"Raven?" Starfire called, quietly knocking on her door.
"I was wondering if you would like to do the talking of girls within the boundaries of my room, then perhaps we can... meditate?"
"Star, as much as I would love to do that, I - "
"I have not seen you as often since you had disappeared, and I had wished that I could do of 'releasing my feelings' about... about Robin."
"Fine," Raven caved, gliding over to Starfire's room. Once the door was shut, Robin snuck into the currently uninhabited dark room.
"I'm in. Now I need to find a mirror." He glanced around, nervous, and immediately noticed a large (he knew it was large because the multitude that Starfire acquired), hand held mirror laying on the nightstand. 'This has to be it!' he thought, and picked it up. He stared at his reflection awkwardly, not sure what to do. Suddenly, two orange eyes replaced his mask, and he almost screamed, but suppressed it as he knew Raven would check it out if she heard something. A large orange arm and hand pulled Robin in.
He landed face-first into a huge floating rock. Miraculously, he still had all his teeth. He stood up and glanced around at the dreary landscape and wondered aloud, "This is Raven's mind?"
"Yeah, and you'd better be grateful I brought you in it!" exclaimed an orange cloaked Raven.
"Raven? But I thought that you were talking to Star... I mean, which emotion are you?"
"Rude."
"Okay... I, urm, came to see Graciela." Before Rude could answer, a Raven wearing pink skipped up to them. She smiled happily up at him, and he immediately thought 'This is probably happy or giddy or something'.
"Rude, they want ya' in A's territory. Oh, hi!"
"Uh... hi. You're Happy, right?"
"Yeah, I'm always Happy! Why ya here?"
"I came to see Graciela."
"Okay!"
" - I told him that I love him and he just started to stammer and turn red. Does that mean that he does not love me back?" Starfire was no longer merely distracting Raven, but actually explaining why she was confused.
"No, Star. Here, saying 'I love you' for the first time is harder than 'I like you'."
"I already know he likes me, as I am on the team."
"No, Star. That's different. When someone says 'I like you', it means that they love you, but are scared to say it."
"I was scared to say it to Robin. Why did he not respond?"
"...Robin can be aggressive, protective, ridiculous, and helpful. However, he has hard time expressing affection. He's afraid."
"Of what is he afraid of? I have now expressed my affection, so he should not be frightened of returning my feelings."
"He's isn't used to saying 'I love you'." Suddenly, she felt... happy. Immediately, she suspected the worse. "Star, where are the boys?"
Star sweatdropped and scratched the back of her neck. "Cyborg challenged Beast Boy to a running game."
"And Robin?" Raven wondered, raising an eyebrow.
"He is... um... Raven, I cannot deceive you longer..."
They had already passed through Rude's area and 'the land where air fresheners are made' when they came to an area about twenty times girlier than Happy's, which Robin thought nearly impossible. Almost everything was purple and heart-shaped, besides the multitude of Ravens in different colored cloaks. A Raven in purple broke off from the cluster and walked towards them, to which Rude, and Happy stopped. Robin quickly followed suit.
"Hey, A!" giggled Happy, waving.
"Hi," the Raven in purple replied dreamily, staring off in the distance.
"Uh, which emotion are you?" Robin wondered politely, much like he did for Rude.
"Affection..."
Robin raised his eyebrows. "Affection?"
"Yes... I've been here since I met you..."
The teen hero's eyes widened. "Me?"
"And the rest of the Titans."
Robin sighed in relief. He didn't like Raven... in that way. Then he was curious. "What kind of Affection does she - you - have for me?"
"She sees you as an understanding brother. She sees Cyborg as an older brother. Starfire she sees as a younger sister."
"And Beast Boy?" Affection didn't respond, wearing a secret smile.
Happy suddenly cried out, "Knowledge! We wanna see Graciela!"
A Raven in yellow jumped and looked up from her book. Her wire-rimmed glasses slid down her face, and she used her finger to push it up. As soon as she noticed Robin, she curtly replied, "No," and hid the book in her cloak.
"Why not?"
"I know Raven wouldn't like you to see Graciela."
"How do ya know that?" wondered Happy.
Rude sighed, "It could be that she's Knowledge..."
"Oh."
"Why not?"
"Because she doesn't want you to judge her," a gray-robed Raven whispered.
"Really Timid? I thought you would've turned tail as soon as you knew that it wasn't Rae, Gar, or both," Rude scoffed.
Suddenly a Raven wearing brown called out, "It wasn't wise for you to come here, Robin. Of course, I don't think it's wise for Raven to be hiding something like this from you."
"Why?"
"I can't say..."
"Why not?"
"She's only one emotion, and she can't stand against all of us, especially when the majority of us agree with Timid," Knowledge cut in.
"Thanks, Knowledge," said a Raven from behind. When Robin turned around, he saw it was the original. "Why did you want to know so much that you infiltrated my mind?"
"Because you were hiding it from us so obviously." Starfire answered from behind Raven.
"She was hiding me the day we defeated Dr. Light!" cried out an angry Raven dressed in red.
"Rage has a point," Knowledge pointed out.
"Dudettes, what goin' on... WHAT'RE YOU DOING HERE, ROBIN? WHY'RE YOU HERE, STAR?" Beast Boy yelled, obviously peeved.
Cyborg came crashing down. Happy yelled, "Woo, partay!"
Robin virtually ignored them. "Raven, remember when Ding Dong Daddy stole my briefcase, and I showed you what was inside? It's because we're a team, and we shouldn't hide things from each other. No matter what."
Raven, Beast Boy, and all the emoticlones excluding Rage, looked at the ground in guilt. Rage was yelling, "How dare you use that as an excuse!"
Raven walked past the emoticlones, who were hiding the mysterious girl, and motioned for the others to feel the same. "This is Graciela," she told them, picking up the girl.
She was six months old. She had a mix of amethyst and emerald eyes, gray skin, green hair, and a ruby red chakra. Robin and Cyborg had the same reaction - their eyes widened larger than plates and their jaws dropped to the floor. Starfire merely looked confused until she wondered aloud, "Why is Graciela so young and have similar appearances to you and Beast... oh. Beast Boy and Raven have had a blorfnag!"
"Uh... can I have a question?" Cyborg asked meekly, still wide-eyed. Raven nodded. "How long have you been together?"
"Five years tomorrow," Raven answered immediately. Beast Boy nodded, looking anywhere but at them. Raven, on the other hand, was chewing her lip and looking intently at them, trying to see how much they would judge them. Timid's cloak grew stronger in color, while the other emoticlones' cloaks grew fainter.
"Me, as well?" Star wondered quietly, now understanding why the other two titans were not excited. Again, Raven nodded. "Is the name 'Graciela' common on this world?"
"No, Star. I came up with it by mixing part of Raven's real name, Rachel, with mine, Garfield," Beast Boy answered, very intent on a purple tree.
"Wait, YOU came up with it?" Cyborg pointed, surprised.
Rage and Affection's cloaks got deep in color as Raven defended, "Just because he acts like an idiot doesn't mean he is one!"
"Nothing exploded," Robin noticed, glancing around.
"My emotions aren't dangerous in my mind... unless Trigon gets a hold of them."
"Okay... my question," Robin started. "How'd all of this happen?"
"You mean from the beginning?" Beast Boy inquired, finally looking at Robin.
"From the day you got together to... Graciela."
Raven sighed, "Well..."
Annoying cliff hanger moment! I'm so into this myself, I think I might update twice. Today. Also, this one chappy has more words than the others combined. This is my usual writing, I just got off to a bad start. Well, good, but not as much detail as I usually do.
R&R please!
