"Admit It, Raven"

A Teen Titans Fanfic

--

"So, what do you get when you cross a camera, milk, and butter?" Beast Boy joked, in the middle of his usual audience.

His team. It has been a year since Tokyo, and the Brotherhood of Evil. Starfire has grown to dislike Beast Boy's jokes more and more, realizing they were "lame", when before she had laughed not really understanding the joke. She had caught on to many humanly trends, and despite lots of coaxing, refusing to changed her clothes to a less revealing one, arguing her clothes were her own, and she would only resize them to fit her growing. Although she was beginning to develop a bit of an attitude, she was still as gentle and caring as ever.

Robin had softened up a lot in the relationship, and pleasure between him and her was becoming more abundant… and they were finding more ways to have pleasure the more time passed by.

Raven was beginning the show emotion, and a bit of humor. She had lately repeatedly tried to cast the demon part of her soul away, crying at night wanting to be normal and be able to feel love.

Cyborg was his same old self, still babying the T-Car, getting more upgrades for his Tower and for himself, constantly improving his ridiculous sense of humor, and pushing it to the max.

"Another lame joke?" Starfire said as quietly as she could, and Raven didn't even respond like she usually did.

Robin cleared his throat, and answered, "Cheese?". Beast Boy's ears drooped, and her sat over on the couch.

"My jokes still suck." He groaned, and held his head in his hands.

Raven closed her book, suddenly getting a strange look in her eyes. She stood up, attracting the attention of Cyborg and Starfire. The chair screeched and fell over as she got up, and she walked right to the couch, and sat beside Beast Boy, just staring at him.

The other 3 Titans just stared, not knowing what to think.

Raven just stared at him, as Beast Boy shifted his eyes to look at her, his head still drooping. She reached her hand over and ruffled his hair. He sat up, and rubbed the back of his head, trying to correct his hair, in surprise.

She smiled, and Beast Boy's expression showed a bit of confusion. "Uh, Raven, are you okay?" Robin asked from behind her.

The smile instantly disappeared, and she stood up quickly and looked over at her chair, as if she didn't even remember walking over. She turned quickly around surveying the room in shock, and rushed up the steps towards the hall.

"I need to meditate." She said, and rushed to her quarters.

The other four Titans gave blank stares at the doorway as it shut.

Raven wasn't meditating. She was sitting there on the side of her bed, staring at the floor between her feet, her eyes a bit bugged out. Her eyes were bugged out, and she was frowning. A shallow knock on the door attracted her attention, and she quickly turned her head nervously towards the door.

"Raven?" Beast Boy squeaked from the other side of the door. Hearing that, Raven pulled her hood down over her head, shadowing her eyes, but not stopping there. She began pulling as if she was trying to get the hood down to her feet, gritting her teeth.

She stopped, and she began breathing heavily. "Why am I feeling this way...?" she muttered, as Beast Boy asked from the other side of the doorway, "Are you okay, Raven?"

Raven yelled at the top of her voice, "Go away!"

Beast Boy's ears and eyes drooped, and he walked off slumping.

Raven hunched over, and put her head in her hands, and began quietly sobbing.
