Sorry for the wait! I usually don't take this long to update. In case you were wondering, don't EVER listen to 'Painted Black' while your emotional. Unless you're in a controlled environment, it will always lead to something bad. Anyways, PLEASE REVIEW! Also, I will have more action in later chapters (like after this one) so be patient. So, without any further delay...

Disclaimer: I think D.C. comics ownes Teen Titans. So since I don't own D.C. comics...


Raven came out of her meditation felling refreshed. It was the first time in a while that the Tower was quite and she decided to take advantage of it. Raven looked at the clock and saw that it was about 7:00 PM. She left her hood down and walked out of her room.

She found Cyborg, still glued to the TV playing his game. His eyes looked like he hadn't blinked in hours. The sounds of his metal hands banging the buttons on the controller were the only sound in the entire room. Raven made a mental note to thank Cy for turning the volume down. Raven entered the kitchen and made herself a cup of herbal tea. She sipped the bitter liquid and thought about her task at hand.

'I need to talk to Robin...' Raven took another sip of her tea as she remembered the way Robin was in the training room. 'What ever the problem is, it must be bad. I am going to need to be very delicate with this.' Raven took another long sip of tea and then set the cup down on the table. Then it dawned on Raven, 'Why am I so interested in his problem? It's his problem, not mine. I shouldn't be concerned.' Raven leaned against the counter and looked at the ground in thought. 'So why do I feel the need to go to him?' Raven thought of her fearless leader. They way he had always been there for her. The way he trusted her. The way he always respected her privacy, even though down inside she wanted Robin to know more about her. She really wanted to be closer to him.

Raven lifted her head with her eyes wide in shock. She had a crush on Robin. Her mind was swirling as this idea sunk in. Raven pushed herself off the counter and stood up. She was going to need to sort all this out later, but first, she needed to check on Robin.

Raven went to Robin's room and knocked on the door. When she was meet with no answer, she opened the door. She stood in the doorway and looked around his dark room. The walls were covered in newspaper clippings and there was practically no furniture in his room. She walked over to the one desk that stood in the middle of the room. It was covered with various pieces of his many gadgets. Raven got a strange felling of admiration for Robin.

'He's so focused.' Raven thought. 'Every thing he does he puts so much determination into. He always keeps his cool in battle, and seems to always be there for us.' Raven felt a light smile come to her face at the thought of her leader. Raven closed her eyes and quickly shook her head. 'He's not in here' she thought as she turned to leave the room.

Raven then went to the training room to see if Robin was there. She opened the door and found the room empty. She was begging to worry. 'If he's not in here, than that leaves only one place.' Raven walked away from the training room and headed for the roof.

In Town

Yin and Starfire walked away from the bright lights and loud sounds of the carnival. The setting sun was casting a shadow on jump city as the streetlights flickered on. The two walked side by side under the little light that was offered by the city.

"This was truly a wonderful day, Yin. I have not been to a carnival in such a long time!" Starfire said as she smiled and turned towards Yin.

"I had a feeling you'd like the carnival." Yin said, as he turned toward Starfire. "I had a great time too. It's been so long since I have been able to express my emotions. And I'm really glad I got to spend it with you."

Yin's eyes went wide when he realized what he said. He was about to say some thing when he noticed that Starfire was looking down at the ground.

'Is she...smiling?' Yin thought as he looked down at Star. Starfire looked up at Yin. She was indeed smiling. And blushing.

"I am glad to have spent it with you as well." Starfire said. The two just stared into each other's eyes. Yin could feel himself glowing white.

"You're glowing," Star pointed out, grinning even wider.

"I know." Yin said. He offered his hand to Starfire and she accepted it. Then the two walked off towards the Titan Tower, hand in hand.

At The Tower

Raven opened the door to the dimly lit roof. The only light was that of the almost gone sun. She looked around and spotted Robin's utility-belt on the ground. Her eyes grew wide when she saw him standing on the ledge of the roof, looking down at the ground. Robin heard a noise from behind him and looked over his shoulder to see Raven, looking wide eyed at him. He turned around and stepped down from the ledge of the Tower. Robin held an emotionless look on his face as he walked over to Raven.

"Do you need something?" Robin asked in a cold tone.

"Robin, I...I need to know what's going on." Raven said as she took a step out of the doorway and onto the roof.

"None of your business," Raven was taken aback by how cold his voice was. But she wasn't going to give up.

"It becomes my business when my leader looks like he's going to jump off a tower..." Raven gestured toward Robin's discarded belt, "and without your utility-belt." Raven moved in closer to Robin and looked into his mask. "What's wrong?" Robin knew he was beat. He let out a deep sigh.

"I didn't mean it. We had a fight, and I said we should stop seeing each other, but I didn't mean it. I was just angry. And then the next day she..." Robin stopped and took a deep breath, "was with him." Robin said the last word like it tasted bad in his mouth. "She seemed so happy with him, and I was just to afraid to apologize." Robin let out a soft, quick laugh. "You know, its funny. I'm supposed to be the one that can solve all the problems. The one who isn't afraid of anything." Robin shook his head. "I'm just a coward. I don't deserve to live."

"You are anything but a coward." Robin was surprised to hear such a soft voice come from Raven. "I've seen you take on monsters with nothing more than that stick of yours. You're the only one of us that wasn't given powers. You worked hard to become the person you are." Raven lifted her hand and placed it on Robin's cheek. "Don't just throw that all away." She knew she was showing more emotions than she should be, but she didn't care. She was just happy to be with him.

"It's called a Bo staff, not a 'stick'." Robin said, with a smile on his face. Raven returned the smile, and the two of them walked back into the tower.
