Chapter 3 Past

Raven stared at the night sky as tears still fell, how could she do that? She just hurt Beastboy feelings and it showed on his face. "Great Raven, He's been through so much and you dump more problems on him." Raven felt a shiver go through her she wrapped her arms around herself. She saw stars glow brighter she sighed, "What I would give to be Starfire." Images flashed through her head Robin kissing Starfire and she crying in the hotel room that night. She was watching Robin holding Starfire hand and joy shining off her face. "I could have Beastboy." Raven remembered feeling used and she hated it. "I can't do that to him." "To who?" Robin emerged from the shadows; his mask was taken off. His eyes shined in the moonlight, Raven turned her head away, 'But your mask back on Rob, Starfire hasn't even seen your real eyes." Robin sat down as he slowly put his mask on. "Rae, Seriously I made my choice and I want you to see my eyes." Raven sighed; "Stop it!" Robin was didn't saying anything silence engulfed them. Raven looked up into the sky, "Have you ever wished on a star?" Robin nodded, "I did when I was a kid. But Batman said it was childish and I stopped." Raven shivered, "Batman must have been a horrible Father figure." Robin took of his cape and gave it to Raven she took but placed it beside her and didn't put it on her. "Raven he couldn't be as bad Trigon." Raven smiled, "Trigon never really was there I could do whatever I wanted." Raven closed her eyes as heard the waves as it took her off to a place and time that was so far away that held the bitterest memory in her life.

11 years ago…

"Raven!" 6 year old Raven looked up to see Dove standing before her. "Dove!" She got up and hugged him. "Dove, The guards are so mean the are hitting me!" Raven pulled back her cape to show her bruises and cuts. "I'm all right though! Dove, I was brave I didn't cry!" Dove dropped to his knees as he hugged Raven; "There is a time to cry and a time to be brave." Raven eyes went and filled with tears, Dove didn't move, as always she felt safe when he was around. Dove was her rock her base he was the one that showed her it was okay to break down and cry. She slowly stopped crying, "Dove? Will you tell them to stop?" Dove smiled, as his golden eyes sparkled, "Am I not your night in shining armor?" Raven smiled, "Like in the fairytales you get for me?" Dove nodded, "I'm also your prince charming." Raven smiled as she got up and stopped as she saw some guards behind them on had a sword drawn out. "What are you doing?" Dove stood up as he stepped in front of her. "It stops today you can't hurt her." The lead guard smiled, " What are you going to do about it?" Dove drew out his sword, 'Fight you." The other two grabbed each of Dove arms and the leader guard smiled, "You have made friends with the demon child. For this you die." Raven saw the sword go through Dove he didn't make a sound as he fell to the floor blood spilled on the floor, "STOP!" Raven eyes glowed red as she engulfed the guards in black as she ran to Dove. "Dove!" her hands glowed blue as she tried to mend his body but Dove grabbed her hand, "Don't. There is no use you have tried but it can not be healed." Tears spilled as she cried Dove sat up and hugged her, "This is the time to be brave." Raven bit her lip as she stop crying Dove laid back as he slowly closed his eyes." Raven looked at the guard; " You will pay for this with you lives. But Dove would not want that." She let them go as they left and never returned. She slowly hugged Dove as tears spilled and fell to the wound. It turned yellow and it healed, but he was dead there is nothing that could save him. Her last resort was a lost cause, as always she could never save anyone she cared about. "I'll never lose another friend again, even if it kills me I won't lose them." She ran to the window and looked at the shooting star and wished hard.

"It's seems I have lost you." Raven saw Robin face close to her she silently backed away. "If you have forgotten you have a girlfriend, and if you break her heart I'll kill you." Robin shook his head; "You will even let your heart be broken if that means your friend go through pain." Raven shrugged, "It's what I do." Robin slowly got up, "We protect the city and you protect our hearts." Raven got up; "I do my best." Robin leaned towards her ear, "You failed I lost my heart to you." Her eyes widen, "Stop it! Stop it!" Robin taken back put his hand on Raven check; "I'm not playing with your heart. I just can't stand seeing you in pain." Raven pushed him; "You'll break two people hearts if you are not careful! I can handle it but Starfire will never be able to use her powers." Robin sat down as he motioned her to sit down beside him; she did wondering why he didn't say anything. "Raven, have you ever thought why I fought so hard to try and keep you safe and even travel to the underworld and save you?" Raven looked at him, "Because I'm a good friend." Robin shook his head, "I think this will give you the answer." He leaned in and kissed her and it was a sweet innocent kiss. Raven touched her lips and looked back at Robin and blinked to make sure it was he. "I can't, I just can't Robin." She got up and ran to her room and she locked the door making sure it was locked. She sat on her bed and started to meditate. "I have to find some answer. Robin seems to know something I don't. He was holding back on that kiss and he knew something I'm going to find out." Raven soon was back in Nevermore.
