Chapter 4

Some Friends

Raven looked at her friends and said," Titans, I would like you to meet my friend, His Name Is Shadow."

The Titans just kept looking at raven, and then looked at shadow, then back to raven again. This kept up until finally Star Fire charged at Raven, Raven freaked out and was about to use her powers to stop star but she ended up getting even more freaked out when star fire had her in a hug. After the hug finished and Raven could gather herself once more, Robin decided it was time to speak, seeing as he was the leader, he needed answers, no, not need answers, more like demanded answers.

Robin took in a big breath of air and then said, "Raven its nice to have you back and all but who the hell is this guy and why have you brought him to the tower. I know you said he was your friend and all but don't you think you could have called first and have told us that you were okay and that you were with a friend. You have no idea how worried I ... we have been about you." Finally out of breath he stopped, and was about to continue when Raven decided it was her turn to speak.

Raven was a bit angered by Robins little out burst, but she quickly calmed down and decided to go along with this for now. " I already told you who he is robin, he is my friend, and his name is shadow. Shadow was the one who saved me on that day so long ago, he was the one who took care of me while I was on deaths door, he is my teacher and my friend and you have no right to speak ill of him. It is true that perhaps I should have called, but as I understand he delivered a message to you all informing you that I was okay, and seeing as I thought you were my friends, I thought that shadow and I would be welcome, especially after all that he has done for me." Raven was a bit out of breath as well, even though she had said much, she said it with such calm that it scared the living hell out of Robin, and if you do that, that means he is not all that happy.

Robin was about to speak again, but was cut off by shadow. " Raven, its okay, I think I have caused enough trouble for one day here, I will be heading back to my home. It was a pleasure to meet you all, well at least the one with the friendly spirit. If you need anything Raven, You know where to find me."

Shadow was about to leave when Raven stopped him. "Shadow, please don't go, at least don't leave without me. If its okay with you, would you mind if I stayed with you. It seems my leader is not such a great leader after all, and not such a good friend as I thought he was. So if its okay with you, let me just get a few things from my room and well shall be off."

Shadow smiled at raven and told her that his home was her home as long as she wanted it that way.

Robin was angry now, no, he was way beyond angry now, and Raven was leaving him over some guy that saved her once. How many times have the titans saved each others lives, and now after everything they had gone through, she wishes to just walk out, he did not think so. Too bad for Robin, he did not have a choice in the matter.

As Raven was about to head to her room to get her things, Robin made a mad dash towards raven. Just as Raven was about to get to the door to leave the room, Robin grabbed her, turned her around and was about to slap her when he went flying towards the wall on the other side of the room.

The whole time BB and Cyborg had been there with their mouths open, but once they saw their leader robin flying across the room, that all stopped. BB and Cyborg were ready for a fight, and they were about to get the ass kicking of a lifetime, but luck was on their side that day, and Raven decided to put an end to it all.

"BB, Cyborg, that is enough. If you wish to end up worse then robin over there, then go right ahead because after this warning I won't be saving you from your stupidity. Shadow is not looking for a fight and the only reason he did that to robin was because he was about to hit me, even though I could have taken care of it myself, but I warn you, Shadow is not even trying to hurt you and if he was this whole tower would be nothing more then a memory, so be careful," and with that said, raven went to her room to gather her things.

BB and Cyborg did not know what to do, that was until shadow told them to be useful and help out their leader who was in not so good shape.

BB and Cyborg did not want to listen to shadow, but after the warning Raven had given them, they quickly picked robin up and dashed him to the medical wing so he could recover. After that the only ones left in the room were Star Fire and Shadow, and Star Fire looked sad. So shadow decided to see if he could help Star.

"Your a friend of ravens are you not," shadow said as he walked over to Star Fire.

Star Fire was silent for a moment before she finally decided to answer him. " Yes, yes I am."

"Then what is it that is bothering you, lady Star," shadow said as he spoke to her with the up most respect.

"I don't know why he is acting this way, friend Robin has never acted this way, its almost as if he is someone else. I just want things to go back to the way they were before Raven saved us," (Star Fire in tears) "We just thought she was dead, but we never gave up hope, even though we knew she could have not survived, we kept on looking and looking and just when hope was about to die, we received that letter. I was happy to hear she was alive, but all Robin could think about was who the hell was the person who brought the letter, even went as far as to go ask the man of the bat and he hates to do that. Cyborg was the same; he could just not rest until he found out who got through his security system, and how he did it. BB and I were the only ones who seemed to care about her and not you. Why do things have to be this way, why?"

Shadow was shocked, he did not know what to say a first, but he knew he had to say something, and so he did.

"I am sorry for all the trouble that I have caused Lady Star, but please don't cry, your face was not meant to have tears on it, only a smile. (Shadow wipes away her tears) I would like to explain everything to you, you have a noble heart, but I do not wish to do this here, please join me and raven for dinner one of these days and we shall tell you a story," and with that said shadow created a small dragon pendent and put it around Star Fire's neck, it was a perfect fit. "With this you can find me or Raven at any time, no matter where we are, only you will know how to use it and only you will be able to use it, as this one was made just for you," as shadow spoke those words, Raven walked back into the room.

Raven had a decent size bag on her shoulders, but it looked kind of small to hold all her belongings, but shadow knew that inside that bag, you could fit even the biggest of cars and still be able to carry it on your shoulders.

"You ready to go Raven?" shadow asked.

" Yes I am, I got everything I need, and I would like to be gone before "My Leader" decides to get back up, even though I know how hard you hit him. I know that he is hard headed and will be back up in no time at all," Raven said as she grabbed shadow's hand.

Shadow smiles at raven and says, "Okay Raven, lets go, but we can't forget to say good bye now can we"

Raven looks at shadow and sighs, and then says her good byes to Star.

Then it was shadow's turn

"Lady Star, he cares very much about you, don't you forget that, he is just confused at the moment, but if you ever need help, you know how to find us," and with that shadow and raven left the tower and started their trip home, yes it was their home now not just shadows.

Once shadow and Raven were gone, Star Fire stood there thinking about what shadow had told her, she did not know what to do, she was at a lost of words. Star stood there for the longest time before you finally decided to look at the pendent. Star had seen shadow put it around her but she never really got to see the pendent it self. Star fire walked to her room and went to her bathroom to look at it in the mirror, and when she did, she was shocked, it was the most beautiful thing she had ever seen, it was a black dragon with a red orb on it. The pendent was not the most fancy thing out there, but it had a magical feeling on it that just made it look great and made it feel so right to have. So now for the second time on this day Star Fire cried, but this time, it was not out of sadness, but out of thanks and joy and with that she went to bed and fell asleep.

On the way Home.

Raven was in deep thought, she had herd the conversation that shadow and Star had, she did not know why Shadow had decided that she should hear it. While she was packing she could hear everything that they were saying. When she got back, she saw shadow giving Star the most beautiful dragon Pendent she had ever seen, she wanted to get angry at shadow but she could not do that with out asking him about it first. Raven was about to ask shadow about it when he spoke to her.

" You have been quite for a while now, are you still wondering why I gave her that pendent and not you?" Shadow said with out even looking at Raven.

Raven was quite shocked by the question shadow had asked, so she did not know what to say, thankfully shadow continued.

"I gave her that pendent because you already have one and would not need a second one," and with that being said shadow smiled.

It took Raven a few moments to register what he said before she quickly noticed that what he said was true, around her neck was a beautiful dragon pendent. The dragon pendent she has seemed similar to the one Star Fire had but her's had a blue orb instead of a red one. There was also something else different about hers, her pendent had a different feeling behind it, but she could just not put her finger on what feeling it was, it almost seemed foreign to her but at the same time it did not, but right now was not the time to think about such things as right now she felt sleepy. It seemed that shadow noticed that I was sleepy as well as he picked me up in mid air and held me close to him. I felt my face start to burn, but I did not care, as not a moment later I feel asleep in his arms.

"Good night Raven, Sleep Well, Sweet dreams."
