Disclaimer: I do not own the Teen Titans.

On to the story!

Chapter One: Dinner Anyone?

Raven looked around her room uncertainly. She hoped no one was watching her. She was about to try a new spell and didn't want anyone to see her if she failed. She closed her eyes and reached out for the others thoughts, just to make sure no one was near her. She opened her eyes. "Good," she thought. Robin was in the training room, Beast Boy and Cyborg were playing video games, and Starfire and Terra were watching them.

She breathed deeply, regaining her concentration as she said the magic words. "Astiria Judion fe Milar," she whispered, holding out her right hand with the palm up. A fiery, red orb, slightly smaller than a tennis ball, appeared there, glowing brightly.

Raven smiled inwardly. After days of trying, she had finally mastered the complex spell. She closed her fingers over the orb, causing it to disappear instantly. Opening her hand again, she chanted the words only in her head. To her satisfaction, the orb reappeared.

"Good," Raven thought once again. Suddenly there was someone pounding on her door. Annoyed, she walked over to it, waiting for her caller to identify his or her self. If it was Beast Boy or Star, then she would ignore them and hope they went away.

"Raven, you there?" It was Robin's voice. She sighed and opened her door, but only because she knew if he had a reason to be at her door then he wasn't going to leave. Robin grinned at her as the door slid open, revealing his dazzling smile. He didn't show it but he was relieved that she hadn't blown him halfway across the tower for disturbing her like she had done to Beast Boy the last time he had disturbed her meditation.

"Were you meditating?" he asked her curiously.

"No," Raven answered.

"Ok, good. Well none of us have seen you come out of your room lately, not even to eat. I just wondered, we're gonna order some takeout. Do you want anything? We haven't even decided where we are gonna order from yet," Robin said.

"Fine," she responded, walking past him down the hall and shutting her door on the way by. He ran to catch up with her, staying in step with her down the rest of the hall. Raven rolled her eyes at his immaturity while he smirked at her annoyance. She stopped suddenly with him still trying to stay right beside her. Robin hadn't expected this and was so surprised that he tripped. Trying to walk fast and stop suddenly at the same time didn't work out too well. It was Raven's turn to smirk.

"Nice job, Boy Wonder," she said, the ghost of a smile playing at her lips. He glared at her, and she simply tossed her hair in indifference and flew past him into the living room.

"Burgers," yelled Cyborg.

"Chinese," Beast Boy screamed back

They're faces were inched apart, but neither boy seemed to notice. Terra was trying to hold Beast Boy back as Starfire attempted to restrain Cyborg. They all looked up as they suddenly realized that the gothic introvert had entered their presence.

"Oh, Friend Raven! We are all most delighted to see you out of your place of dwelling! We have all missed you while you locked yourself in the dark confinements of your room!" Starfire squealed in glee.

"Umm…Ok," Raven answered uncertainly.

"Hey Rae," Cyborg greeted her.

"Hi Raven," Terra said.

"Dude, it's been like a week since you came out of your room! You haven't even eaten! Anyway, I'm surprised Robin got you out. Why didn't you come when we called?" Beast Boy asked in way of greeting. Raven saw Robin walk in just as Beast Boy said his name, but no one else noticed. She pretended not to as well.

"Beast Boy, I've only been in my room for three days, not a week. Anyway, I only came out when he knocked because I had finished what I was doing. It was purely coincidence," Raven responded vaguely.

"And just what were you doing?" Terra asked warily.

"Is it any of your business?" Raven shot at her, possibly more harshly than necessary.

"Well, I…uh…I mean…um," Terra nervously mumbled. Raven sighed and when she next spoke her voice was monotone once more.

"You honestly want to know what I was doing?" Raven questioned. When Terra nodded quickly, Raven sighed again.

"This," she replied as she reached out her palm, conjuring the fiery orb once more. Starfire clapped her hands giddily at her friend's new trick. Cyborg, Beast Boy, and Terra eyes the ball in fear while Robin simply stood unnoticed in the doorway. She closed her fingers, extinguishing the orb and releasing her fellow titans from the state of trancelike fear the orb had apparently put them in.

"Since when can you do that?" Robin asked, surprising all the titans but Raven, who knew he was there.

"Since right before you knocked on my door, but you already knew that. You've been standing there listening the whole time," she replied coldly. She walked into the kitchen and pulled out a kettle which she proceeded to fill with water and set it to boil. Then she walked over to the pantry and pulled the ingredients she used for herbal tea out of her section of the pantry, not caring that her teammates were still staring at her in morbid fascination and astonishment. They had never thought about the extent of her powers, never realized that she could do anything besides manipulate the black masses of energy that they usually associated with her.

Raven paused in the pantry. She had two choices: herbal tea or hot chocolate. She sighed and decided to make her usual herbal tea. She added the ingredients to the water that was now boiling and put the lid on the kettle to let the flavor sink in. A few minutes later she sat at the table with a cup of tea. After she drained the cup, Raven closed her eyes and attempted to relax. She was so deep in thought that she didn't notice when a certain masked titan sat down next to her.

"Are you alright, Raven?" he asked her, concerned. He scared her so badly that the light right above the table shattered and fell. Her eyes snapped open quickly.

"I'm fine," she answered like every other time any of them asked that question. He sighed, shook his head, and walked over to the couch where the others had continued to argue about what to do for dinner. He was about to suggest that they all leave the tower and go to separate restaurants, when he heard Raven's voice right beside him. He hadn't noticed that she too had come over there.

"Look," she said, her voice dangerously calm as the others froze, "tell me what you each want, and I'll cook for a change. And no Beast Boy, I am not going to poison you," she added, answering his unspoken question. He grinned nervously before telling her what he wanted and then jumped over the couch and resumed playing video games. Cyborg, Starfire, and Terra followed suit. Robin gave his order and then followed her into the kitchen, asking if she wanted help.

"I think I can handle it, Robin," Raven replied, using her powers to start all the meals at once.

"I'll make your food," he offered good-naturedly. She turned away but he still saw the smile that graced her features. That surprised him. She was usually so emotionless, and that was the second time in an hour that he had seen her smile.

"Unless you work at the Dark Corner Café, I highly doubt that you will be making my dinner," she responded.

"You're eating out? Then why are you cooking for us?" Robin asked, puzzled.

"Because sometimes I can be a nice person, Wonder Boy. I'd have thought that I'd saved your skin enough for you to realize that by now," she said in her usual monotone voice. He shrugged his shoulders and walked out behind her as she levitated the plates of food to the table.

"Tell them it's ready," Raven ordered Robin. And with that she flew straight through the front door, heading, as she had said, to the Dark Corner Café.

So, do you like it so far? As I said earlier, this is my first fic ever so please go easy on me. I've kinda got the next few chapters ready if you want them so tell me if you want me to continue this fic or start a new one or what. Even though I have the next couple chapters in my head this is an open ended fic. I know that I want this to be a Rae/Rob fic so any suggestions would be helpful. Thanx!
