Voice Of Emotion
Chapter 3 – Trying For Answers
Tuesday
Robin was in the training room. At 7am. On a Tuesday morning. 'Why?' do you ask? Because he want to look good for his walk in the park with Raven. He felt attracted to her and being a teenager, was very obsessive over how he looks. He took a shower after exercising his well built body and toned muscles and got dressed in a red t – shirt and jeans. He gelled his hair, and put on his aftershave.
Meanwhile, Raven had just escaped from her shower and was deciding on what to wear. Finally, she decided on wearing black skinny jeans and a blue top with a black rose on it. Her hair was longer than it was before and was just past her shoulders, framing her face beautifully.
Just as she was about to step out of her room, there was a slight knock on her door and she opened it to find Robin there, looking really cute in his casual clothes. She smiled slightly and walked out, shutting her door quietly behind her. Robin drank in the sight of her and grinned happily. He took her hand in his and they walked out of the Tower like that, and no other Titan was awake to see them.

The birds chirped happily throughout the park, despite the air being cooler than it had been the past Summer. Robin decided to break the silence between the two teenagers.
"Uh… it's a lovely morning?"
Raven nodded in response and Robin then said,
"So you gave your voice away to keep control of your emotions and express them freely because you… felt strongly about someone, right? Well, if you don't mind me asking… who – who is that someone?"
Robin knew he would be heartbroken if she said someone other than him, but he'd be shocked if she said it was him. He'd put himself in a bad position… Raven looked at him and then looked away quickly, her cheeks flushing a bright pink. Robin began to guess.
"Okay, is it Beastboy?"
Raven shook her head disgustingly.
"Cyborg?"
Raven gave him a look that told him that he was like her big brother and she didn't like him that way.
"Speedy?"
Raven shook her head.
"Aqualad?"
She looked at him weirdly.
"Oh I've got it!"
Raven raised an eyebrow.
"Its – its Kid Flash!"
Raven pretended to start gagging and Robin took that as a definite 'no'. He was about to ask her if it was him that she liked when his communicator went off and Cyborg's face appeared on it. It was obvious that the half machine teenager had been enjoying his breakfast when he'd been interrupted.
"Yes Cyborg?"
"There's an attack going on down near the bank. It's the HIVE."
"We're downtown now, we'll meet you there."
Robin slammed his communicator shut and told Raven that she should could teleport them there as quickly as possible. She took orders from her leader and they were teleported out of the park and onto the scene of the bank before you could count to 5.
The two teens were shortly joined by the rest of their team and Beastboy looked really tired as if he'd been dragged out of bed. It was 8am and he didn't get up usually until 9am. Starfire was still jealous that Robin had been spending more time with Raven, but she had found a really great Jump City fellow and had taken a liking to him.
The HIVE turned around to face the superheroes when they heard Robin shout to his team;
"Titans, GO!"
The teenagers lashed out at the HIVE. Raven and Jinx staring an immediate fight. Those two females were supposedly arch enemies. They'd always hated each other, but no one knew why, in fact even those two didn't know why.
"Ah, Raven. Come to show me your demonic powers once again?"
Raven growled… well that's if she could make a sound. She looked a bit odd at the way her face was held, especially as no sound came out. Jinx burst into a rage of laughter and had to hold herself before falling over. Raven glared at her before attacking the pink haired girl.
"Wow, Raven. I never knew that you can't even growl!" Jinx laughed. Raven continued throwing punches and kicks, while Jinx returned hexes and curses back at her.
"What's the matter? Cat got your tongue?" taunted Jinx as she sent a roundhouse kick into Raven's gut. The empath got up straight away and punched Jinx square in the chest knocking her backwards.
Starfire and Beastboy were trying to fight Mammoth and were succeeding if only Beastboy had been more alert and awake, Mammoth would have been out cold by now. Beastboy was being lectured by Starfire about the importance of team work and alertness while he head butted Mammoth.
Meanwhile, Robin and Cyborg were chasing after Gizmo, who had stolen Robin's utility belt (him and Raven are both in their uniforms now… I dunno how but they are) and was trying to put an explosive device in it. The two male boys were getting angry with the small guy but finally they retrieved the belt and attacked him full on.
"Why aren't you talking today? Sore throat? Maybe you've just sold your voice on eBay or – " Jinx didn't finish her sentence because Raven had blasted her with her powers, making Jinx fall unconscious. She threw her into the police van as Starfire chucked Mammoth in and Cyborg tied Gizmo up before placing him into the police van aswell.
Raven was still fuming about what Jinx had said to her. Raven thought about it in a technical way and she did kind of sell her voice… She came back to reality when Cyborg picked her up and carried her to the T – Car saying,
"We're getting a McDonalds breakfast and there's nothing you can do about it. The whole teams going! No objections!"
Raven started sulking in the car. She didn't want McDonalds! All she wanted a cup of tea, what's so bad about that?! Cyborg and Starfire sat in the front because Starfire claimed it was her turn to be in the passenger seat, whilst Beastboy, Robin and Raven sat in the back.
"So, which guy did you fall in love with then?" Robin whispered into her ear, sending shivers down her spine.
Raven looked at him and pretended to zip up her mouth, imitating that she wasn't helping him in any way at all. Robin sighed and muttered,
"Is it me?"
Raven looked out of her window, not saying anything. Robin was confused. He needed an answer! Did she like him more than a friend? He'd find out soon enough…
..x..x..x..x..x..x..x..x..x..x..x..x..x..x..x..x..x..x..x..x..x..x..x..x..x..x..x..x..x..x..x

The five teenagers were playing volley ball on the roof that afternoon before dinner, because the sun hadn't set yet. Robin wasn't on Raven's team so he couldn't ask her. Why did Cyborg have her on his team?! This was so unfair. But then again, life is unfair. All Robin had was Starfire and Beastboy... and Starfire didn't even understand how to play the game! Beastboy was too busy complaining that he wanted Cyborg on his team, and so Robin was playing against Cyborg and Raven on his own.
He was losing until Cyborg announced that Beastboy could be on his team, leaving Robin with a confused Starfire and a voiceless Raven. But the voiceless Raven was excellent at volley ball and he could talk to her.
"So, uh Rae. Who's the mystery guy?"
Raven looked at him and sighed. She wacked the volley ball over the net and hit it so hard, that it went flying off the roof, making the game over. Cyborg and Beastboy started sulking, until Starfire suggested that they play on the gamestation. This left Raven and Robin alone.
"Raven, you can't avoid this. Please, tell me."
The gothic teenager opened her mouth to speak but couldn't speak so she looked out to the sunset. Robin too looked out at the gorgeous sunset and then stared at Raven, thinking that she was much more beautiful than anything, including the sunset itself.
Soon, Raven turned to face Robin, to find him staring at her. Not realising what they were doing, the teenagers slowly and carefully started to close the gap between their lips, getting caught up in the moment and their raging hormones taking over.
They were inches away when the heard from inside,
"HAHA! BEAT YOUR STINKY ASS BUTT AGAIN BB!"
"DUDE! YOU CHEATED!"
The two birds retreated back and blushed deep crimson colours. Robin broke the awkward silence,
"We – we should go down…"
Raven followed Robin downstairs and as he started to head towards the main room, she headed towards her own room. She had been so close to getting back her voice! And then because of the two childish teenagers, also known as Cyborg and Beastboy.

In a dark cave, somewhere in the eastern mountains of Jump City, an old witch was fuming angrily.
"I was so close to losing the precious voice of that troublesome half demon girl! I hate her! When she becomes my slave, I will treat her so harsh, that she'll beg me to kill her!" The witch began cackling again at that thought and then stopped, mid laugh.
"Maybe I should make her immortal when she becomes my slave and that way she'll live with her pain and torture for the rest of eternity! Muahahahahaha! Yes! I shall become powerful! I shall suck out her youth and become beautiful once more!"
The old witch began pacing around her 'home' and thinking up ways in which she would torture Raven if she couldn't get kissed by Sunday. Her pet toad began to drink up some strange liquid, and only realised it was rat's blood when he had drank at least a whole litre. Stupid toad…
..x..x..x..x..x..x..x..x..x..x..x..x..x..x..x..x..x..x..x..x..x..x..x..x..x..x..x..x..x..x..x

Okay, you can choose to ignore that last bit about the old witch and her weird pet. I don't think this chapter was the best one… I promise you that the next one will be much, MUCH better!
Buh – Bye!
