Okay! I'm back, for all of those people who missed me. (Who doesn't miss the awesome author?) I've been getting a lot more reviews than I had expected. I knew that I could always count on you guys for support. There will be more Raven Robin fluff…in fact, there'll be some in this chapter. He he he! So, read on.

Raven waved her arms out. She quickly cleared her mind of any unwanted things. Control Freak whipped out his magic remote control. Raven shook her head in disgust, and also in pity.
She then heard Wyatt yell into the microphone, "Combatants ready? GO!"
Control Freak swiftly aimed his remote at a pile of rocks. (Yes, I know. It's totally corny)
The rocks quickly had evil faces at them. They then began to fling themselves at Raven.
She rapidly brought up a barrier. The rocks bounced off. Raven then stuck her hand out of the shield. She lifted up stray cinderblocks Starfire had knocked out of the wall during her fight with Gizmo.
She belted it at control Freak. It hit him in the foot. He dropped to his knees. Growling at her, he then pointed his remote at another pile of rocks.
Raven was soon bombarded with rocks. It was taking a lot of energy to keep the shield up, but still having to pelting things at Control Freak was too much for her. She was still feeling weak from healing Robin. It had taken a lot more out of her than she had expected.
She had to drop the blockade. The rocks began to hit her, but she found another way to control them. She soon encircled them in a barrier. They rolled around.
Control Freak stopped short, then swore to himself. Robin, up in the stands, felt like cheering.
Raven crossed her arms, and gave Control freak a small smart smile. He then shrugged. This would be all he needed.
He took the remote, laughing hysterically as he pointed it as a part of bleachers. They were surrounded in red. Raven, who saw them coming, grabbed more cinderblocks and began to pile Control Freak in them.
Control Freak, somewhat distracted by taking the bleachers, was surprised to see the cinderblocks pinning him to the ground.
He scowled, but stopped as he saw the bleachers begin to wrap themselves around the young empath.
Raven gasped as the bleachers wrapped around her legs. Knowing if this kept up the way it was, she realized she would end up becoming tangled in her cape. She unclasped it quickly, and threw it off to the side.
Sure enough, more bleachers wrapped around her waist. She was overcome by the weight of the metal, and dropped to the ground, trying to get up.
Robin gasped as he saw her fall and struggle. He hated to admit it, but something inside of him was beginning to click. He was feeling…new feelings for raven. Strange ones; ones he hadn't felt since he met Starfire.
Raven thrashed about. Luckily her arms were still free. She grabbed all the Rocks she could, and threw them at him. He was now up to his neck in rocks.
The bleachers soon wrapped tighter. She couldn't breathe. She took a deep breath in, but it never came out.
She knew she was going to pass out soon, so with all the strength she could muster, she picked up the largest cinderblock she saw, and repeatedly whacked Control Freak over the head with it. She felt like shouting when she saw him collapse in to the rocks, but she was beginning to feel dizzy. Two people rushed over, and began to try and cut the bleachers off. She wanted to tell them to hurry up, but black spots began to dance in front of her eyes. She looked up and saw Robin hovering above her. He gave her a worried look before everything became dark.

When raven reopened her eyes, she found herself lying on her bed. She looked over and saw Elektrana reading a book. The sorceress quickly looked over, and her face became alert when she saw Raven awake.
"Raven," she said softly. She placed her book on her bed, and walked over. "Are you okay?"
Raven nodded. "What happened?" she said, not exactly remembering what had happened.
"Well, you were fighting with Control Freak. He wrapped a bunch of bleachers around you, causing you to collapse. You then hit him on the head with a cinderblock, which caused him pass out, making you the winner. But, you passed out soon after from lack of oxygen. You've been out for the past maybe 9 hours," Elektrana said motioning to the clock, which said 8:09.
She then added, "I have to go tell Robin you're awake. He was really worried," she said before she walked out.
Raven laid back against the pillows. Soon Robin came in. Elektrana stood at the door, and then said, "I'll give you guys some time alone."
Robin pulled up a chair, as Raven sat up.
"Are you feeling better?" Robin said softly.
Raven nodded. She felt the tension growing in the air.
Robin looked at her. "Are you up for a walk?"
Raven lowered her gaze. "Robin, I passed out. I didn't lose my legs."
Robin laughed. Raven stood up. She looked down, and felt like screaming when she saw her torn leotard.
She grabbed an extra cloak from her closet. She pulled it on, and they both walked out.
They walked along the beach that was located near the hotel.
"So, was there anything that you needed to talk about?" Raven said, the wind gently blowing her hair and cloak.
"Actually, yes," Robin said, as he bit his lip. He didn't know how to say it. "Raven, right now, I feel like an idiot doing this, because I've never done it before," he said as he stopped and looked into the large violet eyes.
"I've been feeling, well, feelings for you lately," Robin said as fast as he could without making any eye contact with Raven.
Ravens eyes opened widely. "Robin, I-I don't know what to say."
Robin laughed nervously. "Just say something so I don't feel like a complete whack job."
Raven looked at her feet. "Robin, I never thought I would be able to say this, but I have as well, even though it can never happen."
Robin looked at her strangely. "Why not? I like you, and I think you like me back," he said.
"You know that it'll never work out. I can't show love, and you're still in love with Starfire. I can feel it. Besides, you're willing to break Star's heart over this?"
Robin nodded. "Raven, I love you. Isn't that enough?" he said, beginning to wonder if he made the best choice by telling her this.
"I love you too. But…if you truly do, there's something you need to know," Raven said.
"It happened a long time ago," she said softly, not wanting to bring up the past, knowing what would happen if she did.
"What is it?" he said, knowing it must have upset her a lot.
"…about 6 months ago, Malchior came," she said, not making eye contact.
Robin felt his body tense. He couldn't believe it. That jerk showed his face- "Wait, I thought that Malchior was the dragon in disguise before when you got involved with that black magic," Robin said confused.
Raven shook her head. "He wanted me to believe that. I did for a while. That is, until I read the rest of the book. Rorek died, while Malchior lived. If it had been Rorek, he would've been dead. So, Malchior put a spell on himself to make himself look and sound like the dragon. I trapped him in the book, but he got out. He then came back to my room…" she said before her voice died.
Robin grabbed her by the shoulders. "What happened?" He then saw the two tears stream down her face.
"He came in. I got up, and was about to say something, but he shoved his hand over my mouth. He then placed a spell on me, so I had no control over my own body. So I lay there, feeling helpless, while he…he raped me. He later said he was doing it because he truly loved me, but he knew that he couldn't show it that other time, because there were to many other people. He said it was my fault that we couldn't be together then. He told me that I was a freak. He said no one would ever love me except him, which is why I should join him again," she said before she stopped.
Robin felt his mouth drop open. He opened his mouth to say something, but he stopped as Raven placed her head into her hands and ran back.
Robin stood there, frozen still. He had caused her all this pain; all by saying he loved her.

The next morning, Robin and the other 3 finalists were called to main area to find out who was facing each other that day. Wyatt walked up smiling. "Well well well. We are all ready down to the final four people. I guess you guys are the best of the best; the best anyone has to offer. Now, for today's battles. First, we'll start with Elektrana vs. Robin, followed by Starfire vs. Raven." (the battle everyone has been waiting for. Oh, I wonder who'll win. Tough call. J/K)
They were placed in a small room with a mat for fighting on the ground. Before there match started, Robin looked over at Raven. They met eyes, but she quickly turned away.
He then faced Elektrana. She smiled. "Hey bird boy," she said softly as she walked up to shake his hand. They shook.
He then backed up and whipped out his Bo staff. "Ready? Go!" Wyatt shouted before they lunged at each other.
"Okay, I need to finish her off quickly before she has a chance to start spells," he thought to himself.
He dropped his staff, and placed his hand onto his utility belt. Pulling out two disks, he looked at them. "Perfect," he thought to himself.
He threw both of them at her and caught her off guard. One disk electrocuted her, as the other froze her.
She fell to the ground limply. "I declare the first final finalist Robin!" Wyatt shouted.
Robin quickly walked off, and stood at the wall leaning against it. Raven and Starfire took there positions. Star, for some reason, looked like she wanted to kill something, while Raven looked out of it. Robin knew that this was going to be an interesting match.

I'm going to end it there for today, because 1.) My fingers hurt from typing for almost two hours straight, and 2.) The new TT episode is almost on, so I have to watch that. I hope you enjoyed it. Please R&R!
