OOC: Okay, now its getting good.. Hopefully this shall please you all, as I think it shall. And I do like the idea of, "To Repair a Glass Rose," as a title... I will probably be changing it to that because I am utterly bored with this title..hehe...

Disclaimer: I do not own them. I do own Red's unmasked self though. He is mine! Rawr!

"This can't be right."

"We saw her."

"No."

"Beast Boy-"

"That couldn't have been her."

"Friend, I do not know..."

"Star, I have to agree with Beast Boy. That didn't seem like Raven."

"That was her. That was the real Raven."

"That was her body. We could see that even through the dyes. But there was soemthing different about her."

"Yeah. She was happy."

"She was happy kicking our butts!"

"Well, what are we going to do?"

"Raven's our friend. She couldn't have joined Red X."

"We made her so mad."

There was a groan. "This is like Terra all over again."

"Beast Boy- Remember what Raven said before she..left?"

"She said... she said we thought she'd be another Terra."

"What if she's getting back at us?"

"She hurt us, Robin. Our friend Raven hurt us."

"Yes, but not horribly. We all know she could have killed us easily."

"But she hurt us. She attacked us."

"She's confused-"

"Robin, face it. She's gone bad."

"No!"

"No."

"Raven's not bad. She's messed up, but never bad."

"What are we going to do?"

"Talk to her?"

"Her communicator's gone."

"Face to face."

"How do you suppose we do that? Knock on her door and let her hurt us again?"

"We do not even know where our friend is."

"Stop calling her that Star. She hurt us! She's not our friend."

"Raven is our friend and would not have turned on us."

"That wasn't just Raven, remember? She told us she was Rose."

"So she got a new name, what does that have to do?"

"It's a sort of symbol. Raven is still with us. Rose is the one with Red X. Two different desires within one body."

"What are we going to do?"

"I don't know."

"THINK OF SOMETHING! THIS IS RAVEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT, NOT SOME ORDINARY VILLAIN! SHE CAN DO SERIOUS DAMAGE!"

"But she hasn't."

"SO!"

"She hasn't and she won't. She trying to teach us a lesson."

"And?"

"We have to show her we're her friends still."

"Whatever."

"I do wish to see Raven."

"Aren't you afraid she'll attack us again?"

"Its not Raven I'm afraid of.."

"Then who will is it?"

"Rose."

"That was...actually fun."

Red smiled at her as he slipped off his mask, the two lounging comfortably in his apartment, the bag of jewels spread across the room. Raven examined a silver bangle curiously while Red was simply admiring a large diamond necklace.

"I'm glad you agree, Rose."

Raven nodded to him, the hint of a smile touching her lips once more. She slipped the bangle over her wrist along with several others.

It was odd what was happening to her. As she found herself becoming less and less of a Teen Titan and the Raven they knew, she was becoming more and more like Rose.

Rose was fearless, brave, cocky, sarcastic, and anxious constantly. Rose wasn't afraid to smile or to scream, to be angry,. As Raven sunk deeper and deeper into Rose, she began to even accept her secret and the curse she had of being emotionless. She found that her life of caution was over. Instead of confining the emotions in her mind she could release them and become...normal.

"What shall we do now?"

"What time is it?"

"1:45"

"Only?"

"Yep."

"Well..."

"How about we head down to the warehouses."

"Warehouses?"

"Yeah, there's a dance club there."

Rose almost laughed at that, her finger upon the necklace around ehr neck. She raised an eyebrow skeptically. "I don't dance. And I'm surprised you do."

"Oh, what's wrong... Afraid of dancing? Its quite simple."

"I never like to do it."

"Why not?"

"I just...didn't."

Red reached out and took Rose's hand pulling her off the couch and spinning her before putting his hands upon her waist. Confused, Rose reached out and placed her hands upon his shoulders as she had seen so many others do before. Her heart began to beat wildly, she felt a flush creep up her neck.

Red swayed slightly. Raven felt a burning feeling where his hands were, reassuring, not painful, calming. It was funny how a simple mark like that could leave you feeling tender in that spot for longer than any injury could cause you pain.

She shifted and moved away slightly only to have him move closer. One hand slipped from her hip and touched her chin, raising it so he looked straight into her eyes.

"You know Raven, you always fascinated me."

Raven could say nothing. Suddenly she was trapped in his gaze, his hypnotic eyes watching her ever so carefully and full of care.

"You were so different. Different form the others. I felt like we had quite a bit in common, Raven. I am grateful Rose is my guest."

Raven nodded slightly, still caught but managing to say a few words. "I am glad you are such a wonderful host."

Red laughed lightly and pulled Raven forward cupping his mouth over hers in a kiss.

Raven's eyes widened in surprise, broken suddenly from that gaze but she let them close, allowing herself to be swept up in the kiss, melting into him, fitting together with him as if two perfectly made puzzle pieces, their lips touching long and steady. Red was neither aggressive nor shy, but simple, obviously not a novice, passion sweeping through Raven as she felt her knees quiver, grateful for his hand upon her waist to steady her.

He pulled away, to Raven's sorrow and she met his gaze, this time not caught within it but meeting it with equal care and comfort. Red smiled and brushed a strand of her hair.

"Remember. Rose or Raven, you will always have my respect and my friendship."

Raven smiled softly.

"Rose will always remain at your side."

"Promise?"

"Promise."

He swept her into another kiss and Raven lost all senses once more, drowning in the sweet pure passion.
