Raven shifted slowly under her comforter. Her mental clock told her it was already late morning, but she was unable to convince herself to get up, so she continued to lie in a semi-conscious ball in her bed. After a moment, she shifted again, more awake now. It was then she realized that she wasn't wrapped in her blankets alone, but in someone's arms as well. Her violet eyes shot open as she felt warm breath on her neck. Raven turned in this someone's loose hold quickly, eyes glowing white in anger at her personal space being invaded. This dissipated quickly however, as she came nose to nose with a very much asleep Kyd Wykkyd. Her brows furrowed and her eyes shown bright white again as she pushed him violently away from her.
"What do you think you're doing!" she yelled at him heatedly. The angry demoness didn't receive a response, only a stunned villain who quickly gripped at his chest wound with a pained face. He clenched his teeth and, propping himself up with his elbow, looked down at his bandaged chest under his trembling fingers. Slowly, a thin line of blood surfaced on the gauze, widening as it went. Raven's eyes returned to normal, but her scowl stayed on her pale face. Wykkyd looked up to her with a confused, pleading look. She exhaled heavily out of her nose before muttering an irritated "Fine."
She rose from the bed, walking to her bathroom. Kyd Wykkyd pressed his fingers to his wound again, wincing. He didn't remember cuddling this Raven girl last night. The last thing he did remember was her wrapping up his chest and just being so very tired. He sighed.
"Probably made this horribly awkward." He thought to himself bitterly. As if it wasn't already. He looked up as she exited her bathroom, carrying the same box he vaguely remembered from last night. She set the box on the ground and kneeled on her knee.
"Turn to me." She growled, opening a new package of gauze. Wykkyd did as he was told, removing the covers and slowly swinging his legs over the edge of her bed. He secretly wondered if he was the first boy she had ever shared this bed with. A small played at his lips as he thought so.
"No wonder she's so viciously shy."
The violet haired girl unrolled the wrapping slightly, before setting it down and unraveling her 'companion's bandage. He winced again when she slowly peeled the last bit of it away. Her thin finger continued to clean the gash again. As she started to dress his wounds for a second time, Wykkyd couldn't help but admire her skilled hands so quickly covering him in gauze again. He scoffed in his head. She probably did this all the time for her teammates and such. A sudden ping of horror washed over him. His teammates, his family, he had left then behind, they could be dead for all he knew. His shoulders shook and his head lowered as sorrow began to fill him. Raven added a pin to the bandage.
"There." She stated bluntly, irritation still evident in her voice. She looked up to him, only to become concerned herself at his hurt expression. As she continued to stare, she realized his gaze wasn't on her herself, but just into space, as if lost in a horrible thought. The young sorceress stood, and not knowing what to say to this boy, returned to the bathroom to change into her typical attire. When she returned, she found Kyd Wykkyd in the same spot, except for the fact his elbows where now resting on his knees, his arms hanging loosely from them. She raised a brow at him before coughing into her fist.
"I'm going to go talk to Robin about this." She told him. "And maybe bring you some breakfast." She added, before leaving her room. Wykkyd barely heard the door slide shut before continuing his thoughts of guilt.
Raven exited the elevator and walked into the main room or Titans Tower. She noted Cyborg and Beast Boy bickering about what to cook for breakfast, and if it was okay or not okay to kill a pig for its fatty bacon, and Starfire, who was drinking some kind of condiment. Raven shivered before her eyes moved to Robin, who was obviously sleep deprived and typing furiously at the main computer. Deciding she rather converse with an insomniac Robin rather that her other already-hyped-up team members, and seeing as he was the one she was supposed to find and talk to, she walked to him. She stopped shortly behind him and looked over his shoulder.
"What are you doing?" she questioned dryly. Robin shot up a little, obviously unaware of her presence prior to her speaking up. He turned to her, worry evident on his face.
"Last night, at the bombing site. It wasn't a bombing site. There was an attack; on the H.I.V.E Five's new base. There was blood everywhere, but no bodies, just pieces of Gizmo's gadget's here and eyeballs from Seemore there. I don't know what happened; I don't know of any of the H.I.V.E's enemies besides us." He rubbed his temples in frustration. "-Especially ones so brutal." Raven's eyes widened at this new information.
"That's what.. Wykkyd.." She thought in concern. She bit her lip slightly, unable to shake the feeling of guilt bubbling up inside of her.
"Wow that's.. horrible." She murmured and averted her eyes. "I uh.. it's weird to say but, I hope they're alright.." she eyed Robin curiously as she spoke, to see his reaction.
"Yeah, me too." He nodded before returning to the computer. Raven let out a silent sigh and made her way to the kitchen area, where Cyborg had won as usual and was currently cooking ungodly amounts of bacon. She couldn't bring herself to tell Robin about Kyd Wykkyd just yet, he was obviously still shaken up about the whole thing. As she approached the kitchen, Cyborg spun around, waving a pan full of bacon in her face.
"Hey Rae! Want some delicious, mouth-waterin', real-meat baco~on?" He eyed Beast Boy smugly with each word, making the smaller, green boy frown deeply.
"No way, man! Raven never eats your disgustin' bacon anyway! She always wants tea or somethin'!" he huffed angrily. Cyborg waved the pan at Raven again.
"Cmon Ra~ae, you know you want some~" He gave a bigger, smugger smile at his green companion. Beast Boy was about to protest again, when the violet-haired girl in question spoke up.
"Uh, yeah, I'll have some." She looked away. "Actually, would you want to make me a big breakfast, Cyborg? I'm uhm, kind of hungry."
Raven turned to look out the window as Cyborg whooped and hollered and Beast Boy yelled at him about being insensitive to the Earth's creatures. She made a worried expression.
"What happened?" she murmured softly to herself.
After a few minutes, Cyborg presented her with a large plate with sausages, bacon, eggs, toast, pancakes and waffles. Raven took it with her telekinesis, levitating it over her right hand as she stirred her tea with her left. Beast Boy made a begrudged face at Cyborg.
"There is no way she's going to eat all of that! You're going to waste it!" he bent his ears back. Cyborg patted his head, assuring him that Raven was a 'big girl' and she could 'take care of her breakfast'. Raven held her hand out to two glasses; one with milk and one with tea, making them float after her, along with 'her' breakfast as she walked back to her room.
Kyd Wykkyd looked up from the bed as the door opened again. His red eyes widened at the size of the plate Raven had floating after her. She continued to walk towards him, and then, gently, placed the plate and glasses on the floor to the right of her bed. Wykkyd watched her as she sat in front of the platter and folded her legs. She looked up at him and, getting the message, he slunk off of the bed and onto the floor and propped himself up against the wall. She picked up her cup of tea and took a sip from it.
"Hope you're not a vegan or something." She smiled from behind her mug. Wykkyd looked from the plate back to her and gave an unsure smile before shaking his head 'no'. She nodded. "Good. It's all yours then, except for uh.." Raven looked over the plate before plucking up a piece of toast. "—this." She took a bite of it.
Wykkyd blinked at her a couple of times before nodding in satisfaction and taking a bite of bacon. He widened his eyes a little as he realized exactly how hungry he was. He began to nearly devour the food before him, and Raven simply watched him in slight, but not total, disbelief. She did live with three teenage boys herself, and one Starfire, so it wasn't a very uncommon sight, at least not for her. She sighed as she became more comfortable and continued to sip her tea, allowing her acquaintance to eat his strength back
