"What is this? A new chapter? A short new chapter?"

Yes. Yes it is.

Shorter than I thought it was, actually. Try not to think less of it for that.

(I do not own the Teen Titans)

An almost overpowering feeling of gloom hovered over Raven's head as she leaned against the door frame. She watched Robin lying in the medical bay and, with an uncharacteristic show of worry, she sighed. Cyborg hadn't turned away from the beeping, blinking machines that informed him of every twitch, every spike, and every possible miniscule defect in the sleeping boy. As for Starfire, well she hadn't left Robin's side, period. He had collapsed four hours ago, Cyborg had determined that it had been a stress attack. Well duh. In the time between then and now, Raven had scolded herself at least a few hundred times. She mentally reviewed every emotion she had noticed up until a point, and realized that she really, really should have seen this coming for days. She felt stupid for passing off those small twangs of stress or anxiety as just Robin being… well… Robin. In her defense, the boy did angst an awful lot. Especially since you'd think a guy dressed like that would be pretty cheerful.

Raven shook her head to rid it of her random musings. She figured she probably should leave the room… she could now, without a doubt, feel Robin's stress; in fact, she could almost see it hanging over him. It was his current, invisible enemy. It was a dangerous, powerful enemy, as enemies go. The stress from him alone, even unconscious, was enough to create a foggy feeling in the room. Unfortunately, he wasn't the only one with immense feelings. Anxiety and worry seeped out from Cyborg's half-metal body and a mixture of sadness, confusion, and fear wafted from Starfire. Hell, the young empath could feel uncertainty and frustration coming from Beast Boy somewhere else in the tower entirely. All these feelings grew stronger and more pressing as time wore on. The sun had set a few hours ago, but the darkness outside couldn't compare to the suffocating, chaotic darkness in Raven's head. Nothing but horrid thoughts filled her; she began to grow unclear which feelings were hers and which she had just picked up from someone else. She grew increasingly uncomfortable, slightly dizzy. Without a word, she turned her heel and strode out of the room, calmly walked to her own quarters. Once she was safely inside, with the door slammed shut she took a breath and closed her eyes. She could still sense their feelings, but she felt better in the security of her own room. As she floated into a meditative position, another wave of concern washed over her mind and she cringed.

"Great," She scoffed, slowly drifting into her own world. "One of us has a breakdown and we all start losing it"

*sniffle…* that's all I got.

I'm workin' on the reactions of the others, but its slooooooow goin'. Me bein' a sloooooow writer and all.

I really am honestly sorry for the length. Usually when an author takes that long to update, they're finishing a whole novel or something

But not I! Writing is a process. Also, I'm lame. I would still love a review. Ideas are welcome. So are corrections, I didn't Beta.

Thank you much.
