'Why didn't I tell you?'
The next few days, there were no attacks, no assaults, no back robberies, there was nothing. Only silence. Robin had gone to the roof, like he always did, and watched the sun rise, still holding the cloak Raven had wore the day she vanished into oblivion. He still cried when he watched the sun rise, remembering the "birthmarks" that Slade had placed all over her. He was reaching out for someone who wasn't there anymore and he was saddened by the thought.
Without warning this morning, Robin had dreamed of Raven.
She was dancing alone in a ballroom, dancing alone. She wore a long black dress and her hair was pinned back in a beautiful barret of a raven. Her eyes were closed and she held her hands up, as if she danced with an invisible partner. She drifted off into the infinate darkness around Robin and never appeared again.
"Robin?"
He thought it was his imagination. He thought he heard Raven's voice...
A hand on his shoulder. "Robin?"
He didn't want to look, but curiousity got the better of him. He turned to the owner of the flate toned voice and his eyes widened. "No..."
Bathed in sunlight, hair thrown back, a smileing face, and those eyes. Raven wrapped her arms around him. "I was saved."
He gently pushed her back. "Raven?"
"You called me back." She gently ran a finger down his cheek and touched his lips. "You can stop crying for me. I'm here to stay until old age takes me." She slowly leaned forward, her emotions seeming to not effect her powers, and she kissed him, the sun illuminating them. "I have control over only parts of my powers," she admitted to him. "I guess that'll never change." She gave him a bright smile and it threw over the volleyball net and she gasped. "See? Told you so."
Robin wrapped the cloak over her shoulders. "Can I tell you something?"
"You don't have to say it," she said.
"I want to. I've bottled it up for God knows how long!" Robin suddenly turned to the sun and took a deep breath. "YOU SEE THIS WOMAN HERE?!" He gestured to Raven. "I LOVE HER WITH ALL MY SOUL! I LOVE HER BECAUSE SHE... well... HER! I LOVE THIS WOMAN! I LOVE RAVEN! I..." He turned around. "I love you, Raven." He swept her up into his arms and he held her close and whispered in her ear; "I love you forever and ever and on to oblivion."
She smiled. "I love you, too."
'And it's all because of you...'
