"No one could ever take your place."

It was three months after the defeat of Trigon and a month after the trouble in Tokyo. This indicated that Raven has been crushing on her leader for three months and has been heartbroken for a month. Complicated feelings right? Raven has a crush on her fearless leader since they defeated her father. She used to think he's only a close friend. But he went through Hell to save her without any doubt or hesitation.

She thought the emotions were not quite functioning right after the defeat of her father and needed some time to get used to it. But she was wrong. It was not her emotions' problem. She seemed to find out she's in love with him but she was not so sure. She felt butterflies in her stomach every time he touched her. She doubted if he would return her feelings.

About a month after the defeat of her father, she finally realized she was in love with him. Head over heels. She felt fire whenever he touched her and the heat would never leave. She never told him, she was pretty sure he would not return her feelings. It's like the whole Jump City knew he and Starfire have 'a thing'.

But that's not the point. 'The real kiss' was. She was heartbroken when she saw them kiss in the rain, with her own eyes. It's like a nightmare. A nightmare that she would never forget. She could not let herself to be jealous with Starfire. After all, she was her best friend. She tried to put it down, but she could not. She could only watch them living as a happy couple while she cried herself to sleep every night.

She was sad, lonely and broken. There was nothing she could do. Robin would properly tell her he didn't think of her more than as a friend and then things would all go awkward the following days if she told him. And day by day she watched them, night by night she had the nightmare and woke up to cry herself back to sleep.

There was one thing that nobody knew about her. She liked singing. Yea, singing while playing guitar. Who knew the mysterious sorceress could play guitar? Her room was sound-proofed. So that no one could disturb her with noise while she was meditating. And that was why nobody knew and nobody heard her singing.

And now, she was lying on her bed awake. She looked at the clock on her nightstand. 1:58. She could not sleep, like the other nights. A song suddenly popped in her mind and she jerked up and slowly grabbed her guitar. She sang in her smooth voice with feelings.

You talk to me, I laugh 'cause it's just so funny

and I can't even see

Anyone when he's with me

He says he's so in love

He's finally got it right

I wonder if he knows

He's all I think about at night

He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar

The only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star

He's the song in the car I keep singing

Don't know why I do

You walk by me

Can he tell that I can't breathe?

And there he goes, so perfectly

The kind of flawless I wish I could be

She better hold him tight

Give him all her love

Look in those beautiful eyes

And know she's lucky 'caus-

'Rrrrrrrrrinnnnnnnnnnnnnnnng' the crime alert interrupted her singing. A few moments later, someone knocked her door. "Raven, troubles!" Robin's attractive voice called out.

"Coming!" she cried back.

Soon all the Titans were in the main room. Robin was checking with the computer while Beast Boy was still half-awaked on the couch. "Yo wake up, man." Cyborg grabbed the changeling's shoulders with his large hands and shook him until he was fully awaked. "I'm up!" he cried once he was back in reality.

"Robin, who is the villain causing the trouble?" Starfire asked.

"Dude, what time is it now? Don't they need to sleep?" Beast Boy yelled, annoyed.

"Red X." Robin growled.

"Perfect." Raven said sarcastically.
