Ahh! I can't believe it! This is so messed up. This chapter was missing after I uploaded chapter 8 and 9. I hope it works out...

(A/N) I hope you liked the last chappie! I had fun writing it. This one will have more of the plot in it, though there will be fluff! Yay:) Oh, and WARNING! Slight spoiler for "Birthday" just so you know. Not very bad, just mentioning something about the length of Raven's hair.

Chapter 7: Who is IT?

Things cooled down after a while. The other Titans coped with it pretty well, considering their leader had just spied on their teammate, when the upper half of her body was uncovered. After Beastboy tried to get information for half an hour, he realized that Robin wasn't going to share.

"Aw, man, why do you have to hog all the girls? First Starfire falls for you, and now Raven and you are together?" he complained.

"Hey, BB," Raven whispered. "I think Starfire is available now."

He perked up at this and wiggled his eyebrows. "Wanna help me make her like me?"

Raven rolled her eyes. "Either she likes you or she doesn't."

Beastboy shrugged and went over to where Starfire was sitting on the couch. "So, Star, want to go watch a movie with me?"

Starfire clapped her hands together and said, "Yes, that would be wonderous, friend Beast Boy! Perhaps the others would like to come as well."

Beastboy couched and told her, "I kinda meant just you and me, you know, a date?"

"Oh, Beastboy, do you wish to be my male friend?" Starfire exclaimed.

"Eh..." Beastboy scratched the back of his head. "Yeah, I wnt to be your BOYfriend. It's BOY not male. Heh..."

Starfire just grinned wider. "Oh, this is wonderful! Let us go view a film!"

So they left. Starfire flew to the theater, draagging BB behind her.

Raven sat on the couch next to Robin and gave him a quick kiss on the lips. "Do you want to come meditate with me?"

Robin smiled. "I'd love to. Maybe it'll calm my thoughts. Wait, why do you need to meditate? I thought you had achieved some degree of control over your powers?"

Raven answered, "I did achieve SOME control, but I still need to meditate to gather my thoughts and make sure I won't lose the little control I have gained. So c'mon, let's go."

They held hands and walked up the stairs to the roof.

Cyborg sighed. "I really need to get a girlfriend"

-On the roof

Raven was sitting on Robin's lap, looking out over the water. She closed her eyes and began meditating. She found that it was easier with Robin there with her. Before long, she found that she was done meditating. Robin, sensing she was out of her trance, pulled her closer to him. He inhaled and said, "You smell nice. Like lavender."

Raven giggled. 'Ah! Did I really giggle?' "Thanks Robin. Too bad I can't say the same about you..." she laughed. "No, I'm kidding. You smell like...I can't really place the smell. You smell CLEAN."

Robin chuckled. "Thanks, I guess. I love you, Raven."

Raven smiled and ran her hand through his hair. He hadn't put gel in it this morning, so it was still soft from his shower. "I love you too, Robin. You were the first person who ever made me feel like I was wanted. Like I belonged."

Robin twirled her short hair in his fingers. "Remember how your hair was longer on your birthday? Why did you cut it? I kind of liked it long."

Raven told him, "The long hair would just remind me of that day. I just wanted it to be over."

Robin sighed. "Oh well. So who is IT? Do you have any idea?"

Raven considered his question. "IT seems kind of familiar, though I can't place it. Maybe something from a dream...a dream! That's it! IT was in my nightmare!" She shuddered involuntarily.

Robin held her closer. "Want to tell me about it?"

Raven nodded. "I'm in my room. I hear the doorbell. My door slides open and I go to the door to the Tower. I open it, and there's no one there. I go back to my room. I stand in the middle of my floor, and my door opens on its own. Then this figure glides in, without touching the floor. But it's confusing. The door didn't really OPEN. It was just kind of, not there. I can't explain it. It was closed, but things could still get in. So, anyway, I chant my words, but they don't work. IT laughs and moves toward me. I jump onto my bed, and as soon as I do, IT goes away."

Robin thought for a moment. "I understand it."

"You do?"

Robin nodded. "Things come calling for you, but you can't answer. So they just come in. Your defenses don't work; you must confront your fears. But once you are in a familiar place, one of comfort, your fears go away."

Raven whistled. "Wow, you're good at interpreting dreams. That really makes sense. But...this scares me. Does this mean my fears are physical now?"

Robin shrugged. "I guess so," he said.
