Author's Note: This is the song 'Sweet Misery'. Sorry if I keep changing the setting, but the main characters are in different places!

Chapter one: Sweet Misery

"Hey, um…would you…" Robin said carelessly. He tapped the blue-haired girl sitting on the roof of Titans Tower.

"No." she replied solemnly. She never took her eyes off the sun setting to the water. "I won't."

"How do you…" Robin continued with a surprised look.

"I don't." Raven replied soullessly. "It's just obvious that you're going to ask me to join another one of your stupid activities down-town."

Robin looked at her with his mouth half-open, he was speechless.

"You shouldn't have bothered asking," she continued.

There was a moment of silence. Robin's hands were clenched into trembling fists.

"How can you stand staying alone?" barked the masked boy wonder. "You never were part of the team!"

Raven made no reaction to the comment, instead they heard a high shriek from inside the tower.

"How may it be possible for a mirror to crack on its own?" asked Starfire audibly.

Raven stared at the sunset. How can Robin say that?

"Never mind," he whispered as he entered the tower. "We'll be at the park in case you change your mind."

"In case I change my mind?" she laughed silently. "Don't count on it."

Raven closed her eyes, and let the wind brush her short hair away. She loved it up here. It was quiet, and she could think…a lot. Something she couldn't do around the other titans. Something she couldn't do around Robin.

I was lost
And you were found
You seemed to stand on solid ground

"Yo Robin! Watch out!" shouted Cyborg.

Just then, a Frisbee hit the team leader on the back of the head.

"Robin, are you hurt?" asked the Tamaranean titan. She was sitting with Robin on the grass.

Somehow, Robin just scratched the back of his head, and turned his attention back to the tower.

"You never were part of the team!"

Guilt etched across his face.

"Robin, is there something wrong?" asked Starfire once more. "Robin?" she waved her hand in front of Robin's masked face.

"Woof!" the green dog asked, agreeing with the red headed alien.

"Yo, Robin!" said the metal man. "You hurt man?"

"No." he said quietly.

"Good, cause that Frisbee hit you hard." The green dog changed back to his normal form.

I was weak
And you were strong
And me and my guitar,
we strummed along, oh

Why is he thinking of Raven anyway? She never cared about them. She was never part of the team, remember?

Sweet misery you cause me
That's what you called me
Sweet misery you cause me

"Man, you thinkin' bout something?" asked the green changeling.

The titans looked at him worriedly.

"No, nothing." He smiled at Starfire. "Don't mind me."

Her emiotionless, pale, face flashed into his mind again.

I was blind
But oh, how you could see
You saw the beauty in everything, everything and me

Back at the tower…

Raven had her head to her knees.

She closed her eyes and mumbled. "Azarath Metrion Zinthos…."

"You never were part of the team!"

Robin's words echoed through her head.

The door to the roof slammed open.

"Azarath Metrion Zinthos…"

"How can you stand staying alone?"

The doorknob shattered into dust.

"Azarath Metrion Zinthos…"

"We'll be at the park in case you change your mind."

"In case I change my mind? Don't count on it."

The door itself crumpled itself and crushed itself to pieces.

Why was she pushing him away?

I would cry
And you would smile
You'd stay with me a little while

Raven's eyes opened. "My powers…"

Sweet misery you cause me
That's what you called me
Sweet misery you cause me

Back at the park…

"Oh my gosh!" a woman in the streets was pointing at the streetlights, all twisting themselves into different shapes.

"Help! I'm going mad!" the man was jumping and pointing at the benches that were crushed.

"Raven…"muttered Robin. He flipped open his communicator. "Raven, you okay?"

"I'm fine." She lied. "Stay there and have fun."

"But…" Robin complained

"I'm not part of the team, remember?"

And in my heart I see, oh
What you're doing to me
And in my heart I see, oh
Just how you wanted it to be
Sweet misery

Robin sat down again as the people started to clam themselves again.

Cool it man, she's just pissed off.

He reminded himself.
Pissed off of you.

Sweet misery you cause me
That's what you called me
Sweet misery you cause me

Why the heck does he care about her, alone in the tower, mad at him…

And in my heart I see, oh
What you're doing to me

Why the heck does she care about him? She never was part of the team, maybe never will…

And in my heart I see, oh
Just how you wanted it to be
Sweet misery

Raven's eyes were deep with concentration, staring at the city.

"You can't feel for him." She whispered. Her hands to her side, and her body was straight, straight with concentration.

"You just can't. Control you powers, Raven, control them! You must not feel for him…you must not feel…" She closed her eyes…and breathed.

I was weak
And you were strong
And me and my guitar,
we strummed along

Raven heard something behind her…footsteps…

She turned around and saw a man. A man with a mask and one eye.

The one eye was boring into her…something was different about it.

Raven found it hard to keep her eyes away from his and in his snap her eyes turned into a dark abyss.

I was weak
And you were strong
And me and my guitar,
we strummed along
