Reposting is so much fun… (coughSarcasmcough)
Remember how I screwed up? And now Raven's gone because of it?
It started when she went missing one day…
Now I'm slowly regretting everything as all the consequences of my actions just rush back to me in a blur. I just wish… I wish I hadn't made that deal with him. I fucked up; I know it. But still… I can't do anything anymore! He's probably going to tell her, hell, he probably already did! And now… now…
She'll hate me for it. Maybe she does now; I don't know what the hell X has been telling her. I make ONE mistake, BAM! The whole team hates me. They don't think I trust them anymore, but I do! Its just… they wouldn't have acted like they normally would have. Is that my fault? I doubt Starfire and Beast Boy can act… don't know about the others.
No! This is NOT the time to think about Star and BB's acting skills! Right now I have to focus on getting Raven back.
I need to. I have to.
Beast Boy pulled at his green hair, threatening to rip it out. "Dude! She's missing!" He exclaimed, his voice pitch high in worry for Raven.
Robin glared at him from the computer. "You think I don't know that?" He yelled back sourly.
Chaos had ensued since Raven was declared as missing. She wasn't in her room and she hadn't been for the past day or so… Her communicator had been destroyed, it seemed, since Cyborg couldn't get a track on her. The communicator located on Raven's cloak had been destroyed as well, and now they had no way of finding her.
"Friends!" Starfire injected herself into the conversation, knowing she was the mediator. "We mustn't fight! We must find friend Raven and help her!"
It was as if Raven disappeared of the face of the Earth… Cyborg knew that there was a hidden locator chip in her skin, but it took a while to pinpoint Raven's location since Raven's white blood cells were constantly attacking the unknown object.
Usually Raven would be here, trying to signal out their aura signatures.
Only she wasn't here.
Robin sighed and removed himself from the commotion, running his hand through his spiky hair.
This was his entire fault… what was he going to do? How was he going to fix this?
He had to… Raven's life probably depended on it.
He had tracked her to the pier before. She may not know it, but he heard her outside his door. That's why he ended the call.
He had tracked Red X to the pier as well…
He knew Raven could take care of herself, but that wasn't why he was worried.
Red X… would he tell?
They had a deal dammit! You don't break deals! X e probably did tell Raven, after all, she had never come back. Did he make a deal with her too?
No Raven! Red X doesn't keep his promises…
He already had her in his grasp then…
Oh no… Robin thought, the look of dread on his face. There's nothing stopping him from telling.
"This better be good", Raven warned, knowing she risked too much to come see him in the first place. The Titans were probably looking for her, and it was only a matter of time until the locator chip hidden underneath her skin alerted the Titan's to her presence.
X smirked and leaned against a pale green wall. "Babe, this is the paparazzi's dream come true."
Raven raised an eyebrow. In the back of her mind she couldn't help but think the paparazzi would go crazy if she sneezed, but she didn't verbally comment on it. "Okay then. What is it?"
X looked out the window which had a view of the pier. They were on the 22nd floor, high enough to detect anyone trying to interrupt their conversation. X realized that Robin was probably suspecting him "breaking the deal", but to be honest he didn't really care. The faster Robin cracked, the easier it would be to finish the final job.
"I'm not telling you that easily", X said when he finally turned back to her. "How do I know you won't go back to the Titans after this?"
A scowl formed on Raven's face, "You said you'd tell me if I came with you, and I did. Fess up."
X tsked again, and Raven was finding that little habit of his very annoying. "Sweetheart, that's not what I meant and you know it."
"Don't call me that."
"What, sweetheart? Get used to it babe, you'll be with me for a longtime."
Raven rolled her eyes and crossed her arms, trying not to lose her cool over this egoistic jerk. She looked around the building, with its pale green plaster walls and dark forest green carpet, and she wondered if this is where he stayed.
"I don't live here by the way. We're trespassing on private property, but right now, I doubt you care."
She growled. "Just tell me already."
"No way darling. Not till I'm sure you're staying with me."
Silence. Raven was staring at X angrily, trying to keep herself from ripping him apart limb from limb.
"Ya know, this wasn't how it was supposed to work out."
"What?" She asked, hating the feeling of confusion echoing in her mind.
"This." He pointed to her and himself. "I was supposed to keep meeting you until… nah. I'm not telling you till I'm sure of our situation. Besides, I didn't really think Chuckles would be an idiot enough to actually let me meet you."
"WHAT? Robin's in on this?" Her suspicions had been confirmed, and it only made her angry.
"Of course, whoops I said too much. I really shouldn't continue and tell you how or why he did this."
Raven inwardly groaned.
She had to figure out a way to get X to tell. What was he hiding? Why did Robin set all of this up, letting Red X battle her?
Her mind was working at full speed, faster than usual.
I need to know… if I don't, I know for a fact that Robin won't tell me. He'll probably find a way out of this.
But how? How do I get X to tell without me without the consequences playing out?
Again, this is the reposted version of this chapter.
