You know what? I've been wondering, is there actually anyone who reads these things? I mean, really. Don't most people generally ignore these messages? Let us all ponder that for a sec……… Okay, I'm bored now. TT N/E/Way, to ravenrouge19: uhhh…sha she did. THNXYIES FOR THE COMPLIMENT! Also, sorry if the fighting scene sucked, but I'm not very good at those. Okay, now to get back to muh luvely story.

Lovely surprise

Much to her surprise, it did. But it wasn't just his hands that were bound. It was also his entire body! Unable to move, Slade ranted and roared, finally coming quite when he realized he could not escape.

By that time, everyone had been through just long enough to see her bind him, and everyone but Raven ran to Crow, cheering and congratulating. Robin, however happy for the assistance, was upset.

"You defied a direct order."

"Come on Robin, she helped us out!" exclaimed Cyborg.

"Actually, Robin, as much as I hate to admit it, he's right. I don't think that you could have made it without her." Replied Raven begrudgingly.

"It doesn't matter! She could have gotten us all killed! She doesn't know how to fully use her powers for god's sake! That is why I have no choice… no choice at all… Crow, you must stay with us to learn to control your powers. Even… even if it means becoming a Teen Titan." Robin said smiling in a ridiculous lopsided kind of way while giving her a slight and awkward hug. An outraged gasp from Raven was heard before she teleported away.

"Why doesn't Raven like me?" asked Crow, pain lacing in every word.

"Hay, don't worry, that's just how Raven is. She doesn't trust people. It's not like she thinks you're a immature grass stain like BB." Cyborg said comfortingly.

"Yeah it's no—hay!" sputtered Beast Boy indignantly.

Crow couldn't help but to smile as Beast Boy stalked off in a huff, muttering all the way.

"They all like her Raven." Spoke Hatred slyly "They all think that she is better than you for beating Slade."

"No they don't, none of them trust her, that's why…"

"Why what Raven! Is that why the said she could join the team?" said Hatred in a biting tone.

"They're only doing that so she can be watched, so she can be trained, so she can't hurt anyone" Desperation is creeping into her voice.

"THEN TELL ME PRESIOUS RAVEN, WHY WAS HE HUGGING HER? YOU LOVE HIM DO YOU NOT?"

"Yes…"

"THEN FIGHT FOR HIM! DO NOT LET HER BEAT YOU AND TAKE HIM AWAY FROM YOU! BREAK HER SPIRIT, CRUSH HER SOUL, DESTROY THAT PRETTY FACE OF HERS AND MAKE HER REGRET FOR EVER TRYING TO TAKE AWAY OUR MAN!"

"He's not ours."

"BUT HE'S NOT HERS EITHER!"

STOOOOOOOOPPPPPPP! LEAVE ME ALONE! YOU DO NOT CONTROL ME!" Raven screamed. She listened quietly for a minute, dreading that the newly renegade emotion would leave her alone. Silence. Raven sighed. This is not a good thing. If Hatred was able to speak to her so clearly, then she is going to need to come to terms with the object of her problems; Crow. What was it about that girl that upset her so much? A moan escaped from her lips. She knew exactly what was wrong. Robin likes her. There was no way to be sertan as of yet, but Raven was sure that he liked her. And there was the look that she often had on her face that made her question whether Crow didn't like Robin too.

Raven sat down quietly. If she was ever going to be able to face Crow again, she would need to calm down considerably. In a soft, almost singsong voice, Raven started to chant. This was going to be a looooonnnnnggggg day for meditation, and Raven hoped, the their sake, no one disturbed her.

Hatred101: sorry if these chapters are starting to suck, I'm trying to force the story amidst a major writers block, and a brain fart.

Crow: no kidding, your story is really starting to suck furry monkey balls!

Hatred101: glare try not to be too kind in your words. --

Crow: nonchalant shrugging that would be too easy -o
