Bird's Message

Robin's p.o.v.

"You were saying?" Raven looked back at me expectantly. I tried to hide the surprise to my face. A small smile barely touched her features; I guess I didn't hide it well enough. Somehow the confident Robin had left me, my quickly crumbling exterior was what I had left.

I had been amazed earlier. This girl in front of me, this half-demon, I didn't care what she was, she was still Raven to me. She had single handedly killed Slade, and then drained herself to the point of her own death to save me.

I didn't think I would ever be able to question her loyalty again. I would never be able to see her the same. All that we had been through. If our relationship hadn't been heading this way before it certainly was now.

And these memories of hers. They were so sad. Her mother's death, her father Trigon, all of her personal sacrifice. It was like the tiny part of an ice burg that I had reached. The chilly temperatures aside I wanted to know more now. I wanted her to let me in.

I swallowed hard. I had asked her up here for one thing. I needed to say it. Clever as she was she probably knew. Her eyes watched mine there was no hiding. I might as well just get this over with.

"Raven, we've gotten pretty close right?"

The dark girl nodded, she gave me an almost bored look. The kind that said 'get to the point'. I moved the hand that was on her shoulder to gently take her hand. It was almost unnatural that she allowed any physical contact at all. I had a fleeting thanks to Slade, at least something good had become of all this.

"When Slade had cut me, I truly thought I was going to die. The end of Boy Wonder, and I saw you, chained there watching me. It was the strangest thing I knew he would kill you next, I couldn't even think about the fact I was dying. All I could focus on was the fact that this girl that I loved was about to die, and I couldn't do anything."

I watched her the whole time. A pool deep of emotions was in her eyes. Usually she had it hidden, even in her eyes. That or she would pull up her hood. I felt a strange privilege as she sat there. Unmoving, willing to let me see the turmoil going through her. I wasn't even panicked about her response.

I had almost lost my chance once to tell her. I needed this relationship to change. It would just be worse to watch her live in loneliness if I didn't say something.

"Robin," Her voice rang finally. It was just above a whisper and softer than a monotone. The night cooled around me and stars shone brighter as the darkness grew. We were both watching each other. Raven seemed to come to some kind of conclusion, her eyes no longer a melting pot of curiosity.

I was stuck, Raven seemed to smile but before the thought made it to my mind it was gone. I might have imagined it. She seemed closer, but before I could react she had lightly placed her lips on mine.

It was only a brief taste of lavender, and a spice like cold fire. What made it more enjoyable was at the same instance I felt her mind enter my mind. It was like her way of showing me how she felt. I saw her mind a whirlwind of emotions. As much as she kept them from showing physically they were a mess inside her.

I caught a hint of adoration, or was it her love emotion? I recognized it as something of that it warmed in my mind.

She pulled back and the mess vanished. I was left with my vacant mind and her memories that had been left earlier. I smiled. Just getting that small look into her mind left me self-satisfied.

"So what does this mean for the two of us?" I asked finally. The dark night was still around us. Raven was looking away from me out at the darkened waters her pale skin a rose hue.

"I don't know," She had almost a sad smile on. I raised a hand to gently turn her face to mine. She bit at her lip a little, worried?

"I mean Raven I know you can't feel too much emotion."

She hummed a little nodding her head. My hand was still on her chin, the soft porcelain skin warm to the touch.

"But I can't just sit here and watch you alone, I have to try." My voice was surer than I was.

Her eyes finally met mine, she watched me a moment, the only sounds were of her cape moving with a passing wind.

"Do you know what you ask? Robin, this could mean your death; this could mean a million deadly catastrophes. I may have a better hold on my powers, but for how long? How long until I go mad and kill everyone because my emotions were untamed?" She blinked and kept her eyes shut a little longer.

"I'm willing to risk that, I want to help you Raven. I love you and no matter what I'd be willing to risk it to be with you."

I looked at her. She watched me longer. The moment lengthened and clouds passed over the moonlight drawing out shadows on the roof. She looked more beautiful when the moonlight sprinkled over her. It gave her an aura of a dark goddess.

"Then I'm willing to try," She seemed certain now. A small delicate smile brightened her features. I smiled and pulled her into a light kiss. It was more passionate than the last, making me hunger for more. One hand slipped through her hair, I tried to deepen the kiss. Her aroma was intoxicating.

I loud explosion was heard. We jumped apart. I looked over to see a blown generator. The pieces still rained from the dark sky littering where the generator once stood.

I laughed a little looking from the would-be generator to Raven. She smiled sheepishly. I raised an eyebrow.

"That wasn't the spell." Her voice was almost a purr. It startled me from her usual monotone. There was another explosion. I kept my eyes on her. She had stood up pulling her cape around her body but kept her hood down.

"Good-night Robin," Her smile looked a little dangerous now. I was only slight and vanished after I placed the image in my mind. She pulled up her hood and toward the door. I was still gaping when she disappeared down the stairs leaving me on the roof.

So were we going to try this?

I couldn't get the crazed smile off my face.

"Raven…" I watched the endless sky. Finally we had decided to try. I felt content, more content than I had felt in a long while.

I wondered if I should tell the other Titan's. Maybe only Cyborg for now. He might be the only one willing to accept it for now. I knew Star still liked me, and as for Beast Boy, you never knew about him.

I gathered myself together and stood up stretching my muscles. It had been a long day. I headed down the roof door my black bird had just previously traveled. Instead of going to my room I headed for the living room.

It was a little darker. The only light came from the over large television at which Beast Boy was playing video games. I shook my head.

"Hey where's Cyborg?"

"Kitchen," Beast Boy threw out with a temper. He had probably lost the last round of video games. He didn't take his eyes off the screen as he kept racing his car. I headed for the kitchen.

"Hey Cy," I greeted him, still smiling. He was digging through the fuzzy blue food in the refrigerator. Occasionally lumps of food were tossed out followed by mumbling about shopping.

"Sup Robin? You look pretty happy."

"Well yea, I just talked to Raven."

"I see," He turned toward me placing assorted food items on the stovetop. "Did you tell her?"

"Um you knew?"

"Of course, the attraction between you two had been quite disturbing these last few weeks."

I felt myself heat up. Why did he have to be so smart?

"Uhh yea," I smiled childishly.

"You going to tell the other two?"

"Not for now," I stretched watching Cyborg sift through the non-blue food for something edible.

"That's cool, but you might want to know something then."

"What's that?"

"Star still really likes you, I think she was going to try and catch you tonight to talk to you." He didn't look up from his scavenge.

"Raven took care of that," I smiled at the memory.

"Ok something else you might want to know,"

"Yea?" Cyborg had stopped and looked up to me. His expression was dutifully serious.

"She ended up in here a little earlier really upset, said she would be waiting to speak to Raven,"

This could be bad. Was Starfire going to yell at Raven? I mean with Raven's powers we didn't need the two of them to start fighting.

I turned to head for the bedrooms.

"Hey Rob," I looked back at Cyborg. "Be careful, when it comes to a guy girls can get a little aggressive." He looked serious but smiled quickly returning to his labor of food.

I rolled my eyes and headed up to the rooms. Cy was right though. What if the two of them started fighting? What if Star got over protective like she did when I took Kitty to the prom? I started faster up the stairs.

My boots hit silent and I made a sharp left down the hall. Raven's door appeared in the distance.

[All right, I thought I should have a little Raven-Star yelling match. Heh Star is a little weirdly overprotective of Robin after all. I was grounded again so that's why update took so long, but you guys are f/n awesome for putting up with me! And to everyone who had reviewed THANKS! Only a few chapters left I think?]
