The next day….
Phoenix awoke the next morning and the tears started to flow almost instantly. She tried to stand and found that Raven had fallen asleep at her bed side. This made her think of the cruelty of her mother and how she never cared for her. All she ever wanted was to hear those 3 simple words " I love you". Phoenix had never heard those words before and if she could have one wish love from another person would be it.
Raven must have sensed that she was awake because with a quick and subtle jerk she was awake.
" Are you alright?" Raven asked.
"………….."
"………….."
"………….."
" We have to think of some form of communication here." Said Raven.
"…………."
" If the answer is yes I want you to hold up you hand and if the answer is no you don't have to do anything." said Raven.
Raven went to place her hands on Phoenix's shoulder but Phoenix thinking that she was in trouble gripped her head and screamed.
" What did your parents do to you?" Raven asked sadly.
Raven softly touched the girls head softly but was interrupted by the Titans running in trying to find the source of the scream. Phoenix got frightened instantly and put her invisibility shield up.
" Thanks a lot guys." Raven said
" What did we do." Beast Boy asked.
" Never mind." Raven said.
" Where is Phoenix? The mayor is here and he wants to see if her powers are in control enough for her to leave." said Robin.
Raven hadn't realized she was so connected with Phoenix and was surprised when the motherly instinct to protect her child came over.
" Her powers were fine to begin with." said Raven sourly.
" Raven chill." said Beast Boy.
" If I wanted a chill I would eat a ice cube." said Raven
Raven gave the room a killer glare and by the time Raven could think the word "go" they were gone.
"You can come out now Phoenix." Raven said.
" Hide in my room I will be back later." said Raven.
" Maybe she really does care". Phoenix whispered as Raven left the room.

Meanwhile……
The mayor was a very fat old man but it wasn't his looks that turned everyone off it was his mean pompous attitude. Robin knew that the mayor would not take the news of them losing a kid lightly.
" We have seemed to misplaced Phoenix." said Robin.
" How could you misplace a child." said the mayor ( I don't have the mayors name so I just call him the mayor.)
He signaled a man from behind him to wipe his sweaty brow with a very questionable looking yellow cloth.
" Fine, you have tested my patience enough for today Robin. Since she is not here she will automatically fail so she will have to remain for 3 more weeks." said the mayor.
Raven had heard the news from the hallway and she felt like jumping for joy but since she was Raven she did not.
" Phoenix." she said while entering her room.
Phoenix appeared about 2 minutes later wearing a very unreadable expression on her face.

At Nick's funeral a few days later….
The Titans were sitting in the front row of the beach set interior awaiting the final words that were spoken for Nick. Beast Boy noticed that Raven kept trembling and you could here the shocks of broken glass in the background. Beast Boy took Raven in his arms and to his surprise she did not pull away like she usually did.
" Everything is going to be okay." he whispered.
Raven reacted by cuddling her way even deeper into Beast Boy's chest in a attempt to hide her tears. Beast Boy continued to stroke Raven's hair ever so softly in a attempt to make her feel better.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At the funeral party later……
Phoenix couldn't help but feel like this was all her fault and if she had stopped Roger Mclenner ( The murder who is still alive and in jail.) sooner Nick would still be alive.
How did Raven talk me into coming here, she thought unhappily.'
" I know what you are thinking and it isn't your fault." Raven whispered as she put a hand on Phoenix's shoulder.
" Are you hungry?" Raven asked softly.
" …………"
"…………."
"…………"
Phoenix hesitated slightly before raising her hand in speech…..
" Come with me then." Raven said emotionlessly.
