Chapter Ten

I do not own teen titans or DC comics. I would like to say thank you particularly to Telegirl and wolvmbm. Thank you for sticking with this and all the reviews! Now for the story here it is. Enjoy!

______________________________

The titans returned home after another long day of searching for Raven. Starfire and Robin had gone straight to bed. Beast Boy and Cyborg stayed in the commons room. Terra hadn't come home yet.

"BB," Cyborg said once they sat on the couch. "I don't think, we're going to be able to find her." he said placing a hand on his shoulder.

"We have to. We at least need to know why she left." Beast boy said jumping off the couch.

"BB, I don't.."

"Can't you see, it's killing me!" Beast Boy exclaimed.

"You look fine to me." came a voice from behind them.

"Raven?" Beast Boy said unsure as he turned around.

It was her.

"RAVEN!!!" he exclaimed as he tackled her with a bear hug. (literally)

Cyborg walked over to the two of them, calling for the others to come.

Once Beast boy stepped back, he saw she had a few more cuts and bruises than when she left.

"Raven! Your hurt!" Beast Boy exclaimed looking at a cut on her forearm.

"It's nothing. I need to talk to Robin…" she started. Just then Robin and Starfire walked into the room.

Raven walked up to Robin immediately and pulled him away from the rest of them. She spoke quietly so the others wouldn't hear.

"Robin, we need to talk."

***

Beast Boy, Cyborg, and Starfire were waiting in the commons area while Robin and Raven went off to talk alone.

Unbearable silence filled the room.

"So…" Cyborg started. "Why do you think she wanted to talk to Robin? Alone."

"Who knows." Beast Boy replied. "I'm just glad she's back!"

"I too express joy for the return of our friend." Starfire exclaimed.

"But nothing makes sense. Why did she leave in the first place? That's what I want to know. And why did she come back?" Cyborg brought up.

"Hopefully that's what Robin is finding out." Beast Boy said, turning on the T.V.

***

"Raven, what's going on?" Robin asked once they were in the interrogation room.

"Robin, I need you to just listen to me right now. Please don't interrupt me."

Robin remained silent and nodded his head.

"Ever since Terra returned I haven't been able to sleep and I couldn't help but wonder who it was that set her free." Raven began in a rush.

"Did you find out?" Robin asked. He couldn't help himself.

Raven gave an annoyed stare and continued. "Yes. I did."

"Who?" Robin jumped in again before she could explain.

"Brother Blood. He is the leader of a cult that worships my father. He has many of the same powers as me and knows quite a few tricks and spells. Affecting my sleep and releasing Terra are a couple of examples. The only reason I found out was because he was the one who attacked me along with his followers."

"Okay, that explains who? But why did you run away? And why did you return?"

Raven was silent.

"Raven you can tell me. I'm your friend. I need to know."

Raven gave a sigh. "I felt I had been replaced by Terra. I felt like I was in the way." Raven said not fully explaining the extent of her emotions. There was no time. He needed the rest of the story. Now.

"Oh," Robin said softly. "We didn't mean to. I guess we were all so happy to see Terra again." He said pausing. "I thought you said you were okay with her being back."

"I said I didn't blame her for what she did in the past."

"Then what is it?" Robin asked quizzically.

"I'm jealous."

"Of what?" Robin asked.

Raven blushed. "Of beast boy." she confessed. She suddenly tensed. "If you say anything…" she warned.

"Don't worry I won't tell a soul." Robin promised.

"Good, now I need to tell you the most important thing."

"What is that?" he asked.

"It's about Terra."

***

Terra finally returned back to the tower. It was past midnight.

"Terra! Where have you been?" Beast Boy asked.

"Looking for Raven." She said plainly.

"Guess what!" Cyborg said.

"What?" Terra asked nonchalantly.

"Raven is back!" Beast Boy announced.

"What?!" She suddenly exclaimed. "Where is she now?"

"She said she had to talk to Robin. So she is." Cyborg explained.

Terra walked back the way she had come and headed to the interrogation room.
