Comics: From what I understand, pretty much right after she left Azarath, she went to the Justice League for help to stop her father. They rejected her on Zatanna's advice as she had sensed the demonicness inside Raven. I find that a little odd as Jason Blood/Etrigan has been part of the Justice League. Maybe Zatanna felt that Raven's demonic-ness couldn't be controlled like Etrigan's and that Raven was evil or something. I guess it was just a misjudgement (hey, superheroes make mistakes too). Anyways, in desperation, Raven got the New Teen Titans together.

Show: Unknown. I theorize that she was kind of a wanderer trying to find people to help stop her father. She probably discovered each of the Titans in some way (in regards to Starfire, she probably had some precognition about her landing on Earth and realized she could help too) and then somehow manipulated each of the Titans into being there at that time, specifcally Robin and Beast Boy as Cyborg apparently already lived there. Possibly even manipulating Starfire to land specifically in Jump City once she escaped. And none of the other Titans would know about this; they would think that each individual just happened to be there by coincidence. Although that sort of manipulation may not be in her specific power set, I'm sure there's spells that she could've learned to help her do so. Then when she saw that they were all then gathered there, she had second thoughts and got nervous. I say this because in Go she even wanted to leave and not join the team at first. Then, long into the future, she would eventually work up the courage to tell the Titans about this. Either that or she told them about this when she was telling the Titans about her father in season 4's story arc; off screen of course.

As far as where she lived, I have similar theories to her as I do for Robin and Beast Boy (who were also likely wanderers after leaving Batman and the Doom Patrol respectively until they arrived in Jump City). They probably lived in the streets or perhaps people would occassionally let them stay with them as they were recognized (or at least Robin and Beast Boy were, as they already had heroic careers at the time). Another possibility in my theory is that, like Cyborg, Raven already lived in Jump City and she was just a loner from society, likely living in a place or places where as few people as possible would know her or even see her. Then she used powerful spells to manipulate the Titans from the city.

That's just my theory and I'm actually going to write about it in a fanfiction because I'm that much of a nerd. In reality, we don't really know anything, just that Raven happened to be in Jump City when the other to-be Titans were as well.
