Chapter VI

The Revealing

Robin moved over to Raven, whispering in her ear, "Rae, you don't have to tell him. But he needs to know, and so does Star and Cyborg. They need to know..." Raven turned away momentarily, thinking. "I'll do the telling if you want Rae..."

"Thanks..."


In a dark meeting room down the hall from Robin's bedroom, a round table was set up, the entire Titans team seated around it; waiting. Robin was, of course, at the head, with Raven beside him, trying to hide within her cloak. She did not want them to know, she did not want their worried faces all the time, scared any minute she would turn them to stone. She did not want them to hate her, to know her only under obligation. She wanted to run away and hide from this horrid dream, to walk away from the demon inside herself. She wanted to disappear...


"Team, we have a, ah, situation." Robin began. He glanced down at Raven, who was hidden beneath her hood. "Rae, show them..." he said sorrowfully.

Cautiously, Raven let down her hood and put her arms out before herself for all to see. Eyes closed, the last thing she wanted was to see their eyes. Slowly though, she opened them. Cyborg examined the marks carefully. "Well, they aren't tattoos..." Starfire simply watched, perplexed.

"Is, is something wrong with friend Raven...?"

"Yeah..." Beast Boy answered. "We'll get her through it." Raven smiled at Beast Boy, who grinned back encouragingly.

"They look like a writing... Does it mean something?"

"It means," Robin began awkwardly, "that we have the fight of our lives ahead of us. Her father is coming."

I'm contemplaring whether to write a sequel or leave it; the main problem of the story has been solved, the revealing, so the fic is technically over. If I get enough demand (ahem, REVIEWS) I just might continue this into a part two. I don't really know where to go with it, so I'm totally open to any good ideas. Tell me if i should continue and/or how. Thanks to all my loyal fans! (bows, hears cricket chirp, steps off computer desk sadly...)
