"Let me go!" the Raven girl screamed as she thrashed in Kyd Wykkyd's arms.

Kyd Wykkyd was getting annoyed with the girl. He just saved her life and he wasn't even getting a thank you. He sighed in exasperation and dropped her, making her hit her head on the concrete.

"Ouch! That hurt!" she yelled after him, rubbing the back of her head as she stood up.

Kyd Wykkyd shrugged. You told me to let you go, he told her telepathically.

"That wasn't what I meant!" she yelled.

He shrugged once more. Eh.

"Gosh! Do you have to be so rude?!"

He smiled. Yes. I do.

"That was a rhetorical question!" she yelled.

Do you HAVE to be so loud? He asked with a slight smirk on his face.

"Yes," she hissed.

He stepped closer to her, his eyebrow raised and a smirk on his face. That was a rhetorical question.

She stepped back, shoving him lightly. "That's not the same."

Yes it is. It's EXACTLY the same. He said, taking another step closer.

"What are you doing?" she asked, suddenly nervous.

Well, aren't you gonna thank me? He asked.

"For?" she asked, not sure where he was going with this.

Why, saving your life, of course. One more step closer.

"Ha!" she scoffed. "YOU? You're a villain."

So? Villains can't save lives? He asked mentally.

"No. They can't. That's why they're villains." She corrected him.

Villains have a good side too, you know. He said, looking away from the dark-haired beauty, not wanting her to see his disappointment.

"No. I don't know." She said taking a reluctant step towards the dark teen. She lifted her hand to place it on his shoulder then thought better of it and put her hand back at her side. She turned around and began walking home. Looking over her shoulder, she said "thank you".

You're welcome. He thought/said.

With that, she flew back to Titan's Tower where the others were waiting. He watched her fly off before teleporting back to Hive headquarters. A slight longing to go after the girl, but he ignored it.

When Kyd Wykkyd got "home", Hell was waiting for him. He was ambushed with questions by Mammoth and Seemore.

"Where were you, Wykkyd?" that came from Seemore.

"Yeah. What he said." Ah, that one came from the tiny-brained Mammoth.

Finally, the leader—so to speak--, Jinx, walked in. "Wykkyd" she said. "Walk with me."

No thank you. He replied.

"You don't have a choice," she said, using her powers to MAKE him go to her.

Once in the hallway, she turned to him. "I know where you were."

His eyes grew wider. He hadn't sensed someone watching him with the Raven girl, let alone JINX. He swallowed. Y-you do?

She nodded, a smirk on her pale face. "Raven" she said, the name angrily rolling off of her tongue.

He sighed at the name. Raven, he thought. The pink-haired trickster raised her eyebrows and her smirk grew wider. "I heard that," she assured him. "And if I were you, I wouldn't be thinking like that about a titan."

He stared into her evil eyes. She was right. He shouldn't be thinking about a teen titan like that. Not now. Not ever. But he couldn't help it. He liked the demon girl, Raven. And he hoped that she liked him.

He nodded and turned to walk away but not before Jinx told him the worst thing he ever didn't want to hear. "You think about that hoe again and I'll get rid of her myself. And you know I will."

He swallowed and took his first steps away from Jinx. "Oh, and Wykkyd?" he reluctantly looked over his shoulder. "Good night."

Yeah, right he thought.
