By: Raven612

A/N: From here on I'm going to have a tie in with some books called Daughters of the Moon to help me explain the black figure I hope no one really objects. I'm trying to fix my grammar but um I don't really know what I'm doing wrong he he, shrinks back from computer well read and review and give me some clues as to my grammar mistakes. Thanks!

Raven had trouble sleeping and decided to get out of bed and sit outside in the cooling breeze. She stepped gingerly onto her floor and tiptoed to her door and slid it open. She stepped into the hall and bumped into Robin.

"Uh, Raven," He stuttered a little startled.

"Hi Robin," she muttered as she took a step back out of his chest.

"Where are you going?" He asked her.

"Outside for some fresh air, I couldn't sleep." She answered.

"Mind if I join you?" he asked.

"I guess not, but why are you up at this hour?" she asked looking at him curiously.

"I couldn't sleep either." He admitted.

"Oh," she muttered turning on her heal and walked down the hall with him following behind her.

"How do you feel?" he asked eager to fill the silence.

"I'm okay, how are you doing?" she asked looking back at him.

"I'm doing pretty good." He lied scratching the back of his neck. "I just wish I knew what the thing is that controlled Star." He muttered opening the door to the roof as Raven stepped through and muttered her thanks.

"It's an Atrox," she said as she lowered to the cool cement and allowed the breeze to blow her hood down and ruffle through her hair, "he is a shadow monster, he sucks the hope from people he finds worthy of being his followers and the ones who prove more loyal then the others will get his greatest gift, immortality." She explained.

"Go on," he urged sitting next to her.

"Have you heard the legend of Pandora's Box?" she asked turning to face him.

"Yes,"

"Well they say that the last thing to leave the box was hope, the Atrox was made to destroy hope, but the daughters of the moon stopped him, ever since then he has been invading the shadows and looking for the remaining goddess's and turn them to followers." She said and once she finished turned to Robin to see how he had reacted.

"Daughters of the moon?" he asked looking at her.

"The moon goddess, Selen, fell in love with a very handsome Shepard named Endymion, every night she would leave the moon and go down to him, well Zeus was angry at Selen because she would leave the moon to see her lover. Zeus decided that he had enough and cursed Endymion to sleep forever. Selen would leave the moon still to try and wake her lover but she couldn't. Selen and Endymion had many, many children and all of whom were girls, they were the goddess's sent out to concur the Atrox." Raven said out of breath.

"How do you know all of this?" he asked her.

"Mythology used to be my favorite subject." She smiled turning her head back to the night sky. "It's a full moon, the goddess's powers are strongest now." She whispered basking in the moon light.

"Wow, that information may help us in defeating him." Robin said.

"Maybe," Raven muttered.

"It's late, I better go back in now," he sighed pushing his hands to ground so that he could push himself up, but before he could get to his feet he felt Raven grab his hand.

"Stay here for a little bit it's such a beautiful night." She said turning to face him.

"I um, well, I, uh guess I could stay for a while." He smiled sitting back down next to her.

"Thanks," she whispered to him as she turned her head back to the night sky and watched the stars twinkle around the moons face.

"Are you sure you're okay?" he asked looking at her and watched her hair blow around her face.

"I'm fine, night is when I can feel like myself." She whispered turning to look at him. Robin noticed her eyes had more of a spark in them.

"You can always be yourself." He whispered watching her eyes.

"I know night is when I feel comfortable." Raven smiled.

"I like you best when we have these moments." He whispered his hand sliding over hers.

"Thank you," She blushed furiously.

"Why would you feel more comfortable at night?" he asked.

"It's in my blood I guess, I was born at night in the light of a full moon (not sure if its true but it seemed right to say, oh and sorry if it's Raven and Robin are OOC but I had a huge urge to put some major fluff in this chapter!)." She sighed as a strong gust hit her back and sent her hair whipping around her face and her cloak spinning around her. Robin stared at her thinking that she was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen.

"Raven, you look very um...., beautiful tonight." He whispered turning to face her.

"Thanks," she said blushing.

"It's true," he sighed sliding closer.

"Um..." she began, no one had ever talked to her like this before and she had no idea how to respond.

"It's okay Raven," he said searching her face for something to tell him which direction he should go in.

"I'm sorry I just never had anyone say anything like that to me and I don't really know what to say." She said hoping he wouldn't be disappointed.

"It's okay I understand." He said smiling.

"Well the sun is coming up I suppose we should go in and get breakfast started." She announced rising to her feet and brushed the dirt from her cloak.

"I'm game," he smiled as he rose, Raven was about to walk away when he grabbed her arm.

"What is it?" she asked startled.

"Nothing, I just want to do something I've been dreaming of for a long time." He said smiling and pulled her closer. She rested the palms of her hands on his chest. She could feel the beating of his heart, her lips parted slightly and she watched his face. He leaned down towards her; she kept her eyes open as he shut his. She watched as he moved closer and closer. She closed her eyes and felt his lips brush hers, it was gentle at first and then it grew into something wonderful. Raven fought hard to control her emotion. When Robin pulled away he smiled and stared into her eyes for what seemed and eternity.

"I think we better start breakfast before Beast Boy and Cyborg decide to." Raven muttered and turned to walk away but Robin still held her hand. She watched her hand wondering if he'd let go. He didn't and they walked back into the tower holding hands.

A/N: Okay that was OOC but it had to be because I wanted some major Fluff, from now on I think I'm going to have the Raven at night and the Raven during the day is totally different. Is that okay? Oh, bloody-rose- demon, you weren't mean you were nice! I was talking about the person that called me a sorry excuse for even a loser and the one who called me a motherfucker. Those reviews hurt, lol well I hope to hear from you all soon! Love and Peace! Oh how did you guys like the whole Atrox explanation thing? No ones mad right? Well let me know in your Reviews!
