Wake-up call

Chapter 1

"You may have created me but you were never my father. Fathers are kind; Father protects you, Father raise you. I was protected by the Monks of Azerath; I was raised by my friends. They are my family this is my home and you are not welcomed here. AZERATH METRON ZINTOIS!

Robin sighed as he looked out to horizon his usual morning cheerfulness was dampened by Raven. Raven had entered his thoughts more and more often after the events of Trigon. "What's wrong with you?" Raven voice filled the silent air. Robin smiled, 'Looking at the sun raise gives me sometime to think." "About the kiss you shared with Starfire?" Robin stared straight into the amethyst eyes, "No thinking about someone."

Raven listening to his voice felt a shiver go down her spine, "It's cold I'm going to head downstairs." Raven stared to get up but felt and hand grasp her wrist. Robin stood beside her leaning in toward her, "The only person I think about is you." Raven eyes went wide her heart beating wildly. Her eyes traveled his face and stopped at his mask her finger brushed the edge her long fingernails grasped a corner of the Robin's mask. Robin didn't stop her; she slowly started to peel it off. Beep, Beep! Robin stepped back and put he mask back properly on, "Trouble." Raven slowly followed, " The only trouble is what you do to my heart."

The Teen Titans reached to only see Plasmus, not really hard but not totally easy. Robin charged right at it but only to get himself cover in goop. Starfire lifted Cyborg into the air and twirled like a top and the let him go, Cyborg smashed into him. Beastboy morphed into a rhino and was only was to be hit and smashed into a building. Robin got up and leaped into the air and took out his Bo staff and put it in Plasmus, didn't last long Plasmus spit it up almost hitting Robin. Raven emotions flared, "All right you hurt my friends I take you out." Raven sat crossed legged and yelled, "AZERATH METRON ZINTOIS!" Raven dark power form of her flew out and headed straight at Plasmus. It went inside and after a few seconds exploded. The dark form went back into Raven.

The pain in the back of my head is worse. Raven flew down and smiled but her eyesight became blurry and felt her knees go week. Raven head hit the ground, "Raven!" Raven heard the Robin voice, "Robin my head something is wrong with my mind." Raven felt Robin face lean in making her heart beat faster. "It will be all right." Robin started to get up but Raven grabbed his wrist, "Don't leave me please." Robin looked into Raven frighten eyes and sat back down and stroked her hair, "Beastboy, Cyborg go get the T-car. Starfire go fly to the tower and make sure everything is ready for Raven." Cyborg and Beastboy nodded and Starfire flew towards the Tower. Robin turned to Raven only to have amethyst eyes looking straight at him. Raven eyes slipped shut but tears still fell. "Robin why do you do this to me." Raven eyes unfocused look straight at him, "I love you." Robin felt his heart skip a beat, "Raven." Raven eyes slowly opened, "Time may pass but I will always love you." Raven eyes closed she mumbled, "And I wish we more." Raven looked at Robin and kissed him she pulled back, "I love you and I know you love me too." Robin looked at Raven, "I do but it won't work. Maybe one day but not now." Then he heard the T-car behind them.

Raven opened her eyes only to see she was in Nevermore, "Why am I in Nevermore?" Raven felt a sharp pain in the back of her head. "Hey, The reason you're in Nevermore is because you're in a coma." Raven turned to see Knowledge sitting crossed legged floating. "You're mind is out of control right now. So that's why you felt the sharp pain in the back of your head." Raven sighed, "So I wake up in what a little while?" Knowledge stopped floating and landed on her feet, "No not until you talk to us, all of us." Raven looked into Knowledge's golden eyes and saw worry. Raven closed her eyes and summoned all her emotions. All her emotions held the same kind of worry, fear and uncertainty. "What are you guys not telling me?" Anger stepped up, "Well, you lost your powers. You want to know why? Stupid Robin." Raven looked straight at Anger and saw she was not joking, "How did I lose my powers. All my emotions are here and I still feel." Knowledge grabbed he wrist as she led her to pool her memory pool. Knowledge brushed her hand across the dark pool then memory appeared.

Robin rushed to Raven as she collapsed. "My head, there is something wrong with my mind." Robin looked at her, "It will be all right." Robin started to get up she grabbed his wrist, "Don't leave me, please." Robin quickly sat down as he stroked her hair and told orders to the other Titan's. When they left Raven started to cry, " Robin, Why do you do this to me?" Raven head turned to Robin. "I love you."

The memory faded, leaving Raven shocked. "What, is there more did I say anything else?" Knowledge shook her head, "It's too soon to show you when the time is right you will know and come back." Raven shook her head, "So how do I get my powers back?" "He must tell you how he feels in return, you can not force him he must come to tell you on his decision and choice." Raven felt her heart drop, "But he loves Starfire not me. I'm just a person who lives in the Shadows. I'm good friend he does not like meor love." Knowledge shook her head; "You must wake up now. Until you come back good-bye." Raven nodded, "AZERATH METRON ZINTOIS!"

Raven slowly opened her eyes, the pain in her head had stopped, "Finally." "Hey, you gave us quiet a scare when you collapsed." Raven eyes turned to the direction of the voice. Robin sitting in a chair looked like he hadn't slept in days. "How long have I been asleep?" Robing yawned, "3 days." Raven sat up, "3 days as in 72 hours?" Robin grinned, "Aren't we fast at math?" Raven groaned, "We don't have time for jokes. I have to talk to you." Robin shook his head, "Not now Raven, the other wanted to see you but they are all sleeping right now. Let's head to the main room." Raven got off the bed as she followed Robin to the main room.

Robin led Raven to the couch as he handed her a cup of herbal tea. "Raven do you remember what happened after you collapsed?" Raven looked at him wishing she could read his mind, "No I don't remember" You should tell him the truth, Raven pushed the thought away. "Why do you ask?" Robin shrugged his shoulders, "Just curious." Raven sipped her tea as silence surrounded the pair. After a little while Raven sighed, " What's wrong?" Raven looked at his mask and her hand brushed it and her hand once again took a corner. Robin didn't stop her she peeled it off. Robin one eye was green; forest green while the other eyes was ice blue. "Robin is that why you wear a mask?" Robin laughed, "Does it look that bad?" Raven shook her head, "It breath taking actually." Robin smiled as he leaned in, "You always take my breath away." Raven pushed him away, "Have you forgotten that you are going out with Starfire, my friend?" The lights turned on. Robin quickly grabbed his mask and put it on. "Robin?" He looked up to see Starfire smiling, "You are up early." Robin smiled as he kissed Starfire o the cheek. "Was just talking to Raven." Starfire smiled as she flew to Raven and gave her a bone-crushing hug. "Raven you are well!" "Yeah, Starfire. But I'm really tired. I'm going to go to sleep." Robin smiled to Starfire; " I'll be back down soon Star. I have to talk to Raven." Starfire smiled as she sat down of the couch.

"Raven?" Robin followed the dark Titan up down the hallway. "Robin, Just leave me alone!" Robin heard Raven crying. "Raven why are you crying?" Raven amethyst eyes looked at him, "Robin you do more damage to me than anyone else." Raven came to her door it opened, "Robin you don't know what you have caused me." "Raven," She shut the door. Raven laid on the bed, "Wake up call Robin. I love you."
