Helpless
This is my first teen titans fan fic, so be nice!
The clock had just struck 12. Lightning illuminated the sky and howling winds blew fiercely on the window pane. The moon was sheltered by a curtain of pitch black clouds.
Raven woke abruptly, sweat dripping down her face. Sitting bolt up right, she scanned around the room for any trace of movement. Raven sighed deeply and lay back down on her soft bed.
"That's the last time I stay up to watch one of beast boy's stupid horror movies." She whispered to herself. Another lightning flash revealed a thin shadow looming across her floor, stopping just at the foot of her bed. After the light dimmed, she followed the shadow to a plant standing tall in the corner. For a moment she thought someone was in the room.
I'm being silly. No one can get in, Cyborg locked the tower.
Reassured, Raven closed her eyes and began to drift off to sleep…
Raven.
Again she sat up. Was it her imagination? Must have been. She thought.
Think again. The deep voice echoed.
"I definitely heard something that time." Raven said. Using her powers, she searched the tower for any signs of threat. There's someone in the living room! Her powers told her. She quickly dressed and ran towards Robin's room. Knocking on his door, she got no answer.
"Why won't he answer?" Raven questioned.
No one will answer. All the other titans are in a deep sleep, thank to a few cans of sleep gas. The voice teased.
"I don't need the other Titans; I can take care of this myself." She told herself.
Slowly creeping down the dim corridor, Raven kept a track on the mystery man. For what seemed like forever, she reached the elevator leading to the living room. She entered the elevator and felt it begin to descend.
Seconds later she felt a sharp prick in her left arm. A dart had fired out from the wall and punctured her delicate pale skin.
You stumbled into my trap! By the time you reach me, you'll sound asleep! Hahaha. The voice echoed, sounding moreirritating than ever.
Fighting with her mind to keep conscience, she slid slowly down onto the cold metal floor, her back against the wall. Raven pulled the dart out and grabbed her numb arm.
I won't let him win so early! I must stay awake! She commanded herself. For what seemed like hours. Raven battled the tempting option of letting her mind slip into sleep.
Eventually the elevator slowed to a halt and the doors slid open. At first Raven couldn't notice any sign of movement because her eyes had lost their focus.
"So glad you decided to join me my dark princess." The man spoke. Raven struggled to her feet.
"Feeling a little sleepy are we? Let me sort that out for you." The man whispered as he threw another dart at Raven's arm.
She cried out in pain and cradled her already tender arm.
"I though a tough super hero such as yourself could take more than a few darts." He laughed.
Her senses slowly returning thanks to the remedy, raven hastily jumped to her feet and faced none other than.
RED X!
"You….." Raven gasped.
"In the flesh" Red x replied. He was just as she remembered him: Tall, deep voiced, muscular and cocky. He seemed to have taken a liking to the synothium powered suit he had stolen from robin a month ago. The suit had a white skull shape as the main mask, and most of the main suit was a shiny black.
"What do you want from me?" Raven asked.
"I though you would have already guessed." Red x teased. His mind games seemed to be taking their toll on her.
"I've come for you."
"What?" Raven asked confused. Last time she remembered red x only had interest in Starfire.
"You heard. I seem to have taken a liking to you my little sorceress." Red x told her.
"Well you're not getting me without a fight!" Raven screamed and she assumed battle position.
"Playing hard to get are we? Sure, Ill play your game." He taunted.
Red x started by firing one of his x devices, which Raven easily parried. She then countered by using her telekinesis to throw a desk at him. Red x then used his synothium belt to disappear from sight before the desk made contact.
"Where did he go?" Raven muttered as she slowly backed away from the centre of the room to the wall. Before she could get there Red x appeared and forcefully shoved raven into the wall. Holding her against the wall he whispered in her ear:
"You might as well give up sweet raven. You will fall to me!" He whispered menacingly as he kissed her gently on the forehead. Raven then phased into the wall. Red x was going to pay for doing that! Every object in the room was enveloped by a familiar black aura as they flew towards him. Tables, chairs, book shelves and sofas all launched themselves continuously at Red x. Soon he was trapped in a tornado of furniture. He couldn't keep up with all of it, so eventually a chair conveniently caught him . He flew round and round inside the twister until a heavy book (Raven's of course) went for a collision course for Red x's face. He was too dizzy to see it coming. As a result it took him by surprise and knocked him off. The impact of the landing seemingly knocked him unconscious.
Raven appeared from the depths of the wall and the twister subsided, pieces of furniture landing everywhere. Assuming it was safe to approach the motionless figure, she bent down beside him and whispered:
"Never touch me again you creep, or you'll be sorry."
Raven turned around, her cape flowing behind her. She was just about to press the button on the lift when she felt something land on her back. All of a sudden an electric current flowed through her body. The pain was unbearable. Raven screamed as she fell to the floor, unconscious. Red x rose from the cold floor and brushed the dust off his suit.
"I was always told I had a knack for drama." He laughed to himself.
Red x picked Raven up and disappeared into the shadow of the night.
