Hi! So this is my first chaptered story! please tell me what you think and review!

Disclaimer: I don't own teen titans. :(((((((

"Ok, Titans, good job but we need to work on - "

Raven missed the rest of Robin's lecture as she had already teleported back to the tower. Raven slipped out of her portal into her room. Exhaustion overtook her body before she reached her bed and she collapsed on her floor. Slowly, she sat up, propping herself up on her hands and closed her eyes.

"Azarath, metrion, zinthos, azarath, metrion, zinthos"

As she meditated her mind wandered back to the battle only a few hours ago. The Hive and Red X had robbed the gem depository at the same time.

Only not as a team.

When the titans had gotten there the Hive and Red x were in the middle of a violent fight. Red x was doing surprisingly well against the Hive despite being totally out numbered. Soon a three way fight had broken out between the Hive, the Titans and Red X. They quickly took care of the Hive but in all the commotion Red X had gotten away.

Again.

Needless to say Robin was not happy about this. Any criminal activity irritated him, but Red X really got under his skin. Mostly because he had managed to steal the suit right out from under Robin's nose.

Twice.

And it only added to the irritation that he was one of the only criminals that continually got away. And him getting away in their resent encounter meant that Robin would be staring at the computer screen late into the night until someone (usually Cyborg ) got up and forced him to go to bed. She had never understood the obsession that Robin got with crooks. Robin hated Red X, but that was a little far. The guy had saved robin's life once. And he wasn't a villain, just thief and a major jerk. A jerk who was in great shape. And very mysterious. Always wearing that mask that made her wonder what his face looked like under there. He was probably really cute-

She stopped mid thought, her pale features burning crimson. What was wrong with her?

It's because you have a crush on him! You're just too stubborn to admit it! a voice screamed in her head( probably Happy )

"I do not!" she retorted hotly.

The voice giggled in response.

She scowled.

"Stupid emotions," she muttered to herself.

Deciding that she had had enough meditation for one day she opened her eyes. Standing up she walked over to her shelf that housed her many ancient books. Quickly scimming through the contents of the shelfs and shelfs of books looking for something to read. Her sharp eyes stopped on a bare spot.

"Thats weird," she thought frowning, "Thats where I keep The History of Azarath. It should be there."

She stood on her tiptoes to look at the spot where it should have been. Instead of the book however, there was a small, folded square of paper. She picked it up, delicately unfolding it. On it, written in flowing script it read:

Hey Sunshine, if you're reading this, then you're probably wondering where your book is. I've borrowed it for the time being. If you would like it returned then come to the pier at 7 tonight. Come alone. See you soon pretty bird.

X.

Raven nearly tore the note in two while reading it. The nerve of that arrogant, cocky basterd! How dare he break into her room, take something of hers then have the nerve to tell her! And the worst part was she would have to do what he wanted. That book was much too valuable to be left in his possession. She scowled.

Damn that man! If she brought the Titans with her he probably wouldn't show up, but if she told Robin about it there was no way he'd let her go by herself. She would have to go along with what he wanted and not tell her friends.

"Fine X, you win. I'll come." she muttered to herself as she turned to leave her room. Hopefully tea would help her fried nerves. When the door swished closed behind her a figure stepped out of the shadows. Nearly invisible in his black suit he chuckled.

"Knew you'd come around Sunshine," he spoke to the empty room before pressing his belt and teleporting away.
