In Jump city clouds covered the night sky blocking out the moon and star's light. Two figures were in an alley way, the first lead the way with long, determined strides and the second had her legs crossed and she hovered above the ground. Where ever the first would step the second would follow. The alley was cold and damp and sent shivers down Raven's back. She was instructed to located Red X using her tracking abilities. Robin had declared Red X his rival and vowed to bring justice for X's thievery.
Robin, although focused on finding their target, couldn't help but think of the alien girl that wasn't by his side. He wished he was with Starfire right now but he needed Raven's powers to help find Red X.
Taking his mind of Starfire he called out to the girl three feet behind him. "Raven anything?" She replied without a hint of emotion. "Nothings here Robin." She brought her gaze up to the starless night.
Robin sighed and flipped open the communicator. "Guys anything?" He said hoping for results. "Nothing dude. Can't find a thing in this place." Robin closed the communicator and continued walking through the alley's many passages
Raven watched the spiky haired boy. She found herself thinking about him instead of her assignment. "Focus Raven. There's no point in letting yourself down."
"Robin there is no one here." She lowered her self to her feet next to the displeased boy. "Yeah I guess your right thanks for trying anyway Rae."
Raven gave a slight smile. "No problem boss." It was almost to much for Raven to be with him when she knew he was thinking of Starfire. "Now or never. Your alone with him. He and Starfire aren't dating yet there is still a chance."
"Hey Robin I just wanted to let you know that I-"
"Hold that thought Raven I found Red X." Robin showed her the coordinates on the communicator.
Raven sighed and followed the excited Robin. She pulled her cloak around her and muttered to herself. "Like it would ever happen anyway."
Raven found herself outside a warehouse. The sign read Wayne Industries. She wondered to herself why Robin was so agitated.
Robin looked stealthy over the edge of the building. He had a clear view of the warehouse across the deserted streets. She had a few moments alone with him before Starfire flew to Raven and Robin's post. Starfire greeted Robin with a huge hug. He tightened his embrace around the alien girl. Raven gave a fake cough to alert Robin the others were here and ready to fight. Robin let go of the girl and signaled to Cyborg.
"O.K. Cy you know what to do when we get inside." He approached Raven and gave her a nod. Outstretching her hands she let black energy engulf the teens. They arrived in the center of the warehouse. Red X looked up from the box he was going through
"Hey Teen Titans." Robin flung a Bird-a-Rang at the thief's face. He dodged it with ease. "Why do you even try kid." Red X paused. "Weren't there five of you?" Cyborg appeared behind Red X. He blasted X with his sonic cannon sending him hurling into a stack of boxes. "Wow that hurt. Nice try but as long as I have the suit it's impossible to catch me. See you later babe."
With a flash Red X had transported out. Raven raised her hood to hide the flash of pink on her face.
"Ugh I hate that jerk. He thinks he's so cool trying to flirt Raven." Robin steamed.
"Trying? Dude that guys my hero look how he made Raven blush." The whole team gave a glare to Beast boy. "I mean he'd be my hero if he wasn't a villain." Robin looked at Raven and was slightly angered. "Let's just go back to the tower and see if we can locate him."
The ride back in the T-car was a quiet one. Raven was thinking to herself. "He usually flirts with Starfire. At least that's one guy who doesn't chooses Starfire over me." She thought as she looked at Starfire and Robin smiling at each other.
The moment they arrived back at the tower Cyborg and Beast boy started playing their video games. Robin turned to the girls and said "I'm gonna go see what I can find. Can you guys wait up a little bit in case I find something?" The girls nodded. He made his way to his room leaving Starfire and Raven standing alone in the kitchen. Starfire was full of energy and Raven was the only person around.
"Perhaps we should go assist friend Robin." Raven sat herself on the counter and replied "Nah we'll probably just get in his way." Starfire joined the hooded girl. "Yes, I believe you are correct."
Raven had been thinking lately how much Starfire meant to her. How she was the sister Raven never had and Raven's best friend. Ever since Trigon, Raven was better at opening up her feelings to the team.
Raven decided to thank Starfire for this. "Starfire I just want to tell you that your like a sister to me and probably my best friend." Raven braced herself for impact. "Is this a Earth girl tradition I have heard about?" She said with excitement.
"I guess." Starfire gave Raven a tackle hug. "Oh most thank you best friend Raven for bestowing this Earthly honor to me." Raven chuckled at the girl's speech. "Sure Starfire."
"Since I am now your best friend I shall help you with the finding a Earth boy." She lowered her voice to a whisper. "Since I have Robin to 'Like' I think as best friend I should help you find someone."
Raven said in shock. "Wait what? Um Starfire that's O.K. I don't need any help I'm fine you don't ne-" Raven was cut off with the excited talk of the Tamaranian girl. "In the morning of tomorrow I shall help you we could go to the mall......" As Starfire continued Raven smirked to herself. "She's really getting into it."
