No books at all

"Go Robin!"

"Where's your head, Rob? Attack!"

"You can do it!"

"Come on. Show him who's the best!"

"Robin! Robin!"

Umm? Oh, no. It was not a battle, at least not to a villain. It was a video game match between Robin and Cyborg. Starfire and Best Boy had been cheering on Robin all this time.

"Hey, so no cheers for Cy?" The half robot teen pouted.

"I'm with you Cy!"

"Hey! A loyal friend. Thanks Terra!"

'Haa, loyal? Right' Thought Raven bitterly. She was sitting on the very end of the couch not really interested on what was going on, but since she had ran out of interesting books to read, she had nothing better to do.

Robin and Cyborg were on the final of a video game tournament. And now Starfire and Terra encouraged and cheered them as they were about to finish their last round. Starfire was obviously on Robin's side and Terra, since Beast Boy had already been eliminated on the first round, was now cheering on Cyborg. When Beast Boy lost to Cyborg, he maturely cheered on Robin too.

After a while, not too enthusiastic about the new match between his friends, Beast Boy slowly walked to his 'girlfriend' and pouted like a little disappointed child. She just rolled her eyes and jokingly patted him on the back as if he were in real grief.

"Accept it Cyborg. There's gonna be a new score leader, and it's gonna be-"

"ME!" Cyborg shouted as he reached his goal. "Again!"

"Booyah!" Terra cheered with Cyborg's own expression and gave him a highfive.

"Well said girl!" He added.

"What?! That was impossible!" Robin argued not believing the final result.

"Wrong!" He replied back with a smile. "And that's how you defeat a sore loser!"

"Am not! And you cheated!"

"Forget it Rob. I've been trying to uncover his secrets all this years and it's pointless!" Beast Boy commented getting into the argument.

"But… I had it!" He said on the verge of tears.

"Awee… I'm sure you'll be able to do the kicking of the digital butt the next game, friend Robin." Now it was Starfire's turn to pat Robin's back.

Beast Boy observed their behavior and got closer to Raven. "Are those two ever gonna get together?"

Raven shrugged her shoulders. "I don't know, but one thing I'm sure of… if it ever does happen, it's going to be Starfire who'll make the first move."

He laughed. "Yeah, you're probably right."

Suddenly the alarm went off ruining their moment of peace. Immediately everyone was silenced and looked at the screen. It was a bank robbery, by the H.I.V.E. Five. Raven rolled her eyes. It was their fourth attempt that month and it was getting really annoying.

They arrived to the crime scene and Robin explained his strategy as usual. As the fight began, everyone took their position and they attacked with basically the same old strategy.

Surprisingly, the battle was taking more than they had expected, apparently after fighting the same enemy over four times you learn some stuff. Gizmo created new equipment that made him more agile and strong and Jinx attacks were stronger too.

"Is it just me, or these guys are really starting to piss me off?" Terra commented as she threw some rocks at them.

"It never took this long before." Beast Boy observed.

"It's no time to chat, we gotta end-"

Robin was interrupted when they he heard Raven gasping in pain. Everyone turned around to see a falling Raven.

"Raven!"

Robin ran to her side but ordered the rest of the team to continue.

Starfire enraged by the sudden event, fought with all her strength against a smirking Gizmo. "You klorgbag!"

One of those stupid machines from Gizmo had reached up to her sending the empath to her side hardly. She was on the ground with her arms around her right leg. Raven gritted her teeth in pain and grabbed her leg closer.

"Raven, what happened?" The leader asked.

"It's nothing. I think I got my ankle twisted."

He tried to help her up but when he pulled her by the arm she gasped in pain once again. "Aggh. It's… broken."

"Oh, sorry."

"This is bad. With my arm hurt I cannot even heal myself either. It seems they'll have to heal by themselves." She said while slowly standing up and grabbing Robin's shoulder for support.

"Raven, I need to go help them. You'll be fine?" She nodded. "Just stay safe, ok?"

She nodded again and saw him parting from his side. It would take a while. She took her injured arm with her left arm and sighed in annoyance. Now she'd have to wait for her teammates to finish the job without her.

Raven took this chance to take a look to the surroundings, seeing it was nothing else to do. Far ahead in a corner she saw something that took her attention right away.

'How on Earth did I miss that book store before?'

She had gone several times to this side of the city and never got sight of it before. It has been a while since she last bought a new book, that's why by now she had nothing left to read. It was perfect!

The remaining titans fought the rest of the H.I.V.E. for other fifteen minutes and then the fight was finally over. They all ran to her side, to see how she was doing.

"Rae, what happened?"

She explained what had happened to her while Robin was talking to the commissioner. Cyborg proceeded to examine her injuries and frowned.

"It's no good, it might not hurt that much yet but soon it will. We havta get to the tower now or it will get worse!"

Her eyes widened for a second as disappointment approached her. She gave a final look to the bookstore and then sighed in resignation. "Sure."

Beast Boy noticed her reaction and her longing look but said nothing. Her well being was first. Instead he went to her side and helped her walk to the T- Car.

Now they were on the medical bay gathered around Raven. Beast Boy noticed how her cheeks were tinted pink, obviously not liking that much attention. He thought it was cute coming from someone like Raven of all people. He smiled to himself and saw as she tried to stand up with her new cast, how fun!

She rested her weight on her good leg and everything was perfect… but failed when she tried to walk and almost fell to the cold floor.

"Hey hey, relax Rae. Even I knew that wasn't a good idea." Beast Boy chuckled grabbing her by her waist as he stopped her fall.

"Uggh. I really hate this." She said slightly pushing him away with her good arm.

Cyborg frowned, knowing perfectly well she wouldn't like to stay in bed for too long. "Rae, we'll help as much as you need, and you can stay in your room… as you usually are…" he added this last part muttering mostly to himself. "And I know you won't like this, but you can always use a wheelchair…?"

Raven just made a face that said otherwise.

"Raven, don't be so stubborn." Robin said with a chuckle.

"He's right. We're all here to help." Surprisingly, it was Terra talking. Raven felt genuineness from her so shrugged it off.

"Yeah. You think you're alone Rae, but you're not." Added Beast Boy.

'Huum… Déjà vu' She thought.

She sighed. "Fine." Then she took Beast Boy's hand for support.

"Just help me go to my room." She mumbled.

Starfire volunteered to help her to her room and gently took her to her bed.

"Is there something else you need help with?"

"No, I don't think so. I'm fine, Star. Thanks." She said offering a tiny smile.

"I am sorry for your injuries friend, but I'm most happy that you are all right." That was Starfire, always looking at the bright side.

"Yeah, I'll be fine." The tamaranian smiled widely and closed the door as she left.

'Maybe I'll just take this time to meditate.' She thought and got into the most comfortable position she could manage and started to chant her mantra.

(*)

After a while, there was as soft knock on her door. But the empath was still deep in meditation. Just for how long had she been meditating?

As she heard the knock, she slowly opened her eyes. She glanced at her clock to notice she meditated for three hours and surprised by this she tried to stand up.

"Raven? Are you still… there?"

It was Beast Boy, probably worried she had been quiet for too much time.

"Come in." She said finally, now on a normal sitting position at the edge of her bed.

Beast Boy relaxed to hear her voice and opened the door. He offered one of his grins and walked in with his hands hidden on his back.

She raised an eyebrow at his strange behavior. "So…. What do you want?"

His grin grew wider and she eyed him suspiciously. Then he asked her to close her eyes, which made her more suspicious. She did as she was told and then she felt something resting on her hand.

She opened her eyes and found it was a book, a new book. She looked at Beast Boy then at the book a little surprised.

"What's-"

He laughed nervously looking at his feet and said. "Well, you told me you had nothing left to read and since you wouldn't read my comics…" She smirked shaking her head. "…I thought you would like it. I saw you glancing at that bookstore before and since you won't go anytime soon… well… yeah."

She could feel his nervousness and she thought it was a kind gesture.

"Thank you, Beast Boy. I really appreciate it." She said offering a smile.

"You mean it?" He said finally looking at her eyes and taking a seat next to her.

She nodded still smiling."The Tragedy of Queen Saphira, huh? It seems… interesting."

"I read the back cover and figured you'd like it." He said now more confident. "It's about some…"

He trailed off when he saw her reading the back cover.

He chuckled. "I guess I'll just leave you now." He smiled at her and was about to stand up.

But before he could make a move she stopped him with something none of them was expecting. She hugged him. He hesitated to hug her back, it was Raven for God's sake, but he did anyway and just as it had appeared, it was gone.

"Thank you."

He blinked a couple of times and then smiled as he usually does, widely and sincere.

"Anytime."

1) Nope, I do not own the Teen Titans, and never will.

2) Ok, I know it's short but I didn't feel like writing anything more for this chap. Anyway… Thanks for reading :)

3) R&R ;)
