Disclaimer: You know the drill.

Okay, fighting scenes are not my best, so I'm sorry if they suck. Also, I have no earthly idea what that metal stick thing that Robin wields it so I'm just gonna call it a metal stick, okay? No getting on to me about it because I don't know what it's called.

================================================================
The Titans were losing. And against the H.I.V.E., which made losing even harder for Robin. He had been slammed against the wall so many times he was staring to get dizzy. Beast Boy morphed into a T-Rex, and smashed Mammoth into the wall with his tail.

Gizmo was busy hot wiring Cyborg and Robin was trying his best to dodge Jinx's magic.

"Man, this is getting boring. Where are the other two? Now they were fun." Said Gizmo, jumping off Cyborg's back.

Cyborg lay on the ground, motionless. Gizmo had done something so that the metal teen could not move.

Jinx sighed. "You are right. Without the Goth and alien, it is not entertaining. Where are the other two?"

Robin wiped blood of his lip with the back of his hand. "Their not here."

Jinx rolled her eyes. "Really? I didn't notice."

Beast Boy glared at Mammoth, then Gizmo, and then Jinx. "Why would we tell you where they are?" Mammoth roared, grabbed Beast Boy by the neck, and threw him to the ground.

Robin grabbed his metal stick, twisting it in his hand. Jinx rolled her eyes, bored at the fight. "Well, defeating you will be fun, so I should not complain." Jinx, Mammoth, and Gizmo attacked.

The Titan's last thought before the H.I.V.E. were, we need Raven and Starfire to win anything.
================================================================
"Raven, it has been two hours and they have still not returned home from battle!" Starfire said, scrubbing the floor as if it was her worst enemy. Ever since the guys had left, Starfire and Raven had been cleaning the entire tower, from scrubbing to vacuuming the carpets.

Raven sighed, throwing down the cloth she had been cleaning the counter with. "Star, I don't know." Everything was spotless and Raven had nothing else to clean. So, she started to pace. "Maybe we can go find them."

Starfire groaned. "If we had our powers, maybe we could fly to them and help. What if they are hurt and unable to do battle? What if they are getting 'the butt kicked' instead of them 'kicking the butt'? What if...?"

"Starfire, shut up!" Strafire blinked, not used to Raven's temper.

"I have had it with you always complaining about not having powers! Their gone! And we will probably never get them back so just drop it!"

Starfire slammed down a fist, standing up and glaring. "Raven, I have never mentioned our powers since it happened. You act like it never happened, well, guess what? It did! And I could care less if you don't want them back, but I do! So, for just a minute, quite thinking about you and think about the team!"

She made her way to Raven, standing in front of her, her green eyes flashing. "Without our powers, we are useless! We cannot help the team, or protect them! I know this is the first time you can show emotion, but without your powers, the Teen Titan's are no more! Think about it! We were usually the one who wore the villain out and the rest of the team defeated it! They can't do that know, because we aren't there! What are you going to do when someone is seriously hurt because you have been too selfish to get your powers back? Are you just going to sit there like you are now, doing nothing? Are you going to let innocent people die because you finally got what you wanted? If so, I don't want anything to do with you.

"With or without you, I am going to get my powers back, if not for me, then for the rest of the world I protect!" Raven was shocked beyond compare. Starfire had never once raised her voice. Never. And here she was breathing fire from her mouth.

Beast Boy, Robin, and Cyborg stood in surprise at the door. They had just walked through in when Raven had blown up.

Starfire took deep breaths to control her anger. Never in her entire life had she been so mad at a teammate. And Raven was the on to spark up her anger. She clinched her good fist, then opened it. Her nails had cut into her skin but the pain doused her anger. At least for now.

"What are you going to do, Raven? Are you going to be selfish? Or are you going to do the right thing. Frankly, I don't care what you do. If I have to, I will do this on my own."

Raven kept her chin up even though she wanted to drop it in shame.

"It is not my decision to make, Raven. Only you and what you do is your business. I'm tired of caring." Starfire stepped back, and glanced over Raven's shoulder. The glare left her eyes and worry replaced it.

She ran over to the guys standing in the doorway, checking for wounds. Cuts and bruises mare their skin, except for Cyborg, but he looked weak. "Oh, what happened? Are you all all right? Is there anything I can do for you?" Robin smiled, shacking his head. He started to walk, but groaned and dropped to the floor. Starfire caught him before he hit the ground, grabbing him around the waist and putting his arm around her shoulder.

She helped him to the couch and sat him down gently. Worry flashed in her eyes. He smiled, but it was full of pain.

"Don't worry, Star. I'm fine. Really." But his eyes betrayed his words.

"Robin, please, what is wrong?"

He sighed, cringing slightly. His back and legs felt like they were on fire. He knew his back was bruised, but his legs, well; he had no idea what as wrong. "We were no match for the H.I.V.E., that's all."

Star drew her brows together. Robin was not taking defeat well. "Would you like something to eat? I promise I won't make it." He gave a small smile. "That's would be fine."

Raven watched everything from afar. Was Starfire right? Of course she is. You're being selfish, Raven. You're risking every one's life for your own pleasure. Without your powers, the team is being destroyed slowly. She swallowed hard.

Starfire helped Robin to his room while Cyborg dragged himself to his room to be recharged. Raven glanced at Beast Boy, who was holding his left shoulder. He sat down on the couch, staring out the window at the lights of Jump city.

Slowly, Raven sat down beside him. "Beast Boy...I know you heard. Do you think that Starfire is right? That I'm being self-centered?"

He turned his head and watched her, her eyes drawn together in confusion. He didn't want to talk about it, but he knew she needed it. "Raven, we don't even know where your powers are or if you can get them back, so don't worry about it." He stood up and was about to go to his room, but Raven cried, "But I need to know!"

He sighed, sitting back down on the couch. Her violet eyes started to water and her lower lip was trembling.

"Raven, your not being self-centered. You just love being able to show emotion. And, nothing I say can change what decision you make." She lowered her eyes.

"Beast boy..." She brought her chin up. "I need to take them back, don't I?" Tears fell from her eyes. "I mean, if losing innocent lives and putting you in danger is what I'm risking, then...I need to get them back, no matter how much it hurts."

Beast Boy wiped the tears from her cheek. "Raven, it's up to you what happens." She nodded. He stood up once more, but Raven pulled him back down and kissed him.
