Childhood's Hour

</= o:p>

Disclaimer:</= b> Alas, I do not own Teen Titans nor The Spider and the Fly

Summary: = Raven, it seems, will forever remain a mystery to the Titans. She's cold and unfeeling. But what if she had her reasons. What if her dark and painful pa= st was finally catching up to her? Whatever happens, the Titans will never be = the same again.

Rating: R=

Note: I h= ave seen very few episodes unfortunately and from what I have found out about Raven,= I will be changing some of it.

At this point in time, I have no idea about romantic pairings, so I'll take recommendations.

For everyone who's Jewish, I'd like to say, L'Shanah Tovah!

I'm so happy, I've gotten feedback already= ! I have felt the motivation to write!

"Hey Rae! Hungry?" Beast Boy stared up at the older girl. She glared at hi= m. "I guess that's a 'no'. How 'bout some eggs?" He looked at her hopefully.

"No."

"Oh c'mon Rae! Have some fun!"

"Leave me alone."

"Gyaah!" Beast Boy scowled as the pot he held melted. "Why'd ya hafta do that, Rae?"

Raven glared at him. "I said: Leave. Me. Alone."

"Friend Raven, is something wrong?" The dark haired girl sighed as Starfire c= ame up behind her.

The Sorceress sighed. "Everything's fine. I just want to be alone."

"But Rae…" Beast Boy couldn't finish. Raven had left.

She sat silently on her bed, staring at the empty words on the page before her.= English sucks.

It was truly humiliating. Despite all the books she owned, no matter how many times she read them, the words remained empty, the words remained unknown to her.

She hated it.

The Others were acting up. That couldn't be allowed. The Others would bri= ng her nothing but trouble.

She sighed, wishing she could be like normal people.

What did I do wrong?

&= nbsp; That was the question of her life. She'd never found an answer. She probab= ly never would.

If anyone had been watching her, had been looking into her eyes, they would ha= ve noticed them glaze over ever so slightly.

Raven looked up, determination in her eyes. I want to die.

&= nbsp; Her hand slowly reached for the kitchen knife she'd hidden in her room. S= he smiled as it slid across her skin.

"Hello Robin." Starfire smiled as the Boy Wonder walked past her.

He sighed. "Not now Star. I think I may have another lead on Slade.&#822= 1; Robin smiled.

"That is good!"

"Rob, this is bordering on obsession. Ya know that, right." Beast Boy looked over from his place on the couch next to Cyborg, their latest game on.

Robin glared at the green boy. "Beast Boy."

The Shapeshifter quickly glanced around the room, looking for a way to change t= he subject. "Hey Rae!" He jumped up from his place on the couch and ran over to the Goth girl.

Raven sighed. "What do you want?"

Beast Boy looked around nervously, his eyes falling on the Boy Wonder. "Uh…I think Robin has it in for me today."

She scowled. "And what am I supposed to do about that?"

He groaned. "Tell him he's gone insane!"

Raven suddenly turned and glared (more so than usual) at Beast Boy. "No. Ju= st leave me alone."

Raven walked away as Beast Boy's watch melted.

Three-fourteen. She didn't want to go to sleep. If she slept, then the dreams would certainly come. No, she didn't want to remember. Not ever.
