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.
