Here's your daily update. Robin's day for disclaimer.
Robin: She doesn't own us,
Me: (sighs)
Robin: Heard that.
Me: Not like you care.
Robin: I do, though.
Me: (snorts) Yeah, sure.
I would like to pint out that when I said Robin was slightly annoyed by the ticket lady's prepiness and that she was almost as bad as Star that she asked him out and he doesn't like her very much. Got it? I know, it doesn't make much sence, but that's my excuse for that little thing.
I Was Lost
Drat the alaram! I don't want to be awake. Going to the movies with Rebecca was fun, but I'm paying for staying up so late. As I walk down the stairs, I think about Starfire. How would Raven feel if she knew Star was my girlfriend? Of course, I haven't seen Raven in five years, so I can't really make any conclusions about what she might think.
When I get down the steps, I see that Anna is wating for Rebecca. "Hey, Anna." I greet her. She nods at me, her manor of saying hi. "Have you seen Ra ... Rebecca?" she asks. I don't know if was my imagination, but I thought I heard her start to say Raven. Right at this moment, I hear feet coming down the stairs. I tell Anna I've got to go, but only round the corner so the whoever comes from upstairs and Anna can't see me.
After a minute, I see the person is Rebecca. But Anna begs to differ. "Hey, Raven. What took you so long." My heart starts to beat really fast. So I was right! It was no wonder she seemed so much like Raven! She is Raven! Not thinking better, I come out from my hiding place. I smile as I look at my long lost best friend. After five years of her absence, I have found Raven.
I can tell she's not exactly happy with me finding out who she really is. But she doesn't excatly know who I am, either. "So I have been revealed to you?" she asked. It amusses me.
"No, Raven. I have known you since you came from Azarath." Hermouth drops open. "How do you know this? Who are you?" "I know you for who you really are, Raven Roth. Why did you leave us?" I answer her. My words sink ito her mind for a minute. Then she answers, "I am inclined to ask how you have discovered this information."
I just smile and turn my back to her. Being the catious freak I am, I brought my Robin uniform with me. My mask, however, I kept in my pocket. I dig for it, planing to reveal myself to my long lost best friend. I bring my mask to my face, now concealing my identity. I turn back around to face Raven and Anna. The look on their faces were priceless. Finally, I am reunited with Raven. Finally I get to see her again. Finally, finally, finally.
It takes her a moment to disable her discuise, but when she does, I am pleased. Now she's the violet hair and eyed Azarathian I used to know. She runs at me, arms outstreched. She makes contact, and we hug. "Oh, my God, Robin, I thought I'd never see you again!" So much for unemotianal Raven. She was going all crazy because of this. But I can't really blame her. "It's great to see you tooo, Raven."
Anna, as it turns out, is uninterested with our reunion. She clears her throat, remind us that she is there. Raven I guees for lack of something better to do, states that we should go eat breakfast. Anna and I nod and follow her into the kitchen.
I can tell both Raven and I can't wait to see the look on Bruce's face when he sees Raven as Raven, not Rebecca. We walk in and see Bruce. But he's not surprised. He looks like he's been excpecing this. Insted of being surprised he had a smug grin implanted on his face.
"You knew about this the whole time!" Raven exclaimed. Bruce just nodded. Raven wasn't to pleased with this. She must feel like she can trust Bruce to tell her secrets that involve her. But after the initial shock, Raven just sat down a nd piled some sasage dip on her plate and began stuffing it iner mouth as to avoid futher disscussion.
With nothing else up for disscussion, I bring up the Titans. "So how're my little imps?" Raven asks almost playfully. Oh, joy. Here it comes. The part where I've got to tell Raven that I'm going out with Star. "Well, Terra's back, and is dating Beast Boy." I say. I don't want to dive right in and tell her.
She nods, as if telling me to continue. "Cyborg's dating Bumblebee." She nods again. Oh, Lord here comes the plunge.
"And Star, well, Star's dating, um, me." I blush deeply, but Raven doesn't notice. I look away from Raven, and begin to scarf down my breakfast. This, however, Raven does notice. I hope she doesn't take into consideration what she sees me doing. I don't know why, but I feel uncomfortable talking about dating around Raven.
After breakfast, Raven takes off. I just slowly get up and start to wander. I know there's so much I could be doing; I could watch T.V., get on the computer, call the Titans, take a walk, and whole list of other things. But I just walk. I let my feet take me where they want to, as if they have a mind of their own.
On my way to wander on the second floor, I run into Raven. I assume she's got nothing to do, and is chosing to wander, just like me. "Het, Raven." I flat out state. "Robin." she says. "Whatcha doin'?" I reply, wating to know what she's doing for no reason. "Self tour. I've never seen the third floor." I just grin. "May I accompany you, milady?" Oh, sure, go all midevil on her, Dick, real smooth. She sighs, but then says, "Sure, why not."
"So what have you been doing these past five years?" I ask, trying to bring up conversation. "Nothing much. I have a job at Wal - mart. It doesn't pay much, but it's enough to get by."
I smile. She want a more carefree life, this much I can tell. So I bring up how the Titans and I are doing. "Well, crime fightings going good. But hey, why tell you? You're coming back to Titans Tower with me, right?"
To my dissatisfation, she sighs. I guess I was wrong. Maybe she likes her little life as Rebecca Ranth, working at Wal - mart and hanging out with Anna. Maybe the Titans have sunk below her level.
"I don't know, Robin. It was hard enough to dropmy idenity the first time. I lead a normal life now Robin. I honestly don't know if I can just drop all of that to be a Titan again." Is that all? She's afraid to drop her new identity? Why wouldn't she? She's done it once already.
I look at Raven with heart felt sadness in my eyes. And she notices it. She steps in front of as if to get a view of my whole body. "Look, Robin, don't take it personally. I love you all like you were my family. And you guys were my family. But now, I've got Anna and Bruce and my friends at work. Don't take it the wrong way, but this is going to take some thinking."
I nod. I just nod. I know Raven's thinking, "He can't seriously take it like that." I'm not. If she doesn't want to come back, I can't make her. But it sure would mean alot to me if she did. After all she is my best friend.
We finally reach one of the elevevators, and since we haven't gotten to the third floor, Raven suggests we take it. Boy, do I agree. A man can only handle so many steps.
I nod to Raven's suggestion, press the button and let her in. I can tell she doesn't appreciate me letting her go first; she never did like being treated like that. We step in and I see Raven has pressed the button for the thrid floor. As we're on our way up, the elevator starts to shake. I'm glad Raven acts upon first instect, because I don't know what would have happened if she hadn't given her cry og, "Azarath Metrion Zinthos". But even under the influance of Raven's magic, the elevator shakes, sending us both topling to the floor.
I land with an "umph" ontop of Raven. I notice Raven blushes a deep scarlet after seeing me on top of her. I wonder ... The elevator starts to shake more violently, and I jump off Raven to allow her to summon her powers and stop this madness. The elevator is again encased in Raven's black power. Finally, it stops shaking. I can tell Raven has brought us down to the Bat Cave. She telekineticly opens the door and pushes me out first, obliviously caring more about others safety than her own. I look around, knowing Batman is somewhere in this place. Raven spots him first. "What happened?"
Footnotes:
Thanks to all reviwers.
It has come to my attention that I left out a footnot in the last chapter. I left out the part about Robin having a sad look in his eyes. He took off that stupid mask of his. Oh, yes, and Robin and I are having a fight, so excpect him to be complaining in his next few disclaimers.
I will now start a next time ma bob.
Next time... "I don't know, Raven. I could have been anything." Bruce began. "But don't worry about it, you're goig home tomorrow anyway."
