Do We Know Each Other?
Chapter 4
"Hello, I'm very sorry for the wait," The Teen Titans looked up to see a bald man in a wheel chair was wheeling himself over to them. He smiled. "Raven, correct?" He was looking right at her.
She blinked. "Yes,"
"Rogue, please take the others into the kitchen, I'm sure they're very hungry,"
At the very mention of food Beast Boy shivered. Rogue smiled, and leaned close to his ear. "Kitty's a vegetarian, she'll get su'm f' ya," He blushed.
"Raven, please come with me," And the man turned around.
"Come on, guys," Rogue said, walking in the opposite direction.
Robin hesitated and looked behind him. Raven looked over her shoulder and they locked eyes. For the first time Robin saw something he hadn't in them before: fear.
-----------------------------------------
"Where's Raven going?" Robin asked Rogue, who was putting peanut butter on a piece of bread on a cutting board, her back turned to them.
"Ah wouldn't know," She said quietly.
The swinging door opened and a girl walked in. "You, like, needed me, Rogue?" She asked.
Rogue looked up. "Yea, ya got another one'a them veggie burgers?" From the sound of veggie Beast Boy looked up, by the word burger he was practically beaming.
"I think so," The girl leaned against the wall and gave Rogue a suspicious look. "Why?"
"What else am Ah supposed ta give a vegetarian?" She asked with a shrug.
The girl's eyes got wide. "Vegetarian?" She squeaked and looked at the Teen Titans sitting at the table.
Beast Boy waved his fingers and smiled uneasily. "Heh," He managed.
"Oh.My.God," She said. "Who are they?" She asked, emphasizing 'they'. "Did you, like, bring more home 'er somthin'?" She asked.
Rogue's face turned red and she gripped the butter knife in her hand. "That," She said slowly, "was only Remy, an' YOU know it,"
**REMY?!** Beast Boy thought, **WHO'S REMY?!?**
"And," Rogue went on, "Ah'm not th' one who lets Pebble Boy climb in through OUR WINDOW," She said.
The girl's eyes narrowed. "How many burgers you want?" She asked.
--------------------------------------------------
"Ah'll be rihght back," Rogue muttered as she flung open the swinging door.
"Okay," Cyborg said, eyes wide and an anime bead of sweat on his forehead.
"We've got to find out where Raven is, I don't like this," Robin said, more to himself then to the others.
Beast Boy looked down at his half eaten veggie burger. "WHO'S REMY?!" He asked it in mock confusion. Suddenly the door opened and a gust of wind blew sent some napkins floating to the floor. Beat Boy looked up with narrowed eyes. The refrigerator door opened then shut, a cupboard opened and shut, and then the door opened again, a cup still rolling in the sink.
"What was that?" Cyborg asked.
"Rogue's boyfriend I think," Robin said with a shrug. Beast Boy cringed.
"He's not her BOYFRIEND," He said angrily. "He's her...her...FRIEND...that happens to be a-"
The door opened. Everyone looked up to see Raven in the doorway.
"What's wrong?" Robin asked, standing. She just shook her head.
"Raven?" Cyborg asked.
"It's fine," She sat down in a chair. Robin looked down at her.
"What happened?" She ignored him.
"Where did you go?" Starfire asked.
Raven ignored her and looked to the floor. "Pietro?" She asked, referring to the scattered napkins.
"Yea, I guess," Cyborg said.
----------------------------------------
Something was different about her. Yes, something was different.....or the matter. She had something on her mind. She also wouldn't make eye contact, which Robin had made a point of trying.
"BB, you're pathetic," Cyborg chucked.
"AM NOT!" Beast Boy protested.
"I agree with Cyborg, Beast Boy, you are very pathetic," Starfire joined in.
"Raven?" Robin asked.
She looked up. "What?" Annoyance was clear on her face and in her tone.
"Are you okay?" The conversation stopped around them. She stared at him for a few moments.
"What?" This time she was truly surprised.
"Are you okay?" Again Raven didn't answer, but seemed to be searching his eyes. "What happened?" She bit her lip and looked down. "Come on, Raven, what happened?"
"Nothing," She mumbled. "I gotta go," And she got up. Robin grabbed her wrist.
"Rae," He said.
"Robin, just stop," She said, shaking her head a little. Her fingers slipped out of his and she walked out of the room.
-----------------------------------------
"Who are you?" Robin asked the girl who walked in the kitchen.
"Jubilee, you?" She asked, opening the refrigerator door. "Damn," She muttered, closing it.
"Where's Rogue??" Beast Boy asked.
The girl shrugged. "I saw her runnin' up the stairs awhile ago," She turned around. "Wait, did Rogue bring you guys?" Robin nodded. "Then that girl's with you, right?"
"What girl?" Robin asked.
"Uh...purple hair, cape thing..."
"Raven?"
"Sure, but she's with you, right?"
"Yea, why?" Cyborg asked.
"She just left,"
"What?!" Robin stood. "Where?"
"Come on," She walked out the swinging door. Cyborg hesitated, but got up anyway.
------------------------------------------
"She went out there," Jubilee said, opening a glass door. "She looked pretty upset too,"
"Thanks," Robin said, and ran down the path leading to the side yard. "I got this one," He said over his shoulder, leaving the others standing there. He had to go this one alone. She would talk to him....right?
-----------------------------------------
Robin ran down the path, past flower beds and trees for about five minutes. He slowed down to a walk. He stopped. There, to his left, was Raven. She was sitting under a tree, knees pulled up to her chest, arms crossed over them, head resting on top.
"Raven?" Her eyes shot up and she pushed against the tree trunk.
"God," She muttered and buried her face again.
"What are you doing?" He asked.
"Go away,"
"Why? What happened?" He knelt down beside her.
"I like trees, so sue me,"
"Come on, Rae, what'd he say?"
"Who?"
"The bald guy..."
"Professor Xavier," She said.
"Yea, him, wha'd he say?"
"Nothing,"
"I'm sure he said SOMETHING," He touched her arm.
"Don't," She looked up with wide eyes and inched away.
"Tell me what happened," He asked again. She took a quivering breath.
"He wants us to live here," She whispered.
"Why would he want you then?"
"There's...something else," She looked up at him. "I don't wanna hurt you, Robin," She said. After a few seconds of silence Robin got the hint she wasn't going to tell him.
"You can tell me, what happened?"
----------------------------------------------------
RM: I know I know, a bit o' OCCness on Raven's part, but hey. Don' worry guys, I've got more comin' soon! Somebody yell at me if I don' have chapter 5 up by Wednesday March 17, will ya? Thanx! PLEASE don't forget to review!!
