Special award for CloudsHalo for longest review I've ever received. Also, someone asked me how I knew Speedy was Green Arrows sidekick. It's because I surf the net...A LOT. I knew his alias thanks to Raven A. Star. Now, on to the story.


Robin lay staring at his ceiling. The radio was blaring heavy metal and he was counting down the seconds until Bruce yelled through the door to turn it down.

'3...2...1...'

"ROBIN IF YOU DON'T TURN DOWN THE MUSIC I SWEAR I'LL THROW THAT STEREO OUT THE WINDOW ALONG WITH YOU!!!"

Robin chuckled and turned down the volume. It wasn't that he enjoyed making Bruce angry, but it took his mind off everything. 'I really should get a better hobby than this. Tennis maybe?' He looked out the window and a snowflake floated past the window. He jumped up of his bed and got a closer look. Snow was slowly covering the ground like a soft blanket. The lake was completely frozen over and ready to be used for ice sports. 'Maybe I can take Raven out there one day.'

Raven rolled over and groaned into her pillow. She could feel the dress's fabric tickle her ankle. She sat up and looked around. The black tuxedo jacket she was wearing caught her eye and she back-tracked through the previous events. 'The lake. He took me to the lake and put his jacket on me. What happened next? We talked and then I...I guess I fell asleep. He must've brought me back here.'

She looked around the room once more and saw snow falling onto her balcony. She stood up and gently slipped off the dress and pulled on jeans, a red top and her favorite snow boots. They resembled Uggs and Starfire had forced her to by them on a trip to the "Mall of Shopping". She pulled Robin's tux jacket back on and started to undo the lock on the balcony door.

'This jacket smells like him,' she thought and smiled to herself. 'Maybe I don't need to return it just yet.'

---

Robin glanced at his clock. He'd heard Raven get up through the wall and guessed she might be on her balcony about now. 'I need to talk to Bruce about the walls. They're too thin; you can hear everything without even trying.' He jumped off his bed and cautiously opened the doors to his own balcony. Sure enough, there was Raven, standing in the cold surveying the snowfall.

'She's still wearing my jacket, but she's changed clothes. Does that mean she put it on on purpose?' He smiled giddily to himself. 'Maybe I mean something to her after all.'

"We've got to stop meeting like this," he stated. Raven didn't turn but instead kept looking out at the now frozen lake.

"I don't mind," she replied. "I like talking with you. It's...nice." She finally turned her face towards him.

"Really?" he asked. Careful to close the doors behind him so as not to let in the cold.

"Yeah," she answered.

"I see you're wearing my jacket," Robin observed. He heard Raven sigh.

'Great, I suppose he'll be wanting his jacket back now. ' "Do you want it back?"

'This is your chance Rob. Don't screw it up.' He thought to himself. "If you want to keep it it's yours. Why? Does it REMIND you of me?" he teased. Raven blushed. "Thought so. Anyway, do you...want to go anywhere?"

"Where?"

"It doesn't matter."

"We could go into the city...take a walk," she turned to Robin. "Do you...want to?"

"I'd love to." He smiled and slipped through his door, pausing only to tell her to meet him in the lobby fifteen minuets.

She stared after him and closed her eyes. Her emotions were struggling to get the best of her. Love especially. 'No,' she scolded herself. 'Don't loose control. You don't want to blow up Wayne Manor do you?' Her emotions agreed that losing Wayne Manor would be quite a tragedy.


Sorry this chapter was kinda short. I'll try to make them longer from now on. XOXO-Way2beme-XOXO
