Thanks for the reviews, I really do appreciate all of them ;).

I'm still trying to get better about the paragraph situation. Sorry it took me a little longer on this one, finals are crazy. Let me know what you all think about this chapter, I really hope you all like it.

Disclaimer:I do not own any of these characters DC owns them however I still wish this pairing would happen in the comics ;).

Well here the next chapter is, starting from where I left off :).

The morning rained in through the window along with decisions and thoughts of what to do next. No one ever came… It was surprising; I had figured they'd be barging in as soon as I had walked through the door. Why were they giving us so much time? I couldn't come up with any answers and gave up trying to find them. The league would come; it was only a matter of time. Sighing I got up from my uncomfortable position and popped my back, it was sore after staying in that position all night and my brain was starved of sleep. I yawned as I walked to my closet to change. Pulling off my kevlar pants and my other glove, I threw on some shorts, having also decided it was way too painful to try and put on a shirt right now. Walking back to the bed, I sat down next to her and touched her face. Raven wake up soon…I silently pleaded wanting to hear her voice once again after so long.

She'd stirred under my touch, her eyes fluttered till finally the most beautiful light violet eyes were staring back into mine. She stared at me her mouth opened as if to say something, instead she sat up pulling the covers to her chest. She looked at the necklace hanging around my neck, the single red gem it held. I looked up at the one on her forehead that glowed and shimmered as the light caressed and enhanced its deep crimson color, putting to shame the ruby I had on.

"Raven I…" at a loss for words all I could do was reach to cup her face in my hand when the pain shot through it. I had tried using my broken hand, stupid me. "WHO ARE YOU?" She yelled scooting away from me and looking around my apartment, "and where am I?"

I stood up from the bed and looked at her, realizing my mask was still on I removed it slowly. Showing myself for who I really am like so many years before. After years of leaving my mask on it almost felt like a second skin to me. "It's me Richard…Rachel, I missed you…" the words a whisper in the air almost hanging, waiting for a response. "Dick…you're not him… he… six years ago…" She mumbled confused. "I know…I left six years ago… I was stressed and angry and I took it out on all of you… after a while I felt like I couldn't go back…I was afraid of what you all would have thought of me Rachel… After so long, I just tried to leave the past behind… I figured everyone would've been better off that way", I ranted pacing across my small space.

"Do you know what our team went through? After our "leader" left us, we fell apart completely…Starfire was a mess and left to run off with a man in a red mask, Cyborg left…I haven't seen him since you took off… Gar, tried his hardest to keep us together but it… it all just FELL APART." Her voice rose to a scream, with eyes glowing black as she used her powers to throw me against the wall. I grunted smashing against it my all my stitches opening up from impact, busting through it I fell into the side. I could feel the wood digging into my back, blood dripped around me. That'll take some money to fix. I moved out of the wall staggering as my feet touched the ground again and I moved towards her. I really don't know what's good for me.

"Robin none of those excuses will ever be GOOD ENOUGH. DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU DID TO ME?" Her screams shattered my window, shaking my little room. I kept stepping closer to her not stopping. "I'm sorry…I'm not asking for forgiveness. I can't ask that of anyone." Before I realized it, I was running towards her. "Just don't for one second think I don't care, Rae, because honestly I've missed you the most. Look into my heart, look into my head and see…" I whispered wrapping my arms around her damning the pain. I needed her touch, this closeness that seemed to meld us together. I nuzzled my head into her shoulder and neck taking in her scent; it was an intoxicating smell of spices and herbs. If I was going to die might as well die happy right. That's when I felt it her mind connect with mine, our souls swirling around each other, straight into my own heart.

Raven

A heart heavy with anguish, regret, hatred, and self-loathing, it was a heavy burden weighing him down constantly. This heavy heart would've been difficult for a hundred people to carry yet one man was the sole bearer of this. His sense of justice rang through his entire being stronger than almost every other feeling. Almost. Love was ever apparent along with loss it seemed to fuel the fire for his need for justice. Resonating within every nerve within him I delved deeper to see…to see who this amazing amount of love was for.

I found myself in a dark place, my soul emanating a purple light; I looked around searching for him, his honesty among the lies. Flashes of memories and feelings passed before me as I delved even deeper. His parents' death before his eyes the sorrow that was felt, and the comfort of a strange man that took him in. His beginnings as robin, the very first time he threw on a mask to the first criminal he stopped. He was proud to be at the side of his mentor, and being so skilled at such a young age. Yet the sorrow was always there…even in the happiest of times. His need to protect grew stronger and stronger every day. His time during the titans, how happy, angry and at times sad he'd been. He left feeling like he betrayed us… he couldn't bring himself to come back or even try to make contact afraid we'd thought he was a pathetic coward. He thought about us often. I saw all his recent memories to, the darkness inside he battled within, his nightly patrols where he felt most alone and the beautiful sights of Gotham he'd liked to go to. In all of these memories one face showed up more than the others and feelings that scared me came with this face… It was my face, me constantly in his head….in his mind I was beautiful my curves, my hair, especially my eyes… Why…I don't understand why am I in your heart and engraved in your soul? After all I've done to you even now, you're happy to be close like this again. Even after I saw the way I looked to him after seeing him again after so long he thought of me as a dark angel… Not the monster I always felt like.

I finally found him after delving to the very bottom of his heart, His soul shining a vibrant red a mere silhouette of him. It vibrated at the sight of mine, his soul having the same effect on mine. "Do you truly care, Richard?" I questioned wrapping myself around him. "I care about you, the old team…it all mattered to me….I just didn't have the right to be there anymore…. Angry as I was at myself and Batman. I couldn't do it anymore. I felt cast aside when he told me I couldn't be Robin anymore… It made me think that I wasn't good enough to lead you all anymore, but I still cared… and I always will. If you want to kill me do it… If this will make you happy then please do it… I never meant to hurt anyone… especially not you", his voice resonated around me as he twisted around mine as well. "I could never kill you… I never wanted to hurt you either. I-", He interrupted me "It's ok I get it, Raven, what is it that you're doing here, if not to kill me?"

"I wanted to know why you left… why you hurt me… and I missed you, Richard…" After I told him that I pulled myself out of his heart and back into my own body knowing that all he told me in there was the truth….I couldn't be angry anymore but the hurt was still there.

NightWing

"Do you understand, Rachel…? I'm not asking for forgiveness just understanding…" I stared down at her, my left hand cupping her cheek. "I'm sorry for everything…I just thought I … we meant nothing to you…"she spoke out loud her voice soft and sweet in my ears. We both stood staring at each other understanding registering in both of our eyes. I took her into my arms and held her tight as I could without hurting her or myself. "I never will not care about you or them… always know that if nothing else." I whispered into her ear. Her hands dug into my back as she started cry holding me closer to her. I felt her tears fall from her beautiful eyes onto my chest.

Well there it was, Did you all like it? I tried to make it to where she understood but still didn't really forgive him. Now this is where all the fun really begins ;) they are finally really about to interact. Of course other characters will be making their own cameos soon.

Let me know what you all thought I do read the reviews and try and work on whats there :).

Until next time
