Everyone in the T-Tower were feeling extremely low about loosing to the blue unknown villain. The morning's positivity had completely vanished. Raven was currently working on healing everyone, Starfire had fainted but was awake now, Robin was just bruised all over, Cyborg had managed to reboot himself, Beast Boy was also bruised with a bloody nose from where Cyborg toppled onto him. She herself has quite a few bruises and cuts that were mostly the doing of the wave that ripped her shield apart. That was the main thing that bothered her; what was that wave and now did it manage to get through her powers?

Once everyone was healed, she placed herself on the sofa, head in her hands. No matter how much she thought, she could not figure out what it was. She felt guilty that she could not protect her friends. Suddenly she felt a hand upon her shoulder, and when she glanced up she saw it was Robin, smiling lightly at her.

"Hey, don't worry about it, we will get him next time," he tried to assure her, and as she glanced around the room she realised she probably looked the most devasted out of all of them. BB, Star and Cyborg were sitting in a group, discussing what had just happened. She looked back up at their leader and nodded once.

"I'm sure we will, it is just his powers that I am worried about," she explained.

"It is not the first time we are against someone with powers, I'll try and get some more information about the guy and hopefully I can figure out what his powers are so we are ready for next time."

"Thank you, Robin," she replied as she stood up, and they gave each other a quick hug. The rest of the group looked up from their conversation, and smiled. They were glad at least Robin knew how to cheer Raven up, because not all of them always managed. Beast Boy's ears drooped slightly though, and he got up and walked over to his two friends.

"Yeah, he came to us when we didn't expect it, we will be prepared this time," he said, trying to sound as convincing as Robin. He must of failed miserably though, as Raven barely looked at him and turned around to exit the Common Room.

"I'm going to my room," she said before opening the doors and leaving.

"I'm gonna need to charge, see y'all tomorrow," Cyborg agreed and followed her out. Beast Boy watched them leave, he did not want to go yet though. With a sigh, he plopped himself back down on the couch, grabbing the remote and pressing a button that made the TV flicker to life, and then went through many channels until he finally found one of interest. He was not focusing on the movie anyway though, he was thinking of Raven. Why could he never make her smile? It seemed everyone had some sort of bond with her and could cheer her up somehow, but whenever he tried she would just get annoyed with him. They always seemed to argue, hardly ever get on and he had to apologise to her constantly for every little thing he did. He could live with that, if not for one fact - he had a crush on her. It was not one of them tiny, I-find-you-attractive crushes either, it was a proper crush, he loved almost everything about her, and found her attractive as well. He had this crush since they were teenagers, and now he was about to turn twenty in just over a month. Both of them grew and changed quite a lot, their jobs changed, their teammates changed, everything seemed to have changed in some way apart from his feelings for her. Including that they were one of his best kept secrets.

No one could find out about this, he knew them well enough to know how they would react. Cyborg would laugh at him every time they were near each other or even in the same room. Starfire would not be able to keep her mouth shut and probably tell everyone, including Raven. Robin might use it against him somehow, he just didn't feel comfortable confiding in him. Of course he would not tell Raven herself, he was convinced she hated him and would probably kill him. How he wished that she would like him back, however he was pretty sure she liked someone else. Possibly Robin since they seemed to understand each other very well, even though he was going out with Starfire. She could like anyone but him. Sighing, he tried to push all of those negative thoughts aside, it sure was not helping in anything right now.

Robin was at his new computer-like device he used for research, clicking and typing things non stop, determined to find any useful information that would help them with their mission. Cyborg had made this machine himself, and they all must admit he done a pretty good job with it, it helped them in many situations so far and they only had it a couple of months. Robin would spend long hours on it if something was up, but since they had it they never once lost, so God knows how long he'd be on it tonight. He always got very worked up if something did not go to plan, and all the titans hated it because he'd become antisocial, obsessive and rather grumpy until it was sorted.

One titan hated seeing him like this the most; Starfire. Star hated that he would even snap at her when she only meant well, and that he would order her around like she meant nothing to him. And when she went to bed she was alone until the first few hours of the morning when he usually decided to stop for the night and go to sleep. Though she wasn't quite sure he would go and join her at all this time, so she waited on the sofa, curled up and doing her best to not fall asleep. To keep herself occupied she did either of the following; watched TV, watched Robin work or talk to Beast Boy, which all proved boring and did not do a very good job at distracting her from how sleepy she really was. She did not understand how he did not get bored or tired of doing this intense research, she knew she certainly would.

It had just gone midnight when Beast Boy could barely keep himself awake and decided it was time to head to his room. As he got up, he noticed Starfire with red, exhausted eyes and felt sorry for her, knowing she'd stay here all night waiting if he did not do anything.

"Hey Starfire, I'd go to bed if I were you," he whispered to not disturb Robin, holding her hand to keep her awake, "you don't know how long he's going to be here and we don't know when Arion is going to attack again, we must be ready."

"No, I must wait for him, I am sure he will be done soon," she replied, even though it was a lie; she knew he would not be done for the next few hours at the very least.

"Star, he'd rather you sleep and save your energy than waste it on pointlessly watching him all night," he told her and she looked at the ground. He saw she was not about to follow his advice so he let go of her hand with a shrug and headed to the doors, saying a quick 'good night' to both titans.
