10 min. later
Dick opens the door to his office. After a moment of scratching his head, he walks over to Raven's personal office nearby and knocks on the door.
"Raven?" he calls before opening the door carefully. She lifts her head from her computer. Her typing on the quarterly report brief stops immediately. He leans against her door frame as he looks at her.
"Yes, Mr. Grayson?" she asks dryly without the edgy tone she gives her fellow employees.
"Where is everyone?"
When she shrugs playfully, a tiny, sexy smile splits on his face.
"Do you care?" she asks with a teasing lifted eyebrow as she pushes out her chair slowly. He shakes his head.
"Let's take a coffee break."
They head to his office because he personally buys all the better brands.
o
50 min. later
Female workers giggle and male workers grin cheekily at the frazzled-looking Raven. She has her arms crossed as she waits beside the working photocopier impatiently, deflecting all the stares she's getting. She doesn't notice that a part of her skirt is still pretty hiked up. The boss has his door closed but his red face and open, white business shirt are visible past the glass wall. That wall was never really good for anything.

X replied: Right... :(
1 min. later
ICAll replied: Black.
*Jason stands up from his cubicle.*
"Yeah, baby!" he cries.
Dick's door flies open. His face is red for different reasons.
"Scott!"
_Rae_ to XxStarxX: This is a bad place.
XxStarxX replied: :D
FIN.
A/N: Lmao, so devious for an office ...romance conspiracy over the company messaging system! ;D Delicious! I wanted to add more characters but then it would grow more chaotic. Sorry if you found it hard to read! I wanted to stay true to the use of email usernames and it made it more fun! But I'm not changing anything so live with it! ;) Unless there's terrible grammar I missed then ...yeah. Lemme know! Lol, did you like? Again, thanks so much to all you guys who made previous reads and likes of my past work. :) If it ever comes to a sexy fic, I'll make them adults or older teens but a word to Jazzy, what does 'mature sans sex' specifically mean? Like naughty without the dirt? ...WOW! Lmao, do you see how I write? My gosh lol!
I loved this idea! :D I know I know I said I'd go back to dark, sexy fics (and I will!) but this funny idea just needed to be shared. Couldn't stop writing after it started -inspired by someone who wrote a similar-styled fic years ago but I can't (for the love of me!) remember who and where. Oh and in case you wondered, I gave Red X the name Jason (for all the users who've used it before and made it stick!), last name Scott (for Scott Menville who voiced the bad boy). And Robin says he sees all, but its ironic that he really doesn't. Lol don't hate!
Same as always, drop me a one-word review and that's all! This is my gift to you guys for the new year and the end of the holiday season. Muah! ;D And again, this is another first for me! :O I've never done a fic IM-style before! Pretty fun. More to come? We'll see. ;)
Happy New Year!
