Okay, so this is the edited version of 'Bets' so I hope you enjoy. There isn't a huge difference between this one and the other one. I just made it easier to read.


The night was cold, dark and peaceful as Raven sat on the edge of the roof of Titans Tower. She sat there thinking of her new future, the end of the Trigon, had ended no longer than 24 hours ago. She had full control over her emotions and still hadn't show them. She was afraid of what her friends may think of her.

"They'd get freaked out. I've never shown emotions before, so why should I start now." Raven thought sadly. "Would they ever think of me as the same person I was before? Or would they abandon me? Will I be the same person as I used? Or should I just run or hide? What should I do?" Raven said the last thought out loud and didn't know someone was watching her.

"Well, what do you want to do? Raven, you have your whole life ahead, you don't have to worry about it now. The future will decide where you go from here, and only you can decide that future." Robin stated. Raven was shocked he was there, but quickly recovered.

"You do know that we just defeated Trigon the Terrible, shouldn't you be out you know celebrating?" Raven asked.

"Shouldn't you?" He countered.

"Well, maybe, I was meditating and didn't want to be near anyone." Sarcasm practically dripping from her voice, "besides no one likes me."

"How about we change those opinions then?"

"Oh yeah how much do you want to bet you can do it?"

"How about a smile, laugh, and 25 dollars?" He asked amused by her shocked expression.

"I don't know that sounds a little pricey, hmmm, what about just 50 dollars and no smile or laugh?" She asked with hope in her voice.

"How about a no, come on, it's either this or you tell me what you were thinking of before. However, I would like both." He stated with courage, looking into her eyes.

"Fine, I was thinking nobody liked me, that's it." Raven said, then lowering her voice whispered "And I can feel and express my emotions freely." Robin for his part was shocked, he didn't really even think of an impact on her like that!

"Raven, everyone cares about you and respects you, oh and theres one more thing." He said with a smirk forming on his face.

"Wow, they really think that?" She looked at him astonished and he smiled. "What's the other thing by the way?"

"Oh, I won the bet, you smiled and I changed your opinion. So, by order of the bet, now you must laugh." He commanded.

"Hmmm no, I think I'll do this instead." With that said she leaned forward and kissed him sweetly on the lips. When she pulled back saw his shocked expression laughed and walked downstairs.

After she left, he pulled a hand up to his lips and smiled before he followed he thought one thing.

"I'll have to make more bets with her soon."
