That Someone Is You
'Azarath, Metrion. Zinthos.' Raven's body levitated higher and higher.
'Azarath, Metrion, Zinthos.' Darkess caressed her body; growing at an alarming rate.
'Azarath, Metrion, Zin…' A knock on the door prevented her from concentrating any further.
'Um…' came a voice from outside.
Raven kept her eyes tightly shut, not intending to be disturbed by Beast Boy's 'knock-on-Raven's-door' ritual.
'Look, Beast Boy, I'm not in the mood for…'
'It's me…Robin.'
Her eyes flew open in shock, 'Robin?' Gracefully lowering herself on solid ground, Raven made her way towards the door. She placed her hand upon the lock, but hesitated, 'What do you want?'
Robin wasn't expecting the wall to reply but the sound of her voice was good enough, 'Um…are you okay?'
Raven lifted her hand off the lock, 'Yes. Why wouldn't I be?'
Sensing a faint edge in her monotone, Wonder Boy knew that if he didn't get to the point real fast, their conversation would be over real soon, and he didn't want that to happen… he liked talking to Raven.
'It's just that you seem really distracted lately…' he paused as if waiting for an objection, but none came so he continued, 'and I understand if it's to do with your father and everything, I just wanted you to know that you can talk to me and I know how hard it is to let go, especially when you've been fighting him for so long, but I'm here for you Raven. I always have been and I always will be.'
Complete silence filled the space between the two titans for what seemed like eternity before the door finally opened to reveal a defeated Raven. As she took a step forward her hood fell and her troubled eyes saw through the white mask to meet his concerned gaze.
Sadly there moment lasted but a split second when she turned away, 'I'm sorry for making you worry Robin, it's just that…it's just that…' she wasn't sure whether to tell him, but her doubts were swept away when a green glove gently guided her to face him. 'You can trust me Raven.'
A warm fuzziness in her chest urged her to go on, 'It's just that lately I've been feeling like something's mi…'
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!
Raven wanted so badly to continue, unfortunately the call of duty wouldn't allow it as Robin's hand retreated to his communicator. 'Cyborg, what's the problem?'
'There's a disturbance downtown and it looks like Cinderblock's escaped!'
'I'm on it.' Without a second thought Robin was gone.
Raven replaced her hood, her attempt to 'open up' had been rudely interrupted by flashes of red.
'Lately I've been feeling like something's…missing.'
