Here's the sequel. Like I promised, I'd update faster and it won't be as repititive as the first part.

Starfire and Raven arrived at the front door of the tower. Starfire placed her free hand on a scanner. The thick metalic doors opened and Starfire pulled Raven inside. Raven gazed at the lobby of the Titan tower. It had changed. There were couches along the walls. She felt Starfire pull her towards the door. The door opened and Raven saw the titan living room. It was basically the same as the old living room. There was no division between the kitchen and the living room, however there was a dining table near the kitchen counter top.
Starfire pulled Raven into the titan living room. Raven could see the circular black leather couch facing the gigantic television. She saw at the black coffee table.
"Come on... let me show you around." Starfire said, excitement could be heard in her voice. She then dragged Raven out of the living room and headed for the basement. "The garage is over here..." Starfire said as she led Raven into a darkly lit room. Starfire snapped her fingers and the lights turned on. Raven saw the many technological advances had made. She saw the Titan space ship was bigger than the one Cyborg built. She could also see the hover bikes and cars. "We keep extras just in case the others get destroyed." Starfire explained.
"I see..." Raven stated with the usual monotone in her voice. Starfire pulled Raven out of the garage.
"And the medical lab.." Starfire was interrputed by Raven.
"Is on the bottom floor." Raven stated. She saw the look of shock that Starfire was giving her. "I took you there remember?" Raven reminded Starfire of the incident that happened.
"Oh yeah.." Starfire said. Raven smiled at Starfire. "I thought I was dreaming." Starfire told Raven.
"Dreaming?" Raven asked. The monotone was replaced by curiosity.
"Well 3,500 years did pass... I thought you were dead." Starfire answered Raven. Raven nodded her head at Starfire in understanding. Starfire then dragged Raven to the titan gym. The two entered the gym. Raven stared at the gym with curiosity.
"Is it a basket ball court?" Raven asked. She didn't see any hoops, only a big empty floor.
"It can be..." Starfire said.
"Ok... what is it then? What kind of court is this?" Raven asked.
"Well..." Starfire then pulled Raven. The two approached what seemed to be a control console. "You see you can just press whatever court you want..." Starfire demonstrated as she pressed a button. "and it'll appear." the once wooden floor of the gym divided. A grassy floor came up and took it's place. Two goal post on opposite sides appeared.
"I see... what other courts are programmed on it?" Raven asked.
"There's basketball, football, voleyball, and other courts in here." Starfire explained. Raven nodded at Starfire. Starfire then pressed another button and the soccer feild disappeared and was replaced by the wooden floors. "Let's go to the weight room." Starfire pulled Raven out of the Titan gym.
The two rode the titan elevator up one floor. Starfire continued to hold Raven's hand as she pulled Raven into the work out room. Raven saw the equiptment. There were digital dumbells, treadmills, and many other high tech equiptment. The two then exited the weight room and Starfire showed Raven their game room. It was filled with many arcades. Starfire continued to show Raven around the tower.
"Where is the training grounds?" Raven asked.
"It's outside..." Starfire replied. "do you want to see it?" Starfire asked Raven. Raven shook her head no.
"I'll see it tomorow when you and the titans train." Raven said. "What time do you train?"
"Around 6 in the morning." Starfire answered. "After that, we usually eat breakfast. That's around 9 maybe 9:30." Starfire informed Raven.
"I see... want to head back to the living room?" Raven asked Starfire. Starfire nooded and she felt Raven pulling on her. This time, Raven led her to the living room. Raven continued to lead Starfire towards the couch. The two then sat down, their hands still interlocked with one another's. Seconds after they sat down, the titans entered the room, the angels trailing behind them.
"Just leave us there why don't you?" Light told Starfire.
"They needed sometime alone." Alkaline stated. She was trying to justify the fact that Starfire didn't even bother to tell them she was leaving.
"I wonder why..." Light said as she wiggled her eyes brows suggestively. She gave Starfire a naughty look.
Starfire didn't miss the look Light was giving her. She looked at Light, her cheeks were tinted pink. Her green eyes trailed down and she saw that Light was still holding Alkaline's hand. She raised her eyebrow at Light. Light followed Starfire's eyes. Light quickly blushed. Alkaline looked at Light and saw the taller girl blushing. The two aproached Starfire and Raven. Light plopped down on the couch, dragging Alkaline down with her.
Nightingale kept her distance from her team mates. She didn't want to get anywhere near Starfire. She could see Starfire's hand still intertwined with Raven's. It hurt her so to see the woman she was in love with being affectionate to someone else.
Hetea led Gevea to the couch. She sat next to Raven. Raven turned her head and looked at her mentors. She then turned her head towards Renseia.
"3,500 years... why didn't you tell me?" Raven asked her mentors.
"Tell you what?" asked Hetea.
"Don't play dumb with me..." Raven said the monotone in her voice was not there. Instead there was a hint of annoyance there."Why didn't you tell me that you're angels?" asked Raven, her tone changed from harsh to hurt .
"We needed to earn your trust." stated Gevea.
"We apologize for our deceit but it was necessary." Renseia stated as she walked over to Raven. Raven was still holding hands with Starfire.
"You were in on it too?" Raven asked and received a small nod from Renseia. Raven remained silent. She felt Starfire's hand tighten around hers. She looked at Starfire and saw the concern in her eyes. She then looked away and gazed at the three angels. "If Trigon hadn't come, would you have told me?" Raven asked Renseia and her mentors.
"Eventually..." all three answered simultaneously.
"Why go through all this? Why all the secrets?" Raven asked. She locked eyes with Renseia.
"We needed to know which path you would take." Renseia stated.
"So this was a test?" Raven asked in disbelief.
"Yes." Gevea stated.
"We're sorry for not telling you anything." Hetea stated.
Raven turned away from the three angels. She bowed her head and kept her gaze on the ground. 'They were testing me... after everything that happened. All my talks with Renseia. I poured my heart out to her. And my mentors! I called them my family for god's sake!' Raven thought in her head.
Starfire could see the situation was troubling Raven's mind. Starfire began to feel Raven loosening her grip on Starfire's hand. Starfire acted quickly and held Raven's hand tight before the other girl could let go. Raven turned her head slightly at Starfire. She could tell that Starfire was really worried about her. However, Raven wanted to leave. She felt like she needed to get away from the angels.
"Raven please say something." Gevea pleaded with Raven. Raven's head shot up and her eyes started to glow red. Her hand gripped Starfire's tightly.
"What do you want me to say?" Raven asked, her voice sounding so lost and angry. "I can't deal with this now." Raven stated. Raven teleported herself away from the angels, forgetting that Starfire was still holding her hand.
