He stepped in the room, hearing her breathing.

"Raven?"

"Leave."

"Raven, we need to talk."

He stood in the middle of the room, barely able to see her on the bed.

Raven stood up, going towards the window.

"I don't want to talk."

She frowned and felt his presence advance towards her.

"Robin. Go."

He didn't back away, instead he placed a hand on her shoulder, seeing her flinch.

"Raven, please, talk to me."

He turned her around to face him, seeing the fear and pain in her guarded eyes.

She watched as he pulled her hood down, stripping her of her protective barrier.

Her eyes were wet with un-shed tears. She closed them, trying to hold in her emotions.

Robin spoke quietly, regret in his voice.

"Raven, don't make me do this."

When she didn't move, he reached for her left arm. He saw her flinch, but slowly picked up her arm, peeling back her sleeve.

His breath caught in his throat as he saw her wrist. 5 cuts covered her wrist, scarred over.

He looked up to her closed eyes, voice emotionless.

"Raven, I've known for a while, you do know that, right?"

She nodded, even though she was lying. She refused to look at him. Raven felt something soft on her arm, and realized it was gauze.

She felt him wrap it around her wrist 3 times, then tape it.

His words sat in her head, refusing to leave.

"I'm not going to send you away, or keep you locked up in the infirmary. I would never think of it."

She opened her eyes, watching as he rubbed circles with his thumb on her bandaged wrist.

"I'm sorry."

He looked up at her suddenly, surprised.

"Rae, don't apologize."

"Why?"

"I don't want you too."

He pulled her into a hug, feeling her tears on his shoulder.
