The Slade-bot handed Raven over to Slade. Slade looked down at her, his eye no longer cold but worried. He felt a pang of undescribable pain shoot through his heart. He held Raven close to his chest and brushed some of her silky hair out of her face. He got a look at her. She was absolutely stunning. Even when she was beat into unconsciousness by a group of droids she was still dazzling. Her ashen skin glowed giving her an exquisite aura. He brought her over to her bed and layed her down. Looking over any wounds he backed off as he saw Raven begin to float over the bed. She looked as if she was an angel who had been doing this forever. He sat down in the dark corner of the room. His eye not leaving her for a second. Making sure that she was safe. Nothing would ever harm her if he had anything to say about it. He watched as she stopped floating and started to wake up. He wouldn't be able to tell her he loves her. But he would make sure to watch her from the shadows and keep her away from harm. He stood from his seat and pushed open the door to exit the room as Raven was steadily waking. But again he felt a jolt of pain shoot through him as Raven uttered a simple word "Robin".
Slade had never really liked Robin, but now that it was his name coming from her lips, he shook with anger for a mere moment. Then he slumped. He watched the two birds grow closer this whole time and allowed it. It was his own fault. But then again, he knew that there was a perfectly good reason for which he never tried to seperate them. He realized that he and Raven could never be, so he looked back, Raven's eyes were still closed and she was groaning. He left his final blue rose; which he found was near one of her books, in her hand and left the room. His eye reflecting bitterness and hurt, exactly what he was feeling right now. It was a sign of his soul shattering as well as his heart, and he was helpless to prevent it. He closed the door behind him and missed Raven, who was clutching the rose in her hand tightly, small droplets of her blood staining the stem as she now murmered "Slade".
At Titans Tower, Robin was in Raven's room trying on one of her cloaks. For a second he thought he heard his name. Most likely through they're bond. He stopped and looked around to make sure. He then heard 'Slade' and his fists clenched automatically. Where was Raven and what was Slade doing to her? He would have to find her and bring her back to the team but most importantly to himself.
Raven looked at the rose. She could see some of her blood on it. She looked around the room wishing to see Slade standing somewhere there. But he wasn't. She figured he put the rose in her hand and left as she was healing herself. She stood up sitll a tad bit sore from her hassle earlier. She grasped the door knob still holding the rose and had a brief vision. She saw a swirl of emotions in her head. There was guilt, and jelousy. Sadness and love. She shook her head and was left with the image of Slade's mask in her mind. She blinked and opened the door.
Stepping out slowly she made her way down towards the monitoring room where Slade usually was, scanning and watching places to gather info. She went in and gazed at Slade who had his back to her.
"I'm glad you are finally awake. There's been a change of plans, you are free to rejoin your friends and return to being a Titan. They will be overjoyed to see you, especially Robin. As you will be thrilled to see him." Slade spat the last part out malignly. Raven detected a hint of envy in his voice. What or who did he envy? A look of confusion crossed her charming features at that. She took a step closer, the thorns of the rose digging into her palm.
"You... you want me to leave?" Raven choked out fidgeting.
"I have no need for you to continue to remain here. I've made some changes to my plans and you will not be required." Slade turned fixing his piercing glare upon the vixen of his dreams.
"You really want me gone? But why?" Raven asked saddened.
"I already told you, I have no need for you. You are nothing to me now." Slade tried in a more casual tone.
"You don't mean that. I know you don't." Raven hled the blue rose to her heart.
"I do. You should leave now, before I make you." Slade turned his back on her once again.
Raven felt her eyes water slightly. Which hadn't happened since she last fought her father. She remembered that although Slade had helped bring him up, he had also helped put him away. She looked back at when he had been slammed into a rocky wall and she had watched in fear. Pleading for it to have been a silly nightmare. And now he was throwing her out? What had made him change his mind so easily. Why was he talking to her like that. Why did she even care?
"I don't know why you're doing this, but I do know that you don't mean a word of what you just said." Raven sniffled faintly. She looked even more shocked when she caught sight of the ends of Slade's bo staff shoot outward on either side of him. It was then that she realized that no matter if he meant it or not, he did infact want her out. She however wouldn't let him do this. Dropping the blue rose she projected her soul self into Slade.

A/N: Ok, like I stated in a previous chapter, this is all written as I go along. I don't have it planned or anything. So I just think of something, especially when listening to music, and just start typing. Oh well, review!
