I'd like to give a quick thank you for checking out my first fan fic. I don't see myself as a writer but I'd like to give this a go. I don't have a plan for uploads so we'll see how well you guys review the chapter and perhaps I'll make this a full time thing. Let me know what you think and thanks again.

Chapter 1 - Beautiful Creatures

While life hasn't changed much since the whole end of the world sage had concluded. The tower deffinatly had a warm fuzzy feeling about with in Raven's point of view, not that she'd ever admit that out loud to anyone. With her father's prophecy broken realisation slowly hit her. She had her entire life ahead of her. Not just the sixteen years she planned on. Something's take a while to sink in. This was one of those things.

While her routine changes were minimal her attitude was the biggest change. Before doomsday hit there wasn't much to smile about knowing you were going to be the sole reason for over seven billion people losing their lives. Though then saving said seven billion is something to put a smile on most people's face. Raven began to... well, express genuine happiness rather than bottle it way much to delight of her teammates. Each morning she found something new to smile about. The warm taste of tea or a fluffy blanket on a cold night.

Speaking of which that's what she found out she enjoyed recently. While she wanted to spend as much time as she could with her friends, she found that finding new hobbies is also important. Tonight's entertainment happens to be enjoying a movie in the common room with tea a blanket and the quite rain pouring outside.

As the credits began to roll a certain green changeling decided to stroll into her quite movie night. Not something she expected at one am in the morning. "Umm, is that you Raven?"

"No. It's the other girl with purple hair." A light smirk appeared on her lips. 'Teasing Beast Boy will never get old' she thought to herself.

"Ha.ha. I'll have to remember that one when I need a lame joke" Beast Boy replied as he walked over to the kitchen intended on getting his glass of water he originally set out to get.

"You know you're just asking me to point out that all of your jokes are lame right?" Sometimes he makes it too easy.

"You know I'm hilarious Rae. You just don't want to admit it. What are you doing up so late anyway?" He asked walking over to the U shaped couch.

"Yea that's definitely the reason Beast Boy. I just finished watching a movie. I'll be heading back to my room in a moment".

Beast Boy put down his glass before jumping over the back of the couch landing next to Raven. "Since when did you watch movies? Thought you were a book person and all".

"Beast Boy just because I enjoy litterature doesn't mean I can't enjoy a film. Ever since we stopped my father from taking over the world I've noticed my powers don't have as big of a control over me like they use to when Trigon was alive. Since then I've been expressing my emotions more and more. I can feel them relax in a way. I'm hoping that if I work at it enough that maybe I won't have to restrain myself when it comes to showing them".

"I've noticed that lately. Never seen you smile so much Rae Rae". Even now in the late moon light her smile seemed to lighten up the room.

"That doesn't mean I've suddenly changed my name though, Garfield".

"You're never gonna let that go are you." His ears drooped a little at the use of his embarrassing first name.

"Nnnoope. Like I said. I'm gonna get a lot of milage outta that one". A smirk returned to her face in full view of the changeling. Even if he was at the butt of her teasing, it was worth it to see her smile. Something he won't complain about no matter how embarrassed he felt.

"Whatca watching anyway?" He asked reading the list of cast members scroll up and away not recognising any of the actors involved.

"Beautiful Creatures."

"You say that like I should know what it is Rae"

"-Ven. I thought you watched good movies?"

"We clearly have different understandings of the meaning 'good'."

"You don't even want me to start on why your deffinition of 'good' is horrible. To save you the trouble how about I just tell you about the movie?"

"If you insist, not like I'm gonna watch it anyway so don't worry about spoiling anything"

"Since you couldn't comprehend this movie in full I'll give it too you short. There's this boy who is dreaming about a girl who eventually starts attending his school. She's got-"

"Wait wait wait... He dreamt this girl to life?!?" 'This is suddenly an interesting plot'

"No you dolt, he's been having visions of this girl who turns out to be real and starts to attend the same school as him." 'Suddenly not so interesting'

"Oh let me guess. They fall in love and their families disapprove and start a war with each other and the day is saved by the two turning into vampires and declaring their undying love for each other and live happily ever after. Bwaahh. I think I'm gonna hurl.." Beast Boy stuck a finger in his mouth pretending to throw up behind the couch.

"Why do I bother"? Raven asks herself beginning to shut off the television that's now concluded the credits. "Her name is Lena. She's a 'Caster'. A person born with magical powers that runs in her family but she's not sure if she's born to be good or evil. Her mother is out to get Ethan, the boy who dreamt of Lena in the beginning." While Raven attempted to explain the plot she looked over to find Beast Boy pretending to be asleep. "If you're not going to listen to me I'm not gonna bother. Good night Beast Boy." Holding her blanket Raven began to walk towards her room eager to sleep the frustration away.

"Raven wait! I'm sorry. I don't know why I acted that way really. I asked a serious question, I didn't treat you with respect... Am I forgiven?" At this point Beast Boy was behind Raven looking genuinely sorry.

"Atleast you're serious about apologizing, maybe next time you should just listen when you're spoken to." Still annoyed at the boy Raven began to walk off.

"What if I made it up to you in some way?" 'I could really regret owing Raven a favour.. maybe that wasn't such a smart thing to say... Stupid Beast Boy.' He thought to himself.

'It's obvious he's annoyed at himself' Raven thought to herself. She didn't need empathic abilities to see that. 'I guess I'll let him off this time'. "I'll keep that in mind. Consider yourself forgiven. Good night Beast Boy.

'Well that's better than her being angry at me I guess'. "Well goodnight Ra-"

There's no worse time to hear the alarm go off than the moment you're about to sleep.

"Seriously?" They both think to themselves out loud.

"Argh come on. What is it with villains not caring about beauty sleep?" Beast Boy asked as he slowly made his way back to the meeting point of an alert by the couch.

Right on cue the common room doors opened up revealing the Titan leader who seemed almost taken back that Beast Boy and Raven had already began checking the emergency. 'Raven I can understand being up but not Beast Boy... This can wait'. Robin made himself a mental note to ask about that later. "Beast Boy, Raven. Who is it this time?"

"We're not sure. No one got a chance to identify the theif. Whoever it is is at the modern art's museum. Where's Cyborg and Starfire?" The three began to quickly make their way to the garage.

"Already at the T car. Since you two are already up get a head start and fly there. We'll be right behind you. Be careful." With that Robin took a different route towards the garage. Ready to face the unknown threat.

And that is the first chapter of 'Cats, Birds and Hunters'. I'd just like to say that while in happy with this chapter I'm sure there was a lot of areas I could have improved. I also don't have a proof reader so if you're interested... Let me know.
