The Day Things Went Wrong

After Trouble in Tokyo....
"Hello Tower!" Cyborg yelled.
"Robin, are we going to stay home this time?" Beast Boy asked, sick of being out of town.
"Yes Beast Boy. We're staying in Jump City." Robin answered while being dragged by Starfire into the ops room. Raven was the last one to come in.
Raven's POV:
"Robin! May we go lift the weights?" Starfire asked enthusiastically.
"You don't want to just relax Star? I was thinking we could all just get some pizza." Robin said.
"Oh. Well, that sounds the fun too! Friends would you like to get the pizza as Robin suggests?" Star asked everyone.
"Yeah! Some of that good old Jump Pizza!" Beast Boy yelled.
"Aw yeah! Let's get pepperoni!" Cyborg added.
"Sounds great." I said monotonously while giving a thumbs up.
"I call shotgun!" Beast Boy called.
"No way! I call shotgun!" Robin called and ran after Beast Boy.
"Yo! We're not going anywhere without a driver!" Cyborg chased after the two boys. I really wish we would just stay home. We just got home and they want to go back out again?
"Friend Raven do you not wish to partake in eating the round Italian food?" Star asked.
"Eh. I just wanted to stay home."
"Oh. I see." Realizing her sadness I figured I humor her and the boys.
"But I guess I could go out." I said as I put my book down on the counter.
"Joyous!" She said happily as she yanked my arm down the corridor.
We all piled into the car, Cyborg at the wheel, Robin riding shotgun looking satisfied with his position, and me, Beast Boy, and Starfire sitting in the back seat with Star in the middle, me behind Robin, and Beast Boy behind Cyborg looking frustrated. Probably because Robin got the passenger seat and he didn't. Cyborg started the car and we rolled out of the garage and hydroplaned across the water.
We're finally at the pizza place. We got out and piled into our regular table. They all bickered about what pizza to get. Beast Boy was fine with anything except meat, but Cyborg refused anything without meat. Robin wants an everything pizza, and Starfire wants mustard.
Eww.
"What about you Raven?" Robin asked.
"Yeah, you decide since none of us can pick one." Cyborg chimed in.
"Ugh. Fine. Let's get cheese." Believe it or not, I personally like pineapple. I like the sweetness. It calms me down. Though I've never told that to people. I usually just get it on my own time.
"Ok. I guess that works." Beast Boy agreed. The waiter came over and Robin ordered.
"Yeah hi. We want a large cheese pizza."
"Sure. Anything else?" I really wish he hadn't asked that, because they all blew up with extra stuff they wanted. Star wants a bowl of anchovies and mustard...gross. Beast Boy wants mixed veggies or something like that. Cyborg wants some chicken. Do they even sell that here? Regardless of weather they did this needs to stop. It's very aggravating.
"Alright that's enough!" I yelled. "Me and the masked kid will take a water, the green boy and the orange girl will take a lemonade, and the man with the red eye will take a coke." I said describing them all to the waiter trying not to insult them. None of them looked insulted, they just looked shocked.
"Uh, thanks Raven." Robin said after a long moment of silence.
"Umm, indeed! You know just exactly what we may want Raven!" Star said.
"Yeah. I'm just tired of your fighting." I said bluntly. Then things all slowly became less tense as they all chatted while we waited for the food that they needed a mediator to order. Lord what would they do without me.
That small outburst made my head all warm. I could feel the rage slowly coming up. I took a few deep breaths and calmed down. Just when the pizza got there though there was an explosion that came from down the street.
"Titans GO!" Robin yelled and we all jumped off the balcony down the street.
Are you kidding me!? I almost lost control of myself over that stupid pizza and drinks and we haven't gotten to eat it yet, and it was ON THE TABLE!! Grr. And of course it has to be the villain that aggravates me the most: Mumbo. Crap! His cheesy parlor magic infuriates me.
Ok. Calm down Raven. Relax. I felt a little more calm now.
"Mumbo. Robbing more banks are we?" Robin asked.
"Ahh! The Teen Titans! I had hoped you would come! I've got some news for you! Stopping me won't be as easy this time! Alacazam!" He said his corny magic words and he turned into a giant squid!! Beast Boy did too to make it even. How did he even do that?!
Mumbo fought Beast Boy whole Robin patty slapped him with his staff, Star shot a barrage of starbolts at Mumbo and Cyborg shot him with a bunch of missiles. All having little to no affect. I wanted to help, but for some reason moving was not an option. The more I watched the more rage induced I become. Just analyzing all of this stuff enrages me.
"Hey Raven! We could use a little help here!" Cyborg yelled as he was fending off one of Mumbo's giant tentacles. This snapped me out of my trancelike state and I was able to think clearly...sort of. I'm still angry. I put my fingers to my temples and concentrated hard on Mumbo's human version. Then he transformed back into a human. The others gawked at the fact that I had done this.
"Hey how did you do that?" Mumbo asked in awe.
"Wouldn't you like to know!" I yelled. He flung his tacky playing cards at me but I disintegrated them all before they reached me. Then I made a giant fist out of my dark energy and smashed him with it. When I lifted it Mumbo was gone.
"Where did that idiot go?!" I'm seething with Rage now. He showed up behind me and surrounded my with magic rings, which allowed him to control me and he flung me around like a rag doll. That, that was the last straw.
"I'm warning you. Don't come any closer to me." I warned him while on my knees.
"Or what?" He asked confidently.
"Have you heard of what I did to Dr Light?" I asked him.
"No I have not." He answered.
The others knew what I was going to do, but I couldn't control it.
"Raven don't!" Beast Boy called after morphing back into a human. But it was too late. My eyes doubled and shined red. I grew to be over 10 feet tall and my cloak was a void of darkness I pulled Mumbo into it. The only difference from last time is that, my hood fell off, revealing my demonic face. I never wanted anybody to see this face, let alone see my demonic state in general. The others gasped at my hideous sight.
My skin was red like my father's and my eyes turned from red to yellow as my hood fell. My hair was chalk white and I had horns sticking out from it. This was contrary to my angel like state after defeating my father, to which had taken control again.
"Raven stop!" The others yelled. I managed to take control and shrunk. When I did, Mumbo was nowhere to be found.
"Raven, where is the Mumbo?" Star asked.
"In-in here." I answered. I let him out of my cloak and his face was a pale blue. He was shivering and mumbling stuff about it being dark and cold.
"What was that Rave?" Cyborg asked. I didn't answer him directly though.
"Let's just get this idiot to jail and let's go home." I said.
"Not until you tell us what happened here." Realized they were all still backed away from me. I still look like a demon.
"Fine. I was angry that we didn't get to eat the pizza because of Mumbo. Mumbo makes me angry to start with. I don't know. It just built up my anger until, that happened." I pointed to to Mumbo. "I had no control. I lost almost all control. If I had lost all control Mumbo would be in the void right now. He got lucky."
"Why do you still look like...that?" Beast Boy asked reluctantly.
"I-I guess I'm still a little peeved."
"We should go back to the Tower and out you in the safe room. We will let you out when your back to normal." ...He did not just say that. Robin did not just say he wanted to keep me in the safe roomd until I'm back to normal. I don't even know when I will calm down! And this certainly isn't helping!
"You want me to what?!" I yelled. Going back into my enraged state slowly. The others started backing away from me except for Beast Boy.
"Calm down Raven. Robin just wants to keep you and other people safe."
"I can calm down by myself!" I yelled. That was a total lie. I obviously couldn't and I was getting very angry.
"Ahhh! Get away from me!" I yelled again. They all did as I commanded and they backed away from me. God my head hurt. I clutched my head. I felt Trigon's power and rage surging through me. I was letting off enormous amounts of energy. I was surrounded by my own darkness and magic. I heard Robin say,
"Sorry Raven." Then I heard a gun fire and something sharp pierce my arm. Then my powers stopped swirling around me and I felt the rage totally start to drain from within me. Everything went hazy and then I blacked out.
