Thanks for the reviews, I only got 6 T.T for 2 chaps when my friend got 24 for 4 T.T does it suck that much?! Bleh… Anyways… Please know that I have HW and SCHOOL! And I'm not the type to write a fanfic in one day without taking like days to look over and stuff -.-` sorry, But I'll try my best to make them quicker, anyways! HERE WE GO! ENJOY? (you should see how long it took me to right one chapter for my other fanfics, I think there was one day that I didn't update for a month lol)

 

Raven woke up at the crack of dawn after a dreamless sleep. For a moment, confusion swept over her when she couldn't remember why she wasn't in her own room and bed. Then the previous day's events came back to her. She stepped out of the moist cave and wiped the water droplets that stuck to her clothes while she slept. To her surprise, everyone was already up.

 

“Hey, breakfast is on the table, since you told us not to disturb you, you kind of missed dinner and stuff.” Cyborg didn't lift his head from his work.

 

“Oh goodie… more of the nauseating salad?” Raven looked over at the bowl of plants.

 

“Well, good thing I have this!” Beast Boy reached into his pocket and pulled out bags full of seeds.

 

“Great… now we're birds… and if this is supposed to be some kind of pun… I'll have to `peck' your face right off the bone.” Raven's eye twitched.

 

“No, no, I'm going to be a farmer!” Beast Boy suddenly appeared with farmer clothes.

 

“Uh…where'd you get that?”

 

“Starfire, she's been sewing and knitting since yesterday, turns out that we have a whole field of cotton plants outside and soon we'll have some carrots, tomatoes, potatoes and all those good stuff too!” Beast Boy ran out with his bags upon bags of seeds to start his planting.

 

“Uh… I feel like I've been asleep for a week, anything else I missed?”

 

“I'm working on starting to build an electricity generator, then I can start with those blenders and waffle irons!!” Cyborg continued to draw his blueprints on sand.

 

“I have cultured the fungus, you did not wish to consume Beast Boy's food, then you will eat mine yes?” Starfire handed Raven a dish of her infamous mix of sushi and ice cream tasting gelatin.

 

“I guess we're not completely normal after all…” Raven grumpily pushed the food away and gave her an annoyed look.

 

“Well, I'm going now.” Robin stood up from the couch and walked towards the exit. “Hey Raven, want to go training with me?”

 

“No…” Raven wearily looked at the plants and ate a few leaves.

 

“Are you sure? You don't have anything to do.”

 

“I'm sure…”

 

“Well, alright, bye then, I'll be back…whenever.” Robin waved and ran out of the cave.

 

About 3 hours passed and it was 9:32 AM. Raven sat on the couch staring at the sun and letting her pupils roast, having nothing better to do while Cyborg worked on his electricity generator and waffle iron. She finally stopped and rubbed her eyes; she looked down from the large hole and stared at Starfire pulling cotton puffs from the plants with twigs and Beast Boy digging holes with a home made shovel.

 

“Ugh, this is boring.”

 

“Well maybe you should have went training with Robin.” Cyborg said, never looking away from his work.

 

“I don't need to train, there aren't any vicious wild animals to fight or cities to save.” Raven laid back on the couch, hung her head over the back and stared at the entrance upside down.

 

“Fine.” Cyborg shrugged and continued to tinker with his creation. “Once I get this baby finished, we'll have waffles and then you can eat waffles all day long. Then you won't be bored!”

 

“Oh yay…waffles…” Raven lifted her head and hopped off the couch. “I'm going out…” Cyborg nodded and waved quickly, not wanting to miss one second of getting closer to finishing the waffle iron and electricity generator.

 

“I'll just go meditate by the waterfalls or something…” Raven rolled her eyes at the sun and lazily walked towards the falls.

 

She thought of Starfire making clothes and stopped. “That's kind of weird… how there's a cave that looks like the tower…. and then the efficient resources? Eh, it's just a coincidence… hold on what am I saying?” Indeed, she did change, not only her appearance and her powers but also her personality. Sure, she was still a gothic figure, but now something was different, she didn't even try to think about the situation thoroughly. Then there was also the thing with Beast Boy; she would have never feel sorry for him after she insulted him, what was going on? “Oh it's nothing.”

 

She approached the waterfalls and stared at the ice-cold water splashing down and mist sprinkling on an opening of a cave, her room. She found the flat rock next to the mountain and sat on it, closing her eyes and inhaling deeply. Raven cleared her mind and relaxed while listening to the sound of the calming falls.

 

Before Raven even knew it, many hours passed, either she dozed off or she didn't notice, she didn't know. She suddenly opened her eyes; the sun was already creeping down the horizon. It never attracted her attention, it was just the sunset but she was somehow stuck looking at it. She seemed to be in a trance, staring at its beauty. She shook her head and almost completely forgot what she was doing.

 

“I better get back…” Raven reached into the lake that the falls poured into and washed her face, why did she feel so tired? She took a while looking at her own reflection, the water rippling every time a drop of water fell from her face. She had never seen or even imagined herself with the peachy, normal skin she had now. She touched her face and gave herself a small grin.

 

“I guess it's not that bad…” Her reflection darkened, she turned around and saw the sky. How fast the sky turned from its golden colors to the dark sky adorned with gleaming stars. She breathed in the cool air and watched the tinkling stars, they were so many more and much clearer than in the cities. “Yeah…it'll be ok here…” She reassured herself and stood up to walk home.

 

“TAP” Raven heard footsteps other than her own; she turned around and saw the same men the titans encountered the other day. They had evil smiles on their face and advanced towards her. For the first time in a long time, she felt the full extent of fear. She breathed heavily and drew back, trying to hide herself, she knew she wouldn't be able to fight them empty handed and powerless.

 

“No use in running and hiding little birdie, we won't hurt you.” A dark looming voice called from behind the rock that Raven hid behind. A hand reached over her and almost grabbed her neck when she sprinted out and at a random direction, too blinded by fear to think of a plan or know which way to run. “Fly birdie fly.” The voice taunted when she was cornered to the side of the mountain. She frantically looked around for a rock or twig, anything to save her. With nothing; she turned around and tried to climb the wall.

 

She wanted to scream, scream her lungs out and possibly deafen the intruders, but she couldn't her voice was stuck at her throat. Raven reached for a stone to hold to, she was already out of the reach of the two. “What I'd do for my powers again…” She gulped and continued to clamber up the small mountain. She reached the flat top, pulling herself up and collapsing seconds later. “Phew…”

 

“Hi.” The same man was looking down at her with the same exact smile and boy was it creepy. She jumped a little, almost falling off the edge. The man took out a dagger and carved the outline of her face in the air; she looked down the side and saw his partner waiting for her. She lifted her fists pathetically as her knees shook.

 

“WHACK!” The tall man that stood before her fell to his knees, his head exploding to expose the circuits and metallic engine inside.

 

“Need help?”

 

“Robin?” The moonlight made Robin's face shine and the wind blew his cape; he looked like those superheroes perched on rooftops in comic books. Her savior, although a little corny and flashy with his costume, seemed to glow in the moonlight in her eyes. She could have given him a million dollars but then she realized how weak she looked. “W-What? I could have handled it.” Raven's voice shook, she looked away in embarrassment of how she useless she appeared before. She sighed with relief and wiped the sweat from her face when something grabbed her foot.

 

“AHH!!” The robot that Robin had crushed was still working, it pushed her and she tipped over the edge to her short fall. Robin tried to grab her but missed, he hung over the side and watched her fall. Just her luck, the wall she climbed was only about 15 feet high and she fell into the water, but the shallow water. Her head knocked against the rocks, blood flowed in the water.

 

The other robot dove into the water and coiled its arms around her neck and choked her more, not a very good thing to do while she was already suffocating from the water. The water splashed, her head pushed out over the surface only to be pushed back in her struggle with the robot. Finally, she rolled onto the surface and tried to pull the thing off of her. Robin jumped from the top and ran to help her but the broken robot shot from the water and crashed into him. She punched and kicked, but it didn't work, she had to admit, she wasn't very strong or powerful physically. She managed to pull the plastic skin and some wires from the robot but that didn't even phase it. Raven eventually passed out from her struggle for air, hearing metal crashing and screaming.

 

“Raven?” Robin's voice whispered. She opened her eyes, she was still by the waterfalls, she must have been out only for a few minutes. Robin was looking over her and still waving his hand in front of her face.

 

“Huh? Where are the robots?” Raven sat up and looked all around her, holding her throbbing head.

 

“They're right here, are you okay?” He showed the two broken piles of metal and asked while Raven thought to herself for a while.

 

“Robin, I think I'll take you up on that offer for training.” She finally spoke and got to her feet.

 

“Alright, but we'll need to patch those wounds up first.” Robin pointed at all of the wounds on her arms, neck, shoulder and head. She closed her eyes and wobbled around, he caught her by her arms and put one of them over his shoulder to support her. “Come on, let's go home.” Raven watched him give his usual goofy grin and walked with him back to the cave, thinking. Whoa…de ja vu…

 

 

OK, OK! I know, I took like 100 years to update and I know that this chapter was kind of corny and…soap opera-ish? Maybe I laid everything a little bit too strong? LOL well, w/e. Hope you liked it? Um.. R&R!
