Why do you care?

I woke up in the med. Room with a monitor showing my slow steady pulse. I looked around the room and saw no one was watching me at the moment. Thank the gods; I wasn't ready to face Robin. I got up and crept to the door and listened for any voices. I shouldn't use my powers so soon so I had to get to my room before anyone saw me, especially Robin.

I slowly opened the door and peered out. Empty, great. I started out with caution making my way down the long hallways to my room. "Is she awake?" Robin yelled. "No, not yet I'll go check on her," Cyborg answered as he tried to calm down his leader. "When she gets up send her straight to me." Just as I turned around to get back to the med. Room Cyborg grabbed my arm, "He's gone. You had better hurry to your room before he gets to you." I nodded then ran to my room. I typed in the password and slid into the darkness.

I felt my way to my bed and collapsed on it in grief. What would I say to Robin? I didn't want to kiss him. He kissed me?No that wouldn't work he would just go off. I turned over and saw a present sitting on my dresser with a soft red rose. The present was wrapped in purple. I picked it up and saw that there was no card. I set the rose by the purple one in a vase then unwrapped the gift. Inside was a Kelley Clarkson CD titled 'Breakaway' and written on it was 'Sorry.'

I had no CD player so I decided to wait till I could safely escape the tower without Robin knowing to buy one. I sat down on the bed and took a deep breath. He was in here again and no one knew but me.

"WHERE IS SHE?" I hear Robin yelling down the hall. "Dude you need to chill she needs to…" Then I heard pounding on my door. "Raven open this door or I will!" I ambled to the door, "Open up!" I slid open the door only to be pushed back as Robin entered. I yelled, "This is my room, I didn't say come in!" His face was red. Ignoring the fact that I spoke he said, "What's going on with you and Red X?" I walked over to my bed and sat down with exhaustion. I didn't want to tell him…"Raven…" I spoke quickly and quietly, "Nothing." He stomped over to the dresser and picked up the vase with the 2 roses in it, "Then where did you get these?"

I wasn't quick enough to answer. He had already dropped the vase and glass shards scattered across the room. A looked up into his eyes and meet his gaze. After a while his eyes softened, "I'm trying to do what's best." I walked over to him and bent down and grabbed the two roses, "Yea, me too!" With that I transported myself away from Robin with the two roses tucked safely in my hand.

I was on the roof watching the sun set. I had been meditating for a while, but I couldn't deny the colors calling to me. Then I held out the purple and red roses and one by one tore off the petals, "Do I love him?" then repeating with the red rose, "Does he love me?" "Do you love him?" I turned to see Robin standing there looking down. I got up and walked over to him, "No," I whispered, "I don't." He looked up and smiled. "Tell me from the beginning." I turned and walked back to the edge of the roof and sat down, Robin sat next to me and I told him everything.

"Well, what do I do?" I asked shyly. Robin was staring at me the whole time, "Nothing, lets all do something together. Red X is my fault so it's my responsibility." I shock my head and looked down, "I could have…" "Forget about it. The team will deal with him." I looked up to him again and sighed, "Why do you care so much?" Robin froze then said, "I'm the leader of the team and I have to do what's best for them." I nodded then left to go to my room.

Below the tower a masked villain looked up as purple and red petals feel down. He had one thought on his mind, "You will come to love me, my angel."
