Hi! So this is my second fanfic and I'm pretty excited about it! So as I'm sure you guessed I'm a big Raven/Red x shipper! I hope you like it, and please review!
When It Rains
Raven couldn't sleep. She had had a nightmare, although that wasn't unusual. Being a half-demon meant unpleasant dreams. It didn't help that Jump was having one of its worst thunder storms in years. Glancing around her dimly lit room as a clap of thunder shook the tower. As she shivered slightly under her black silk sheets, she listened to the never ending pounding of the rain. Quietly, she slipped
out of her bed and threw her cloak on over her pajamas. Raven walked softly out of her room, the floor cold under her bare feet. The dark corders of the tower were
silent except for the pounding of the rain. She was soon on the rooftop, the rain crashing against her pale skin. Icy droplets clung to her clothes and hair chilling her to
the bone. Stupid, she thought to herself. All I'm going to find out here is a cold. Why did I even come out here? she sighed, sitting down on the edge of the roof. The pounding of the rain muffled the crackling sound of teleporting behind her. "What the hell are you doing Sunshine?" she shifted wrapping her cloak tighter around herself
as she turned to see none other than Red X behind her. "Hey Jason," he walked over to where she was sitting shivering. Wrapping his arms securely around her petite form he frowned. "Are you trying to catch pemonia?" he said as he held her close, quieting her shivers. "I couldn't sleep," she said almost whispering. " So you decided to come up here and let the rain wash you away?" "No, I'm not an idiot," she said, rolling her eyes. "I had a nightmare… and I just had to make sure it was all still here." "What?" he asked curiously. "The world…. everything, I guess. Sometimes at night, after a nightmare it feels like it might not be real, everything that's
happened, my father being defeated, might be just a dream, and I'll wake up and this," she gestured to the bright city lights that shone through the dark rain. "Will be hell again." "It won't be. You saved everyone. Trigon is gone, for good. You don't have to worry anymore." he said quietly.
"It's a demon that's haunted me my entire life Jason. It's hard to just let it go." she replied wrapping her cloak around herself.
"Yeah, I know. My whole life no one's really been there for me. My ex-stepmom, my dad, Batman, nobody really ever cared what happened to me." he said softly, gently pulling her into his lap. "No one, except you." he murmured into her hair. "Just don't ever feel too alone, 'cause I'm here for you. And even though I don't always get along with him, Robin's here for you too. So is every one of the Titans." She sighed, and leaned back into him.
"Jason," she murmured,
"Yeah Jewel?"
"When in the world did you get to be so wise?" she said, smirking.
"Oh, I've always been this brilliant, you just never noticed," He said playfully. "Somehow I doubt that," she said, resting her head on his shoulder and closing her eyes. He just sat there quietly, holding her in his arms, on the roof of Titans Tower, the rain pouring down on both of them.
Who knew that rain could be so wonderful, he thought as he allowed his eyes to close as well.
