Raven was in her room, meditating to the sound of Eastern acoustic guitar playing harmoniously on her laptop during the afternoon, levitating in the air as she let the serenity help her reach inner peace... until rumbling sounds that sounded like massive footsteps brought her back into reality jarringly. She groaned as she stopped the music and shut her laptop before leaving her room to investigate what was happening. In the living room, Cyborg and Beast Boy were doing some weird wrestling style dance copying the two avatars on the screen. Snapping her fingers, she silenced the tv with her magic, throwing the male titans off and losing their perfect streak.

"Aw come on, man! The TV can't be broken again now! We just replaced it!" Cyborg complained as he tried to inspect the tv before a cough interrupted him.

"What are you doing? You disrupted my much needed meditation." Raven questioned, her tone and face a little angrier than usual before recomposing herself.

"It's the newest game we just got along with the new TV Rave; Dance Just 'Cause 4! Now that the tower is fixed again, we thought we'd celebrate with some loud music and dancing!" Beast Boy cheered.

"Please Raven, do you not want to shake the thing?" Starfire politely asked while also hip bumping her female companion, but the half-demon scolded,

"I just want peace and quiet!" Realizing she had an outburst, she took a deep breath and calmed down before continuing, "I'm sorry. I just really need my meditation right now considering that little prism fiasco is giving me mood swings at the moment. I mean, it does sound super fun-ugh!" She grunted from irritation feeling a swell of happiness thinking about dancing before forcing it down.

"Sorry Raven. We'll try to keep it down but we don't know if our feet will be quiet." Robin shrugged. Groaning again with more annoyance, she turned her back towards them.

"I'm going to take a nap. And you'd better be quiet. You think annoying me from meditation is bad? You haven't seen anything if it's sleep." Leaving, she left the titans wondering what to do.

"Aw man, how are we supposed to have fun with Raven being the fun police, dudes?" Beast Boy complained, still wanting to dance. It was then that Cyborg got an idea.

"How about this?" He whispered into the changling's ear, who did chuckle at the idea at first, then his eyes conveyed worry as all of it dawned on him.

"Dude, I'm all up for something like that, but in the state she's in right now, I'm pretty sure I don't want to be torn to shreds or banished into an alternate dimension or somethin'."

"Relax. It'll be returned before she notices its gone." He reassured.

In Raven's room, the female titan was sleeping underneath her bed sheets, having multiple dreams at once which made sleeping peacefully impossible, even with the calming guitar music from earlier. This did however provide a small white and blue anti-gravity device with arms to move an air-duct cover out of the way enter enter her room. It looked around and spotted her cloak hanging on a hook. With its two tiny yet strong enough arms, it lifted the cloak up and took it into the vents before putting the cover back where it was.

Shortly after this, Robin, Starfire and Beast Boy were watching some tv, bored since nothing was on when Cyborg came it with his hands behind his back.

"Guys, check out what I got!"

"You didn't." Beast Boy snickered.

"Didn't what?" Robin inquired, confused.

"Behold what I have! Booyah!" He yelled as he presented her cloak.

"You stole her cloak?!" Robin gasped in fright.

"Don't worry about it Robin." The cybernetic titan brushed off. "Raven won't notice a thing since I'll put it back. After all, don't you want to feel like Raven even if just for a moment? We dressed like you way back when." He mentioned while tossing the cloak to the titan leader.

"You were just lucky I think my costume is cool. Raven wouldn't be so forgiving, especially in her current state. Although..." The Boy Wonder looked down at the cloak, intrigued himself. "Four minutes. We each get one minute, and then its back in Raven's room exactly where it was."

"Deal." Cyborg agreed to. Robin put it on by clasping the ruby red jewel clip and pulled the hood over his head, noticing his lower shins and feet were visible.

"Dude, what's it like in there?" Beast Boy asked. Pulling the hood farther so that most of his face was shadowed, he narrowed his eyes while speaking in a gravelly voice,

"I'm Batman." All of them laughed at the comparison that both were dark and brooding. "Haha, seriously though. It's like I'm wearing his cape and cowl given how much of my body and face are shielded from light. I mean, I wonder if on a good day or a bad day she's like, "Wah, my day is super dark and gloomy." I can't tell half the time." He chuckled as he took it off and handed it to Beast Boy. Putting it on, he observed that it covered him up entirely.

"Haha, oh man! I never noticed it dudes, but Rae and I are the same height! Check this out!" He hunched over and put on a downer face. "Death, darkness, skulls and bones." All of them again laughed at the over-exaggerating of her personality when he gasped excitedly. "Oh oh oh, guess what I am!" He shapeshifted into a octopus and plopped to the ground. Cyborg hollered in laughter from the gag he pulled off.

"hehehe, oh how funny Beast Boy! Now I too would like the experience of the wearing of the cloak!" Starfire requested as she took it off the cephalopod and put it on, though her huge volume of hair made it somewhat difficult to clasp. Pretending to be sad and depressing, she groaned, "Look at me. I am a total sack of the sadness. Boohoo." The boys were going hysterical from all these impersonations, Beast Boy holding his torso as he fell on his side and rolled around having such a jolly good time.

"Hahaha, so funny! I can't take it, Hahaha!" As Starfire handed the cloak to Cyborg, he put it on, but noted it wasn't as funny for him.

"Hey, is something wrong, Cyborg?" Robin asked.

"It ain't even a cloak to me. It's just a rag with a hole in it." He answered, the cloak only covering his head and shoulders. Hearing a door slide open, they heard something that drove horror into their hearts.

"You guys... are in so much TROUBLE!" Raven's voice echoed from the hallway.

"Ah! Quick Cy, take it off!" Beast Boy told his panicking best friend.

"It won't unclip!" He told the green teen as he tried pulling it off, only for the clip to pop off and go into the shapeshifter's mouth making him choke. Robin got behind him and performed the Heimlich maneuver, but once that came out, it bounced off of Cyborg's chest and fell onto his foot, cracking into two pieces and falling out of the frame. Cyborg with his hurried attempt to take it off also accidently ripped the cloak in half, using to much strength.

"Uh oh." Starfire gulped.

"Uh oh is right." A certain voice filled with venom responded, they turned to see an enraged Raven staring at them with almost murderous intent. "You thought you could just steal my cloak while I was sleeping?!" She yelled the last word out.

"I was going to return it, before you woke up. That way it's not stealing." Cyborg explained himself, sweating with what little skin he had left.

"I told you to stay out of my room, and that includes any droids you might've used! My cloak helps me during meditation, and you just destroyed my last clean one! Ugh, why did it have to happen on the day where I put all but one of my cloaks in the wash and this happens during that?! When I'm done with you all..." While she was talking, Beast Boy came up with an idea. It was a wild shot, but this was a life and death situation.

"Uh... Raven?"

"What is it, Booger Brain?!" She yelled at him.

"I just got to say this before you either kill me, banish me or both, but seeing you without your cloak... I never realized how beautiful you are without it." That pretty much stopped all the accumulated rage in her, though there was still some annoyance when she said,

"What?"

"I mean, I'm always used to seeing your head on occasion, or your body for a few seconds while the cloak's open, but seeing everything at once for this long? You look mighty pretty, Rae." He told her, trying to stay cool. The sorceress blushed, feeling some of her stronger emotions warring with each other. However, with Rage being the only one, it was overpowered as she smiled and giggled while looking away, embarrassed.

"Uh... hehe, thank you Beast Boy. I never knew that."

"So... uh-" Cyborg was about to ask something when he was suddenly kicked in the chest by an angry Raven who switched back as soon as she heard his voice. Crashing into the nearby wall with a grunt, he looked down to see a foot print in his really durable metal.

"Shut it, Cyborg! You're already in enough trouble!" Picking up the two halves of her cloak, she threw them at him. "Fix those back together, and do it so well I can't even tell it was ripped!"

"Will do!" He yelped as he ran to his room in fright. Taking a deep breath, the female titan turned back to Beast Boy, swinging back to happily embarrassed.

"So, you think I'm pretty?"

"Of course Rave. Would I lie to you?" He asked, feeling more confident as he draped his arm over her shoulders, but she backed away, now feeling more timid as she covered her chest and groin.

"But... I need my cloak. With how skintight this leotard is... people can see my chest and groin. Thinking about who might see me makes me feel uncomfortable. How do you stand to dress like a cheerleader, Starfire?"

"Well, as... cheerleader as this outfit is, it's pretty modest compared to what other females on Tamaran wear. If I had to compare my clothes to your Earth seasons and the seasons of my home world, these would be winter clothes on Tamaran." Having not seen the majority of clothing fasion of other Tamaraneans except for Blackfire, it was hard to picture, but if the sisters' clothes were considered winter, what the heck were summer clothes?!

"The one other girl in the tower and she doesn't have our sense of modesty. How embarrassing can this get for me?" Raven whimpered as she began to tear up and sat down into a ball, feeling so vulnerable.

"Raven, do you not like your body?" Beast Boy asked.

"What? N-no. I just don't want other people looking at me without my cloak." The timid titan replied weakly.

"Raven, while I respect your sense of privacy and need to withdraw, perhaps you should take some more pride in your body." Starfire suggested. "The guys in the city often tell me that I am the pretty or the hot when I am alone, and I feel good about myself because of it, even though I'm not looking to be complimented either. And besides, even if you do not feel good about the compliments, the least you could try to do is not let it bother you. What if the bad guys attacked? What would you do?"

"I-I would fight." Raven answered.

"And how would you do it?"

"With all that I've got like always." The sorceress said, feeling her timidity replaced with some bravery.

"So if you are willing to fight without the cloak, then should regular people bother you?"

"No!" Raven yelled, filled with much more confidence as she stood up and straitened her posture. "Man, I thought having no cloak to wear was terrible, but I've never let the people get to me, so why start now?"

"Glorious!" Starfire cheered, her motivational words having worked.

"Glad to hear you won't let this get to you Raven." Robin complimented as he patted her back.

"Yeah, so how you feeling, Rae?"

"Much better. Thanks Starfire!" Raven cheered as she hugged the alien princess.

"Joy! You are the welcome, friend Raven!" She replied while returning the hug. Once the hug was over, Raven kissed Beast Boy on the cheek.

"And thanks for calling me beautiful." The green teen chuckled while blushing.

"Hehe, you're welcome." And that's when the alarm went off.

"The crime alert! Titans, go!" Robin yelled. Once the titans have made it to the crime scene, they were preparing to fight the Hive Five when three of the males noticed something; Raven's legs. They started to drool, make wolf howls and whistled in approval.

"Seriously guys? We're here to be criminals, not creeps." Jinx told them off, not appreciating their behavior.

"Yeah, I mean seriously. What's so attractive about her legs?" The little kid prodigy known as Gizmo questioned his underlings.

"If you ain't old enough to appreciate something like this, then stay out of it squirt." See-more told the leader while taking a picture with his cyclops helmet.

"Ugh.. Alright, I'm out. They're all yours titans." Jinx permitted as she went to a bus bench and unwrapped a bubblegum lollypop.

"Same. I'm just going to go back and try to steal enough for just me and Jinx." Gizmo said as he flew back into the building.

"No you don't!" Robin cried out as he followed after him.

"Come on Rave, let's show them what you're made of!" Beast Boy exclaimed. There was no response. "Uh, Raven?" He asked again. Turning his head, he saw she was going timid again. Despite the confidence boost, there was enough time getting here for Raven to essential become more of herself instead of brave, and with the Hive's unwanted attention towards her, she shrunk back behind Starfire.

"I-I can't. They're staring at me so creepily." And as if that weren't enough, once people were noticing Raven without her cloak, they started exiting the buildings and hiding places and bombarded her with lots of more inappropriate calls and taking pictures of her appearance without her cloak.

"Hey, lay off my girl you creeps!" Beast Boy shouted at the crowds while trying to protect her with his own body.

"Indeed! You are making friend Raven the really uncomfortable!" Starfire joined him, covering the cowering sorceress with her hair.

"Fine, then we'll just beat you while you protect her!" Billy Numerous said as he multiplied and tried to rush at them. As for Raven, she groaned from the chaos in her head. With her eyes closed shut, there were constant flashes of different colors. Red Rage against all of the perverts wanting to crush them, Green Brave wanting to fight yet Grey Timid to run and hide from every line of sight. Magenta Passion wanted to take a notch at doing something but Yellow Knowledge and Orange Rude wanted to sling all sorts of words at those making her uncomfortable. All these colors were rapid fire explosions in her mind, threatening to drive her insane, but as soon as she heard Beast Boy call her 'his girl', Brave, Happiness and Passion started to win out and drown out the other colors, before even they started to be overcome by a color never seen before; gold.

Raven opened her eyes, her eyes showing gold before going back to normal. Standing up and walking past the two confused other titans.

"Thanks guys, but I'm good now. I'll take it from here. Azarath..." Her legs started glowing black from her magic. The Billy clones were getting closer. "...Metrione..." Getting onto her hands, she went into a handstand just as they were going to overwhelm the heroes. "...Zinthos!" Spinning around like a top, she created a whirlwind of black magic that sucked up all of the terrified Billies as they were thrown around backwards into the grounds, the buildings, and various items and cars. Realizing she was fighting back, Mammoth tried to ram at her, figuring his bulk would be enough to plow through. Stopping with the spinning, she pushed up and concentrated all her magic into his right leg up to over the knee. "Hyiiiiah!" Jumping forward, she kicked Mammoth in the forehead with enough power to stop him dead in his tracks. With the magic applied, he slumped forward and fell into the ground, and a skull shaped bruise inside of the shoe print was indented into his forehead. Raven smiled at her handiwork until she was trapped in a yellow-green force field orb. Tracking it down to See-More, she smiled as she stomped the rest of the magic in her leg into the shield, shattering it. While he reeled from the feedback, the ocular villain sure got an eye full of a jump kick into his helmet's eye, received two round kicks first from the left then the right, and finally a straight forward kick into his gut. He was down before he could make another noise, pained or otherwise. Jinx watched all this with intrigue, not used to seeing Raven this head on and flashy with physical movement. Upon seeing the female titan approach her, the villainess requested,

"If you let me finish this lollypop and give me a good word for only a three day stay while they get two weeks; I'll go to prison with no fuss. Nice moves by the way. That's new."

"Thanks. And I think that's reasonable enough." The two girls nodded. Raven then turned and went back to the other two titans.

"Uh, you okay Rave?" The green teen asked her. Smiling, she hugged him.

"Thanks for what you said. You brought something good out of me."

"Oh. You're uh... welcome." He replied, smiling while hugging her back. Once they separated, she said to Starfire,

"Thanks for covering me during that moment."

"You are the welcome Raven. I cannot stand my fellow companions be sad." The alien princess then stared irritated at the crowds, whom started walking away as soon as they were noticed.

"It's okay. It doesn't bother me. For real now." Robin soon came out of the building holding Gizmo over his shoulder. Seeing Jinx sitting there finishing her pop, he asked,

"Did she surrender?"

"Yeah. I'm putting in a good word she doesn't stay in prison long there."

"Alright. Let's drop these guys off and go home." Robin shrugged.
