Taking Certain Falls:A Raven Love story

Raven sat in her room, staring into a hard leather bound book. The book was a book that she had picked out earlier, seeing as how she had already read all the other horror stories she had randomly assorted in her room. She became weary of reading a somewhat boring story and walked into the dank hallway. She checked the clock ' I should not lose track of time like that anymore '. She rubbed her head and moved out into the hallway, moving into the kitchen and going to the fridge. ' Once again Beastboy forgets to get rid of obviously old food ' She didnt bother touching the food but turned and moved to the sink. ' Maybe some hot tea will be good for me right now ' She poured some cold water in it and placed it on the stove. As she let the water come to a boil, Robin walked out into the kitchen. Raven stared blankly at him then returned to the hot water. ' Dont pay attention to him. Out of sight out of mind ' Of course she was lying to herself, she had strong feeling's for Robin and always has thought of him even if she hadnt wanted to. "Oh Hey there Raven." He went over and sat across from Raven. Raven looked up from her tea and looked over at Robin blushed a little "Hi..."

"Raven I need to ask you a question...Its sorta a big one so..." Raven blushed ' His he going to do what I think he is going to do??? ' Robin raised a brow " Anyway...Do u think that...maybe... " Before Robin could finish his sentence Raven blurted out " Yes! " she smiled and danced around inside, causing her tea to become disturbed. " Really! alright then im off to ask Starfire out! Thanks Raven you helped alot! " He turned and ran out of the kitchen into the hallway heading for Starfire's room. Raven's Heart fell to the ground and felt like it had been stepped on. ' He...wanted help asking out...Starfire...THAT...ARGH! ' The tea kettle exploded and flew out onto the couch. ' Thats it im going out, I need to clear my head. ' She poured her tea out and walked out of the tower. She walked into a small cafe. ' I cant believe this...this entire time...he liked Starfire...He was the reason I stayed with the Teen Titans...My world is shattered...' Raven ordered a drink and was still pondering Robin and Starfire together.

As Raven got her drink, the bell on the door entering the cafe rang. A boy about her age entered with a backwards black hat and long black hair. His eyes were blue and he had on a pair of black shorts and a red shirt. ' Wow...' Raven thought to herself. The boy ordered a drink then turned towards where Raven was sitting. ' He cant think that he is going to sit with me!!! ' The boy sat turned away from Raven. Just as he sat down Raven's mind begin to pound as if someone was trying to connect with her. ' Hello..Hello...Hello...' Raven shook her head ' What in the world? ' Just then the boy turned around staring into Raven's eyes. ' Hello... Yes, I can talk to you through my mind, may I sit with you? ' He smiled at this last part as his drink order was filled and placed at her table. She didnt answer him, she just nodded lightly. He got up and moved to the table. " Hey..." she held her monotone voice and replied " Hey..." Raven put on her hood, she was blushing but couldnt let him see. " So...Your name is Raven..." he closed his eyes and sipped his drink. " Yes...and your name is Tetrix..." He smiled, but still had his eyes closed. " Ah I see that im not the only one with the power of the mind..." he opened his eyes, but they were glowing with a blue mist. " There is no reason to hide your face... " Her hood glowed with the same blue mist then lowered itself to her cloak. " Raven...I can tell your in pain over Robin and Starfire, am I correct? " Raven blushed almost matching his red shirt

She didnt answer but just slightly nodded. " If its any help at all, they wont last long. " he sipped his drink and again closed his eyes. " Right now they are getting ready for a date later tonight...How would you like to get Robin for yourself? " He opened his eyes again, This time there was nothing but his regular blue colored eyes. ' I would love nothing more than to be with Robin over Starfire...But how can this guy help me? ' Tetrix chuckled " I can help make him jealous...But it would mean you going out with me tonight...If you havent dug deeper into my mind already, then you wouldnt know that im a criminal " Raven looked up almost shocked " Since you are a criminal...I have to strike a deal first...You help me get Robin and give up your life of crime, and I will insure that you have a spot on the Titans. Do we have a deal? " She held her monotone voice but hardly could contain the excitement of getting Robin back. " Deal..." He got up and walked to the door ' Meet me at the plaza down the street in two hours...you can communicate with me via your mind... ' Raven sat there stunned by what had just happened. " I just made a deal with a criminal to get Robin back...I would do more to get him back, but if this is all thats required than im up for it " She set some money on the table and walked out of the cafe. She had to prepare for tonight, the night that Starfire would feel the pain of losing one that she loves.
