"Why did you lie to friend Robin?" Starfire asked.

"Why, why? I'll tell you why. We don't tell her because telling her would mean her going into a depression, and trust us...she is not the same when she goes into a depression," Wally stated,  waving his arms animatedly. Then, slowly he stopped, feeling sad for his sister.

"But, wha-?"

"No, it's not worth the risk of telling her. Now leave it be." Roy said, interrupting Cyborg while shooting him a small glare, arms crossed.

"Why, we are her friends too. We can help if she feels hurt or sad" Beastboy said with his hands on his hips, glaring at the two male redheads.

"You may be her "friends", but WE are her brothers. We were always there for her. Not you, US! DONT STAND THERE AND ACT LIKE YOU CAN HELP HER, WHEN YOU PROBABLY CAN'T EVEN  COMPREHEND WHAT SHE HAS GONE THROUGH. THE PAIN, THE LOSS, ALL OF IT, WITH US BY HER SIDE." Wally stated, his voice slowly rising till the point he was yelling, red faced, eyes full of anger. He glared at the others who couldn't even begin to understand what the three have gone through together.

The Titans stare at the speedster, shocked that he was so serious. They had never seen him anything but a goof. Speedy stood by Wally's side, trying to calm him down with a comforting hand on his shoulder and a small smile, his eyes soft as he stared at his younger brother.

"We, we are sorry. We did not mean to disrespect you. We apologize for crossing the line" Starfire said, hanging her head in shame. The others did the same.

Roy sighed. "Listen, we are taking Roxy out for a bit just to try to, you know, cheer her up. When we come back, this conversation never happened. She may be 12 years old, but she is the second greatest detective on this planet. She can read any of you like an book" Roy said, leading Wally out of the room, not sparing the others a single look as the doors closed.

"You know they are right."

Everyone turned to look at Cyborg, whose mechanical fist tightened so hard you would think they would break from the pressure. Cyborg was looking down with his head lowered as if he couldn't face anyone at the moment.

"What do you mean?" To everyone's surprise, it was Raven. She hadn't spoken in a while and they sorta had forgot about her.

"I mean, they are right. We don't know her like they do. We didn't grow up with her. We didn't even know she was a SHE until last night when she accidentally messed up and let her guard down" Cyborg said, shame and guilt written across his face. And he was not the only one. Everyone was ashamed that they didn't know much of there fellow teammates and their pasts.

"Then what do we do?" Beastboy said, looking up at his best friend with a kicked puppy face.

"There is an old saying, "If you love something, set it free, and if it comes back it is yours to keep." Raven said in her usual monotone voice.

The twins chimed in, "También dicen que un ave no está destinado a ser enjaulado , pero está destinado a ser libre y volar ." ( A/N: I used google translate for this and the twins said, "They also say that a bird is not meant to be caged, but is meant to be free and fly.")

"So then, what do we do?" Bumblebee asked after translating the twins quote.

"The only thing we can do," Cyborg said, looking at the others, his eyes full of determination. "We set Robin free."
