Speedy stalked into his room, closing the door as hard as he could. Which, seeing as it slid open on it's own, wasn't very much.

How DARE he? How DARE Robin bring up his past like that? How did he even KNOW? And how DARE he? He'd been teasing, might've been a little outta line, but for him to respond with THAT?

He growled and hit the wall.

He was over it. Completely over it, he didn't need that stuff any more. He closed his eyes and rested his forehead against the wall. The memories were coming back, of that day. The words said, the blows exchanged.

It was over, all of it. This was now, not then.

He kept repeating those words in his head. Maybe he'd actually end up believing them.

Raven had followed Speedy from the nexus to the Tower, after seeing what had happened between him and Robin.

She'd not understood just why Speedy had been so upset by it, assuming it had been some bad joke on somebodies part to make a cover like that.

Chewing her lip she knocked on Speedys door.

"Roy? It's me... Raven. I followed to see if you were okay. Not really supposed to be here without Samus, but I was worried."

He heard Raven's voice, but didn't move.

"It really you?" He called back in a harsh tone. "Or is it the you that'll either try and kill me or try and force herself on me?"

He was being unfair and he knew it. But he wasn't thinking.

She flinched a bit at that and stepped back from the door.

"Fair enough, I guess." She hid the hurt from her voice. "It's just me, no personalities, no agressiveness, just...me. The girl you..date."

He sighed and went to open the door.

"Sorry," he muttered, leaning against the frame. "I...yeah, I'm sorry. Seeing that thing really shook me up, is all."

She stood there, a few feet away giving him his space, she frowned a little bit. "Well it wasn't funny, even if it was meant to be a joke. But I have to be honest, you kind of took it a little too seriously."

She thought a moment. "or is there something more to it."

He sighed and ran his fingers through his hair.

"Eh, you know how we all have...stuff in our past?" he said awkwardly. "That...that thing, it wasn't a joke." He looked at his feet, at the wall, anywhere but at Raven. He didn't want to see her face, the look in her eyes.

She stood there quietly for a moment, absorbing the information. It did indeed come as one helluva shock. Speedy? Her Speedy? She shook her head and tried to gather whatever wits would come.

"Like you said, we all have our pasts. If anything it makes me angrier at Robin for doing what he did." She stepped forward a bit, towards him holding her one hand out awkwardly.

"It's behind you now, right? Whatever drove you to do it, whatever happened, it's all behind you now..right?"

He chanced a look at her and took her hand, giving her a small smile.

"Yeah," he said. "I got over it with someone's help and...well, I won't say that...the thing that drove me to it, I don't pretend thinking about it doesn't hurt, hell, thinking about the whole THING gets painful. But it's over."

"I'd ask what happened. What started it all, but it's not my business and I don't want to upset you." She squeezed his hand a bit.

She stepped closer offering him a hug, pulling her hand away from his to wrap her arm around his shoulder. "I missed you."

He hugged her tightly, wrapping his arms around her waist and burying his face in her shoulder.

"Missed you too," he muttered.

Burying her own face in his shoulder she inhaled deeply. She wished she could think of something to say, but no words would come. It was just good to feel someones arms around her, especially since the arms around her are attached to the one she loves.

"I'm sorry for my idiotic email. I... I had a moment of panic."

"It's not the first time," he whispered, taking a deep breath of her scent. "Raven, just because you go through some rough patches, I'm not going to abandon you. Hell, if anything, I'll stay closer." He pressed his lips to her neck lightly.

She sighed a little and hugged him once more before letting go and stepping back. "I'm not used to this stuff. This whole, having people actually care for me; and you have to admit for as long as we've been dating, we or at least I know hardly anything about your past. I've been getting bits and pieces as you give them to me..and well.. lets face it, who doesn't know anything about me?"

She put a hand on his shoulder. "I'm not the easiest person to talk to Roy, I know it, you know it, the universe knows it. But I'm here, and if you'd like me to go punch Robin for you I can."

She gave a faint smile.

He smiled sadly and put his hand over hers. "Nah, I heard Ollie gave him a whack. And if you wanna know about my past, you can ask. It's not all that angsty, it was just...a rough spot."

"Darn, I was looking forward to punching Robin." She was joking of course.

"I wish I had more time, wish we had more time to talk but I should go." She hung her head a bit. "She hates you, and I'm afraid of her hurting you."

He frowned. "All right. Would she let me kiss you before you leave?" He smiled slightly.
