The Teen Titans wasted no time on getting home. Despite Beast Boy's desperate pleas to stop by the Ski lodge and order up a hot chocolate, the rest of the team simply ignored him and jumped into the T-car.

The ride home was, for the most part, a silent one. Every once and awhile you would hear Starfire's attempts at conversation or the throaty sound of Beast Boy's snoring, but other than that everyone was confined to their own thoughts.

Robin was silently fuming in the captain's chair. How could he have let something like that happen? One of his team members' had been in danger and he hadn't been able to prevent it. Robin looked out the window and watched the lights of Jump City sparkle in the moonlight. He had a million questions for Raven, and he wanted them answered now. But he knew how his dark friend was. If he were to ask her questions now the only answer he would receive would be a cold 'I don't want to talk about it.' No, he had to wait until they were alone at Titans Tower.

It was about eleven o' clock at night when the Titans finally got home. Everyone was exhausted and wasted no time getting to their rooms. They bade each other quick 'goodnights' and 'don't let the bed bugs bite' before heading off to bed.

Robin had no intention of going to sleep anytime soon, he was going to get the truth from Raven even if it killed him. He hid in his room until midnight. This was the time when Raven would usually go to the kitchen and get herself some tea. On the nights that Robin had been up searching for leads on Slade, Raven always came by his room with tea to calm his nerves. Robin smiled at the memories. On those cruel nights when Robin would be under so much stress Raven would always stay and have small conversations with him. And after every one of her visits Robin would feel so much better.

Robin was bounced out of his thoughts by the swishing sound of Raven's door opening and then closing again. He waited until her footsteps were out of his earshot before opening his own door to follow her.

Robin entered the kitchen calmly. He took a few moments to scan over the rest of the room until he allowed himself to look at Raven. Raven was floating next to her brewing tea on the stove. She was wearing velvety textured yoga pants with a green spaghetti trapped tank top that came just below her waist. Robin was stunned; Raven never wore anything other than her usual cloak and leotard. Although, Robin had to admit that he had no problem with this new outfit. Raven did not turn to acknowledge Robin's appearance. She knew that he was going to be following her the moment she stepped out of her bedroom.

Robin ambled over to where Raven still had her back to him. He pulled up a chair from the kitchen's island and sat down. "I really like the new look." He said casually. Raven glanced at him slightly.

"Yeah well, don't get used to it. I'm just wearing it because it's the only thing Starfire got for me that wasn't pink," She said in her usual cold monotone. She hoisted herself so that she was sitting on the counter. "So what's up with you? You're usually asleep by now." Robin shifted in his chair; he had a feeling that this conversation was going to be very awkward for the both of them.

"I wanted to ask you," Robin confessed while rubbing the back of his neck. "About what happened with Red X." Raven longed for the confines of her hooded cloak, so that the red that just blossomed on her cheeks wouldn't be visible.

"Nothing happened, Robin." She mumbled, turning her head away from him. Robin crossed his arms.

"I want the truth Raven."

Raven bit her bottom lip and looked down at the floor. If she told him that Red X had been flirting with her the whole time he would blow his top. But she couldn't lie to him, not Robin. She had finished lying to him after they saved the world from her father. Now they held no secrets from each other. Raven even got to see Robin's true face one time when she and him were talking in his room together. If she held back the truth from him now, it could make her feel a very painful pang of guilt. Raven took a deep breath and began her story. She told him about how Red X dragged her down the mountain and they took refuge in a cave. She reflected on how she and Red X slept next to each other. And she explained how the snow trapped her inside the cave. Robin stayed silent as Raven drawled out her story. When she finally finished he stood from his chair and paced back and forth.

"It doesn't make sense," He muttered to himself, forgetting that Raven was in the room. "I thought Red X liked Starfire." Raven interrupted his train of thought.

"He told me that he only hit on her to make you jealous." Robin, suddenly remembering that Raven was there, pounded his fist into his hand.

"I will protect you from Red X, Raven," He declared. Raven rolled her eyes but it went unnoticed by the Boy Wonder.

"Come on, Robin, Red X was just messing with me. It didn't mean anything. And besides, its just Red X, I can handle him on my own." Robin's face softened and put a gentle hand on her shoulder.

"I know you can, I'm just worried about you." Raven's face turned a deep shade of red, but she was saved by the tea kettle whistling. She quickly spun around and poured her dink into a mug.

"Thanks for your concern, Mom," She said with sarcasm while heading towards the sliding doors. "But I'm a big girl, now and I can take care of myself." Robin scratched his head.

"Alright, if you say so, Raven." Without saying another word, Raven exited through the sliding doors. Robin shrugged and went to pull a carton of milk out of the fridge.

Raven through herself onto her bed. She knew Robin cared about her a lot, sometimes she even thought he liked her more than just a friend. But she always put that thought aside. She knew as well as everyone else around here that he and Starfire were dating. Raven shook her head. She had no time for boys she was too busy saving the city. And besides dating was a waste of time. Back in Azarath there was no such thing as 'dating' there were only arranged marriages and she left that life long before they decided who she was to marry.

Raven pushed herself onto her elbows and blew out the candle that was lit on her bedside table. No matter how hard she tried, she just couldn't get to sleep. Maybe it had something to do with the dark, masked figure that was sitting outside her window. Or maybe it was just a case of insomnia. What do you think?
