"C'mon, put up a better sweat. My grandma can do better."

Raven just growled her teeth. "Well your grandma didn't have to wake up at 5 in the morning everyday and train with an arrogant little bast-"

"Raven, Raven, Raven…you've gotta learn how to do something SOMEtime. Why not now?" Red X said as he gripped her chin in his hand, "While you're still young." He smiled.

The Goth gritted her teeth before punching the boy's stomach and walking to her water bottle with a smile plastered on her face at the sound of his groan.

During the past month or two, Red X has been training Raven. Everything he knew was slowly getting into her. All his techniques, his styles and agility, even his secret winning strategies. Raven, being a fast learner didn't have much trouble…except when Red X would get too hot and have to shed some clothing, or when he would be so close she could feel his breathe on her, but other than that she was finding this quite important. During battles along with her teammates, she would be kicking huge ass. She even got to take down Jinx by herself…like she's always wanted.

Though Raven has been taking this very seriously, Red X was having a fun time. What could be more fun than watching the girl you love stretch, work out, and sweat all the time?

As Raven drank her water bottle, Red X rubbed his stomach and managed to take off his mask and top half.

"So, let's spar. I wanna see how you're doing. Maybe after 2 weeks of training, you can beat me in a spar."

Raven put her drink down, almost spilling it as she looked over at Brian. She got the feeling he wants to mess with her.

"Hello...?" He walked over to her and waved a hand infront of her face.

"Huh? Oh…yeah lets spar." She said totally spaced out.

He just smiled, "You might want to take off your jacket, it might get hot in here."

Raven gave him an annoyed look as she took off her jacket and backed away a few steps. She took her newly learned fighting stance and they began.


"Beast Boy, can you give me a hand here?"

"Oh, yeah"

Beast Boy took hold of one side of a huge box, carrying it to the training room.

"So what in here?" the changeling asked.

"Just a few more punching bags. But this time they're made out of beans that weigh about 1/4th of a pound each." Robin answered.

"Dude! No wonder it's so heavy. I'm guessing you're getting bored?" Beast Boy smirked.

"Well actually, I had a spar between me and Raven a while ago."

"Oh, so who won?"

"Cant you guess?" chuckled the Boy Wonder.

"…"

"Me, stupid."

"Oh…did she really suck?" Beast Boy said as they rounded a corner and entered the training room.

"Yeah kind of. Maybe she's just stressed or something, but I think we could all get a nice tune up."

The boys set the box down next to the old punching bags and walked out.

"Are you kidding? I'm all muscle baby." Beast Boy smirked as he flexed his muscles.

The heard a similar half robot burst into laughter from the common room. Robin snickered at the sight of his green friend fuming.

"See ya Rob, I have a certain robot to deprogram." Beast Boy ran to the common room grunting.

Robin just smiled and knocked on Raven's door as he heard his robotic friend scream like a girl 'THAT'S WHERE I CHARGE, NOT FOR TOFU TO GO IN!"

"Raven? You in there?" Robin asked, colliding his knuckles to her door softly. "Helooo?" He knocked once more, and decided to open it just to see if he might be talking to her furniture.

The boy scanned the room, finding only her prized possessions.

'Damn…what a clean-" he stopped in mid though at the sight at her opened window.

Red X's mask lifted above his nose, letting his mouth caress Ravens. Raven massaging his back as he rubbed her hips soothingly.

Sure, Robin was smirking on the outside, but in the inside…he felt like ripping apart that dumb bastard for taking away HIS Raven, HIS love, HIS one and only. He tucked his hands in his hidden pockets, and cleared his throat remotely audible.

Raven gasped and pushed herself away from Red X's grasp.

"…Robin…" She panted, still in shock, and of course of not being able to breathe for a few minutes.

"Hey Raven, X."

"Robin." Red X said formally as he wiped remaining saliva off his mouth as he pulled his mask back down.

"What are you doing in my room?"

"Just though I'd stop by and see how you're doing." Robin said relaxed. "Oh, and were having a training session in an hour or so, all of us."

"…Ok…" Raven just glared at him, trying to get him to leave under her stare.

"Yeah…" the Boy Wonder sighed, not budging.

"So, Robin, how's it going?" Red X stepped infront of Raven and walked over to Robin, extending his hand.

"I'm fine, how about you? Anything new?" Robin smiled shaking his hand.

Raven just gawked at them. 'Better yet, why don't they both get out of my room.' She knew X was just toying with Raven, as was Robin.

"Not really, Just kissing my girlfriend."

"Oh, sounds fun." Robin smirked, giving Raven a small glance.

"Yeah, it is. Wanna give it a try?"

"Sure."

Both secretly knowing they're seeing what Raven might do…they both knew her reactions were the funniest.

Raven just glared at Red X, until she saw Robin walk past Red X coming towards her…not knowing Robin gave him a small wink.

"WOAW!" She put a hand in front of Robin, stopping him from coming any further. "OUT!" Giving him and her boyfriend a look of horror mixed with confusion…and a small bit of amusement.

"Sorry man, maybe next time." Red X snickered, patting Robin's shoulder, indicating to step away from his girl and end this small charade.

But Robin just stared at Raven. To her, it looked as if he really wanted to kiss her, and he kept smirking and staring at her lovingly. Confused emotions were stirring inside of her.

Finally, he turned away and started to walk out the door.

"I'll be back…" He winked, but to Raven. Making her flush incredibly.

"That guy's alright." Red X draped his arm over his confused looking love.

"Uhh…what was that!" She gave him a death glare.

"Just a little guy fun." He nudged her side and walked back to her near the opened window. "So I guess the kid doesn't hate me. Last time we met up, he almost threw a fork at me." X snickered.

"What if he actually kissed me?" She said suddenly changing the happy karma.

The boy in black frowned. "He wouldn't have…he gave me a wink before he walked to you." 'Or would he…?' He said silently.

"Yeah, but you didn't see the look he gave me after I stopped him." She murmured barely audible.

"What was that?"

"Nothing…by the way…"

"What is it?" He said sitting on the ledge of her window.

Raven murmured her three famous words, and Red X was being levitated out her window.

"I can play games as well." She smirked, and let go.

He was expecting revenge from her, though and was prepared.

"See ya, beautiful." He saluted and disappeared.


Robin walked out of Raven's room, hands in pockets, head hung, smile disappearing under a saddened look.

'Well that was a teaser.' He thought, jokingly.

He sighed as he walked into his room and changed into his gym clothes.

'I wonder what X would have done if I did kiss her. He'd probably try to kick my ass.'

Robin couldn't help but feel jealous. Everything he was working for was finally paying off, until he came in the picture. That day in the water, his first kiss with her. She was really good at it. He couldn't tell if it was her first kiss, but he didn't care. He was beginning to like her, and almost love her. But things changed when he kicked her out. That's when she met him.

Robin walked out of his room, as he hit something and made it fall over.

"Oh, I'm sorry-"

"It is ok, Robin. I am not hurt." Starfire stood back up. "So shall we all enter the room of training?"

"Yeah…do you know if anyone else is there yet?"

"I have only seen our friend Raven enter an earth minute ago. I am going there in a short period of time, shall you join me?"

"Sure." He started walking in step with her in silence the whole way to the training room.

'God, I miss her touch. Raven was so dark…but when she touched you, the gentleness was like heaven. I want to be with her so bad. If that dumbass Red X even made her shed just one tear, I'll make sure he goes to hell. But what would happen if he broke up with her? She would probably be heart broken. I can imagine her now, crying her eyes out…things exploding- wait…how come nothing was exploding when I walked in on their kissing session? How come she-' Robin would have finished his thought if his head didn't collide with a metal exterior.

"Ughh…" Robin grunted as he rubbed his forehead.

"Well that's using your head." Robin heard a familiar monotonous sarcastic voice echo in his throbbing head.

"Oh Robin! Are you injured? Should I get the tablets of Tylenol to help your ache of the head?" Starfire squealed rushing by his side.

"That would be nice…" He murmured loud enough for her to hear.

"I shall return shortly, do not move from your position." The humble princess left Raven and Robin to get the medicine.

"Sit down." Raven said giving him a gentle push for him to sit on the equipment. "This is ironically strange. You come in here the most, and yet you don't know when to duck under a metal bar."

"I was…deep in thought."

"About what?" Raven asked sitting next to him.

Robin just looked at her. Her purple orbs always put him under a spell.

Soon, his gaze started to make Raven uncomfortable. Her mixed emotions started to kick in again, like in her room.

"You don't have to say if you don't want to." She soothed.

"Ok." He finally looked away, remembering to engrave her perfect eyes into his head.

"So…-"

"Raven, can I talk to you? Maybe later, or tomorrow or something, but I would really like it if we could talk."

The girl looked deep into his mask, wondering if she looked hard enough, she could penetrate through the mask to see his mysterious eyes.

'What happened to the ever so cocky Boy Wonder?' She thought.

"Sure." She looked down, finding her shoes more important than life itself, right now.

He shifted his position, accidentally placing his hand on top of Raven's. He felt her hand shake suddenly at his touch. Robin quickly took his hand back, "Sorry."


"Man! She is kicking butt out there!"

"Dude, I'll never get on her bad side again…"

The Titans eyed him, knowing he'd probably get on her bad side in an hour.

"Yes, I agree. Friend Raven is doing a wonderful job at defeating the evil cardboard." She smiled.

"Ok Raven, you're almost done." Robin announced through a microphone.

Raven was kicking here, punching there. Jumping whenever she got the chance. She jumped and landed on her hands, making her legs do a spilt as she kicked the last two cardboard cut outs of the HIVE members.

The Goth stood back up and wiped the sweat off her forehead, panting heavily.

"Wonderous job, Raven!" She head Starfire yell…without the microphone. She looked back at the window with her four teammates; the guys were covering their ears as Star started to yell some more.

"You have done a most satisfying job of kicking the butt of our enemies!"

As Raven walked up the stairs to the window where her friends were, Robin was going down it, giving her the stopwatch.

"You were 5 minutes and 23 seconds. Now watch the master." He smirked and jogged down the rest of the stairs to leave her rolling her eyes.

Raven was greeted by a rib-crushing hug from Starfire.

"Star…"

"I hope that you did not have much difficulty."

"Star…my …bones."

"Oh! I am sorry." Starfire giggled and let go.

"Yeah nice job, Dark Girl." Cyborg patted her on the back.

"That was awesome!" Beast Boy contributed in the compliments.

Raven just gave them a smile and sat down. 'Wow…Brian's training sessions really did work out.'

"Alright, Rob. Ready…GO!" Cyborg said.

Raven started the stopwatch, and looked from Robin to the watch…Robin, to the watch…Robin, Watch…Robin…. Watch…Robin…Robin…Robin…Robin.

'God he looks good when he fights. I never noticed that before- RAVEN! What the hell are you thinking about?' The stopwatch started to levitate in a black energy.

As Robin started to finish his session, Raven was getting curious, of all the wrong things.

'I wonder what he looks like in a pool. Would he wear Speedo's, or boxer shorts? Would he take off his mask? What color were his eyes? I wonder if he was good in bed. Woaw. What did I just—oh my gosh.'

"Watch thinking about?" She heard a voice from behind her.

She turned around and saw Robin, wiping his face with a towel. Raven looked around to see everyone gone. She looked down at the stopwatch in her hand. 7minutes, 4 seconds.

"Everyone went downstairs to congratulate me. They said you stayed up here and stayed really quite, so they left you here." Robin said as he leaned against the controls of the training room and crossed his arms over his chest.

"Are you ok?"

"…I'm fine." She got up and started to walk out the door.

"Hey, Raven!"

The girl turned around, "What?"

"I was…I…" He got up from leaning on the desk and rubbed the back of his neck.

"You were…" Raven waited.

"I was wondering if-"

"Raven! Friend Raven? Are you in the room of Training?"

Raven and Robin down at the door from the stairs, and saw Starfire's head pop in the door.

"Rav- Oh! Hello friend Raven! I was wishing that you and I could converse about something that I was acquiring to tell you." Starfire asked.

"Umm…" Raven turned back around to see Robin hanging his head low and playing with his thumbs as he went back to leaning on the desk.

"I…" She looked back to Starfire, then back to Robin. She didn't want to leave Robin in the middle of his sentence, but she didn't want to push away Star.

'I have definitely got to time these things.' Robin thought as he looked back AT Raven, who was looking at him to Starfire and back to him. '…Does she not want to leave? Maybe she doesn't want to hurt my feelings.'

"Go ahead, I'll talk to you later." Robin said giving her a weak smile.

"Are…are you sure?" Raven gave him a look of sympathy. 'He really looked like he needed someone to talk to before…I haven't even really said anything to him this week.'

"Yeah…" Robin smiled at her, "Ill come get you later." He said as he touched her cheek and jogged down the stairs, passing Starfire.

"Thank you, Robin!" Starfire squealed after him.

Raven touched her cheek where he had touched a few seconds ago.

"Umm…Raven? Are you not above the weather?"

"Oh, sorry." Raven ran down the stairs and followed Starfire to her room.

As raven took a seat on Star's bed, she cringed looking around at all the pink fluffiness.

"So, what do you want to talk about?"

"Raven, I wish to tell you how troubled I am. The feeling of guilt is most rare on Tamaran, but I having some which I hope to realize by telling you something."

"Ok…what is it?"

"Do you remember when I have deceived you and caused you much pain?"

"Yes…I'm hoping your talking about that roof incident."

"Yes, I am. I wish to tell you that I am now going to confess what I have done. I did not know that I was keeping this from our team until the break of fasting." The alien frowned and bowed her head in disappointment.

Raven kept quite, she knew Star should confess, it was just a matter of time.

"So, may you please collect the boys of this team, and meet me in the room of commons."

"Sure Star," Raven put a hand on Star's slumped shoulder, "I'm sure they wont be mad." 'That's because they know already.'

The dark girl did not trust Starfire just yet. Yes, she forgave her but no one can win her trust that easily. It doesn't mean she hates Star, they were still good friends, but trust was a factor she was going to have to win it back slowly.


Robin was leaning back against his cushioned seat with his arms crossed against his chest. With his legs kept unbent, his steel toed boots crossed in a relaxing manner. He sat next to the head of the oval table, since he wasn't the one announcing the event.

Raven leaned forward in her chair. She propped her elbows on the oval table used for important meetings and laced her finger together as she stared at nothing.

Beast Boy sat on the top of his chair's back and put his feet on the cushioned seat as he let his elbows rest on top of his knees. He sat across from Raven and next to Cyborg.

Cyborg turned his chair backwards and sat down with his crossed arms draped over the top of the chair's back. He sat next to the head of the table, and across from Robin.

Starfire, at the head of the table brought her knees up and hugged them tightly, fearing rejection. She rested her head on her knees, only letting her eyes pop out from the surface of her knees.

She waited for an answer. Telling them the truth and waiting for their approval or disapproval was quite nerve racking. Starfire looked over at Raven, who was looking at the guys. She guessed she had already forgiven Starfire and awaited their answer as well.

'She is so good to me, I love her like my own sister.' She thought as she looked away from Raven and moved her eyes to Beast Boy.

She saw a look of slight disappointment, something she was expecting. But what she didn't expect was his lack of surprise.

'Why was he looking at the desk, as if he knew what I have done?'

The princess gave up on Beast Boy and looked to Cyborg. He held the same look as Beast Boy.

'I hope he will not be as mad as I was thinking.'

Now, the time she did not want to face. She looked at Robin almost hesitantly, to find that he held the most anger in his facial expression. He looked so frustrated, yet so stressed, as if he wasn't blaming her for his stress.

'He probably does not want to be mad at me, but cannot decide against it. Oh, I wish I should have never done that terrible act of foolishness.'

"Why?"

Everyone was startled at Robin's voice breaking the silence, as well as having a harsh tone. They looked at him then to Starfire waiting for her answer.

"I…I was confused."

"About what?"

"Robin…I…I don't not wish to answer-"

"Star-" Robin's voice getting harsher.

"Robin."

Robin turned as he felt a soft touch on his forearm. His look of anger was wiped away at the sight of Raven's sorrowful eyes.

"Don't make her answer something she doesn't want to. We already talked, and I forgave her. There isn't a reason you should keep being angry with her."

Robin just looked at Raven. 'How did she have the power to alter his feelings with just one look? She never seizes to amaze me.'

"Please Robin, I am truly sorry-" Starfire started to weep, "I didn't not know what I was thinking! I was being a glorthog and should be punished for it."

Robin looked from Starfire to Raven, and saw a look that definably said, 'Give her another chance.' He went from Raven to Beast Boy, he was looking at Raven, then shook his head in agreement. Last, he looked Cyborg. Cyborg was looking at his thumbs. Robin knew that look, it meant he wasn't sure if the idea suggested was right. He was Cyborg look at the weeping princess and nods his head towards Robin.

"Star?"

"Yes, Robin?" She looked up with red, puffy eyes.

"We…we forgive you."


"She is getting away with this too easily, I'm telling you!"

"Beast Boy, like you haven't made mistakes before."

"But…this was huge-"

"I got over it, why cant you?

"Because! If me and Cy never figured it out, we would have never let you back in the freakin' building!"

"Listen, have a night to think about it. Her own hormones got caught up in her actions, learn from it." Raven rolled her eyes and entered her room.

Beast Boy was left staring at her door, not being surprised she shut the door in his face.

"But still!"

'Hmm…what will make him go away? Ah, I know.'

Raven slid the door open enough for Beast Boy to just see one side of her face. But as he looked up to see her, he instead looked at a mirror, reflecting himself, that was being held up to her face.

"AHHH!"

Raven brought it back down.

"Now you know how I feel everytime I see you standing by my door. Like screaming." And with that, she again, shut the door in his face.

Beast Boy's eye started twitching as he stomped away.


Shout outs-

Raspy- yeah, you were right about the whole, trusting star so easily. So I added that little thing earlier. If not enough, tell me. Maybe some ideas? Thanks though, for pointing that out.

Chica De Los Ojos Café (and a few others who I'm too lazy to name) – thx for the idea of telling the other about how it was Star's fault. Hope I made it the way you guys meant.

Others- thanx for the awesome reviews.

M-
