I figured since it was in such high demand that I'd end all of your sufferings…-cackles evilly- sorry it took so long again…especially at such a touching ending…any way, if you forget then here's a little look into the end of the last chapter…
Previously:
When she had seen him after seven long years, all she could feel was hatred and anger, but deep down she had known she felt something else. Relief? Happiness? She hadn't known what to call it so she had ignored it. But since then, that feeling had caught fire and grown larger with each day that they spent together, and now Raven could only call it the beginnings of love.
She had always cared for him more than the others, and the thought of him ever getting hurt had always caused her to become stronger in battle with various villains, but now it seemed like she was weak and helpless, and could not do a thing to stop the feelings she experienced.
In the end, her only reply to him was a small, simple smile and a small, but passionate kiss that expressed to him more than words ever could.
Chapter 9: Louder Than Words
Raven and Robin had separated after their kiss, and Raven had taken to hiding herself in the kitchen, the rosy color of her usually pale cheeks hadn't diminished even though they had separated almost an hour before. The other would be back any moment, so she had decided to make a snack for everyone.
The front door opened, and Raven could hear the voices of the others as they came in, Terra was happily talking about the telescope, and she could hear Cy talk about how boring and un-technological it was. Raven didn't care though. All she wanted was to have Ren and Jay in her arms again. She didn't know what she would do if anything had happened to them.
"Where's Rae?" BeastBoy asked as he flopped down onto the couch and flipping on the TV.
"Yes," Star clearly gritted out between slightly clenched teeth, "Where is friend Raven?" Her innocent eyes held a darkness to them as she glanced around, her voice had been forced into a friendly tone.
"I'm here." Raven said coming out with a bowl of chips and tray of drinks, on it was a cup of tea for herself. She set it down on the table, and was disgusted when BeastBoy began swallowing the food down without chewing.
"We got it Raven!" Terra cheered happily as she plopped down on the couch and smacked BeastBoy over the head as he started choking. Raven smiled, a soft sigh passing her tired lips.
"Good." She said as she went to get the note and read it over, so as not to miss any details…
Dear Titans,
I suppose you are worried about the two little ones. I suppose you want to know why they were taken and what I have in mind for them. Well, for your personal information, they have not been harmed in any way, and I am quite impressed with their 'abilities'.
I wish to speak with you all tonight at the park. There's a small fountain at the north entrance, and a side path that leads to a clearing. I will meet you there at midnight.
I do not intend to harm them, so you may cast your fears aside. I will bring them with me, but I must ask that you bring something as well. It is called the MDT. It stands for Microscopic Device Telescope. I have quite a fascination with the stars and such, so I would appreciate it if you could get it for me.
For now I must go. The children are hungry and I'm sure they won't mind having take out. I will meet you tonight in the clearing. DON'T be late.
Yours truly…
Raven sighed again as she read this. She was so worried and anxious to see Jay and Ren, that it was almost eating her up inside. Taking a calm and steadying breath, she looked up from it to see StarFire glaring at her, and Robin watching her with a worried expression on his face.
"You okay?" He asked walking over and taking the letter from her to read it himself once more.
"I'm fine." She said softly, though inside she was pure chaos. Robin took note of her worried and tired expression. They wouldn't leave for the park for at least another hour and a half, taking in consideration what the note said, DON'T be late.
"Why don't you go lay down for a while? I'll wake you when it's time to go." He urged her gently, knowing she wouldn't want to, but her stress level would only rise if she stayed awake, worrying. Then again, he doubted that her dreams would be much different.
"I'm fi…" She started, but stopped when she noticed the concerned looks everyone except for Star was giving her. Deciding it best not to argue, she simply nodded, and walked to the room quietly closing the door behind her.
Immediately after the door closed, Cy turned to Robin.
"So what'd you two birdies do while we were away?" He acted innocent, but he knew what he was implying.
"We…uh…we…talked." Robin stuttered out, trying to figure out what to say as his face slowly reddened.
"Uh-huh. You know, lying isn't good for the heart." Terra grinned wickedly from her seat next to BeastBoy.
"Well then, you know what they say," Piped in BeastBoy, "Actions speak louder than words." Everyone looked at BeastBoy, him actually having said something remotely intelligent for once.
"So if that is the case," Terra said, ignoring the dirty looks Star was giving BeastBoy, "Then how'd these 'words' go?" He grin was pure sneakiness as she grinned at the boy wonder.
"Uhm well, I think she doesn't hate me anymore." Robin said sheepishly.
"Really?" Terra asked with complete sarcasm.
"Yeah Terra, I think he's serious." BeastBoy said grinning stupidly.
"So much for being intelligent." Terra muttered as Cy broke out into laughter.
Star had been quiet up until now, but she had kept that dirty and angered look. "I think that we should not trust Raven. She has lied to us before and for all we know, she is working with this Shock of After."
Terra rolled her eyes. She was getting fed up with the jealous routine StarFire had developed. "Oh go get a life!" She shouted angrily.
Everyone froze and turned to look at Terra, confusion written on their faces. Terra merely glared, obviously annoyed, at Star.
"Star, we know you like Robin, but you gotta get over it and move on." She ground out through clenched teeth. Star merely glared at her once before storming out and slamming the door behind her.
"Is something wrong?" Raven asked sticking her head out from her room, her hair slightly ruffled. "I heard shouting and a slam. Where's StarFire?"
"Star got pissed when I told her the truth. She'll be back and hopefully with a better attitude." Terra said leaning back into the pillows of the couch.
"Alright…" Raven said, a bit unsure. Her gaze flickered to Robin, and immediately a blush came across her features. Without another word, she ducked back into the room, leaving a smiling group of Titans and a very embarrassed wonder boy.
"Well, it's true what they say." Cy stated, amused.
"Actions do speak louder than words." Terra finished for him, knowing perfectly well what he had been about to say.
Robin looked away, a small, happy smile on his face as he thought of Raven.
Raven: Glad we got out of that position
Robin: Definitely…
Raven: Wait, I thought I knocked you out?
Robin: BeastBoy found me and decided to see how many ways didn't work to wake me up…
Raven: Oh, poor baby….-cutesy voice-
Robin-gulps knowing this attitude isn't a good sign-
Raven-smiles innocently-
Terra: There they go again!
Cy: Get a room guys.
Raven: What in hell is that supposed to mean!
Cy: Exactly what I said.
Robin-blushing-
Raven-eye twitch- I would appreciate it if you took your implications elsewhere…
Cy: Where the hell else is there to go?
Terra: I got a bad feeling about this…
Robin: Oh shit…-grabs Terra and hides-
Raven: You can go to trash heap…-smiles evilly- So ideas belong on one…
Cy: I was told to always speak the truth…-defends self proudly-
Raven-eye twitch- Don't even go there Robo Boy
Cy: What did you just call me-eye twitch-
Raven: Robo Boy….-looks bored and starts filing nails-
Cy: You…you…you-is angry-
Raven-looks up from nails and states simply- Me.
Cy-blows a fuse-
