Chapter 7
The Secret
(Raven's POV)
I woke with the sound of Terra running in my room.
"Guess what? Guess what?" Terra asked. I immediately got up and I was in a battle stance. "What is it? What is the problem?"
"Hahaha! Rae, come on, lighten up! Anyways, I was talking with the other team members, and guess what? They let me be on the team! I am now an official Titan again! They actually trust me like you said that they would! Rae, what would I do without you?" With that, I calmed down, and then Terra gave me an almost-as-bone-crushing-as-Starfire-hug. I knew that the Titans were going to allow her back on the team. She had realized her mistakes, and had redeemed herself.
"I am proud of ya girl." I said, and returned the hug. "Well, I have to get ready and shower, I'll be down in a few."
"Mmm…okay!" She said, and had gone downstairs. Once I had showered, I put on a pair of faded denim jeans, a long-sleeved blue shirt, and blue flip-flops. I looked at my clock…it said that it was noon. I guess that the talk with Robin…Robin. Last night had not gone as smoothly as I would have hoped. During the whole explanation thing, Robin wouldn't even look at me.
I swiftly and quickly walked down to the kitchen. I saw that Robin, Starfire, Beastboy, and Terra had all left. All I saw was Cyborg sitting at the kitchen table. "Morning Raven."
"Morning Cy. Ummm…where is everyone?" I asked. I had a feeling where they all were.
"Okay, but you have to promise that you won't get all mad okay?" Cyborg had told me. "I promise Cy. Where is everyone?" "Well, Terra got tired of waiting for you to finish your shower, so when Beastboy asked her out on a date to the mall, she told me to tell you to have a nice peaceful day and thank you. Beastboy said that he doubles that thanks, and that he wishes you a happy and peaceful day too."
"Okay" I said. "But where are Robin and Starfire?"
"Robin asked Star if she would like to go to the movies and go and see the new movie that just came out and that she had been wanting to see…I believe that they were going to go out and see 'Love and Pain 2' which, I guess that it is some love and sappy romance musical movie. Star told you that she wishes you and me to enjoy ourselves with the book and the game of videos."
"And what did Robin say?" I asked. Cyborg's reply wasn't what I wanted it to be. "He just smiled and left."
Cyborg sounded really depressed today. This wasn't how he normally was. He normally was always happy, and today it sounded as if his best friend had just died. "Okay Cyborg, you can't hide this from me forever. You must have forgotten that I can sense emotions. What happened between you and Jinx?"
"Damn Rae. That kinda scares me when you do that." He gave a half-hearted chuckle. "Wait! Before you tell me anything, you need to have some of this. It makes you feel better." I handed Cyborg some hot herbal tea. "It always makes me feel better, and I know that it will for you too.""Well, you see, you know how Jinx and I sorta had a thing going, as you should know…well... she told me that she thought that our relationship would only last as friends, and not anything more. So she now goes out with Kid Flash, which, don't get me wrong, I am very happy for the both of them, but then Bumblebee had told me that she had a confession to make, and that she really liked me, and I like her too, but I dunno, I mean, will our relationship last very long, or will it just fizzle out like my last one?"
After telling me what was wrong, Cyborg decided to drink the herbal tea. "Well, Cyborg. My advice it this; if you don't do what your heart tells you, then you won't ever be happy."
"Look who's talking little Miss independent." Cyborg said with a laugh. I could tell that he was feeling much better. I took a sip of my tea, and I replied, "And what is that supposed to mean?"
"Well, look, the others don't know it, but girl, I do. I know how bad you have it for Robin. It isn't even funny, how much you love that boy. What I want to know is how come you haven't gone out with him yet? I mean, come on, it is so obvious." Cyborg said. Cyborg is just so reliable. Whenever you aren't feeling well, he will make you feel all better.
"You have to keep it a secret! Promise?" I said. Cyborg is like a big brother to me. No, he is a big brother to all of us Titans. "I promise little lady." He said with a big grin. "You know, you can tell me everything. I'll keep it all to myself and to no one else." "Okay Cyborg. I won't ever get to go out with Robin because he and Starfire are like the most perfect couple of all. She is so pretty and has a big huge bust, a perfect stomach, long, lean legs, and Cyborg, I can't compete with her. You know that almost all guys here in Jump City like Starfire. They just run away from me because I am like a scary…a scary freak. I am a creepy, scary, weird freak. Like that is appealing to anyone. Anyone being Robin. But like this is important to you Cyborg. I must sound like a sappy, depressed lovesick teenager."
"Cut that out Raven." Cyborg said in a very stern voice that I hardly ever hear him use. "You are very pretty. And you know what? Who cares if you don't have a gigantic bust like Star? Who cares if you are, more quote un-quote weird? You are a very special person with a very special personality, and a very special power. And I am sure that many guys like you, you just are too naive to see it." He said in a huge grin. "Now, go get dressed and come back here to meet me in twenty minutes, understand?"
"Sure." I said. I wonder where Cyborg was going to take me. I quickly put my empty cup of tea in the sink, as did Cyborg. I went up to my room and put on a black tank top and a pair of black Dickies. I took off my blue flip-flops, only to replace them with a pair of black flip-flops. Then I put on some mascara and a thin, but dark, line of eyeliner on.
When I went back to the kitchen, Cyborg had gotten dressed up into a huge black sweatshirt, also wearing a pair of men's black Dickies, and a pair of black DC shoes. "Ready to go Rae?"
"Go where Cyborg?" I asked. "You'll see." Was his reply.
The both of us went into Cyborg's car, and drove near the theater that Starfire and Robin were in.
"Well, Raven, how do ya like this place?" Cyborg had brought us to a brand new gothic-punk style bookstore. I went around without answering him, and looked at all of the spell books and horror books that I loved. "Wonderful Cyborg. Really and truly wonderful. How did you know about this place?" I asked.
"Well, it really isn't that hard to tell when you are depressed, so I figured that I was going to look for a new place for the both of us to come and get a few books, and then we could go to the coffee shop that you enjoy." Cyborg said. "You mean to tell me that you did this all for me?" I couldn't believe that Cyborg would go to such an extent to make me happy. "Sure did, and I can tell that this is the remedy that you needed."
Cyborg and I bought some books, and went to the café directly across the theater from where Robin and Star were. "Ma'am, may I get you something to drink?" The waiter asked once that he had gotten us seated at a black bench and black table. "Um, sure. I'll have a chocolate cappuccino with some milk and extra whipped cream." That was my favorite coffee drink besides the Carmel Frappacino from Starbucks. "Make that two please." Cyborg wasn't really the type of person who drank coffee, but I could tell that he would enjoy what he had ordered. "Right away."
"Oh Robin, didn't you enjoy that movie? I thought that it was glorious!" I heard Starfire. "It certainly was, er, interesting Starfire. I am glad that you liked it." There was Robin's voice.
"Oh I know! Why don't we go into that shop of coffee?" Starfire had asked Robin. "Sure, why not? I like the double-shot coffee that they sell, and I am sure that you will like it too." Robin said in return. I didn't want them to come over here to the café. Hopefully they wouldn't see us.
"Um, Cyborg, shouldn't we leave? I mean, you know, I don't want to ruin their date." I said. Cyborg wasn't going to fall for that lame-ass excuse. "No, trust me, they won't bother us, and neither will we bother them." "Okay, you win Cyborg." "Good, now Raven, why don't you tell me a little about that spell book you bought."
"Well, it is an Azarathian spell book, meaning that is comes from where I was born, Azarath. You see, regular people just believe that it is all mumbo jumbo, but I can actually perform these spells, and some of them can be used to help bring those who are about to die, right back into perfect health. I was planning on using them for those who get injured while we battle. I want to do some good in this world, and you know that it is kinda hard for me to do that being who and what I really am.
"Hmm…interesti…" Cyborg was cut off by the waiter. "You coffee madam and sir." "Well Raven, I hope that you perfect these spells, because the both of us know that they could help those in grave danger." Cyborg took a sip of his cappuccino. "I feel buzzed up from just a few sips of this stuff! It seems as if it is spiked! Raven, is it? I mean, I can't sense any alcohol in it…"
"No Cyborg," I said with a chuckle. I could really tell that Cyborg was not used to drinking coffee because he was acting kind of drunk. "It isn't spiked, I'm not allowed to drink, remember? You just aren't used to all of the caffeine." "No kidding." He said. I could sense that we were being watched, but I wasn't sure who we were being watched by, Robin or Starfire. "Whoa! Cyborg what did I tell you about doing that?" Cyborg had drunk all of his coffee. He then picked me up and put me on the shoulder. "Get your drink and let's go!" "Madam that will be twelve dollars and fifty cents!" The waiter said. Cyborg was starting to run away. I used my powers and gave the waiter a twenty dollar bill. "Keep the change as a tip!" I knew that Cyborg wasn't really that hyper off of the coffee, he was just trying to cheer me up. He certainly was doing a good job. I looked back at the waiter, but instead I saw Starfire looking confused, and Robin trying not to laugh.
I started to crack up, I couldn't help it. Even though I know that I have to keep my powers under control, Cyborg was acting like a horse and saying "Giddy-up, Giddy-up!" That is the one thing about Cyborg that I love. He is always there to make you laugh. But then, it happened. I was having a great time, when I lost control. I lost control of my emotions, which made me lose control of my powers. Instantly, just a few feet away from the café, my powers enclosed a building and made it crack, causing it to fall to the ground. Robin and Starfire ran to help us, but I couldn't help it. I had just hurt a couple hundred people over my selfish needs. I teleported myself back to the tower, and as I was doing so, I heard Cyborg call Terra and Beastboy, and Robin yelled out my name.
I wrapped my cape around myself, and started to silently cry. I had just ruined my day, and the others' day too.
(Robin's POV)
"Cyborg, Starfire, can you handle things until Terra and Beastboy come? I need to go get Raven!" I asked. This wasn't a pretty situation.
"Yea, we can! Go help her!" Cyborg replied. I could tell that he thought this was his entire fault from the tone of his voice.
I hopped on my motorcycle, and I went to the tower as fast as possible. When I got there, everything was all the same, except for two tea cups in the sink. I went as quickly as possible to the security cameras, and I watched what had happened, so I would know how this all had started. I was glad that Cyborg took Raven to a place, but I needed to see why he did, because he said that he had planned on staying at home today.
I went to a part with Cyborg saying, "Well, look, the others don't know it, but girl, I do. I know how bad you have it for Robin. It isn't even funny, how much you love that boy."
I paused the tape. Raven liked me? But I thought that she liked Aqualad. I then quickly fast-forwarded the tape to when Raven was talking. She was saying, "You have to keep it a secret! Promise?" Then Cyborg was talking, and then Raven continued to say, "Okay Cyborg. I won't ever get to go out with Robin because he and Starfire are like the most perfect couple of all. She is so pretty and has a big huge bust, a perfect stomach, long, lean legs, and Cyborg, I can't compete with her."
I turned the tape off. Raven was depressed because she thought that I liked Starfire. I just can't believe that Raven actually likes me. It was weird because she never acted or showed any emotions that she liked me. Now I understand what Cyborg was doing.
I ran up to Raven's room to see her crying. "W-What a-are y-you d-doing h-here?" She said through her quick, short breaths. I walked up to her, put both of my hands a little bit below her shoulders, and I kissed her.
Okay, I am sooooooooooooooooooo sorry for the delay! My friend and I got into an argument, and she told me that she thought that I was really bad at writing stories, and she knew that she couldn't write, but at least she didn't post it on the internet. That is what got me into being down and not being able to write anything! Thankfully I am into a really good writing groove, and I feel ready to start writing, so please expect a chapter to come out soon!
Please review!
