Chapter 7 up! This may seem as if it is a Robstar chapter, but I just couldn't help it. I needed the moment of them kissing to drag memories from Raven's mind and bring them on the surface again. Hope you like it!
I DO NOT OWN TEEN TITANS!

Raven lied hurt on the dirt. She felt tired and couldn't open her eyes. She knew another Titan was dead, and she knew it was her fault. But she wasn't willing to open her eyes, stand and face reality.
Robin and Starfire gave her mo wrong; they believed when Slade made her fall, he also weakened her somehow. They were sitting next to Cyborg's damaged robot body, lost in their own thoughts. In the end, Robin sat on his knees, and he began t dig a hole next to where they have buried BB just half an hour ago.
"What are you doing Robin?" Raven heard Starfire asking
"Don't ask. Could you gimme a hand here, baby?" Robin responded
"Sure. What do you want me to do?"
"Help me dig a big hole"
"How big?"
"Big enough so Cyborg can be buried into it." Robin said.
Starfire flew to his side and helped him remove the dirt. When they finished, they lifted Cyborg's body from where it lied and put it in. Then they pulled the dirt back on and said a few words for the lost Titan. They bring Raven back to her senses. But she was already fully awoken and she was crying. She felt hurt.
"Raven what's wrong?"
"Did this psycho injure you, Raven?" Starfire took off Raven's cloak to see if she was alright.
"No…I am ok….But…" Raven said and she tried to stand up, but some dizziness hit her like lightning and made her fell on her knees again. "Uh…My head…" she murmured.
And then fainted.
"Maybe we should take her inside and put her to sleep." Robin said. He took Raven in his hands, lifted her in his embrace and headed to the Tower. Starfire took her cloak and followed Robin inside. They entered the Tower and closed the door behind them. Each door they were going through, Robin activated the shield behind their backs. They reached the common room, and then headed to Raven's room. They put her in her bed, covered her with her blanket. And then they went out of the room.
"What are we going to do, Robin? It seems Slade is once again after Raven…But why? What's so special about her? And what about this...antidote he referred to?" Starfire's face was a big questionnaire.
"Uh…I wish I knew, baby. But I will not try to find out. The last time I did it, the last time I tried to find out why Slade was after one Titan, this Titan ended up Trigon's portal to Earth. I am not willing to have to face the same problem again." Robin answered.
"But what if it's something very bad again?"
"Don't worry my love; I will let none hurt you."
"And what about Raven?" Starfire said as they were going to the common room
"I will carry both of you under my protective wings."
"But…"
"I will let anyone or anything get to you, Star. Is that clear?" Robin said as they were sitting on the couch.
"…"
"Is that clear, baby?"
"…"
"Then maybe this is clear" He said as he pulled Starfire to his side.
She have lied with her head on his legs. Robin lifted her chin and pulled her in his embrace. He kissed her gently. Starfire drawn herself into the kiss, and stopped thinking of how much sorrow she had in her soul, of how much she already missed her lost friends, of the danger that Raven may have been in again. Robin did the same thing, he devoted his whole self into the kiss and stopped thinking about the future, about what the dawn of the new day would bring, of what the dawn of the previous day brought, of the loss their only friend was suffering…They were so busy that they didn't notice Raven's lonely figure.
She was slipping silently into the kitchen, dragged a glass and filled it with water. She left as silently as she could, but as she was leaving; her sight fell on the image of the two Titans kissing eachother passionately on the couch in the common room. She felt her alter into ice, her body transforming into a frozen sculpture and her heart turning to an icecube as she had a flashback of her own kiss, the first and the only one she have shared with BB.
The glass slipped between her frozen fingertips and fell to the floor. It crashed onto the slates and broke. The noise surprised the two lovebirds and they broke the kiss. Raven howled in pain from her memory and immediately left the room as Robin was getting up to see what was going on.
"Raven? WAIT! RAVEN! What…?" Robin tried to ask her, but she has already gone to her room. "What's gotten into her?" he wondered
"Maybe it's because we were kissing…" Starfire said
"What's so wrong about it?" Robin asked
"I don't know…Maybe when she saw us; an image so tender and loving dragged memories from of the back of her mind and brought them on the surface…"
"You thought all that by yourself? Baby you amaze me!" Robin stated
"I'm getting better and better each day!" Star smiled
"You surely are!" Robin said and he lifted her in his embrace as he started to walk towards their room.

Uh…Mumbling the same phrase again and again, I'm sick of it! I am going to write one more chap now. CU!
