Don't yell at me! I can explain! ... ... ... Yeah!

: Big breath:

I have been swamped with so many things over the past few weeks, like having two summer jobs and volleyball camp and church's youth group and going to summer camp and doing my chores around the house and trying to visit my friend Chey who broke her leg and regular church and weddings and camping everywhere and still trying to find time to sleep and eat and write this story, plus "Deadly Pause"!

: Faints:

: Gets back up:

Anyways, so please do not be mad at me if I don't update as much as you would like. Sweat drop

P.S. My computer is STILL being a bitch (Can I say that?) so don't be surprised if you see more 'Lineseperater' things. : Sweat drop:

Random quote #7: "You always have to say things for yourself in life because no one else can say them the way you can." –Anonymous.

'Lineseperater. Lineseperater. Lineseperater. Lineseperater. Lineseperater. Lineseperater. Lineseperater.'

There was the sound of a door slamming shut and hurried footsteps coming towards them before the four Titans knew what was going on, before they even noticed Raven had left her room.

Now they stood alert and motionless to the noises coming down the hall, unsure of what they might see.

Then the girl appeared before them, face set in a determined and unwavering look, walked briskly past them and down the stairs.

The four blinked, surprised at the dark one's actions. Starfire was the first to speak.

"There are many things on Earth I still do not understand," She said slowly, eyes staring where Raven had just been. "But Raven's recent actions have made me very confused indeed."

Beast boy and Cyborg nodded in agreement.

"All in favor of following her and finding out what's going on, say I." Robin said looked toward the other three half-smiling.

"I." Everyone in the room stated in unison.

'Lineseperater. Lineseperater. Lineseperater. Lineseperater. Lineseperater. Lineseperater. Lineseperater.'

Raven walked quickly down the stairs, feet making soft 'clicking' noises with each step. In her mind, she played countless scenarios over and over again; never quite sure which one was the worst.

All she knew was that she had to get some answers from her father before she started judging him.

She reached the door, looking back up the stairs only once, and then she was off.

'Lineseperater. Lineseperater. Lineseperater. Lineseperater. Lineseperater. Lineseperater. Lineseperater.'

Raven's feet touched the ground in front of a huge-no, enormous building, where lights dazzled her eyes and signs hung from the windows.

The signs said many things and among them were:

"WELCOME TO THE COLLISINAMO!"

"BEST HOTEL IN ALL OF GOTHAM CITY!"

"CHILDREN STAY FREE!"

Raven ignored the flashiness of it all and slowly made her way to the front entryway. There were two men, clad in the usual uniform of a hotel's "door-opener", standing still right in front of the giant glass doors which led into the hotel.

She walked up to them and was about to pass, when one of them stepped directly in her path.

"I'm sorry miss," He started out. "But I'm afraid that you cannot enter the Collisinamo (he pronounced the name with a Italian accent, but she know he wasn't from Italy.) without a parent or guardian."

Raven scowled at him. Didn't he know that she was a Teen Titan?! Didn't he know that she was on a chase and that many people's lives were at stake?!

"Wait a second Charlie," The other "door-opener" said, walking up to them and putting a hand on "Charlie's" shoulder. "I think we should let her through."

'Thank you!' Raven thought to herself, relieved.

"But why, Joe?" Charlie asked in a bit of a whine. "She's just a young girl and you know what Mr. Dykes says about children. 'The must have an adult preset, with them, at all times.'"

Raven was really starting to not like him.

"I know the rules." 'Joe' said, slightly miffed at Charlie's whine also. "But you see, this girl is special. She's a Teen Titan."

Charlie's eyes grew to the size of large eggs as realization dawned on him. He looked at Raven, then to Joe, then back to Raven again.

Finally after what seemed like ages, he moved to the side, flustered and embarrassed, a blush creeping to his cheeks.

"I am sorry for the mix up, miss." Charlie said, not looking her in the eye. "Welcome to the Collisinamo."

Raven nodded, feeling cruelly happy on the inside, and walked passed him, through the glass doors, and into the hotel.

'Lineseperater. Lineseperater. Lineseperater. Lineseperater. Lineseperater. Lineseperater. Lineseperater.'

Cyborg turned another corner, hands tightly gripping the wheel of the T- Car for fear of losing control at the speed he was going.

Beast boy sat beside him, seatbelt on, hands clutching the seat for fear of being flung out the window.

Robin followed closely behind, his R-Cycle revving loudly underneath him.

Above them, flew Starfire, who normally couldn't fly as fast as she was, but her heightened emotions about the situation with Raven allowed her to do so.

They were all determined to find out exactly what was going on. One way, or the next.

'Lineseperater. Lineseperater. Lineseperater. Lineseperater. Lineseperater. Lineseperater. Lineseperater.'

I'm sorry that it's a bit short, but I had to end it there. Too much stuff would have happened if had kept on typing. And you all know I love suspense! : Evil laugh:
