Date of Disaster.

They had gone to the cinema. Scarlet was delighted, as she had never been to one before. Half way through the film, Robin placed his arm around the girls shoulders. Scarlet met his eyes as, without warning he kissed her. I can't believe this is happening. The girl smiled to herself, never had she been so happy in all her life. But that feeling quickly faded….

Scarlet stared at her own reflection. Her face was pale, eyes wide, covered by random stands of chaotic dark hair. Cool sweat dripped from her head on to the sink below. Gripping the taps, she allowed the cold water to rush against her hands, before splashing it on to her face. What am I doing? she wondered. The girl continued to stare at herself in the mirror, hating the person staring back. This isn't me. She told herself. Yet every fibre of her body was telling her that yes, this was indeed the person she was. A murderer. No. She cried as her fist collided with the mirror, sending pieces of broken glass spiralling across the bathroom floor. Releasing what she had done, the girl rushed out of the bathroom, trying to avoid the stares she was getting.

On the other side of the door Robin was waiting patiently. Checking his watch every other minute, he wondered if it was normal for girls to take so long in the bathroom. As soon as the ladies door swung open and Scarlet emerged, Robin leaped to his feet.

"You okay Raven?" his hand rubbed against her scared face. The girl pushed him away.

"Get away from me," her voice trembled.

Robin had a look of confusion on his face. "Did I do something wrong?" he whispered.

Scarlet shook her head.

"I thought you were having a good time…with me,"

"I was, I mean I am," the girl shook her head. "I don't know what I mean,"

"Hey," Robin took her hands, and held them above his chest. "Tell me what's wrong,"

"I can't," Scarlet shook her head. "I thought that you would make everything okay, but you can't,"

Robin rubbed her hair, puzzled. "What do you mean Raven?"

"There," Scarlet screamed, shoving Robin into a wall. He climbed back to his feet, his shoulder was aching badly. "What did I do, Raven?"

"You just like everyone else," Chairs swung into the air, aiming for the boy wonder, who narrowly missed them. "No one cares about me,"

"That's not true, I think I love you,"

Scarlet shut her eyes, blocking out the tears. "You love Raven. Not me,"

"You are Raven," Robin protested.

"No!" she reopened her eyes. A furious glare upon her pretty face. "I'm NOT!"

The ground cracked and splinted apart at Robin's feet. Robin gasped in horror. "Raven, please stop, innocent people could get hurt!"

"I don't care!" Scarlet screamed back. Behind Robin the roof fell down, the boy immediately jumped into action, shoving to others out the way.

"Titans! I need back up!" he yelled into his communicator.

"On our way!" Cyborg reassured him.

"Hurry!" Two doors lunched themselves in his direction. Robin could have easily missed them, but suddenly he couldn't move. Staring at his feet, he saw a dark coil holding his feet in place. "Oh, boy," he whispered. "This is going to hurt,"

By the time the Titans had arrived, Scarlet had managed to calm down. She hovered in the corner of the room, where Robin lay, unconscious but still alive.

"Oh my god!" Beast Boy rushed to their side.

"What happened Raven?" Cyborg inquired calmly.

Scarlet shook her head. "I don't know. One minute we were and then…." tears fell from her eyes. "I couldn't stop myself,"

"Wait a minute!" Cried Beast Boy. "You did this!" he pointed at her.

Scarlet turned away.

"Fear not, friend!" Cheered Starfire. "I sure that it was an accident,"

Cyborg knelt down besides the Titans leader, checking him over. "As far as I can tell it's just a bump on the head, but we're better take him to a hospital just in case. C'mon Titans!"

"No," Beast Boy jumped in front of Scarlet. "You attacked him. I want to know why!"

He declared.

Before Scarlet could answer, Cyborg had spoken. "BB We don't have time, Raven can explain later,"

Starfire placed her arm on the green boys shoulder. "I am sure that an accident," she said more sternly.

Beast Boy glared at the girl he thought to be Raven. "What did you do to Terra!" he growled.

"Nothing! I didn't do anything!" Scarlet took a step back and held her arms up in defence.

But he wasn't falling for her act. Not this time. Not while Terra was out there somewhere. Without warning he had turned into a gorilla and had the girl pinned down.

"Terra's missing, you've just attacked Robin! What I'm not suppose to think this is connected! I want answers Raven!"

"We all do," The woman stepped into the building. "But that's not Raven,"

That's all for now!!

Remember to be nice and review!
