Chapter 1: Homecoming

Disclaimer:Anything you recognize in here isn't mine, especially the Titans.

To the readers: Sorry for the wait, life's been Hell for the past little while. You guys all rock so hard; thanks for the reviews! Since you asked for more, it's here! And now, without further ado, Alone 2!

Raven sighed. Two months. Just two months since I got back and everyone's done their best to forget what happened. She paused thoughtfully. Well, almost everyone. Starfire had benn giving her mixed signals about the whole thing, alternating between furtive glances and avoiding Raven like the plague to giving her books on tammeranean culture 'in case she's interested'.

Raven allowed herself a small smile. The topic of her interest had come up only once since she'd returned. Predictably, it had come from Robin.

She was sitting in the living room with a book when Robin came in for a cup of coffee. After taking a swig, he sighed happily. Taking a seat on a stool he glanced speculatively at the absorbed woman. He cleared his throat. "Raven, while we're the only ones around I wanted to ask you something." Not looking away from her pages, she shrugged. "What?" Robin cleared his throat again. "Well, when we found you with Blackfire it didn't seem like you were trying very hard to detain her."

Raven didn't even look up from her book. "She hadn't done anything wrong." "Exscuse me?" Robin looked at her in disbelief. "We are talking the same Blackfire that framed her sister for the theft of a priceless gem and attempted to take the throne of Tamerran, right?"

Raven sighed and closed her book to look at him, marking her place with a finger. "Will it make you feel better if I told you I looked in her head? She was clean."

"Oh." Robin mulled this over for a moment in his head. "I guess that's that then."

And Robin had left the whole mess alone ever since.

The overhead lightbulb popped as Raven realized that she was holding one of Starfire's books. Courtship Rituals for Tamerranian Royalty. She blushed slightly. She would give me this one. Lucky for me Robin didn't ask what I was reading. Maybe I'd better keep to my room when reading in the future. Keeping the title hidden with her cloak she headed to her room.

Chapter 1! Again, sorry for taking so long, I've been kinda in a funk; but since so many of you wanted I figured you'd better get your sequel. I'm feeling kinda rusty, so send me a review and either bolster my ego or make me work harder!
