It was only about half an hour after Beast Boy left when Starfire began to consider his advice about going to sleep and how Robin would not want her tired and weak if anything happened the next day. Sighing, she stood up, and walked over to her boyfriend, putting one of her hands on his back and looking over his shoulder at the computer. Her vision was very blurry and eyes sore so she could not make out a lot, however she wasn't all that interested in that anyway, she just wanted to be close to Robin. He did not say anything, or even look up at her, just carried on with his work as if she was not there. Hurt, the alien girl did not give up just yet, and leaned in and kissed him on the cheek. He did react to that.

"Not now, Star, can't you see I'm busy?" He growled, moving his head away but still not taking his eyes off of the many complicated words and numbers on his massive computer screen.

"I just wanted to say good night as I am going now," she protested, stepping back. He did not reply, so she sadly made her way out of the Common Room and into hers and Robin's bedroom. They shared it for a while now, over two years.

As their door slid open, she flew onto her bed, the door slamming shut as soon as she got inside. She felt hot tears streaming down her soft cheeks. This was the one thing she loathed about Robin, when he treated her like this. Fortunately this did not happen all that often, and the occurrence also went down as the crime rates decreased, however it did not mean she wasn't hurt when it did. Being in love when you had the safety of the world on your shoulders was not easy, especially if your lover could get as obsessive as Robin did whenever something went wrong. Slowly after a few minutes passed she managed to calm herself down enough to stop crying, and she sat up, leaning on the wooden headboard of the bed, cuddling her knees close to her and resting her head on them.

She thought about some of the memories she and Robin shared together. She remembered their first kiss and how shy he was when they first got together, he did not like showing any sort of affection in public, or even in the T-Tower if their friends were around. As time went by he got more confident with the idea though, and now he would freely put his arm around her or give her quick pecks on the cheek or lips when they were outside. Another time she recalled was a date they once had, it was also at the beginning of their relationship and one of their first few dates. Beast Boy and Cyborg thought it would be funny to spy on them and they followed them around for two hours, staying hidden. Then the two shared a passionate kiss, and the boys could not hold it in and revealed themselves by laughing until they had tears stinging their eyes. Robin was so embarrassed he turned to the colour of a tomato, and he immediately dragged them back home and gave them a long lecture on how inappropriate that was of them. Then, once he made sure no one was watching them, they continued their date on the roof of the T-Tower, and it was just as romantic.

Starfire hugged her knees even tighter to her chest, biting her lip. She missed moments like that. Not everything was so serious back then, but now all of them matured, and the others generally stayed out of their business. She did not complain about their relationship now, she loved it and still loved him, but she would not complain if time went back either and they could live through those fun times again. Eventually she sunk back down so that she was laying down, then turned over to the side, shutting her eyes as she held her covers tightly, trying to imagine Robin was right next to her, until she finally drifted into an uneasy sleep.

Beast Boy did not go straight to his room, instead he decided to check on his teammates to make sure they were alright. Since a mission they went through a year and a half ago he got into the habit of doing this when he knew something was up because all but he and Robin got taken at night in their sleep. Sometimes he did this even when nothing was wrong, just to calm his nerves. First he went to Cyborg's room, and he was plugged into the charger as expected, resting. The shape shifter smiled before moving on, knowing that at least his best friend was safe. He reached Raven's room, and for a few seconds he just stood there, not knowing what to do. She did not allow anyone to enter without her permission, but he did not know whether she was awake or not, and did not want to wake her up or disturb her, especially since he annoyed her earlier. Also she did not know about how he needed to check on everyone before sleeping, the only person who knew was Robin, and she might think it odd, which was the last thing he wanted.

Finally he plucked up the courage to do three quiet knocks on the door. If she was asleep she might not hear them and in that case he would leave, and if she was awake she would answer in some way, even if it was telling him to go away. He held his breath for what seemed like eternity to him, but in reality it was less than three seconds. Her door slid open, revealing the purple-haired girl sitting cross legged on her bed, looking right at him. He could not read her emotions, it was half confused and half angry, maybe a bit of sadness mixed in.

"Hey, uhm, I just wanted to say sorry about this morning," Beast Boy began awkwardly, though he knew that she would not accept that as a good enough reason to visit her at this time of night, "also I just wanted to check that you were not over thinking that whole Arion situation." Raven sighed, untangling her legs and letting them hang down from the bed.

"I can't help it, it's not every day something is powerful enough to destroy my shield," she said. He hesitated for a brief moment, wondering whether he should come in or not, and in the end he took the risk and stepped inside.

"It is not something we see often," he admitted, and he must of done the right thing as the door shut behind him, "but I still do not think you should worry about it. We all have our weaknesses."

"I felt like I've failed to protect everyone, we would of been a lot less injured if his powers did not break through."

"This is not your fault, I'm sure your shield at least helped shelter them somewhat, who knows maybe it was deadly and it just left them with a few scratches and bruises."

"You do not understand, but who could blame you."

"I don't understand? I think out of all of the titans I can relate the most, villains always somehow stop me and avoid my attacks, this happens to me way more than it happens to you."

"But you are always so happy, you do not dwell on it like I do, you do not give it as much thought and it never brings you down."

"How would you know? Maybe I just don't show it, you do not know what goes on in my head," he paused for a split second to consider what he just said, thinking about her abilities, however decided it did not matter right now, "maybe I think about it more than you expect, and if you think it does not bring me down then why should it bring you down?"

Raven was taken aback by his harsh words, he rarely snapped at her like this. It was true enough though, she didn't know whether it brought him down or not. She just assumed him the type that would brush it off and forget about it, due to his bouncy personality and the fact that he never mentioned it before. She thought about what to say next, however he was already out of the door. Obviously she had hit a point she shouldn't have. She wanted to call him and say sorry, but then the door slammed shut, and she heard his footsteps as he marched to his own room. Sighing, she crawled to the top of her bed, and put her head on her pillow. There was no way she could focus on meditation now, her mind was occupied thinking of the green changeling, how there was more to him than she knew.

Beast Boy was sitting down on the side of his bed, his feet kicking the mess in his room around. He knew that what Raven said was not all her fault; most people assumed that about him, however it still offended him for her to say that, he expected her to know that even his feelings could be harmed. Fighting back the urge to recall all of the times he failed in battle, he slipped into his sleeping position and closed his eyes.
