Beast Boy and Raven both had not been seen for over a week now. Cyborg and Crystal were both in Crystals room setting up a new computer. Starfire was outside the tower flying around. Robin sat in the kitchen, a full bowl of soup in front of him that he just made for lunch. No one in Titans Tower had cooked all week. Cyborg could go without food, being as he was half robot, Raven and Beast Boy were determind to stay in there rooms, Crystal always went out for meals and Starfire did not require food daily. Robins soup was the first cooked thing in about 1 and 1/2 weeks. Robin was too annoyed to eat, so he sat stirring his food. It was hard to lead a team of Titans that would not speck to each other, only Starfire tried to stay happy, but even she found it hard.
Robin was still stirring his soup when the door opened behind him. He did not turn, whoever was, he was mad at, so he just continued stirring his food around.
"Something smells good" Ravens voice said behind him. Robin jumped.
"Raven! Oh, sorry, I just though you were someone else." Robin said stupidly.
Raven gave him a strange look, as he turned on the kettle to make tea. "Like who?" She finally said.
He was about to say Beast Boy, who he was almost positive it was, being as Beast Boy could hardly resist food but he did not think it was a good idea to bring up Beast Boys name, so he said Cyborg instead.
She poured her tea and sat down across from him. "I almost hate to ask...."She said, her words were very soft, and spread out, "But. . . why did Beast Boy. . .say. . ." Her voice drifted off, clearly not wanting to repete his words.
Robin hesitated deciding if he wanted to lie to Raven, or tell her the truth. "Crystal found a way to bring Terra back and. . . Well it required your powers. He wanted to go to Slade for help, and he got mad when we said no." Robin said, hoping Raven did not return to her room from the news. Robin bit his lip waiting for a response.
"Oh..." Raven said quietly, raising her hand to bring the jar of sugar floating over to her with a spoon close behind.
Robin waited for a response then after a few seconds realized Raven was fighting of laughter. "What?" Robin said.
"For the leader of this team, you're really not very observant." She said, adding the sugar and stirring the tea with her powers.
"YOUR POWERS! Oh! They are back! How did you- When- That's great! I -" Robin started spitting out whatever came into his head to say, not caring that it did not make sense.
"I searched every book in my room, until I found a really old book I had not read in years. Inside, was an inscription from an old friend of mine who moved to Earth around the same time I did, last night after everyone went to sleep, I called him up. He said it was normal, and that now that I am older, my powers were stronger, and I lost them for a while; they were building strength. That is also why I got sick, my powers were constantly at work in a way, I was overworking my self." Raven said, going a bit red in the cheeks at the last part.
"That's Great!" Robin said and without thinking about it, he hugged her. She kind of got tense, then relaxed. Once he let go, he noticed her cheeks were a bit pink. "Should I go get everyone and tell them?" Robin said, walking towards the door.
"NO!'' Raven yelled causing Robin to jump. He turned around and raised an eyebrow, "I . . . kind of don't have full control yet. I don't know if--"
But her words were cut off as Beast Boy ran in, his eyes focused on Robin. "Robin! Crystal just said that if we want to help Terra, it has to be done now or else she can't help at all! Theres a time limit thingy. We have to get Raven to help! I don't care what we have to do, we have to help Terra!" Beast Boy said, starting at Robin so hard, Raven did not think he even knew she was in the room, until Robin moved aside, revealing Raven.
"Raven please!" Beast Boy said, "Look in your weird books, there has to be something that you can do! Please!"
Raven looked angry and shocked as Beast Boy got on his knees begging her. Raven looked at Robin hopefully, but Robin did not help her at all.
Cyborg could not have picked a better time to walk into the room in Ravens opinion.
"Raven." He said as he enter, but he quickly ruined Ravens relief, "Please, could you try to help Terra. For the team, if you can't, it is fine, but, it is important to the Titans, and it would really just be an effort that counted."
"Fine," Raven whispered. And the Titans left the tower together.
