Chapter One: Starting Over

Raven stared at the tattered billboard and sighed. This was what she was reduced to; seeking shelter from total strangers. 'Then again,' she thought, 'that's what the Teen Titans had been when we first met'. Total strangers, that had offered her friendship, a place to stay, and to some extent, love. Love, she thought to herself. Love had been the reason that the Teen Titans were no more. Love was the reason that she found herself alone. Starfire and Robin decided to marry young and return to the alien's planet to rule over the Tameranian nation. Cyborg was drafted as a technical engineer for the Justice League. And Beast Boy…

She closed her eyes, as if to keep the memories away. She swore she would never let them hurt, but one thought would repeat itself inside of her head. How could she, the cold-hearted, emotionless demoness, be betrayed? As if on cue, the scenes would flash before her eyes, one lie after another…

Some years before…

All was well at the Titan Tower. There had been no serious threats for months, the prophecy of Trigon had been stopped, and Terra was freed of her stone prison. Everyone was getting ready to leave, exchanging teary eyed goodbyes and reminiscing about past victories. Everyone, except Raven, that is. When her friends had tried to get her to join in, she always declined, saying that she had some apartment searching to do.

Each and every time she said it she would smile though, showing a bit of excitement. It was going to be her and Beast Boy's first apartment together. Her and her somewhat boyfriend. She still hadn't figured that part out yet, but she had planned out most of their entire lives. So she figured that had to count for something. They would get a large loft in the uptown part of Jump City, close enough to watch over things, but far enough to have freedom. Raven smiled inwardly. Never had she thought about things in such a "We" fashion before. 'Kinda… refreshing,' she thought as she walked to Beast Boy's room, 'Who knows? Maybe we'll even follow Robin and Starfire's example'.

She turned crimson as the images of her and the changeling running after two toddlers, both infants toppling with laughter at their parent's determination. She was brought back to reality as she reached Beast Boy's door. The demoness lifted her hand to knock, only to be answered by loud moan. 'A female moan…,'thought Raven. She shut her eyes, hopeful that her assumption was wrong. She turned the door knob only to see the truth…

The Present…

Raven gulped down the knot that had plagued her throat. Every time, it was the same. She'd think about him and the next thing she knew, she was seeing it. Feeling it. Living the ordeal all over again. 'Never mind that. He's gone. They're all gone. All you have is yourself now,' she thought bitterly. She had never felt as sure about college as she had right then. This is where she needed to be. Not somewhere catering to some man's ego.

Once again she scanned the cork board. All of the good offers were taken. She felt as if she had lost all hope when a piece of pink paper caught her eye. She began to rip at the other old ads that were covering it. Finally, she pulled the parchment out, finding it to be intact. She gasped when she read what was in print…
