TRUTHS

CHAPTER 3

It had happened when slade had filled his mask with a gas that affected robin is mind, and made him see and feel slade to such a degree that the teen had almost died, it had happened when she entered his mind; when raven took it upon herself to find him and confront him on his own mind.

"See trough my eyes"

There minds had merged, had united and made them one individual, from that brief moment she had seen and know every thing about him. Yet It was only a glimpse of his true self, it was so fast that it had angered her; she wished for more but slade had interrupted that and had pushed her out.

"I saw his mind I saw him as he truly is"

The broken hearted child that felt alone and filled with hate and sorrow, the boy who wanted revenge, who wanted to find the murdered of his parents and make him pay. The boy, who wanted attention, who wanted some one to tell him it would be ok but there was no one.

"I wanted to see more"

The oath he had made to the man who had given him his opportunity, the determination and the sadness and sorrow had been replaced. He began to work hard; had a new purpose yet he was alone, always was always would be alone and so robin was born.

"I enjoyed his strength and determination"

He fought because he would not let another suffer or go trough what he had gone trough, because every criminal had the possibility of becoming another Tony shuko, another murdered who would take a kid is parents, so he fought and never rested.

"I rejoiced at the feel of his courage and emotions"

The desire started from that moment on; to her he was a kind unlike the others, dark and mysterious; yet caring and compassionate, funny and relaxed. A balance was found within himself, a balance of robin the serious dark one, to robin the gentle and caring one and dick Grayson the normal human.

"I wanted to know more"

This had made her seek him out, made her want to get to know him better; but time never presented itself to her, she grew angry and frustrated, she wanted more of what had been experience. It started to grow, her interest in him increased and she was caught.

"I began to touch his mind and I like it"

She enjoyed the sensation of being within him, late at night she would sneak to his room and enter his mind to see and rejoiced within him; to experience things trough him and to enjoy being near him, with out knowing it she began to desire him.

"I didn't think it would affect him but it worked both ways"

Robin had become over protective of her, when beast boy had changed into the creature and they had thought him to be behind her kidnapping, robin was driven to fight him and to protect her, to be her champion.

"He felt over protective of me as I of him yet I had more control or so I thought"

The next time she visited him she began to meddle in his mind, the once observer would involve herself and change her appearance to some one he could relate to. He never knew that she was in his dreams interacting with him.

"I disguised myself in his dreams ...he thought he was talking to batgirl or one of you guys when in truth I was disguising myself I liked the attention the ...talking "

The girl enjoyed posing as star fire the most, the boy is attraction for the girl was clearly noticed; yet as she probed deeper within his mind she found that he only saw star fire as some one he liked but did not love, and this made her glad his heart was not taken; he had not found love.

"...I was happy he didn't love star fire ...but I wanted to know why"

She probed deeper and found that he was attracted to her as well, but found her to be out of reach, the girl left not knowing what to do with that realization, after that night she never returned to his room and never interacted with his mind.

"I meditated and submerged all of what I felt and in doing so I awoke a side of me I had long buried deep within myself"

They knew that at a certain age, the girl was to become a woman and as such, her emotions would come into play, so they helped her bind the most dangerous ones love, hate, anger, lust.

"When anger broke free .it weakened my other barriers when terra betrayed us hate was release ...when I entered robin love was stired"

"And when you ignored your feelings for robin lust emerged"

Cyborg shock his head, having emotions was one thing but having them locked away and having to control them was way beyond easy, he knew that much from the simple crush he had on jinx; he had learned how hard it was to bottle things up.

"What about fear? Didn't she break lose?"

"Fear is free to roam free only the four dangerous ones were blinded and submerged by the elder azar"

beast boy looked away and took a deep breath, he felt hurt; he thought that he and raven had been connecting at some level, now he finds that she had the hot for robin all along and thanks to that robin was in a coma this was to much even for him.

"This lust must be stopped, I will not allow her to keep robin even if he does not feel for me love he is still my friend!"

Star fire looked at raven and the girl looks away, she could see the look in star fire is eyes; she was hurt but concern over shadow her hurt, raven knew that she was the cause of this hurt and guilt washed over her once more.

"Lust has him bind to her he has become hers"

"She is you raven if she mates with him she will need to unite all of your others to be able to suppress you the dominant and real raven"

"No this is not an identity crisis she needs balance but when balance is achieved her desire will become mine because like you said she is me"

"Technically she is your desire"

"Yes"

"Cyborg you can be thinking what I think you're thinking"

"Sorry bb it's the only way"

Beast boy looked away, he did not want to accept it, he wanted this to be over; star fire walked towards the silent raven and place a hand on her shoulder.

"If you truly mate with him will the desire banish?"

"Star this is"

"Will it?"

"Yes"

"Then there is no other way to do this is there"

The four nodded and raven picked her mirror from the counter beside her desk, she took a deep breath and looked at all of them, they all nodded and she smiled sadly.

"Azrath metrion zinthos"

With three words, two lives would forever be changed.
