Starfire flew up immediately and hugged her friend tightly. "You have returned!" She cried, as he tried to wiggled free. "Can't...breathe..." He was stuttering.

"Dude you're back," Beast Boy said, coming up to him. He didn't know what to do. Shake his hand? Stare? Make small-talk? "Where were you?"

"Off," he said quietly.

"Hey, man, don't be a stranger! You must be hungry!" Cyborg said patting him on the shoulders. "We missed you. It was weird how you left."

"Yeah," he said scratching his head nervously. "I just had to get away for a while."

"Ah..." Cyborg said as he opened the small refrigerator, "We've got week-old pizza..." he stood back, a strange look on his face. "And that..."

Raven cut him off, "What are you doing here? I told you never to come back!" She snarled at Robin.

Everyone looked over at her. What? She told Robin to leave? "Rae, what's going on?" Beast Boy asked softly.

"You told Robin to leave? Why Raven? Why would you do that?" Starfire screeched. She was amazed. Raven had never told them that.

Raven turned away from them. "Rae... I need to tell them." Robin said, his voice low and filled with sorrow. "And then I'll leave again. It'll be like I was never here.

"I told you to leave. I told you to leave and never return! Go away!" Then she twisted fiercely from them and disappeared into her room.

The Titans looked over at Robin, but he said nothing and quickly ran after his no longer friend.

Raven refused to open the door for him. And she wouldn't listen to anything he had to say, either. She knew what she needed to do. And she would. If Robin wouldn't leave, she would. So she quickly packed some of her things and decided to leave.

By the time her door was ajar, Raven was sure that no one was around to witness her departure. So she slipped into the hallway and headed to a large window at the end of the hallway. If she took the main doors, someone might see her and question her motives. She defiantly didn't want that to happen.

Of course, this plan wen to hell. Beast boy just happened to be coming out of his room and spot the Azrathian as she slunk tot he window. "Hey, Rae..." he saw the bag slung over her shoulder. His eyes dropped, "Where are you going?"

At first, Raven pretended not to hear him. But he persisted, running to catch up with her. "Rae...?" He put his hand on her shoulder, but Raven quickly shoved it off.

"Leave me alone," she demanded, walking away. Damn whoever constructed this tower! The hallways were too long! She quickened her pace.

"What's going on? Why did you tell Robin to leave? What did he do?" The green shifter was bubbling with questioning...and it was driving her crazy.

"I told him to leave!" She finally shouted, looking at him. "I told him to leave and never come back, but he did. So if he's not leaving, I am!" She turned away from him quickly, lifting into the air and to the window. But she was interrupted again.

Robin came out of his room asking, "What's with the yelling?" He caught sight of Raven with her bag. "Raven, where are you going?"

"Out."

"Then why do..." He began but couldn't finish his thought as Raven broke in.

"I'm leaving. I quit. I'm not coming back!" She shot a death glance at him. "That good enough for you?!" Finally! She had made it to the window. She quickly flung it open and prepared to fly off. But Robin stopped her.

Robin thought it was an okay thing to do. He only put his hand on her shoulder, but Raven thought of it as a sin. She flung around, a black form pushing him down the foyer. "Don't ever touch me! I didn't tell them anything. That was the deal. Now leave me alone!"

Starfire and Cyborg now erupted from their chambers to see what the commotion was. "Robin!" Starfire cried, running to his aid, where he had fallen on the floor. "Deal?" Beast Boy repeated softly. Raven had said something about a deal. He would leave and Raven wouldn't say a word? That's what it seemed to be. But for what? What had Robin done? It was a question that kept popping up, but never had an answer.

"I just want to talk," Robin said to her. "That's all. To say what I did, and leave." He looked into her dark eyes deeply. "It's eating away at me Raven. And I can't hold it back any longer."

She said nothing.

"Will you allow me to do just that?"

"Thing won't be the same," she told him, her voice back to normal. "Things with the team will be so different. I can't allow that. So either I leave, or you do."

"What if we want to hear?" Cyborg raised his voice to be heard. "What if we want you both to stay and tell this story you've been keeping?"

Raven landed on the floor and stepped back from the window. "But I'll still refuse."

"Then want are you planning we do?" Starfire asked.

"That Robin leave...now."

"But then we'll only bug you with answers," Beast Boy told her. "We'll still want to know the truth."

"And that's why Robin was supposed to stay away from this place."

"What if we vote?" Robin questioned, "One if I leave after I tell them." To this Rvaen grunted. But he continued, "To the other I leave right now. Who wants what?"

Raven was amazed. They had actually voted to hear this tale of a side of their leader they've never seen. They decide to hear it and, maybe, send him away. If she wasn't so mad, she'd laugh. They wanted to hear the story she'd been keeping secret for over a year. A secret she wish would just go away. But they wished to hear it. So hear it they shall. But, Raven was sure, once it was over, they would have wished that it was kept within her mind, locked away forever.
