A/N
Thanks again for all you're awesome reveiws!
Raven stared suspiciously at the cloaked boy standing a few feet in front of her, readying herself for an attack. Kyd Wykkyd made no sign of attempting anything so far, but he was excellent at being secretive.
Kyd Wykkyd nodded slowly, and raised his cape. Raven instinctively consumed her hands in darkness, but noticed he hadn't tried to slice her open yet. She raised a thin dark eyebrow questioningly and could just faintly make out a small smile in the shadows of his hood, before he swung his cape around himself and disappeared.
Puzzeled at his sudden act of helpfullness, Raven backed up until her back was pressed against the dark wall of her room. Sliding down to a sitting position, she removed her own hood, purple hair slightly messed up from the nights events.
"Raven! Raven, where are you!" She could just hear the sound of yelling from outside her window, and was sure it belonged to Robin. Raven rushed over to look out into the black night, and saw the rest of the Titan's approaching the T shaped building. Starfire was flying with Robin dangling from her hands, and Cyborg was being carried by a green Pterodactyl.
"Friend Raven! You are alright?" Starfire yelled, the team still a while away from the Titaan's Tower. Once they arrvied at Raven's window and entered her room, the dark girl nodded. "I'm fine." Raven lied, her voice clear of any emotion. The truth was, she wasn't fine. She was extremely confused about the half demon criminal who had saved her, and the supposedly small scrape from his cape on her back that stung like hell.
"What happened back there? You called for help, but when we arrived the place was empty. Where did See-More and Kyd Wykkyd go?" Robin questioned, straightening out his mask, and sighing heavily.
"I- I don't know exactly what happened. All I know is that Slade showed up... And Kyd Wykkyd saved me." Raven explained, squeezing the bridge of her nose in frustration. Confusion spread over each Titan's face, as they listened to what she had to say. "Slade was there?" Robin exclaimed, throwng his hands in the air theatrically.
Raven rolled her eyes and nodded. "Yes, Slade was there. While I was fighting the others, Kyd Wykkyd suddenly stopped and watched him come inside. He was asking where I was and... Kyd Wykkyd starting backing up towards me. I thought he was gonna' rat me out to Slade. Then, Slade saw me and started to come after me. I backed up and hit something... No, someone. It was him. Kyd Wykkyd. He teleported us back here, and disappeared right before you guys came back."
Robin made a frustrated noise, and tapped a gloved finger on his chin. "Hmmm..." Robin was getting stressed out over the subject, but before Raven could order everyone to leave her room, Beast Boy's voice rang out. "Dude! That Kyd Wykkyd guy is totally weird..." Cyborg chuckled, the sound a low rumbling in his half robotic chest.
Starfire nodded eagerly and piped up. "Beast Boy is correct. The boy is very... Strange." She furrowed her brows as if concentrating on something, possibly why Kyd Wykkyd was the way he was. "You guys are right; Kyd Wykkyd is different from the other criminals we have faced. He is much more powerful, yes, but there is also something about him I cannot quite put my finger on."
Robin agreed, concentrating just as hard as Starfire. "It's probably 'cause he doesn't talk, y'know? He kinda gives me the creeps, man..." Cyborg muttered, shivering as if the thought of Raven's rescuer scared him.
"Is it beacuse he's half demon? Does that make him creepy? Because if you haven't noticed; so am I." Raven replied defensively to Cyborg, annoyed that he was being predijust because of half of what the boy was. Her eyes darkened, taking on a black hue. "Woah! I didn't mean it like that Rae..." He said, raising his hands in the air, palms facing an angered Raven.
"Raven, calm down. Cyborg didn't mean to offend you or Kyd Wykkyd. And I have also noticed, that he isn't as... Not evil, but not as hell bent on getting what he wants like the rest of his team. He is almost... I don't think pure is the correct word to use, but maybe more save able as the others. It might be possible that we could reach out to him- Change what side he is on." Robin mused, talking to his self rather than Raven towards the end of his monologue.
The others nodded in agreement to Robin's statement, but Raven was still too angry to say anything other than, "Get out of my room now, please." Her dark voice was laced with a tad of passive agressiveness and he clentched her teeth together, trying not to lose her temper.
Once everyone had exited the room, Raven plopped down on her black bed, face buried in her soft pillow. A few moments later, she heard the soft rustling of her curtains, the sound of a pen scribbling on paper, and the sound of curtains again. Too scared to move, she sat there until she was sure whatever had come in her room was gone.
Shaking, she finally stood up and floated over to her dresser. The black dying rose was still there, and beside it lay a not. In spidery hand writing it read:
Thank you for defending me, but I don't mind. I deal with creepy all the time. ~ KW
She held the note in trembling hands, before dropping next to the rose. It danced in the air for a moment, floating down to the spot next to the withering plant where it would stay for a long, long time. Raven let out an unsteady breath, before closing her eyes and whispering, "N-no problem... I deal with it all the time too. I know you probably won't be there, but if you are then... Hi."
Raven refused to turn back to the window and check to see if the boy was there, but she knew she had to do it no matter how scared she was. The girl turned, her robe swirling around her thin frame as she moved. Her ivory eyelids opened slowly, as she prepared herself for what she knew she had to face.
