I'm bored...
Tears
Raven sighed as she stood on the roof, watching the sunrise. A tear slipped past her cheek and she hurried to wipe it away as the memories from the night before came back to her.
It was Slade again, Robin had lost it again and the Titans had come so close to dying...
That seemed to snap their leader back to reality and they just managed to get away because of that. And Raven's quick thinking had also helped quite a lot; the moment all Titans were together, she didn't hesitate to get them out of there.
Although they had faced many dangerous things before, they had never come this close to getting killed. And now that she finally saw that it could happen, she was afraid.
More tears slipped down her face without her even realizing it as she thought of the many ways each and everyone of her family could die in battle. She knew for a fact that she wouldn't be dying anytime soon; each time she came close her demonic side would lash out. Saving her at the last moment; but with a lot of destruction.
If all of the Titans died, she'd probably have to live with survivor's guilt. And that sucked; she remembered how it felt when Azarath was destroyed and she was still perfectly fine.
Raven didn't sob or make any type of sound, but more and more tears streamed down her cheeks as more negative thoughts slipped into her head. This was why she was so wary of the Titans at first; she didn't want to care about them, they'd die one day and although she would as well, there was a huge chance she would be the last one to.
But that plan went straight out the window the moment each of them put a lot of effort in making her feel comfortable; making sure that the social outcast was happy.
Starfire had at first suggested they go to the 'mall of shopping', but after many rejections; she gave up and suggested they start meditating in silence instead.
Cyborg was her big brother; he did everything to protect Raven and made sure she was happy all the time.
Beast Boy- although he annoyed her to death sometimes -only had the best intentions for her; he just didn't really know how to act around her. Which was kinda sad, but if she had to admit, she didn't want him to change.
And then there was Robin.
He knew her, inside and out. Even before the bond they had a connection; but after it...they were inseparable. He knew when she needed him and how to act around her, the same way she knew with him. They could just simply look at each other and they'd have spoken to each other more then they spoke to the others.
And yes, she got annoyed and sometimes even scared when he snapped and went all crazy and deadly (most of the time it was because someone hurt her) but it just showed he cared. And he had been trying to control his temper for a week now. Key word: trying.
She tensed when she heard the door to the roof open, completely forgetting the fact that she wasn't the only 'early bird.'
"Hey Rav- Are you crying?" She stood still as he rushed towards her, cursing herself for the tears. For once, Timid had been strong enough to take over.
Now she remembered why she hated it so much when the gray emoticlone did; it made her seem weak, made other people worry about her.
Raven stayed silent as Robin's eyes checked over her body; looking for any type of injury that could be the cause of her crying.
If he knew one thing; it was that he hated seeing her in tears.
His gloved hand took hold of her face; tilting her chin up gently to look at her face. "What's wrong?" He spoke, his voice tender.
She shook her head. "Nothing, just...the mission."
The half-demon watched as the Boy Wonder's expression changed from calm and soft to livid. His hand slid to her cheek while he placed his other hand on her other cheek.
"What happened? Did he hurt you?! I swear if he touched you I'll kill him." His voice was deadly calm and he was already starting to pull away from her to go hunt down and murder the man that had been tormenting even his nightmares.
He could handle the masked man driving him crazy, he had handled worse villains in Gotham and even the Joker of all people hadn't been able to snap his sanity. But the moment someone touched Raven; they were done for.
Before Robin could leave, her hands had slipped up to grab his; halting his movements.
Raven pulled his hands away from her face but didn't let go just yet as she shot him a shaky smile. "I-I'm fine, really." She assured, letting him go and surprising her leader by wrapping her arms around his neck as she hugged him. "I'm just...really glad all of you are okay."
He blinked in surprise, but hugged her back anyway.
