we were on our way home after almost and hour of grocery shopping. I had found what oreos I wanted and quickly bought them. No one knew what I had bought but I could tell they were curious.
"what did you buy friend raven?" star sat next to me and was eying the bag I had in my lap. I would tell her if it weren't so embarrassing and if oreos were the only thing I had bought. After finding the oreos I headed to the herbs section of the market to get some ingredients that I needed to stock up on. And I also had to get a uniform and I really didn't want any one to see just yet.
"nothing star don't worry about it." I answered and looked out of the window and ignored the stares I got from everyone.
"hey we should all go out clubbing tonight since its Friday and all that." BB leaned forward and popped his head in between the two front seats.
"i don't think so remember last time we tried to sneak out?" cyborg said as Starfire nodded in agreement. So these superheros weren't so perfect after all. I smirked and thought back to all the times me and Micheal snuck out somewhere.
"hey wait raven?" BB addressed me and I knew that this could not end well.
"what?" he smiled and it was put on alert in an instant.
"well I heard that you are telekinetic and stuff so then you should be able to teleport without being noticed" it wasn't even a question and I wasn't the only one who was shocked at his use of his brain for once.
"dude if you can figure that out why are you flunking classes?" cyborg said staring at him through the review mirror.
"because classes don't have anything interesting to offer" BB sat back as if he had solved the problem.
"you seem so confident that she is going to take us" robin said as he looked at me through the side mirror outside.
"what do you mean? Raven you don't want to go?" BB was staring at me like some weirdo and it made my blood boil but I kept my face impassive.
"not my scene" I said simply and turned away to look back out the window.
"well can you at least drop us off and maybe pick us up?" I looked at him and lifted a brow.
"do I look like a taxi service?" he chuckled a little nervously at my irritated tone.
"no I guess not sorry?" BB sat back devastated and it sorta made me feel bad that I was the reason that they couldn't go out.
"maybe tomorrow" I said nonchalantly and I could feel everyone's aurora brightened at the prospect of going clubbing.

"you will be my portal to that miserable world" my father's voice boomed from everywhere. Yet I couldn't see him, everything was dark.
"don't listen to him. Fight it sweety" that's when I heard my mother's strained voice as if she were very weak.
"mother? Mother where are you?" I walked through the endless dark but it seemed never ending. Suddenly the dark resided and I walked to the shoreline of jump city. It was a beautiful day, the sun was shining and the water reflected the spiraling colors of the sunrise.
All of a sudden the sky was alight with a dark blood red color and the waters became a burning ocean of lava. Fear and a nagging sense of death made me hesitate to turn around. When I did what I saw caused me to scream in horror.
The who city was in flames and buildings were reduced to nothing but ruins. This was hell and I knew who had brought this to the world.
"you will be my portal to this world child." a gut wrenching fear spread through me as I turned. There he was, Trigon The Terrible, my father on the small island in the middle of the ocean of lava.
"what do you want from me? Leave me alone!" I was on the break of tears with frustration. Then he laughed and it was a dark and demented sound that sent chills down my spine.
"fear the day of your 16th birthday child for that is the day of destiny when you shall let me through to this world" the sound of his laughter was mixed with the sound of millions of screaming souls.
"NO!"
~o~o~o~o~o~
"NO!" I shot up in my bed drenched in sweat and my breathing was labored. It had to have been just a dream, nothing more. Rubbing my face with my hands I tried to calm myself before anything else. Why had I dreamed of that and was it real? Looking up I noticed my whole room was a semblance of a battle field. Sighing, I knew this would not go unnoticed and as if wanting to confirm her guess there were a series of knocks at my door.
"Raven?" robin's voice surprised me, not because I didn't expect someone, I just didn't expect that someone to be him. "are you alright?"
"y...yeah...I'm fine" I called back as I pulled m powers under control and started to put everything back where it belonged.
"can I came in?" I froze at his request. Why did he want to come in? No I couldn't let him see me like this. Why did I care what he thought of me anyway? What was happening to me? Sighing, I got up and walked to the door. Before I opened it I deprived my emotions then when I was sure nothing was going to slip I opened the door.
There he stood in a pair of jeans but no shirt. I barely suppressed a blush from spreading across my face. Why was he not wearing a shirt? Trying not to seem effected I tried to look back to him but it was impossible with his well toned body there before me.
"can you go put on a shirt first?" I didn't mean it as a bad thing but I wouldn't be able to stay in control with him so exposed. He looked down and I could swear there was a small tint of red to his cheeks.
"yeah sorry hold on" quickly he jogged towards his room leaving me with an amazing view of his backside. I bit my lower lip as I watched him enter his room; man was that image going to haunt me. Quickly I looked down the hall and yet I didn't see any sign that anyone had heard me or my powers. Then why had robin? Walking back into my room, I left the door ajar so he could let himself in.
"i need a snack" I whispered and went for my little secret that I had hid under my bed. An Oreo would save me from losing control for now. At least until robin stars asking questions. Sighing, I prayed for the strength to deal with robin. Why had I even agreed for him to come in? What was it that caused me to feel this attraction towards him? Who was this guy?
~o~o~o~o~o~
robin grabbed a with button up shirt and threw it on. Then he headed back towards raven's room where he found the door ajar and took it as a sign to go in. he walked in hesitantly and caught raven as she was stuffing something under her bed. Feeling like a peeper he looked away and knocked lightly to announce his presence. She quickly turned to face him with a small look of surprise and hid something behind her back.
"don't worry I won't say anything" he smirked as her eyes went wide and she looked to the ground.
"its..." raven seemed to try and think of an explanation. Robin walked in and closed the door behind him.
"you don't have to explain anything its alright I can keep a secret if can't tell" he pointed to his mask as an example of a secret he had that not many knew. Hesitantly raven brought her hands back into view and had one closed. What could be in there? Robin wondered. Slowly she opened it to reveal a small round thing. It took a while for robin to realize what it was. He moved closer and it turned out to be an Oreo cookie which made him smile. So this ice queen had a sweet tooth or just a taste for oreos.
"well now I know you have good taste" he smirked and walked over to her bed and flopped down and looked at her.
"do have any more. They kinda are my weakness." he rubbed the back of his neck a bit embarrassed. He saw raven smile and flop down beside him then she reached under her bed and pulled out a bag.
"my secret stash." she opened the bag to reveal a whole package of oreos, double stuffed. "i have a sort of addiction to these things" she looked down a little embarrassed at confessing this secret to robin. Robin smirked and reached into the bag and grabbed an Oreo.
"well what a coincidence–" raven looked up to see a smirk on his face as he ate the Oreo "so do i"
