optimistic. "I don't think she'll want a party, guys."

Starfire pleaded, which made me waver somewhat. "But, friend Raven needs to celebrate her birthing! At this time, she believes her existence is something bad, which it is most surely not!"

"Exactly," Beast Boy agreed, "But it needs to be a surprise. She can't know about it."

Reluctantly, I nodded, sighing, "Alright, fine. I'm leaving the party to you two, then, and to inform everyone else about this."

Starfire kissed my cheek, and I suppressed a blush. "Thank you, Robin!"

Beast Boy grinned. "Ditto on that, but don't expect me to kiss you, dude."

I scowled, but Starfire giggled. "I believe I can cover this for both of us, friend Beast Boy."

He gagged, and this time I laughed, "Alright, I've got to see Gizmo on the security updates. Have fun."

"Later, Robin!" Beast Boy shouted, and Starfire also gave me a hug before I left.

Raven:

I had an idea of who would knock when I meditated. "Come in, Beast Boy."

I got no response.

After a few seconds of this, one eye opened, and I expected Beast Boy to be in the room. Both eyes opened when he was obviously not, and I stood in the middle of my room, confused. "Hello?"

Another knock.

Frustrated, I headed towards the door and opened it, "Alright, who-?"

No one was there.

"Hello?" I questioned, before noticing an arrow on the floor. I bent, picking one up. It was crudely drawn on a piece of white paper with black marker, but decent enough. I looked up to see a whole line of them, leaning around the corner. I scowled. This had better not be some stupid prank, I thought, following them.

The arrows led into the common room, disappearing once they reached the door. I approached and it slid open to reveal a completely pitch-black dark room. My brow rose.

The light suddenly turned on, and I lifted my arm in surprise, to block out the immediate light change.

"SURPRISE!"

My arm lowered, seeing my friends all gathered around with a cake in hand. I couldn't believe this.

"How . . . Why?" I began, unable to comprehend what was going on.

Melvin was suddenly tugging on my hand, smiling up at my. "We wanted to celebrate your birthday, Raven."

Next to her, both brothers nodded. I couldn't help but smile in disbelief.

"Yeah," Jinx agreed, hands on her hips at the bottom of the stairs, where the others were waiting, each with their own party hat, or some type of party item. "We've been setting this up for weeks. Do you like it?"

"Don't answer that," Cyborg cut in, "Of course you like it! Now come here and give big brother a hug!"

I released Melvin's hand after she and her brother's had escorted me down the steps, hugging Cyborg tightly before releasing him. "What is all this?"

"Its your party, duh," Blackfire said, as if was the most obvious thing in the world. And from the obvious items and decorations around me it could be fairly stated that it was.

I smiled, still in awe and shock, "Th-Thank you, all of you. This is very kind of you."

Kid Flash shrugged, "Well, you can't really give us the credit."

Robin nodded, "Yeah, thank Starfire and Beast Boy. They were the first to think of it."

The crowd parted a little to reveal just those two, Starfire with her hands folded neatly in her lap and Beast Boy with his hands casually stuffed into his pocket.

Starfire ran up, hugging me warmly. "Happy Birthday, friend Raven."

I hugged her back, giving her a quick squeeze before letting her go. "Thanks, Starfire."

"To be more fair," Starfire said, smiling at Beast Boy. "Friend Beast Boy was the one who reminded me. I would not have forgotten, but he is the one who suggested the party."

"You needed it," He said, shrugging and take his hands out of his pocket.

I immediately smiled at him, quickly separating the space between the two of us and throwing my arms around him. He laughed and patted my back, and the happy looks at this display of affectionate were ignored by both of us.

"Thank you, Beast Boy," I said, releasing him.

"Of course, Rae," He replied, then began to address our friends. "Who wants to party?"

The room cheered.

I laughed, "You're an idiot."

After about half an hour of pop-music, which I mostly enjoyed watching in, Cyborg insisted Beast Boy and I entered the dance floor. We did, unsure of where this was going, before he announced that a "slow song" was going to play, and so all couples had to be attending. Melvin, Teether, and Tommy sat on the speakers, enjoying the massage-like vibration it had. Like a kiddie ride. Bumblebee was assisting Cyborg in watching them and the music, and so both were having a good time.

All couples were on the dance floor, but as it would seem, we were automatically in the center. Others were giving us distance, casting glances our way. A guitar started, slow and I realized this was the 'acoustic version' of a song I knew well quick enough.

"My hands are searching for you
My arms are outstretched towards you
I feel you on my fingertips
My tongue dances behind my lips
For you."

"I can't believe you did this," I told him, leaning my head against his chest and we moved slowly in a circle with his hands on my waist and mine on his neck.

He pressed myself further to him, the others hardly paying any attention to us as music was starting to play. With this new-found privacy, he leaned in towards my ear and smiled as I shivered, with his breath on my face.

"This fire runs in through my being
Burning, I'm not used to seeing you."

"You may not be happy you were born," he replied, seductively. "But I'm just happy you're here." He squeezed me tighter against him, emphasizing his point.

"I'm still alive
I'm still alive."

He took my hand, holding our arms out and spinning me.

"I can feel you all around me
Thickening the air I'm breathing
Holding onto what I'm feeling
Savoring this heart that's healing."

We stopped and he brought me back to him, moving just as slowly.

"My hands float up above me
And you whisper you love me
And I began to fade
Into our secret place."

"I'm happy I'm here too," I assured him, quietly.

"Really?"

"The music makes me sway
The angels singing say we are alone with you
I am alone and they are too, with you."

"Absolutely."

"I'm still alive
I'm still alive
We're still alive."

"Good."

"And I can feel you all around me
Thickening the air I'm breathing
Holding onto what I'm feeling
Savoring this heart that's healing."

He stopped spinning me.

"So I cry (holy)
The light is white (holy)
And I see you
Holy . . ."

"She's right, Beast Boy," I told him. This confused him.

"I'm alive."

"Whose right, the singer?"

"I'm still alive."

I nodded.

"How so?"

I leaned in, singing the next line with her.

"We're still alive."

Beast Boy flinched, the alternative of that disturbing him greatly. I stroked his face, smiling as we moved slowly in a circle.

"And I can feel you all around me
Thickening the air I'm breathing
Holding onto what I'm feeling
Savoring this heart that's healing."

I leaned my face in, my breath on his ear. He stiffened, whether in joy or apprehension, I wasn't sure. The possibility of him feeling that now he was further in the duty to protect me was there, but I hoped he wouldn't think of it that way.

But, knowing him, he probably did. I sang the next part nonetheless.

"Take my hand
I give it to you
Now you own me
All I am
You said you would never leave me
I believe you, I believe."

He spun me out and around and then in, pulling me in just as the last word finished.

"I can feel you all around me
Thickening the air I'm breathing
Holding onto what I'm feeling
Savoring this heart that's healed."

Some people clapped, although I wasn't entirely sure why. The rest of the night was rather uneventful. The usual "happy birthday" song was sung, as well as presents were given, though, I hardly would have wanted them. Even last year, on my birthday, I'd specifically asked people not to get me anything, and so every gave me something small. I rolled my eyes, teasingly, about how no one listened to me, but of course I accepted and appreciated everything. Terra seemed abnormally out-of-it, only smiling when spoken to, but otherwise stared vacantly out the window. I imagined she felt rather out of place, but was reassured when Aqualad persistently kept her involved. My brow rose, but I was happy the two were finding so much interest in one another.

"I'd assume the birthday girl is tired?" Beast Boy asked, at around midnight.

I nodded, in the middle of a yawn. "Yes. Thank you very much, everyone, for this party. It meant a lot to me. And of course, was one of the best celebrations I've ever been to."

They cheered.

"Goodnight, Raven!" Teether called, hugging me around my legs. I knelt and gave all three of the siblings hugs. It was needless to say they didn't entirely understand the depth of the situation, but were okay, so long as I, Jinx, and Terra were around. They never really bonded with Arella, who watched from afar kindly, like she used to and always had done.

Not anymore, I reminded myself. The thought immediately sobered me, and I forced myself to hug the others, yawning occasionally until Beast Boy took me back to my room.

"Why so upset?" He questioned, once the door was closed.

I looked away, "Arella . . ."

He nodded, kissing my forehead, "Wanna watch a movie?"

Beast Boy:

It was late, and Raven and I had been watching the movie. But, well, truth be told, we'd lost interest.

Other things were far more important.

"So, what do you think this is about, Rae?"

She stiffened, and I felt that, as her back was against my chest. Immediately I began rubbing her arm in an attempt to comfort her and murmured words of reassurance she didn't seem to hear.

"I don't want to kill anyone, Beast Boy," She whimpered, clinging to me. I grabbed her tightly, turning her to face me. She kept her arms tightly around my neck, refusing to cry. Crying didn't do anything, I guessed was her reasoning. She was all cried-out.

As terrified as I was, I knew only one thing for sure at the moment.

"How much pain are you in?" She breathed, as if reading my mind.

She must have felt me freeze and buried her head into my shoulder. That was all the answer she needed.

"Raven," I whispered, and even I could hear just how truly strained I was. "I don't want to lose you."

"You won't lose me," Raven promised. "I'll protect you, no matter what."

"And I'll do whatever I have to to keep you on this planet, with me," I promised back, kissing her forehead.

We sat in the dark and eventually I took the remote, flipping the TV off and carrying Raven, half asleep, into her bedroom. I laid her down gently when her hand suddenly shot out, grabbing me. I was mildly surprised.

"Don't leave," she yawned, tiredly, and her grip slackened. "I don't want to be alone."

I nodded, smirking, and took off my shoes. I lay next to her silently, and she immediately curled around me. Her even breathing was my reassurance that everything would be fine, and I fell asleep to that sound.

Raven:

I wasn't exactly sure why I'd woken up, but I was up. And this was the longest sleep I'd had in a while, I realized, glancing at the clock that read 3:00 am. I felt a small pressure around my waist and smiled down at Beast Boy, fast asleep with me, just like I remembered.

I kissed his forehead, wide awake, and started to get out of bed. His hand gripped my wrist and I jumped, surprised.

He was immediately alert, staring at me before relaxing, "Sorry."

"No problem," I replied, as he released me.

Beast Boy, recently, always woke up at the slightest unusual movement in the middle of the night. The Beast inside of him was on constant high-alert and ready at any time to defend me.

"Where are you going?" He asked, sitting up as I put my cloak on.

"Just to get some tea," I replied, "I want to see if I can go back to sleep."

"Want me to come with you?"

"Nah, its just into the kitchen. Unless of course, you think I'm going to stab myself?" I teased.

He scowled, his ears drooping, "Not funny."

"Calm down," I insisted, kissing him tenderly before pulling away, "And stop worrying, its not good for your health."

He scoffed, and I heard him mutter, "Right. Random scars are appearing on you everywhere, we've all recently become runaways, and you're worried about my health. That makes perfect sense."

I laughed, quietly shutting the door and prepping my tea.

Something moved and I turned around. There was nothing there.

I rolled my eyes, "Jumpy, Raven?"

Of course nothing responded and I turned back to the microwave, waiting for the water to heat up. I saw some shadow move and realized the fire was going in the fireplace. I wondered who'd lit it and left it on but took a pitcher of cold water, dumping it on the wood. We had a heater, it wasn't like we needed the warmth. The fire sizzled out, hissing as it went, but I set the pitcher on the counter, taking out my mug. I grabbed a teabag from the cupboard.

This time, when something moved, I turned around, ready to see something abnormal. When there was once again nothing, I scowled and regretted leaving the comfort of my room and the safety of Beast Boy's arms.

"This is getting ridiculous," I muttered, grabbing my cup and sipping at the tea. "No one is here but myself."

I waited, the silence reassuring and I sighed, relieved, pushing the mug towards my mouth.

"Hello, Raven."

I lost my grip on the mug and it shattered, collapsing into a million pieces on the floor.

HOLY SHITICKERS GUYS!

Who wants to murder Terra? Anyone? Whose pissed at Arella?

I for one, can raise my hand for both.

Until the next chapter, my dears. The song was "All Around Me" acoustics by Flyleaf

AND ALSO, I WANTED TO ANSWER SOME THINGS THAT HAVE NOT GOTTEN ACROSS, DO TO MY LACK OF INPUT IN MY STORY!

LoveBassClarinet

. . . And is Arella going to get better? How did she go that insane so fast? Did Trigon's renewed presence cause her to snap or something? Because earlier in your writings she's been like a worrying mother figure, and now she's like some psychopath. Just didn't understand that part of the plot 100%.

Sadly, Arella did snap, thanks to Trigon. She is now going deeper and deeper into her own psychotic mind, feeling the Titans have betrayed her. Everyone overreacted, it would seem, and now, time cannot turn back to fix that. She's permanently scarred, it would seem. It would take a lot to turn her back. :) You'll have to wait and see.

Finally, what about that mysterious thing that sucked Blackfire's power? Is it one of Trigon's minions or something else entirely? Is it going to take anyone else's power? And is Blackfire going to get her powers back?

I can comment on this! It doesn't reveal anything, so I'll answer a few things about this. Blackfire will not get her powers back, but she is super-strong, like the rest of her people, but not as strong as Starfire. The thing was and is working for Trigon, and he was collecting power to gain strength.

Questions! Does Raven have her chakra in this?

If you're referring to the diamond on her forehead then yes, Raven has her chakra. Why do you ask?

What about her meditation mirror?

I haven't decided on that, actually. I think she will get it, but she doesn't have it yet. For her to have that mirror would make her know about Trigon, and her heritage and/or father, which she obviously did not.

Is Hotspot in this too? Are my questions driving you bonkers? O.o xD

Hotspot is one of those, "other Titans" they were referring to when talking about how they would take care of the city while the main (and my more favored) Titans were away. He was almost included in this, but I needed to leave some behind. And no, I appreciated your questions, because they give me the opportunity to clarify.

HausofGlitter

Oh damn, why'd u have to make Trigon's mortal name Trevor? I was just gettin over a jerk named Trevor, & when I read that part, I pictured him as him! Lol! Well, this story is nicely written, but honestly, I think Rae's being to harsh on arella... Hope she apoligises for it! But so far, this is a great story. (:

First off, my greatest apologies! I did not intend to bring up any bad memories for anyone (like rape trauma victims who might randomly be reading this, though I certainly did not expect exes to be brought up either). But as condolences, then you can also imagine this Trevor boy (assuming he remains a boy, in assuming you have not cut his genitals off while he was sleeping) getting stabbed my Raven's mother. The name Trevor will also not be named again, just so you know.

shadowwolfgrl

this chapter could be described in two words. PURELY EPICCC! i loveeee this storyy and i love the high school acting. it must have taken you a while to think of the identity cover names. its kinda confusing but eventually you get it. lol sexually active kids. i love goth kids x3

It was difficult for me to image Raven and Beast Boy as sexually active, though, not Kid Flash and Jinx, and Blackfire. If you read the stories on Kid Flash (one which I will be writing as soon as this story, or my other one is finished, possibly) most of them are about how he goes through girls rather quickly, though Jinx struck his real intrigue, and about how he has slept with quite a few of the girls. Nonetheless, I apologize about the identities. I hope the Key-Name at the bottom and top of those chapters helped. The High-School acting was actually easier to write then I expected, and it did take a while. If you notice (which I'm sure most of you did) their full-names are simply play-offs of their first names. If you say it as a whole, you can hear their real names, like Redge Alexander-Red X, Redge AleXander. It wasn't for all names, though, but anyways. I'm glad you enjoyed the chapter.
