For reviewing and giving me your opinion.

I don't own Teen Titans. Just the idea. Which I got off a book.

It's been about a month since I saw, or though I saw, ever since, Ravens been acting weird. When I woke up the day after the incident, I was in my room. The next day I talked to Raven about it and she told me that I passed out due to exhaustion. She also told me that she finished her business and then took me home. I don't remember falling asleep. Was I really that tired. Or is she lying to me. But if she is then, why?

Whats even weirder is that Ravens been skipping missions and wont come out of her room unless necessary.

I walked down the hall when I saw Robin standing outside Ravens room. He looked furious. She opened her door and I could barely hear her whisper a hello.

I stayed quite and hid behind a corner as I heard Robin start talking to her. "Raven." He said firmly. "Where have you been? You've been skipping out on missions, you never come out anymore." His voice softened as he looked closer at her. "Are you okay?" I asked.

"Yeah." She whispered. "Just the flu."

"You could have told us. We could help you..."

"No." She interrupted. "I'm fine. I'll be down for training tomorrow."

"Raven, you don't. I mean."Robin stated stuttering. He didn't really know how to talk to her when she felt so weak. None of us did. She was always so strong and stuck it out. Robin finally gave a sigh and replied, "Fine, but just tell me if you can't handle it. I don't want to out of commission for any longer."

Robin finally walked away and I started walking towards Ravens room. I was curious to see what was up.

"Hey Rae," I said just before she shut her door. Her body stiffened as is I just scared the crap out of her.

She looked at me and gave a sigh of relief. "What." She asked coldly. I flinched and she sighed again. "Sorry. I'm just really tired."

"It's cool. But, how are you feeling?" I ask.

"I'm fine." She replied. "Just a little cold. Now can I please go..." She tried shutting the door on me and I pt my foot in the way.

"C'mon Rae," I said. "I thought we were past this."

Past what?" She ask.

"Past you lying to me." Her eyes widened and she broke down.

"It's not my fault." She wept. "I didn't want any of this to happen."

I crouched down next to her and held her, "Sh..." I whispered. "It's okay." I picked up he wet face and placed it i my hands. "Now tell me, what happened.

She tried clearing her throat and whimpered. "Slade..." She took a breath and continued. " He... he. ra-" But before she could say anything else, she passed out.

I ran to the common room, clutching a weak, tired Raven and yelled for our friends.

Cyborg was o the couch watching TV when he heard us come in. "What happened?" He yelled.

"I don't know." I told him.

"Get her to the medical room." He shouted frantically.

We rushed her to the med room and called the others. Once we were all in there, we did some test on her. She was not only tired, but bruised and hungry. She was starving herself. What did Slade do to make her so weak. Did he...? My fists clenched and I punched a hole through the wall. I couldn't take it anymore, I just... I walked out.

I walked to my room and Cyborg chased after me. "Yo B," Cy said.

"What." I asked. I was pissed. She was killing herself. And whats worse is that it was all because of Slade.

"Are you okay?" Cyborg asked.

"What do you think?" I growled.

"Listen, B." He said placing a hand on my shoulder. "I know you're worried about Rae. We all are. But you can't just go around punch'n holes in walls cause you can't control your temper."

"That's not it, Cy." He looked at me and raised a brow. I sighed and continued. "Before Raven passed out, she tried telling me something. She said it involved Slade." Cyborg looked at me as if I just punched him in the stomach.

"B," He whispered. "Slade's gone and he's not comin back."

"Then why would Raven say he was involved?" I asked.

"She could just be talking about when her father tried to take over the world. Maybe he did something then and it finally hit her."

I shrugged Cyborg's hand off my shoulder and looked him in the eye. "Your wrong." I growled, "I saw him when I went to the carnival."

"B, what are you talking about?"

I sighed and explained. "After I thought I saw Terra, I went to the old carnival where I learned that she was betraying us. In the fun house, I was attacked by one of Slade's robots and he was talking to me through it."

"Why didn't you tell us?" I heard Robin say behind me.

With out looking at him a quickly replied, "because you wouldn't believe me." As soon as I said that, I just walked away. Somehow Robin came from the same direction as my room and I had to wonder around the tower. "So much for a cool exit." I thought to myself. "Ugh! I've lived in this tower for almost four years and I still manage to get myself lost." After about an hour of wondering around, I find myself staring at the door to the medical room. I punch in the code and the door slowly slides open. I walk inside and the only sound you could hear is the sound of Ravens soft breathing. I sighed. I was glad that Raven was breathing. I slide into the seat next to the bed. She looked so, weak. I hated seeing her so miserable.

So, I just sit there and wait...

I hope it was good. Tel me if you think so.
