Chapter 6: All is fair in Love and War

Silence. That was the only thing Raven could hear. She didn't want to look up. She stayed in her fetal position. She didn't want to see Robin laying there dead, or even injured.

"…Robin?..." she finally said. She heard a slight grunt; Robin didn't have the strength to let out any actual words. Raven took on final deep breath, and stood up. Robin lay on his back, his face showed his pain and anguish.

"Raven?" Robin's voice seemed louder than usual, and crackled, and more…high pitched?

"Robin?" she asked. Robin shook his head. Raven looked down, her communicator was blinking.

"THE LIGHTS! The power, Opera's power, its all out!" Raven then pulled up her communicator

"Terra, Beast Boy are you okay!"

"This is Terra, Beast Boy was injured, just like Robin, they need help. Opera is trying to get the power back online, we need to hurry!"

"10-4!" Raven answered, and then turned it off. "Robin…Robin can you hear me?" Robin sighed deeply, trying to show his conciseness. "Hurry Robin, we need to get out of here! Opera is tying to get the power working again, this is our only hope." Robin could not move one inch. "ROBIN!" pleaded Raven. She bent down and grabbed his arm. He used every ounce of power in his soul to grab her arm as well. Raven looked down at him. She saw his pain, she could almost feel it. Wait…she could feel it. Did that mean, that their connection…when they had each entered each other's minds was back? It had somewhat scarred her powers, but not in a bad way. It was somewhat of a remnant of that happening, within her powers. Sometimes she could feel Robin's feelings or pain. Could that possibly mean that her powers were coming back? She felt his forehead. Cold beads of sweat lingered on his skin. She took in a deep breath. It had only been possibly a few hours, but Raven felt as though it was an eternity, and that she had to remember how to use her powers. Or was it possibly thee fact she felt a little nervous sitting next to Robin, laying her hand on his head.

"Are you nervous?" Robin breathed. Oh no. Robin could feel her feelings as well.

"No, why?" she defended.

"Because I know you…and your hand is sweating like a pig." He answered, opening his eyes slightly. Oh. Maybe she was sweating. Raven let out a forced fake little laugh, trying to just heal him. She felt a little surge of power rush through her arm. It wasn't enough though. Her powers weren't fully returned. She sat back, and held her head in thought. Robin was still holding her arm.

"Raven, what's wrong?"

"I can't do anything to help…again." She felt guilty.

"How is this your fault?" He asked her.

"I don't know. I yell at you, then you save my life and I can't repay you. It's just a little nerve-wrecking that's all." Robin smiled at Raven.

"All is fair in love and war." He whispered. Raven usually would've snapped at him, but...she didn't. She turned her head back at him. She felt a presence behind her, and jerked around. "C'mon Love birds, we don't have time for this mushy crap." BB said. He was being supported by Terra, as he had one hand around her. Raven face turned a slight pink, and then quickly flushed back to her natural skin tone. Beast Boy let go of Terra, able to stand on his own now. The heavy footsteps of the Cyclops were heard as he made his way over, along with the always cheery Starfire. The other two female team mates forced Raven to the other side of the room without a word and cornered her as the green one and the part Robot helped Robin.

"What the f-" Began Raven.

"Shut up! Now talk!" Demanded Terra. It wasn't in an angry tone of voice, rather a nosey tone.

"Yes speak, with all words of truth!" Asked an excited Starfire.

"What the hell are you two talking about?" asked Raven.

"We must stop munching around the floorblott Terra."

"Probably…" Terra answerd.

"I'm still a little lost…" Said Raven as she spoke up.

"DID YOU KISS HIM!" They both asked rather loudly.

"WHAT?" asked Raven. She looked over their shoulders, and saw Bird Boy who had suddenly looked up at the sound of the word.

"I didn't kiss anyone! I was trying to heal him!"

Then, the lights flickered back to life, and an angry voice interrupted over the intercom "I have given you all time for your fair love, it is time for war."
