Chapter 2 of a Supposed to be Oneshot.

Disclaimer: ...I Own Nothing...

OK. I know this was supposed to be an Oneshot but people wanted me to continue so I am. Hope you guys like it and I'm hoping that I'll get enough ideas for my other Teen Titans stories to update soon.

Red X and Raven appeared in a small apartment on the far outskirts of town. Raven had her pale arms wrapped around Red's neck and was kissing him passionately. Red picked her up and carried her to his room where they lay in the bed.

"Raven," Red moaned and she suddenly stood up and walked to the doorway. "Raven!" he said, alarmed. "What are you doing?" she was going to leave him again, just like she always had...just like everyone else did.

"It just occurred to me that you never told me your name. How am I supposed to trust you if I don't even know who you are? You killed my friends but you didn't kill me. How do I know that you're not planning on killing me too, but you just want to have some fun first? How am I supposed to trust you if I don't even know who you are? Why did I fall in love with a stranger?" she whispered and refused to meet his eyes as he walked over to her.

"Raven, look at me," he said softly but she still refused to raise her eyes to meet his. "Raven," he said again and his hand cupped her chin and lifted her head until their eyes met. She closed her eyes and pushed her cheek further into his hand, needing comfort. "I would never hurt you. I would never be able to hurt you, even if it meant I would die. If something had to happen to you that I could have prevented I would never forgive myself."

"What about all the times that we fought you? You never hesitated to hurt me then," she said quietly.

"You would never stay down long enough for me to get away, I only wanted to see you and that was the only way that I could and you would actually notice me.

"Raven, I love you more then anything. I would give up my life if it meant that you were happy and safe," he sighed and tried to pull her close but she backed up against the wall, her eyes widening.

"That's what Aaron said to me, before he..." she stopped and looked at him fearfully.

"Before he did what?" Red coaxed. If this Aaron fellow had done anything to hurt Raven he would hunt him down and rip him apart with his bare hands. "You can trust me," he whispered and she looked away before whispering something.

Red's eyes widened. He hoped beyond hope that he had heard wrong. He shook his head unbelieving and gaped at her.

"Yes," Raven whispered and a tear slipped down her face. Red reached to wipe it away and she flinched but gradually allowed him to touch her. .

"Raven," he whispered and his whisper opened the floodgates. She threw her arms around his neck and sobbed on his shoulder. Muttering words that he could no understand. After staying like this for quite a while, she slowly pushed herself away from him.

She avoided eye contact once again but didn't move when he reached out to gently wipe away the tear streaks.

"What did I do?" she asked. "Why did he do that to me? What did I do to make him mad enough to do that to me?" she asked and looked at him for the first time, begging him to comfort her and tell her that it wasn't her fault and she had done nothing to deserve the way she was treated. And that was exactly what he said.

Three hours later, Red was sitting on the couch. Raven had fallen asleep in his arms awhile ago so he took her to his room and let her sleep there. She needed the rest after all she'd been through.

What amazed him was that she hid it so well. If she hadn't broken down in front of him, he never would have guessed that she had been raped and abused. She was so strong. Stronger then he was by a long shot. Sighing, he walked over to his computer that he's stolen when he was trying out the suit for the first time. He was going to find that bastard and kill him.
