Raven's powers deposited them outside the door to her room. She landed on her feet, but something crashed into her, causing her to stumble. 'Oh great, he's unconscious, now what do I do?' she asked herself, but almost as soon as the question floated into her head, she knew the answer, even though she didn't like it at all.

She used her telekinesis to lift up Kyd Wykkyd, who was slumped on the floor, typed in the code used to unlock her door, and lay him in her bed. She pulled the soft sheets over him, hoping that he had only passed out from exhaustion, not from a reaction with her powers. She stayed there, watching over him for a moment, his calm breathing soothing her.

The gothic girl jumped as she heard the front doors open with their pneumatic hiss, indicating that her friends had returned. She walked quietly over to her door, turning at the last moment "Sweet dreams." She whispered, then thinking sadly 'Though I doubt they will stay pleasant for long'.

She stepped outside her dark room, feeling the pain of the light strike her eyes like knives. Raven walked towards her team-mates, noting that Beastboy and Starfire weren't present. 'Probably gone to bed, considering it's so late' she thought somewhat enviously, knowing that it would take a long time for her to get to sleep that night, if indeed she slept at all.

"So, wh-" Robin started to say, before Cyborg cut him off.

"Maybe we should talk about this tomorrow, I think all of us are too tired to consider what we should do with Kyd Wykkyd tonight." Raven nodded.

"Bu-" Robin tried to say, only to have Raven cut him off this time.

"Cyborg's right, I suggest we all rest, and deliberate our verdict tomorrow."

Robin just nodded, and stalked off towards his bedroom. That had been the third time in one day that they had stopped him speaking, and he was getting rather exasperated.

The moment he turned his back, Cyborg and Raven swapped identical grins. Proving what every employee in the world already knew, stepping on your boss' last nerve could be a real bonding experience.

When Cyborg had also slipped back to his room, Raven went back to her room to check on Kyd Wykkyd. Thankfully he seemed happy enough, not thrashing around or anything like that. 'Great, you're in my bed, so now I have nowhere to sleep'. Her thoughts then turned to the spare rooms, but they were on the next floor up, and she doubted she'd make it without collapsing. So, settling for the next best thing, she telekinetically lifted some spare blankets and a pillow, and stumbled over to the coach in the living room.

'Dancing…Billy…Leering…Billy…Scream…Billy…Ra-' Kyd Wykkyd sat up quickly, screaming silently, only to collapse back onto the pillows, sweat and tears mingling on his face. 'Just a dream, just a dream…Hey wait!' He sat up again, slower this time. 'This isn't my room! Or my bed! The clothes aren't even mine!' He stayed there, confused until the memories of the previous night came surging back, like a tidal wave's revenge. He whitened, turning almost ethereal in appearance, and stumbled towards the door, his eyes widening when he saw the numbers of rooms the tower had. He hated feeling lost, whether it was the 'Where in the world am I now?' lost, or the stomach twisting lost like that of a young child who has lost sight of their mother in a crowd. But this was worse; he was lost inside himself, not just within a tower. The boy stood still for a moment, deciding if he should go through the large double doors in front of him, or try and go through the others.

Taking a deep breath, which was hard for him to do, as the knot in his stomach didn't seem to be getting any smaller, he stepped over the threshold, wincing at the noisy SWISH of the door. He tentatively poked his head round, and deciding that the coast was clear, stepped into the room. He stared in awe at all of the electronic equipment, but mainly the huge television. The boy walked closer to be able to see it better, but something, had caught his attention. 'So it was Raven's room I was in, that explains, the gothic style.' He thought, looking down at the girl sleeping soundly on the sofa.

He smiled, she looked so peaceful, and he didn't particularly want to disturb her, but the couch didn't look at all comfy, and if she moved a muscle she would fall to the floor. Jinx's voice rang in his head, 'you are definitely too much of a gentleman to be in this profession'. That had been one of the last things she had said to him before she had abandoned the Hive Five for her high-speed hero, and, though he wouldn't admit it, he was glad that Kid Flash had fallen for her, because the teen hero had been the first to prove to her that she deserved better, which she most certainly did.

Kyd Wykkyd, living up to what Jinx had said to him, picked Raven gently off the sofa, as to not wake her up, and retraced his steps until he was back to her room. He lay her down on her bed just as softly as he had picked her up, and pulled the blankets over her. He smiled, walked back to the living room, trying to get to sleep on the stupidly long sofa.

Raven awoke at sunrise, as per usual, stretching almost cat-like inside the covers. 'Was it just a dream, a horrific nightmarish fantasy?' After several moments of contemplation, she swung her legs out of the queen-sized bed, yearning for a cup of herbal tea to calm her shattered nerves.

She padded softly to the kitchen, her bare feet silently trekking across the hall. The gothic angel opened the door to be met with the sight of a pale boy kicking wildly on the couch, his eyes screwed up tightly, glass tears escaping and rolling down his face. Raven rushed to the boy's side, trying her best to wake him, but not get slammed into by any of his flailing limbs.

'Sweet Azar, that was no nightmare, he really is here!' she thought, catching his arm before it connected with the side of her head.

"Kyd Wykkyd wake up, it's just a nightmare!" She said, trying not to raise her voice too high so she wouldn't wake the others. After several shoulder shakes, she got the desired effect. His eyes fluttered open, shocked at the sight that met his crimson orbs.

"Hush, it's okay, it's okay, shush…" she whispered, stroking his hair gently, succeeding in soothing the savage beast of his ghastly dream. He was wrapped in her arms, his head returning to the comforting position on her shoulder. His sobs had almost subsided, his hiccups the only remnants of his crying fit.

"Feeling better?" she asked softly, looking into his shining eyes. He nodded slightly, and then blushed at the position he was in; he was almost on her lap. "Not to be insensitive or anything, but my leg's going to sleep." She said, her blush even more noticeable due to her pale complexion. He shuffled off her, rubbing the back of his head nervously.

It was at that moment that Robin burst through the doors, evidently wondering if Kyd Wykkyd was a phantom of his imagination, just as Raven had. It wasn't often that the empathic girl was startled, and needless to say, it was also rather amusing. She jumped almost a foot in the air, wheeled around, and tripped over the game controller that Beastboy had no doubt left out. Robin tried to conceal the slight smile that made the Boy Wonder look nowhere near as intimidating as he had previously, and Kyd Wykkyd offered her a hand, helping her to her feet.

"What are you laughing at!" she yelled at Kyd Wykkyd. Indeed, the mysterious boy was in a silent fit of laughter. Behind her, Robin spluttered, he too unable to hold back the laughter that was rising in his throat. Usually laughing at Raven was an offence that usually got you sent to a different dimension or worse, but as she looked at Kyd Wykkyd's face, the corners of her mouth twitched upwards into a smile. Who knew silent giggles were contagious? She put her hands on her hips, trying to look angry, but for once in her life she found the emotion was out of her reach. After recovering his breath, the pale boy flashed her one of his dazzling smiles, and walked towards the kitchen. Her undivided attention was now on her leader, who was still trying to get his breath back.

I'm sorry," He said in-between gasps for air "but the look on your face was priceless!" Raven rolled her eyes expressively at his comment, thinking of 101 ways she could torture him.

Kyd Wykkyd returned, doing his best to balance a cup, a mug, and a glass. He handed a mug of coffee to Robin, a cup of tea to Raven and downed his glass of orange juice in one gulp.

"Waiter service hmmm, I could get used to this." Raven whispered.

Several minutes later the steel doors slid open once more, revealing a green youth in his early teens.

"Morning…" he said, attempting to stifle a yawn. His emerald eyes flickered across to the pale boy who had his head to one side. As quickly as a cheetah hunts gazelle, his features changed from sleepy to alert. His body changed form into that of a wolf's and within seconds he was upon the stranger, his four paws crushing and restraining the boy's arms and legs.

"BEASTBOY GET OFF HIM!" yelled a feminine voice from across the room. The green lion snarled at the outsider, but complied with Raven's request. He stepped off the young man and returned to his human form. The crimson-eyed boy rose shakily to his feet, trying to ignore the feeling that he had been restrained like that before, but last time his stomach was to the floor, not his back.

The gothic girl put a hand on Wykkyd's shoulder to calm him, and Robin put his on Beastboy's, to prevent him from doing something that he may regret. Beastboy saw his friend whisper something into the new boy's ear. The boy gave her a look which seemed fleetingly frightened, but then nodded. Raven relayed this gesture to their leader, at which point Robin steered him out of the room, not wishing to speak about what had happened the previous night in front of the teenagers' ashen faces.

It had taken only 15 minutes to tell Beastboy, and later, Starfire what had occurred. Naturally he left out some parts, which he deemed too terrible to be spoken to the youngest member of his team and his alien princess. After the explanation, the leader asked his teammates to help deliver the verdict on whether Kyd Wykkyd should stay or go.

Raven and Wykkyd both turned their heads as the door opened again, and the three titans entered flanked by Cyborg. The robotic man motioned for the young stranger to leave, and Raven gave him one of her rare confidence boosting smiles. The boy exited, his mind filled with doubts, closing the door behind him and proceeded to sit by the wall and wait.

It had never been his thought to eavesdrop, but he had rather exceptional hearing. What he heard made him feel more lonesome than ever. He could hear Robin listing the numerous ways that he could be a threat to the team. 'I can't burden them any longer' he thought sadly and without staying long enough to hear Raven's argument, picked himself up and summoned his powers to teleport him to a very familiar place.
