sinomin: That is probably my fav part so far in the whole story.
Clyresta:Thanks
Daughter of a demon: Yeah. I'm trying to devlop it while at the same time tell you some of it was already there. I never like stories where out of the blue they are in love. I think its something that occurs over time and you slowy begin to see what was there for a long time. That's what is happening here.thanks
Jinnx: Yeah, I love foreshadowing. Its usually in every chapter I just make it real subtle.
Aquarian17: Yeah Raven feels mush, just doesn't show much. We'll get more from out villian soon . . . and I like him to.
sophie: Aw thanks
Song Of Sorrow: Yeah . . . editing is not my strong suit. I'll need to pay closer attention in the future
AtlantaGeorgia: Thanks.
Red X: I think something like that is in the future.
sisteralways0894: Yeah . . . good thing Raven is so powerful otherwise nice Rebecca would have gone splat
Tokyo Blue: Here is a fluff chapter with more fluff/action to come.
Disclaimer: I do not own the Teen Titans
Robin and Raven sat quietly during the long ride back to the hotel. The next day was going to be busy for both Titans. They needed to do some research on possible suspects based on Raven's knowledge of the villain. Somehow, they also would require a list of Mrs. Hasting's stolen jewelry and search the internet and local pawn shops where the villain would most likely try and sell the goods. On top of all that they needed to make some more appearances in Gotham's wealthy society . . . perhaps go to the country club and such. The car pulled to a slow stop in front of the hotel and a moment later an employee wearing a bright red and black uniform opened Robin's door. With his mind so deeply immersed in his plans, Robin did not notice immediately that Raven was not moving to follow him. He turned and saw that she was fast asleep leaning against the car's window. The sight brought a small smile to Robin's lips.
He then carefully scooped Raven into his arms and lifted her out of the car. Her face was relaxed and unguarded . . . deeply in the realm of sleep. While he moved her she never woke, but instead snuggled into his arms burring her face in his chest. With the help of a hotel employee Robin got Raven up to their penthouse without waking her. What she had done in their brief encounter with their criminal must have taken a lot out of her. Robin carried Raven into the bedroom that was hers and placed her carefully on the top of the bed. However, he could not bring himself to leave her side quite yet; therefore Robin sat on the edge of her bed and watched her sleep for a few minutes. She looked heavily . . . a dark angel. He felt at home by her side, which was an odd feeling for Robin to feel. Never in his whole life had he felt that way. Every place he ever lived was just some place he laid his head down at night. They never felt like his home. Even the Tower at times seemed like a residence, but here in the warm dark room next to her, Robin knew what home felt like. With earthshaking certainty, he knew in that moment that he could be home at anyplace as long as she was by his side.
If Robin was being completely honest with himself Raven was the most important person in his life. How and when that happened he was not sure . . . probably over time in small degrees. They were the two closest Titans . . . they had an unbreakable bond that at times seemed to go both ways. He was consciously and subconsciously aware of her. He usually could tell how she was feeling and what she was thinking despite her emotionless mask. He knew exactly how he felt for her . . . he was in love. All he needed to do now was to get her to admit to what he believed she felt for him.
A quiet yawn escaped from his lips alerting Robin that he was also extremely tired. Robin leaned down and kissed Raven on her forehead before he left her room and closed the door behind him. Now, gone from her smell and presence Robin felt his mind begin to turn. There was so much needed to be done before he could sleep. However, before he could submerse himself in work he heard a strange ringing coming from his room. Robin dashed inside and found the device emitting the strange noise. It was the cell phone he had purchased for the mission because their communicators would be turned off. Robin flipped it open.
"HHHHHHello," he said.
"Robin? Its Cyborg" the voice on the other side said.
"Is something wrong?" Robin demanded instantly alarmed.
"No, no," Cyborg said quickly. "I was just calling to see how you and Raven are doing."
"We are fine and making some progress in the case. We won't be back for a while though." Robin explained. The way the case was moving it might be a week or two more.
"Oh . . . everything is great here. It seems . . . empty without you guys. Not a lot of criminal activity either. Can I tell Raven hi really quick?"
"She's fast asleep actually. We had an eventful day. I'll tell her you asked for her. That will make her happy."
"Would you? Thanks man. We'll I'll let you get some sleep. Don't forget to check in with us every once in a while."
"No problem,"
"Alright, bye,"
"Bye," Robin said and closed the phone shut.
It was good to hear from someone in the Tower. Robin had been so focused . . . on the mission . . . and Raven . . . that he forgot to give them a call to let the team know everything was okay. Robin glanced around his room until he found all the paperwork on their villain and began to update it with what they had learned that night. Hours passed before Robin fell asleep at his desk. He slept and dreamed of the girl of his dream . . . a girl with purple hair and a sarcastic wit. He dreamed about a girl named Raven.
Well wasn't that a fluff chapter. Some development of Robin's feelings and we learn exactly what he has come to realize he feels for Raven. As for Raven . . . you get that sleep girl. I thought it was a cute idea. We even got to hear from Cyborg even though it was quick. There will be more from the other Titans back at the Tower in the future. Well more action and romance in comming up as I hinted at in the first paragraph. I hope you all liked this chapter and I promise the next one will be longer.
