Song Used: Dashboard Confessional - Vindicated

The next morning, Robin slowly woke up, only to find himself laying next to Raven. She looked up at him as he jumped out of her bed.

"I-I'm so sorry Raven. You were vulnerable and I took advantage of you and I'm sorry." He muttered.

"It's okay Robin. I have to move on, I know that he would want me to move on. Over these past few months when we've been together, I could feel something that I haven't felt in a long time."

"What?"

"I think that I'm falling in love with you."

Beauty queen of only eighteen
She had some trouble with herself
He was always there to help her
She always belonged to someone else

Robin sat there thinking about what she just said.

"Are-Are you sure. Because I'm with Starfire." He trailed off.

"If you're with her, then why are you here with me and not with her. Why did you sleep with me last night if you're with her."

"Am I in love with Raven?" He thought after she asked him those questions.

"I guess I'm not."

I drove for miles and miles
And wound up at your door
I've had you so many times but somehow
I want more

Raven got up and walked over to him. She led him back to her bed so they could straighten everything out.

"I guess the only problem is how to break the news to Starfire." She said.

"Yeah, she'll be devastated."

"Well, you have to choose. Me or her, and you have to choose now."

"I guess I choose you." Robin said.

They leaned in and kissed again. Robin had fallen out of love with Starfire. He didn't want to, but the heart wants what the heart wants. Instead of calling and telling her, he decided to tell her face to face. He gave Raven a kiss before leaving to go break the news.

I don't mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
She will be loved

When he arrived, he searched the whole mansion but didn't find her. Thinking that she was on patrol, he started to change into his attire, but Alfred stopped him. He didn't say anything, he just gave him the not and left.

Robin raised an eyebrow as he left, then lowered his head to the note. He opened it and started reading it. The smeary make-up told him who it was from and what it was about. He didn't need to read it, so he crumpled it up and threw it away. As he walked downstairs, he saw Alfred and asked him for something to drink, but Alfred ignored him and walked away.

Tap on my window knock on my door
I want to make you feel beautiful
I know I tend to get insecure
It doesn't matter anymore

Knowing what Alfred was thinking, he picked up the phone and called Raven.

"Hello?"

"Hey Raven, it's Robin."

"So how did she take it?"

"She left me a note. When I saw that it was messy, I figured out that she must've followed me."

"Oh. Well maybe it'll work out better this way. You don't have to see her cry."

"Yeah." He said unenthusiastically. "I think Alfred knows and is mad at my decision, so can I stay with you."

"Sure."

"Thanks."

It's not always rainbows and butterflies
It's compromise that moves us along
My heart is full and my door's always open
You can come anytime you want

He hung up and went to his room to pack his stuff. When he got to his Robin costume he paused and looked at it remembering everything that he went through with it. All of their battles, through BB and Terra getting married, to Cy asking Raven to marry him, and now this. All of his pictures of when they were all together stayed there too, because they were too painful to look at, plus he was starting a new life. He left it where it was, he was giving up crime fighting too. All he wanted to do was be with Raven now.

As he left the mansion on his bike. He stopped and looked at it.

"So many memories." He said as he turned around and drove away.

As he drove, he kept thinking about everything that he's been through. He wondered if he had the chance to change everything, would he? He shook his head and kept driving.

Raven was standing outside when he pulled up to her apartment. She helped him carry his suitcases into her place. When they walked in, he looked around and he saw that she had remodeled , everything was moved around from where they use to be, and all of the pictures that she had were gone. The living room was spacious. There was a small navy blue couch against the wall with a black leather recliner to the left of it. Across from it, next to the door was a t.v., the same one that Cyborg built for her. The next room he walked into was the dining room. It no longer had a large table, now it was a medium one with two chairs.

Her kitchen was the only thing that was the same. All of her cooking appliances were black, the stove/oven, her microwave, and her fridge. Her bathroom was simple, there was no make-up in there, except for some purple, blue, and black lipstick and eye-shade. The bedroom just had a bed in it with her drawer for her clothes. The pictures that she had of Cyborg weren't gone, they were just placed down so you couldn't see the picture.

Raven was in the living room reading while he was placing his suitcases in the closet.

"I think that I should go look for a job." Robin said as he came out.

"Yeah, but what job? If you join the police force or become a fireman someone is bound to figure out who you are because of your physical skills."

"True."

Robin sat in the recliner next to Raven and rocked back and forth while he thought of which job would be best for him.

"Maybe I'll look in the papers for a job."

"Or maybe we can go out tonight and celebrate our relationship." Raven said with a smile.

He nodded in agreement and they left to go out on the town.

I don't mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
She will be loved

As time went by, they became as close as can be. Robin found a job working at a supermarket and Raven continued being a librarian. Two years later, Robin asked Raven to marry him. Not even remembering what had happened three years ago, she happily accepted. They sent invitations to their friends, or at least who still was. Several members of the Justice League were going, Batman and Alfred were going too. They sent an invitation to Beast Boy and Terra but they declined.

Beast Boy and Terra still visited Cyborg. They knew that they were the only ones who were visiting him now, but he needed it. It was the day of Robin and Raven's wedding, but they decided to spend it with the man who should be married to her than with them.

"I think it's selfish of them to get together." Terra said as she and BB were walking to the hospital.
"I agree, but I can understand them too. They both are the closest to Cy and while comforting each other they fell in love. The only person who was really selfish is Robin because he has or should I say had Starfire."

"Yeah, I wonder where she is."

"I don't know, but I hope she's doing okay. I'm just glad that Cy has been showing great improvement."

"Yeah I know. The doc said that he could wake up in a few months if he continues at this rate." Terra said as she wrapped her arm around BB's.

The hospital was quiet and clean as they walked in. They waved to the workers that knew them the whole time that they had been visiting.

"You go on to see Cy, I'm to the cafeteria to get something to eat." Terra said as she let go of BB and headed down a separate path.

BB was almost to Cy's room when he heard voices coming from Cy's room. Fearing the worst, he ran as fast as he could. When he got there, he saw several doctors standing in front of Cy's bed. They heard panting and turned to see who was at the door. When they moved, BB saw Cy fully awake and sitting up in his bed.

"Hey B. Long time no see." Cy said weakly as BB's eyes started to water.

Beast Boy took off to go get Terra, but he had to double back when he went in the wrong direction. Cy smiled as BB ran past him again. He turned into a cheetah and ran at full speed to get Terra who was paying the cashier.

"Terra! Come on!" BB grabbed her hand, making her drop her food as they flew out of the cafeteria.

"Beast Boy what's wrong?! Why are you doi-" Terra yelled as she was having trouble trying to keep up with BB, but stopped when she saw Cy awake.

They ran over and hugged Cyborg as hard as they could. For three very long years they visited and it was all worth it.

"We missed you man! You don't know how hard it was without you!" BB exclaimed while he hugged his best friend.

"Don't ever do this to us again!" Terra exclaimed.

"I won't, I won't, but where are the others?"

BB and Terra looked at each other with wide eyes.

"The others!" They yelled at the same time.

"Wait right here Cy! We're going to get them!"

"I don't think I have much of a choice B." Cy said as they ran out of his room.

They ran to Beast Boy's car and got in as fast as they could. He put the pedal to the metal and drove off towards Metropolis. Terra used her cell phone to call Raven at her apartment, but there was no answer because she was getting married.

"There's no answer."

"Try again."

Terra started to dial but stopped.

"Ugh! Stupid me! We forgot that she's getting married to Robin today!" Terra said after smacking her forehead.

"Oh yeah." BB thought. "Look in the glove compartment. Their invitation should be there."

Terra pulled it open and sifted through the stack of papers. A few minutes later she found it and gave BB the directions to it. On the way there, they were stopped by several police officers for speeding, but when they saw who it was and the reason they got a police escort.

Normally it would've taken four hours to get to Metropolis, but because they were going at full speed, it took a third of the time.

"I just hope we're not too late." BB said as they jumped out of the car

"But shouldn't we wait until after they're married?" Terra asked as they walked towards the church.

"No, because how do you think Cy would react to that, and Raven should know that the first guy she was going to marry is awake. It should be her choice on what to do because she may end up regretting that she married Robin without knowing that Cy is awake."

"I guess you're right."

When they got there, they looked and saw that Robin and Raven were standing at the altar. They could hear the minister talking when they looked in the window.
"If anyone has just cause why these two should not be wed, may he speak now or forever hold his peace... well then, I know pronounce you husband and wi-" The minister said before he was interrupted by BB shoving the doors open, making everyone look at him.

"Wait! Raven you can't marry him!"

"Why not?!" Robin asked angrily at Beast Boy.

"Because Cyborg is awake." Terra said as she walked in from behind him.

I know where you hide
Alone in your car
Know all of the things that make you who you are
I know that goodbye means nothing at all
Comes back and begs me to catch her every time she falls
