She sat with her bare pale legs hanging off the roof. She gazed with bored violet eyes at the immensely star covered abyss. She was all alone accompanied only by the sound of waves crashing loudly against the rocks many stories below. Everything was dark, the tower, the seas. And the city. No lights but for the moon and the stars. She seemed to be at total peace with her self at the moment.

At least that's what most people would think, or nearly everybody. Everybody but for one person. A person who could tell by the way Raven Roth was rubbing her own hands that…….she truly wanted company.

That person stood on the other side of the door to the roof. He was about to go out and look up at the stars himself but when he opened the door his robotic eye picked up the heat reading of the darker member of their group. Quickly noticing that she didn't notice him, he decided to retreat to collect himself.

'Why does she torture herself?' The Cyborg of the group asked himself, staring at the young woman he had developed strong emotions for, over the years they had been teamed together.

At first he had simply passed it off as nothing more than a silly infatuation. 'Heck I had one of Star too when she first joined the Titans, but I could never imagine anything but a friendship with her. The fact that my best friends likes her has plenty to do with that.'

Raven hadn't moved an inch and it didn't seem like she would be any time soon either.

'I don't know why I'm attracted to her. She rarely acknowledges me and when she does its only to scold me with one sarcastic remark after another.'

'With the exception of her help with the T-Car, there's virtually nothing between us.'

He sighed feeling defeated as doubt filled his mind.

'No matter how much she puts me down, I cant simply leave her be. There's something in her eyes that remind me of myself a few years back. A little after my father passed and a few months before Robin found me.'

Cyborg slid down the wall to a sitting position.

'That hell I survived through in Metropolis was nearly unbearable. I was a cyborg freak who stuck out far more than a sore thumb. Not one person thought of me more than some robot. But did I not have a soul, did I not feel hurt with their cruel words.'

'The one time I tried to ever lean on my fathers shoulder, he crumbled and died on me. Gladly abandoning the freak he had created.'

'I was so god damn lonely.'

Cyborg some how manage to smile bitterly as he sat.

'I remember when I first joined this team. I was moody and always angry about something. But then you finally got fed up with it and scolded me telling me we all have our problems, get over yourself.'

'That's when I realized I had found a family of misfits to call my own.'

His forehead creased as he focused his robotic eye on the problem at hand.

'But even though were a family, she treats most of us like distance relatives. She acts as if she wants be alone but I can see through that acting quite easily. Those eyes they beg for somebody to be with and talk to. But why does she always push everybody away?'

'Nobody should punish themselves like that. Especially not for so long.' With that thought Cyborg stood up off his butt and seemed to stand still for a moment to ask himself if he could do this, this was the dark goddess after all.

Cyborg slowly opened the door wide, walking torward the object of his attention. More than a little surprised that Raven hadn't detected him yet.

"Hey Rae." Cyborg greeted as he stood behind her.

Ravens whole demeanor seemed to deflate once she noticed someone else was on the roof with her.

"What do you want?" She asked with a little aggravation to her voice.

It struck Cyborg hard that she didn't even want his company but he had grown used to her words toward the members of the group she deemed far too immature for her taste.

"Your not the only one who likes to star gaze. I grew up in Metropolis if you didn"t know."

"I should care why?" She replied back, still seeming to be a bit angry.

"Oh, its just that in Metropolis it was so bright only about twenty stars could be seen at any time of the year. After I joined this team and moved out here I really enjoyed looking at all the stars I didn't get to see with two eyes." Cyborg explained.

"This is nothing compared to the night sky of Azarath. From Azarath you couldn't miss a single star." Raven whispered completely out of character. More to herself then to Cyborg.

Cyborgs forehead creased. "Azarath. What's that?" He asked.

Raven thought to herself. Still not looking at Cyborg but rather the barely visible waves. 'I've already told him too much. Why did I even tell him anything? Why didn't he just stargaze on the other side of the roof.'

"I would rather be alone so why don't you go look at the stars elsewhere?" Raven droned.

'You see there you go again, pushing away the people that are suppose to be your friends.'

'Shut up happy! You already understand why.'

'I swear! Why do I have to be your emotion? You kill joy.'

Raven was about to reply to herself but was interrupted by a large body plopping down right next to her. Causing her to look at Cyborg for the first time since he had approached her.

Cyborg clamped his hands together as he looked up to the sky. "you know since there were basically no stars in Metropolis, my mother set up a starry sky simulation in the lab. So every few weeks she would take me to it and tell me about all the different constellations and stuff." Cyborg explained as he examined the night sky.

"But nothing can ever compare to the real thing." Cyborg added in a whisper.

Raven studied the Cyborg sitting next to her with no real expression.

'This isn't the Cyborg I've come to understand. He isn't throwing a temper tantrum or goofing around like usual, but rather acting like someone, I've never met before.' Raven observed.

'Well you never exactly gave him a chance. Your always brushing everybody to the side before you get to know them.' Happy said.

'Will you shut up and just let her think? Your really starting to tick me off, always trying to get her attention.' Anger said before tackling happy.

Raven tore her gaze form Cyborg and again returned it to the waves, so far below.

"Azarath was where I was born and raised then eventually, banished from." Raven explained, startling Cyborg.

Being a rather smart person, Cyborg decided to skip over the banishment part.

"So could everybody do the cool magic thing there?"

Raven smiled a little at the compliment.

"As I am now, is as strong as most would get." Raven answered still holding back a lot of details.

"Are you from earth or another planet like Star?" Cyborg asked with his full attention on Raven.

"You could say I'm from earth or another planet but you would be wrong."

Cyborgs forehead creased. "Your not going to answer any of my questions are you?" He asked before joining her gaze of the waves.

"Did I ever say I would?" She asked back.

'I knew it couldn't be that easy.' Cyborg thought exasperatedly to himself.

"So basically your not form here yet not from another planet and also everyone has magical powers at this Azarath."

"That about sums it up."

"Is everybody void of emotions there or something because if everybody's like you than that has to be one depressing place." Cyborg exclaimed frustrated.

Raven didn't know why but it felt like Cyborg had just taken a dagger to her chest.

"No, not everybody." Raven replied, trying to maintain her usual monotone.

Cyborg noticed the difference.

"Oh, I'm sorry Rae. I still have some problems with controlling my temper every so often." Cyborg explained.

Cyborg turned to see she didn't even seem to hear him. So as gently as he could he grabbed Ravens shoulder and turn her to face him. Raven eyed him uneasily, not being used to such bodily contact.

"Look Rae I'm sorry. It was wrong for me to use the opportunity to prod into your past like that." Cyborg explained apologizing again as he released his hold on Raven.

"Its just your homeland, Azarath makes me think of all the fairytales my mother told me as a kid." Cyborg confessed as he rubbed the back of his head with a smile. Feeling he had already done enough damage he began to rise form the ground but before he could, a timid hand latched onto his, pulling him back down.

Cyborg looked at Raven in shock.

Raven wouldn't meet his eyes but instead focused once again on the waves.

"Azarath was everything but me." Raven finally said after much debate in her head.

"It's a floating city, high off the ground. Sorta like the capital of my home. Everything was painted with bright exuberant colors, mainly white." Raven paused to let Cyborg catch up with all she was saying. He nodded his head to signal he caught it.

"The only thing of Azarath that I can still remember vividly is the night sky. Since we used no artificial lights and fires were extinguished around eleven, the stars shown brighter than they ever could from this view." Raven explained.

Raven went silent supposing that was enough.

'See I told you talking to people would make you feel better.' Happy exclaimed loudly with a black eye.

'I thought I told you to shut up all ready." Anger yelled as she leap after happy.'

"You think I could go there?" Cyborg asked without thinking.

"How could you if I can't?" Raven asked grimly.

Cyborgs eye shot open wide.

"Oh I'm sorry Rae. I wasn't thinking."

"Evidently so." Raven said as they sat in silence.

Raven a glance at Cyborg, who was now frowning sadly to himself.

'Why is he so sad over me?'

'Why does he even care?'

"So your mother used to show you constellations right?"

"Yea."

"Well Azarath had it own constellations. Want to talk about them?" Raven asked with a rare encouraging smile gracing her face.

They talked for hours until both laid silent on the roof. Both would eventually fall asleep and then wake up to find themselves tangled up in each other.

SiscoKid: Whats rather funny about this story is, I started it a couple of nights ago on my computer. Then I ended it by candlelight the other night, after the power went out at my house and at plenty of other places in St. Louis.

If anybody didn't catch onto this in the story I shall explain now. The city that I can not remember the name to, was it go or jump or something. But what ever. The entire city is experiencing a power outage for one reason or another. Its yours to guess. Anyway the next chapter comes whenever. Later!
