Hi people! This is not the last chapter, and yet it is my longest story yet! It beat out my complete CL story by about a 100 words last chapter. YAY! Oh well, here you go.
I need to ask all of my readers three questions.
Did you like this story or Sacrifice better? (I like this one, and it was more fun to write, but it's your choice)
What is your favorite TT character, coupling, and episode?
Did you trust Terra? Do you want her to be resurrected from her stony grave?
Disclaimer- Don't own TT. If I did, star would have been killed by terra, Rae and rob would've fallen in love, and I'd be living in Tahiti. Don't own simple plan or "I'd do anything" wish I did though. They rock! Their songs are so cool as well. Much better than Good Charlotte!
Robin laid his head on the side of Raven's bed. He then felt movements coming from the upper part of the bed. He ignored it because he had felt them for the past two weeks. Cyborg had told him to give up hope, because people who were unconscious for more than an hour usually had irreversible brain damage. But Robin wouldn't listen, because he said Raven would wake up, even though down in the pit of his stomach, he was beginning to doubt it. Later that time while he was sleeping, Robin felt a tap on his head, and as he looked up, he saw Raven looking at him, with a small smile on her face.
"Raven, are you okay? What did they do to you?" he asked grabbing her hands quickly.
She swallowed, and then said, "They cornered me in that alleyway, and drugged me. After shoved me into the trunk of that car, they chained me to a cage. They called me "birdie" and because I wouldn't sing for them, they sent 500 volts of electricity through my body every half hour."
"But you're alive, and that's all the matters." He smiled and said, "Cyborg said you would have something the matter cause of it the tremendous effect on your brain, but wait till he finds out that you don't," robin said happily.
Raven smile disappeared. "Robin…there's something I need to tell you. Something important,"
Another day is going by
I'm thinking about you all the time
But you're out there
And I'm here waiting
Robin looked confused. "What?" he asked.
She took a deep breath. "Robin…there's something you don't know about me, and my powers. When I'm unconscious, I don't just pass out, I go to Nevermore. Well, when I went there, my emotions were gone," she said staring at her long fingers.
"So? That's great, you don't have to worry about them anymore." He said, still confused as to why she was upset.
"You don't understand. I may not have emotions any more, but I also don't have any powers. Those shocks really hurt my mind, in fact, to the point where I almost didn't wake up," she said as a tear leaked out of her eye. He bit his lip, and wiped the stray tear away.
"Raven…" was all he could say, before she placed her head in her hands. Her shoulders began to heave.
And I wrote this letter in my head
'Cuz so many things were left unsaid
But now you're gone
And I can't think straight
"I could have died because of some creepy old men! What am I, some unprotected little girl?" she said through her tears. He placed his hand on her shoulder, and lifted her tear streaked face out of her hands.
"Raven, I will do anything to make sure you're happy, especially since this is mostly my fault. I never should have kissed star. But Raven, you do know that you are the one I love?" Robin said. She smiled awkwardly.
"Yes, I still love you, and yes, this was your fault," she said giggling softly.
He groaned, and gave her a gentle push. "Hey, I'm the one in the hospital med lab! You can't push me. But…I can push you," she said as she shoved him out of his chair. Bursts of laughter erupted that day in the med wing.
This could be the one last chance
To make you understand…
Robin slept in the same room with Raven that night, even though she told him to go back to his room. He was woken up by Cyborg speaking into his radio. "Robin, we need you downstairs. We need to get Terra out of here," he said.
Robin woke up. "If Raven wants to see this, you can bring her down," Cyborg said mockingly. Robin nodded.
"Raven? Raven, wake up," he said shaking her gently. Her big violet eyes opened widely. "Do you want to come see Terra get booted?" he said smiling. She grinned, and sat up.
She looked down at her outfit. "Yeah, but I need to go to my room and change." She said as she stood up. Robin helped up, but she didn't need it. "Robin, I may have been a damsel in distress when you found me in that cage, but, now I'm not," she said smirking evilly. She walked out. Robin stared, and then rolled his eyes.
I'd do anything
Just to hold you in my arms
To try and make you laugh
Somehow I can't put you in the past
I'd do anything
Just to fall asleep with you
Will you remember me?
'Cuz I know I won't forget you
When she came downstairs five minutes later, she was in a pair of dark jeans, and a black shirt that said, "My imaginary friend thinks you have mental problems." The four other titans watched as she limped to her seat, and took a seat next to Robin. Beast Boy was standing up.
"I am taking charge of this trial, because I was the one in charge when this happened due to our leader's mistake that affected the outcome of this wrongdoing. We are here to decide if Terra should remain after she managed to get Starfire jealous after having her read Raven's diary. This caused Robin to kiss Star, which caused Raven to run away, which caused Raven to get kidnapped. I myself think that someone who commits misconduct like this should not be counted on to protect our city. All who agree please raise your hands." He said as he crossed his arms. All of the other titans raised their hands with grim looks on their faces.
Together we broke all the rules
Dreaming of dropping out of school
And leave this place
To never come back
Terra's eyes gaped open. "You…" she said as she spun around and pointed finger at Raven. "This is all your fault!" she screamed. Raven stood up, and walked over to Terra. She stared her down because her good 3 inches on her.
"How? Because I knew that you were always as spy? Because I never trusted you? Because I didn't fall for your acts? Or because your plan didn't work?" she said smugly.
Terra raised her hands. Her eyes became yellow and her hair flew around her head. "If I can't be in this team, you can't either," she said as she pulled a large rock out of the ground, and slammed it at Raven. Raven was sent across the room.
So now maybe after all these years
If you miss me have no fear
I'll be here
I'll be waiting
Raven stood up. Terra sent many tiny, tiny rocks at her. Raven crouched down as the rocks pinged against the wall. Raising her arms above her head, she looked up, and saw the large point of a rock with an area of 50 feet. "Now, you die," Terra said with an evil grin on her face. Raven's purple eyes shut, but she opened them as she heard a high-pitched scream. Beast Boy was standing over a limp Terra, who had two ugly plum colored holes in her leg.
This could be the one last chance to make you understand
And I just can't let you leave me once again
Robin rushed over and wrapped his arms around Raven as he helped her up. "Are you okay?" he asked her quietly.
"Yeah…but they're going to want to know-" she said before she was interrupted.
"Friend Raven, why did you not stop her with your powers?" Star asked naively. Raven took a deep breath.
"When those shocks passed through my body, my powers, and my dreaded emotion problem were stripped of me. So, I am no longer, Raven, Trigon's demon daughter, I am Raven Roth, Arella's daughter." She finshed.
"But… Raven and I are going to travel to see Trigon to get her powers back," Robin said as he squeezed Raven's hand behind their backs.
Raven looked amazed, and then shook out of it. "Anyway, what did you do to her?" she said softly.
"I had to stop her, so I turned into a rattle snake, and…and I bit her." Beast boy said. "I killed the one girl I have only loved." He said as he collapsed to his knees. Cyborg grabbed his arms and picked him up and shoved him onto the couch.
I close my eyes
And all I see is you
I close my eyes
I try to sleep
I can't forget you
Na na na…
And I'd do anything for you
"Well, if you are planning to journey to Azerath, shouldn't you start?" Cyborg asked.
Robin nodded. "We'll be back soon." Robin said as he grabbed Raven's hand and pulled her upstairs to her room.
"Are you ready? Where's that mirror? Is your father that dangerous?" Robin said nervously.
"Robin, calm down," she said as she gently grabbed his hands. "I need to change into my leotard and cloak, and then we leave. Why are you so nervous? This was your idea," she said as she stepped into her closet and closed the door.
"I…just want you happy," he said inaudibly.
A few minutes later, she came out and said, "I really glad you are trying to make me happy." She went to her dresser and pulled out the notorious mirror. "Hold on," she said as a large red hand grabbed them and pulled them in. As they hit the ground, they heard deafening laughter coming from a little in front of them. Raven grabbed Robin's hand and said, "Come on,"
I'd do anything
Just to hold you in my arms
To try and make you laugh
Somehow I can't put you in the past
I'd do anything
Just to fall asleep with you
Will you remember me?
'Cuz I know I won't forget you
Once they had reached the booming laughter, they saw him. Trigon sat there with his head thrown back in amusement.
"So, you have come here why, daughter?" he said.
"You know why I'm here. I want you to give me my powers back, without the emotion problems," she said angrily.
"Oh and why should I do that? If you want me to do that, why don't I just make you pure demon? What about what I want? I want you to rule the entire universe!" he yelled.
"Well, if you don't give her those powers, she'll have to leave the titans," Robin said.
Raven looked upset. "So?" Trigon said.
"If I have to leave the titans, I will kill myself," she said softly.
"If she kills herself, then you have no chance of ever convincing her to become a full-blown demon. People would also think that you weren't as evil as you are because you're daughter was no longer a half-demon. It would be easier just to help her," Robin said crossing his arms and smiling.
Trigon placed his finger above his lip. "Okay," he grunted. He raised his arms, and blue lights shot out of them. They buried themselves in Raven chest. Raven began to glow as she began to scream. She collapsed to the ground in pain. Robin looked at Trigon confused, and he smiled. He went over to Raven.
"He's lying. He's killing me himself," she said in pain. His eyes narrowed as hers turned glassy. Robin jumped up and lunged at Trigon. Trigon backed up. Robin was trying to hit or kick him, but he was failing miserably. He looked back at Raven. She was lying limply on her side, eyes closed.
I'd do anything
To fall asleep with you
I'd do anything
There's nothing I won't do
I'd do anything
To fall asleep with you
I'd do anything
'Cuz I know
I won't forget you
Robin was still trying, but was thrown back by Trigon's eye lasers. He struggled as he stood up. He felt over his utility belt, and found something that would work easily.
"If you don't bring her back right now, this disk will blow you up like popcorn." (I wanted to give an example, but it sucks.)
Trigon snickered. "Why would you do that? You would kill me, but you'd kill yourself and Raven."
Robin looked at her. "I know Raven better than anyone, and Raven would rather die by being blown up than being killed by her father. I…don't care, as long as she's happy."
Trigon squinted his eyes. "You'd actually do that?" he said.
"Of course I would. The world would no longer fear you. They laugh at you because you were killed by 4 and half feet tall, puny, bird brain Robin. Think about it. You can bring Raven back to life, give her her powers, and get rid of the emotion problem, and still be feared. Or, you can die by being blown up by me. Which would you rather have?" Robin said mockingly.
Trigon sighed. He outstretched one of his arms, and a few minutes later as robin sat nxt to her, Raven sat up panting. "Oh my god, are you okay?" he said. She nodded, then stood up and stormed toward Trigon.
"You bitch of a father. You try and kill me sneakily because you are too cowardly to face me yourself, when I'm not powerless. You know why? Because…you're scared of me, your 14 year old daughter." She said, voice rising. She elevated her arms above her head. "AZERATH, METRION, ZINTHOS!" she screamed as black crackling energy spurted from her palms. Trigon was wrapped, and he was suffocating. "I'm going to kill you," she said meanly.
Robin walked up, and placed his hand on her shoulder. "Don't kill him…yet. Let him cower in fear until the day that you do decide that it's his time to go." She dropped her arms, and took a few steps back. Robin wrapped his arm around her, and they headed toward the exit.
Once they were thrown back into Raven's room, Robin hugged her. She held him closely. "Thank you, but how did you do it?" she said quietly.
"I lied. Told him that a freeze disk was an explosive one," he said smirking. She grinned.
"Smooth…wait, I-I showed emotion, and nothing blew up," she said amazed.
"Yeah, he reversed it," Robin said as he grabbed her hand and squeezed it. Raven smiled, and then enveloped them in her cloud of darkness.
Robin fell out of the sky. He sat up, and looked around. It was the place he was at before he found Raven. "It's where we first met," he said.
"Yeah, it's where you helped me with my first problem; being accepted." She said laying her head on his shoulder. He placed his arm on her shoulder.
"So, I've helped you with…let's see…four major problems, and you've helped me with one. I think that if you help me with my last one, we'll be even." He said.
She looked into his eyes mischievously. "Oh yeah…and what's that?" she said.
"Raven…I can't deal with leading the titans by myself if I don't want to start hurting myself again. Raven…I want you to be co-leader of the Titans." He said looking at his feet. Raven smiled disappeared.
"Why? Why, why not Cyborg, or…or Star? Why me?" she said.
"Because you're the only practical choice and because I know you'd be able to handle it better than they will. Believe it or not, but you and I are very much alike Raven," he said chuckling.
She looked at him, spaced out, then said, "Okay… but when are we going to tell the rest of them?" she said as she brought her legs closer to her. "We'll tell them tomorrow, but right now, I just want to spend time with my new co-leader and the girl I love," he said as he kissed the top of her head.
Raven smiled as drowsiness overcame her. She closed her eyes happily. Robin looked over and saw raven asleep. He smiled, and laid her back, as he laid back. At this point in his life as he closed his eyes, nothing could go wrong. But little did he know that both of them would suffer from life-changing nightmares
Raven was tossing in her sleep. She couldn't get the nightmares out of her head. "Enjoy your sleep, my daughter, for I shall get my revenge on you and that short spiky kid," Trigon said maniacally. He sent nightmares into her mind. She broke out in a cold sweat.
Raven's dream-
Raven watched as the anger seethed through her. They sat there all over each other. "Robin? Why?" was all she could say.
"Please, you actually believed me. They set me up to a dare to try and deceive you, and guess what, it worked miraculously." He said as he liftedhis hads to grab Starfire's shirt off.Star smiled evilly, and Raven ran out into the cold night, feeling alone and unwanted, like before when she was cutting herself.
And then, it just kept repeating, and repeating over and over.
Robin was having trouble sleeping. He couldn't stand it anymore. He wanted to wake out of this nightmarish reality. But he was slipping in, faster and faster, and there was no way out of it.
Robin's dream-
Raven lay in front of him unmoving. "Who did this?" he shouted, but all he heard was the echo of his own voice.
"I did, and there's nothing you can do to save her." A high-pitched voice rang out, making it impossible to figure out if it was a guy or girl.
"Reveal yourself," he shouted. He crouched down, and saw she was gone. His voice caught in his throat, and tears welled in his eyes. But then, the tears turned into rage, uncontrollable anger.
"I'm right here," they said. Robin looked behind him, but stopped dead in his tracks as he saw Starfire step out, clutching a crimson colored knife in her blood soaked hand.
"Robin, I had to do it, for you and I belong together, no matter what. Raven, will never darken a mood, or add grumpiness to perfect day." Robin tried to tell her that Raven no longer had to worry, but he found himself falling, falling into his own sadness and self-pity.
Okay, this is the longest chapter I have written. Its 3378 words long! Well, they'll probably be one or two chapter before start my next story, which I have already began writing. So…if that's all I need to say, then I'm going to go and probably work on my CL or HP story.
If I moved too quickly in this chapter, I'm sorry, but I wanted to make a long chapter, and I don't writer good battle scenes, and I'm not good at writing details or romantic things.
