Disclaimer- I do not own the Teen Titans.
It was day 4, but for the Titans, it felt like 4 weeks. They still couldn't find a trail that could take them to Raven. Robin's only comfort was Starfire; Beast Boy and Cyborg were most of the time looking for Raven rather than giving him consolation. Well, that was what Robin wanted them to do, find Raven. But, he also wanted someone to get him, to hold him up, to take care for him during this process, to comfort him, to give him advice; he just needed someone to be there for him. And that, was Starfire. He was giving up already, and Starfire could see it. So instead of telling him not to give up, knowing that would just piss him even more, she just accepted it too.
Something was growing between them two. And no one was ever expecting it.
For Raven, day 4 was her best day. She was getting better, and was gaining trust and frienship with Red X.
First, they had a small chat while drinking tea.
Second, they had a small practice (reviewing what she learned yesterday).
Third, they looked for wild berries in the woods.
And Fourth, they had an honest chat. Just what Raven needed to hear. She got surprised for what he told her.
"I know you are a good person X but, why do you steal?"
"It pays even more for what I received on my usual work. I have a beautiful house thanks to that."
"But you're fugitive of the law, you can't ever be in peace."
"Oh no? Then why I am so calm in this place, without so much noise, without troubles or anything a 'good' person doesn't have."
Raven didn't know what to answer. That was a good point. She remained speechless.
"Not talking huh? Well whatever, I'm just telling you. I'm a freedom kind of person. I need to be in peace. I need to be alone sometimes, even thought that isn't so good but, it pays off. I need to be with myself, without any troubles. And when I worked, I didn't had any of those things. I started this new 'job' I would tell, since Robin (himself -Jason Todd was the second Robin) is dead, I'm starting a new life without depending on someone or on any duty. "
"You know what? You're not the only one. Even thought i'm not completely alone. But I'd rather be alone and I must protect the city, I want to be good. Even though I know i'm bad." Raven said, in shocked for what X had just said.
"Bad? In what way Sunshine?" Red X asked confused.
"Too complicated."
"So you're not alone at all? Who you're dating." he said, seething to know.
"Um..it's Rob-" Just when she was about to finish up, he interrupted.
"Bird Boy?" He said chuckling. "I expected more from a girl like you, I have to say. But if that's what you like, your choice."
"Whatever." She said in her own monotone.
She the started to think what was happening between the Titans. She still didn't earned so much power to make a psychic connection from far way from the Tower. But she knew bad things were happening. Very bad things. She could sense it a little.
