Raven's p.o.v.

"…so then I revived Robin. However doing so spent my energy. Both of us must have slept the 3 days. Then I freed you three from the collars."

I had just finished off the incredibly long story. It had taken the day away with interruptions and questions. The sun had begun to set. Robin and I had taken turns telling because there were parts where I was unconscious or that he was not there. The other three titans gaped at us. I wanted to pull up my hood and hide myself desperately. However Robin looked like he was comfortable, mask-less. I figured I shouldn't cower if he didn't.

"Dude Raven you rock! Killing Slade like that!" Beast Boy quickly jumped up cheerfully. He gave me a quick hug before running around the living room dancing. I smirked watching the green boy, did anything even faze him?

"Yes friend Raven, Robin you both did terrific! I am only sad I could not help. But I must go make something for this great occasion! Robin will you come with?" Star floated up from the couch clasping her hands. It was true I had left out many parts of the story. For at least her sake, I kept the blood to a minimum, and didn't mention the chains on my wrist. They had been almost frozen, so none of them remembered anything after they got the collars on.

"Uh sure Star, but only a moment." He stood up giving me a look that said he'd be right back. I huffed it wasn't like I cared. Starfire happily pulled him into the kitchen. I laughed mentally at the thought of Robin being the first to try Starfire's 'pudding of happiness'. Each time was worst than the last.

"I'm guessing that was the tame version, cuts like that on your wrists don't get there by themselves." Cyborg still sat almost across from me. I looked up at him. He watched me with curiosity, once again resuming his charge as an almost older brother.

"Tame is an understatement." I whispered. I knew he caught it though. He smiled almost in a sad manner. He was less clueless as the other two; we had gone through hell to kill Slade and he could tell. Meaningful physical and mental changes had happened that day. He stood up and walked over to me. I received my third hug of that day. Yet I enjoyed his strong embrace making me feel safe and cared for. What was it with everyone and hugging?

What was wrong with me allowing it?

"I also understand the two of you risked your lives for each other." He sat next to me unallowing me to hide myself. I mumbled under my breath, for an older brother he knew too much.

"Raven did you even notice we hugged you and you didn't loose control?" That stopped me a moment. Why hadn't my powers gone crazy yet? I hadn't even got any meditation in yet.

"I think that let you get a better grip on everything." Cyborg smiled and stood up. He had heard the kitchen door open. "That spell only amplified real emotions." Was all he said before turning and walking the stairs to the rooms.

That was the weird thing about Cy. He could say something that would make sense only to you in that situation; I knew he meant emotions for Robin.

I took a deep breath still thinking. Sometimes I underestimated Cyborg. And then he came through as this terrific knowledgeable elder brother. Always ready to tell me the truth I don't want to hear.

"You'll never guess what just happened." Robin plopped down next to me. I really wasn't in the mood for guessing games. I raised an eyebrow giving him a blank look.

"Try me,"

"Starfire wanted me to go out with her tonight for a movie."

I felt a buzzing in me. Emotions were pushing at me. But they stayed behind the boundary, none of my powers reached out. Had I forgotten about Star? Wonderful Star whom Robin belonged to.

"I'm so happy for you two." My sarcasm was an all time high as I shot him a cold glare. My depression leaked in slowly.

"No, you don't understand." Robin made me face him gripping my shoulder stern but gently. His brown eyes watched mine and I actually felt vulnerable. I wished that I could just summon my cape up and run. "I turned her down, she's like a sister to me, and it's been that way a while now. Besides I already have plans for tonight."

I watched him. He was pulling something sly I could feel it. I watched him smile at me, vaguely I wondered if I should try to get into his head. I bashed the thought away; privacy was my biggest rule after all.

"Raven I really want to talk to you. I have a few questions." He looked genuinely curious. His change of subject made me question, but I didn't say anything.

"Roof?" I asked. He nodded. I grabbed his gloved hand and chanted in a low whisper. We rose out of the building onto the rooftop surrounded in black. The last traces of sunlight were dipping into oblivion as we landed. A sweet chill ran around in the newly night air.

We settled down on the end watching where the sun may have been.

"What's on your mind?" I finally broke the silence. Robin looked content enough to sit next to me all night. The cool alive darkness of everything was something we both enjoyed.

"Ever since waking up earlier today I have had these, like images, almost like a memory in my head. Except they aren't mine."

I turned to watch his features. He seemed to be thinking hard.

"Can I get a description?"

"There's a giant, red, with silver long hair, and a woman with deep purple hair like yours." He reached a hand to sift it gently through the ends of my hair. I closed my eyes a second settling on that one motion. Why was I allowing this? And how had he gotten my memories?

I remembered healing him. I went inside him with my powers, but had I really left some of me behind in him?

"Those are, my memories," I answered almost tentatively.

"I thought they might be, but how?"

"I had to go deeper with my powers into you to keep you alive, I must have left some of myself behind. If you like I can go in and get rid of them." I looked at Robin; he had left his hand at just about my shoulder.

"No, leave them. I like knowing a little about your past. And I thank you for putting yourself in danger to save me." He closed his eyes a second seeming to replay things in his mind.

"You welcome." I paused, and then decided to change the subject.

"Cyborg says I have a tighter hold on my powers now. I have felt odd emotions today with little effect from my powers. I can still feel them buzzing to get out, but not as sternly."

I felt like he needed to know. Letting people in was hard for me. But I owed something to Robin for almost getting himself killed to save me.

"I think you do as well. I wouldn't have been able to touch you at all today if they weren't." He smiled and turned to watch me closely. I felt heat spread to my face. I dearly wanted to escape now. These were dangerous subjects that the conversation was dancing by.

Azarath, Metrion, Zinthos. I chanted in my mind, in case my powers decided to act up. I became aware of our closeness and the way we were alone. I bit my lip slightly to keep from speaking my words out loud. Inside my head I rewound them again and again, although I really couldn't feel any resistance to my control.

"Raven, there was something I wanted to tell you earlier."

His voice broke into my half meditative mind. My eyes seemed to come into focus on his face again.

"Yes?" I watched. I tried not to seem too jumpy. But my mind kept working at an alarming pace. It was putting things together; I tried not to listen to it.

"Well it wasn't really earlier, more like three days ago."

"Was it what you tried to say before you passed out?" My voice had a little sharpness to it. Knowledge had spoken up telling me it was something big. Hope, adoration and happiness were filling my mind next.

With one round of chanting they were pushed out. I had a hard enough time dealing with one Raven in my head let alone three more.

"Yea," Robin seemed to inch closer. A blush had crossed his features. Recalling my memory there hadn't been a lot of times I saw him blush. He was never one to be embarrassed. This had to be something big.

Knowledge piped in an 'I told you so'. Chanting in my head I pushed it away.

"You see Raven I-" He was cut off, yet again. The roof door was clanging. Someone was about to come up. By the sound of happy calling it had to be Star, either finished with her pudding or wanted to see Robin about his turn down. Neither of the possibilities thrilled me.

I growled out loud. I would not have this pushed off. In a blaze of power black tendrils sifted quickly slamming the roof door shut and holding it there as if it were bolted. Star gave an indignant call. I felt my powers reach further to place her down stairs.

I let my anger fall. I turned back to Robin. He looked mildly surprised. His smile seemed a little nervous. He had probably realized there was no way out.

"You were saying?" I smiled slyly watching him.
