Strixvaria: thank you for like reviewing nearly all of my chapters!
azarathgirl: thank you, you kindness is umm very ver kind!
Febreese: Raven's powers didn't work coz her hands were in too much pain so they blocked out the magic so that's why they didn't work. and Raven hasn't kick Starfire's butt yet, 1)becoz her powers don't work fully 2) becoz her legs got burnt and 3) she will do eventually and she will kick her ass all the way to her crappy home planet!
Chica De Los Ojos Cafe: awww, thank you. yes it was nice of Robin. if only most men could be like that!
Chapter 7: Don't you trust me?
Robin woke up early the next morning. He went to lean over and hug Raven but landed flat on his stomach. He looked down and saw that Raven wasn't there. He looked around the room, searching for her. He then spotted her sitting on the window ledge. She was sitting with her legs to the side, staring out of the window into the storm of rain, harsh winds and lightening. She was so out of it, she didn't even notice Robin come and sit down next to her. She jumped slightly when he said, "Looks like we won't be training today."
She turned to him and said, "I wouldn't be training anyway seeing as how my father and Slade have burnt my hands and thighs with their secret ways." She stood up and walked across the room to get her clothes. "Sorry. I didn't mean to upset you Rae." Robin said walking over to her and putting his hands around her waist.
She closed her eyes and smiled. "It's ok. I just hate the way Trigon tries to ruin every aspect of my life. First he kills my mother. Then he takes my emotions from me. Now he's saying I can't live freely without getting burnt by water!"
"Well, at least he hasn't tried to ruin the aspect of your life which includes me." Robin said.
"That is an aspect he shall never be able to touch!" Raven said. She walked out of Robin's grasp and got changed. She then went downstairs and into the kitchen to make some tea. Robin soon followed her. He made himself some pancakes and as soon as he sat down to start eating them, the alarm sound went. "Titans! Trouble!" Robin's voice echoed through the tower. Soon all the titans came running into the main room to look at the screen. All except Raven who just sat on a stool in the kitchen drinking her tea. Robin explained the situation of Cinderblock breaking into a gold mine downtown. They all started to run out of the door. "Rae? Aren't you coming girl?" Bumblebee asked.
"I can't." She answered.
"Why?"
"I'll explain when you get back." She waved her hand for Bumblebee to go on.
Bumblebee nodded and flew after the others.
As time passed, Raven got more and more bored. She decided to go and have a look around all the parts of the Tower, which she had never looked at before. She got onto the 4th floor and stepped out of the elevator. She walked down the left part of the floor. She saw ahead of her a room with dust all over the door. She wiped away the dust covering the label of the door. 145789 are what it read. Raven raised an eyebrow. How strange, a room with a weird code number on it. She dialled in her identification code. The door swished open. She stepped inside and couldn't see anything. She felt around the wall next to the door then found the switch and flicked it up. The light shone bright in the room, blinding her. She let her eyes adjust to the room. There was no large, wall-sized window like there was in every other room of the tower. It had been painted with thick black paint. She walked over to a filing case across the room against a wall. She opened the top draw and a heap of dust flew out at her causing her to cough. She caught her breath and looked inside. It had files of some sort. She took one out and blew on it. It read 'RAVEN'. She looked puzzled at the strange folder. She flicked through the rest of the files. All of them read 'RAVEN' as well but they had some other word such as powers and medical after it. She opened the folder in her hand. She stared at wonder. It had all of her details in it. Her history, name, date of birth, home planet. Etc… She couldn't remember giving any of this information to the titans or anyone else for that matter apart from her home planet when she had switched bodies with Starfire. But how could they have got the rest of her information?
She put the folder away again and closed the draw. She looked down at the next draw. She wiped the dist from the label and it read 'ROBIN'.
She did the sane to the next draw. It read 'CYBORG'.
She went down another draw to see that it read 'BEAST BOY'.
She went down to look at the last draw to see that there was no dust on it at all. It had obviously been touched very recently. It read 'BUMBLEBEE'. So this was the room where everyone's details were kept. She still wondered though where they had got her information. She then looked around to see where all of Starfire's files had gone. She looked around the room and spotted a pile of ash on a glass box. She walked over to it and saw that there was the label of 'STARFIRE' lying amongst the ashes. "Must have been destroyed after she left us then." Raven said to herself.
Having had enough of this room, she went across to the next room. It was empty. And so were all the other rooms that weren't being used. "We have all this free space to create new rooms such as meditation rooms but they're all empty because no one can be assed to clean them out!" She said to herself. She decided that tomorrow she would choose a room and make it into a meditation room for herself. She had nothing better to do, as she couldn't train because of her being injured. Her thigh burns had healed slightly, enabling her to walk and but she still couldn't use her hands at all. She had overcome the barrier of not being able to wash and drink anything with or near water. For washing, she used a simple spell which she had found which made your hair as good as new and cleaned you from head to toe. As for not being able to drink or eat things with water, which basically included everything that was edible, she took a small pill, which somehow enabled her to drink and eat with out burning up.
She walked down to the living area and sat down and began to read. The doors of the tower burst open and the Titans all marched in, soaked to the bone. Raven smiled at them then suddenly, the smile turned into an outraged frown. "WHAT IS SHE DOING HERE?" Raven said, spitting and shouting at the same time, pointing at a figure near the doorway.
"Why don't you ask them?" Robin said, storming past Raven and collapsing on the sofa.
Raven just glared at Starfire. She had no clue as to why the Titans had let her come back. She was an enemy and had tried to destroy every one of them. She had also lied to Robin very much so, worked for Slade out of choice, and also, tried to turn every one of them against Raven and throw her out of the tower.
"Star's not evil anymore Rae!" Beast Boy said to the angry looking Goth girl.
"She helped us fight Cinderblock and escaped form Slade's grasp!" Cyborg said.
Starfire just stood there with a wide smile on her face. "Hello friend Raven! I have returned!" Starfire said.
"You stopped being my friend the moment you tried to get me thrown out of the tower!" Raven said scowling.
"Raven! Why are you always rude! Starfire isn't evil anymore! She's back to being Starfire!" Beast Boy said to Raven.
"Well that's nice. But when Starfire tried to make everyone of you hate me, she was not under any influence of Slade at all! I'm going, I can't stand to be in that room with her any longer." Raven walked out of the room. Robin chased after her.
"Why don't you go see Starfire? I bet you're glad she's back and will be wanting to get back with her." Raven said.
"I don't and I'm not. I don't for one second believe she's gone from trying to kill us yesterday, to being our best friend again today. Raven I love you, not that stupid person I used to call my friend." Robin said.
In the living room, Cyborg and Beast Boy were talking non stop about how great it was to have Star back and how they missed her so much. Bumblebee said she needed to go to the toilet quickly, managing to escape from the living room for a while. She bumped into Raven and Robin who were holding each other. "Sorry guys. I just needed to get away from that lot for a while." Bumblebee said.
"Wait. Aren't you happy to see Starfire supposedly good again?" Raven asked her.
"Well, if you ask me, I don't trust that girl for one second. Better not tell Cyborg that or he'll turn on me just like he did with you two." Bumblebee shrugged and walked off.
At least Robin and Raven weren't the only ones who didn't believe Starfire's claims of her being good again.
"He doesn't trust me! And she has every influence over him! I shall just have to change that." Starfire smiled widely at her thought. She was every inch not to be trusted!
