Chapter 7: Friend

"Hello." Came a reply.

Raven whipped her head around so quickly that her hair fell into her eyes. She bolted up from the ground, flinging sand everywhere. She hurriedly pushed her hair back behind her ears and turned towards the origin of the unknown voice. What stood before her surprised her thoroughly.

"S-Starfire?" Raven question, she raised a questioning eyebrow as her other eye slightly widened as well.

"Friend Raven, are you.." Starfire trailed off, searching for the right words, "okay." She said finally settling with her choice of words.

"Okay?" Raven asked, her emotions rising back up in her, where should she start!

"I'm sure Robin did not mean what he said." Starfire replied, trying to explain Robin's actions.

"No Starfire." Raven said, her voice lowering in sadness and realization. "He meant every word." She finished and with that she levitated herself from the beach and her moment of escape. Starfire watched as she headed back to the tower, she had a defeated look on her orange-toned face.

"Raven." She said apologetically as she turned away from Raven's retreating form.

Raven phased right through her window to her room, not wanting to face the others. They would just tell her how sorry they were, she didn't want to here that, any of it.

She heaved a huge sigh, unsure of what to do to get her mind off the past events of the day. She glanced around her room, looking for a good distraction. She looked around and around her amethyst eyes settled, unwavering, on her door. She could faintly make out the sound of foot steps approaching. Her eyes widened, could it be Robin coming to kick her out of the titans for good! No! He wouldn't do that, he couldn't, he knows how much being a titan means to me! She pulled her hood up, attempting to hide from the pair of footsteps that were gradually getting louder and louder. She drew back into the darkest depth of her room never taking her eyes off the door. She crouched down silently as the footsteps stopped at her door. The door opened slowly as Raven held her breath.

Light illuminated her pitch black room and Raven withdrew a little more as she felt the cold wall touch her cloaked back. She winced in pain as her still sore back screamed in protest, but she dare not make sound as she continued to stare at the door in wonder. Who would dare come into my room? Beastboy and Cyborg wouldn't that's for sure. She figured, thinking back to the time they had gone into her room and gotten lost inside her mind. She was snapped out of her thoughts when the door opened a little more and revealed who the feet belonged to. Robin!

He pushed the door open all the way, peering inside her room. He scanned the whole room and Raven's eyes widened in horror when his gaze rested on the very corner that she was hidden in. She dare not move, even breath. He would see. He finally sighed, giving up his search. He looked at his feet and raised his arm and itched the back of his head. Raven peered at him in interest. It almost looks like he's sorry! But she instantly dismissed the thought as stupid. She then glared at him, he didn't seem very sorry when he threatened to kick me out of the titans. She became even more rigid when he turned away and shut the door. He hadn't seen her! Her room became dark again as she heard his footsteps retreating away from her.

She stood up again and inhaled, the color returning, somewhat, to her face. That was close. She thought, but then another thought dawned on her, why had she been hiding from him in the first place? Did she really think that he would kick her out of the titans, for good! She didn't want to find out.

Without another thought on the subject she levitated herself into the air and began to meditate, whispering her mantra. A few more hours and she would be completely in control again.

As the time passed Titan's Tower began to grow quiet as midnight began to approach. Raven's room was silent as she had fallen into a deep slumber only moments ago. All the lights were out in the tower, yet someone was still awake, someone still lingered just outside the thick metal encased windows of the giant T-shaped tower.

With expert stealth Red X scaled the great building, easily jumping from window to window until he reached his destination at last. "Ah." He said with glee as his target lay before him.

Raven lay, still in a restless slumber. The darkness encased her blanket covered form, unknowing of the thief right outside her window. Red X fumbled with the switch on his utility belt and disappeared leaving behind a cloud of what appeared to be black static. He reappeared moments later in Raven's room.

Without warning, red lights began to flash and a jarring alarm blared over the P.A. system, though this didn't seem to phase Red-X. Raven bolted upright in her bed, looking frantically around her room to see where the noise had come from. "It's just the alarm." Raven sighed as she swung her legs over the side of her bed, but then realized that she was not alone in her room.

"Hey babe, what's goin' on?" Came a reply that made Raven's heart race.

"X!"
