Look, I know I said that I would reply to all of my new comments, but my time on the internet is limited, and I've already wasted all my time for today, and I promise that my next chapter will have replies for all of my faithful readers. I thank you for giving me a minute of your time when I first started this story. w

Overdriving the emotions.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN ' SHE'S GONE'!" yelled Raven, wide eyed, staring at Starfire, who looked slightly scared at her friend's reaction.

"Please friend, don't yell. All I am trying to say is that when I went to ask her if she would like to join me to the mall of shopping, she was not there. I checked everywhere that I thought she would go. Please, tell me Raven, I thought you cared nothing for the new friend and teammate. Was I wrong in thinking that?"

But Raven didn't give Starfire time to finish her question before a sudden idea came to her and she was off. As she floated threw the air, past a confused and bewildered Robin, she prayed to god that Crow would be up on the roof. Raven knew that Crow was telling the truth when she told her that she was her daughter, for at the moment Crow said the word 'daughter', all the defenses that had been a constant companion with Crow dropped, and a sudden rush of emotions and memories and thoughts had came to her. True, she still didn't think that she was ready to be a mother, especially since Hatred was still running around, a renegade thief amongst a room of gold. She knew that Hatred still had a chance of consuming her. 'Especially now' thought Raven grimly.

Upon reaching the roof, Raven suppressed a sigh. There Crow was, in the same position that she, Raven, had been in so many times; feet dangling off the edge of the roof, leaning back on her arms, faced towards the city as the sun set facing her, a sight that almost made her sparkle with untold beauty that had yet to fully develop.

Yet, amongst this beautiful sight, Raven could still hear her emotions. It seemed as if the others had caught up with Hatred, and were giving it their all. Unfortunately, Hatred was winning. The last thing that Raven remembered was Hatred giving a echoing roar, and Crow looking back to see Raven, a look of barely contained terror mirroring her emerald green eyes as she scrambled to her feet and called out her name.

Crow, sensing some one behind her, turned her head to see Raven. But this was not how she expected to see Raven. Raven now had four eyes instead of two, and the top set were dark crimson, with a blood red tinge to them. Her normal set of eyes was glowing in a strange white aura. Half of her body was covered in infected looking yellowish aura, whilst the other half was shrouded in a pitch-black aura. Not fully knowing what was happening, she gave a startled and terrified yell.

"RAVEN!"

As a ring of fire erupted around Raven's feet, she was slowly being risen up. Adrenaline started to pump through her veins as she thought frantically for what to do. Finally, with a cry, she ran at Raven, and tackled her down, hitting Raven's head on the rooftop as they fell. As soon as Raven was unconscious, she returned to normal, and her head lagged to one side. Fearing that she had killed her mother, Crow yelled.

"Some one HELP! ROBIN, CYBORG, ANYONE HELP!"

Crow looked around her in panic. Terrified, Crow sat there Raven's head lying against her legs, tears pouring down her face. At that moment, when she thought all was lost, Crow realized just how hard she had been for her mother, and she knew there was nothing that she could do to change it.

Hatred101: Well, I really gotta go now, 'cause 1 Crow's chasing me for hurting Raven like that, and 2 my time on the computer is spent. If anyone has any idea on what should happen next, then I am all ears. Know that in the next chapter, you will 1) get replies to all of the new reviews and 2) hopefully get a little Robin/Raven fluff. T-T-F-N.

Crow: GET BACK HERE YOU MANGY WELCH OF A WH#E!

Hatred101: (runs off full speed, laughing the whole time)
