Hmm. No new reviews. Oh, well. I'll post anyway. No one even answered my question!

SRQOTD: You may fool some of the people all of the time; you may even fool all of the people some of the time; but you cannot fool all of the people all of the time. –Abraham Lincoln

Again, Robin started to talk to Raven. "You put too much pressure on yourself. Let it out with your teammates. Tell us what's going on." he said.

Raven started muttering. "The curse. The prophesy. Connected. Don't tell. Have. To. Tell. No!" Raven sat bolt upright again, looking wildly around.Robin sat there. "It's OK, Raven. Tell me what's going on." he said calmly.

Raven grabbed hold of Robin's shirt and started crying. "Can't tell. Must tell. He'll hurt me!"

"It's OK. You can tell me. Please, tell me what's going on." Robin said, pulling Raven into a tight embrace so that she could cry on his shoulder.

"The-The prophecy... and the curse... they're connected." Raven started, trying to calm herself down enough to talk.

"Tell me what prophecy and what curse." Robin said, still holding Raven in that embrace. Her tears had finally reduced to quiet hiccups.

"The-the prophecy made at my birth is connected to the curse on my father. You see, my father wasn't always evil. He was cursed to be evil for the rest of his life. And all his children were cursed to be half- if not full- demons. So, as soon as my father dies, that's when the prophecy will be fulfilled." Raven said, talking into Robin's shirt.

"And who will kill you?" Robin asked.

"Slade. If the prophecy isn't fulfilled, Slade doesn't get any power. So I must be converted to full demon, for the prophecy. I want to help my f-father, I really do. But I don't want to endanger the whole world for him." Raven lay back down on the bed, exhausted with all the talking.

"It's Okay, Raven. We'll find a way out of this. Sleep peacefully for now." Robin said. Raven fell asleep with Robin stroking her hair. When Raven woke up, Robin had fallen into a deep sleep sitting up.

'This would be such a nice time to find out what color his eyes are. But that would betray my trust. Should I take his mask off?' Raven lay there thinking until the Boy Wonder woke up. "Why are you staring at me like that?" he asked.

"Um... Well..." Raven looked around, trying to find an answer and decided on the truth. "I was wondering what color your eyes were." she siad, looking down.

"My. Eyes?" Robin asked.

"Yes. I have never seen the color of your eyes before. What color are they?" Raven asked. Robin didn't answer.

He reached up and pulled at the tie behind his head, hidden beneath his hair. Slowly the mask came off. Beneath it lay a pair of beautiful blue eyes. So full of wisdom, yet so naiive. Raven was entranced and lay there, staring into Robin's eyes until he put his mask back on.

"Your eyes are so beautiful." Raven whispered. "So mature, yet young at the same time. It's like they've never seen anything firsthand and yet, learned so much."

"Yes. That's why I leave the mask on. I can see all the danger in the world, yet when the mask comes off, I'm a normal child." Robin said.

"Really?" Raven asked.

"Would I lie to you? It's too much fun to tell you the truth and sometimes lie. It keeps you guessing." Robin said.

"You know I don't like guessing games." Raven's voice had been full of emotion, but now it returned to it's normal monotone.

"Ah, but it's almost as fun as making fun of the really dumb shows on TV." Robin replied.

"Yeah." Raven said. She looked at the foot of the bed, almost like she was cursing it.

"You know," Robin said, trying to get on a non-painful subject. He couldn't believe that he had mentioned Beastboy like that. "As soon as Cyborg checks you over, you might be able to leave here. Want to go for a walk in the park?"

"Sure. When I can leave this god-forsaken bed. I don't need to be in here." Raven said. She pounded her fist into the pillow. "Why are you treating me like a delicate child?"

"We just don't want to see you get hurt." Robin said, not quite telling the truth.

"Really. I don't think that's the whole truth. Why aren't you letting me leave?" Raven asked. She crossed her arms over her chest and waited for an answer.

"Iloveyou." Robin murmured, so that Raven almost didn't hear it.

"Excuse me? Can you repeat that a little louder please?" Raven asked.

"I love you." Robin said, looking down at the ground.

"Really?" Raven looked shocked. She lay down on the pillow and turned to look at Robin. "Is that the truth?"

"That's the cold hard truth. Please don't make me say it again." Robin said, slightly pleading.

"I won't. In fact, I-" Cyborg came in at that moment.

"Checkup time!" he said loudly.

"Jeez, Cyborg. Could you be any louder?" Raven asked.

"Hmm. Maybe. I'll try later." Cyborg said. In a few moments the checkup was over. "You're free to go."

"Good." Raven stood up and walked out of the room.

"Man, you've got it bad." Cyborg told Robin.

"What do you mean?" Robin asked, pretending innocence.

"You kept an eye on Raven during the whole checkup. Could you be any more obvious?" Cyborg said.

"I don't know. I probably could. It would be fun." Robin said. "Keeps people guessing." With that, Robin walked out of the room, leaving Cyborg behind to figure out that last comment.

Robin walked down the hall and stopped at Raven's door. He hesitated, not sure of whether he should knock or not. But then the door opened and there stood Raven in a navy blue shirt with a glittery silver butterfly and blue jeans. "I was just coming to find you." Raven said.

They took a ride to the park on the R-Cycle, and then left it near the entrance for the ride home.

It was a beautiful day. The sky was cloud-free, near the middle of spring, and it wasn't too bright outside. For a while Robin and Raven walked in silence, admiring the beauty of the park. Then Raven stopped and sat on the edge of a fountain nearby. Robin stopped, too. "What is it? Are you tired? Should we go home?" he asked.

"No. I'm just thinking." Raven said. "Robin, what you said, back in the infirmary, it was true, right?" It was obvious that she had to talk about this, even if she didn't want to.

"Every word of it. And it isn't changing, either." Robin said, sitting down next to Raven.

"Well, I thought that you liked Starfire more, so I hid my feelings toward you. But, the truth is, I-I love you, too." Raven said, looking down.

Robin took Raven's chin gently and made her look up at him. "I don't love Starfire. I love you. But I won't push you. I'll wait until you're better about Beastboy."

"Beastboy. I thought I loved him. That was more like a brother-sister love, though. I now realize that. I also realize that the day I wanted to cut myself, it was out of love for you and the fact that you probably wouldn't love me back." Raven said.

Robin was stunned. Raven, the least talkative member of the Teen Titans, was now wearing her heart on her sleeve and telling him everything. "Well, that was unexpected. Most people would commit suicide because of someone else who had committed suicide. But you committed suicide right after BB because of me." he said.

"Yes." Raven said.

"Well, you don't have to try to commit suicide again. Because I'm not leaving you like Beastboy." Robin said.

"Promise?" was all Raven asked.

"Promise." Robin said.

REVIEW! Yes, I know, desperate plea from a desperate author, but when you don't review, I think you don't like me. Then I go sulk of hours and don't write for days. So, if you want more, you have to review.

I'm going to ask adifferent question, and whoever gets it right first, will decide who the new character is (if there is one).

Ready?

In Harry Potter, how did Sirius die?
