Hey, what's up? I can't believe how many reviews I'm up to now. Last time I checked I think that I was at 40.
Has any one seen what the old Teen Titans comic books were like? I was on google, looking for picture of the current Titans because I want to learn how to draw them. I then come across this picture where it the comic book Titans, and boy, it was scary. Raven…was a blond. But you know how Starfire is all about girl power and she gives off this wholesome image? Well, by the ways she's dressed, she looks like a total tramp! She has this purple thong like thing on with two strips of fabric covering her breasts. Gross!

Richard sat outside the hospital room where Raven had just been put in after surgery. Vic had arrived a little while after. He gave Richard a look as if he understood what was going on.
The doctor then came out. Richard stood up. He shook the doctor's hand. "Now, concerning Ms. Roth, she lost a lot of blood, but she most likely will make a full recovery. It should only be a matter of time before she wakes up. You can go inside if you want," she said before she walked away.
Richard looked at Vic. "You can go in while I wait out here." Vic said as he sat back down.
Richard smiled as he headed into the room. He was surprised to see Raven looking out the window. He bit his lip as he walked in. "Hey," he said softly.
Raven looked at him for a moment before she looked away. "Listen, Raven, I'm sorry that…"
"Richard, I really don't want to hear your excuses. The point is is that I protected you from being killed, and you left me. Then you stabbed me when I tried to explain what was going on. And yet you maliciously attacked me. I thought that after what happened it should be the other way around," Raven explained coldly.
Richard looked back at her. "You have every right to be angry at me. Heck, I'd understand if you wanted to kill me right now, which I really hope you don't. But for my own sake, I need to tell you want happened. Okay?" Richard answered.
Raven rolled her eyes and turned her head towards him. Richard smiled as he sat on the edge of the bed. "Okay. I guess I will start from, well, waking up in the hospital." So he began to explain everything up to the part where he thought that Raven had been Kori instead.
Raven nodded every so often. When he finished, she looked down at her hands, almost like she felt guilty before she looked up at him. "Richard, why couldn't you just wait to tell me that? Why did you have to leave me like that? When you wake up from a month's sleep and realize that the only man you have ever loved has left you, something snaps. Did you ever think about how hard that was for me?" Raven said as tears began to pool in her eyes.
Richard shook his head. "Of course you don't," Raven said coldly. Richard dropped his head, knowing that this wasn't helping.
"Look, if that's all, I'm going to get out of here. There's someone that wants to see you though." Richard said as he stood up and walked out.
Raven wouldn't even look at him. As Richard walked out silently, he realized that he had just screwed something very important over.

Richard was lying on his couch reading the paper a few days later. Vic hadn't come home after that, but Richard didn't care. He didn't care about anything anymore.
He jumped when he heard a knock at his door. He got up slowly and walked over, not expecting who was standing there to be there.
"What do you want now?" he sneered.
"Actually I came to apologize," Raven answered.
"I don't need it," Richard said walking away, but leaving the door open.
Raven walked in. "Richard, I'm sorry. Vic explained the whole thing to me. Although you did leave me…why you did it was very sweet," Raven said with a small smile.
Richard turned around. "Really?" he asked. Raven nodded.
Richard seemed to open up a little more. "Is there any way you can forgive me for stabbing you accidentally?"
Raven looked at him with a hopeful look in her eyes. "We'll just have to see about that…"

Raven looked at herself in the mirror. This was her first time on an actual date with Richard. And this was also where she was going to have to tell Richard why she became Ebony. She was nervous about that, but she was mostly nervous about going on a date.
She sat on her white couch. She placed her head in her hand. "This is so stupid. I'm acting like I did back when I was sixteen," she said a loud.
"Being sixteen was great," someone said from the doorway. She looked up scared. IT was only Richard standing in the doorway smiling.
"God, Richard, don't do that. You scared me half to death, and you know how much it takes to scare me," she said standing up.
"Yep. Say, by the way, after, do you want to rent a copy of Wicked Scary?" he mocked.
"You better be quiet before I go Wicked Scary on your ass, buddy," she said grabbing her purse.
"You look very nice," he said awkwardly.
"Thank you, but Richard, I'd prefer you didn't go all goo goo like you were with Kori when we were 15," Raven said, giving him a light punch on his shoulder.
Richard smiled, but she still did look really nice, and she wasn't in her normal dark blue or purple. She had on a black blazer with a lacy red camisole under it and long black pants along with black heeled sandals.
Raven saw him looking at her. "You don't look half bad yourself," she said to him as they walked out the door. Richard smiled. This was the Raven he really knew; feisty, sarcastic, and just plain honest, no matter what the topic was. She was acting like she was back when they were in the tower. And Richard was happy about that.

That night had gone so much differently than he had planned. He had expected it to be a nice dinner, but what happened after…it was amazing. (A/N- okay, I'm going to leave this to your imaginations. I know what you're probably thinking, and that's what I would have written, but I'm not very good at that type of writing. If you want to think that they spent the whole night making out, fine with me. Think what you want.)
And every night that followed that one was even better. (a/n- Not in a perverted way. It's meaning that his nights with Raven became more and more romantic.)
But after a few months of seeing each other almost every night, there was something Richard wasn't expecting to come up.
One night, coincidentally on the same day, only 6 years after, of the day the Titans officially split up, Richard was driving to her apartment, feeling unusually confident.
When she opened the door, he could tell by her face that something was not right. "Raven, what is it?" he asked worriedly.
"There's something I need to tell you," she said softly.

Wonder what Raven's secret could be. Is it big? Is it small? Will it affect their relationship? Who knows? I know! Ha! You'll just have to wait and see about it.
