Well… Reviews. Again. Cool.
Zoicytes-Shadow: There you go, your stuffed Raven. Now $400 please. Juust kidding. I thought my quote was off! Thanks… maybe I should change it… maybe I'm just too lazy to change it. Your Deviantart! It wouldn't let me get to it! Grrr I was so mad, I went to the site and it wouldn't come up. I shall try again. What's wrong with being obsessed? Thanks, I'm still not sure she is but I'll just have to go with what I have. I'm going to have to watch more TT to see what I need to fix. But soon I'll be able to make her more sarcastic, have some more 'chill' chapters, chill on the drama. Cool… I'm glad I make these the right length, just so many stories I read are long, and I'm afraid mine are just nothing in comparison. Yay! Sarcastic person! We are fun. Thank you for the compliments… on my story. Now I can see what I'm doing that people go, 'YAY UPDATE GOOD CHAPTER' to. Rae/Rob is the best! Garrr I can't stand Star/Rob, there are exceptions, like, one, and only because that's not the main couple… But you're right. RaeXRob are perfect for eachother.
Angel Vanilla: I was thinking that… Glad I make it seem OK though. I have a plot! Haha!
Samael Archon: They do now… ok so maybe the don't, but my demon does. Because I'm just special like that, right ol' buddy ol' pal? Oh yes… that STUPID STUPID STUPID TRAFFIC LIGHT! Garrr… Now the next few chapters shall be dramatic. Well… more so than they already are.
Sillymail: I uh… thanks! Plot! TAKE THAT TEACHERS, I HAVE A PLOT! Sorry.. I needed to get that out. Believable… cool! Though all of my facts aren't exactly true, oh well. I don't rush things? It feels like it sometimes, but I'm glad you don't think I do. You're putting this on your favorites? Cool! You rule!
Chica De Los Ojos Café: Oh… sniff… it's just… sniff… fine. :Goes into hysterical crying: Blame who and their constant updating? Authors? CURSE YOU OTHER AUTHORS AND YOUR CONSTANT UPDATING if it's that then. I shall update as soon as I can! ASAP I love that… ASAP ASAP. I'm done.
DITZY: Thank you! I'll update! I'll update!
Xlife: Thank you! Robin did that because he is a single minded traffic light, and I just wanted people to hate him… and he did that because I was in a bad mood. At least you reviewed, it could be worse, you could not review, but you do and that's what counts. And thank you again! I don't mind a long review at all. Not at all…
Well… I'm going to try to slow down, a little, but it's hard. So I'm working on it… I guess that's all I really have to say. Hmmph… not really a lot.
Here we go:
Raven awoke alone in the medical room, draped in white sheets, surrounded by white. She despised the white at the moment. Concentrating Raven could remember why she had been there.
Robin had yelled at her… he had screamed until he realized she hadn't been lying. Trying not to let the anger in her nerves overcome her, Raven took a deep breath.
Robin came into the room at that exact moment, probably the worst time he could have entered.
"Hey Rae- Raven."
Raven looked down, the last person she wanted to talk to was Robin.
"I wanted to say… so- s- sorry." Robin choked out.
"Oh really, did the rest of the team tell you to say that?" Raven snapped, a medicine cabinet shattered, shards of metal littering the ground.
"No! I came in on my own, I'm sorry Raven, there isn't much more I can say to you. I tried to control myself and I couldn't! And I'm really, sincerily sorry! What more do you want?"
"Get away from me." Raven mumbled, trying to stand up, but falling back over after pain pushed itself through her head.
"I only wanted to say sorry." Robin said, backing away a little bit. "I only want your forgivness."
"Is it the right thing to do, to forget everything you said to me? Robin, you and I both know that won't happen."
"I didn't know Raven!" Robin persisted, "I'm admiting a fault and you are being your usual unforgiving self! I just want to help you Raven, and if you hate me… we both know that won't help anyone."
"At the moment Robin I think it's something more than hate." Raven hissed. She tried to stand up again, and succeded. With one final glare at Robin she began to walk out of the room. Robin, being the ever-persistant being he was, followed Raven.
Just as Raven was about to open her door, Robin stopped her.
"I want forgivness, and I won't leave you until I get it."
"You do? Well maybe next time you should take your anger out on your punching bag! It sure forgives you!" Raven growled, sacrasm dripping from every word.
"Oh how would you know? It's not like you feel anything anways!" Robin wanted to throw himself out a window for saying that, but he was mad. Though, what kind of leader was he, bickering with his team mate?
"Do you want me to feel an emotion Robin?" Raven demanded. "Here is what happens when I feel!" Without thinking Raven let herself feel, her usually blank face was suddenly twisted with rage, her eyes four red slits glaring at Robin. Slowly, from behind her, a demon rose. Its body twisting in agony, burning eyes glaring at Robin, claws reaching out to kill, a ghostlike trail of a brown and green color trailing behind it, shreds offabric hanging off its body. Robin was paralyzed with fear, between an enraged Raven, and a demon behind her, he didn't know what to do for once.
"Rae- Ra- Raven? Wh-a-a-t is th-th-that?" Robin stuttered out.
Raven got herself under control, her face going blank, her eyes the usual amethyst, standing still and glaring at Robin. The demon behind her twisted in pain and burned away, though it's image would be forever etched into Robin's mind.
"I feel Robin. I feel every insult you throw at me, every snide remark, every snicker, every comment. I feel it all. It's just a matter of showing it. My mind has areas I can't unleash, areas that would make any human insane, things that could end the world. Maybe it is you who doesn't feel."
"I didn't mean… I'm sorry." Robin said.
"Oh? Say it to someone who will believe you, your precious Starfire perhaps." Raven said, slipping into her room and slamming the door. Much to Robin's misfortune, Starfire came down the hallway, hearing the last part of Raven's words, 'your precious Starfire,' Starfire was intrigued.
"Hey Star." Robin said dully.
"Hello friend Robin!" Starfire screeched, floating next to Robin. Robin sighed. He could imagine Raven's reaction to hearing Starfire's voice on the other side of the door.
Suddenly an ear-splitting scream shot through the air.
"NO I WON'T GIVE IN TO YOU!"
It was Raven screaming. Robin knew, instantly. He tried to open her door. It was locked. "Starfire," Robin turned to the alien, who looked scared for her life, "Go away." Robin said. He had been harsh lately, but he didn't care. Raven was in trouble and he was going to get through the door to her room.
"O-of course friend Robin." Starfire said, looking crestfallen as she floated down the hallway.
"RAVEN OPEN THE DOOR! WHOEVER IS IN THERE I WILL KILL!" Robin yelled. Kill? Where did that come from? Harsh and then protective… what is wrong with me? Robin thought to himself.
"LIKE THAT WILL WORK!" Raven yelled. "Get away Robin!"
"NO!"
"Go away Robin. Please. You aren't involved!"
"Who is in there!" Robin's voice was muffled to Raven on the inside of the door.
Raven inhaled deeply, trying to forget about her reflection. She needed to stay calm. She had broken down twice, and both times things had been bad for everyone. Raven sighed and turned to open the door. She had to facae Robin. She had to, as much as she hated to forget it, work with him and forget what he had said about her. He had let his rage get the better of him, and now he was concenred. He had told Starfire to leave him in hopes of helping Raven, maybe he wasn't so horrible… Raven shook the thoughts from her mind and opened the door.
"What?" She asked in her monotone. Everything was steady, serene almost…
"Are you okay?"
"As good as I'll ever be with you staring at me." Raven said.
"I just wanted to make sure. I didn't know if I could help, I din't think you would let me, I thought you hated me."
"I cannot hate you Robin. Not when I have to help you." Raven said stiffly, internally hating her words. No, she couldn't hate, she was an emotionless freak as Robin had told her.
"Help me? I don't need help with anything, we are team, if we need help…"
"You aren't making much sense boy blunder, but I'll let that go." Raven said.
"What? I always make sense Raven! I'll bet you I always make sense!"
"I don't bet. I don't even want to talk to you right now. I want you to go away." Raven backed into her room and shut the door, again, leaving Robin alone, again.
Trying to be friendly after nearly leaving me to bleed to my death, some leader. Raven glared at her wall. Why did he have to be so thick? Why would anyone think she, Raven Roth, wanted attention! Raven was the one who tried to avoid the cameras, while Starfire would throw her chest in front of everyone. No wonder everyone loves the alien… Raven thought, a small twinge of jealousy ringing through her. What am I thinking? It doesen't matter what I say, they love Starfire, I'm just here… No. NO, NO, NO! That is not true. We're a team, we're a family. I know this. I know this, I know this, I KNOW THIS! I need to relax… I need to study… I need to do a lot of things. Raven thought to herself, Or do I, Cyborg can help himself with the holy water, I'm sure he'll find a way to fire it at anything that gets near him, and Robin can figure out his own weapons, Starfire… we'll have to work on her… Beast Boy is the only one that will need help. Raven felt a little more relaxed, now at least she didn't have to worry about the whole team, and she knew she would be fine. At least she had time to meditate.
Raven sat above her bed in lotus posistion, chanting her words. "Azarath, Metrion, Zinthos." She felt relaxed…
Starfire stared at her pink wall. Why had Robin told her to go away? What had he not liked about her? She moved over to look at her reflection, she must be ugly. Yes, the cameras hadn't been on her lately, that must be it. She must be fat. No… She looked at herself, Starfire was skinny, and she knew that. She must need makeup… lots of makeup to hide her insecurities…
An hour later Starfire stepped out into the living room, to find Robin glaring angrily at a blank TV, ignoring the silence the alien approached the boy wonder.
"Hello friend Robin!" The alien girl exclaimed, hoping to please Robin with her looks. Her hot pink lipstick clashed against her orange skin, lime green eye shadow draped over her eyes, up close to her eyebrows, with electric blue mascara. On Starfire's cheeks the same hot pink as her lipstick was used for blush.
Robin almost jumped a foot in the air. He began to run through excuses in his head that would get him away from Starfire.
Beast Boy and Cyborg chose to walk into the room right at that moment, giving Robin a chance to escape from Starfire, who so desperatly wanted to know why Robin pushed her away.
Robin, however, didn't care. He was angry with himself, confused about what to do about Raven, and just wanted to be alone.
Robin decided it would be best for everyone if he took his anger out on his punching bag, like Raven had said. Raven… "ARRGH!" Robin screamed and hit the bag. No one would hear him, closed in the gym and hitting his bag… no one would care.
Out of the corner of his eye, Robin saw Starfire skip by the gym window, one that faced the hallway, saying something about feeding Silkie II.
Robin ignored the sounds from outside the gym, laughing, screaming, and running, and went back to beating his punching bag. He needed to do this more often… he couldn't hurt Raven again. He was a team leader, what kind of leader hurt his team mate? Another punch. Who was he now? Another punch. He had hurt Raven! Another punch. Robin let himself wallow in self pity, trying to forget everything else…
Raven sat medidtating, or she had been rather, before she heard Starfire scream something about feeding her Silkie.
"The bug… that bug will morph to- oh Azarath I have to get that bug!"
To be countinued…So what do you think about the bug part? Betcha didn't see that one coming!
I'm so sorry I took forever to update, I hope you forgive me. And I'm sorry if this seemed like a filler, but I really am trying to slow down a little, but something big is going to happen soon, I think, and then the finale is forever off, so we have awhile until the end. I don't even know what I'm going to do, I have a vague idea, but I haven't really gotten that far. I guess we'll see.
And, I was thinking about adding another chapter to You Know You're Right, if anyone has read that. Oh, and I need to add something in honor of someone.
To any Nirvana fans… Most of you know last Friday was the anniversary of Kurt Cobain's death, and I think we should all remember him, most fans will admit to him being a voice of a generation. His songs have influenced many, his death has killed many. If I'm making sense, you shoud all know, just take a moment, and remember.
That couldn't have been written worse than it was, but alas, I can't really write anything better, no words can touch Kurt Cobain, he was amazing. And the remaining members of Nirvana are too, Krist Noveselic, and Dave Grohl, though neither are in a band together anymore. Dave Grohl is in the Foo Fighters and Krist Noveselic just wrote a book. But most of you probably don't care… but if you do…
Ok, so, review, and I'll try to be faster next time.
