*Raven's POV*
For the past couple of days Wally's team have been on their guard around me. But the Teen Titans acted like I was family.
Idon't think this Raven liked me to much, considering Beast Boy kept flirting with me. And I don't think Wally liked it either.
The way they decided to tell us apart was that I wear civilian clothes and go by Rachel. While this Raven wore her uniform and went by Raven.
I was seated at the table drinking my herbal tea when in walked Rob.
"Good morning," I spoke into my tea.
He gave me a calculating stare, "good morning."
An awkward silence falls over us, neither one of us trying to diffuse the tension. I noticed him watching me, yet all I could do was sigh before getting up, placing my cup in the sink, and leaving.
I didn't know where I was going, I just let my feet guide me.I ended up on the roof and at the very edge was Robin.
I felt myself relax a bit, I was more comfortable around him then his doppleganger.
"Good morning Rachel," he spoke without turning around.
"Good morning Robin," I sat down beside him on the edge.
"Wally's team still giving you looks?"
I look down at the ocean below, "Yes.."
He hummed, "I know how you feel."
"How?"
He looked over shocked at my question. "When I went undercover as Red X, I did it behind my teams back. I hurt them and did things I regretted. The moment they found out they were hurt. Angry. Disappointed.. They all thought I didn't trust them to tell them anything.. I kept that guilt with me for a long time. But they eventually understood and let me continue to lead them.. I was shocked, but grateful. They're my family... I will forever be grateful."A silence passed before I spoke again, "but you all had years to build a relationship with. I barely know them.. The only one I know is Wally.. They think I'm going to betray them."
"I guess this is where I come in with my speech huh?" Spoke an unknown voice.
We both turn around and see Jinx standing near the door with her arms crossed.
She stalks over towards us, "Robin, Beast and Cyborg are having their breakfast argument again."
He groaned before standing up stalking to the door. Jinx took his place beside me and waited until the door shut behind him."I was a villain.." She started.
I stared with a knowing look, but quickly hid it.
She saw and giggled, "yea you done know that, but Kid Flash got me away from that life. Much like yours is doing for you. They're idiots, but they'll sacrafice themselves for the people they love."
I get lost in my head, thinking about all the times Wally protected me. "Yea.."
"No one trusted me on the Titans. Much like you all I had was Wally. My Wally. Starfire and Cyborg were the first to accept me. Starfire is always willing to give people a second chance. And I use to date Cyborg..."I don't make a sound, but I give her a perplexed look at that information before giggling, "you and Cyborg?"
"Hey! He's a nice guy, any girl would be lucky to have him."
A few giggles escape, "yea they would, but I'm so used to seeing you and Kid Flash."
"Hmph, yea. Fleet feet doesn't know the definition of personal space. But after that was Beast Boy. He was just trying to stick by Mr. Leaders side. Eventually it was just down to two. Robin and Raven. Robin didn't have much of a choice if he could trust me or not. But he did try and prove that I would turn any second. One day I saved his life and I guess that was an eye opener for him. So lastly was Raven. She said she could still "feel the evil" in me. Whatever that means, I don't know. But I seeked her out as a teacher. To help gain more magical abilities.. And control. She refused, but I insisted. Eventually we learned we have more in common then we'd like to admit. Cause let's be honest. I despised Raven and she despised me. Only reason why I sought them out as friends was for Kid Flash. But in the end it was worth it. I got a new family out if it."
