Soon…
The alarm rang throughout the tower waking everyone from their mental slumber, including Robin and Raven. Raven quickly pulled away from Robin.
"Raven, I …"
"Don't, we need to go now." She stated as she phased to her room to change.
Robin stood there contemplating what just had happened. He had let his hormones get the best of him and knew that he had made a huge mistake. He ran his hand through his hair.
'Was it a mistake trying to tell her that I loved her? Have I ruined what we have by what I did?
He closed his eyes and saw her in his mind, 'Robin I can't…', he shook his head. I'm an Idiot and by the way she left she wasn't happy about what had happened. He would have to avoid her for awhile until this cooled off.
"Robin, are you ready to go?"
Robin looked up to see Starfire at the door.
"Yeah, let's go."

Raven had appeared in her room. Robin had almost kissed her, her of all people. Of course she knew she wasn't bad looking but she had always thought Robin and Starfire were a couple. She shook her head trying to clear her thoughts. As she dressed she began to think back to the 'incident' with a smile. Maybe boy wonder did feel something for her besides friendship. What should she do? She could tell Robin she felt the same way about him. What would the team say? Maybe they would accept and they could be a couple…
'No, were teammates and friends, it was just…' She began to tell herself but stopped when she heard the knock on the door.
"Raven, its Cy… we got to go."
Raven finished putting on her uniform. She'll have to think about this in a later time.

Raven woke up looking at the ceiling. She was definitely not in her room. She got up and could feel the anxiety in the tower. She looked around but was alone in the room. Cyborg walked in checking his reading.
"Raven, you're up! How are you feeling?" sounding as casual as he could be.
Raven felt otherwise. An aura of worry and anxiety could be felt coming from him.
"What's wrong Cy?" she asked with a glare that demanded an answer.
"Nothing, nothing is wrong, he began to respond but could see that he wasn't getting anywhere.
He caved in knowing that he couldn't lie to Raven even if he wanted to, "its Robin… he's been badly injured."
The images from the night before filled her mind. Slade had attacked and an uninvited guest had come by, Red X. She grabbed her head. Pain. It stopped when stopped trying to remember.
"What's wrong with him Cy?" she asked as she rubbed her temples.
"He got banged up pretty good. First Slade and then Red X, he's lucky to have survived. Don't worry though; it's nothing that you can't help heal."
Cyborg helped her stand and led her to Robin. He was in the intensive care unit. Raven almost broke down. It hurt to see him so… so helpless.
"Raven can you do anything to help him?"
"Yes, but it's going to take a while."
She walked to Robin and began to focus her healing powers to Robin. It was working as they could see vast improvements to Robin's injuries.
"There most of the major injuries should be healed."
Cyborg checked to make sure. Sure enough they were.
"He should be waking up soon, right."
"Yes, but I sense that something might be wrong."

Robin was in darkness. He felt uneasy at the thought that he couldn't see his opponent, but he knew they were out there.
"Show yourself!" No answer. He could feel them though. He reached for his Bo staff. It wasn't there. Neither was his belt.
'Guess I have to face them with no weapons. Alright, no problem.'
"Come out and fight me!"
Still no answer, only silence followed until he heard laughter. He turned to see the Joker.
"What's wrong bird brain, no Batman to save you now is there?"
"I don't need him to fight you!" He screamed as he lunged at him. Nothing, the Joker was gone.
"Why Robin your more helpless than you think."
He turned to see Slade attack. After taking a couple of blows Slade disappeared. Robin was gasping for air. What was happening?
"Hey bird shit!"
Robin saw Red X coming at him. Red X landed all his blows and sent Robin flying back. Robin cringed, a couple of his ribs were broken and his left shoulder was dislocated. He was helpless as all three appeared at the same time.
"Robin you so disappoint me, I thought of you being stronger"
"Shut up Slade!"
Robin tried to stand but was hit in the legs by a couple of Red X's shuriken. He was on his knees.
"Bird brain? Stronger? Ha! He's nothing without Batman. He couldn't even save his parents now could he?"
Robin turned to the Joker, "You Son of a –"
"Bird shit here couldn't stop a common thief even if his life depended on it… like right now." Red X threw a couple of more Shuriken at him. Robin tried to block them but was hit all over his chest and right arm.
'Why, why can't I do anything? I can't die! I can't! I won't! I… don't… want to die.'
"You won't, I'm here to help."
Robin turned to see Raven. She was floating dressed in white. As if an angel had appeared.
"Azarath Menthrion Zinthos" she chanted as the darkness became light with a bright flash. The three villains disappeared at once. The bright light dimmed to reveal Raven holding Robin. Robin was leaning on her for support.
"Raven… Thank you."
"That's what I'm here for, to help you with whatever you need."
Robin closed his eyes and rested his head on her as he was comforted.
"Raven… I love you. Please, please don't leave!"
Raven was taken back by it. She smiled as she caressed his face and replied, "I'm not going anywhere Boy Wonder."
Robin closed his eyes, Raven was here and it soothed him. He could be here forever, just in her arms.
Robin woke up and was filled with a little disappointment. It had been a dream, all of it. He looked around and saw Cyborg and Raven next to his bed.
"Did I miss something?" Robin asked as he tried to get up.
"No! Don't stand up Raven hasn't fully healed you yet."
Robin looked at her. She was trying to avoid his gaze but was having trouble standing.
"Raven… you okay?"
Raven sat down and began to groan. Cyborg went to her and checked her with his scanners.
"Raven your running a fever. How did I…" Cyborg stop talking realizing he never checked her before bringing her to help Robin, "Alright that's it let's take you to your room."
Raven looked at Cyborg with a look that said, 'I'm fine' but Cyborg didn't budge.
Starfire and Beast Boy walked in both in bandages.
"Star… B.B… both of you take Raven to her Room and make sure she gets there to rest."
Starfire looked at her and then to Robin.
"Glorious! Robin is finally okay!" she began to move towards Robin but was stopped by Cyborg, "Not now Star, he still needs to rest and you have to make sure Raven gets her rest."
"Cy, really I'm fine I can heal the rest of the wounds and then rest. Besides, I want to talk to Robin for a bit."
"Sorry Rae but that's not going to happen. You need to rest and Robin can talk to you later," he told her as he looked back at Robin for his approval, "just leave things here to me."
Raven looked at Cyborg's worried look and accepted. She began to head for her room.
"Raven," Robin called, "I'll talk to you soon, okay?"
Raven turned and gave him a weak smile. Robin returned it. He hoped to talk to her about everything.
'Soon…'
