Well since I actually got a review (much to my surprise) I decided that maybe I should update. Oh, and before I forget, in this fic the titans have brought Terra back to life. I meant to mention that in the last chapter but it just slipped my mind. Sorry! On to the story!

Disclaimer: Unfortunately, I do not own the Teen Titans, nor will I ever own them. I do, however, own the character that I made up for this story. She is mine.

Chapter Two

Instant Messages

Sitting at a table in one of the corners of the café, Raven mentally scolded herself for allowing Robin to see her smile, not only once, but twice that night. What had come over her to make her show emotion like that? The first smile had been because he had fallen, and she could honestly see why she had smiled. It had been funny, or at least a little amusing. But the second time? The second time he had only offered to make her dinner. There was nothing even remotely funny about that.

Raven drank her tea, still trying to find a plausible explanation for her behavior. When the cup was empty, she sighed and dismissed her smile from her mind, determined not to think about it. She got up, paid her bill, and flew off back to the tower.

When Raven arrived back at the tower she found it in utter chaos. Aqualad and speedy had shown up, and Aqualad was playing video games with Cyborg while Speedy and Robin sat in a corner with their music pounding. Terra and Starfire had taken it upon themselves to "accessorize" Beast Boy, who now looked like a deranged pink poodle. As Raven continued her visual sweep of the room, she saw that her own friend, Robyn, (yes, Robyn not Robin. She's a girl) was on the couch waiting for her. When they had competed in the "Tournament of Heroines," the two had become fast friends, which was unusual for both girls since neither of them really talked all that much to other people.

Raven had started towards the couch when Beast Boy saw her, and he tore himself away from his captors and approached her.

"It's your turn to do the dishes," he informed her.

"But it was your turn to do dinner," she replied.

"Besides, this might be a good way to ditch your… um… fashion advisors," Robyn added. Suddenly Beast Boy's eyes lit up and he rushed quickly from the room. The two girls started towards the door, but when they reached it they found themselves suddenly obstructed by another Titan. Or rather, two Titans. Speedy and Robin had finally abandoned their music and were standing in the doorway, looking at Raven's guest.

"Hey," Speedy said, nodding to Robyn.

"Hey, yourself," she answered. Raven noticed that she was looking at the redheaded archer with a surprising amount of interest but decided not to comment on it at the moment.

"Rae, you gonna introduce us to your new friend?" Robin asked without taking his gaze off the girl.

"Robin, Speedy, this is my friend Robyn. And don't call me 'Rae'. My name is Raven," she snapped.

"Whatever," Robin replied, still staring at her friend.

Raven sighed. She could see why the two teens were so entranced with her. Robyn was easily the picture of most people's definition of beauty. She was average height, with chestnut brown hair spiraling down in layers, with the longest layer down to the middle of her back. She was fair skinned, but not as pale as Raven was. She was graceful, slender, and her golden-brown eyes often sparkled with life. She was everyone's idea of outward beauty. Guys were constantly following her down the street until she finally told them to go drool over someone else. Her only downside was that oftentimes she was quite nearly too picky about the people to whom she spoke. She rarely talked other than to people that she already knew.

So when Robyn rolled her eyes and pushed past the Titans without another word, Raven was less than surprised. She walked through the door after her companion, who was waiting on the other side. Silently, they walked down the hall to Raven's room. After the door slid shut behind them, Robyn turned to the gothic Titan, grinning ear to ear.

"Raven, why didn't you tell me Speedy was so hot?" she asked her friend.

"I never noticed," Raven replied, raising an eyebrow at her guest.

"Well, he is," Robyn continued, undaunted by her friend's skepticism and obvious lack of interest, "His hair is the perfect color. And I the way he does it. And his mask makes him look sooooo mysterious. Do you think he would take it off if I asked him to? Probably not, huh? I really want to know what color his eyes are. Do you know?"

"No," Raven said in reply to the question, "You didn't happen to notice that, other than the hair, Robin looks almost exactly the same as Speedy, did you?"

"He does? I didn't notice," she responded.

"Yeah, you can look later when we go back," Raven stated.

The pair conversed in the bedroom for another thirty minutes before heading back to the living room. After they sat on the couch, Speedy left the computers he and Robin had been occupying and sat on the couch next to the brunette To Raven's complete surprise, the two began flirting with each other immediately. She rolled her eyes in annoyance and walked over to a computer on the wall opposite Robin. The couple on the couch didn't so much look up when she vacated her seat. After a slight internal debate, she decided to instant message her masked leader simply to rid herself of the state of boredom that she was currently residing in. (AN- Raven's screen name is darkgoddess97 and Robin's is Ruler-of-the-Night528. Oh, and the next few lines are instant messages, hence the title)

darkgoddess97: hey wonder boy. can u believe speedy and robyn over there?

With that, he signed off and began to say good bye to Aqualad, Speedy and Robyn, purposely not giving Raven a chance to respond to his last comment. Raven followed suit, and when each guest was gone the Titans decided to turn in for the night and each headed of to their own rooms for the night.

Hello Hello Hello! I have updated but only because I actually got a review, much to my astonishment. I hope everyone liked the screen names I came up with. It took me forever and I still don't know if I'm happy with them. If anybody reading this would actually like to help me, then I have a challenge for you. As you may or may not have noticed, I didn't mention Robyn's powers/abilities. This is because I have yet to think of any powers/abilities for Robyn. If you can think of anything, please review. I need all the help I can get. Once again, I have the next couple of chapters done, but beyond that I have no idea where this story is going. As of right now it is an open-ended plot. Just click that little purple/blue button and tell me if you have any ideas. Thanx a million and hope everybody is having a great summer break. I know I am: D

luv ya lots, Raven-Angel-of-Darkness
