Hello Everyone.

For those who have stuck by me through my story Apocalypse, I can't thank you enough for your reviews. However, as time went on all inspiration for that story went away so I decided to get rid of it. Now that I have found a new inspiration for another story I wish to share it with you. I hope you enjoy this new tale for which I surely hope to finish.

Enjoy.

She didn't know when it happened.

She didn't know how it happened.

All she knew was that with every passing night, every waking hour, the fearless bird that led them into battle, was no longer the bird she knew.

She could FEEL it.

It amazed her how her own teammates could turn a blind eye to the one that kept them united. But then she realized, the fearless leader was as meticulous in hiding the small changes that arose her suspicions as well as he planned and executed every tactic used in battle.

She surprised herself at times when she would catch herself staring at Robin's form for more than a few minutes at any given time. Of course the ice queen could make a witty retort to his suspicions…but it never happened. Robin remained a closed door. He ate silently. Lounged alone. Trained alone. Withdrew to his room more often than before.

He was beginning to make Raven feel like the more socially active teammate compared to him.

That annoyed her.

After almost 2 months of Robin playing the recluse of the team she had enough. She was going to confront him one way or another.

It was late in the evening. Raven had managed to turn in early on a hunch. Given her observation of the Boy Wonder something told her she would be able to catch him off guard in the middle of the night. Sure enough after rubbing her eyes from the sleep dust that had accumulated, Raven began her mantra, sending her soul self outwards. She sensed everyone asleep in their quarters except for the lonely bird.

She frowned.

She should have been able to sense him. She focused harder and still nothing. After about 10 minutes Raven opened her eyes.

Whatever training Robin had to hide his aura from psychics had paid off.

With some reluctance, Raven stepped off of her bed, phasing through the floor until she landed in the kitchen. She could hear the sounds of thunder in the distance and the sounds of small drops hitting the large panel windows. She sighed inwardly. She had always loved the rain and now when she could be drifting off to dreamland with the sounds of nature at it's finest she was stuck with satisfying her curiosity.

She was about to teleport to her room when she caught a glimpse of the Boy Wonder's form, standing out in front of the large panel window as lightning flashed, silhouetting his form.

The sight unnerved her. Just how long had he been there?

Raven took notice with each flash of lightning the Boy Wonder's features. He was dressed only in matching black sweatpants and a wifebeater. His muscles tensed with each flash of lightning before relaxing with the relapse into darkness. Raven could feel her blush creeping on her but managed to will it away.

She continued to stare at him before something startled her. A flash of lightning had illuminated the Boy Wonder's face, making him appear more sinister as the contrast between light and darkness was cast upon him. But what made her startle was that for a split second she saw a different face reflected on the glass. It had Robin's face but the reflection's hair was longer, as black as the night sky on a winter's night. It's eyes an unholy golden color with its pupils slit like that of a serpent. It was Robin and yet It wasn't him.

Raven pulled back into the kitchen her back against the wall. Her breathing had hitched slightly at the sight. That shocked her further. She didn't do fear. She was a Titan. Titans dealt with monsters on a weekly basis. Why had seeing her leader invoked such a reaction?

Raven calmed herself after a few breaths and peeked out from behind the wall. Lightning flashed once more but Robin was nowhere to be seen. Raven walked into the room sending her senses out to detect any remnant of the leader who had somehow vanished.

There was nothing. She only sensed herself.

Raven stood in silence watching the shadows bounce off of the furniture with every flash of light, frowning.

"…what is going on?"

She shook her head to clear her thoughts. She was tired and she needed rest. Raven scanned the room once more before taking the form of a black bird of shadow and flying through the ceiling to her quarters.

She failed to notice a pair of golden yellow eyes staring at her from the darkness.
