The moon shined brightly in the night sky. It was peaceful and the sky was clear. Thousands of stars were in view. Today was the day Raven thought to herself. She had no other choice, she had to leave. As she walked out of the tower, she began the war with herself. With one foot out the door and the other still inside, she debated turning around, waking her friends up, and telling them of her departure. But the other part of her knew that her resolve would crumble if she saw her friends beg for her to stay, especially him. She couldn't see him no matter what. She thought long and hard before she finally walked out the tower. She hadn't taken more than three steps when she heard him.

"Going somewhere?"

She didn't have to turn. She couldn't, she didn't want to face him.

"Yes, I'm leaving."

"Rae, please…Don't do this" Her heart began to pound at the sound of her nickname.

"I have too."

"Why? If I did something than tell me and I'll apologize. Please you don't have to leave."

She knew what she had to do; this is why she wanted to leave while they were sleeping. She couldn't take much more of this. Soon she would turn around and bury her face in his chest, telling all of her true feelings; all her wants and all her desires. She felt electricity run through her body at the feeling of his hand gently holding hers. While the touch was gentle, the resolve was strong. He wasn't going to let her leave. That's when he said it.

"Raven, I love you, I will always love you no matter what happens. Please stay with me."

All her emotions threaten to flow out. She wanted to obey their commands. Stay with him! Be happy! Obey! Stay! Don't go! But she knew couldn't. Their relationship was doomed. She swallowed down her emotions.

"I never loved you Beast Boy. I thought I could try to love but in the end it's impossible to love an immature fool." God, how she hated use those words. It was the exact opposite of what she felt but it was the only way for him to let her go. Sure he might hate her and curse her existence but at least he'll be safe. Who knows maybe after a few years he will forget all about her and this moment. She knew she hurt him, she knew that the lie worked. Beast Boy let go of her hand and she could hear him struggle to keep the tears back. She wanted to hold him, to tell him she was sorry and that she loved him as well. She wanted to feel his lips on her once again. But she didn't, as soon as Beast Boy hand left hers, she started walking again.

"Goodbye Garfield"

*Beep* *Beep*

Raven groaned in annoyance. Her mediation was interrupted by a continuous beeping. She tried to clear her head of that memory that still haunted her. That was two years ago. Raven, now 18, removed herself from the lotus position and landed on the ground. Her black leotard was gone, now replaced with a long black dress with cuts on both sides revealing her legs. Her short bob was gone as well and her hair now flowed freely past her shoulders. She did keep one thing from her past, her cloak, the source of the beeping. Raven didn't know why she didn't just leave it at the tower. Perhaps she wanted some piece of memory of the good times she had at the Titans' tower. It stopped beeping after a year ago. I guess the Titans finally gave up looking for her, or so she thought. It was strange that it was beeping now. Curious, She flipped open the transmitter. It frizzled a bit before a recognizable face came into view.

"Long time no see Rae, didn't actually expect you to answer"

Raven felt a smile begin to form on lips, she had miss this cheery voice.

"Cyborg, Its been awhile hasn't it?"

"That's a major understatement." Cyborg chuckled.

Cyborg hasn't changed a bit as far as Raven could tell. His face was still the same and she couldn't see his body in the screen.

"And to what do I owe this unexpected phone call?"

Cyborg stared at Raven for a moment, his face instantly serious.

"We need you to come back to the tower Raven"

"You do? What for? Can't the all mighty Teen Titans take care of any foe? Surely you don't need the help of a ex member." Raven said sarcastically.

Cyborg shook his head. "No it has to be you. After all this, enemy is more close to you than anyone else."

Raven appeared puzzle for a second before realization set in. No, he couldn't mean… Could he?

"Don' tell me…"

"Yes."

Trigon was back.
