"Robin! Did they shout Benji?" Raven broke into a run and slid in front of the rock. A clap of thunder. Rain.

"Raven!"

She stood, frozen in time for what seemed like ever. Tears leaked from her eyes. She dropped down on her knees and placed her hand on his chest.

"Benji?"

"R-Raven?" he opened his eyes slightly.

"Oh my God!" another scream, another bang, another huge shadow. A gun fell onto Raven's hand. She screamed and flicked it off, clutchign her forearm as blood seeped down it.

"Raven!" Robin walked up behind her and placed a hand on her shoulder. She cried out in pain. He quickly withdrew.

"Raven...please...it was..." Benji's breathing was sharp and short. "He...don't let...'em get...away...go...East to...E-mail...E-mail...tonight...at...one AM..."

"E-mail?" Robin whispered. The rain poured down on the three of them on the ground. There was no one within twenty feet of them. Terra and Beast boy's horrified faces shown plain in the crowd.

"He...he...knows...about...you...he...will...kill...you..."

"He? E-mail is a he?" Robin was now trying to bandage Raven's arm, but she pushed him off and leaned down over Benji's body.

"Benji, we're gonna get you to a hospital. You will be okay. Don't give up. I can't lose you..." she whispered to only him. Not even Robin heard her.

"Raven...I know you can too...I've...seen you...flying...and...moving stuff...without touching...it...Can you...tell me...one...thing?"

"What?"

"D'you...really love Robin...? Or were...you just...pretending...?"

"I...don't love him..." she ignored the fact that he knew Robin's name and leaned closer.

"You swear?"

"I swear." She wasn't lying. She didn't love him. She didn't really think she loved anyone right then. It was all fading. Benji was her only friend at school; or really anywhere apart from the Titans. She was devastated. The rain poured harder. Many people had cell phones out, calling the police.

"Then...remember...that I do...love you..."

"Benji..." It wasn't romantic. It wasn't anything Raven expected. Benji, laying, dying, on the wet ground, her only non-super friend's death being played out before her eyes. He loved her. She didn't love him. She wanted so desperately to say "I love you too..." but she couldn't lie to him. Not now. Not now that she would never be able to take it back, never ever would he know the truth.

"I know...you...don't love me..."

"Benji!"

"No. Don't...try to..tell me to hold on...It's my time..."

"Benji this isn't you! Your the fun-loving, happy-go-lucky kind of guy! You don't want to die!"

"I'm not." his eyes closed and he faded away.
