The tale of two birds
"Hey." Raven said casually, staring at her leader in the eye. Robin looked away from his magazine.
"Oh, hi Rae" he remarked in an uninterested tone. Raven swallowed hard. This was gonna be hard to break.
"I'm quitting" she said hurriedly, "in a week's notice".
Robin's eye widened. He stared at his female teammate in shock. Her unreadable amethyst eyes returned his stare calmly, expressionless as ever. "W…Why? Is something wrong? "
Robin had no idea why she would suddenly want to leave. Wasn't she perfectly happy here? Her request was totally shocking, especially since Robin had contemplated on asking her out tonight. He always thought she looked really nice, and recently he thought she was hot.
Raven looked mildly surprised. "No. Everything is fine… great. I thought I talked about this before." She pondered for a moment. "Then again, maybe I forgot. Anyway I'm telling you now. I thought you should know."
"But… Rae. What are we gonna do without you?" What am I gonna do without you, he mentally added. "I mean… how are we gonna fill your position? Not everyone has superpowers, you know. C'mon Rae. You don't really want to do this do you?"
"Look." She sighed, "You're making this a lot harder than it should be. I'm leaving and I totally mean it. Anyway you have a week to find someone to fill my post." Raven turned to avoid his eyes. "Oh, and try not to let the others know yet." She added softly as she left, "In case they all react like you."
Robin decided not to question Raven further. He knew how stubborn she could be, and forcing her to answer his questions would be nearly suicidal. Images of him being thrown out of the window and crash landing on the rocks below looked rather unappealing. I know something is wrong, he thought, And if she isn't going to tell me, I'll just have to find out myself.
Robin observed her throughout training. She seemed normal enough. A little distracted, but then again she always had a lot on her mind. She meditated, threw rocks at targets and did not complain whatsoever. Unlike a certain green friend who went hysterical when asked to run 10 kilometers. "In HUMAN form, Beast Boy." Robin added, "You'll thank me for this one day. A little training wouldn't kill you."
He did not see her at lunch. He never really bothered to know if she ate lunch at all, actually.
But recently he had been really concerned of what Raven did, especially since that morning. Finally he gave up. I'm gonna ask her now. Even if it kills me.
Robin approached the door carefully. This is silly. Cut it out man! She's your teammate and you're her leader. Why are you so afraid of her? He scolded himself mentally and knocked on the door. Slowly, the metal door opened by a crack……
