When Raven pulled up to the Titan Tower, she thanked Wintergreen and watched him drive away. Raven sighed and put a hand to her cheek. It was still swollen and a tad bit purple. Earlier on the car ride here she used some of her magic to make the swelling and color go down. Unfortunately, it was still pretty noticeable. She pulled her hood over her head and walked inside the tower.

So far everything was fine until she ran into Beast Boy. Oh great. She thought. Beast Boy turned and looked at her. Then his eyes widened.

"Dude, What happened to you face!" He practically yelled it for the whole world to hear. Not even a few seconds later, all the titans were swarmed around her asking her so many questions. Raven tried to push out from the crowd when a hand grabbed her shoulder, images of the man flooded her mind, and so as a reflex she turned around and ended up punching Starfire in the mouth. The questions came to a sudden halt as they watched Starfire gasp in horror. Her hand came to her face and tears filled her eyes. Raven backed away with her eyes wide.

"Starfire… I'm so sorry." Raven went forward a few steps but no more. Starfire just nodded then wiped a few tears away. Raven couldn't take it anymore. She said her famous three words and teleported herself to her bedroom. I need to clear my head. She grabbed her mirror, looked at it, then set it down. She rather not talk to her feelings right now. Instead she sat in front of her window and began to meditate. A few hours later, she was beginning to calm down when there was a knock on the door. She sighed then walked over to the door and opened it a crack. It was Robin, the boy wonder.

"Can I help you, Robin?" She asked.

"I think I should be asking you that." He forced the door open and walked inside without an invitation. Raven ignored it and closed the door. She was thanking Azaran that her hood was still on covering most the bruise. She walked over to her bed and sat down. She looked at Robin who was staring at her, as if trying to get inside her head. She looked away and peered at him from the corner of her eye. Raven had once developed a small crush on him but she really didn't care that he liked Starfire. She wasn't into the whole jealousy thing.

"Raven, you're going to have to tell me what happened." He came over and sat down by her.

"And if I don't?" She replied looking down at the floor.

"Then I can't help." He leaned in closer to her. Raven blushed under the heat of his breath.

"What if I don't want help?" She finally looked up at him, their noses barely touching.

"Maybe you don't want help, but that doesn't mean you don't need it." He placed his hand on hers. A bad feeling swept over Raven and she pulled her hand away and stood up. Her face went blank as she remembered the mans breath on her neck. Robin stood up and walked over to her, but raven put her hands up.

"Please, I don't need help. I just ran into some trouble, but I survived didn't I?" Raven put her hands down as Robin retreated from her.

"You survived, but you came out wounded, but not just physically. Isn't that right?" Robin stood still. When Raven looked away and didn't respond, Robin walked out of the room with out another word.

Raven sat back down on her bed and placed her hands to her face. She couldn't tell them what happened. They wouldn't believe her even if she did. Slade save her? Even she was still having trouble comprehending it. Raven didn't know what to do. Well she knew she had to one thing, actually make that two things. Raven stood up and walked to her door. She opened it and stepped out. Robin was nowhere to be seen.

Raven walked down the hall to Starfire's door. She knocked once. No response so she knocked two more times. Finally she heard some muffled sounds come from behind the door. Starfire opened the door, greeting Raven with a warming smile and open arms that immediately wrapped around her.

"Raven! I knew you would come! That's why I have prepared the sleeping of the over! I have the polish of the nails, and popcorn and movies, and pillo-"Raven cut her off.

"Actually Starfire, I just came here to apologize about earlier. It's just you kind of scared me." Raven noticed Starfire's face droop.

"It's okay. I understand you must have had a rough night." Starfire was about to close the door when Raven thought it over. Raven, you kind of owe her a sleepover as an apology, plus, what if that guy comes back for you. He knows where your bedroom is. Raven sighed. I hate it when you're right common sense. Raven could feel Common sense gloating at the fact she won.

"Starfire, if you don't mind, I think I'll take your offer up on the sleepover." Raven gave her best smile to try and look happy. Starfire slammed the door back open.

"Glorious! I shall fluff the pillows and make of the air bed!" Starfire flew to her closet and had Raven help her pump the air into the mattress. Once they were done, Starfire and Raven laid down on the mattress and began to watch 'A walk to Remember'. It was Starfire's favorite movie, of course it was after she found out what leukemia was.

While Raven watched the movie her mind drifted to other places. She first thought of the man that had attacked her, and then she thought about Wintergreen and how he had been so nice to her. The person she thought most of though was Slade. For some reason she just couldn't get him out of her head. She started to drift to sleep as she thought of Slade when he carried her in his arms. Raven longed for him to hold her again. She then opened her eyes at the mere thought of being in Slade's strong arms. How could she think of him like that? It was wrong. She was a hero and he was a villain. The more she thought about it made her realize that he was actually a hero. He was her hero. He saved her.

That had made her come to a conclusion once more. The one she yelled at Slade over. She owed him something that he saved. She was about to fall asleep once more when she started to hear sniffles beside her. It was Starfire. Raven looked up at the screen and realized the movie was over.

"Raven, wasn't that such a sad movie?" Starfire asked wiping tears from her eyes.

"Huh? Oh, Uhh, yeah." Raven turned away and let her head fall against the pillow.

'Well, goodnight Raven." Starfire said.

"Goodnight Starfire." Raven replied. That night Raven dreamed of Slade. She dreamed that she and Slade were facing each other. When she looked up at Slade he was reaching for his mask. When he took it off his face was covered by shadows. Raven died to know what he looked like but before she could look harder his lips pushed against hers. Raven was taken back a bit, but quickly recovered and returned the kiss.

When Raven woke up it was morning and the sun was shining down into Starfire's room. Raven smiled at her self for actually liking the sun this morning. She sat up and stretched. Then she thought to herself for a minute.

Raven Roth, I think you're in love with Slade. And you owe him big time.
