Meeting

Two pale hands flipped the deep purple hood backwards. He was greeted with an unexpected sight. She was beautiful, young, but beautiful none the less. The way she spoke… she sounded much more mature than she should. He got the feeling that she'd had a past. Well, they all had, but judging by her stoic nature, hers was a little more intense than most.

Her amethyst eyes rolled over the four of them. They were strong, calm and deep, extremely deep. The young leader notice how little emotion she portrayed in her face. If you looked hard enough, it was in her eyes. She was nervous, he could tell.

Her face was heart shaped, which made her seem warmer, he thought anyway. It was such a contrast to her harsh pale skin tone. Her eyebrows were perfectly shaped, with an arch that made her whole look much more powerful. Her cheekbones were high, creating a beautiful contouring shadow in the hollow of her cheeks. Her lips were plump and soft, completely her face so gorgeously.

She was the complete opposite to Starfire and not in a bad way. Kori was… beautiful, yeah, but this girl was attractive. There was something so captivating about her. Her presence was definitely notable and it gave off such a powerful vibe. By what he had just witnessed, she was powerful. Very powerful. She would be an asset to the team. He didn't know her at all, but this strange sense of trust seemed eating away at the wonder boy's thoughts.

They were staring at each other now. She was very clam about the situation. Well, that was the vibe he was getting from her. Her eyes were still saying something different. They were still depicting nervous. Could she control emotions too? He felt way to calm about it all.

"Are you doing that?" He asked suddenly.

She looked startled by the question. "Doing what?" She replied as her eyebrows moved slowly into a slight frown.

"My emotions…" he began, "our emotions," he furthered, taking a step forward.

Her eyes dropped to his feet. Maybe the step hadn't been such a good idea. She looked back to him. A ripple was sent through his body. Whoa. He wasn't sure what it was, but he felt like she was looking into his soul. Like she was looking through him, like she poking around through his thoughts. It was like he could feel her presence in his mind. It was an interesting feeling, slightly bordering on the line of invading, but it was without judgment.

Her mask cracked. Her face fell into her version of embarrassment. She had realized what she was doing. He felt her presence leave his mind.

"Sorry," she apologized, dropping his gaze again. "Habit."

Trust issues came to mind within the young leader. She was different. Completely different. She looked at him again. Whoa. That look got him every time. It was just so.. emotive, without giving anything away. That trust feeling was nibbling at him again. Something in his gut was telling him that she was reliable, strong, stern, calm and trustworthy. He could trust the girl.. and that seemed to be the only thing that mattered right now.

He didn't know anything about her. But it was okay.

He smiled. "What's your name?" He stepped forward again.

She took his advance well, standing still. She seemed to soften. "Raven," she replied deeply.

"It's nice to meet you, Raven," the colourful costumed boy replied, putting out a hand.

"Likewise," she paused, "Robin." With a slight hesitation, she took the friendly gesture.

A strange feeling filled the young leader. Those same thoughts filled his head again. She was so powerful. The way could affect people so easily astonished him. For someone who's powers were based off emotion.. she had hardly any. No. He took that back. She felt emotion like everyone else, but she hid it. She hid it far from view. This girl's heart was locked away from sight. He could understand why.

Wait. How did she know his name? Ha. Trick question. Everyone knew who he was. He was Robin, side kick to the Batman, now, leader of the Teen Titans. He had the feeling she knew a lot more than just his name though.

They were still holding hands. He scoffed on the inside, amused.

He liked her. She was complex. But her intension was simple. He knew she just wanted to be good. He wasn't sure why, but he could feel it.

"Welcome to the Titans, Raven." His voice was soft, like silk.

He thought he saw a slight smile tug at her lips. She nodded.

He got the feeling she didn't talk much. He predicted that she was going to take them on a long journey. A life defining one. For some reason, he knew she was going to play a vital part in his life. Their handshake broke slowly.
