I'm continuing this! Aren't you happy? So now Raven has togive Robin a slap of common sense. It will be RaeRob eventually. One clarification: I DO NOT LIKE JESSE MCCARTNEY! I just like some of his music.

Do I have to do this again? Disclaimer - If you think I own Teen Titans, you're very mistaken. I don't own own McCartneyor his songseither. And I don't want to own him.

Starin' out at the rain
With a heavy heart,
It's the end of the world
In my mind.

Slade was gone. Again. What price does one have to pay victory? Any price would be preferable to this failure. Failure to defeat the enemy. Failure to live up to the trust of the populace. Failure to live up to one's mentor. Failure to protect one's friends. It was frightening really, the impact one little mistake had on hundreds of people. And he wasn't even sure what that had been.

Then your voice calls me back
Like a wakeup call.
I've been looking for
The answer, somewhere.
But now I know what I didn't know.

"Robin" she said dryly. "Stop that. Now." He looked up from the window where he had been watching the storm and met her eyes blankly. "You're giving me a headache." Raven said, raising an eyebrow and putting a finger in her book to mark her place. "Super-heroes are not called perfect heroes for good reason. We all have faults. Brooding among them." she murmured as she turned back to her book.

Because you live and breath
Because you make me believe in my self
When nobody else can help.
Because you live, girl, my world,
Has twice as many stars in the sky.

He turned back to the window. Was that right? He had never said that he could defeat all the evil that had come his way. He has never promised omnipotence. But still, there was suffering in the world. And some of it because he had been weak. He took a deep breath. Had been. He could be stronger.

It's alright, I survived
I'm alive again.
'Cause of you I've made through
Every storm.

"Wonder Boy" Raven uttered darkly. "Go outside if you persist in this ridiculous self-pity." He looked at her. She was not meeting his gaze, instead concentrating on the book in her hands. She was a fine one to talk about self-pity. Demon girl, who spent half her time brooding in her room. She lifted her head to glare at him. He smirked.

'Cause in life what the use
If you're killed inside.
I'm so glad I've found an angel,
Someone who there when all my hopes fell.
I wanna fly looking in your eyes.

How did she survive the onslaughts of little failures? Failure to master her emotions, failure to control her temper. Failure keep Beast Boy quiet. Robin almost snickered. Even he, the Team Leader, could not accomplish that task. Suddenly he felt lighter. It was not the first time he had botched a job.

Because you live and breath
Because you make me believe in my self
When nobody else can help.
Because you live, girl, my world,
Has twice as many stars in the sky.

" . . . won't be the last time either." Raven's voice droned. He blinked at her in astonishment. She caught his shock and glanced at him. "Star. Her salad. Burned." She muttered by way of succinct explanation, jerking her head in the direction of the kitchen. Outcries, shrieks, calls for help and smoke poured out into the living room.

Because you live! I live.
Because you live there's a reason why
I carry on when I lose the fight.
I want to give what you've given me
Always.

Robin grinned. At least her sense of humor helped balance her morbid-ness. Or maybe it was just her ability of note the absurdities of life. And her caustic tongue in remaking about them. It gave him some sense of real life.

Because you live and breath
Because you make me believe in my self
When nobody else can help.
Because you live, girl, my world,
Has twice as many stars in the sky.

He looked out of the window. It was still pouring. He decided that the weather had no cosmic relation to his mood. He got up to go help in the kitchen.

Because you live! I live.

"Finally!" Raven said darkly.

I live.

Well, what do you think? Review and make your opinions count! Well, at least make your opinions known . . lol.

Kellalor: Thanks! lol

cutter-with-a-cause: Will do. How 'bout a series of one-shots?

A Titans fan: Thank you. How'd I do on Robin?

justareviwerswithareallylongname: Glad you like! Thanks for adding this to your favorites! And read the note above. I actually hate whats-his-name McCartney. I kinda like his music though.I don't like Lindsey Lohan either, and I absolutly hate Hillary Duff. That whole genre of disney pop jerks is so repulsive.
