Trust

She found him in his room, his back against the wall as he stared at the Slade mask in his hands.

"Come to yell at me? You were quiet when the others did," he muttered; his voice low as his masked eyes never left the object in his hands. He knew it annoyed her, but he couldn't bear to see the look on her face.

"No," her voice was monotone, as usual. "There was a reason I didn't yell at you."

"And that is?"

"I'm just as guilty as you are, with keeping secrets, that is."

His head snapped up and his eyes narrowed. "What are you talking about?"

Raven shrugged. "Just the fact that I knew you were Red X."

He blinked. "How did you..."

"I sensed you."

Robin nodded, it made sense; he just wondered why he didn't think of that.

He sighed and placed the Slade mask on the table beside him, leaning his head back against the wall after that. "Why didn't you tell on me?" His masked eyes never left her as she shrugged and turned her back on him; watching the massive board filled with information about Slade with mild interest.

"Because I trust you."

"Look how far that got you, I turned into the one thing I hated; a criminal." He growled.

She shrugged. "Maybe," Raven moved away from the board and turned to face him. "But you had good intentions, just make sure to not betray your team next time."

Robin looked away.

He could hear her light footsteps walking towards him but he didn't turn his head to face her until she was right in front of him. He looked at her; raising an eyebrow and staying silent as she gently removed his mask.

"You should know that as long as you know what you're doing; I trust you." She shot him one of her rare smiles. "You of all people should know that I don't trust people easily."

He watched as silently she looked up at him, one of her hands cupping his cheek. Both birds stared at each other; trying to figure out what the other was thinking.

Until a picture shattered and she pulled away, pulling her hood up as she turned away from him quickly. Her breathing harsh and uneven.

"Raven?" He questioned, stepping closer as worry took over.

She shook her head. "I'm fine, just...my emotions are a little...unstable at the moment." She looked up, Robin was only able to see her bright amethyst eyes because of her hood. "I should go."

The half-demon moved towards the door, hesitating at the doorstep when he called her name.

"I trust you too." He said.

Raven didn't respond or turn to face him; she silently walked out the door, a small smile on her face.
