Raven suddenly registered what Robin had said.
She spun around to face him, rare strong emotion displayed on her face.
Instead of stopping and facing him, however, she found herself being pulled into his arms and into his strong embrace. Her immediate reaction was to pull away, but somewhere in her subconscious she realised that this was what she wanted.
She pulled Robin closer and reached her lips up to his. All of a sudden, they were kissing. The exact thing that Raven had been dreaming about for the past few weeks had come true in a matter of seconds.
After a close minute or two, Raven was the first to move out of their embrace. She looked quickly away, as if she was guilty or embarrassed.
Robin quickly moved towards her and put his arm around her as she sat down. 'Rae, what's wrong?' he asked, sounding worried. 'You've been like this ever since your 16th birthday last year. Is it something about Trigon? It was horrible, but he's gone now and we're your family. Would it really hurt to show some emotion?'
Raven sadly looked at him and then looked back into the fading sunset. 'Yes.' She murmured. 'It would hurt. It could kill.'
