"Me?" Robin asked dumbfounded.
"Yes." Raven replied.
"H-how long have you felt this way?" Robin asked sitting back down on her bed.
"It's hard to pin point, I suppose it was after the day I told you all about... that day." Raven looked down. She saw no need for her hood to be up so she took it down.
"I-i'm not sure what to say." Robin told her.
"You can go. I wasn't planning to tell you, and I certainly don't think you feel the same way. We can just forget I ever said anything." Raven suggested.
"Is that what you want?" Robin asked getting frustrated. He did feel that way about Raven, he had for the exact same amount of time. He didn't tell anyone except for Cyborg, because he didn't think she would feel the same. He forced himself to have feelings for Starfire because he knew he should.
"If you don''t feel the same than yes. I wouldn't our friendship to be compromised by awkwardness." Raven told him.
"Raven-" It was now or never, Robin had to tell her. He took a deep breath. "I do feel the same. I have for just as long as you have. I've never said anything because I didn't think you would feel the same." Robin explained.
"Well that's surprising..." Raven trailed off. But she knew that this would cause problems, if they did anything about their feelings. "Remember how you said that you couldn't be with Star because all you could be was a hero?" Raven asked. Robin shook his head. "We can't be together, it would break Star's heart, and the team would suffer for it."
"I know." Robin told her. "I should probably go though, we both need our sleep. Are you going to be okay?" Robin asked her.
"Yes, I don't think Trigon will be sending me more dreams tonight." Raven told him. He shook his head.
"Good night, Raven." He kissed her forehead and left the room.
"Good night Robin." She replied when he left the room. Raven let sleep take her, her dreams were no longer scary, just odd. She dreamt of the red hawk, the natural enemy of the raven.
That morning she awoke before everyone else. She wasn't feeling so down, even though they only had six days left. Robin cared about her and that is all that mattered. Raven looked through her robes and decided on wearing her white one. She looked at herself in the mirror. She thought she looked okay. She opened her door and walked into the kitchen.
"Good morning." She greeted the Titans. Cyborg looked from her to Robin and shook his head. He got up and dragged her out of the room.
"Listen, Robin told me everything and I think what you two are doing is wrong." Cyborg explained.
"We aren't doing anything about it." Raven told him calmly.
"Exactly, do you really think it's fair to either of you or to Star to live a lie?" Cyborg asked. Raven peeked into the kitchen and saw Star giving Robin a kiss on the cheek he smiled at her but as soon as she walked away his smile turned into a frown.
"No I don't think it's fair." Raven told him.
"Then do something." Cyborg advised. He walked away and she saw him stop by Robin, apparently giving him the same speech. Raven walked in and sat down next to Beastboy. She initiated him in some small talk. It wasn't long until she heard Starfire scream. She looked around to see that Robin and Starfire were no longer in the room. She saw green flashes of light coming from the hallway. She flew into the hallway to see Robin fighting her.
"Star stop! I don't want to hurt you!" Robin yelled.
"Hurt me? You already have done so by feeling love for Raven!" She shrieked.
"Star I'm sorry! I can't help my feelings, no one can!" Robin apologized hitting her with the pole. She flew back and hit the wall. She slid down the wall and then stood back up. Her eyes flared not green, but red. Robin's eyes widened. Raven aimed her hands at Star.
"Azarath, Mentrion, Zinthos!" She yelled. She hit Star clear in the back. Star fainted and Beastboy caught her.
"What is going on?" Beastboy yelled.
"We'll explain later. Get Star in the no power room, we need her to calm down." Raven ordered. Raven helped Robin up.
"Are you okay?" She asked.
"I'm fine." Robin told her. "I just hope Star will be."
"She'll be fine, she's not the first Alien teen to go through heart break." Raven told him.
"That's just it, I don't think people on her planet know what heart break is, at least not the boyfriend dumping girlfriend kind is. They're marriages are arranged and they have no say." Robin told her.
"She'll be fine." Raven said. "But if she's not we can always blame Cyborg." Robin laughed at that.
"So where do we stand?" Robin asked. Raven shook her head.
"I have no idea." Robin held out his hand.
"Let's try this." Robin smiled. Raven smiled back and took his hand. But then a horrible realization struck her, six days. She had to tell him. She stopped walking and pulled on his hand.
"What's wrong?" Robin asked.
"My birthday is in six days." She told him. He started smiling and then the realization hit him.
"Six days? That's it?" He asked.
"Yes." She told him.
"We have a plan don't worry. I won't tell the titans until the day of." Robin told her. She shook her head.
Starfire didn't come out all day. They each tried to get her out of her room at one point. When nightfall fell Raven went to the rooftop, this time awake. And this time she did hear footsteps and she realized she didn't have a Trigon triggered dream. She had a physic dream. She turned into a Raven and hid in the shadows. She saw Starfire walk up and stand in the middle of the roof, waiting for something.
"I'm surprised this wasn't a trap." Slade said standing next to her. Raven's eyes widened, she was going to join Slade.
"I no longer wish to be a Titan, all but Beastboy have betrayed my feelings. I wish to join you." Starfire explained. Raven glared at her.
"Well this may hurt just a little." Slade put his arms on Starfire's shoulders. An orange glow emitted from her as she began to rise. A flash of lightning hit her as she screamed. Raven flew up to her in her human form.
"Starfire! You don't have to do this!" Raven shouted. But it was too late, Starfire's skin was blue and her clothes were black and orange, just like Slade's. Starfire opened her eyes, which were blood red.
"You fool, how dare you cross paths with me." Starfire send fire at Raven, she missed it but not by much. Slade floated up to join them.
"Six days Raven, six days." He whispered as him and Starfire disappeared. Raven flew down to the roof and sat on her knees.
"Raven!" She turned and saw the team running towards her. Robin kneeled down next to her.
"What happened?" He asked.
"It's Starfire... she joined Slade! I tried to stop her. But they disappeared." Raven told them. She stared up at the night sky. Robin put a hand on her shoulder and she looked at him.
"I'm sorry." She told him.
"It's not your fault." He told her wiping away a tear.
"That dream I had last night was not a Trigon dream, it was a physic dream. I'm surprised Trigon hasn't contacted me yet." And then something hit her. "And if I had a physic dream, then why was Black Raven in it?" She was asking questions out loud. She knew that Robin must be confused so she explained her dream to him.
"I'm not sure. But I have a feeling we are about to find out." Raven looked at him confused, when a red hawk landed in front of them. The hawk morphed into a girl, a girl who looked exactly like Raven, except her hair was black, her eyes were yellow and she wore a red cape.
"Hello sister." The girl spoke to Raven.
