The four titans stared at Raven, stunned. Everyone except for Best Boy, who was smiling like he knew some big secret.

"Oh, I know exactly what's going on here..." He moved his index finger up and down, pointing it at her. "I told you I wanted you to forget and you're pretending you really forgot to teach me a lesson." He started to clap in a slow rhythm. "Well played, Rae, well played. But you're not gonna fool this guy."

Raven glared at him, but at the same time, there was doubt in her eyes. "What are you talking about? I really have no idea-"

"Don't try to trick me." He said, angrier this time. "I don't need you to teach me anything, I've already told you, I'm sorry."

Raven stared at him, without a word.

"Still, I do not understand..." Starfire held her hands on her chest, worried. "Friend Raven, what is the last thing you remember?"

"I... Was at the temple with Azarath's monks. We were meditating and... I ended up here. I thought it was a part of the exercise..."

The Azarath's monks were the ones who actually raised Raven. It was there where she learned how to meditate and control her powers, as well as fighting against her demoniac father's influence, Trigon.

"Oh man..." Cyborg slapped his own forehead, while he read Raven's brain waves, on his machine screen.

"Cyborg...?" Robin raised an eyebrow; and his friend shook his head.

"Man, man, no... Raven's brain waves usually are complex, because of all her training and life experience. But now, they're way too simple."

"Wait... How much time did she lose?"

The half-robot sighed. "More than 10 years..."

"WHAT?!" They shouted at the same time. Beast Boy erased the smile of his face and actually began to get worried as well. If what Cyborg said was true, they had a big trouble in front of them.

"This can't be right..." The green boy covered his face with his hands. "Duude, this can't be right..."

"Is it serious?"

Hearing those words, they looked at their owner, who was still sitting on the bed. "I mean... Did I really forget you? What am I? Who are you?"

Beast Boy was looking at her, thinking about how bad that actually was; but as soon as he came back to his senses, he noticed his friends looking at him, crossing their arms, like he needed to do something. Robin looked at Raven and then at him, quickly.

He started to rub the back of his neck and look at the opposite direction; but Starfire kicked his butt and he was forced to took a step towards Raven.

He looked back at them. Someone had to tell Raven what she lost. And seeing he was the chosen one to do the job, since he had said those things against her earlier, he sighed and put a hand on her shoulder.

"Listen, uh... I'm just gonna explain your... Life, ok? Heck, ok... You're a teen titan, part of our team of... Heroes. We protect the city against really bad villains and... Let's say Not-So-Bad ones. We met a few years ago." He gestured to Cyborg. "This is Cyborg, but I call him Cyb. He suffered an accident and had his lost body parts replaced by robotic ones. He's fun and was the one who came up with our whole cool tech stuff." At this point, Cyborg smiled from ear to ear and gave a thumb up. "This is Starfire. She is the alien that brought us together. She's kind, but can really kick a butt when needed." Starfire closed her eyes and smiled, waving at her. "This head hog here is Robin. He's like our leader; and he's a great one. We can always count on him. All I know is that he lived with that guy, Batman, for a while and learned how to fight."

Robin's eyes formed a thin line as he lowered his head and did the quote marks with his fingers. "'That guy, Batman' actually raised me."

"Dude, you never talk about yourself, that's not my fault." He interrupted Robin. "AND I'm Beast Boy. When I was a kid, I got sick, and my parents, who were scientists, came up with a injection to cure me. But that changed my DNA in a really weird way and now I can turn into any animal species on earth.

"Well... And you... You can do those cool stuff with force fields and meditation. But mostly, you're our friend." He smiled, sadly. "And you mean a lot to us."

She stared at him. Then, after a while, she raised an eyebrow. "You're not like... My boyfriend, right?"

"What?!" He waved his hands in front of her in denial. "No, no, I'm not..." Suddenly, he stopped and realized something. "Waait... What's that supposed to mean?!"

"I guess it's time to show Raven the house huh?" Cyborg interrupted them, putting both hands on Raven's shoulders. "Can you walk?"

She nodded silently and stood up, with Cyborg's help. Then, he guided her, slowly, to the exit door and down the hallways.
