Oh, great, now she was grateful to her. This was going to take a while to live down. Still, she did offer a rare smile in return.
"Oh, I know. Believe me." It wasn't exactly, as she'd often noted, like she was normal either. There was a practical side to it, too--if she could at least somewhat make friends with them, they probably wouldn't have another Terra situation.

Rogue nodded, thoughtful.
"So you say you're part of some sort of group?" she prompted. "Are they all... like you? I mean, like me. Like... different."

"Yes, I am. We're the Teen Titans, excuse the name. As for that, well, different is...a good way of putting it," she answered with a faint smile.
"We've all got different abilities. Robin has his martial arts, Beast Boy can change into animals at will, Starfire is an alien who shoots energy blasts and flies, and I am, of course, myself." She shrugged. It was a motley crew, but it'd do.

Rogue's eyes widened. She was forgetting, just a little, to be cool.
"Wow," she said. "I'd rather have any of those powers than mine."

It didn't bother Raven. If she could put up with Beast Boy, then she could handle anyone not acting cool.
"They have been known to come in handy," she admitted fairly drily. "But if life's taught me anything, it's to make the best of what you have...though, I have heard occasionally of people who have managed to change powers."

Rogue sat up very straight at that. She'd gone very quiet.
"I'd rather not have 'em at all," she said, keeping the tremble from her voice only by force of will. "But that doesn't seem to be possible. If I could trade... if I could do something that wasn't just to hurt people..."

Well, damn it. It had happened. Raven was officially feeling very sorry for Rogue right now. She was like...almost like Terra, but that wasn't enough. There was just a sort of wounded innocence in her voice.
She sighed heavily, and, yes, let a smile touch her face, trying to console the other woman. "Look...I'm sorry if I've upset you. Not that I am one to say this often, but maybe this glooy atmosphere isn't helping. Do you want to, um..." (she forced herself to say it) "go out and get...a pizza, or something?"

Rogue looked up, feeling a little guilty now that she'd made Raven feel sorry for her. She could read it in her face, in her invitation. Like many teenagers, Rogue craved that kind of attention--but was just self-aware enough to recognize it for what it was when she got it. She forced herself to smile, and beyond that, to try to shake off her thoughts.
"I'd like that," she said. "If you really mean it. I mean, you shouldn't feel obligated--I'm gonna be just fine."
