Well, here we go with another chapter.
little-raven2992- Thank you! Of course you can have a cookie! Don't give me too much bacon though, or I'll go on a bacon-high.
animegoddess12345- You can eat the cookie because it is any kind of cookie you want it to be. I'd like to meet your bunny. What is his name?
Angel Caida- I love your name! Its very clever and well thought out. I'm guessing by the salsa comment you're Spanish. I'm not very good at Spanish, but I know a little. Me encanta tocino! Yo no loco. WHEEE!

Dove: EveningMoon does not own anyone but Crow and me.
EveningMoon: Not quick enough. Moonlight, sic 'em!
"Alright, start talking." Robin said. All of them were seated on the coach. The worst of the mess had already been cleaned up.
Raven sighed. "What do you want to know?" Her face remained impassive, but inside she was squirming. How much did she have to reveal?
Robin narrowed his eyes. Was she playing games with him? She knew what he wanted. "Everything," He said sternly. "and don't leave anything out."
"Well…" What was she supposed to tell him? That her father was an evil demon and the only way to take over the world was through her? This was going to be really difficult. "…um…you know that Crow and Dove are my siblings…"
"Crow said that you're ½ demon. Is this true?" Robin asked. He wanted a confirmation. Assuming things were too hasty. He hoped she said no…
…and his hopes were shattered when Raven confirmed it. "Yes, it is true." Dang. Now things were much more complicated.
"Why didn't you tell us before?" Cyborg asked. He was a little hurt and scared. Hurt, because she didn't trust them with her secret. Scared because…well…she was half-demon.
"You didn't need to know and you never asked." Raven replied calmly.
"You still should have told us." Robin said in an icy tone. He and Raven locked eyes. Neither was ready to give in.
"Friends," Starfire began, suddenly appearing between them. "Why are you fighting?"
"Because Raven kept a secret and it was important!" Robin snapped.
"Agreed. Secrets are not good. But the important thing is that we know now." Starfire stated wisely.
"Since when did Starfire become like the wise monk dudes?" Beast Boy whispered to Cyborg.
"I dunno, but the argument has been going on for a while." Cyborg whispered back. By now, Raven and Robin were literally at each other's throats. Starfire tried, in vain, to play peacemaker. Cyborg glanced at the clock, only to find it was midnight.
"Well, why can't they stay here!" Raven shouted, infuriated.
"Because!" Robin yelled back. "You saw what they did to the main room! Who says they aren't working for Slade!"
"Well, so! I bet it's the demon blood! Is it the fact you don't trust them! They're my siblings! I trust their judgment!" A cup blew up.
"Well then, the people you trust are your downfall!" There was a moment of silence.
"Why you little-" Raven growled. Before she could finish, however, a small voice interrupted her.
"Raven," Dove said. She was in a white nightgown and was clutching a teddy bear. She rubbed her eyes tiredly. "I had a nightmare. You left me all alone and I was so scared…"
Raven's fierce scowl melted into a gentle smile. "Don't worry Dove, I won't leave you alone. I promise, I'll be right here when you wake up, ok?" She sat on the couch and held her arms open invitingly. Dove willingly sat down next to her and hugged her. Raven held her close as she cooed softly and comfortingly. The rest of the team was silent. They had never seen this side of Raven before.
"You promise?" Dove sniffled. She looked so sad and scared.
"I promise." Raven said firmly. "Now get to bed!" She teased. Dove giggled and went to obey. When Dove left, she turned around.
"Raven…" Robin began. Raven gave him a tired stare. Robin sighed and gave in. "Fine…they can stay."
"Dudes…Raven, your sister mentioned being part angel. How does that happen?" Beast Boy asked hesitantly. He sat on the couch and everyone followed suit.
Raven blinked at him before answering. "Her mother was ¾ angel." She didn't say any more, thinking that was enough.
"And Crow?" Cyborg asked, leaning forward.
"His mother was ½ demon." Raven became quiet
"You're always so open with our pasts, but what about yours?" An unexpected voice said.
"Whats it to ya, Crow?" Raven shot back. Crow stepped out of the hallway.
"I just thought that since you so willingly shared information about us, I would share information about you." He countered. Beast Boy and Cyborg went quiet, waiting to hear.
"You wouldn't." Raven gasped, her eyes wide.
Crow sighed. "You're right. I wouldn't." Raven looked relieved. " I especially wouldn't reveal that talk in your sleep and you used to wet the bed."
Raven turned brick red. "I…err…" she stammered. "Crow, I'm going to kill you!" She screamed. She fired a spark of power right at his chest. He flew into the hall. "NOW GO TO YOUR ROOM!"
Beast Boy started laughing and clutching his sides. Suddenly he squeaked and shut his eyes.
When he next opened them he found three things. 1.) He was stuck to the ceiling by his feet. 2.) He couldn't talk. 3.) He would have to somehow apologize to Raven without talking or getting down from the ceiling.
Beast Boy began waving his arms frantically and everyone laughed. "Oh, now that is funnier than Raven's secrets!" Cyborg laughed. A flash of black light later, he found himself in the same predicament as Beast Boy. "Mmmmmpppffff!"
"We should go to bed now." Raven said in her usual dry monotone voice. The only way you could tell she was amused was by a faint twinkle in her eye.
Beast Boy and Cyborg's eyes widened and they began struggling even harder.
"What?" Raven asked cupping her ear. "You want to be let down? All right." The black stuff that had glued Cyborg and Beast Boy's feet disappeared, causing them both to fall to the ground head first. Raven, Robin, and Starfire left while they were groaning.
"You are sadistic, you know that Raven?" Robin asked.
"Yes, I do know. Yes, I am proud of it." Raven said with a straight face. Robin shook his head like a mother chiding her child.
"Tell me Robin," Starfire said, leaning around Raven to look at him. "What is sah-di-stick?"
"Err…" Robin said. Raven flashed him a smile before melting into the floor.
'Good luck Robin.' Raven's voice echoed in his head. Robin began wishing Raven a long, slow, and painful death when Starfire began looking at him intensely.
"Well?" Starfire demanded. "What does it mean?"
Robin groaned.
So? Like? Hate? Tell me! Just push the little button and review! (God, I sound like an advertising sales person.)
The whole thing about Robin explaining sadistic: Sadistic is when someone takes pleasure in other people's pain. Starfire is innocent and would not understand what Robin meant by Raven taking pleasure in other people's pain.
Moonlight is my cat, so leave him alone!
Luv ya'll!
