Disclaimer: I do not own Teen Titans
Hello! So this is my first fanfic that I'm posting and I'm hoping it won't turn into a cliché mess! I've read sooooo many fanfictions that I was inspired to write one. Lots of the things in here are inspired by tons of other stories I've read. I like the idea of writing a story that takes place after or during events that actually happened on the show. This story takes place after "The End" episodes. Anyways, here you go!
Chapter 1:
Beast Boy tossed in his bed. He couldn't sleep. It was odd because normally he would have slept peacefully. They had just defeated Trigon. His mind should have been at ease with the thought of just defeating one of the nastiest villains ever. But he just couldn't sleep. For some reason his mind only replayed the worst moments of their time fighting Trigon. Like when Raven was first taken by her father. When he saw the world destroyed. When he saw Trigon and thought to himself "This is it. We're not going to survive. We're going to die today." When he realized that he never officially got to say goodbye to Raven when she agreed to go with her father. He couldn't imagine what his life would be like without Raven. There would be no one to make fun of him. Well, yeah there would, but there would be no one who could mock him the way Raven did. No one who would slap him when he said stupid stuff. He would miss her if she was gone.
He couldn't take it anymore. He had to get these thoughts out of his head. He sat up and looked at the clock. 5:48 A.M. Great. He had slept just fine until he suddenly woke up at 3:57. He figured he would fall asleep again eventually, and just let his thoughts wander. That eventually led to him thinking about the horrible events that occurred that day. Now sitting up, he figured he might as well start the day. He got out of bed and stretched, then thought about what he could do at 5 AM. He lazily walked over to his dresser and put on a fresh uniform. He slept in his uniform anyway, but every morning he still changed into a new one. He looked out the window and saw that the sun was already coming up. Looking at the clock again, which now said 6 AM, he decided he should go eat breakfast.
Beast Boy walked into the common room and went to the fridge. He was too lazy to cook any tofu right now, so he just grabbed the orange juice and poured himself a glass. He gulped it down in several minutes. As he put the glass in the sink, he thought of what he should do. He walked over to the TV and decided some single player video games would be good practice for later. Most likely he and Cyborg would be arguing about who was better at the game later that day.
As he turned the game on he was startled by the loud noise that came from the TV.
"Gah! Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!"
Now fully awake, he frantically looked for the mute button. He found it later than he had hoped he would, but was able to shut the volume off before he woke up everyone in the Tower.
"Phew," he exhaled a sigh of relief.
He began playing the game, single player. After several rounds, he stretched and looked at the clock. Suddenly it was 10 AM.
"Wow time flies" Beast Boy said to himself.
Soon the doors to the common room opened and in walked Robin, rubbing his eyes. He noticed Beast Boy already there, turning off the TV.
"Morning Beast Boy" he said tiredly. He was still half asleep, so he didn't even notice that Beast Boy was up before him.
"Morning."
Robin soon exited the room with a bowl of cereal. The doors closed then opened again and in walked Cyborg and Starfire.
"Good morning Beast Boy!" Starfire said happily.
"Morning BB." said Cyborg.
"Hey guys." Beast Boy said as he sat back down on the couch, stretching his arms out and leaning back.
"Beast Boy, have you seen Raven?" Starfire questioned.
"Not today. Why?"
"Because earlier I went to the roof but she was not there! She's normally meditating in the early morning."
"I don't know, Star."
"Why don't you check her room?" Cyborg said as he took out a pan and some bacon from the fridge.
"Ok. I shall see." and with that Starfire flew out of the room.
Raven tossed in her bed. She couldn't sleep. It was odd because normally she would have slept peacefully. They had just defeated Trigon. Her mind should have been at ease with the thought of just defeating one of the nastiest villains ever. But she just couldn't sleep. For some reason her mind only replayed the worst moments of their time fighting Trigon. Like when she was first taken by her father. When she saw the world destroyed. When she realized that she never officially got to say goodbye to her friends when she agreed to go with her father. She couldn't imagine what her life would be like without her friends. There would be no one who understood her the way Robin did. No one to tease her the way Cyborg did. No one to smile at her the way Starfire did when she agreed to do "the hanging out". No one to annoy her yet still make her laugh on the inside the way Beast Boy did. She would miss them if they were gone.
She had slept just fine until she was woken up by a sudden noise from the common room. She was too lazy to go check it out. If it was anything major the alarm would go off, plus another Titan could have heard it and be scoping it out now. She tried to focus on sleep, which eventually worked for she fell asleep again and didn't wake up for a few more hours.
She was woken again by the sound of knocking on her door. She got out of bed and grabbed her cloak. She opened the door and found Starfire looking slightly concerned.
"Hi Starfire. Something wrong?"
The girl's face brightened and she smiled once she saw that her friend was well.
"Hello Raven! And how are you feeling on this glorious morning?"
On a normal day Raven would've been annoyed at this seemingly pointless visit. But she remembered what had happened the day before. She almost lost her friends. They almost lost her. Why should she be annoyed at her friend who was merely checking up on her? She decided to let it slide, this time.
"Good. How about you?"
"Oh I am feeling most glorious this morning!" she squealed.
"Good. Is there a reason why you're knocking on my door so early in the morning?"
Starfire tilted her head with a confused look on her face.
"Early? But, it is ten o'clock!"
"What?!"
Raven ran over to her alarm clock next to her bed. 10:04 AM.
"Wow time flies" Raven said to herself. She walked back to Starfire who was still standing in her doorway.
"I came to see that you were ok. I didn't see you meditating this morning so I was concerned that there was something wrong."
"Well nothing is wrong. Come on let's get some breakfast."
The two girls flew back to the common room. Raven expected to find Cyborg and Beast Boy arguing over which was better; meat or tofu. But to her surprise, she walked into a completely quiet common room.
"Morning Raven" Cyborg said while flipping some pancakes on a pan.
"Morning Raven" Beast Boy said, still lying lazily on the couch.
She gave them both a questioning look.
"Morning?" She sat down on the couch next to Beast Boy, staring at him with a confused look until she finally spoke up.
"What? You guys aren't fighting over whether tofu or meat is better? And you called me Raven. Is Rae old now?"
"I don't know. I'm just really tired. We had a kinda busy day yesterday." He chuckled lightly. Raven rolled her eyes and smiled.
"I'm just glad it's over with."
"You can say that again" Cyborg spoke up. He also looked exhausted, his eyes drooping a little. Robin walked back into the common room, looking like a zombie with a cape and mask. He put his empty bowl in the sink, then joined Raven and Beast Boy on the couch.
"Dude you look horrible!" Beast Boy said.
"Gee thanks Beast Boy." said the exhausted teenage boy.
"Sorry. You know what I mean. You look like you're about to collapse from exhaustion."
"I think I might"
"I second that" Cyborg said plopping down next to Robin on the couch.
"My friends, I am confused, why do you all look so distraught?" Starfire said, with concern filling her normally cheery voice.
"Don't worry Star we're fine. It's just that battling a demon who took over the world doesn't leave you with much energy" said a sarcastic Beast Boy.
They were all practically asleep, except for Starfire, who somehow got a good night's sleep. She shrugged her shoulders and began leaving the common room.
"If you need me I shall be in my room. May I suggest you all reside in your own sleeping quarters as well?" But it was too late, because when she turned to look back at them, they were all sound asleep. Starfire sighed, thinking it would be a quiet day, and went to her room.
So this chapter kinda didn't go anywhere with the plot. But don't worry, things are gonna pick up next chapter. This chapter sorta just gives you an idea of what just happened and stuff. Anyways thanks for reading and please review!
