Raven had walked out of Stephanie’s room after singing with her. She looked down and blushed to herself as she began walking. Who knew I could sing? Raven thought. She turned the corner and gasped in surprise, her eyes widening.
“B-Beast Boy?” Raven stuttered. “Starfire? Robin, Cyborg?”
“Hey, Rae!” Beast Boy smiled, waving awkwardly. Raven just stared, glancing at each Titan in shock.
“Did… Did you…?” Raven trailed off.
“Hear you sing?” Cyborg asked. “Yeah. That’s why we were standin’ out here.”
“You sounded glorious!” Starfire said, giving Raven a smile while floating and clapping.
“Guys, I-I’m not that good…” Raven insisted. “Stephanie just needed help with a song and I… recognized the song so I sang with her. I-I’ve never sung before, but I figured I’d help…” Raven trailed off again as her voice got lower and she started blushing again.
“But you liked singing, didn’t you, Rae?” Beast Boy said. Raven glanced sideways, half annoyed.
“Come on, Raven, it’s not that bad.” Robin said, smiling with the others.
“Like you’ve ever sang before.” Raven rolled her eyes.
“Actually I have.” Robin admitted. “Just not in front of people…”
“Plus, Rae, I’ve even heard Starfire, Cyborg, and Beast Boy sing before,” Stephanie popped up behind Raven, scaring her and the team. Raven turned, facing Stephanie in shock. “Never once heard you sing.”
“Because I don’t.” Raven answered, crossing her arms.
“It can’t be bad to sing every once in a while, right?” Stephanie asked, walking closer to Raven. “It eases stress and sets you free, in a different world.”
“Well, if that’s singing to you, then I’ve already got a solution.” Raven smirked. “Meditation can send my mind into another world. I lived in another world! So technically, my ‘music’ is different from yours, but it still eases stress and pain,” She began walking to her own room, uncrossing her arms, leaving her friends gawking at her, realizing she was right.
