Hello, fans! Raven and Robin have returned from vaction, so today they will do the disclaimer together.
Raven & Robin: She doesnt own Teen Titans.
Me: Well, a girl has the right to dream.
Robin: But you take it to the extreme.
Raven: I've got to agree with him on that one.
Me: (mutters) It's a concperiacy against me.
Raven and Robin: Not really.
I Was Lost
I wake up that morning feeling refreshed and ready for action. I walk over to my closet and pull out one of my uniforms and slip into it (A/N See footnotes). I first take a little jog around the tower to get my blood pumping. Once I'm done with that, I jog up to the gym and train until breakfast is ready.
"So, Robin, I heard you broke up with Star last night." Cyborg states, yet asks when I come in. "Yes, I did." I say, wondering what he's going at. "Was that by any chance a move to get together with that Rebecca girl?" I have to take time to get out of the inital shock of it all. "No, not really. I'm not sure if I like her. I broke up with Star because she to diffrent from me."
Cyborg eyes me. "Is that the real truth?" he asks. "Yes, Cyborg. Rebecca's just a friend." Cyborg smirks at me, thinking I'm not telling the whole truth. But I don't know if I'm telling the truth, or lying like a dog.
"So, Cy, what's for breakfast?" I ask once everyone starts to file in. "Bacon, eggs, and an old favorite of Raven's, waffles." Everyone's faces fall as he mentions our lost comrade. Although I know excatly where Raven is, I'm starting to feel like she's never coming back to the Titans.
After breakfast, I intended to go back to the gym to work out, but instead, I go up to Raven's room. I punch in the access code that overrides the others; the one only I know. I walk in to the long abondoned room, taking in the dark sights and the smell of lavender.
After Raven left, I used to come in here everyday out of sorrow. I would either lock myself in here or in my room and only come out to eat and when the alarm went off. But I guess somehow Starfire helped me det over my state of depression over Raven. But now, as I stand here in her empty room, I fall back into the depression that so long ago took me into it's clutches. Raven, won't you come back?
I look around at the would be dusty room. I come in here to dust and clean every once in awhile. If and when Raven finally makes up her mind to come back, I hope she appreceates that I've kept her room clean for five years.
I don't know what I should do. I haven't been in here for a couple of weeks, so it's started to get a little dusty. I get a rag and a little funiture polish and dust. But that doesn't take too long, and it's not even 11:30 yet. My thoughts drift right back to Raven. What did she used to do when she wanted to take up time? The answer shines clear in my mind: Meaditate or read.
So I squarely sit myself in the middle of the floor and cross my legs just like Raven used to. I recall her constant chant of 'Azarath Metrion Zinthos' and repeat it in my mind. It calms my wanting of Raven to come back, making it lesser. But after several minutes of Raven's meaditating, I get tired of it. So I move on to option two: reading.
I stand up from my spot in the middle of Raven's room and walk to my right where her book cases are. I look around at the old volumes, my eyes roaming, looking for something that I might want to read. My eyes then fall on a book called 'Scarlett Blade'. It appears to be the book the movie we went to see is based on. I'm surprised to see Raven acctually owns this book. The movie itself was pretty romantic.
I come out of Raven's dark room, as I can't read in that lighting, and make my way to my own room. I open the door and settle in on my bed. I begin to read the novel. Scarlett really is alot like Raven, in the sense that she doesn't want alot of power and would rather die than have her friends hurt.
The book takes me into the good end of the day. I haven't finished it, but it's time for dinner, and I'm pretty hungry. I get up from my spot on the bed and head towards the kitchen. "Hey Cyborg, what's for dinner?" I ask, but no one's there. I shrug and look at the piece of paper on the counter.
Robin,
The four of us went out for pizza. I figured we'd leave a note so you don't think we've gotten
kidnapped or something,
L8r,
Terra
I shrug it off, and look at the clock. 6:45. I look in the fridge and see what's there. I see a left over burger that isn't covered in blue fuzzy mold, and decide that is my best bet. Instead of sitting down, I lean against the counter. I know I'm going to go back to my room soon anyway, so what's the point?
I'm about to go back to reading Raven's book when I get this feeling that I need to go down to the docks. At first, I ignore it, but it feels like someone's trying to tell me something. I sigh and turn around. I guess I better trust my gut on this one.
I run out into the garage and rev up my bike (A/N: See footnotes). I grab my helment and shove it on my head. Like they say, I've seriously got to put the pedal to the medal. I arrive at the docks five past seven. But all I hear is silence. I walk over to the door, which, to my surprise, is wide open. This must mean someone sent me a telepathic message.
I walk in, trying to think of who could possibly have sent me that message. It hits me when I see a wave of black power. Raven. Another thought hits me. The other night, it was Raven's thoughts I was reading. Our bond has come back in to play.
As I make my way over, I can help but gawk. I've seen Raven as herself lately, but not in her uniform. Which makes me wonder. "Is this some clever way you've devised to tell me you're coming back to the Titans?" She shakes her head. "My ex - fiance decided he wanted to kidnapp a friend of mine." Irony's such a bitch (A/N: See footnotes).
For some reason, a low growl emitts from my throat. Could I be mad at this "male" for breaking Raven's heart. Could I be jealous that would have married Raven? "There's something else I need you to know, Robin. David is Re ..." But she's cut off by someone jumping from the celing at her.
"Did you think you could get away that easily, Rebecca?" he asks after doing a perfect flip and landing on his feet facing Raven. I notice he's wearing the old Red X suit. That must have been what Raven was trying to tell me before he attempted to kill his ex by jumping on her.
"David, David. Don't you know, I'm Raven Roth? Just because you've got a bunch of fancy red x's doesn't mean you can just take me like that. So if you don't mind, I'll take Danny, and Robin and I'll be leaving." God, is she wrong about that. She surely must have some idea about how tough this guy is?
I hear a chuckle come Raven's way. "No, dearest. You're going to pay for not telling me who you really are." Goodness, all this because she didn't tell him who she was? But I drop my thoughts when I see Raven signaling me. I pull out my bo - stick, ready to kill this guy, and run for David while Raven runs the other way. I figure she's running to go get her friend that has been kidnapped.
After several minutes, Raven runs back in and sees me battling it out with her infamous ex fiance. She pushes me out of the way, running at Red X, fist clenched. She punches his stomach extremly hard, and he doubles over in pain, falling to the ground.
While he's sprawling on the ground, we run out of the warehouse.
"We can't leave him in there, you know."I state. "We're not, look around." She points to show me that the whole Police Department is there. "Now how'd I miss that?"I ask jokingly.She just shrugs.
"You know I dumped Starfire?" I suddenly ask as we sit on the curb, waiting for the police cheif. "You ... you did?" She asks. "Yes. I told her I couldn't be with here. To tell you the truth, I need someone more dark. I ... I guess someone more like you." I hope I'm sounding to oblivious. I'm still not sure on how I feel about her.
"R ... Really?" "Yeah, I guess. Do ... do you wanna go to the movies again tomorrow?" Oh boy. I just asked her out. I'm in for it from Cyborg if he ever finds out I went on a date with Raven. Although she probably thinks this is a con to get her back to the Titans. "I have plans. But if you want, I'll give you a rain check." I give her a dissappointed look. "Okay. I'll call you about it tomorrow."
The police cheiffinally comes and asks us about what happened. We give him a full discription of the incident, and then he dissmisses us. Finally I go home.
"Bye, Robin, talk to you later." Raven says as we part. All I give her is a simple 'bye', which probably won't put me in a good postion with her. I walk off into the distance and get on my bike. Off I go back to my incomplete life at Titans Tower.
"Where were you? We were really worried!" yells Cyborg. "Well, I figured you would have known that I wasn't abducted by the fact that my bike wasn't in the garage." I just blankly stae into space. Raven really knows how to get a guy thinking about her.
After a little chat about where I was with the other four Titans, I decide I've had a fairly trying day, and retire into my bed, dreams of Raven filling my head.
Footnotes:
A big thanks to my hundredth reviewer, JPElles
First footnote: He's wearing boxers. Nice mental picture, huh, other fangirls?
Second footnote: Boys are weird, and call motorcycles bikes. No offense to any of you boys out there, but hey, I'm entitled to think boys are weird, right?
Third footnote: I like to say Irony's a bitch, because we all know it's true.
Oh, and I suck at fight scenes.
