Robin stood in front of Raven's gate and shifted on his feet nervously. Her plane had indeed landed and he had no idea what was taking so long. Of course, perhaps he was just being a tiny bit impatient. Looking up he gave a large sigh of relief when passengers began to file out. Person after person emerged from the doorway, but still no Raven. Robin was beginning to get nervous when he finally spotted her. She looked some how different. Her hair was a little longer and Raven wore it half up and half down, which Robin found immensely attractive on her. For apparel, she had on dark blue shorts and a black tank top. Seeing him she gave him a tired smile before weaving her way around the other passengers towards him.
"Welcome home," Robin said before pulling Raven into a gentle hug. He felt Raven go stiff at the contact for a moment, but then her muscles relaxed and she gave him a hug back. Robin released her to get a better look at his teammate. "You look tired . . . did you sleep on the plane at all?" he asked as they headed towards the luggage pick up.
"I actually slept the whole time. I slept too much, which is probably the problem. How has everything at the Tower been?" Raven asked and then yawned. Robin smiled thinking what he wanted to say. He wanted to tell her that being in the Tower had been miserable without her, but now wasn't the time.
"Everything has been good. Not a lot of criminal activity. We are all happy that you are home," Robin professed as they came to stand in front of the luggage carousel. Raven's expression told him that she was surprised at his statement. Robin was thrilled that he could still read her face like an open book even though a whole month had passed since he had last seen her.
Not that Raven had ever been easy to read. It had taken him years to learn the subtle changes on her face. Perhaps that was what had originally put him on the path to falling in love with her. She had been a puzzle that he, the great detective, could not figure out. Robin had told himself that he started studying Raven because knowing his best friend's emotions would only help their friendship, and the fact that figuring her out was a challenge was just a bonus. However, Robin was beginning to suspect that even then his feelings for her were forming.
"So how was Africa?" Robin asked trying to get an idea what her last month had been like. He already knew how his had been . . . agony. Raven was staring off into nothing with a blank look on her face. Robin waved his hand in front of her face, which snapped her back.
"What? Oh, sorry. Africa was good. I did a lot of work in the wilder areas. I and the other Titans helped a lot with the Red Cross and for a week we assisted in rebuilding a village that had been destroyed by a mudslide," Raven said with a smile on her face. "It felt good to help people who really need it you know? Not that I don't love protective Jump City . . . it just felt good to help out with something other then master villains, you know?" she asked desperate to get him to understand. Robin could not help but shake his head. He had never done the kind of work she had been doing, pretty much all he knew was crime fighting.
"I'm happy that you had a good time," he responded as the carousel began dumping random luggage on the conveyer. After a few minutes Robin spotted a massive black suitcase that he knew was Raven's. Just as she was about to lift her own suitcase Robin snatched it out of her grip.
"I got it," he told her as he pulled it off the conveyer. Her bag weighted a ton . . . of course she had a month's worth of clothes and probably at least twelve books inside. Raven gave him a smile in the form of her thanks. "God, Rachelle, what do you have in here?"
Raven's eyebrows quirked up at the mention of her given name, but she said nothing in response to it. Instead, she shrugged her shoulder. "Well there are clothes, other necessary items, fifteen books, and gifts for everyone." She declared. Robin was so stunned her stopped in his tracks. It took Raven a minute to realize he had stopped.
"Gifts huh? What did you get me?" he asked with a devilish grin on his face. Raven knew how much he loved to figure out what his presents were before they were given. Every Christmas he would sneak around and peek at his gifts. Although, he could never find Raven's gift for him. Every year, no matter how hard he tried Christmas morning would come and he would open her present to him and see it for the first time.
"Don't even think about it bird boy!" she warned.
So just anther chapter. I hope you enojy it. I do have a question though for all of you reading. Does Robin sound like a guy? I'm not used to writing for a guy's perspective much and never know if I'm gettin it right. If you have any suggestions for imporvements I'm all ears. Anyways thanks for your previous comments! And comment some more!
