Robin

As I waited for Raven to wake up, thoughts kept going through my head. Mainly the fact that I was going to kill the guy who had done this do her. I sighed to myself as I stared at her. She had been asleep for almost two days now, and I was beginning to worry that she was in a coma or something. It was scary that this could happen to her...I mean, I knew everyone could get hurt and such, but this had never happened to Raven before. I guess I had just never thought about the possibility likeI hadwith the others. A few minutes passed, as I saw her stir. In the next few seconds, she opened her eyes and looked up at me. "Robin?" I thought I would die. Her voice sounded so...So...I can't describe it. It sounded hopeful, and it made my heart flutter.

"Yeah, Rae," I replied. She nodded and looked around with a sigh.

"Can I leave now?" she asked. I gave her a strange look.

"You just woke up!" I protested. She raised her eyebrow.

"I know that, I'm not an idiot. How long have I been asleep?" she said. I could tell she was a little nervous. I gulped.

"About two days," I told her. Her eyes widened and she sat up.

"TWO DAYS! Why didn't you wake me up? Why was I asleep so long? Am I sick? Did I get a disese from him!" I could tell she was panicking, and I sighed.

"Yes, we thought you needed rest, I don't think so, and Lord I hope not," I answered all of her questions in order. Apparently I didn't help, because she let out a frsutrated scream and buried her face in her pillow. I walked over, and, for some odd reason, put my hand on her back and began to rub it soothingly. Starfire walked into the room and I heard the door knob fall off. Blushing, both Raven and I looked up to see her eyes glowing bright green, no doubt from anger.

"Friend Robin?" she asked. I stared at her blankly for a moment.

"Yes?" I asked.

"Might I be able to peak with you in private?" she replied. My eyebrows rose. What did she want to say to me? We dated for less than a week before I broke up with her, did she want to give it another chance? It had been two months ago...I hoped that's not what she wanted. I had fallen in love with another girl, and I wasn't afraid to admit it. After a moment or two of feeling the stares of both women in the room, I nodded.

"Sure, Star," I said, walking out of the room reluctantly.

"Friend Robin?" Starfire asked sweetly when we were in the hall.

"What?" I asked, a little annoyed.

"Do you have the feelings of 'love' for Friend Raven?" she asked.

"Um, well...Yes, I suppose I do. Why?" I asked awkwardly. Starfire looked as though she would suddenly burst into tears.

"Why her? Why not me? Am I not satisfying in bed?" she asked. I think I blushed. "Why would you like her? She's so different." Ok, now the girl had hit a nerve.

"Just because I don't have those kinds of feelings for you doesn't mean you can insult her," I said defensively. She glared. I was rather surprised, I had never seen her glare...Well, never at me.

"But Friend Raven is part demon! She is evil! Would you not like someone like me to please you and keep you happy for life? You would not have to worry about dealing with Trigon if you chose me," she insisted. I glared right back.

"She's not evil!" I snapped. "Part demon, yes, but she didn't choose this life. I wouldn't mind having to deal with Trigon, thats what friends do, or have ou forgotten?" he mouth dropped as I said that, and I turned around and walked back into the infirmary.

I was rather shocked to see Raven turned around on one side. I'm not sure why. It was a normal bed position. I guess I had just never seen her sleep before. But, when she turned around to look at me, her eyes held tears again. Damn, I thought, she's been crying a lot. "What's wrong?" I asked, although sadly, I was pretty sure I knew. She just let her eyes meet my mask and stared at me, silent. "You heard, didn't you?" I asked. She merely gave a nod, and I sighed. "She was wrong, you-"

"Was she really, Robin?" Raven cut in. I just stared, dumbfounded.

"What do you mean?" I replied.

"I'm different. Maybe I don't belong here. I'm part demon, and if we got together...Trigon could use it against me." she said.

"Stop it, you belong here. On Earth. With m-us." I said firmly. She just nodded, though I could verywell tell she was unconvinced. Way to go, Star. I thought sarcastically to myself.
