Someone please explain to me what's going on between Sage and Raven. It seems that ever since Sage has been here Raven's been so clingy and the Raven I know would rather die than show any form of affection in public. I know that Raven isn't jealous after all she told me last night that she wasn't. Could Sage be jealous? No, Sage doesn't look like a person to get jealous besides she doesn't even like me. Wait…but what if she does like me? What am I saying? There is no way in hell that Sage likes me… maybe I just imagining things…hopefully. I gently pushed Raven away and announced to everyone,
"Okay everyone. Cyborg and I are going to run the controls. Sage, you'll be the first one up if that's alright with you."
Sage just smiled and shrugged as she sarcastically said to me
"I find it an honor to be first."
After everyone assumed there places on the course I signaled Raven to press the button that was at the bottom of the hill. It didn't take long for Sage to hypnotize the team and me in her fighting abilities. Everyone was absorbed in the daring dance between Sage and the machines. Sage gracefully dodged and ducked each and every beam that was shot at her tiny form. I laughed as I heard Cyborg exclaim
"Come on Sage cut loose a bit!"
At Sage whom at that moment stopped dodging and sprang about four feet in the air with her signature grin plastered across her child-like features as she let her shadows out to play. My eyes, which were glued to Sage, widen in fear for her as the robot army charged at her. Sage landed without making a sound then she extended her petite arms in front of herself causing her shadows to surge forward. They both grabbed at least two robots each. Sage closed her palms into fists that were clenched so tightly I could see her bones and tendons. She pulled her fists toward herself causing the insides of the robots and her shadows to fly towards her. While she absorbed her shadows she sent a strong roundhouse kick to the fly heap of scrap metal that was aimed at her head. I looked astounded at the timer on the control board. It read that Sage had completed the obstacle course in less than forty seconds.
Sage's smile grew wider as everyone clapped proudly at her. I accidently locked eyes with her and she winked at me and smiled then Cyborg said…
"That was amazing Sage! Okay now who wants to be our next victim I mean who wants to go next?"
Beast boy and Star raised their hands excitedly while Raven…well let's just say if looks could kill Sage and I would be six feet under right now. Cyborg noticed this and said,
"Eeenie, meenie, miney, Raven!"
"It's about time I almost fell asleep watching show off I mean Sage."
Raven stated in her classic monotone still staring daggers at us as Cyborg started the course. Raven wasn't even three seconds in to the course when Cyborg asked me the question I knew was coming.
"What the hell did you do?"
"Nothing that I know of."
"Really because she looked like she wanted to skin you and Sage alive. "
"I realized that."
"Robin are you hiding something?"
"No I just…Cyborg, can I ask you something?"
"What's up?"
"Do you think Sage likes me?"
"What the hell? Are you out of your mind? Raven would you and Sage to the 11th power if she heard you ask this!"
"Which is why I would like you to not say anything."
"I swear if Raven comes after me I'm singing like a canary!"
"Okay. Now can you answer me?"
"Man of course you're like her best friend."
"I mean…"
"Oh…"
"Yeah."
"I think the question is that do you like her?"
"I don't know."
"Yeah you do. You can tell me man."
"I'm serious I don't know."
"How do you feel around her?"
"I feel comfortable like everything is natural between us."
"How do you feel around Raven?"
"Like I'm walking on ice it's like I have to watch everything I say and do."
"Do you think Sage is pretty?"
"Yes."
"Do think Raven's pretty?"
"Raven's not pretty she's beautiful."
"What is the first thing that comes to your mind when you think of Raven?"
"Challenge."
"And Sage?"
"Easy."
"Well Robin from what you've told me. You do like Raven but your and Sage have more of a connection."
"This bad really bad."
"Nothing's meant to last forever Robin."
"But Raven and I are."
"Calm down Robin."
"How can I calm down when I like—Hello Sage!"
"What are you both discussing?"
Sage asked looking genuinely confused. I tried to speak but I failed. Thankfully Cyborg covered for me.
"We are just talking about how great Raven's doing."
"Yeah she's really kicking ass out there."
I added quickly as Sage laughed and said,
"She is probably imagining that she is with fighting me."
"Well in that case I'd better go reel her in before she ruins the course!"
Robin stated running to the battle field at which Raven laid waste to. Cyborg said
"How much did you hear?"
"All of the conversation. Extra sensory Cyborg I'm surprised you did not realize this."
"You like Robin don't you."
"Possibly but Cyborg…do you think that Robin you know finds me attractive?"
"Attractive? Sage when did you grow up the 1600's?"
"That's not important."
"Right. Well all I have to say is stop liking him."
"Why?"
"Didn't you see those eyes Raven gave you?"
"Raven does not concern nor frighten me."
"Whatever. It's your funeral Sage."
"I give her my best wishes due the fact I practically immortal."
Sage said going to join Robin on the shore. She slipped her fingers into Robin's. Raven obviously noticed and I swear I heard Raven's growl from here. This is going to be interesting.
