'Nevermore, again'

This is a slightly different version of the episode, Nevermore, except this time. It's Beast Boy and Robin who go into Raven's mirror.

"I cannot believe this happened!" said Raven as she was walking home from a broken down warehouse. This was just another night wasted by Slade trying to stupify them. "Wanna play Mega-Blasters 4 when we get home Tin man?" This started it. "I will so beat you, little grass stain!" said Cyborg triumphantly. 'Boys' Raven thought irritated.

"Dumb and Dumber, can you please beat this arguement with actions and not words?!" asked Robin extremely irritated that Slade got away again. "Please Robin, do not beat yourself up over Slade. He is, how you say, slimy." said Starfire, sensing Robin's being mad. 'My gosh, could her voice be any more sugary?' thought Raven, her aggravation growing.

Robin and Starfire kissed when they were in Tokyo, but, for some reason they didn't take it any further. 'I wonder if he just doesn't feel the same about her... What if he wants someone else? What if I have a chance now... What the heck am I thinking?!' This caused a trash can, sitting outside their tower to explode. Everyone saw the dark energy and turned towards Raven, she sensed it. "Don't worry, I need to meditate, that's all..." said Raven, more to herself than to her comrades.

With that, she levitated all the way to the roof of Titans Tower and settled. Robin, being the nice, kindhearted guy that he was, went to go investigate. It was around two hours later, that he gained up the courage to go and ask what was wrong. 'Raven is just one of my comrades, why am I scared to talk to her?' 'Heh, she's a comrade, I litteraly went to Hell and back to save from the tyranny of her father. But, that's beside the point.' Little to everyone, even himself. Even though he kissed Starfire, he knew deep down that he wasn't in love with Starfire. What he felt for her was more of a protection type relationship. No one knew that, deep down, he was developing feelings for the dark resident of the tower.

Robin went up the staircase and finally reached the door to the roof. He stuck his head out and saw Raven hovering in her lotus position, chanting her famous mantra. "Azeroth Metrion Zinthos" chanted Raven. A sneaky little plan crawled up into Robin's head and he decided, what other way to cheer up someone, than to make them laugh? Seemingly undiscovered, Robin inched his way to Raven, bent on scaring the heck out of her. He was almost there.

'Does he think I'm stupid' thought Raven as she pretended to meditate. Raven really finished her meditation session right before Robin came up, but decided to play along with the chirade... for now. She was really planning something of her own.

Robin finally was standing right behind her floating form, and was about to pounce, when... Suddenly, Raven phased through the ground, leaving Robin awestruck. Robin felt a prescence behind him and turned around to find Raven's monotone expression. "Heh, you knew I was here, didn't you? said Robin, feeling more emberassed than ever before. "Yes Boy blunder, I knew you were here even before you thought up this little chirade. You've lived for me for so long. Yet, you didn't know I could feel prescences?" asked Raven, slightly irritated at her leader's stupidity.

This caused Robin to blush, when he remembered the beginning when the Titans banded together.

FLASHBACK

"and that is about all" said Starfire, listing her known super powers. "Uh huh. Raven, what can you do?" Since this was before she learned how to open up, she said up-and-said, "Empathy and Mind Control, need I go on?" "Is there anything else, new friend?" asked Starfire, oblivious to her frustration. "No, that's all" said Raven. She didn't like naive people.

END FLASHBACK

"Remeber?" asked Raven, obviously liking Robin's uneasiness. "Yeah... I do" said Robin, not looking up. Raven smiled slightly and said, "What did you really come up here for?" Robin, remembering why he came up here in the first place, asked, "Why did your powers go out of control on the way home? Are you okay?" 'Why does he always have to put on that rock hard expression every time he asks someone that? Must mean he isn't going away until he gets an explanation.' Noticing this, she thought quick to think of a lie. Just one she shouldn't have said. "Boy troubles..." said Raven, wishing she hadn't. Robin lifted one brow at this. "What?"

Knowing she couldn't get out now, Raven went against all odds and repeated, "Boy Troubles." 'Since when does she have boy troubles? Since when does she even think about boys? Could it be?' thought Robin, turning his focus to his thoughts. Raven noticed his expression and knew he was lost in thought. She took this oppurtunity to slip away. She phased through the ground, without Robin noticing.

Robin came out of his dream-like state and saw Raven gone. "Someone needs to put a tracking device on her." thought Robin aloud.
