Review Responses
I'm going to make this short sweet and to the point. THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO HAS EVER REVIEWED THIS STORY!
Okay this is the FINAL CHAPTER! Yep that's right this story is officially 'so five minutes ago' however if enough people ask for it (about ten maybe fifteen) I'll make a sequel, I already have it planned out and the title will be 'A Bird's Romance' (It will be slightly fluffy but don't count on a lot of it because I'm not a fluffy kind a girl.)
Raven's SisterChapter 15
Kari's scream etched itself into the minds of the titans and while everyone but Robin felt betrayed by her and hated her for it, they still felt sick when they saw the blade enter her. Robin of course knew what was going on and practically screamed in frustration.
He was completely helpless, and he didn't like it. He couldn't save Kari and he couldn't save his friends. Slade took note of his frustration and sauntered over to him leaving Kari bleeding profusely from the knife that was lodged in her stomach.
"I told you I'd kill her slowly." He whispered maliciously. Robin felt sick as the blood began pooling around the girl. Suddenly he saw her raise her hand and wave it in their direction. The energy cells vanished leaving only five very, very angry titans and a slightly disturbed Slade.
"How did you…?" he demanded and then it dawned on him.
"Stupid BITCH!" he screamed. He made a motion to move towards her but Robin stood in front of her.
Raven knelt beside her sister and held her hand. "Hang on, we'll get you out of here."
Kari shook her head weakly. "GO, run before it's too late."
"It's okay we can handle Slade." Raven said still fighting the emotions that were having a field day in her head.
"Not Slade, me. Run." Kari whispered her face contorting with the effort it took to speak.
Raven felt her take one last breath, and suddenly a wave of energy washed out across the cave as Kari died. Rocks began rumbling and falling to the ground around them.
"Come on! WE have to get out of here!" Robin yelled as he grabbed her by the arm and forced her to her feet. Raven tried to get away but Robin wouldn't let go.
"We can't just leave her!" she cried.
Robin shook his head, "We don't have time! GO!" he yelled as he shoved her towards the ship. They climbed in and watched as the cave collapsed in on Kari's body. They could only hope as they escaped the disaster that Kari had succeeded in taking Slade with her.
(Later that same day)
"Raven? Can I come in?" Robin called quietly from outside her bedroom door.
"Yes." Raven said sadly as she gazed out her window wanting desperately to cry but knowing it wasn't safe.
"Raven, I'm so sorry about what happened to Kari." Robin whispered as he sat down on the edge of her bed, secretly hoping she wouldn't kill him for taking such a liberty.
She didn't seem to notice though.
"Robin, why did she do it?" Raven asked after a few minutes of complete silence.
"She had to, she had to try and make amends for the damage she had done." Robin answered.
"She didn't have to die just to make amends!" Raven cried.
Robin shook his head sadly; "I think she had her own reasons for her actions. One's we could never hope to understand."
Raven shook her head vehemently, "There were other ways! We could have helped her!"
Robin smiled slightly, "That's what I told her but she just laughed in my face and said, "You can't help me, no one can. You can't even help yourself."
Raven smirked, "I guess she was right, in the end she had to save us." Robin smiled, "She didn't have to, she chose to."
Damn right I did!
Raven gasped as a very familiar voice rang in her mind.
"Raven, are you okay?" Robin asked worried.
Tell him your fine!
Raven shook her head, "Yeah I'm okay."
He has a thing for you ya know.
WHAT? Raven answered back mentally.
I repeat he has a thing for you.
Raven blushed, "Are you sure your okay?" Robin asked staring at her.
Raven nodded, how do you know?
Because I can see his thoughts too and boy is he having some thoughts about YOU!
Raven could feel her face heating up at the prospect of what Robin might be thinking about her.
Want me to tell you?
NO…well yes maybe just a little. Raven replied embarrassed.
He's thinking how beautiful you are when you blush and certain things that would make him blush. Shall I continue?
Maybe you shouldn't. Raven answered.
Maybe I should. Came the reply.
"Raven there's something I have to tell you." Robin began. Raven's eyes widened.
What did you do? She demanded.
Nothing serious. I might have just nudged him into a certain decision.
"While I was trapped in that cavern all I could think about was how I could escape…escape and save you. I was so scared that something would happen to you that I didn't even think about anyone else's safety. Not even my own." He continued.
How ROMANTIC! The voice cried with a dramatic flair.
Raven blushed an even deeper shade of red. "Raven? Raven, I think I'm in love with you." Robin said finally.
YOU THINK? BOY YOU ARE HEAD OVER HEELS AND DON'T EVEN KNOW IT! Kari practically screamed inside Raven's head.
Raven winced but she couldn't keep back the flood of emotions that were rushing through her.
Don't worry about it; I'll keep them little monsters in check. Whew, Rage has a few issues for tissues, doesn't she?
Raven couldn't help cracking a smile at this. Robin saw the smile and couldn't help returning it.
"Well?" he asked hopefully.
Raven would have known how he felt without Kari's guidance by just looking into his eyes. Slowly she leaned forward and kissed him.
"Does that answer your question?" she whispered.
You go girl! Woo hoo! Party! Party!
Raven laughed, at Kari's antics and Robin's face.
"Yeah that answers it." Robin answered slowly with a slow seductive grin appearing on his face. Raven's eyes widened as Robin leaned it for a much more passionate and lengthy kiss. They broke it off and stared at each other.
"So…what now?" Robin asked not sure what would happen now.
Ask him out! Kari screamed excitedly.
Raven blushed, but decided what the heck. "Are you interested in being my boy-toy, I mean boyfriend?" she asked with a grin.
Oh we ALL KNOW what you meant!
Robin blushed furiously. "Yeah. He said finally.
Let the make-out session begin! A grinning voice whispered as Raven and Robin did just that.
Go AWAY! Raven shouted at her sister as she felt Robin's arms snake around her waist and pull her closer until she was practically in his lap.
OH All right, but try and keep it G-rated alright? I do have to live with your memories for awhile!
Raven smiled against Robin's lips and for once she felt completely safe, even if she did have her sister's spirit running around in her mind.
