Chapter 22

Notes in the dark

Crow acted quickly and ran over to where Robin lay and tried to restrain him with his hands. Robin continued to scream and tried to place his hands over his face, but Crow stopped him at the last minute.

"Terra" Crow said as he held Robin down and looked over at the terrified blonde girl, who was just staring down at Robin in shock.

"No Robin…" she gasped quietly as she slowly took several steps away from Robin, the blood continued to flow from the deep slash in his face.

"Terra!" yelled Crow as he grabbed her arm and snapped her out of her trance, "I know your scared but I need your help"

"I'm ok what do want?" Terra stammered as she looked down at Crow and tried to ignore Robin's screams and the blood on Crows hands.

"Quickly go and wake up my sister she is the only person who can save Robin now" relied Crow as he took away his hand and used it to stop robin from touching the wound, "Robin your going into shock you have to try and stay awake" was all he kept saying as he tried to stop Robin from rolling about on the ground.

"Why can't you save him I mean you're the same as Raven right?" asked Terra as she looked down at Crow who had his hands full with Robin.

"My powers can only bring pain and destruction" sighed Crow as he felt robin relax slightly in his grip, "Now quickly wake Raven". Terra just nodded and ran over to the wall where Raven was chained.

"Sorry about this" whispered Terra as she used her powers to shatter the wall behind raven, therefore releasing her from her bindings but also covering her in rubble.

"Come on Raven wake up" whispered Terra as she dug Raven out and gently patted her on the cheek. Raven slowly opened her eyes and looked up at Terra, who had a huge smile on her face.

"Terra?" groaned Raven as she sat up and rubbed the back of her head, "What are you doing here?"

"No time to explain come on Robin needs your help" Terra replied quickly as she grabbed Raven's arm and dragged her over to where Robin lay. Crow quickly put his hood over his head and hid his face, he didn't want to make his presence known to raven just yet it could have distracted her.

"What happened to Robin?" demanded Raven as she pulled her arm free from Terra's grip and looked at her.

"See for yourself" replied Terra as she pointed down to Robin, who was being held down by a hooded figure. Raven gasped as she looked at his face and saw the huge slash that went across both of his eyes, she couldn't bear to listen to his screams of pain.

"Robin" she screamed as she dropped down to her knees beside him.

"Raven…Raven where are you?" stammered Robin as he desperately felt about for her.

"I'm right here" whispered Raven as she gently took hold of his hand and held it against her face.

"Are you ok?" Robin asked weakly as he smiled slightly at her.

"I'm fine how about you?" Raven smiled as tears fell from her purple eyes.

"I'm doing good" smiled robin as he used his other hand to caress her face gently.

"Raven he won't last much longer you must heal him" Crow said as he placed his hand on top of hers and Robin's.

"I can't his wound is too sever" replied raven as the tears flowed from her eyes.

"Yes you can" replied Crow as he took off his hood and smiled at her, "I believe in you". Raven smiled as she looked at her brother and then looked back down at Robin was still smiling at her, the blood was flowing down his face. Raven closed her eyes and prayed for the strength to save Robin as she placed her free hand over his face.

"Azarath Metrion Zinthos" chanted Raven as she opened her yes and revealed that they where glowing white with energy. She felt her power seep from her fingers into Robin's wound. Crow smiled as he took a step back and held Terra close to him.

"Come on Raven" he whispered as he sensed her power flow from her fingers

"Yeah Rae you can do it whispered Terra as she watched in awe a pair of brilliant white wings explode from Raven's back. Raven just continued chanting even as her power exploded in a brilliant white explosion that engulfed the room in a brilliant white light. Crow used his cloak to shield both his and Terra's eyes from the light, but he could still sense Raven's power. The light slowly began to disappear and the room was filled with silence as Raven collapsed onto the floor beside Robin, her wings slowly disappeared.

"Robin?" she asked softly before she blacked out from exhaustion.

Genesis looked up at the sky and allowed her tears to fall to the ground whenever she saw a brilliant red lightning bolt streak across the sky.

"It has been done" sighed Chaos as he wiped away his own tears and looked over at Raziel, who was standing partly in the shadows.

"Raziel" commanded Chaos as he watched Raziel step out of the shadows and look at him.

"Yes?" asked Raziel as he dropped down to one knee and bowed his head down low.

"Go to Titan Tower and inform his friends of what has happened" replied Chaos as he motioned for Raziel to stand back up, "They have a right to know" he smiled as he looked over at his sister, who just smiled back and continued t cry.

"Are you sure?" questioned Raziel as he stood back up and looked at Chaos.

"Yes" sighed Chaos as Genesis pushed herself against his body and cried.

"Very well" smiled Raziel as he turned and left the cemetery and made his way to Titan's Tower.

"Now his real battle begins" wept Genesis as she and her brother slowly disappeared into the shadows.

"How's he doing?" asked Cyborg as he saw Beast Boy and Starfire enter the living area.

"He is sleeping soundly" smiled Starfire before she let out a huge yawn.

"How about Raven?" Cyborg asked as he tried to hold back a yawn of his own but failed.

"She's asleep in Robin's room, she said she doesn't want to leave his side" yawned Starfire in reply before she floated into Beast Boy's arms.

"Yeah and sleeping doesn't sound like a bad idea at the moment" yawned Beast Boy as he caught Starfire and kissed her on the cheek.

"Yeah we should all get some sleep it has been a rough night" Crow said as he stood up from the couch and looked over at Cyborg.

"Yeah I'm pooped" yawned Terra as she also stood up and stretched her arms.

"Ok then you and Crow can share your old room Terra" smiled Cyborg as he watched them both blush furiously. he then walked over to the wall and entered the security codes and locked up the Tower.

"Well folks we are now locked up so I shall bid you all a goodnight" yawed Cyborg as he made his way to his room.

"Goodnight" chimed Starfire as Beast Boy carried her to their room. Crow and Terra looked at each other and quickly looked back down at the floor blushing.

"So you wanna sleep on the bed or the floor?" asked Terra as she rubbed her arm nervously.

"I'll take the floor if that's ok with you" smiled Crow as he looked up at Terra,his eyes still firmly closed. Terra just smiled back at him and lead the way to her old room.

Robin shot up in bed and panted heavily in the dark. He slowly opened his eyes but only saw darkness still. He slowly ran his hands over his face and felt the scar that was left by Nightmare's final attack. He felt like screaming in rage at being blind until his hand brushed against something warm in his bed. He carefully used his hands to feel who this person was and smiled whenever he released it was Raven sleeping.

"Raven" he smiled as he gently leaned down and lay his head down next to her hair, "She does smell like lavender" he smiled as he gently inhaled her sent into his body. He slowly raised his head and got out of bed, making sure he didn't wake hr up.

"I'm going to miss that smell" he sighed as he pulled out his bo staff and used it to find his way over to his desk. He fumbled about and knocked over several small potted plants. He cursed silently under his breath and hoped that the sudden noise wouldn't wake Raven. When he was sure she was still asleep he began to write something on a piece of paper and placed something in a large envelope. He wiped away his tears whenever he finished his task and carefully made his way back over to Raven.

"Forget I ever existed" he whispered as he leant down and gently kissed her before he left the note under her arm and left the room. He slowly used his bo staff to help him find his way through the dark, it seemed like it took forever but he finally found his way to the living area.

"Goodbye guy's" he whispered softly as tears fell from his blind eyes. He walked over to the kitchen table and left another note addressed to the entire team. He wiped away his tears and made his way to the front door. He took one last look into the Tower and then disappeared into the night, leaving the it quiet and still once again
