Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.

I found myself in the all too familiar Titans Tower Hospital Wing. I was sick of a lot of things at this point but none of them could be fixed by being in the infirmary. I stood up wobbly but determined to find a way to stop this so I went to the place where I get all my best ideas: the roof. The team didn't stop me as stormed out of the room. Once on the roof I sat in my meditation position. I wasn't sure if anything good was going to come this but I was damn sure that I would stop at nothing to get the answer that was eluding me. I closed my eyes preparing for whatever attack Slade had planned but that effort was wasted when I felt some one standing behind me and I didn't need to turn around to know it was Robin who's conflicting emotions hit me like a punch in the stomach causing me to fall to the ground with a thud. Robin was at my side in a matter of seconds.

"Raven I'm sorry this is a bad time isn't it. I knew that I shouldn't have come here" I looked at him narrowed eyes. "and you want me to be quiet or get to the point."

"How could you tell?" I said in my classic monotone as he helped me up.

Robin intertwined his fingers in mine.

"Raven, I know you said that we're superheroes and stuff... well let's not be just for a moment."

"Okay. I'll play along with this."

Robin removed his fingers from mine to take off his mask revealing his deep blue eyes which gazed into mine.

"Hello I'm Richard. How are you?"

I cracked up even thought it was a laughing matter it just seemed so strange to see Robi- I mean Richard like this. I decided that my search for answers could rest at least until this was over. I took off my cloak and tucked my hair behind my ears but let small portions of it hang loosely in my face.

"I'm okay. I'm…I'm Rachel…Rachel Roth."

"Rachel, that's a beautiful name. Well Rachel would you want to hang out with me sometime?"

His smile was breath taking so I couldn't resist.

"Of course."

"Great then I'll pick you up at eight."

Richard became Robin and I became me again...if that made any sense.

"Raven, seriously I'm sorry and I was hoping that we could give this another try."

"Robin I don't know maybe we should just take things slow this time. So how about friends?"

"That sounds nice."

I stood on my tippy toes and quickly kissed Robin on his lips and held him in it until I was breathless.

"So much for taking it slow, Raven."

We both laughed. I smiled up at him and said

"Old habits die hard Robin."

I walked away and that's when it hit me. I had to fix the broken pieces of glass that was our team by gluing it back together. In your face Slade! But I didn't get too happy just yet after all I was about to enter a mine field in my next endeavor: talking to Starfire.
