Crimson Tears 3

Raven awoke the next morning to Beastboy's crowing. As usual, he was up on the roof in the form of a rooster, doing his best to wake everyone up. Raven thought to herself how fitting it was that Beastboy was in rooster form. Both were arrogant, cocky, and a big chicken. She smiled at her little joke.

It was only a second later that she realized that the mess with the pillows and light fixtures had been cleaned up, and replaced. She got out of bed and began to head towards her closet.

When she looked in her mirror, she was a little more than shocked. She wasn't wearing her blue robe. Instead, she had on one of her other pairs of sleepwear. Her face became bright red as it dawned on her. Robin had stayed with her last night while she slept. She became very confused and a little worried. What had happened?

It took her a while to get changed and get ready for breakfast. She was a little hesitant to enter the living room, in fear of seeing Robin and getting embarassed. She took a deep breath and walked in.

Cyborg and Beastboy were fighting over what they should have for breakfast. Beastboy, being the vegan, wanted to make tofu eggs and T.S.P(tenderised soy protein) sausage. And of course Cyborg wanted his ham and bacon. Starfire just sat at the table, patiently waiting for whatever they fixed. She looked up from the boy's fighting when Raven walked by to get her tea.

" Friend Raven! Good morning! You seem much better. Will you join us?"

Raven looked over at the cheerful red head. Her eyes just begged for her company. Silently she nodded and came over to sit next to Starfire.

After finally deciding on what was for breakfast (oatmeal), the boys sat down opposite of the girls and started to eat noisily. Raven looked at them in discust. Starfire just giggled and continued talking to Raven, who was obviously trying to ignore her.

Suddenly, her attention was directed to the door and the figure standing next to it. Raven quickly hid her face in fear of letting Robin see her blush. He smiled and walked over to the table were she and the others sat.

"It's good to see you're feeling better. You had a pretty rough night."

He put his hand on her shoulder and looked her in the eyes. Raven blushed a little and turned away. He then gestured over at Starfire.

"It's a good thing Starfire was there too. You were completely drenched in cold sweat."

The alien girl looked over at Raven and added to Robin's comment.

"I hope you are not angry at me for going through your clothing drawers. I could not find the sleepwear."

Raven was releived that it was Starfire who changed her out of her preivious clothing. She picked up her tea and rose from her seat.

"No, Starfire. I am not angry at you. Thank you, both of you, for taking care of me last night. I am sorry for trouble I caused."

Raven turned and left the room before either Robin or Starfire could respond. As she walked down the hall, she kept thinking about Robin. It had been really sweet of him to stay with her for so long. But then she remembered what had caused the whole problem in the first place.

She became short of breath and dizzy. Raven had to lean up against a wall to keep herself from falling. She slumped to the floor and held her head, not wanting to think about the questions that haunted her mind.

"What does Slade want with me? How does he know my 'destiny'? And how the HELL did he survive the lava!"

She bolted out of her sitting position. She had figured it out. Although she was horofied at the answer. Just thinking about it made her cringe. She flew as fast as she could to the living room. She had to find Robin and the others and tell them.

In the living room, Robin sat on the couch. He was thinking of Raven and the other night. He had been so worried for her. She had looked do helpless and scared. He had never seen her cry like that.

"I wish there was something I could do to help her. Anything to keep her mind off of the enscriptions. Maybe...no. She would never go on a date with me. What am I thinking. Raven's not interested in me."

He turned on his music and just zoned out. Suddenly Raven burst into the room. She hadn't even bothered to use the door. She was in such a hurry that she had just passed through the wall. All the Titans looked up in surprise. Robin jumped up and turned off his radio.

"What is it Raven?"

I was kind of rushed to finish this chapter. I have finals to worry about and I needed to finish this up A.S.A.P!

OK! QUIZ TIME!

Who thinks they know who is behind this evil plot? R&R and tell me who you think it is (even if it is painfully obvious)

HINT: Watch the episode "Birthmark".

Just as a warning. I might make one of my next chapters have a song-fic part. I've been listening to Evanescence while writing this story, so I though it would be apropriate to add it in there somewhere.

PLEASE don't hate me TT I do my best--;
