Secret agent Jenny is writing this for you at 1 in the morning, or three for the east coast (Sorry, don't know my Time Zones) She must complete this before she passes out…. Really… Tired.

Disclaimer: I own nothing…yet. ;)

The song "Missing" (Evenscene) inspired this. So it's the song for this story.

'I was there for her, and I always would be.'

Raven's POV

I sat in my room. Alone. I've always liked being alone… that's what separates me from the rest of the team. Usually they bother me, but not today. Today, I am completely alone. I can live the quiet life for the next six hours, until they return.

Starfire had suggested it, she did not understand that I needed to be alone, only that she needed a new wardrobe, Robin went with her, as did Beastboy and Cyborg. I opted not to go. They did not understand. They did not understand how my powers had been changing, and how it had been harder and harder to control. All they understood was that I was not shopping with them, not that I'd be missed.

Beastboy thought he understood, he had once asked me "Rae… are you afraid?" at the time I had scoffed, "ME? AFRAID? Beastboy, I don't DO fear." I had sounded so sure of myself then, if only I could find that confidence now. When I looked inside myself, all I saw was darkness and fear, fear of being wrong, fear of being right, and fear of…. Being ALONE?!?!

BeastBoy's POV

"YO! RAE! WE'RE BACK!"

"Joy." Rae looked down in the dumps, I knew it, she was afraid… but of what?


"Rae, you're afraid, don't lie to me. I must know… why are you afraid?"

"What are you doing in my room?" Rae didn't look up from her book.

"What are you doin' avoidin' my question?" I asked. "Rae… what's wrong?"

She looked up, and I saw that she was crying. I didn't know quite what to do, so I did what came naturally, I opened my arms up to her. She accepted the hug. We stood there for several minutes, the warm, wet tears falling from her eyes slid down the back of my shirt, but I didn't mind, I was there for her, and I always would be. Finally, she let go of me and told me everything. She told me she was losing control of her powers, she didn't know what to do, and she was afraid. Then, she went back to hugging me again, crying on my shoulder.

"Uhhhhhh… is this a bad time?" Cyborg. He always walks in at the strangest of moments. He looked confused, then comforting when he saw Rae's face. "Ya know what, Raven, Beastie, forget I even came in." Rae smiled, and I could tell she was tired.

"Go to sleep Rae."

Raven lay down on her bed, and as, I turned around to go, she said "Thank you." Then she turned me around, planted a kiss on my lips, and closed her eyes.

I was there for her, and I always would be.
