Author's Notes: I think I've got to the point where I have all the readers I'm going to for this fic, so I need a new summary to entice unsuspecting readers. Unfortunately I suck at summaries. If any of you can think of a suitable one I would greatly appreciate it.
Only one part of this is done from Robin's POV this time. I was going to do it as a flashback but then I thought, since it's him telling the story anyway, what the hell.
Just a little explanation for the last chapter since some of you seem to have a problem understanding it. Raven's Anger slashed Robin's back. This created an empathic link between her and Robin. If Raven gets angry, the scars hurt Robin. The angrier she gets, the more it hurts him. The Emotions know Robin will realize this and do something about it. Either by getting Raven to calm down or starting a relationship with her. Either way the Emotions win, because if Raven isn't allowed to get too angry, Trigon has no way of controlling her. Hope that helps.

Chapter Six: Painting the Town
Robin hung up after his call from the Commissioner. The Jump City Police had a metahuman case that they couldn't handle. The officers they had put on it had all turned up dead. Rather than sacrifice anymore of Jump City's finest, it was decided that the Titans should be called in to take care the problem.
Robin sat at the desk in his evidence room and contemplated the task before him, going over all the information the Commissioner had just emailed him. There was only one Titan that could help him with this assignment. Robin turned off the computer and left the room, heading towards the rec-room.
Terra sat alone at the dinning table, idly flipping through one of Starfire's magazines. The picture of someone bored out of her mind. She smiled at Robin as he entered the room before returning to the magazine.
"Where is everyone?" Robin asked, sitting across from Terra.
"The boys went out to get some new video games I think," Terra said without looking up from the magazine, "Starfire is giving Matthew a bath and Raven is meditating."
"I thought she didn't do that anymore," Robin said, more of a statement than a question.
"She only needs to do it once a week now," Terra said, "and she does it with me when we're training but that's about it. She should be finished soon if you need to talk to her."
"Actually it's you that I need to talk to," Robin said, "I need your help."
Terra shut the magazine and focused her attention on Robin, suddenly very interested, "sure, what do you need?"
"I need you to come on a date with me."
It took a few seconds for Robin's words to sink in, "what?"
"Not a real date," Robin smiled, "just a pretend one."
Terra's confusion grew, "you're going to have to explain what you mean."
"The Jump City PD has a case they need our help on," Robin explained, "someone, most likely a metahuman, has been attacking couples in the park, killing the guys and raping the girls before killing them too. The investigation has found that all three of the couples first went to the cinema, then the pizza place, before going for a walk in the park. Because they didn't know how or why the couples were picked, the police put to teams undercover to find the culprit. Both teams turned up dead. Since it seems likely that the attacker is a metahuman the Commissioner has asked for us to find the one responsible. I don't want to involve the whole team, to many people in a covert team is often more of a hindrance. And let's face it; Beast Boy and Cyborg are a little too conspicuous."
"Why me though?" Terra asked, "The other girl's are a lot more experienced than me."
"Two reasons," Robin said, "all the girls that were attacked were blonde and I don't want to take the risk of disguising Raven or Starfire. Don't worry about your lack of experience Terra, I wouldn't be asking you if I didn't think you could handle it."
Terra smiled at what Robin said, "So when do we do this?"
"Tonight," Robin said with a serious face, "we have to get going in about two hours time to keep in time with the other victim's schedules. Make sure you dress like you're going on a real date, we have to make this as believable as possible."
"Well then I need to start getting ready now," Terra said, standing up and moving towards the door, "I want to look my best for my big date with the Boy Wonder."
Robin smiled as he watched Terra leave the room. He got up and made his way towards his own room, he had a few things to sort out before he had to get ready.
"I can't believe this, I liked him first."
Terra looked up from getting dressed when Raven spoke. The vampire sat on her bed in a bad mood, she had been that way since Terra told her and it didn't look like she was coming out of it anytime soon.
"It's not a date Raven, it's a mission to catch a killer," Terra said as she finished putting on her clothes, "if you're willing to put on a blonde wig then you can take my place."
Raven made an indignant sound and folded her arms in front of her chest. "I want all the details as soon as you get back."
"Don't worry you'll get the play-by-play. So, how do I look?" Terra wore a light yellow dress that showed off her figure with a brown leather jacket over it and yellow trainers, a butterfly head band held her hair back and a butterfly charm bracelet adorned her left wrist.
"You look nice," Raven said, her eyes narrowing, "maybe a little too nice."
Terra let out a frustrated sigh as she moved towards the door, "it's a mission Raven, that's it. I'll tell you all about it when I get back."
"Don't do anything I wouldn't do," Raven called out after her, "don't do anything I'd want to do either."
Terra rolled her eyes as she made her way down the hall, raven could be such a drama queen sometimes. She soon entered the garage and found robin already waiting for her. He was wearing a grey long sleeve shirt, a black jacket, slacks and shoes. If it wasn't for the mask he would look like any other moody teenage boy. He smiled as he saw terra approach.
"You like nice," Robin said.
"Thanks, so do you," Terra blushed, "and no offence but how are you meant to fight a metahuman dressed like that when you don't have any superpowers?"
Robin lifted his shirt, showing Terra his utility belt and body armour, "I'm wearing my lucky underwear."
Terra chuckled before tapping the side of her eyes, "that's going to ruin the looking into each other's eyes portion of this pretend date."
Robin touched his mask before shaking his head, "I forgot I even had it on."
Terra couldn't help but stare into Robin's deep blue eyes as he peeled his mask off. 'Raven was right,' Terra thought, 'his eyes are beautiful.'
"Ready to go?" Robin asked as he handed her a helmet and straddled his bike, which had changed colour from red to black.
Terra nodded, putting on the helmet and jumping on behind Robin. With a couple of reeves of the engine, the bike shot out of the Titan's garage and off into the city.
"It was an okay film as far as action films go, it was just so unbelievable."
Robin and Terra walked out of the movie theatre towards the pizza parlour across the street. They had just finished watching the Batman movie, the latest attempt by Hollywood producers to cash in on people's love of superheroes. But since they didn't know who Batman really was and he kept himself out of the public eye, they had to make a number guesses about him and his abilities. A number of poor guesses.
"I mean who would believe you could get powers from being bitten by a genetically engineered bat" Terra ranted, "and those powers, sonar vision, controlling bats with his mind, able to hang from the ceiling."
"It was pretty farfetched," Robin smiled.
"And he was tearing people apart and eating their hearts," Terra continued, "won't Batman be upset that they're portraying him like that?"
"I doubt it," Robin laughed, "the fact that most people will think that's what he's really like, and therefore be more afraid of him, will probably make his job easier."
"At least you weren't in it; I'd hate to see what they'd make you like. Probably tearing criminal's heads off."
"Beast Boy told me I'm not going to be in it till the third film, and even I'll probably be played by some twenty-five year old with more muscles that brain cells."
"I hope they don't try to do a Teen Titans movie," Terra said with a shudder, "they'd probably have me betraying the team and dying at the end or something."
When Robin and Terra entered the Pizza Parlour they sat at one of the tables on the roof area, after the waitress took their pizza and drink orders they sat in silence.
"well since this is supposed to be a date why don't we learn more about each other," Terra said with a bright smile, "we can take it in turns to as each other questions."
"Sure, why not," Robin said, "you go first."
"Okay," Terra said as she took a moment to think of a question, "why did you start crime fighting?"
"Because I've been training for it my whole life," Robin said solemnly, "my mother, whoever she might be, knew Batman, and for reasons I don't know either didn't want to or couldn't keep me, so she gave me to him. Now he couldn't really take care of a baby and fight crime, so he left me in the care of my foster father, an ex-Special Forces Command whose family came from old money. As soon as I could walk I was taught martial arts, gymnastics and how to us my brain. By the time I was eight I had learned every form of martial arts there is and my IQ was higher than most people in university. That's when I was given a choice, I could either go to a special military school, or I could train to be like Batman and really help people, I chose this.
"So as well as training with my foster father during the day, I spent every other evening in the Batcave training with Batman. Within two years I was ready. I put three criminals in the hospital that night. This is all I've ever known. I wouldn't know how to have a "normal" life."
"So you don't know who your real parents are?" Terra asked, shocked by Robin's story.
"Batman knows who my mother is at least. And if I wanted to know I could always ask him."
"Aren't you even a little curious?"
"Me knowing who my parents are won't change who I am," Robin smiled, "but if I ever need a kidney I'll be sure to look her up. What about you? Are your parents normal?"
"My mother is, but my father, well…" Terra was apprehensive, biting her lower lip, "have you ever heard of Markovia?"
"Small European country under royal leadership," Robin stated.
"Yeah well… my father is the king."
Robin was visibly shocked, but that quickly changed to a smirk, "so you're a princess then?"
"Not really," Terra said solemnly, "he won't even admit that I'm his daughter. He sends me and my mother money every month, but I think that's just so we won't tell anyone important that he's my father. Other than that he doesn't want anything to do with me."
"He doesn't know what he's missing," Robin said with a smile.
"Thank you," Terra said with a blush.
Their pizza order soon arrived. They both took some time to eat a couple of slices before continuing with their questions.
"My turn I think," Terra said with a mischievous smile, "why do you wear that costume?"
Robin raised a questioning eyebrow, "what's wrong with my costume?"
"Do you want the whole list?" Terra smirked.
"It was originally designed to keep me on my toes," Robin said frowning playfully, "the idea was if I could move about in it and still not be spotted then my skills would improve and eventually I wouldn't need it. I've actually been meaning to redesign it, make the colours darker and add other improvements. Maybe in a month or two if nothing major is happening."
"Okay, your turn now," Terra said, sipping her drink, "and ask me something big."
"How big?" Robin asked with a sly grin.
"Colossal."
"Okay," Robin said with a knowing smile, "how long have you and Raven been in a relationship?"
Terra had a coughing fit as she breathed in some of her drink. After a minute of coughing and stuttering she was finally able to talk.
"What… what do you--?"
"I know everything," Robin said with a smile.
"I-I don't know--"
"It's okay Terra," Robin interrupted, "I know you and Raven are in a relationship. But I also know that you both like me. Something to do with vampires having a triad relationship so I'm told. I just want to know how you two got together."
Terra bit her bottom lip apprehensively, "it didn't happen over night, I wasn't even really sure how I felt about her at first. I've always known I was bisexual, so I knew I was attracted to her, but that was it. I thought it might have just been the danger thing. Raven gives off the same aura of danger and excitement that you do.
"It didn't help that I didn't know how she felt about me. I'm sure she could sense my emotions during the meditation sessions we had to help me control my powers; I was probably broadcasting them loud enough for her to hear them from Metropolis. But other than idle talking, spending more time with me and smiling more often, she never gave any indication that she felt the same way.
"Anyway about two weeks had passed since you went to Gotham and we were finishing one of our meditation sessions. We had to finish early as Raven needed to go out and feed. That's when we got the alert. Cinderblock was smashing up the pier for some reason and we all had to go and stop him. It took longer than usual as there were a lot of innocent people we needed to get out of the way first. After defeating Cinderblock and helping clear the wreckage he had caused we headed back to the Tower. It was almost three am when we got back and so the other Titans went to bed. When they had left the rec-room Raven collapsed onto the sofa. She was too weak from hunger to make it into the city now. Without a second thought I volunteered my blood.
"Raven was a bit apprehensive at first, but I insisted. I have to admit I thought her biting my neck would hurt more. Raven told me later that vampires have a natural anaesthetic that dulls the pain and keeps the person they feeding off lucid. When she was done she healed me, and before I could say anything, she kissed me. It was soft and nervous, but full of suppressed emotion. Raven told me that because she's a vampire she couldn't tell how she felt for me until she tasted my blood. And to be honest, I didn't know how much I felt for her until she needed me. Our relationship grew from there."
Robin stayed silent during Terra's tale, absorbing all the information. But there was one thing he still wanted to know, "are you going to become a vampire too?"
"I'm not sure yet," Terra shrugged, "we've talked about it, but I want more information about the transformation first. I do know I don't want to leave Raven alone."
Robin thought about everything Raven said as the waitress came over and refilled their drinks.
"Robin…" Terra said nervously, "does-does this mean that you--"
"Don't ask me that Terra," Robin interrupted, "I know what you're going to ask and I don't know the answer yet. I've thought about it and I'm still thinking about it. But there are some things I still need to sort out, personal things, before I can even consider it. I'll give you an answer, just… give me time."
Terra nodded solemnly and they both fell into silence, eating the last few slices of pizza and thinking about what was said. Robin took a moment to look at his watch.
"We have about half an hour before we have to be at the park," Robin stated, "I don't suppose there's anything else you'd like to know?"
"Actually," Terra said with a small smile, "I was kind of wondering how the Titans started. I was going to ask the others but I figured since you're the leader you'd be the best to tell me."
"Well, I actually started the team because of Raven," Robin smiled. Before Terra could question him he continued, "It started about two years ago…"
…The team I had been a part of before the Titans had recently ended. The others in the group had problems with managing their secret identities, defending their home cities and being part of the team. It was eventually decided that we should end the team to give them more time to organize their lives. I didn't have the same problem as they did. My 'secret identity' existed only when I needed to go undercover or when I had to join my father for a charity benefit. When the team ended it just meant I had more time to train and patrol Gotham.
About a month after the team dispended Batman brought me up to the Justice League Satellite. Every so often when he was called for a simple brainstorming meeting and there wasn't an emergency going on he, he'd take me up with him and show me the facilities. The view of the earth was the best part though.
I was about to make my way towards the Observation Deck when Batman and I heard shouting coming from the Meeting Room. We both went to investigate what was happening.
Before we could reach the doors they burst open and someone came running out. Raven. I didn't know who she was at the time but I could see she was distressed. She ran passed us towards the Observation Deck without a word. I watched her go before I followed Batman inside to find out what had upset her.
In the Meeting Room Zatanna was in a full blown argument with Wonder Woman. It turned out that Wonder Woman had brought Raven to the satellite to ask for help with defeating her father Trigon. But as soon as Zatanna sensed who she was she started yelling at Wonder Woman for bringing her to the satellite. They hadn't stopped arguing since. No one had even noticed that the source of the argument had left the room.
I stopped listening to what they were both saying. Zatanna and Wonder Woman were both very opinionated when it came to magical beings and how they should be treated. They would be arguing like this for hours if you let them. And no one would stop them for a while, both women tended to turn on anyone that interrupted them. Green Lantern learned that the hard way.
I left the Meeting Room to go and find Raven. I didn't need to tell Batman what I was doing; he probably knew I was going before I did.
It didn't take me long to find her. She was on the Observation Deck looking at the earth below. I had spent a lot of time there myself. It was a breathtaking sight. I approached Raven and tapped her on the back.
That turned out to be a mistake.
I was blasted off my feet and slammed into the wall behind me; I slumped down onto the floor below. As my vision cleared I saw Raven standing over me. She looked shocked and scared.
"I'm sorry," Raven said, her voice slipping to monotone, "I didn't sense you. Why can't I sense you?"
"Its part of my job," I said as I got back onto my feet, "I'm Robin."
"I've heard of you," Raven said as she looked me up and down, "I thought you'd be taller."
"I get that a lot," I said with a smile, hoping to make her feel at ease, "and you are?"
"Raven," she said and without another word she turned back to the view. I stood next to her and looked down on the world.
"Are you okay?"
Raven let out a heavy sigh before she said anything, "I came up here looking for help. If I have to fight Trigon alone I have no chance."
That's when the idea for starting the Titans came to me. Not only could I help Raven with her problem but I could also be part of a team again, something I didn't realize I missed until I wasn't part of one anymore.
"I'm starting up a team in a couple of months," I said with a smile, "where superheroes our age can get together and train and hang out. You could join if you wanted."
Raven gave me a sceptical look, "what help would that be?"
"Well you could make a few friends. It's been my experience that good friends are willing to fight to the ends of the earth for you."
"I've-I've never had any friends before," Raven said without looking at me.
"I'd like to be your friend."
Raven looked at me and saw how serious I was, giving me an unsure smile, "I'd like that. But if they found out about Trigon being my father…"
"We don't need to tell them any of that to being with," I assured her, "we can just start the team, get them trained and fight crime together. And when Trigon shows up we can just treat him as any other threat."
I could tell she was still a little sceptical so I continued, "And when the world sees you fighting bad guys and helping innocent people, more heroes will be willing to help you. Even Zatanna will be bending over backwards to lend a hand."
"You're smarter than you look," Raven smirked.
"I'll take that as a complement," I took a contact card out of my utility belt and handed it to her, "give me a call tomorrow and I'll send you all the details on where the team's base will be set up. We can figure out who else can join after that."
"Thank you," Raven smiled softly, "I need to talk to Wonder Woman about heading back to earth but…"
"Don't worry about it, I'll go and get her for you."
With our final goodbyes said I made my way back to the Meeting Room, going over my plans for the team…
"…A couple of months later and the Tower was built and we were joined by Cyborg, Beast Boy and Starfire," Robin finished with a smile.
"So… you started the team for Raven," Terra said in awe, remembering to tease Raven about that when she got back to the Tower.
"Helping people is what being a hero is all about," Robin said before looking at his watch, "come on, we better get going to the park now."
Robin quickly paid for their meal, leaving a generous tip, and he and Terra left the Pizza Parlour. The walk to the park didn't take that long, once they arrived Robin and Terra walked leisurely towards the area the attacks had taken place, arms linked to make it look more like they were on a real date.
"I've enjoyed myself tonight," Terra smiled as she looked up at the stars, "this has been one of the best dates I've ever been on."
"I don't have much of a frame of reference," Robin shrugged, "I haven't been on that many dates."
"Really?" Terra's shocked expression turned into a smirk, "I would have thought you'd have a number of notches on your bedpost."
"I said I haven't been on many dates. It doesn't mean I haven't done other things."
Terra's curiosity pecked, "oh, anyone I know?"
"I wouldn't tell you if you did know them," Robin said seriously, "I don't kiss and tell."
Terra stopped walking and looked at Robin, "so… if I were to kiss you, you wouldn't tell anyone?"
Robin looked directly into Terra's eyes, "no I wouldn't."
Without saying anything else, Terra began leaning into Robin, tilting her head and closing her eyes. Robin didn't know whether to respond to her. A part of him wanted to; while another part knew he still had some things to sort out. Thankfully he didn't have to decide.
"Do you hear that?"
Terra opened her eyes to ask what when she heard it. A whistling sound that was getting louder. Before she could even ask what it was Robin pushed her and himself out of the way. Not a second latter a man landed with an all mighty thud right where they had been standing, cracking the ground beneath his feet.
The man standing before them was dressed in a mock Superman costume. He wore long johns that had been dyed blue poorly, with red Y fronts over them. What were once black boots had been crudely spray painted red and what was probably once a mauve curtain was attached as a cape. A large, yellow felt triangle, with a D drawn on with marker pen, was attached to his chest. Terra didn't know whether to laugh or pity him.
"Step away from her villain or face the power of Super Derek," he yelled towards Robin.
"Okay I think I realize what's going on now," Robin whispered to Terra, "this guy has a twisted form of hero syndrome, possibly a persecution complex. He sees me as the villain and you as the victim. Once I'm dead he'll want thanks and justification from you, most likely in the form of raping you to death."
"You know a lot about the mentally disturbed," Terra whispered back, slightly worried about this man wanting to force himself on her.
"They breed them in Gotham," Robin responded, keeping his eyes on Derek.
"Don't listen to his lies, he wants to use you for evil," Derek yelled as he lunged forward.
Robin pushed Terra to the side and jumped out of the way as Derek's fist slammed into the ground where the Boy Wonder was standing. A birdarang shot through the air, slamming into Derek's jaw with a sickening crack. Howling in pain, Derek lunged again. Robin flipped over him, slamming his staff into the base of his skull, and knocking him to the ground.
"Thankfully he isn't invincible like Superman," Robin said as he stood next to Terra, "we need to keep him on the ground. You go in on the left and I'll--"
Terra's eye glowed yellow as she pointed at Derek. The ground beneath became like liquid and his body sank into it. His head and hands were left on the surface as the ground solidified. Derek howled in frustration, shaking his head from side to side as he tried to escape.
"--Or you could just do that," Robin smiled.
"I don't just train with you, you know," Terra smiled proudly; "me and Raven don't just make out when we're alone. At least not all the time."
Super Derek's screams intensified. Robin walked over and hit him in the temple with his staff. His head and hands became lip after that.
"This is why I don't go on many dates," Robin sighed as he got out his phone to call the police, "I always end up having to hit someone."
Robin and Terra arrived back at the Tower an hour later. The police's Metahuman Task Force had arrived quickly to restrain Super Derek and escort him to the jail for processing.
"Well Robin you certainly know how to show a girl a good time," Terra smirked as they made their way to their rooms.
"It's all in the planning."
"I enjoyed it, even the end," Terra said with a frown, "it was… educational."
They both slipped into silence as they walked down the hall. They reached Robin's room and stopped.
"Well I better go and tell Raven all the gory details," Terra shrugged, "if I don't turn up soon she'll hunt me down."
"Thanks again for your help Terra," Robin smiled, "I couldn't have done it without you."
"Anytime Robin," Terra said.
She gave Robin a quick peck on the cheek before walking of towards her own room.
"Anytime."
To be continued…
Author's Notes: A bit of history for this chapter. What I wrote about Terra's father is from the original comics, and how the team started was similar. Robin's history is unique to me however. I purposely left out robin knowing who his parents are as you'll find out in the next chapter. Robin's mother is the same as another DC Comics character who has found out in a current storyline. I thought about doing this before that came out and I'm not going to change it now. Everyone will definitely know Robin's father as it's one of the oldest Teen Titans Fanfiction clichés. Some of you won't like it but I have a few chapters based on this and I can't change it now.
The Batman movie was an idea that came to me a while ago. I thought "I people didn't know who or what Batman really was, what kind of movie would be made about him?" It made more sense than them going to see the actual Batman move, or even one of Marvel's ones.
I just found out that the Brotherhood of Evil are in season 5 of Teen Titans. And I had plans to put them in this fic eventually with my own twist. I will put them in but now I'll have to wait until I have more information on them. I noticed on a screenshot I saw that Psimon is in it too. I'm not going to change mine though as I have plans for him soon.
666RaVeN999: No you don't have a choice. Once you fall into The Omakeer's web there is no escape. Mwa ha ha ha.
Hound Archon: Robin doesn't really have a choice in the matter, if he wants to be with Raven he has to at least accept her being with Terra. Raven isn't going to give up being with one just so she can be with the other. Yeah she's being a little selfish but she deserves to be. She can't drink as much as she wants or she'll kill someone, she has a demon for a father and she's been told all her life she's going to end the world. She deserves to get as much action as she wants. Besides, any guy that says he doesn't want two girls is lying or gay, in which case he's want two guys anyway. And no their won't be a complication to Knowledge's plan, in fact it will help robin in a latter chapter.
DragonMaster4381: Thanks for the review.
PHAOE: I'm glad I can make you smile and I hope I can make it happen again. And they are still human, or at least have human emotions and hormones and so are still susceptible to the same perversions and mental anguish as the rest of us. I didn't realize the chess thing had been used enough to be classed as a cliché. But Robin beating Raven made more sense to me in the end.
Phantom Writer: I explained the bond in the notes at the beginning of this chapter. I hope that helps you understand what I was doing. If there is anything else that I write that you don't understand let me know. I'll either explain in the following chapter of go back and change it.
Midori Aoi: Sorry, I've already got it in my head who Beast Boy's girlfriend is going to be, I've got two, maybe three stories involving her. However if you want I can make you a vampire in the club Robin, Raven and Terra are going to visit in a few chapters if you want to sent me you details. You'll even have a couple of lines. Let me know what you think.
Akanan: Thanks for the review.
-TheAzrathian-: It's not really that I get writers block. I have lots of notes that I sort out for each chapter that have the plot for each chapter. It's getting in the writing flow that I have the problem with. If I get in the flow I can write a whole chapter in one day. Other times I can be in the flow, then lose it, then it can take two to three days to finish. And then some times the flow evades me for days, weeks even. The best thing for me to do then is to go and do something else and wait for it to come. I can be in the middle of a book and it'll hit me, then I just jump on my computer write away. I've actually been using the flow from my Harry Potter fic to get this and the last chapter out. I don't know if I can do that for the next chapter though as I'll have the HP fans out for my blood.
Cherry Jade: Thank you my loyal reviewer, I always get a smile whenever I get a review from you. You were my first for this fic after all. A bit of talking in this chapter about how Robin feels. But we're still at least four or five chapters from them starting their relationship. Hope you can wait that long.
Crzy Grl: A little bit of Robin's POV in this chapter, just because you like it so much. As I said next is mostly from his POV. Chapter 8 I'm not so sure about, if I do it will only be a little bit. Chapter 9 however is all from Robin's POV as he has to deal with his feelings for Raven and Terra and what happens in the next two chapters. As you saw in this chapter Robin and Terra had a little "date" and got the chance to talk more. Hope you liked it.
leader: Technically Robin kissed one of Raven's emotions, not Raven herself, but I'm glad you liked it. And yes Robin is ruthless, relentless, and merciless, though he's still able to be pleasant to his friends, or at least fake it for their sakes. I was tempted to mention Spoiler and that other girl Robin knew that died in the Gang Wars in the first chapter, but robin had enough to think about with his foster father dieing. I might mention her in chapter 9 though as it would be a good reason why Robin is a bit unwilling to start a relationship, (you just full of good ideas aren't you). I'm glad you took the time to read Five Minutes Peace too. Wouldn't we all like those pictures of Wonder Woman.
Lenarta: I should probably think of a few more chapters involving Raven's emotions as they seem to be an underused commodity in the show. I tried to show Robin as having the same kind of dark humour as me. I'm not sure I pulled it off but at least you liked it.
Lnksmartt: Thanks for the review.
HorusRei: I think I have my writers block problem beaten for the moment. I may even get the next chapter out within a week. But don't hold your breath.
ChErRyBlOsSoMs-FlOwErOfDeAtH: Chapter 7 is going to be about Robin's parents more then anything. But as I promised you Raven will feed in that chapter. And all because you wanted to see it.
the-kiss-of-oblivion: I'm glad you stopped lurking and I hope you review again (I like reviews.)
