Chapter 6
"There's our little bird!" Cyborg cried, as he entered the room, his voice bouncing off the walls. I pulled away from Robin's warm arms to watch the cyborg enter the room. "A heads up next time would be nice."
"Sorry about that." I apologized, ignoring the look of surprise I got. "How long was I out?" I asked.
"About three hours." he answered, while scanning over my medical charts on the monitor. "I assume you went home to get some answers?"
"Yeah," I replied and dropped my gaze to the floor. "I saw my mother actually."
"What'd you find out?" I opened my mouth to explain but was beaten by the serious Robin.
"She has to be become to each of her emotions." Robin explained, and stood up from the bed, raking a hand through his spiky hair. "One by one she needs to become the emotion, accept it before she can she send them back to Nevermore."
"Then you'll get your powers back? Cyborg asked, crossing his arms and staring at me with concern.
"Hopefully." I said, and looked up with a frown. "That's what my mother said." I had the sudden urge to cry again, damn Timid. She's so emotional. The steel door then slid open revealing the other two Titans, Starfire and Beast Boy.
"Oh glorious!" the red headed alien cheered. "Friend Raven, how are you?" she asked, while flying over to my bed side and holding up a mug of what I assumed was tea, or Starfire's version of tea. "Here, I brought you a mug of your favorite hot beverage."
"Thanks Star." I managed a small smile and grabbed the mug, smelling the rising steam. Yeah, there was definitely mustard in this, but I took the mug anyway.
"How are you feeling, Rae?" Beast Boy asked, making his way over to the other side of my bed.
"I'm okay." I answered, then added, "As okay as I can feel."
"We should let you rest." Robin spoke up. I could feel his hard gaze on me which I ignored, while I looked at my concerned friends.
"Can I go to my room?" I asked, directing the question at Cyborg.
"Of course." he said, and began to take wires, and sticky pads off of my skin. "I'll want to run some more test later in the week, make sure everything is okay."
After ten minutes of arguing I managed to convince everyone I din't need help to my room, or in Starefire's case the reading of a bed time story. I managed to get to my room fine with my books in my arms and opened the door with a quick tap on the security pad, before walking in and letting it shut behind me. Putting my books away I climbed into my dark, blanketed bed and directed my gaze out my window, over the sea and at the city. I didn't bother to lie down, I knew it was useless since I was terrified to go to sleep. Who knew what awful dreams awaited me. Trigon, Red X, Malchior, I'm sure they were all waiting for me, to terrorize me. It made my skin crawl at the dark thoughts, the memories I had of them.
Trigon, my father manages to disgust me in every way. I know he's somewhere deep in the pit of hell, but because of him I am the way I am. Having to discipline myself, so my powers don't lose control, like they did before and I lost control. He ruined my mothers life, choosing her as his mate, creating me and leaving Azarath as soon as possible. The people of Azarath have always welcomed me with open arms, like the Monks who cared for me as child, when my mother didn't.
I cringed at the raw memories of my mother almost being afraid of me, when I would cry for her. The monks taught me how to become vacant, in order to control everything, they use to sing chants to me to calm me, or make me sleep. Looking over at my clock it read two o'clock.
"I could really use one of those chants tight now..." I said to myself.
"Cant sleep?" a voice asked, from behind me causing me to jump.
"Seems like I've lost all of my senses." I grumbled, while looking over my shoulder to see Robin stepping through my door holding a mug. I was surprised to see him in what I would call pajamas, gray sweats and a wife beater and not his flashy suit.
"Sorry about that." he said, and walked over to my bed. "What's the matter?" he asked, and handed me the mug, I gave a shrug and grabbed the mug before turning back to the window. The mattress moved to the pressure of him taking a seat next to me and we stared over the city in silence.
"Everything." I replied after a moment, and took a sip of the mustard free tea. "I'm too scared to sleep." I directed my gaze over to him. "What's your excuse?"
"Too stressed, I guess." he answered, running his fingers through his already disheveled hair.
"How'd you know I was awake?" I asked, curiously.
"The bond." I raised my eyebrows in surprise that it's still there do to my lack of power.
"It's still there?" I asked.
"Yeah," he answered. "The walls down, too." My heart skipped a beat at the information. "That's how I knew you were awake, and how I knew you were okay when you were unconscious." he looked over a me with his masked eyes. "I can feel what you feel." I never dropped his gaze as I felt it scanned over my face. "Your fear, the sadness, worry, guilt, I can feel it all." I dropped the gaze and looked at the dark substance in my cup.
"I'm sorry." I whispered, mentally scolding myself for feeling anything. "I should be more careful."
"No," he said, reaching out and touching my arm, the sudden contact almost made me jump. "Don't be. I like it. I feel like I can keep a better eye on you, without invading you." I didn't say anything but looked at his hand that rested against the pale skin of mine. "You can let me in, Raven." he whispered. I knew he wasn't telling me I can, he can already access my thoughts and feelings he was just asking permission.
"You wouldn't like it." I chose as an answer and took another sip of my tea, letting his hand drop to the bed, narrowly missing my leg.
"Let me be the judge of that." he insisted and I snapped my eyes up to his.
"Then let me see your eyes." I snapped, not meaning the sudden lash of emotion But if he wanted to be with in my mind then he could let me see his eyes.
"What?" he asked, surprised.
"You want inside of my mind then let me see your eyes." He didn't respond and I felt my point was proven. "My mind is the only thing I have left Robin. Neither of us trust each other yet, so we need to give it time." I said, then a yawn managed to escape my lips as my eyes grew heavy.
"I'll let you rest." Robin said, grabbing the tea mug and getting up from my bed. But I felt guilty and grabbed his arm, stopping him before he could stand.
"Thanks, Robin." was all I could say, "for the tea."
