Teen Titans: Mind Games ( BBxRae)

Chapter 22: Bad events

Afternoon was striking and Luke isn't home yet. The trio were growing bored as usual and everything wasn't going really well productive. As much as Raven wanted to look for Robin aand the others, she couldn't do anything. With Luke going to school everyday, it's much difficult to have communications with this dimension. She was still clueless with places, although she managed to make herself familiar with some places.

"Where was Luke's school?" Raven asked Beast boy who sloppily sat on the couch as always.

"I don't know. Yancy Academy? Something like that." the green boy replied.

"...I'll look for Luke. You stay here with Zoe. Don't do anything stupid." Raven said as before exiting the apartment. Beast boy nodded as Zoe played cheerfully at the corner.

"What? You're leaving me with this kid?!" Beast boy exclaimed as he stood up from the couch.

Raven glared at Beast boy without a blink which made Beast boy subdued from the couch. Raven exited the room silently as Beast boy grunts in frustration. Raven didn't at least care of Beast boy's interests or whatnot, what's important right now is to look for the Titans. There must be a way out.

Raven had put on her casual clothes, a white with a robot printed on it and straight cut jeans with a pair of black sneakers. Raven at least has managed to do some laundry thrice a a week, thanks to Luke. The Titans back at the tower would do laundry for once in a month.

Shuffling down the streets, she has gotten used if walking instead of levitating while stuck in this dimension for 1 week. Thinking that they only have one day left, Raven felt her head about to collapse.

How will she ever find the others?

Raven had looked for schools with a name Yancy but finding none. Where is that school anyway?

Stumbling in a huge place with a tall clock tower, she was distracted with the vintage concept of it. Looking through the side, a name was carved on it, Yancy Academy.

This is it, Raven wondered. It's already 6, why won't he come home? By the gate, she spotted a group of boys skipping loudly; probably four or five.

Raven managed to tell that they talked about her for a second as the group of boys turned their gaze on her. Raven felt getting insecured for a moment but lets down the thought. She didn't care anyway. Her purple eyes met their's, leaving them with chills.

"Hey." Raven called out. The group of nosy boys have snapped their heads in unison, "Do you guys know where Luke Smith is?"

The group of boys exchanged glances before replying, "I heard he went to a party at Bryan's house."

"Where?" Raven asked dryly.

The boys seemed a bit distracted with the purple haired teen's clothes and very slim body. Raven felt impatient as they started moving their eyes away from her's.

"Answer my question." she demanded.

The boys stuttered as they managed to get back with her question.

A boy with ruffled curls replied, "Three blocks away from the school." he said as he pointed to his right. 

Raven made a mental note to herself and started shuffling away from their sight. The boys froze for a minute as they exchanged glances once more. They had never seen such a peculiar lady before.

A creepy gothic lady.

Raven had started moving as she tried to move into the direction where the group of students pointed. It was a quiet street - no cars and no civillians, but a loud music blared from a distance. Raven didn't doubt that it was the party they were talking about.
