AN: because I'm feeling nice and still have cre3ativiness here's another chapter. I'd like to note that this was supposed to be an oneshot and it went crazy. But I'm feeling kind 'cause my friends loved the first chapter. I'd also like to note that I do not own the TT or anything else except my CD's, DVD's and my Books (my preciouses) I do not own anything with which to run such things (Do books require running?) so I have to barrow such things.

"Nothing, we just talked." Raven replied while pulling on something respectable, a pair of black plaid pj bottoms and a black knit tank. "Come on, we'd better introduce you to the others."
"Raven, I lied. I'm here to ask you to come home. 'Jay has been bugging me about where you disappeared to, and you know I promised that I wouldn't tell anyone where you were. But I told him I'd try to get you to go home, and that's just what I intend to do, But yes, please introduce me to your friends here, and your bf, before I haul your sorry ass back home."
"Fine, come on than. And we'll talk about 'Jay later." Raven replied, stoically while walking out her door, leading Magpie towards the living room.
'Who's 'Jay?' Robin wondered. He'd just heard Raven talking to her cousin while going downstairs for breakfast. Raven's door had been left open in her mad dash back to her room. Robin continued back down to the kitchen, and as he passed the living room he overheard Beast Boy, obviously in shock, trying to convince the disbelieving Cyborg that he saw Raven in a short, strappy, PINK nighty. Robin smiled to himself and continued in his mindless search for food stuffs.
Raven had got her cousin to come downstairs to the living room where the other were playing some racing game on the X-Box, well BB and Cy were playing, Star was cheering them on like she couldn't figure out who she wanted to win, and Robin was still in the kitchen staring at the microwave waiting for his coffee to be warmed. Magpie stood there awkwardly for a moment before rushing over to Cy and whispering in his ear, "What ya playin'?" Cyborg jumped in his seat, swearing and turning all at the same time. And in a blink of an eye, he was standing with his sonic cannon aimed at Magpie.
"Raven, who's your new friend?" asked BB.
"This is my cousin, Magpie. She came here for assistance, but decided that she's going to drag me home to break up with someone to get him out of her hair and back on the market so that she can wheel him up tighter than you were gripping that controller," replied Raven.
"Well maybe I don't want him for myself now that I see why you've stayed here. Cause all of these scrumptious hunks of men that you live with." Answered Magpie, making Raven blush and BB glow.
"Well, I've got to go tell my fiancé the bad news, so I'm going up to pack than we're leaving, Magpie. So get your hellos and goodbyes all worked out before I get back." Raven said. Unfortunately Robin had come in when Raven mentioned her fiancé and decided that he needed some answers and now. He followed Raven up to her room.
Raven had turned on her soundtrack mix CD when she entered her room and was pulling numerous black cloaks out of her closet. When she heard someone clear their throat, she spun around finally spotting Robin leaning against the wall.
"I think I need some explainations, Raven. And I want some real ones not some faky answers that you'd give to the rest of the team." Robin said.
"This is going to take some time."
"Well, that is some thing I do have."
"You remember the story I told you last night about my family?" Robin nodded,"Well, I didn't finish it. After the warriors killed my family and Magpie's too, the king and Queen, my only family was Magpie and we thought that the best way to keep ourselves alive was to offer a hand of friendship. The warriors demanded one of us in marriage, but under our law the middle girl of three born on one day would choose her own fate, and unfortantly for me, Magpie was the middle one of us three, the other was Cardinal; she was killed in the attack. So the only one of us who could marry for peace was me. So, I was betrothed to the general's son, Bluejay, he's handsome but has little more brains than a rock. I could never love him, but one day I would be his, a prize for his mantel. To be a wife, back home, was to be little better than a slave, that's not the life me. But now I have to go back and work it out."
"Why didn't you tell me about him?" Asked Robin.
"Would it have made a difference?" retorted Raven.
"Of course it would have. I wouldn't have fallen in love with someone else's wife and I wouldn't have to do this." And with that he leaned over and kissed Raven passionately.
"What are you doing?" Raven screamed, pulling out of the kiss, "I love you too, but this is my and y cousin's lives we are talking about."
All of a sudden, a song burst into their ears,
Get off my back and into my game
Get out of my way and out of my brain
Get outta my face or give it you best shot
I think it's time you better face the fact
Get off my back
"My sentiments exactly. Leave me alone, and let me comb out this mess that I'm in." and with that Raven transported Robin into the hall with a locked door in his nose.
'What did I just do? I just ruined the best thing that happened to me since the rebellion. Why? Why? WHY?' She yelled at herself in her mind. A moment later, she was downstairs to fetch Magpie and leave. "Come on Mag, we're leaving." She said.
"Ah come on Rae, let me just finish this round, I'm whooping Cy's ass." Replied Magpie, but she coaght a view of her cousin's face, and said, "OK, I'm sorry guys, but we gotta go. Cy, I'll be back to finish what I started here so don't you get all twisted about where this cute little sprocket is, she'll return." And with that she and Raven poofed out to some where entirely different than the Tower.
Cy sat in shock, thinking, 'How the hell could she have known that?' BB was startled by the sudden poof of smoke, Star was smiling and floating in that air brained way of hers, and Robin was still starring at Raven's door.
Several light-years away, on a recently unnamed planet, Magpie and Raven were sitting in several blue-black boxes that could only be taken as chairs. In fact, everything on this planet could only fit on earth if it was in a totally ultra-modern house, every house looked disproportioned and had more room on the inside that appeared on the out side, but the residents rarely went out side, as they could 'poof' themselves where they needed to be. But back to the girls.
Raven and Magpie were discussing what to do. "You know if I do what I want to do, you won't be able to live here anymore you'll have to flee for your life, you'll be able to live at the Tower if you want, I know you'd be welcome." Raven said.
"I wish you'd tell me what you're planning to do, but I think I already know what you're going to do. And I have to say, it's the stupid way out but I know that it's what your heart is telling you to do, and I have to respect that." Replied Magpie.
"You already know and I'm still going to do it but I don't know why. I'm not sure if I even love Robin. I'm confused and I'm getting a headache. I'm going to bed." Raven retorted. She walked toward a bare wall that formed itself into a door, than formed back up, expressing Raven's need of privacy.
Raven automatically turned on her music and what did she hear but a very mournful song, which bit right into her soul where a black hole was carving it's way into her spirit.
As the seasons change - remember how I used to be
Now I can't go on - I can't even start
I've got nothing left - just an empty heart
I'm a soldier - wounded so I must give up the fight
There's nothing more for me - lead me away...
Or leave me lying here
Sound the bugle now - tell them I don't care
There's not a road I know - that leads to anywhere
Without a light feat that I will - stumble in the dark
Lay right down - decide not to go on
The dark part of Raven's mind told her that that could be a very good answer to the problem, but as the song went on the part of her that Robin fell in love with came to the top:
Then from on hight - somewhere in the distance
There's a voice that calls - remember who your are
If you lose yourself - your courage soon will follow
So be strong tonight - remember who you are
Ya you're a soldier now - fighting in a battle
To be free once more -Ya that's worth fighting for
'That was right; it's all up to me. I control my destiny. Wait, I and Mag were born at the exact same time which means I'm also the middle girl.' Raven realized. Just than she knew what she had to do, but first she was going to get some sleep. Curling into a ball, she fell asleep, the house forming a cup underneath her and covering her with a soft covering of furs.

AN: Yes I'd like to take the blame for this. But I felt It needed another chapter, so here it is with at least one more to follow. The 'fight' song is Get Off Of My Back by Bryan Adams, and Raven's 'moody' song is Sound the Bugle also by Bryan Adams.
Thank you for reading and please review the out come of this depends on your opinions, so review and let me know what you think.
