Disclaimers suck. Thank you and have a nice day.
"Let me go!"
An extremely, displeased Raven was now pulling her arm away from the tight grip of the Boy Wonder, who had, unfortunately for Raven, teleported with her when she disappeared from their sight. Her arm was beginning to turn red from the hold and incessant pulling, but at this point, she didn't care. All she wanted was to be left alone with her thoughts. Perhaps then she could be truly happy.
Sure, happy, and cows fly.
"Raven, I suggest you stop the pulling and stop yelling. I'm not letting you out of my sight, no matter what you do or say. Understand? Good." His "speech" was not what annoyed her the most; it was the fact that he was using his arrogant and cocky voice to get to her. The saddest thing was, that it wasn't annoying her. She just loved hearing his voice. Which made it all worst…
Robin grunted. Although his ego would not let him admit it, Raven was tough to control, both physically and mentally, and he knew that if he ever let her go, not only would he lose the lead he had worked so hard to gain, he would probably lose his life as well, seeing as she was capable of destroying him into little pieces of blood and flesh.
Yes, she was that cruel. He had a bond with her, and he tended to make the best of it. Unfortunately, her evil thoughts were always on broadcast, no matter how hard she hid it. At this moment, he could faintly hear the sounds of "When I get out of here… I… thrash his head… against a bloody wall… and have pigeons … eat organs… and videotape it…" or something along the lines of that.
"Raven! Please! Will you stop and listen to me for once!" Raven glared at him with loathing eyes that burned with pure hatred, a scowl that would put criminals to shame. Ignoring it, he continued to stare at her. But nonetheless, she listened, calming down her raging emotions.
"Why are you doing this?" He asked, his voice soft and calm. Raven looked up, her eyes softening at the sound of his soothing voice. She looked away, only to have Robin take her chin and pull it up, forcing her to place her wandering gaze on him. She shut her eyes, unwilling to stare at the black and white mask he donned, covering his eyes.
Her anger was slowly dieing, fading away as his melodic voice soothed her senses. Her jumbled thoughts were once again sorting into place, her sense of reason becoming clear.
She said nothing.
He knew she would not.
She needed time.
"It's none of your damn business." Okay, so she was still stubborn. But it was going to take a lot more than some nice words to get her to go back to a life where he wouldn't think of her more than a friend. Where he would look at another girl and say he loved her... a place where she wasn't that girl.
Robin sighed. He knew it would be hard once he found her, but this was taking it too far!
"What happened back there? Why did you leave? ... What did you mean when you said that?"
Raven looked away. "I have no idea what you're talking about." she said stubbornly.
Robin shut his eyes, trying to force the headache that was forming to go away. "All right then, fine. You said "that's all you think of me, a friend". Why? We're not friends Raven, is that it?"
For some reason, he knew she would stay silent.
"Honestly Rae... this whole chase is getting annoying! Why won't you tell me what's wrong?"
"You're the one who used Bee to find me."
"I wouldn't have had to do that if you would just tell me what your damn problem is!"
Raven closed her eyes. She knew he was right, heck, he probably knew it too.
But could she help it if she didn't want to suffer?
She looked down, ignoring the fact that Robin had a grip on her arms.
"Having Bee on my side... isn't the problem is it Raven?"
She didn't say anything, only mentally noted that boys were really slow. (1)
"The problem..." He hesitantly said, taking a deep breath before he continued, "has to do with us, doesn't it?" He came closer to her, keeping their faces apart by a few inches. "You were offended by me thinking of you only as my friend, right?"
She nodded, but stayed quiet.
"How else am I supposed to think of you Raven? My teammate? My... comrade?"
Wow... he is slow. was all she could think.
But why did she expect him to understand? He didn't share the same feelings she felt for him right? He thought of her as a "comrade", a friend... they might have had a bond, but he probably thinks of her as a close friend, someone who understands him.
Was that all?
"Tell me Rae. I want to help you. What's wrong?"
He didn't love her... he loved someone else...
"Why aren't you letting me help you?"
He loved someone that was not her...
"Why-"
"Nothing! Nothing is the problem!" She said in anger. "I'll go back, happy? It's nothing to worry about!" She forced herself from his grip on her and began to fly away, but he caught her arm before she left.
Just when I thought I was getting through to her...
"Raven!"
"Go away!" She said, growling. "Leave me alone! You got what you wanted, okay! Everything's perfect okay! You can go back to the Tower and to loving Starfire, and then you can leave me alone!"
He doesn't love me... she thought. It'll always be that way. I guess I have to accept it.
She pulled her arm away and flew back to the Tower, leaving Robin in shock.
Is that her problem? She thinks I love Starfire...?
Robin fell to the floor on his knees, still trying to recover from what Raven said.
But, I don't love Starfire...
He looked back at her flying figure.
I love her...
(1) - I don't Want to offend anyone. Sorry if it does...
I'm SO sorry I haven't updated in a long time. I had the first part written, but then I stopped and forgot about it. Sorry! I'm going to try and finish some stories, I hope it happens.
Warning: Next chapter might POSSIBLY be last. Unsure as of yet.
