Wayne Mansion Dec 24 Christmas Eve
"Come on Rae, our guests are starting to arrive," Bruce said standing in the door way to the twins room. "I'll be right down, Saya is being a little difficult right now," you replied, as you gently rocked her. You went over to the window, down at the people coming into the mansion. You turned looking straight into the full length mirror in front of the door.
You wore a strapless crimson colored dress, it seemed to wrap around your middle first with 3 blood red roses were sowed into the right side of the dress, the dress fell to your ankles with fluffy white trimmings decorating the top and bottom of the dress.
You turned away from the mirror and placed Saya into her cradle and put a CD with Christmas songs on with low volume. You smiled softly when Saya yawned tiredly.
You walked out of the room putting on your mask as you did, you left the door open just a little and walked down stairs.
Once you got to the ball room you realized there were already a lot of people there.
"did you get her to sleep?" Bruce asked coming up next to you.
"No, I don't know where she gets that stubbornness from," you sighed.
"I do," He said... "From who?" you asked. "You and of course Robin," he said. "You're right, of course she does," you said efficiently covering up your momentary hurt at hearing hisname. He smirked; "Hay Bruce," someone said behind you. You and Bruce turned to see Cyborg standing behind you wearing a halo ring. "Oh, hello Cyborg, I see you've decided to come this year," Bruce said, "But why do i have the feeling it wasn't for me that you came?" ... "I think you're just paranoid old man, we all came of course," Cyborg said.
"We've actually heard some news about a long lost daughter," Beast Boy said now standing next to Cyborg along with Terra. "Ah, yes, guys and lovely lady meet Rachel," Bruce said indicating you. You smiled warmly at them; "It's nice to meet you, I've heard lots about you all, but Bruce.... you said looking up at Bruce... Aren't there suppose to be 6 of them?" you asked playing the part of a confused daughter.
"Well there were but... sadly one of us ran away.... but no worries we are hot on her trail," Terra said with a soft/sad/pointed smile of her own. "The rest of us are around here somewhere," Cy said with a shrug. You smiled again but you were screaming inside. "I better go, merry Christmas Titans," you said smiled again and walked off.
Once you were well away from them you let out a breath you didn't know you were holding. You sat down at a table next to the huge Christmas tree, you and the twins decorated and as you predicted some of the colored balls on the tree were black, you smiled softly as you remembered how Bruce reacted when you still put up the black balls. You always loved staring at the trees during Christmas time.
You didn't know how long you sat there till someone tapped you on your shoulder. You looked up too see.... Starfire.
"Oh, hello you must be Starfire, I'm Rachel, Bruce's daughter," you said outstretching your hand for her to shake. "I know it's you Raven," she said looking you in the eyes. "You must have me confused with someone else," you said swiftly. "I do not think so, no one i know except for my sister Raven have the purple eyes, like yours," She said softly almost brokenly. You closed your eyes tightly and looked down, fighting back tears.
"Starfire, I'm sorry I-I can't do this, I have to go," You said and stood up to leave. She grabbed you hand; "Please friend Raven, nothings the same without you there.... Rae please I'm sorry, i didn't know, if i did- i wouldn't have done it- You cut her off. "Star it's not your fault," you said harshly,"I told you that." ... "I know, i still can't help but still think the fault is still partly mine," she replied. "Well it's not, Starfire, you are the sister i never had, and I'm sorry for not telling you about".... you stopped feeling like your heart was about to rip in two again. You took a deep breath; "About Robin and I." you finished and hugged her trying hard not to cry yourself.
You could hear her soft but muffled cry of surprise then happiness when you embraced her. "Hay, star, what's- Speedy stopped short as you pulled away and turned to him, Terra, Beast Boy, Cyborg and Bumble Bee. "Hay, guys, i guess you found me didn't you," you stated more then asked. "Ya, not that hard with the fan mail coming from Gotham in all," Cyborg said smiling. You looked down; "I should have known someone would recognize me," you said softly. "But its a good thing they did," Terra said. You hugged her tightly, she hugged back; "Ya what Terra said," Beast Boy said. You laughed softly and hugged him too, then Cyborg. "It's nice to have you back," Cyborg said. You didn't say anything to that; "So where are your two Bumgorphs (?)?," Starfire asked. "Upstairs asleep," you replied. "oh" she said. "But i guess we can take a quick peek," you said and started to lead the way out.
You were in the corridor leading to the Twins room when..."Raven," Robins unmistakable deep voice said from behind Cyborg, Beast Boy, Bee, and Terra. They parted and Robin stepped forward.
You felt a pang of pain when you seen him, followed by guilt when you looked into his for once unmasked eyes. He took a hesitant step forward and reached out his hand and gently touched your cheek as if afraid that you weren't real. You closed your eyes and moved into his touch but you pulled away and took a step back.... Trust as while as Timid and Love screaming for you not to trust him again.
Hurt flashed across his face; "Raven... Please, he begged. Tears gathered behind your Amethyst eyes; Cyborg, Beast Boy, Terra, Speedy and Bee looked around searching for flying objects but found none. Robin didn't move begging for you to take him back with his eyes, he took another step forward. You deliberately cocooned your arms in your dark energy. He stepped forward again so that he was but a arms length away; Go ahead if you really don' love me then I'd rather die, then live without you any longer, I love you too much to deny you anything, so if you want me dead then so be it, he said truth and... love shinning in his eyes.
Your dark energy disappeared; "Why?" you whispered defeated looking away and removing your mask and putting it on a nearby table. "I wasn't thinking, Rae, I'm so sorry, I've been going crazy thinking about you, i can't sleep, i can hardly eat, my every thought is about you, i can't- I-I'm so sorry," he fell to his knees in front of you. "That doesn't answer my question Robin," you said still half- heatedly. "BECAUSE RAVEN, I WAS STUPID- I'M A STUPID SELFISH LITTLE BOY WHO DIDN'T KNOW A GOOD THING WHEN HE HAD IT!! He exclaimed as he crawled on his knees to wrap his arms around your waist and bury his face into your stomach tears falling down his pale cheeks...
So what do u guys think.... good... bad OK so i have a question for all of you..... Should she take him back? Yes or No? Well review and tell me...
