Thanks for the reviews... Here's chapter 2!
"You heard that... We love each other, and we discovered this two month ago..." Raven listened silently; she hadn't noticed nothing, as usual. Sometimes she asks herself if she really know with whom she was living: friends or strangers? She was always on her own, trying to avoid her emotions, but it was so hard living alone; always in the crowd but alone at the same time. But now she had to listen to her friend: she was crying now. Raven sighed. "I'm sorry, Star... Maybe I'm not the best people to talk with but... stop crying, there's nothing to be worry about... Everything will be all right. Have you already talked to Robin?" "No... You decided to talk you before... I was so worried... Nobody talked me about those things before... My mother died when I was just eight, and my father when I was twelve... My sister was too busy for caring about me..." So this was Star's story. She knew it already, but listen her talking about that was a different thing. She felt sorry for her: at least, they have something in common.... She was also confused: she didn't knew what she'd have be in a situation like hers, she would have probably kept everything for her. Or not? Maybe Star was a friend for her more than she would admit. "Star, I'm sorry... My mother died when I born, and my father... Well, he was too busy in destroying worlds to explain me something" Star laughed a bit. "I didn't knew you were able to make someone laugh..." Raven smiled "Neither did I..." The two girls looked each others, and then they started crying. They cried for a while, on the floor of raven's room, together. Raven stopped crying for first: she was able to control her emotions. She was a little angry and sad now: angry because it was unfair that they had to grow up alone, angry because she left her emotions free, even if for a minute. She was sad because she didn't knew what to tell to Star, and because she hadn't knew her better. "Stop crying, Star" said in the end "Everything will go all right... I don't know how, but... trust me: you have a group of friends that cares about you, a boy that she loves you, and I would do everything you'd ask me..." "Thanks, Raven... But for now don't say anything to nobody, especially to Robin" "All right" The rain was still falling outside the window.
Some day passed, and Raven was quiet as usual, at least the others hadn't noticed nothing different in her or in Starfire, but Raven was more careful about her: she did everything to avoid her any problem. She also started to see Robin in a new way: she hated him a bit, because he've done something to her friend, he made her suffering and he haven't even noticed it. Every night Star entered in Raven's room to chat a little or just to sit down and meditate with her. Raven was happy of those visits, even if she didn't showed them, as usual.
Everything was quiet, in those days, like all the villains the Teen Titans have fought before were somewhere else doin' something else: Raven was happy about this. She feared that something could hurt Star, and her baby. Now it was a little more clear that she was pregnant: her tummy was a little bigger than usual, but the boys haven't understood what was going on: they thought that Star was just a little fat. Maybe Robin started to understand something, but Raven didn't read in is mind what he knew, because she respected Star's decision.
It was raining again, that day. Raven was meditating with Star when they heard the alarm bell ringing. "What's happening" said Star, a little worried. "Let's go and see". Raven put her hood on her head: she knew that something was wrong, somewhere. They reached the others in the main hall, and asked Robin what was happening. He replied coldly, with hate in his eyes: "Slade". No. Not now, thought Raven. She looked Star, and she nodded her head. She had understood: "no dangerous mission, all right", were the words in Star's eyes. "All right Titans, we've trouble at the dock" said Robin. "What kind of trouble?" "We don't know, B.B., but be ready for a fight: it's Slade, I'm sure. Teen Titans, go!"
