Okay all my little peeps, as promised, I have responded to all your reviews. Unfortunately for you, they're all at the bottom. Also, as promised, I'm gonna have a little fluff. Not much (yet) but some nonetheless (that word is supposed to be bunched like that right?).

Disclaimer: If you don't know by now that I don't own the Teen Titans, then there is some thing wrong.

The bird that cries is a bird with a soul

The halls and rooms of the Titans Tower were in a silent mourning. To all the Titans, it was a fitting silence. The shock of the last 30 minutes wiped the smiles off of everyone. Not even Beast Boy had the heart to try to tell a joke. The only other noise besides the beeping in the medical ward was of Crow sniffing. Though she was desperately relieved that no one blamed her for what happened on the roof, she could not help but to feel guilty. Her eyes were swollen and red, her face tearstained. As another pang of guilt racked her body, she chanced a glance at Robin. He was sitting at the kitchen table, quietly looking at Crow. She thought she saw a look of utmost hatred pass over his hansom expression before she turned sharply ahead as Beast Boy, in the form of an adorable puppy, tried to scramble up into her lap.

But the look that she saw flash across his face was not hatred, but gratitude and curiosity. He, like the rest of the team, had noticed that Crow had always tried to make Raven smile. That she had always tried to get Raven's approval. And he had noticed the worry that was on Raven's eyes when she had streaked past him. It was that worry that made him follow her. And it was a good thing, because when he finally reached the roof, it was to find Crow cradling an unconscious Raven ion her lap, sobbing desperately calling out for Raven to wake up, for Raven not to be dead, and for someone to help her. When he had finally gotten Crow to calm down long enough to explain what happened away from the rest of the team, Raven had already gone into her healing trance. He alone had noticed the scorch marks on the roof and on Crow's shoulder. It was when he looked at Crow that he felt that he was closest to Raven. And he knew that they were connected, in whatever way. He felt that Crow was keeping a secret from him, a secret that she had, no doubt, trusted Raven with.

Stifling a yell of frustration, he stood up abruptly and walked off into the medical ward. He peeped tenably around the corner in hopes of seeing Raven's conditions changed for the better. His hopes were dashed. He walked quietly to her bedside and sat down in the chair placed next to it, the chair that, only 5 minutes ago, Crow had sat in. He looked down at Raven's floating body and tried to blink back the tears that were burning his eyes.

A light knock was heard as Starfire came and placed a hand on her shoulders.

"We are planning to go to the Training ward to kick the butt of our frustrations. Would you care to join?" she asked quietly, hoping against all hopes that she was not mistaken in Robin's feelings towards Raven, that he didn't like her as much as she thought.

"No." he replied gruffly.

Starfire left the ward, her expression crestfallen. She had been afraid of this moment, when Robin would, ultimately, fall for her violet haired friend. At the door, she stopped to take one last look at Robin before she finally gave up on the fact that Robin would never be hers.

'Raven,' thought Robin, a lone tear finally falling down his face. 'If only you knew. If only you knew how much I really care.'

Robin, once again stood up. But instead of leaving immediately, he bent down slightly and ever so slightly, and ever so gently kissed Raven. He vowed then and there that he would let her know just what she meant to him.

Crow, who had came to see why Robin had not left for the Training facility, walked in just long enough to see Robin kiss Raven. A small and sad smile played across her lips. And a sudden thought came to her. Maybe, just maybe, her mother and father got together because of her. Her eyes widened as she recalled her mother's final words before being thrown into the past.

"Don't touch that yet." She mumbled. "Oh god! She knew! That's why she showed me that room! She already knew!"

Hatred101: As promised, here are my replies to all of the newest comments. If I left someone out, I'm terribly sorry.

Superchic116: Thnx for the advice in chapter 9 that led, ultimately to chappies 10, 11 and 12. Your loyalty towards my story has been flattering (smiles with a idiotic grin) I owe you alot more than you will ever realize. You've done a lot for me by cheering me on. Also, when are you going to make a new cahppie. That can't be the end of it. I've gotta read more. And when I said there were things that I would change, I was refering to Raven. She cannot lose her life so early on... but then again there might be some new chappies ehh?

Raven1777: Raven was not all that angry. It was when Raven was mad at Crow, and hatred got loose. Also, thnx for reviewing my story you've no idea how much your cheering me on has helped my story, as well as my confidence.

Ravenrouge19: Who said any thing about editing my story? I like it just the way it is, errors and all. How ever, I am thinking about adding more renegade talks. Thnx for the sympathy, but one of these days (when I'm on my own and taking on all the hardships of adulthood), my life will be perfect once again I'm sure. Thnx sooo much for your constant reviewing. Without it, I might have given up on this story a long time ago.

Raven 'teacher: (grins evilly) but of course I had to stop at that point, I had to make you want to read more, didn't I? Thnx for reviewing.

Crow: God Hatred, you are soo long winded.

Hatred101: (glares)
