The Past is Better Forgotten

Chapter 3: Noticing It

Shane kept running at them and he wouldn't slow. Robin grabbed some birdarangs and threw them at the crazy blond teen. " Stupid little birdie! I wish my father would just kill you! You and all your damn friends too! But, no! He has to like you so much that you were his stupid apprentice. God even knows that there is only enough space for one of us here, Robin, so it's my task to destroy you and your team." Shane kept screaming and cursing, so Raven saw the opportunity. Her eyes turned alarmingly red and black energy was beginning to form around her. No!, she thought terrified, No, this can't be happening!

" Azarath, Metrion, Zinthos!" A nearby car rammed into his side. Shane flew through the air and broke right through the window of a grocery store. When he tried to get up, he screamed in pain and fell unconsious. Starfire flew to him.

" Raven, I understand your hate toward Shane of Slade, but why must you hurt him so badly? You could have taken this earthling's life! That was of the unnecessary, friend Raven!" She gathered Shane's bloody body in her arms and said, " Does this prison of which the evil of the city are kept, does it have a healing room?"

" Yes it does, Star, " Cyborg answered, giving Raven a distrustful look. Raven looked down at her feet then walked over to stand by Robin who was talking to a police officer.

" I see he had no defense except his grenades?" the officer asked.

" Um, yeah. He doesn't have superpowers or anything, sir." Robin quickly turned his head to Raven, but then faced the officer again. " But, please don't turn my friend in. She meant no harm, I mean he is a maniac's son after all. Eventually, they're both going to be killed." The officer nodded.

" Fine. Go back to your place and thanks for catching him. "

Raven turned to Robin and opened her mouth to say thanks, but he said, " Sure, anytime, Ray!" Raven looked startled, but followed him as the team made their way back to the tower. She felt she owed him now.

Of course you do, her mind told her. You owe him a lot. A simple 'thank you' is not enough. Raven shook her head. Soon, they reached the tower. Maybe you should tell him your secret at the least. He deserves to know. Raven considered this for a moment, but pushed the thought to the back of her mind.

When they were all in the living room, Beast Boy and Cyborg ran to the game station and turned on the tv. Starfire soon went over to them and began asking several questions about the game's concept. Robin went to the training room to practice, but stopped and yelled to Raven, " Would you want to go to the training room with me?"

" Sure, " she answered back and together they walked off to train.

" Let's see how good you do in hand to hand combat!" Robin challenged.

Without warning, Raven rushed at him, eyes glowing a blood red color, her power radiating off her body in thick black waves, and she threw a hard kick at his stomach. He dodged by a few inches. " Something, the matter Raven? I haven't even said 'go' yet!"

Raven stepped back.

" S-sorry, Robin, " Raven's voice quivered slightly with shock. What had she just done? Had she actually just tried to attack him like she did Shane? All it was, was a stupid training test and she had gotten all worked up about it! " Robin, I need to go figure something out. I'll train with you later. Sorry." With that, she sped out of the room, her cloak swishing behind her.

" What was that about? " Robin asked, worried. Something was up, and he was going to find out what.

Raven8: Here ends chapter 3!

Next chapter: Robin learns something dangerous and a stranger comes to the tower.
