A/N K, so this is getting good. Keep reviewing, and I'll keep writing. I'm working on like, a kagillion other stories, so my updates may come slowly. Oh, and I'm using Rozefire's old divider () instead of 10 s. Oh, and I let you off easy, AGAIN!

Disclaimer: None of the characters are mine. Not even Crow. I borrowed him for that chapter. Thanks to Peppermint Dream.

A Matter Of Trust: Chapter 6 Mind Readings and Hidden Powers

Raven knew that Robin wouldn't prank Starfire. He wasn't really the type to pull pranks. Beast boy was confident that Robin was the culprit, but then, Beast Boy didn't know everything, and Raven could read minds.

Raven didn't like to read minds, because everyone had a right to privacy. Raven insisted on having her privacy, to meditate, and such, and reading minds was an invasion of privacy. But in this case, Raven needed to know. She never told anyone that she could read minds, because they would be more careful about what they think- which they should be anyway. People could be very cruel without anyone knowing.

Raven closed her eyes, and rubbed her temples, like she had done when she was reading Starfire's mind. "Azerath, metrion, zinthos," chanted Raven, so softly that you couldn't hear her. She barely moved her lips. "Azerath, metrion, zinthos."

'Whoops. That prank was a total disaster. I didn't mean to throw Robin's underwear out the window. Ok, maybe I did, but I didn't mean to land them on Star's head...' Typical. It had been another of Beast Boy's mindless pranks. He had pulled a mindless prank, without having even the slightest thought of consequences, or of other's feelings.

Now that she had proof that what had been a prank of Beast Boy's, all that Raven needed was a way of revealing the truth, without showing her powers. Raven started to think. She started to think very hard.

"Rae, are you all right?" came Cyborg's voice, breaking into her thoughts.

"Huh? Oh, yeah." Raven shook her head, and used another power that she would like to remain hidden. She sent one of her thoughts to Cyborg.

Cyborg, I know that Beast Boy was pulling a prank on Robin, and threw robin's underwear his window. Cyborg heard Raven's voice in his head, but never saw her lips move. Raven stared at Cyborg, and Cyborg was over come by a dumbfounded expression. Raven sighed, and rolled her eyes. I can read minds, and send my thoughts to people. It's very convenient for having secret conversations. You're the first person on Earth I've told, so don't you dare tell anyone. Cyborg gulped.

"Robin, when do we start the hunt for Slade's hideout?" asked Starfire, out of the blue.

"After lunch." But none of them knew what would happen when they found him...

A/N Ha ha! A cliffhanger! I know what is going to happen, but you don't. You'll have to grant me five more reviews to find out. Oh, and thank you again to Peppermint Dream, for the use of Crow. And everyone go and check out my new story, Mother Goose the Teen Titans way. i used something of K. A. Applegate's, the way Raven sends her thoughts. if you happen to be reading this, Miss Applegate, I like your books, and I don't own thought speaking. You do.
