Let Me Dream: Part Ten - What do you want?
Robin followed her when she left the classroom. She noticed him rather quickly and tried walking faster to avoid him. Eventually realizing that he wasn't going away she sighed and turned on him.
"What do you want??" She threw her hands up when she spoke, visibly irritated with the situation. "What the hell is with you? Why won't you leave me alone is this some type of joke or something?" Robin stood his ground, refusing to let her anger effect him.
"No. I just want to talk to you."
"Why? Has someone pissed you off and now you want me to put a curse on them? Well the hell with you hero boy! Piss off." She fumed and looked like she thinking of hitting him.
"No. Raven, will you have lunch with me?" Raven was visibly shocked before she guarded her expression again.
"Hell no! I don't eat lunch anyway."
"Then I won't eat lunch. Can we please talk?" Raven groaned.
"What would we have to talk about anyway? What the hell is your deal?" Robin smiled, feeling her resolve break.
"Talk with me and you'll find out." Raven looked at him a moment weighing the situation in her mind. Intrigued despite herself she decided that it might be OK.
"Fine. But if you mess with me, I'm gonna kick your ass."
"OK. I can deal with that."
They sat outside on the lawn under an old oak tree. Robin told her briefly about his dreaming time. About the Titans. Raven listened to him and after a while her attitude seemed to thaw a bit. He told her about their powers and their lives.
"Whoa." She stated, turning her face to look at Robin. "You really dreamed all that?" Robin nodded.
"Yeah all of it. Things were a lot better than they are here. We were friends. We all had each other. Now it seems like here, I guess we're the same, both of us are alone." Raven stood up and stepped away from him, her mood instantly chilling over.
"Right. Maybe you. Look I don't need this shit. I have a class to get to. It was a nice story, but it is just a story. Why don't you go. The bell is about to ring." Robin looked up to respond but at the time the bell did in fact ring. Raven turned away from him and walked into the main building. Robin sighed, wondering if he would ever get her to warm up to him.
He got up and made his way swiftly to the locker room to prepare for Gym. The class was uneventful and Robin soon found himself in English class with a very pissed off Slade.
"WTF happened to you? I leave you for a couple of hours and someone beats the shit out of you?" Robin denied it by repeating his lie about falling but Slade wasn't fooled. "Forget it, you don't want to tell me, that's fine. I'll figure it out. Then the SOB will pay." Robin eventually got Slade to calm down before the teacher noticed by telling him he didn't want everyone to know. "Shit man, I'm sorry." With that Slade pretty much kept his mouth shut for the rest of the class.
They walked down the hallway towards the last class of the day, history. Slade once again hooked his arm with Robin's and steered him through the other students.
"There is just one more to go and you will have survived one full day at Jump High." Slade laughed. "I'd like to say you got off without a scratch but I just can't." Robin sighed as they entered their history class.
"You know you aren't as funny as you think you are. If you would just.."
"Shhhh!" Slade cut him off, "I gotta say hello to my favorite lady." Robin followed his gaze to find Raven already sitting at a table. She was leaning forward on the bench with her nose buried in a book. Before he realized what Slade was up to he was already standing behind Raven. He laced his arm around her midsection hugging her from behind and placing his chin on her shoulder.
"Hello Sweetness," Slade drawled out, "Did you long for me today?" Raven snarled and pushed him away.
"Back the hell off shit bag!" Slade laughed and blew her a kiss before walking back over to Robin.
"Why did you do that?" Robin demanded.
"Do what?" Slade asked with an innocent expression on his face.
"Why did you grab her like that?" Slade laughed and sat down at a table.
"Ah come on Robin. I know you can't remember shit, but take my word for it. You don't care. In fact, if you could remember yourself you would think it was funny." Slades eyes were lit up with a sadistic mirth.
"Screw you Slade." Robin walked over to a table across the room from him and sat down.
"Whatever man. Whatever." Slade propped his head on his fist and grinned. Anything else that may have transpired was cut off by the appearance of their teacher Mr. Offray. Robin spent most of the class entertaining the different ways he could maim Slade.
