(A/N) Elissar, I would recommend you start taking your medication. ;-) Jin Flows, yep, I believe Raven is the strongest. I use as my premise the smack down she laid on Slade in The Prophecy. He tries to leave and she absolutely thrashes him. Yes, Starfire is much, MUCH stronger. So's Cyborg, but it doesn't matter if they can't hit her, which many villains have failed in. I point to her force fields for this, in The End Pt. 1 we again see her strength as the other four Titans combined can't break through. In my mind, she's the most powerful; she's just afraid of her own power and therefore doesn't just open the throttle the whole way. Too much fear of losing control. Remove that fear and she's hands down most powerful.

The Annotated Raven – December 25th
--------------------------------------------------------
8:30 p.m.
I've never been more confused in my whole life. I have no idea what's going on between Beast Boy and me. We did a name swap for Christmas, I got Starfire, and he got me. I'd almost forgotten we'd done that. We picked names some time around the beginning of October. I just bought Starfire gift cards for her favorite stores in the mall and a card that said I'd go with her to spend them. She liked that I was going with her best…I second-guessed that so many times, I really don't like the mall.
Anyway, Beast Boy got me two presents. The first one was a pair of crystal raven bookends. They're a good size and weight, so they'll actually do their job; I was glad that they weren't just for decoration. I had to leave the room so that I didn't break down in front of everyone with the second present.
Just by the feel of it I could tell it was a picture in a frame. I thought it would be some shot of all the Titans or of just Beast Boy and me, but it was of my mother. Beast Boy said he found it with a lot of help. It's only an old driver's license photo enlarged, but it's the only photo I have of her.
He came to my room after I ran out. I just grabbed him in a hug when I saw him. I must have said thank you a hundred times. After I let go he just smiled and said I'd forgotten the card that goes with it. He left after he handed it to me, saying that he'd leave so I could look at the photo some more.
I opened the card and he wrote how the presents were for the best friend he's ever had. That card is why I'm so confused. How can he keep saying the things he says and then call me a friend? I'm not as clueless as I used to be, those are things that get said when you're flirting or dating or just to be romantic. What's going on? Is he still clueless…even about himself?
His presents were perfect, why'd he have to spoil it with what he wrote in that card?

(A/N) That guy who wrote me the flame for a reviewer wrote back. He apologized, apparently he was acting on emotion because his friend was flamed pretty harshly for being a RobxRae fan and her self-esteem was pretty hurt because of it. I really don't understand the point in flaming because of a person's pairing preference. I have my preference, they have theirs, it's like politics. We're allowed to differ in opinion, respect that. Anyway, please don't flame anybody because of pairings…except me.
