"Robin!" yelled Raven.
Raven looked at the clock. It was about 9 a.m. She had just woken up from another nightmare. She panted as sweat dropped from her temples on to the blankets. Raven got up and went in to the bathroom. She brushed her teeth and combed her hair. Raven then tied her hair in to a bun and went up to her closet. She took out a pair of brown sweat pants and put on a tight white shirt. It reached her waist and showed her belly button. She put on socks and tied her sneakers. She put on a watch on her wrist. Raven headed out of her room and saw the blank door in front of her. It used to be Robin's room once, but after the Tokyo trip, he moved next to Starfire and probably every night sleeps with her. Raven sighed wishing she had never looked at that door. Now, she had shared the whole floor to herself. Beastboy and Cyborg were both on the third floor, Starfire and Robin were on the sixth floor, and Raven was on the eight floor. She now had what she wished for, her own peace and quiet. Raven walked to the elevator and pressed a button. The elevator door opened automatically and she came in. She pressed "G" and it would take her to the gym. Raven was planning to jog on the tred mill and then practice her fighting. She and Robin used to always practice together, she remembered what he always said to her when he pinned her to the ground.
Flashback
Raven and Robin were fighting. Hand to hand, no powers or gadgets. Both were now panting, Raven had worn Robin out and Robin had worn Raven out. Raven smiled and then sat on a bench drinking water from her bottle. Suddenly, Robin pinned her to the ground, her water bottle flying out of her hands and water dropping on both of them like rain. Robin was on top of Raven and looked in to her eyes and she looked at his. Their faces were getting closer and closer as each second passed. Robin then spoke,
"Never let your gaurd down."
Robin softly gave a kiss to Raven on the cheek and let go of her and got off. Raven rubbed the back of her head and sat down crossed legged.
End of Flashback
Raven scoffed. Now it was all different, Robin would be practicing with Starfire, probably always making out. Raven felt digust as the thought of Starfire and Robin crossed her mind. Since the beginning, she had to watch them get closer. She should have taken a shot at him too, but she was too shy. She tried to kiss him after the "end of the world", but she only had enough confidence in herself to hug him. She can remember everything so clearly as it was.
Flashback
Raven was smiling, actually smiling. She defeated Trigon and all was good.
"No, it wasn't," Raven claimed," somebody believe."
Raven ran up to Robin and puts her arms around him. He put his hand around her and pressed her body against him. She felt the softness in his neck and Robin felt the soft fabric of her new white cloak. Raven was just about to kiss when Beastboy interupted.
"Okay," yelled Beastboy," you're freaking me out here! The white robe and smile are weird enough, but hugs?..."
Almost a kiss thought Raven.
"Are you still...you?" asks Beastboy.
End of Flashback.
Suddenly, the elevator stopped. Raven knew that the elevator has temporary stops like this. She could've just fazed herself out, but Raven decided to have her own personal time. The light from the elevator flickered and Raven sat down in the corner. Raven missed Robin. In fact, she wished that he'd be stuck in that elevator with her. Holding hands. Cuddling.
Flashback
"I've known my whole life that this day was going to come, " said Raven," I tried to control the dark side of me. I tried to do good things, to fight evil, and hoped that would somehow make up for the horrible thing I'm destined to do."
"But no one knows their destiny," replied Robin, "there are things you can't possibly know."
"There are some things I didn't know," Raven tilted her head up, "like how I would make such wonderful friends. All I wanted was to make your last day perfect. Instead, you spent it worrying about me."
Robin looked at Raven and she looked back at those masked eyes. They were locked away from the world for just that mere second. Robin then took a few steps forward. He took her hand. Raven felt his gloved fingers. It was like their hands fit together as one.
"That's what friends do," smiled Robin.
Raven couldn't stand the inhumanity of this moment. She let go and backed away from Robin. She had loved him and she finally found out the reply, yet, she couldn't stop what was destined to become.
"And as my friends, you have to let me go, " said Raven.
End of Flashback
"Robin," sighed Raven," I miss you."
Raven knew that all that had happened was nothing more than mere regret from probably Robin. His heart had now belonged to Starfire. Raven was a no body, just some member on the team. Suddenly, she heard two voices from the floor above her. It was Robin and Starfire.
"I love you Robin," said Starfire lusciously.
"I love you too," said Robin.
Raven felt tears appear in her eyes as she began to quietly sob to herself. All the memories that Robin had given her were nothing. Not the day at the parade, not the movie, not even their encounter with Mumbo. Raven felt as though her heart had been ripped out, stomped on by, and then thrown in to a garbage can. Raven weeped. She never thought that this day would come, that her friendship with Robin would be all over.
Flashback
"Do you like the movie?" whispered Robin.
Raven felt his breath in her ear. It was warm and his voice gave her a chill up her spine. Raven smiled and looked at Robin's masked eyes. He looked back. Raven's hand rested on an arm rest and then, Robin put his hand on her. Their fingers came together and one and they were holding hands.
"Yes," whispered back Raven.
End of Flashback
Raven cried more for that it had all been a painful memory. Raven knew that her nose had become big like a potatoe and red. It always happened when she cried. The elevator had suddenly began to move and stopped on the sixth floor. Raven stood up and decided to walk out. When the door slid open, she saw Robin pin Starfire to teh wall. He was holding her wrists against the wall and kissing with her. They didn't even notice a black bird fly away while they were sharing their saliva.
Raven landed on the ground. She just lay there, on the dirty ground of the park. It was raining harshly and the clouds were gray. Her hair was messed up, but she didn't care. She just witnessed the person she loved having a make out session with the person she hated from now. She hit the ground with her knuckle only to make it bleed. Suddenly, there was an umbrella over her. Raven looked up and saw Slade. The umbrella had exploded and Raven had levitated up. Her eyes turned blazing white and teh tips of her fingers were glowing with her aurora.
"What do you want?"
"Just to help," snickered Slade.
