Hey guys...long time no see huh? I'm sorry about that, life has been very screwed up for me and I'm trying to get back in the swing of things. this isn't a very long chapter but the next one will be better I promise.
Raven's P.O.V
I could tell that Robin had a rough night when I was the first one up, he was usually the one who got up at 5:30 am and started his day, but it was about 8:00 when I had gotten to the living room even a little late for me. It felt so weird when I first one up. I shrugged and went over to the tea maker and started so tea for myself, after getting the tea I sat on the couch and become part of the book I was reading, my eyes moving almost on their own, following the symbols on the old pages. Somehow while doing this I did not notice Beast Boy and Cyborg enter the room, but I did notice when they started making food. Beast Boy was Making some tofu for himself while Cyborg was making waffles for everyone. The Team had tried letting me cook a few times after the incident with my father but after getting Beast boy sick when I tried making him his tofu hotdog, I stopped trying. Slowly I got to my feet and walked over to the counter.
"Hey, Raven. How many waffles would you like?" Cyborg asked without looking up from the waffle maker. I thought for a moment before answering.
"Just two please, have you guys seen Robin today?". Beast Boy seemed to stiffen and very slowly he looked up and meet my eyes.
" He wasn't feeling good." Beast Boy stated before returning to his food.
What did that mean? Was Beast Boy hiding something? Before I could open my mouth Cyborg beat me to it.
"What do you mean BB? Yeah, last night he was in a mood but he looked to be in good health... Other than the knife wound." After he had spoken Starfire enter the room, zooming through the air and land on the stool next to me.
"Hello friends that are the best, Tell me are we having the square like pancakes?" she Inquired with her eyes sparkling as they watched Cyborg as he looked over the waffle iron. " Oh, hooray we are!" She had the biggest smile on her face and she got up and flew the Refrigerator. Not hesitating to grab mustard. While she was doing this Beast Boy had opened his mouth.
"I checked him last night it seemed like Rob didn't want to be bothered." at this statement Starfire perked up and looked at Beast boy.
"What do you mean? Is he ill? What if he needs the help?" she started rumbling before she shouted, "I must go see him." With that, she flew down the hall.
"Wait!" Beast Boy yelled after her, then started running after her. Cyborg and I looked at each other before doing the same. Beast Boy was definitely hiding something.
As we got to Robins Room we saw Starfire knocking on the door as fast as she could. While Beast boy had a hold of her other arm and was trying to put her back.
"Friend Robin why do you not come out? Is something the wrong? Please do the talking to us!" Starfire was starting to panic as she let her imagination run wild. The door switch open and there stood the boy wonder confusion and annoys was clear on his face.
"Star stop, I'm fine." Robin reassured. " I just had a bad night that's all." He continued as he pushed past us and started down the hall towards the training room. After reaching the room he opened the door and walked in without sparing us a glance.
"He's not okay." I despawned. We all stared down the hall, the gears turning in our heads. Should I talk to him? I mean we have a bond, I know everything about him and vice versa, so logically I would be the best person to speak to him, he would possibly be more open to talk about what's going on with me. I looked over at Starfire. I knew she cared very deeply for Robin but she wasn't understanding when it came to him, he was a very different person compared to star, he likes to keep his distance which I of all people could sympathize with very well with. It didn't mean he didn't care any less about the team he just couldn't handle being around lots of people all the time. While star is usually all about hanging out with someone every second of the day, I would know because star's first pick would most likely be me.I knew what I had to do but the others had to back off for a little while.
"I will talk to him, you guys go into the living room until we are done." I insisted I turned and walked down the hall.
"Hey, why should you get to do it?" I heard Cyborg's question.
"We have a bond." was my short answer, I refocused on the task at hand. I reached the door and pressed the button to make it open. Inside the room was Robin he had started training by attacking the punching bag. I watched for a few seconds. sidekick, high punch sidekick again, spinning side kick to mix it up. One thing I had always wondered why Robin chose to become a hero, not that he wasn't good at it, he was. He was very determined on his work and it always seemed like he was driven to complete an unknown goal to the rest of us. Even though he had no powers, that would give him a huge advantage in a fight but he also was a teenager, sometimes people forgot that he was making more life or death decisions in a day than most people would ever make in their life. He had so much stress on him and it showed. Yet through all of that, he was able to lead us, protect us and guide us. Yeah sometimes he went batshit crazy but that was through no fault of his.
"Robin."
The Boy wonder stopped panting a bit and turned towards me, even though I couldn't see his emotions due to the mask I could sense them, The inner turmoil he had. the very confused, painful emotions going through him.
"Hey, Rae." He said quietly.
"I would ask if you are Okay but I'm pretty sure I know the answer to that one," I said trying to lighten the mood. He let a small chuckle out.
"I'm fine Rae, really...its nothing I can't handle". He wouldn't meet my eyes.
I opened my mouth to say something a loud jarring sound echoed throughout the room.
"Trouble," Robin said before running out the door.
"Damn," I muttered to myself in the now empty room
