The first thing I noticed about Titans Tower was how loud it was.
The second thing I noticed was her.
She was sitting alone near one of the giant windows, a book floating in front of her.
Actually floating.
Nobody else seemed concerned by this.
I decided they were all insane.
Beast Boy was hanging upside down from the ceiling.
Starfire was trying to teach Cyborg a Tamaranean dance.
And Raven—
Raven looked like she wanted absolutely nothing to do with any of them.
Interesting.
At least one person here appeared sane.
"That's Raven," Beast Boy said suddenly, somehow appearing beside me. "She's spooky."
"I heard that."
Neither of us had seen her move.
I frowned.
She didn't even look up from her book.
Later that evening, I found her in the library.
Of course.
Where else would she be?
I was looking for a book on strategy.
She was sitting cross-legged on a couch, reading.
The room was quiet.
Peaceful.
For the first time all day.
I grabbed my book and sat on the opposite side of the room.
Silence.
Perfect.
Then Raven spoke.
Without looking up.
