From last chapter:
Robin approached the door carefully. This is silly. Cut it out man! She's your teammate and you're her leader. Why are you so afraid of her? He scolded himself mentally and knocked on the door. Slowly, the metal door opened by a crack……
"Yes?" a monotone voice said, "Oh it's you. If you want to try convincing me to stay, save it. See you." The door slipped closed but Robin stopped it by jamming his hand between.
"Rae I just want to know why you are leaving. I deserve to know. Please." Robin said pleadingly.
"Fine. Come in."
The door closed soundlessly behind him. Raven gestured for him to sit.
"Alright. As you know, Azarath was destroyed by Trigon before he tried to take over earth. Many people died, but there were survivors. The high priestess of Azarath survived as well, along with a hundred odd people. They intend to rebuild their home, and I want to help them. That's why I'm leaving."
"A noble thought." Robin mused, "But I assume you're doing this because of your mother."
Raven away from him. She feared that if she spoke, she would cry. "My mother is dead. I believe that if she is still alive, she would have wanted me to do this. I never got the chanced to take care of her. This is the least I can do."
"Sorry." Robin apologized. "Raven, I believe that your mother would have wanted you to do what you wanted to. You want to protect the city, right? You want to stay don't you?"
"Leave, Robin. Please. I want to be alone. NOW."
Robin looked sadly at her. Had his words hurt her? All of a sudden he pushed her onto her bed and kissed her hard on the lips. Wrapping his arms tightly around her, he kissed her until they were both panting hard. Then Raven pushed him away. They stared at each other, speechless. Then Raven narrowed her eyes.
"Robin. I want you out. Now. And. I. Mean. It" she threatened.
Robin staggered out, still dazed. Wow, he thought. She is sooo hot. She may hate him now, but that kiss would satisfy him for now. Still dizzy, he took out a notebook. He has one week. One week to convince Raven to stay. Picking up a pencil, he jotted down: Day 1. take Raven on a date. Watch a horror movie; buy her a book on sad poems. Treat her to Chinese food.
Robin looked at his list and smiled. All was not lost after all. Now to ask her out……
