Author note: please read

I know it's been a long while since I've updated anything on here. But now I'm back and I'm going to be working on this fic and possibly another one starring these two birds because I've been inspired by Teen Titans Judas Contract.

Anyway for future reference I'm gonna have trigon speak up as well but that will be in bold Italics since he'd trapped in the gem.

Thanks for Reading. And a huge thank you to everyone who left reviews or comments. They really help knowing that people want me to continue writing.

"No it's just Starfire has been looking for her for about 2 hours now with no luck. While you have been in your room almost all day and know exactly where to find her." Cyborg said with a small smirk playing upon his lips.

Damian's POV

"Yea well she obviously doesn't have the capacity to figure out that Raven is probably hiding from her and those horrendous fashion choices of her's." I told Victor as I continue to walk past him.

"Uh yea. Well let Raven know about dinner alright." Cyborg said as he just stood there.

"Ok." Was all I said as I continued on my way to give Raven her book back. Soon I made my way outside to where I saw Raven meditating. She looks quite peaceful. I walked over to her and decided to wait until she was finished, so I sat in front of her.

Raven's POV

I sensed another presence approaching me and was on guard, but then immediately relax as I recognized it as Damian. He and I have gotten close over the past week. Which was admittedly weird because neither of us were very open about well anything, but we somehow came to a silent agreement. We have similar interest in literature and our not so perfect childhoods not to mention a few other things and our disdain for Beastboy's horrid sense of humor. Kindred spirits. I smiled at the thought. Ahh I can feel him staring again. I guess I'm done for tonight. "Did you need something from me?" I asked in a calm monotone voice.

"I'm just here to return your book. It was an interesting read." Damian said sliding the book towards Raven.

"Glad you could enjoy it. Before you came I didn't really have anyone else to talk about..well much of anything. I mean Starfire is nice and all, but she's overly positive and not very deep, Jaime was dealing with the beatle, that would've only left Beastboy. Enough said." As I spoke I could sense something I hadn't felt off of Damian before an uneasiness or perhaps apprehension. "Is something wrong?" I could just read his mind, but he wouldn't appreciate that and I don't want to ruin what I have between us. Wait...what I have between us? There's nothing there why did I even think that?

Why you do most things with these humans is a question I ask everyday?

If I wanted your opinion I'd ask. My relationships are none of your concern. Not that I have any. I mean not like that but.. Wait I don't need to explain myself to you.

These humans are only useful in one aspect daughter. You've become weak by being around them.

NO they are my friends MY FAMILY. They've done more for me than you ever have and I won't let you speak about them that way.

Damian POV

Raven had asked me if something was wrong. I should probably give her an answer, but she seems to be having a kind of internal battle and I won't interrupt her. I know I hate having my thoughts interrupted. Thoughts huh? Could she have read my mind, but she wouldn't do that not after the first time right? And that was only because I was injured, but I should confirm that she isn't. Right? "Raven?"

"Yes?"

"I just wanted to ask if you were okay you seem not yourself just then." I tried to say without letting my concern spill into my tone.

"It was nothing just my father voicing his unwanted opinion. I just have to ignore him."

So that's what it was"well it's getting late. I'm going to head back in to do some training." I got up and stared at Raven for a minute she seemed jumpy like she had more to say. When her eyes met mine I turned and started to walk away "Oh and Cyborg was looking for you wanted to know what you wanted for dinner" was the last thing I said before heading back into the tower. I didn't see Raven for the rest of the night. As I spent most of the time training and sorting through my thoughts. It was around 1 am when I had made it back to my room and got a call from Nightwing. I walked over to the bed and laid down.

"Do you realize what time it is?" I say just wanting whatever this conversation will be about to be over quickly. Why did I even answer the phone?

"Okay I get that it's late, but I need to know how you feel about japanese food?"

"Sooo you call me at 1 in the morning to ask my preference on food? What's this about grayson?" I asked even though I had a sneaking suspicion.

"Can you just cooperate for once and answer my question. It's not that difficult a simply yes or no. Besides there's still more to plan so I need to know now."

"More to plan? Grayson I'm in no mood to play games with you at such a time. Now unless this has something to do with father I'm hanging up."

"Damian hey wai.."

I didn't let him finish his sentence as I hung up the phone. I'm in no mood for whatever he was going on about. I turned off my light and closed my eyes as I drifted off to sleep the image of Raven on the ferris wheel appeared. Okay so maybe I won't be going to sleep for a while. I sighed sitting up in the bed.
