Well, this got Way more reviews and support than I thought it was. ^^"
Thank u to all of my reviewers and favers and story-alerters... lol
I got a lot of good ideas from u guys. And eventually I was able to write them down.
I hope you like the next chapter. :) I'm sorry it takes so long for me to update.
Standing outside of the café, I'm dressed in a simple school girl outfit - a short-sleeved white top, a short (but not too short) red skirt, with a matching red tie, and white slip-on shoes. In my hair I had a red hair ribbin that had a small plastic ladybug occupied on it.
I also held a red lollipop as he requested. Personally, I think the lollipop request was just so he could humiliate me, like hell 'I need to be able to tell it's you'. The guy is a sadist.
Speak of the devil...
"Hey beautiful," he greets as he walks up to me.
"Hi..." I can feel myself blushing. Was I really just embarassed by his compliment? Well, we are both guys... er, well a guy and a guy-girl-crossplay - oh hell, you know what I mean.
"Okay, we're here. Now what?" I really just want to get this stupid date over with.
"Relax, I've got our whole date planned out," he says as he tosses me the movie listings in the newspaper. (AN: I like to think that Some people still do it this way, instead of just looking online. Besides, it's cuter this way.)
"It's around three now, that gives us pleanty of time to see a movie and have some dinner."
"Oh boy," I start sarcastically "dinner and a movie, gee you sure do go for originality don't you."
He shrugs. "Why mess with something that works? Now choose a movie so we can get going."
If he thinks we're seeing a romance movie he can forget it.
I scan the listings for anything that will keep me distracted enough to forget just who I'm with. Ah ha.
"Fine, then we're going to go see 'Folterer'" I say smugly.(1)
"A horror movie huh? I think that's german for 'torturer'. I honestly wouldn't have pegged you as the horror movie type. I actually thought we'd end up seeing that action movie, but cool, this works too."
"Yeah, well, the plot of 'Folterer' looks way more interesting than 'The Day the Earth Froze Over'. I mean, whoever Folterer is, he goes out as what starts out as revenge, then it just turns into habit or enjoyment or something. It's like a modern-day Sweeney Todd.
"You have to admit it's much more interesting than people searching over the frozen earth for any forms of life."
He just laughed. "Can't deny that logic now, can I?"
Despite myself I smiled a little. We took his mortercyle (who knew) to the theater.
xxXx
Okay, I may have under-estimated how scary this movie would be. It's more like Sweeney Todd combined with Jigsaw (from Saw), with a dash of Jason.
He was a demon, well, became a demon after seeking revenge for his dead family and ended up making a deal with the devil in order to do so. Then he lost the humanity in his soul and started torturing and killing without reason.
He lived originally in Germany, but started traveling all over the globe to commit his killings.
Add one more to that list, a 'Light Yagami' please.
I am currently raking my nails into the arm rests of my seat with my eyes fixated on the screen. He can blend into the shadows - demon powers; waiting until she get's close enough to-
'YAHHHHH!'
"!" Ahhhhhhhh-Oh-My-God-hhhhh.
He just comes out of-fucking-nowhere! How can he stand the sickening sound of her bones cracking?!
"I didn't think you'd be this affected by the movie." Huh? "I guess you're just full of surprises today aren't you."
Oh crap. I just let Red X, one of my enemies, see me scream like a little child, and...
Oh great, Now I notice: I'm clinging on to his arm for dear life.
Must. Let. Go. Of. His. Arm.
'Noooo, please-' The woman on the screen screams but is silence by the demon's teeth sicking into the woman's neck.
I can't help it, my grip on X's arm tightens. Not because that scared me, but because as she falls into a pool of her own blood - a young woman with brown hair and blue eyes like mine, like Her's - her neck cracked; I can't help myself, I start to tear up.
"Hey, are you okay?"
Why is his voice so surprisingly gentle, almost concerned?
I can't speak right now, I just nod my head. I'll be okay, as soon as the scene is off the woman and my mind is no longer on her death.
Why did that woman have to look just like my mother?(2)
I've stopped asking long ago why my mother had to die, knowing that I'd never get an answer.
Wait, did he...? He did.
He wraped his arm around my shoulder and pulled me closer.
I don't think he's making a move, I've never seen one like this before.
"I've got you, don't worry. It's okay."
I mealt with his words. He really is comforting me, I can't belive it. And it helps too.
I still don't know what his game is, what exactly he's planning, but... at this point I just don't care.
I lean into him and watch the rest of the movie, much calmer than before.
XxXx
After the movie we decide to just go to a local burger joint for dinner. He hasn't spoken to me much since the mini break-down thing but he looks at me with still some concern on his face.
I don't like that look directed at me, even if it's sort of comforting. Besides, I really am alright now. I manage a small smile at him and he looks much more at ease because of it.
"You're okay with not going anywhere fancy for dinner right?" His question is so sudden.
"Yeah, it's no problem. I'd prefer it actually."
Walking into 'Better Burgers' we grab our food and sit at a window seat.
I enjoy the silence; there really isn't much to talk about, and it's more of a comfortable silence than an awkward one.
But of course, no matter where I go or what I do, something always appears to break that beautiful silence.
"I'm starving!"
"Alright man, we're getting some food now, sheesh!"
"Sticking crud-munchers, why did we have to go here? I wanted 'Tacos Grande'!"
Oh no... why, why them? Okay, stay calm, they don't know who you are, and Red X is not in costume, there is no way they could possibly notice-
"Hey Red!"
What?!
"Billy." Red X greets nonchilantly.
"We-hehe-ll, lookie what we have here, Billy." He asks another Billy duplicate.
"Well Billy," the clone says, "It's looks like old Red here got himself a girl friend."
I nearly choked on my soda.
Really? I may be dressed like a girl, but it's still so insulting.
"I wouldn't say girlfriend, we're just on a date." X seems pretty irritated.
"Ohh, so she's still up for grabs huh? Nothing official?"
He purrs in my direction.
"Hey there cutie, how about spending some time with a real man?"
Um, ew.
"Back off man." Red X says dangerously.
Woah, I've never heard his voice that serious before. It's almost scary.
Billy puts his hands up in surrender.
"Easy, easy. I'm just teasing. Boy, you really must like this one a lot."
"I can see why," the young cyclops puts in.
Meanwhile Mammoth comes over with two large armfuls of hamburgers and fries.
"You better share scuz-wad!" Gizmo yells at him.
They all pull over a table and sit by us. I think by now X and us are on the same page, and the print says 'Go Away'.
I couldn't help but gasp as Seemore grabbed my hand and kissed it.
"And what would your name be mademoiselle?"
Mustering up my 'girl voice' I manage, "Amee."
"'Amee'? Sounds foreign. Are you French of something?"
"Romania" I admit. They don't know that Robin-me is Romania, so it's okay to tell them. Besides, they may want proof. (3)
"Cool. Say something in Romanian."
Sigh, "Acest lucru este ciudat." (This is awkward)
"Awesome! Are you sure this isn't French, it sounds a lot like it."
"Well, they say that the two are sister languages so I'm not surprised."
Well at least Seemore can keep a more intellegent, if not a somewhat childishly-annoying, conversasion.
While he and I talked, I kept a side eye on the others: Red X and Billy and were discussing something that was clearly entertaining Billy and annoying X, Gizmo was trying to grab some burgers from Mammoth's pile, while Mammoth clearly wanted them all to himself, and Kyd Wykkyd... well, he appeared to be just standing there observing everything.
I don't think he talks, but I have a feeling he'd be a better conversationalist than any of the others.
-Crash-
Oh no, please don't be anymore chaos than there already is. The last thing we need is Kitten or Johnny Rancid joining us too.
"Titan's go!"
That was Cyborg! Finally, someone to stop these guys from annoying the hell out of me... oh yeah, and stealing burgers and frightening customers too.
"Looks like it's for you." Red X said smoothly towards the Hive Five.
Villains eyes met heroes, and X and I in between. The team seemed pretty focused on the Hive Five, most likely trying to think of a way to get them out of here without causing too much damage.
All eyes were set on the villains... except for Raven's, who were gazing at me curiously.
No... no, no, no, please. Please don't let Raven recognise me.
Suddenly there was movement, I don't know which side leapt at the other first but but in a micro-second both sides were at each others throats.
I wanted to help, I almost sprang into action too, but Red X put a hand on my shoulder to calm me and led me away to the other side of the room.
I was further away, but I still saw and heard what was happening.
"What happened to your leader? He don't wanna hang around with you losers anymore?" Billy mocked.
"No way" Beastboy yelled. "He does top secret mission stuff at night. He doesn't have time for people like you not us."
I almost smacked myself in the face right then and there, especially as I heard X chuckle behind me and whisper in my ear "top secret missions, huh".
I whispered back, "They know I have a job, just not what it is, and were supposed to come up with a cover story. I'll assume that what the others have come up with was better."
The fight was over soon, the Titans didn't manage to arrest the Hive Five, they made a run for it, but at least there wasn't much damage and they were out of here.
As the team made there way out Raven turned back and looked me straight in the eye. Her eyes narrowed and pretty much screamed 'We'll talk later'.
I am so busted.
At least it was Raven. Level-head-enough-not-to-shout-out-'Robin!'-upon-discovering-my-identity Raven. Thank You God it wasn't Beastboy!
xxXXx
Red X walked me back to the café and we stopped to look at each other in the front of it.
"So," he said.
"So," I parroted.
"Today was pretty crazy huh?"
He looked a little concerned about his own statement.
"Yeah..." What else could I say.
He's looking a little disappointed now.
"But, it wasn't bad. Actually, I had a pretty good time."
I give him a small smile.
He grins, then graps my chin under his fingers and brings my face closer to his as he leans in and brings his lips to mine.
And I'm not ashamed to say that I didn't even try to stop him. Only enjoyed the feeling of his warm lips on mine, his tongue caressing my tongue and mouth, and the delicious taste of his essence.
A couple of giggles broke us out of our trance. We both turn to see a couple of the waitresses peering out windows, spying on us.
"Well, I'll be going I guess. See you later, Amee."
xxXxx
Arriving back at Titan's tower, dressed in my Robin uniform, all I wanted was a good nights sleep after the day I've had.
I really should have anticipated Raven staying up waiting for me in the livingroom... all other Titans asleep.
"Hello Robin."
"...Raven."
"Let's talk, shall we."
Great, just after I told told the entire date to all of the employees at the café. I just wanted to go to bed.
1. I truthfully thought that 'Torturer' would just sound cheezy, so I put it in German. Why? One b/c I love how German sounds, Two b/c it's similar to English and I thought I'd make less of a mistake trying to translate it.
2. The woman looks like his mother and was thus reminded of her death.
3. I think it's just 'Romania', not 'Romanian' b/c whenever I used the latter my history teacher always corrected me, so if I'm wrong, just let me know.
So Raven now knows... I thought the idea was pretty funny, but truthfully I still don't know where exactly I'm going with this.
My inspiration meter is at zero. any more suggestions? Let me know. And thanks! :)
