Chapter 5

A New Issue


(Raven's POV)

I couldn't believe how close Robin was. I was on the edge of losing control of my emotions, but I knew that I had to keep them in order. If I lost control of my emotions, who knows what could happen to me. Damn this sucks. Okay Rae, just take a few deep breaths and relax…relax.

"Ummm…Raven? Are you sure that this is a good time?" Robin asked me. I couldn't believe that I was on the verge of going in to a trance.

"Sorry. I was, I was just taking a deep breath…and I got a bit too relaxed. Sorry." I replied. How embarrassing. "So, uh, Robin, do I have the right to ask you why you are here, sitting on my bed, in my room?"


(Robin's POV)

Hmm. Robin now is the time, I told myself. "I couldn't sleep at all. I was starting to, but then Cyborg came into my room, and woke me up to play video games. I started to play, but he knows everything about the games. So really, I wasn't able to beat him, and I got frustrated. I went back to my room, and tried to sleep, but I kept hearing you and Cyborg fighting. Then I caught a second wind, and decided to come over here and have something to do. So I figured that if you couldn't sleep, than we could get to know each other a little bit better." I said.

Raven blushed, and I could see it, even if her room was lit like a dungeon. "Umm… Robin?" She asked.

"Yeah?" I said. I wondered what exactly she wanted.

"Well, I mean, don't you know almost everything about me? I mean, you saved me in the pits of Hell from my father, helped me fight Slade, who was working with my father, know that I am a portal for my father, and you know that I am the Devil's daughter himself. Isn't that enough to know about me already? I am not a very nice person once you get to know me." She said. I could tell that it took her all of her might to say that.

I chuckled to myself. "Raven. All of these things include your father. Do you have a mother, well, I mean, you know, is she alive, if so, where is she? And, I mean, come on you have to admit, these don't include you. If you don't want to, it is okay. I just wanted to get to know my teammates a little bit better."

"Well. Alright. I guess that I don't have anything better to do. So, you ask a question, and I'll answer. No lies…okay?" Raven said. She didn't smile or anything, she didn't make any facial expression. She was extremely good at that I guess. But what she did do was stand up and then she used her powers to blow out all of the candles. She then turned the lights on. Her lamps were, well, very odd looking you could say. They looked like stone gargoyles with the head pointed upward. That normally doesn't seem like a very odd lamp for some, but the weird thing about it was that the lips of the gargoyles were in a blowing position, and they actually were blowing out a black aura. It looked a lot like Raven's magical aura. But the black aura lit the whole room. It was very interesting. When Raven came back to sit down, she took her shoes and cape off, which the pendant on her cape was actually a clasp, and levitated them to her closet. She then went to the area on her bed near her pillows, and sat cross legged. Like what the little kids called criss-cross-apple-sauce.

"Please, make yourself comfortable." She said. She seemed to be a bit nervous.

"Okay." I said. I took my cape off, which all I had to do was to untie it, and unclasped the metal pieces on my shoes, took them off, and sat across from her, my legs crossed, the same way as Raven's. "So, who should go first? Do you want to go now, or should I?"

"Hmmm…I think that you should. You already know quite a bit about me, but I don't know much about you."


(Raven's POV)

This was it. Raven, you finally were going to know about him. This was a good day. Yes, a very good day, well technically speaking, night.

"Well, Batman. I want to know much about him. What is he like? I'm sure not very friendly, but…well…tell me about him." I said. I knew that Robin wasn't going to tell me much, or so I think…he might tell me.

"Well…Batman is a very interesting person to work with. Sometimes he wanted a partner, and well, other times he wanted me to just disappear. Don't get me wrong, he enjoyed having me help him in the hard times, but then, other times he said that I just got in his way. But really, once I left to come here to Jump City, I knew that he missed me. One time, I'll take you to meet him. He is a very, very intelligent man. He can solve crimes in just a few minutes. He certainly has his ways with getting the villains to tell him the information that he wants. It is amusing, but you can't smile, you have to have a straight frown. I know how can you have a straight frown? I dunno, but he certainly can do it. He is a pretty cool guy once you get to know him." Robin said. I had my filling of Batman. I got just what I wanted to know. I knew where Robin got his 'mysterious' act from. Bruce Wayne. It wasn't to hard to figure out who he was, I mean, having all of those extremely expensive weapons…you would have to be stupid to not to be able to figure it out. "Now it is my turn." Robin said.

"Ask away." I replied.

"Where do you come from? Please don't take it offensively, but I want to know." He said. I knew that question was coming.

"Well, I come from a place called Azarath…" I started


(2 hours later)

Robin and I were sitting next to each other on my bed. My legs stretched out in front of me, and he, sitting with his legs folded. Robin was telling me a story of one of his dumbest villains that he had battled.

"And then he said 'I didn't mean it Robin, it was just that the Sprite bottle said that it was free…" He and I started silently cracking up.

Robin glanced at the clock, and then looked at me smiled, then frowned, and looked at the clock. "I should better get going since it is 1 in the morning."

"Umm…Robin, I have one more question before you go…" I asked. This question was killing me. I had to ask it.

"Yah? What is it?" he asked.

"Well, I figured, since I lied to the team and told them that I was studying on the Brotherhood of Evil, and instead went clubbing, that I shouldn't give Cyborg a hard time, even though he led a villain into the tower and started to…er, you know." I giggled silently. I knew that it was hard for Robin to talk about things like that.

"Just wondering…Well…" I said as Robin and I got up and headed to the door, "…good night. See you later today."

"Bye Rae, night." He said. I gave him a peck on the cheek. He started to furiously blush. "Don't let the bed bugs bite!" I didn't know what made me do that. It just happened.

As I turned around, I was being talked to.

"Aww, Raven has a crush…how cute. I see that the task is going as planned. Just a little while Raven, a little while."


This is yet another cliffhanger! I can't help myself...they make it much easier to write!

So, what I wish to say is that I never knew how hard this chapter would be to write! I am taking a vacation starting on Friday, and ending on Monday, so I won't be able to add a chapter until a few days before New Year's!

Happy Holidays!
