Hello!!!! Well I got the request for an update quick so I decided to write while I had the time!!!!

I am so glad that I got one more review, and thank you Blackshield I'm trying to get some of my friends to read the story online and put reviews so that other people will read it too.

Anyway, I would just like to say that the ending scene was like my fav scene in the whole story so far!!!! So I thought I would do a little recap with a little more description added in because I don't think that I really showed how beautiful the scene was.

So here's the chappie I promised!!!! *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Chapter 3: Heaven and Hell

Raven found herself wandering up to the roof, she didn't know why, but she decided to go with the instinct. When she reached the large, iron door, she heard the sound of some one crying. She wasn't quite sure it was crying because it was so faint but some how deep down, she knew it was crying and that she had to help stop it. She opened the door to find two large wings closed together. These white wings were too huge to be any kind of bird so that ruled out an animal of some kind. There was something about them that gave the impression of being clamped together, as if whoever was in them didn't want to be found. The glittery wings were definitely emitting this crying sound. Suddenly Raven got the distinct feeling that she should try and find out what the matter was. But, she didn't want to startle whoever was there so she quietly walked over to the wings and kneeled down.

She knocked slightly on the place where the wings came together, and said softly, "Hey is there someone in there?"

There was a sniffle sound, and then a gasped, as if the person inside realized that she didn't want to be found, "Oh dear, please don't run away!" the voice cracked from so much crying, "Don't tell the others!" Dove cried as the wings opened just a little bit to reveal her flushed face and swollen eyes.

"Dove? Is that you?" Raven couldn't believe it. Why was Dove crying? Just a moment ago she was laughing and smiling at everyone, what could've made her change so drastically? Raven looked down at the petite girl shaking with grief inside enormous white wings and felt a new emotion, empathy. (Woooohooo, VOCAB WORD!!!! Sorry for the break in feeling but I had to say that...) "Hey, what's wrong? Is there something I can do?" Raven knew it was stretching but, something deep down was tell her that she had to stop Dove from crying some more.

"Oh dear, Raven," Dove looked up to see her new friend's face ridden with worry, "I don't know, I just, there's something wrong with me and I just can't help it..." she burst out crying again. She felt so open with Raven; she had thought about it before and decided that it had to do with the fact that she felt like she knew her in a past life.

Raven reached into her cloak and pulled out a black satin handkerchief. She handed it to Dove, who took it and mopped up what was left of her tears. "What do you mean you can't help it?"

"Um, well you see...." She hesitated. Dove didn't know where to begin.

"It's alright if you don't want to tell me." Raven didn't want to push where emotions were considered and didn't want to make her uncomfortable.

Dove glowed a bit, "No that's alright Raven, I don't mind sharing." She took a deep breathe. "You see Raven, I am not all human......I am half angel." She waited for the aftermath, but it never came.

"Well, that explains the wings but what about the stuff that you can't help?" Raven didn't seem the least bit surprised.

Dove smiled, she felt like a huge weight lifted off of her. "Oh, Raven!" She lunged forward and hugged her tightly. The wings that were around her flew backwards to flap eagerly and lift the two of them off the ground. She laughed. "I am so glad that you have accepted me!!!"

"Uh, yeah, listen can we go back to the ground now?" Raven said, just a little uncomfortable hovering above the ground with Dove wrapped around her.

"Oh, yes, please forgive my uncontrollable happiness," Dove said as she floated both Raven and herself down to the ground. She looked her friend in the face and said, "I have been told it is a bit much."

"Just a little, but not that that's bad or anything, it's just a little surprising considering you were weeping so heavily before."

"Oh, well, no one has ever been able to explain that about me. My foster parents said that it was a gift, I like to think of it that way. Personally I think it's a side-effect of being half angel." She blushed a bit there. She was having second thoughts on whether or not she wanted to share her other problem. She wanted to side track Raven so that she didn't have to talk about what she blurted out unexplainably.

"Yes, well, there's no need to feel self-confident about that," now it was Raven's turn to hesitate, she didn't know whether it was a good idea to reveal to Dove that she was half her mortal enemy. But, there was something there that made it feel as if Dove could still accept her, "lots of us have things that we're ashamed of. I'm half demon." Raven whispered the last part of that. She was really hoping that Dove wouldn't hear it.

"You're half demon? Oh my, well," She smiled at full watt, "then we shall be forever an example that Heaven and Hell can be friends! That is if you still want to be my friend?"

This took Raven aback for a second, never before had anyone wanted to be her friend so badly. And the fact that Dove basically wanted to defy all rules of good and bad to be her friend was amazing. She whispered quietly, "Yes, I suppose we shall, won't we?"

She looked up at the half-angel's gleaming face, she had true friend now. She remembered what Dove had said before, "Now would you like to tell me what was bothering you? I'm a good listener." She smiled weakly.

Dove's expression changed, "Oh Goodness, why did she remember?" But she couldn't push Raven away now, now since she had just made a big deal about being friends. "Um, well you see, I have feelings for a member of the opposite sex..."

"Oh, human girl stuff......" Raven laughed a bit, "what, does he not like you or something?"

"Yes, no, well, I have never asked him..."

"Well, that's your problem, ask him whether he likes you!" Raven chuckled inwardly, funny how she was giving advice on a topic and a problem that she was having herself. "I should really take my own advice!"

"No, you see the problem is not with the male, it is....with me." Dove sighed. "I can not and should not have feelings like these."

"Why the Hell not?" Raven roared, she couldn't help it. She didn't like the fact that some people were controlled by others.

Dove cringed at the word "Hell."

"Oh, sorry," Raven blushed.

"No problem. Well, you see," and then it tumbled out, "I can not use my powers if I am not pure, I lose all connection to my soul and mind if I am tainted. If my mind and heart is blocked by these dirty and sinful thoughts then my friends are in danger. They count on my powers to help them fight evil."

"Wait, do you mean that if you give in and stop fighting the fact that you like this guy, you won't be able to do your magic again?"

"Yes, I guess in short terms. Well, I don't really know. It has never really happened before with my own thoughts. It happened when we were fighting that filthy evil doer, I got dirt on my cloak, therefore when I got up to do my magic, I could not. I just don't think that I can take a chance that I will lose the divine presence." She looked at the sky. The white clouds were so pure, why couldn't she just forget about these emotions and be like them.

After sometime, Raven spoke up, "Dove, let me just put this in my own words, if there is something 'un-pure' about you, you can't do your magic?" Dove nodded silently. "Okay, well here's your problem, love isn't un-pure."

Dove was amazed. No one had ever said that before. She urged Raven to go on.

"You see, it's the abuse of love that isn't pure, i.e. lust. Love can be pure. You love him with all your heart, don't you?" Raven asked.

"Well, I never thought about it but, yes, I do believe so. If love means that he fills my heart with so much joy when he walks in the room. Or the beautiful music I hear when he speaks to me. Or the warmth that I feel when he touches my hand. Oh, I think that I could go on forever and eternity!" Dove opened her eyes, which she had closed to envision her love's beautiful face. "What is the matter Raven?"

This was the best question to ask, because Raven realized what had been the matter for days now. What Dove was talking about had been the emotions that Raven had been feeling for Robin and then pushing aside. She couldn't believe it, she had been in love with Robin this whole time and had been so closed off that she didn't realize it until now. "Um, nothing, nothing's the matter. What you just explained, yeah that's love."

"Now I know you are lying friend. Do not worry, you can share how you feel, I like just did. It will feel so much better when you get it out. Um, what is going on?" Dove looked a little worried. She didn't understand why the roof was shaking as if there was an earthquake.

"Um, well I guess it's my turn to share as you say." She took a deep breathe and stopped the shaking. Raven explained, "My powers are connected to my emotions. I too...am in love." Raven blushed deeply.

"How funny, that we two feel the same! Now we are more than just friends Raven! We are what my foster parents explained as kindred spirits! Yes, that's what I've been feeling this whole time. How great it is to have a friend like you. Have you ever had a friend like this, Raven?"

"Um, no I can't say that I have..."

"Then we are to discover this together! Before I was so sad that I had been taken away from my friends, the Young Heroes, but now I am so glad that I have met you!" She hugged Raven again, and this time was gladly received.

"Hey, me too Dove." Raven let a big smile go. Dove was so welcoming and reassuring that she let her emotions go free.

Dove and Raven walked down the stairs together laughing. A few seconds later Dove, who had gathered her cloak from the ground and found that there was again mud on it, had decided not to put it back on and asked Raven if she could wash it in the Titan's washing machine. This started a bunch of stories about how messy Zooman and Beast Boy were and about how even Dove's magic couldn't clean up their messes sometimes. When they entered the living room all the boys were there, playing what else but video games.

The boys were startled to find the sound of laughter coming from Raven, of all people. Beast Boy, Robin and Cyborg turned around to see what was so funny and saw not only was Raven laughing but Dove didn't have her cloak on and instead had a huge expanse of white wings behind her.

"Holy Hell!" Cyborg exclaimed.

"Oh dear," Dove cringed and said as she ducked behind Raven as if afraid of what they were going to say about her. She wrapped the tops of her wings around Raven's waist and buried her head in her back.

"Hey, would you mind keeping your dirty mouths shut and not saying hell so much? Dove doesn't like it." Raven took on the defense for Dove, who was still hiding behind her.

"Oh sorry," said Cyborg, "I just didn't expect to see wings on her, you know, it's not something that you come across everyday."

"Well, you don't come across a half-man half-machine very often either, do you Cy?" Raven said as she put her hands on her hips. Then noticing that the wings around her midsection were shaking, "It's alright Dove, their just being jackasses. You can come out now." She removed the wings from around her gently.

Dove, like a frightened animal, stepped out from behind Raven. She blushed just a bit, because the white leotard that was the only thing that she was wearing was a little tight.

Beast Boy couldn't help but let out a whistle. Who would have thought that the little albino girl would have such a great body. This reaction, of course, got a death glare from Raven, which shut him up immediately.

"Um, I think an explanation is sort of needed for those really cool wings ya have, Dove." Robin cleared his throat, he also couldn't help but notice what a great body Dove had either, but he wasn't stupid enough to do what BB had done. It was funny, Dove had exactly the body that he had imagined Raven had underneath her cape.

Dove blushed more deeply. "I have never had my wings be explained as 'really cool' before." She smiled weakly. She looked up at Raven, as if asking her if they could be trusted, she valued Raven's opinion greatly.

"Don't worry. They were cool when I told them I was half demon." Raven said and smiled. It felt good to be relayed on.

"I am half angel. My father was the archangel Michael and my mother was a woman that he fell in love with during a visit to earth." Dove said looking back at the boys.

"Well, okay that's a liable answer. But now the question is why you don't hate Raven." Robin said, fearing that Dove had been sent to kill Raven. He put his hand on his hip in a nonchalant attitude but if was purposely. He felt the utility belt and the compartment that held his boomerangs, ready to throw at will.

"Oh, well, I don't know, but, Raven and I believe that we will become examples for the whole world that Heaven and Hell can be friends!" Dove exclaimed as she took Raven's arm and hugged it. Raven looked down at her with a smile.

"Now, we were just about to go to the laundry room, so bye!!!" And with that Raven and Dove walked off hand in hand.

"Well, that was freakish," said the boys at the same time.
