Everyone was silent as Raven stood before the alter. No one knew what to think. She looked exactly like Raven, and she sounded like Raven. The same thought went through every Titan's head: Could this really be Raven?

"You all seem very quiet. Whats the matter? Your all acting like you've seen a ghost." Raven said.

"Is this some kind of sick joke?" Beast Boy said angrily. "Cause it's NOT funny"

She looked to him and gave him a menacing smile. "Oh like you know what 'funny' is Beast Boy."

Cyborg could hear his buddy growl under his breath. Beast Boy may not be the smartest, but he could tell when something was wrong. Unbeknown to others, Beast Boy did actually have that animal instinct.

"Raven?" Starfire calmly spoke as she stepped towards her. "Is it really you?"

Her soft emerald eyes teared up as she looked at her long lost friend and she quickly wrapped her arms around her in her tight embrace. "You are alive? I thought we had lost you."

Raven just stood there with no return of affection. The others saw the expression of disgust as Starfire continued to hug her. No one knew what to do. Nightwing wanted to take Starfire back into his arms. Thats all he could think about was protecting her. Cyborg had been scanning Raven trying to see if this was her. Beast Boy could only feel fear and anger. The minister dying of a heart attack and stroke and this person claiming to be Raven couldn't be a coincidence. It just couldn't be. And if this was the real Raven then why now has she come back? Where had she been? And why is she completely different? There was definitely something wrong. Beast Boy did not like it. Not at all.

Raven finally placed her hands on Starfire's shoulders and pushed her back.

"Thank you for such a...kind gesture. But I wouldn't exactly find it worth anything."

Starfire's eyes filled with hurt. She had missed and cried for her friend for two years yet Raven showed no sign of joy for their reunion. Instead all she could see was cold hatred in Raven's eyes.

"So the two love birds finally tied the knot. Well...almost anyway." She chuckled.

Beast Boy felt his hair stand on end. This could not be the same Raven. She actually laughed. And at something so dark and horrible even for Raven. He of all people knew that she never laughed at just anything. And this was not a normal laugh. This laugh wasn't with happiness. It was something else. He knew now she did have something to do with the minister.

"Raven what had happened to you?" Starfire asked. "We all believed you had been destroyed. We have missed you so terribly much."

Raven shrugged and scoffed. "Oh please. The look on your face is making me my stomach churn. What makes you think that I care about your stupid grievance?"

Starfire took a step back to Nightwing. "Raven what are you saying? Are you truly not happy to see us? For us all to be reunited once more?"

Raven smiled and folded her arms. "Oh don't get me wrong. I am absolutely thrilled to see you all. The whole team and more," she motioned toward all the heroes in the room. "All in one small area together. Especially you Starfire."

Cyborg looked towards the exits and saw more hooded figures close the doors. He put his arm behind his back and quietly activated his sonic cannon.

"Let's cut to the chase." Raven spoke. "I am here for one reason."

The room suddenly started to get warmer as if it were an oven. Many of the guests started to worry. Nightwing grabbed Starfire's hand and pulled her towards him. Beast Boy clenched his fists as Cyborg kept his eyes on the doors and windows. Raven slowly lifted her arm and pointed to Starfire.

"Give me the Tamaranean, and I may spare your pathetic lives." she warned.

Nightwing glared at her and stood in front of his bride. "Not a chance."

Raven narrowed her eyes. "You sure you want to make that move?"

He nodded. "You'll have to go through me before I let you harm her."

Raven just stared at them. "I'll give you to the count of three to hand her over."

Nightwing didn't step down but instead continued holding his love close to him.

"One..."

Cyborg noticed more hooded figures started to appear around the room.

"Two..."

Beast Boy glared at her and started to growl to where everyone could hear including Raven. She slowly looked to him and smiled at him.

"Three."
