A question before we start. This fic is separated into parts and part 1 is estimated to be 10 chapters. This is so far planned as a raven-redx fic but how many of the 9 followers I have on this fic would like to have some added drama of a love triangle and with whom? I'll make a poll on my page and you all can vote. I'll leave the poll for yes or no up until chapter 8. After that I will open the next one :) Also if you don't have a login, just leave a comment with your votes! .Happy readings
Chapter 2
He hadn't meant to scare her, nor had he meant to catch her topless but he wasn't complaining.
The shocked Titan turned to a beet red and quickly summoned the nearest blanket to cover her up. She also tried to attempt to slam him into the wall. He easily avoided the black tendrils and sent a sticky x towards her.
Caught by surprise the girl was sent crashing back and into her mirror which cracked on impact. X grimaced behind his mask, he had not meant to do that. She had a pained look on her face and he noticed the sticky x was strapped around her bare torso. Fuck, getting that X off was going to pull the skin. Shit, he knew he had threatened them but he was bluffing. He couldn't really kill a titan.
He just wanted the goddamn dream catcher! Was that too much to ask for. It would be simple, give him the catcher and he would leave the Titans room.
The Titan in question was glaring daggers at him.
"Look," he said raising his hands. "I just want the necklace. Tell me where it is and I'll go."
"Go to hell!" Raven seethed.
"Been there done that," he said. "Look, I've got a few bombs set around your tower. The necklace or down the tower goes."
He was lucky he wasn't completely bluffing. He knew about her powers from Batman's secret files and one of her powers was empathy. The girl could sense his goddamn feelings and he hated that.
He did have bombs spread across the tower grounds but they were all smoke bombs, and she didn't need to know that. She just had to believe they would damage the tower and from her look of worry, she did.
"The necklace has no value to anyone but myself," she said to him. "Even the jewels are worth less than five thousand collectively. Why could you possibly want my necklace?"
X rolled his eyes, not that she could see.
"Come on the kid," he said. "Don't try to convince me against this, I've done my research. I want the healing stones so fork them over like a good little bird."
The girl glared and sighed.
"Fine," she said to him. "Free me and I will give you the necklace."
Red-X rolled his eyes even harder. Did she think he was born yesterday?
"No no, sunshine daisies," he said. "You tell me where and I grab, then I'll let you go."
She glared once more.
"It's on my bookshelf, the third row down in the blue box."
Red-X nodded and went to grab it. He reached to where she said and found it. He looked at the trinket. It was small and shiny, with a large emerald in the middle, surrounded by 2 diamonds on each side. It really was not all that special but he needed its power.
"Free me from this," she demanded.
He went to her and grabbed on to the edge of the X.
"This is gonna sting," he said pulling at the sticky material.
She let out a yelp and he knew he had indeed pulled the skin. She quickly tried to gather some of her dark tendrils but he backed up and pressed his teleportation device.
"Sorry, I said it would sting!," he said to her. "But this is mine now, I gotta run!"
He heard her yell something as he teleported away.
It didn't matter though, he had what he wanted.
...
Raven sent a tendril of her dark magic as he disappeared but it was too late. She yelled another "go to hell" but he was gone.
Raven sighed. This wasn't over.
Raven could sense desperation in the young man. He wanted her healing jewels for himself but they were not going to work. They were made for her and herself only and even if she died, they would not work for him. He said he had done his research, how could he have missed that point.
She sighed once more and looked down to her bare chest. He had pulled off some skin and the areas surrounding were red and warm, some spots of blood as well. She cringed and no longer had any way of healing her bruised and now stinging chest. She was in extreme amounts of paralyzing pain but she had to move and get help. She flinched at every minor movement.
To make matters worse something mortifying happened.
"Raven!" Tim yelled as he slammed her door open and ran in. "You yelled, are you okay? What happened? I..."
Tim stopped dead in his tracks when he took note of the half-naked girl he froze. His face turning tomato red.
Raven sighed again. It was the night of sighing apparently.
"Tim," she said with defeat. "Close your jaw and come to help me. Red-X was here."
Tim shook his head and went to her. He picked up the nearest blanket and wrapped it around her, his face red the entire time.
"Did he hurt you, did he you know?" he asked, his voice worried and angry.
He picked her up a bridal smile and she smiled. Tim was such a good soul, always trying to help.
"No," she said. "He caught me how you did. Undressed and not even bothering to knock. He wanted a magical artifact of mine and he got it. Can you take me to the infirmary and go get Kori?"
The flushed young man nodded and she could sense his mortification and his lust that he was trying to curb. He was a man after all.
"Tim," she said with a calm voice. "I have breasts, I am a female. You saw them, oh well. Calm down and stop making this so awkward."
He nodded but she knew she had done nothing to curb his mortification.
Oh, what a night.
...
"Oh friend Raven," Kori laughed. "You have had an eventful night."
"I think Tim may have had a worse night with the things he managed to walk into," Raven replied.
Kori was currently rubbing a topical antibiotic and topical pain medication onto her stinging skin. Tim had apparently gone to her room without knocking and had walked in on her and Dick having a naked argument.
"Oh yes," Kori laughed. "He was quite shocked to see Dick in my room. He is quite innocent. But that is beside the point. You believe Red-X will be back."
Raven let out her thousandth sigh of the night and looked around at the white walls of the infirmary.
She had explained to Kori what had occurred and what the issues were. She was sure that X would realize how useless the jewels were to him and he would come back for her.
"He seemed very desperate," Raven said. "He wants help but he obviously doesn't know how to ask for it. I can't help but WANT to help him though. Even if he is the reason this night has gone to hell."
Kori floated in front of her and sat cross-legged, like the gossip.
"Do tell," she said.
Raven looked at her alien friend and shrugged her shoulders.
"He always has seemed familiar and he has always had this aura of pain," Raven said. "He was never evil. I have never sensed true evil from him. Pettiness and anger sure, but never evil."
He has a good heart, she wanted to say but she refrained.
Kori nodded looking quite interested.
"I agree," Kori replied. "He always did remind of a, oh how do you say it, a snarkier and darker version of Dick."
"Yes," Raven said. "And he is still suffering. From what, I don't know, but I feel like he deserves some sort of assistance. If only he had just listened."
Kori nodded.
"He will be back," Raven stated. "Those jewels won't work for him and he's going to blame me."
"And once he does return?"
Raven looked at the firey alien.
"I'm going to help him."
...
It had been a week, a whole bloody fucking week and nothing.
The angry young man through the necklace at a mirror, cracking the glass.
"Christ!" he yelled. "All I want is some good sleep, is that too much to ask?"
The young man's room was in tatters. The nightmares continued to become stronger and more terrifying the closer that day came.
His nightmare was always reliving through that day but they would get worse each time. At first, it was just the laugh, then it was his face, then the beating.
He didn't want to think if what the anniversary would bring, those nights always were the worst, but he knew he had to do something.
He was scared and he was tired.
But worst of all, he was mad.
That damn titan had tricked him. She would get what was coming to her but Red-X would hardly do.
No, it was time for the big gun.
He had been planning his debut in Jump for later. He wanted batsy to tell dickhead and tiny Tim but Bruce was being stubborn and keeping him a secret.
His dirty little secret. His failure.
Fuck that, fuck Bruce.
Fuck Batman.
Red Hood was going after Raven.
She wouldn't know what hit her.
End.
I mean I'm sure we all saw that coming.
