I'm happy you guys have been bearing with me through my writer's block, so, I thought I'd update now. Many of you REALLY were not happy with the cliffhanger, which all I can do for that is smile. I always leave cliffhangers, it part of my writing style. Although, I decided to give you a break, which means that there most likely will not be a cliffhanger at the end of this chapter. Happy? See, I blew it all for you. I hate it.

"So, how long has she been like this?" he asked.
Cyborg shrugged. "She was trapped in a burning building for a while, what do you expect?"
The teen nodded. "How long has she been in a coma?"
"I think it's up to two weeks now. I lost track," Cyborg said scratching his head.
"It's two and a half weeks," Elektrana interrupted.
"So, do we know what's going on with her?"
Elektrana cocked her head to the side. "I've been sensing that she has had many, many horrific nightmares, like she's trapped in a dream, with no way out," the witch nodded.
Elektrana had been searching for some way to see what she was seeing in her dreams. And she had. It wasn't pretty.
"What are these about?" the young man asked.
Elektrana took a deep breath. "She woke up, but you were still unconscious. And she kept blaming herself. She then sees what you're thinking while you're in a coma, and want to get you out of it. But I told her she couldn't, while she actually could. And then, she watched you die," she said softly to Robin.
Yes, Robin was all right. But Raven was not. Raven hadn't woken up yet. (A/N- the whole last chapter after Raven woke up was a dream of Raven's while she was in a coma. Robin's not dead.)
Robin had woken up only about a week after what happened. He had managed to only breathe in some of the smoke, and since Elektrana had managed to take it out, he suffered minor injuries.
Robin nodded to her answer. "Okay, that's all I wanted to know. Cyborg, would you mind stepping out for a minute? I need to talk to Elektrana," Robin said to the half-robot.
Cyborg nodded and walked out. Elektrana gave Robin a strange look. "What's going on?"
Robin smiled weakly. "Look, Elektrana, I know this really isn't the time for it, and the last time I did this, I regret. But I have this feeling that I'll be doing the right thing when I do this," Robin said.
Elektrana was lost. "Huh?" she asked.
"Elektrana, you have helped us so much since you met Raven. You've helped her, you've helped me, hell, you've even helped Cyborg. And I have to say that I feel that this is in order," Robin said softly.
Elektrana stared at him as he pulled out a small radio. "You've got to be kidding me," she said as she saw it.
Robin shook his head. "Would you be interested in joining the Teen Titans?" he asked.
Elektrana smiled. She nodded. "Then, Elektrana, this belongs to you," he said as he placed the small radio in her hand.
"Thank you Robin," she said.
"Hey Cyborg, you can come in now. You don't have to press your ear to the door anymore," Robin called with a smile.
The door swung open to reveal a blushing Cyborg. "So what was that about?" Cyborg asked.
"I guess your ear against the door didn't work," Robin said.
Elektrana laughed. She showed him the small radio. "Meet the new Titan," she said.
Cyborg yelled as she threw her arms around him. Robin smiled, feeling sad as they left. He looked at the girl still lying in the bed.
The sheets outlined her thing frame. He sighed and sat down. As his elbows met his knees and his chin met his palms, he frowned.
So many thoughts rushed into his head. If only he had been faster. If only he had stopped Malchior. If only he hadn't gotten upset at her. If only he hadn't fallen in love her. If only…
He sat there for a few minute, just watching her. She was beautiful. Not like Starfire, who had this commercial, model beauty. Raven had this mysterious, almost goddess-like beauty. Starfire was tall, thin, and a slight hourglass shape.
Raven, on the other hand, wasn't taller than he was, for one thing. And if you compared her Star, she was much thinner. Take a look at her arms once in while and you'll see. And if you were lucky enough to see her without the cloak on, you saw the curves.
Robin shook his head trying to stop himself. But it was so hard. He was head over heels in love…but he wasn't sure if she was. It always nagged him. He was always wondering if Raven was in love with him. Sure, they had kissed. But he and Starfire had done that so many times, and his love with her faded away- wait.
What if that happened to Raven and his love? Would it just fade away if they admitted they were in love with each other? Was even right for love, or was he just not capable of it?
He had to get out of here. He had to punch something; get rid of all he anger and stress within. He stood up slowly and walked towards Raven.
He smiled at her. He leaned over and kissed her forehead. Before he stood up, he whispered "I love you Raven, and I always will. Don't forget that."
As he started out, he thought he heard something, but he shook his head and opened the door. But he was wrong. "Richard."
O – O – O – O – O – O – O
Hahahaha! I thought that that would be a very sappy ending. Next chapter is my last one. Very sad. Oh, and I figure some of you will ask this, but robin and Elektrana weren't flirting. They are…well very close friends. (Although I thought they might look cute together, after Raven of course.) Oh, and do you like her becoming part of the team. Let me know!
