Chapter 2
"Ugh my head," complained Raven, "Wha? What happened?
Raven turned her head to look around, resulting in more pain. She saw the unconscious forms of her team mates lying on the ground unmoving. Using all of her strength, Raven pushed herself up from the ground trying to get her bearings right. Wobbling, unsteadily on her legs, Raven walked slowly toward Robin. She knew that she needed to get the rest home but would powerless, because Raven wasn't in full focus of her powers.
Raven knelt besides the Boy Wonder and gently started to shake him awake. Robin mumbled something inaudible, but continued to remain asleep. Raven wasn't in the mood to be patient, so she brought her face to Robin's ear and screamed at the top of her lungs, "ROBINNNNNNNNNNNN!"
"AAAGGGHHH! Raven stop!" yelled Robin as he recovered from his ear drum bursting.
"Meh" mumbled Raven as she went to see if the others were awake.
Robin sat shaking his head violently, trying to rid himself of the constant ringing in his ear.
"Robin?" Raven asked quietly.
"Yeah?" replied Robin, the ringing had subsided but had left him with a very painful head ache.
"We need to get the others back to the Tower," continued Raven.
"Ugh… right," said Robin finally realising he was not alone.
"You get Starfire and I'll get Beast Boy, then we'll get Cyborg after."
Raven complied by walking over to Starfire a lifting her bridal style and placing her in the back seat of the T-car. Robin retrieved Beast Boy and deposited him next to Starfire in the car. Next was Cyborg. Who was very heavy, but with the combined effort of Robin and Raven they managed to move him into the front seat of the T-car.
"I'll drive," stated Raven, "I'm not touching that death trap you call a motorbike."
"Fine," Robin answered, "Meet you back at the Tower then."
Before Robin started the engine of the R-cycle Raven spoke again, "Ugh Robin?"
"Yes?" he inquired.
"Sorry about your ear," Raven said blushing.
Robin was caught off guard by this Raven was apologising to him and blushing!
Robin decided not to make it into anything and told Raven, "It's okay."
Before hopping onto his bike and zooming off.
Raven took the driver seat in the T-car and zoomed after the red, yellow and green blur that was Robin.
Reaching the Tower Robin and Raven returned each of their team mates to their respective rooms. Raven went back to the kitchen for some herbal tea, putting the kettle onto boil she grabbed a stool and waited.
Robin made his way to the kitchen as well; his head ache was killing him!
The metal doors "whooshed" open revealing Robin, he nodded to Raven and went in search of the painkillers, after getting frustrated with opening every cupboard and not finding anything, Raven held out her hand and quizzed, "Looking for these?"
Robin looked down and gratefully took the painkillers from Raven and tossed a couple into his mouth which they immediately relieved him from his head ache.
The kettle whistled signalling that the water was ready; Raven started preparing her tea when she felt a pair of masked eyes watch her.
"Would you like some tea?" Raven inquired without looking at Robin.
"Sure why not," was his answer Raven smiled a small smile Robin always wanted to try new things with her.
Raven handed a steaming cup of green tea to Robin and seated herself with her own. Robin drank deeply from the cup enjoying the warm fluid sliding down his throat relaxing all of muscles as well. Raven drank from her own cup, feeling her mind clear.
The two birds sat drinking their tea in silence until the question that was running between them became vocal.
"Who is Chameleon?"
"He's a new villain that we've never faced before, he is very cunning and knows how to use his power to his advantage," uttered Raven.
"We need to track him down before he attacks again," Robin murmured, his brow knitting in concentration.
"But we need to rest first, then help others," Raven told him as she took his cup and placed it in the sink.
Robin was about to protest when he was cut off by Raven,
"If we're half asleep we won't help anyone."
Robin gave up he knew that Raven had won and walked her back to her room.
Raven was about to disappear into the mysterious sanctuary, when she was stopped bye a hand on her shoulder.
"Thank you for the tea Raven," Robin whispered, his hot breath tickled Raven's ear and sent a shiver down her spine, with that he left to his own sanctuary.
"Your welcome," Raven whispered back, then disappeared into her room for some well needed sleep.
Unknown to Robin and Raven that a stealthy figure was watching them, from the shadows waiting until they fell asleep to initiate his plan.
Sleep had claimed Raven easily leaving her in a very deep sleep, oblivious to anything around her. Robin on the other hand was tossing and turning, not able to rest as much as he wanted it. His brain was still thing about Chameleon and how he had defeated each Titan. "Tomorrow we train, hard!" thought Robin. Trying to thing of something else his thought wandered to a certain resident dark girl.
Robin had been going out with Starfire for a couple of months, but Robin found he also had feelings for Raven: her sarcastic remarks the small smiles. She was really the only one he could talk to and vice versa. Shaking his head, why was his life so confusing!
Robin decided to get a glass of water hoping that would help him sleep.
The figure was carefully opening the door the lead to Raven's room, he was almost in. the figure heard footsteps and mumbling coming towards him! The figure closed the door and hid in the shadows.
Hearing a "whoosh" of a door either opening or closing Robin looked up, the only other person on this floor was Raven. Deciding to check on her, Robin pressed the access number to her room. The steel door opened smoothly allowing him to advance into the dark room. Strangely enough Robin felt comfortable in Raven's room; it didn't seem creepy like Beast Boy had said. Making his way silently over to Raven's bed, where she slept soundly the only sound was her deep breaths. Robin looked down at Raven she looked so peaceful.
Raven stirred and Robin froze, if she woke up to find him in here he'd be six feet under, but Raven moved into a more comfortable position. Robin let out a breath he hadn't realised he was holding. Robin decided she was okay went to go out, but as he moved away Raven mutter, "Robin?" again freezing, he turned around expecting a raging Raven there, but to Robin's surprise there wasn't! Raven was still asleep but was mumbling something.
Going against his better judgement Robin sat on the edge of Raven's bed.
The invisible figure cursed and stalked off to the next part of his plan.
Robin listened closely to Raven's mumbling deciphering them, "Robin don't go, don't leave me I need you." Was the message Robin got. Still sleeping Raven started to cry in her sleep. Robin was shocked beyond disbelief; did this mean Raven liked him? Sliding over to Raven, Robin laid beside her and wrapped an arm around her waist protectively. Raven's cries silenced and she curled up to his body laying her head on his chest. Robin didn't care what Raven did to him in the morning, he was not going to leave her, with that Robin pulled the quilt over himself, careful not to wake Raven and fell asleep with his head on top of hers.
"Finally," thought the figure as he went into the other three Titans rooms and extracted them one by one, then quickly leaving not to disturb the love birds.
Raven woke up feeling very comfortable and warm, not thinking she snuggled up to the warmth that was the sleeping form of Robin, but then the warmth beside moved! Raven stopped dead, thinking to scream and alert everyone in the Tower or to obliterate the person in her bed. The person moved again but turned his face toward her. "Robin?" she said confused.
Robin hearing his name opened his eyes, staring into violet orbs. He started and fell out of bed taking Raven with him. Robin landed on his back with Raven on top of him, at the same time Raven and Robin their eyes to look at what position they were in. Blushing Raven got off of Robin to his disappointment, she held out her hand Robin took it and pulled himself up.
Looking at Raven's sleeping attire Robin blushed scarlet, she was wearing a silk tank top and shorts, Raven also blushed deeper as she realised what clothes she was in and changed the subject.
"Robin," Raven said softly, "What were you doing in my room?"
"I …I was checking up on you," was the response.
"In my bed?" investigated Raven, folding her arms.
"You were having a nightmare," Robin countered, "I calmed you down but I fell asleep."
"Thank you," Raven replied.
"It's okay Raven, really," Robin said drawing her into a hug.
Raven stiffened then relaxed and returned the hug. After a moment Raven pulled away and asked, "Is it quiet or is it just me?"
Robin listened for a second, it was unusually quiet.
"Let's check up on them," ordered Robin walking out of Raven's room, Raven appeared at his side with her cloak around her petit frame.
They checked all the rooms growing worried after each room.
"Beast Boy?" Raven called.
"Starfire?"
"Cyborg?"
Now running Robin and Raven ran into the living room seeing a note on the coffee table.
"NOOO!" shouted Robin and Raven in unison.
