Chapter 8: A bitter sweet revelation
Raven was alone in Robin's bedroom. She had hoped for this day, to snoop around that is, since last Friday night. The Titans, as they succumbed to every Wednesday evening, went out for some pizza, including Robin. She had, as she always did for the past three years, declined their invite.
Raven silently stepped into the deserted bedroom, when, suddenly, she heard a ruffled noise behind her.
"Azarath Metri-"
Robin quickly placed his hand over Raven's mouth while his other grabbed her wrists and placed them over her head.
Raven was slammed into Robin's bedroom wall.
"Are you going to use your powers if I let your mouth free?" Raven glared at Robin and faintly shook her head.
Pleased with himself, Robin let got of Raven's mouth and used both of his hands to hold her wrists above her head.
Robin could hear, feel more than anything else, Raven's erratic heartbeat as her small chest heaved up and down against his unbelievably thin suit.
"Raven", Robin whispered leaning into her glowering stare, his face barely inches away from hers, "what are you doing in my room?"
Raven tried to free herself; to even try to move, but she couldn't budge, Robin was without a doubt much stronger than she was. Uncontrollably, Raven's heart began to race and her breathing became uneven.
She was sure. So sure, that Robin was who she thought he was.
"Take off your mask Robin" Raven ordered her sinister mauve eyes staring fiercely into the blank white mask in front of her.
Robin was caught off guard.
No, he thought to himself, as a drop of sweat founding its way in his brow.
"What the hell Raven? I never take off my mask. Now tell me what you were doing in my roo-"
"Yes you have…once", Raven alleged, cutting of Robin as he, on impulse, gulped.
"You have," Raven continued, "last Friday, at party light".
Robin shook his head, a loud chuckle escaping his lips.
"That's where you're wrong Raven," Robin angrily stated, tightening his grip on Raven's wrists. "I was here in the Tower. Check the security cameras."
Raven let out a low snort.
"Yeah, that's original. Something you haven't tried before…holograms and whatnot."
Robin let out a defeated sigh and let go of Raven's wrists, turning his back on her.
"Get out of my room Raven," Robin whispered, staring outside his bedroom's window.
"No Robin. I'm sick of this. I'm not a game anymore. Last Friday night we were on the ground, fighting for air-"
"Get out Raven!"
"then the next day", Raven sustained, "you were acting like I didn't know…that I didn't know you were real."
Robin suddenly spun around and grabbed Raven by the shoulders, digging his fingers into her shoulder blades.
Raven didn't wince. It hurt, a lot, but Raven was incapable to accept defeat.
"I was here in the Tower last Friday night", Robin hissed through clenched teeth.
Raven was tearing him to pieces, picking at his flesh bit by bit.
Raven slowly reached for Robin's hands that drew tightly on her shoulders and brought them to his side. At a snail's pace, she raised her right hand and began to trace the outline of his mask.
"They don't know what we've been through. They don't know about me and you."
Robin drew in breath as Raven began to mark out Robin's lips.
Robin shook his head.
"You're just going to hate me", Robin assumed looking straight at Raven, "and were just going to be greater enemies."
Raven laughed, making Robin lean into her palm.
"I know you can't believe it, but I can't just leave you. Leave this." Raven declared.
Robin grunted.
This isn't what I want. What I need.
"Raven!" Robin yelled in frustration, his hands flying in the air, "you don't know what you're getting into. Get out of my room!"
Raven grew nervous. "Robin say it", she said, leaning into Robin's arms.
Crap, he thought, she knows. She knows.
"Say it Robin!"
Being your slave, what should I do but tend Upon the hours and times of your desire? Robin thought to himself.
"Get out of here Raven!"
I have no precious time at all to spend, Nor services to do, till you require, Robin continued, hating his very own thoughts.
"Robin!" Raven shouted, "don't do this to me!"
Nor dare I chide the world-without-end-hour Whilst I, my sovereign, watch the clock for you.
"Raven, I've done nothing to you. I don't know who you think I am but I'm…I'm-"
Nor think the bitterness of absence sour When you have bid your servant once adieu.
"I'm Robin"
Nor dare I question with my jealous thoughts Where you may be, or your affairs suppose.
Raven shook her head. Unable to grasp what she was hearing.
"You're not Robin. Not to me!"
But like a sad slave stay and think of naught Save where you are how happy you make those.
Robin bit his tongue to stop his trail of lingering thoughts.
Stop it, he screamed within, I'm not her slave, I don't wait for her, I don't care for her. I'm Robin. I'm Robin.
He couldn't keep it inside of him anymore.
Robin let go of Red-X.
Without a second thought, Robin reached for Raven's cloak and pushed her out of his bedroom's door, shaking uncontrollably.
"Raven you're just a psychotic girl and I won't let myself get lost in your unrealistic world!" Robin roared, his anger bleeding through his words.
"Robin! Robin!"
Robin slammed the door and fell to the floor, his back leaning against it.
Raven kept beating on Robin's door, her powers ineffective to the titanium seal on his bedroom door.
"Please", he heard Raven cry.
Robin pushed his hands into his face, fighting against struggling tears.
So true a fool is love that, in your will Though you do anything, he thinks no ill.
"Enough!" Robin screamed at himself as he punched a hole through his wall.
"Raven!" Robin yelled, opening his door.
Raven was gone.
"Raven!" Robin called out into the empty, dark hallway.
The roof.
Robin began to run upstairs, hoping he wasn't too late.
Bursting his way through the Tower's rooftop, he saw Raven, staring out into the vast sea.
He ran to her, too fast to think or speak.
Robin placed his hands on Raven's slender waist and twisted her around.
"Rob-"
Robin crushed his lips to Raven's for the third time that week.
He separated her lips with his and began to knead his own tongue with hers, unable to separate even for air. Robin let go of Raven's waist and placed his hands to her face, wiping a small tear with his thumb.
"Raven", Robin mumbled whilst he softly bit Raven's bottom lip, "I'm Red-X".
Unable to speak, or catch her breath for that matter from the kiss, Raven drew her hands to Robin's mask and slipped off the emaciated yet indestructible material off his face.
