Life is Never Easy

A/N Hell hath frozen over children; I'm back with a shiny Sequel to Comfort in the Arms of Darkness!

Raise your hands, who here thought this would happen?

Sees no hands raised

Neither did I, but my Muse told me to get cracking, after all, Teen Titans has been canceled, so Fan fiction is the only way for TT lovers to get their fix, I decided to come back.

I may have to pull out and go to third person this time though, last was a Romance centric story, this will have romance, but it would be harder to convey my story just through first person.

Oh, and if the last one was AU, it goes without saying that this one is huh?

Chapter 1- Just another Tuesday

---------------------------------------

Robin woke to the sound of laughter by his door.

He quickly grabbed his mask and put it on

He identified the laughter as Raven's, the truth was, she had a very pleasant laugh, and she had not been shy about letting it out in the last month since Beastboy and her had defeated Trigon.

She would wear normal clothes every now and then too, and she had become even more adept with her powers as well, now that she could control, and have, emotion without Trigon causing trouble.

It seemed like all the titans were much happier since that incident.

Raven was learning hand to hand combat from Robin, even though she didn't really need it, and she was getting pretty good too, she got Robin to sweat a couple times.

Robin got out of the bed and changed into his uniform, noting how many he had left before he had to clean a few.

He pulled on his gloves and looked at himself in the mirror next to the closet.

…He zipped up his fly, glad that he looked.

Robin sighed, it was Tuesday, not that Tuesday was ever special, no day was for him really.

He went though the door into the hallway, by the time he made it out no one was there, Raven, and whoever had made her laugh were long gone.

He shook his head and chuckled softly.

Raven was also much more social, no longer really quiet during their rides in the C-car, she was just as talkative as the rest of the group now.

Beastboy couldn't be any happier either, he just seemed to care more and more for the formerly dark girl, and if someone hit her in combat, he was all over them.

Starfire liked the change too, she now had someone that she got along with well, and that didn't mind having girl talk with her.

Cyborg hadn't really expressed an opinion. But he seemed to like the new Raven well too.

Robin himself liked the new her as well, even though that officially made him the broodiest of the group, but he was okay with that.

He felt that she was still holding onto some darkness in her, something for when she was alone, but she really had brightened up so much that you would hardly believe she was the same girl.

Robin walked down the hall to the elevator; he got in and pressed the floor kitchen/recreation area.

He rode along quietly, the elevator was free from annoying elevator music, there was no sound but the gears turning to lift the elevator.

Raven had taken to so many hobbies, and she had an advantage in the fact that she rarely slept, it used to be because of Trigon, but she had just gotten used to going long hours without sleep.

She was leaning various things from all the members of the team, and they all happily taught her.

The doors opened quickly and Robin walked into the kitchen, no other members were there.

He looked over the counter; no one was playing the game station.

"Hello?" He said in a normal tone.

No one called back, but he saw a small note on the table now that looked.

Robin

Gone out to do rounds, go ahead and rest, we can handle it, last night's fight was pretty rough on you.

Love,

The team.

Robin scratched his head and winced, he touched a wound, "Ow."

He shook his head, last night had been pretty hard on him, there were some odd black shadows attacking a bank, should have been easy, but he got roughed up pretty bad.

He sat down on the couch, and put his head back, staring up at the ceiling.

He wasn't too worried, Raven or Cyborg took command when he was resting, and he had learned to trust them more lately.

He closed his eyes, they were trust worthy, and he fell asleep quickly.

----------------------------

"How about this one?" Raven held up a dress.

"I dunno, doesn't go with her eyes." Cyborg said contemplatively, looking at the dark blue dress Raven was holding.

"I like the green one!" Beastboy said happily, as he sorted through some racks of dresses, not even giving a second thought to the fact he was a male in the dress department in the mall.

Starfire watched as her friends clamored over various dresses for her, they had all saved the clerk from a theft, and he insisted they take a dress as a reward.

Starfire was about to decline, but Raven agreed before Star had a chance.

And so she watched them all chatter, they were trying to help her with Robin, in fact, Beastboy had been planning something ever since he and Raven had become an item.

Beastboy smiled at Raven and she gave him a peck on the cheek, it was funny, he still blushed every time she kissed him.

Starfire smiled, they were such a cute couple, she was a little jealous of them in a way, but they had earned what they had, the story that the two of them had told had been incredible, but in the end, it made sense.

Raven was dressed in street clothes today; it was almost a day off for all of them, nothing but petty crime on a day like this, just another Tuesday.

"I don't know, Flame Red might look nice on Star." Cyborg said to the others with mixed reactions.

"I still like blue." Raven said.

"Green." Beastboy chipped in.

"Oh that's just because you are green man." Cyborg said to the changeling.

"No! Dude! Star would look nice in Green, Robin's tongue would hit the floor!"

"Blue and he would be captivated forever." Raven said, jabbing Beastboy in the arm playfully.

Cyborg shook his head, " Red, guys love a red dress."

Starfire shook her head and giggled softly to herself, watching them was entertaining if nothing else.

-----------------------------------

"Master, as I promised, I have succeeded in saving the girls soul from the abyss."

"Good…have you found a host?"

"Not yet master, we must find someone who is weak willed, but has a personality much like hers was, it's not an easy task being that her personality is so strong willed by nature."

"Keep at it…I await your good news."

"Yes Master, I will not fail you."

It was just another Tuesday.

Ah, welcome back, I've missed TT writing, I hope some of my old reviews are still around.

But I'll be taking new reviewers of course.
