Raven flew home with a smile on her face. She got to the tower and immediately went to her room. She flung herself on her bed and giggled (I know. SO not something Raven would do but I had to give her a girly side. If you don't like it, don't read.).
Raven eventually fell asleep but was wakened by the alarm going off. Robin was outside of her door. "Raven! Emergency!" he yelled.
She groaned and halfheartedly went to the living room to see what was happening.
"What is it NOW?" she asked once she entered.
"It's the Hive Five," Robin answered while running by her, the other titans following him.
Her stomach tightened. That's what he meant, she thought as she remembered Kyd Wykkyd's words.
She flew out of the tower and caught up with the titans. They ended up at a jewelry store that just happened to be right next to the bank. One by one, the Hive Five filed out of the two stores. But Kyd Wykkyd was no where to be seen. For that, Raven was grateful.
Jinx came out of the stores last, a bag of money attached to her waist and a diamond necklace around her neck. She had a smirk on her face as her gaze fell upon Raven. "Well, well, well. If it isn't the titans. What a wonderful surprise." The sorceress said.
Suddenly, Kyd Wykkyd appeared by Jinx in his uniform. His eyes flew to Raven and he frowned. She frowned back. Jinx smirked. Without taking her eyes off of the titans, Jinx commanded Kyd Wykkyd. "Go, Wykkyd. Get some stuff for yourself."
Raven's frown deepened. Don't do it, Wykkyd. She pleaded in her mind, hoping that he'd heard her. You can stop this. Don't do it. PLEASE.
He smiled apologetically at her and teleported into the vault, coming out with two sacks of money. She shook her head at him. He frowned some more.
"Enough!" Robin yelled. "Titans GO!"
All the titans and Hive Five attacked except for Jinx, Kyd Wykkyd, and Raven and Beastboy. Beastboy tugged on Raven's cloak. "C'mon Raven. Robin said 'Titans GO!' we have to GO! C'mon!" The green boy ran off towards Kyd Wykkyd, jumped in the air and transformed mid-flight into a tiger.
Kyd Wykkyd stepped away from Jinx and took a step to the side, closer to Raven. Beastboy ran towards Kyd Wykkyd, making sure he didn't get anywhere near his friend, Raven. Kyd Wykkyd took a step closer, his eyes locked on Beastboy's movements. He reached out for Raven and she took a step towards Beastboy. He extended his arm further. Raven, he thought. Raven, take my hand.
Beastboy was in human form again. "Over my dead body!" He transformed once again and lunged at Raven's love.
Jinx chuckled and with a flick of her wrist, crumbled the ground beneath the two titans and Wykkyd. Beastboy missed Wykkyd by a foot. Wykkyd landed neatly on his feet, Beastboy in the sewer water, and Raven fell on her ankle near the entrance of the sewer, twisting it. She screamed out in agony, which made Jinx smile. Raven clutched her ankle, healing herself.
Kyd Wykkyd was immediately by her side, wiping away the tears of pain that had escaped from her eyes. Shh. It's okay. He murmured thoughtfully.
"Get away from her, you vampire wannabe!" Beastboy yelled as altered into a gator. Beastboy snapped his jaws at Kyd Wykkyd with his hands raised.
Hey, man, I'm trying to help her. Kyd Wykkyd explained.
Jinx shook her head in disappointment towards Wykkyd and clicked her tongue. "You really shouldn't have said that, Kyd."
Suddenly, the ladder to the outside world collapsed on Raven, breaking some of her ribs.
RAVEN! Kyd Wykkyd yelled in his mind. He tried to teleport to her side but he was preoccupied by Beastboy.
Gizmo whistled, calling for Wykkyd. "Hey, Wykkyd! Let's go, man!" Gizmo took off using his jet pack.
Mammoth ran THROUGH buildings, Seemore used one of his many eyes to get away and Jinx ran. Kyd Wykkyd took one last sad look at Raven before teleporting back to the Hive. Beastboy looked around frantically, making sure the Hive Five were really gone. Robin jumped in the sewer and pushed the ladder off of Raven.
Beastboy changed back to human form and ran to Robin's side. "Raven! Is she okay, Robin?"
"I-I don't know, BB" Robin said, never taking his eyes off of the girl in front of him
Raven's breath was shallow and labored, as if it hurt her to do so. Gently, Robin lifted her up and Starfire brought them back to the surface.
"Cyborg!" Robin called. The T car came into view, with Cyborg up front.
"Put her in," the robot said. Robin nodded and pulled Raven into the back with him, cradling her in his strong arms.
During the ride home, Raven's lips trembled and she could still hardly breathe. She started mumbling something but they couldn't hear. Robin put his ear closer to hear what she was saying.
"Wykkyd." She said. He blinked in surprise at her. Did he hear her correctly? "Wykkyd," she repeated.
He was shocked. She was calling for Wykkyd. He knew now. Raven and Kyd Wykkyd? He swallowed back his anger and stared out the window.
The ride home was silent. Once parked in the garage, Cyborg and Robin got out, taking Raven to the infirmary. After bandaging her up, Robin took Raven to her room. He placed her gently on her bed.
The boy wonder sat next to her and brushed her short, purple hair out of her pale face. "Really, Raven?" He asked the unconscious half-demon girl. "Kyd Wykkyd?" He saw the corners of Raven's mouth turn up at the sound of his name.
"Wykkyd," she moaned and turned over onto the good side of her broken body.
He sighed and left her room. He stopped and took one last look at his sleeping friend. "Raven. If only you knew…" he trailed off and left her to her dreams.
Uh oh! Is little Robin jealous? Omhj! I think he IS. Comment and review. Next chapter is ALL about Kyd Wykkyd and Raven. Just those two show up. It's probably gonna be really short. Sorry. Thnx guys!
