The hits were loud and echoed around her she tried focused

They were continuous, following a rhythm one after another; slowly she opened her eyes and her vision blurred.

The blur began to clear and she saw she was within a dark sphere, her head hurt and her eyes were sensitive to light a far of voice called out to her.

punch

Raven...come on please

It pleaded with her, why would it plead with her? Even tough it sounded familiar she did not know why it would plead with her, and then something caught her eye.

punch

A crimson lining was falling down from the sphere shape dome she was in. The way it was glimmering it told her it was blood, focusing she saw a figure standing there behind the blood.

punch

Please please

punch

The voiced it sounded so worried and sad, she wanted to know why, clearing her vision she focused and saw a teen probably the same age as her punching the dome she was in, her breath caught in her throat his fist they were bleeding.

"S-stop ..."

She tried to call out to him but all it came out was a faint whisper, she tried to move and found she couldn't, the figure it was hurt his knuckles were open, bleeding and he didn't seem to be wanting to stop.

Her mind tried to figure it out why would he do this? As the punches continued she heard a bone chilling noise and knew he had broken his hand, yet he continued to punch the dome.

I will not lose you

The voice belonged to him, she witnessed as the dome began to crack and light began to sip trough the cracks, the punches continued to fall on the glassy surface and she felt tears fall from her eyes such pain he endure why would he?

Then as the dome crashed around her, she saw him in his costume standing before her and her memories flooded back to her, she knew who he was and she cried as she spoke his name.

"Robin ..."

It started when she meet him and became friends, they formed a team called the teen titans she was one of the members; third in command next to cyborg her name was raven and he was robin, ironically she didn't know that they would one day share flight within the wings of there emotions.

"We meet and befriended one another"

She spoke and turned at her surroundings, darkness overwhelmed her but she was not afraid, she knew some one was there with her and she smiled when the figure stepped beside her.

"We became close"

"No word were spoken between us yet we formed a bond"

"We knew each other and respected each other"

"Trusted and care for one another"

"Until we felt there was something more"

"And we pulled away from one another"

"You went to her and I detached myself from the world"

"We thought it was fine that we could deal with it"

"I could not"

"Nor could I"

The two figures gazed at one another and held each other as every thing came back to her and she smiled.

FLASH BACK ()()

They had entered her mind using her mirror, they had thought they would be prepared for what they saw they were wrong, raven closed her eyes in pain at the sight before her, cyborg clenched his fist when he saw the sight beast boy looked away and star fire cried.

There before them were her emotions blinded in bondage; sharp cables dug into there skin and ripped there outfits, hanging from walls, chained to the ground or being hanged on tall tress, there arms high up in the air and there bodied dangling.

"H-how could she do this"

"She has absorbed hate and anger"

Beast boy looked at timid and rushed towards her, she smiled sadly and shock as the cable dug deep into her body, she was tied to a column hanging about ten feet from the ground.

"Ill gets you down!"

"n-no ...please j-just save him"

The titans shared an equally concerned look and timid looked at the direction she wanted them to go to, they nodded even if beast boy wanted to let her down he knew by doing so lust would be aware of there arrival.

"R-raven?"

"Yes timid?"

"I ...im sorry I couldn't h-help the others"

"Rest now I will handle her"

Timid nodded and raven walked along side the others, her fist clenched beside her the other looked at the cave before them and felt a shiver ran down there spine, walking inside the noticed a figure walking towards them.

"Defeat me and I will allow you to pass"

The other look at each other and then back at the figure of robin is alter ego red-x stood before them his eyes glowed red and they rushed towards him.

"why are you here?"

Raven rushed towards him and threw a side kick, he managed to block it but before he could counter a star bold send him to the ground; only for him to roll on the ground and stand he threw a side punch and connected with beast boy.

"You're not the only one with issues raven"

Red x smiled and rushed towards her, raven flew upwards and red x was now standing face to face with cyborg's ion cannon, he had been behind raven cyborg smiled fired but x banished and re appeared behind him.

"Nice trick she cloaked you enough for me not to see you"

"Yeah well let jus aaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh"

Red x smiled as he place a hand on his back, red electricity rushed trough all of cyborg is body sending him to the ground, x saw star and jump away from cyborg as he was about to land a hand grabbed him from the back.

"Wha..."

His voice faded and raven threw him to the floor, walking towards the others she noticed they were glancing at her; she just ignored them and continued to walk inside the cave.

"What was that?"

"He is merely and illusion I simply destroyed it"

"Ok we should..."

Beast boy is words caught in his voice when he saw lust sitting on her throne, her outfit was much more revealing than that of raven, instead of a spandex leotard, she was wearing a ripped suit that covered only the essentials.

"You made it, good"

"Enough lust were is he?"

"Robin do come out and say hello"

The titans gasped when they saw him kneel beside her and bowed his head, she smiled and pulled his hair making his head jerk backwards, she smirked and leaned towards him capturing his lips within her own.

"Stop this now"

"Your angry raven temper temper"

"You want temper miss hot ill show you temper titans go!"

Cyborg rushed towards her and the other titans followed, star was about to shoot a star bold but then robin rose and threw dark shaped spheres towards them, the smoke screen was enough to distracted them.

"robin what!"

But he didn't answer them he walked towards them and his outfit changed from his red and green to a dark and red one, his masked changed, his hair grew longer lust walked beside him and held on to his arm.

"Nightmare robin is mine titans"

"Stop it ..."

"What's the matter raven angry?"

"Lust I will never forgive you for this I will bury you deep within my mind and there you will never reawaken"

"Enough of this nightmare robin dispose of them"

He walked towards them and they took a step backwards, as he pulled his bow staff, it changed into a zilches.

"Robin don't do this man fight her!"

Cyborg is plead feel on deaf ears, and robin slashed at him the metallic titan managed to dodge and counter with a blast robin staggered backwards and was hit with a star bolt from behind he turned around.

"We do not wish to hurt you"

He did not stop he threw a punch towards star fire and then a slash she threw him to the ground he staggered to stand.

"Please don't do this robin we don't want to hurt you"

He did not listened in trembling legs he stood and looked towards him, his outfit was torn and burned he was hit full force from all of there attacks yet he did not waver and he rushed towards them.

"Please!"

Star fire pleaded but he continued to attack his right kick sent beast boy to the ground, cyborg punched robin on the face the teen staggered back; but counter with a punch of his own, daze cyborg took a step back as robin was about to slash at him a bolt of green hit im in his arm.

Broken his arm was disabled but the figure didn't stop, nightmare robin wouldn't stop, no matter how battered and bruised his body was; each time he was sent to the ground he stood up and fought once more, as the titans battles lust smiled and saw the fifth member didn't join in the fight, raven just stared.

She sensed something in the girl, lust had never sensed this and yet there was something coming alive within the girl, but she did not care she was powerless she could not fight robin, she couldn't fight yet raven walked towards the fight.

Cyborg, beast boy and star fire all were panting and tired, they didn't want to harm him any more, yet as he was about to approached and attack once more raven walked passed them and walked towards robin standing in front of him.

"I'm sorry"

One move one hesitation and she stabbed him, robin is eyes widened, raven closed her eyes, and looked away, falling to his knees, he heard a sob before his face hit the ground.

The titans did not move and lust cried in sorrow, she turned towards the girl who is gaze burned into her, they both hated one another and as lust glared at the titans raven stood before lust.

"You kill my beloved"

"I killed my love"

"By doing so"

"I have killed myself as well"

"No"

Lust walked towards her, her hand created and energy blade and embedded raven in it, lust pulled away and the blade left raven is torso were it had pierced her.

"You die with him I will live on"

Raven fell to her knees and then her body slumped down to the ground, her face was on the dirt slowly she crawled towards his fallen figure she reached him and smiled sadly.

"I'm sorry"

She noticed his eyes were open he was watching her with surprise, he was shedding tears of how own now, tenderly she reached and stoke his face with her hand, he lock eyes with her and trembled with sorrow.

"No"

He whispered and reached for her, but his hand was blocked, a dark energy had engulfed the girl that had stabbed him, he looked towards his mistress and saw the smile on her face.

"She will die alone she will never know the love you held for her"

But lust didn't not count on him struggling to stand, she did not count on him being able to stand; and staggered towards the force field, un able to stop him and un able to move lust glared at him.

"She is lost to you! You will never have her!"

But the figure didn't listened, he looked at the dark dome and began to punch the surface, each blow to the dark energy made his body tremble with pain, his side bleed, but he didn't stop he loved raven he remember now.

"Stop it!"

Finally being able to move lust reached for him, but he pushed her away and continued to pummel against the dark energy, calling her name asking to whom ever would listened to help him to aid him to not lose her.

"She doesn't love you"

Lust is ramblings did not distracted him and he continue on his task, he would not stop, not until the barrier broke and lust walked away from him, walking towards her throne, she sits and watches the events un fold.

END FLASH BACK ()()

Raven opened her eyes and smiled, she sat up and looked at the figure in her arms, closing her eyes she began to tremble and sob, he had done this for her, his body battered and bruised, hurt and dying he had saved her and she hugged his body to her own.

"I will always be with you"

She spoke.
