A/N: Here's the fifth chapter. I'm really having trouble with this story. I feel like its getting away from me and I can't really seem to find my place with it and this is pretty much the first time that's ever happened since I started writing. I don't know. It just may take me some time to get the next chapter out but of course it could be out tomorrow. It just matters when I get it together. I probably should think positive but then that really wouldn't be my style. Also, my other story Finding Hope Again is kind of taking up some of my time so things are going slower. Oh well. That's it. Peace.

And to my reviewers:

evilsangle: Yeah I'd say I really could have made Starfire a lot angrier and a lot more cruel but I guess that would kind of move too far away from her true character that she is. She's not evil but maybe it would be fun to write an evil Starfire.

mysti-eyed: Yeah I'm trying to make you feel just a bit for Starfire but more leaning toward Raven being the truer victim in all of this and overly possessive might be an understatement for her. Also, I can't promise that things will work out for the best but things should work out.

Cherry Jade: I think that if Robin and Starfire were together, she would be that psychotic girlfriend who had to be with him every minute and wouldn't let him have any friends who were girls outside her. Starfire was being quite mean but she could have been far worse or even violent though I thought that would be too far out of character for her. She does have a crazy obsession with Robin but I don't she's evil like that. Again thanks for the compliments, I do appreciate them.

MsLessa: Ah a new reviewer. Always good to see one of those. I'm glad you are enjoying the story and like what I'm doing with it in each chapter. I'm also glad you like what Raven said about Robin because it is very true. Have to wait still to see who he chooses because its not hear in this chapter. Heck I haven't even decided who he'll choose but your opinion for it is noted.

zadeon: I agree with you completely. Good but not great and I like being great. This particular story is just giving me trouble. Hope this chapter goes better. Still not sure how I feel about it.

Trying To Do the Right Thing

Chapter 5

By: Finalitylife

Cyborg finished up with Raven who still remained unconscious though she was in no danger. Beast Boy had left the room to do god knows what saying he didn't like seeing Raven like she was but Starfire and Robin remained still though they stood about as far apart as they could get. Cyborg knew it was about time to get some answers and figured he would start with Robin.

"Hey Rob, could I talk to you about something outside. Its pretty important." Robin hesitated for a second before answering before reluctantly nodding. Starfire's voice came out next.

"I shall watch Raven while you two talk. It is the least I can do for your injured friend." Both boys easily picked up the use of your instead of our when she spoke. This really made Cyborg wonder about what they were arguing about and easily affirmed Robin's suspicion that in fact in had been him they had fought over. It really made him feel worse and worse. The two young men left the infirmary as Starfire continued to stand where she was staring at Raven's prone form with a blank expression.

Cyborg stared down at Robin who stared nervously at the ground. It was very unlike the normally confident and fearless leader he knew him to be.

"Alright Robin, I figured you might have an explanation about what is going on because by the way you are acting, you are definitely involved in what's going on." Robin did not answer immediately though he let out a deep sigh. He looked up at Cyborg, meeting the larger man's concerned gaze.

"Well I guess your entitled to hear this because I know how much of a bigger brother you are to those two girls in there. Time for me to tell you a story of how I was a complete idiot." Cyborg listened intently to Robin as he detailed what had been going on with Raven, Starfire, and Robin as of late though Robin left out a few details such as then nature or Raven's dreams as well as many of the details of his conversation with Batman. Cyborg felt himself being quite shocked, then rather angry at the smaller boy standing in front of him, then extremely contemplative about the situation. Cyborg still mildly wanted to slap Robin upside the head but couldn't bring himself to do it. He knew that despite Robin making a completely wrong decision, he knew he had only had the best of intentions in his mind when he went about it. He knew Robin had thought he was doing the right thing though it was made blatantly clear to him not that long ago that he indeed had followed the wrong path in dealing with the two girls affections. Cyborg stood quietly thinking for a few minutes as Robin finished up his story, explaining how he really had no idea how Starfire even knew about Raven and had no idea what had transpired in Raven's room only a half an hour ago.

"Well Robin, if you don't mind me say, this is one really messed up situation that you managed to help create. I'd say this ranks up there with your decision to be Red X in the idiot category." Robin nodded his head.

"I know Cy, I know."

"So do you plan on following Batman's advice on how to fix what you might have broken?" Again Robin nodded.

"Yeah Cy. I plan on sitting down and talking with both of them and being completely straight forward. They deserve for me to be honest with them, not me trying to avoid the real heart of everything." Cyborg smiled.

"Its good to hear you finally making some damn sense." Robin couldn't help but smile at the larger man in front of him. It was a good thing to have friends like him. Cyborg seemed to pause for a second before asking a question.

"If you don't mind me asking Rob, are you actually in love with either of them?" Robin's smile quickly melted away at the question. This was the question that he really didn't want to face though he knew that this choice needed to be made before he really could talk to the two girls. He managed to shake his head.

"Just like I told Batman, I just don't know. Its such a difficult thing to find an answer to."

"Remember Rob, we're superheroes. Nothing in our lives is easy. I mean we can't make breakfast without nearly burning down the tower so why the hell would this be easy." The two boys cuckled slightly.

"True, so very true. Though I believe its you and Beast Boy who almost burn down the tower every morning in your insane race to finish cooking first." Cyborg suddenly glared down at the still laughing Robin. Robin realized this quickly and stopped smiling. The two locked glares for second before Robin smiled.

"Alright, alright, its not you its Beast Boy that almost burns down the tower." Cyborg nodded his head in triumph.

"That's better because we all know I'm the greatest cook in the universe." Again the two young men chuckled. Cyborg reached out and placed his hand on Robin's shoulder.

"Well Robin, I'm going to leave this situation in your hopefully capable hands. The only way for this to be settled is for you to talk it out with Starfire and Raven. Normally, I would kick anyone's ass who broke the heart of either of them but I know that it may have to be done for this chaos to be resolved. I trust you to do the right thing Robin." Robin smiled at Cyborg.

"Thanks man. I'm glad I have your trust in all this." Cyborg removed his hand and began to walk down the hallway.

"Well I'm going to go kick Beast Boy butt in some video games so I'll talk to you later." He stopped suddenly and turned around for a second.

"Oh by the way Rob, regardless of what happens, no kissing until the second date, ya hear me." Cyborg gave Robin a pretty good death glare which did manage to make Robin shift nervously a little.

"Got it Cyborg." Cybord nodded and walked away whistling some happy tune. Robin leaned against the wall, slumping over slightly. Cyborg had helped to make him feel a little better but the question he could not answer still weighed heavily on his mind along with a few other questions about exactly what had happened between Starfire and Raven. I stood up after a few minutes deciding he should talk to Starfire and find out her perspective on the event in question. He slowly walked back into the infirmary, no rush to get there. When he walked in he saw Starfire had not moved and still stood in her spot with her hands folded in front of her. She turned to look at Robin when she entered but quickly looked back at the ground. Robin could tell she was ashamed of something. He slowly walked past her and looked at Raven who still lied in the hospital bed unmoving. He let out a deep sigh and turned to Starfire.

"Starfire." She looked up slowly but would not meet where his eyes would have been though she did speak though quietly.

"Yes Robin." She spoke hesitantly as if she expected to be yelled at. Robin knew he would have to speak carefully with her.

"I would like to know what happened between you and Raven. I would like to know exactly what happened after we last talked." Starfire nodded slowly and began speaking. Robin listened carefully though did not show any emotions as she spoke. He was surprised when she explained how she had come to the conclusion that Raven cared for Robin and was even more shocked by her behavior following that. Robin knew she was possessive, very possessive but this was just crazy. Robin had always been weary of this particular characteristic of hers, knowing that it might be her only bad quality though it was an extreme one. It was just amazing how it had made her turn against Raven who was one of her best friends, so quickly and the things she had said to Raven. Robin never knew she could be cruel in anyway and yet she had been. He himself felt guilty because he was responsible for this in a very direct way. He knew Starfire would have been very hurt after their last conversation and should have been there to help her deal with it, should have made an effort to be clear with her on what was going on. Starfire eventually finished and Robin could see tears forming in her eyes.

"I'm very disappointed in you Starfire." She again looked at the ground.

"As you should be Robin. I have behaved most poorly and Raven was hurt because of it. The entire time I have stood here I have calmed down and realized how terrible I had been and I am sorry." Robin studied Starfire carefully, looking for any sign that she wasn't being sincere but could not find anything. She was truly sorry for what she had done.

"I'm not the one you need to apologize to Starfire." Again slowly nodded.

"Yes. I must apologize to Raven though I doubt it will matter. She will not want to be my friend anymore after how I behaved toward her and despite everything, I am still upset at her for loving you and do not know myself if I want to be her friend." Robin cringed on the inside. A friendship probably had been destroyed because of all of this. A silence formed in the room as Robin thought carefully. He too owed Raven an apology. She had suffered the most in all of this.

"I think you should leave Starfire. I'll wait with Raven until she wakes up. I'm pretty sure she won't want to see you when she wakes up." Starfire nodded and floated out of the room leaving Robin with an unconscious Raven. He grabbed a chair and sat down next to her bed. He studied her small, prone form. Bruce had been right, she was an exotic beauty. Both Starfire and Raven were beautiful young women though if you described Starfire as an angel with her stunning beauty, then one would describe Raven as a dark angel, no less beautiful, but in a darker, quieter way. Robin yelled at himself when he found himself studying her body. What kind of person checks out an unconscious friend. Of course in a way he had already seen her without any clothes on. The dreams he had seen from her were rather vivid and detailed and clothes weren't one of the things present. Robin felt himself blush slightly as a few choice images flashed in his head. He shook his head trying to clear it as once again focuses on his problem at hand. What exactly were his feelings on all of this, what were his feelings toward these two girls.

He thought of Starfire. He had not been lying when he told her all those things when she was trying to make him jealous earlier today and he would be lying to himself if he said he didn't have some type of feelings toward that girl. But could it really be called love? That he didn't know. He looked at Raven's peaceful face and smiled. It wasn't very often he saw her being so peaceful. What did he feel about Raven? She was like Starfire in a lot of ways. She was kind, gentle, and caring though it wasn't as obvious as with Starfire. Of course in other ways she was completely different than Starfire. Starfire wasn't dumb but rather naïve. Raven on the other hand rarely needed things explained to her and could carry on an intelligent conversation on numerous fascinating topics. She was funny and didn't find it necessary to try and fill silence with pointless chatter. He highly respected the dark bird. However, just like with Starfire, was it love? Again he didn't know. He was suddenly pulled from his thoughts by movement from Raven. He watched as her eyes slowly fluttered open, though they didn't seem to focus on anything right away. She seemed to grimace slightly, probably because of the headache that had to be there. Eventually she seemed to take notice of the fact that there was a person sitting next to her and her eyes slowly drifted over to Robin. He wasn't sure how she would react to seeing him because she hadn't seen him since all this started, since he had tried to keep her away from him to protect her, since he had made terrible mistakes.

"Welcome back to the world of the living Raven." Robin smiled at her but Raven had no expression. She only stared at him with her large, amethyst eyes. Nothing was said for a little bit.

"I guess I owe you an apology and an explanation Raven. First I want to apology to everything I said to you. It wasn't right. You see I tried to deal with this situation the wrong way and everything just went from bad to worse and then there was Starfire and I dealt with that wrong and then things got even worse and then you two were fighting and…." Robin was cut off by Raven.

"Robin your rambling is not helping my headache." Robin could see Raven giving him the smallest of smiles, just enough to let him know she was joking with him.

"You can explain to me later Robin when I'm more aware." Robin smiled at her.

"Alright Raven. I think I can do that for you."

"I think I need more rest so I'm going back to sleep Robin." Robin nodded with a smile. Raven closer her eyes as Robin got up to leave. He was a few steps away when Raven called out his name. He stopped and turned around.

"Robin, I do have one question for you. Could it ever be possible for the handsome prince to love the ugly witch." Robin felt his heart stop. Did Raven really believe what Starfire had said to her.

"Raven, I don't think you're a witch and I most definitely don't think your ugly." The whole time she hadn't opened her eyes nor moved but Robin could see the faintest of smiles on her face from his words.

"Rest well Raven," and with that Robin left.
