8 Weeks Later

Raven was practicing her powers and enhancing them everyday, while at the same time Robin was teaching her hand to hand combat in case she couldn't use her powers and surprisingly to Robin she caught on quickly and was almost better than him. But, everything seemed normal, except that Robin and Raven began to go out and Starfire was devastated at first but soon recovered quickly by going out with Speedy. Raven though, began to change, her hair was long to her mid-back, and she controlled her emotions making her able to express her feelings without anything breaking. Raven began to look back in the books Malchior had given her, and in no time she could duplicate herself, and summon her opponent's fears. One day, Robin was teaching Raven some new movies when the alarm went off, all the Titans appeared at the screen to see a red "x" on the screen in a jewelry store, "Titans GO!" Robin yelled, every Titan took off, as they arrived they saw Red X leaning against a wooden beam tossing the jewel in his hand.

"Wow, again it takes you long to get here!" Red X complained, as he straightened up as he saw Raven in the shadows with her hood down, and boy did she look better than before.

"Titans GO!" Robin yelled, as everyone charged, Red threw 3 "x's" at Starfire who was shocked, and unconscious. Then 2 at Beastboy one going him to the floor the other also shocking him as he was unconscious. Another 2 at Cyborg, both shutting down his system shutting it off. Soon Robin was in a straight jacket, but still conscious even though he struggled against the bindings. Raven, however, used her aura to rip them apart like they were paper.

"Come on X, your old tricks? Please, you can do better." Raven taunted, as they both got in a battle stance. "Come on move, I dare you." Raven smiled, knowing Red X's temper was rising.

"As you insist," Red X starts off running throwing punches at Raven, which she easily dodged and managed to kick him in the ribs. Red X throws a huge "x" but it fazed through her like a ghost.

"Come on X, I thought you could do better," Raven was walking towards him, Red X teleports behind her, but Raven multiplied herself so instead of her he grabbed a copy that faded away.

"Come on X, can't you do better, and to think I used to feel threatened by you." All of the Raven clones teased at the same time, they were circled around Red X who happened to be in the middle, looking for a way to escape. As he saw all the clones' hands begin to glow he teleported himself to see the energy hit each other by each other's blasts. All of them faded, but the true Raven who was on the floor getting up a few yards away.

"Nice try, but you're all out of tricks." Red X smirks, but still sees Raven smiles.

"You'd think," Raven smiled as she chanted, "I summon the creatures of the dark come to me with the fears of this one," Raven began to grow as black tentacles were grabbing Red X bringing him under as he fears began to attack him. (Think of what she did to Dr. Light.) Raven could hear Red X yelling, as she released him he gasped for air, to see her smiling.

"You've……gotten…better," Red X complimented catching his breath, "But, not smarter." Raven looked up to see and explosive red "x," as it explodes the ceiling come crashing down, but Raven was able to hold it up with her powers. That is before Red X knocked her down making the pieces fall to the ground.

"Give up?" Red X asked tauntingly, as he pinned her to the ground,

"Never!" Raven spat back at him, kicking him in the stomach sending him back.

"Suit yourself," Red X replied coolly getting in a stance, Raven charged at him throwing punches that he dodged, but she swept her legs under his making him fall she then axed kicked him in the back, making him gasp for air. Red X was heaving Raven smiled, Raven ran up and kicked up in the stomach making him sprawled out on the floor.

"Who's won now?" Raven asked devilishly, when she got no response she ran over. Raven pulled his mask half way to his lips and gave him mouth to mouth, as Raven tried on more time Red X got his hand behind her head and pulled her down for one more time. Raven gave in, she kissed him back, but when they parted Raven put his mask back,

"See you love me," Red X smiled under the mask.

"You can think that," Raven responded, as she used her magic to pin him just by his hands and feet. Raven ran over to help the other Titans, as Robin came over and so did the other Titans.

"Raven can you-" Robin was cut off,

"Sure," Raven raised her hand so that Red X was levitated in front sprawled out.

"Well, well, took you guys long enough to catch me." Red X taunted, as Robin growled in response.

"Friend Robin what should we do?" Starfire asked,

"Unmask the villain," Robin stated coming closer to Red X,

"Yeah, I finally can see who keeps messing up my hair," complained Beastboy having an eager face.

"Dude, who cares about your hair," Cyborg shot back, as Robin was about to pull the mask over, Raven's aura surrounded the mask and pulled it down.

"Raven! What do you think you're DOING!?" Robin demanded, as he turned around to see Raven a few feet away.

"We shouldn't Robin," Raven responded very calm as Robin stalked towards her,

"And WHY not?!" Robin yelled again, now both Titans a few feet from where Red X was, and the other Titans whispering to each other about what to do.

"Because, taking off his mask, is like taking yours off with force." Raven explained, still calm but she was growing more irritated by the second.

"This is MY mission! And my TEAM! You OBEY me!" Robin yelled again,

"Excuse ME! Who just saved him! Hmmm! You just beat him!" Raven yelled back as her anger was growing by the second.

"Well why did YOU do it!" Robin yelled again, trying to trap her in a corner.

"'Well why did I' WHAT?!" Raven demanded, as everyone stared shock.

"Why did you save HIM?!" Robin yelled again this time pressing into a touchy subject. "After all HE'S put you through RAVEN!" Robin was beyond mad, and no way was she going to get out of this one.

"We are not KILLERS Robin! We SAVE people!" Raven yelled back, determined to win this argument.

"Well, at least some of us are," Robin mumbled, but everyone could hear it.

"Dude, not cool," Cyborg's voice rang out, as Raven's cloak was becoming red.

"Fine! You think because I'm half demon I KILL! Well, if that's how you feel fine! We're over! And I'm leaving the Teen Titans! If I have to take orders from you" Raven yelled back, her cloak now starting to go back to normal.

"Fine! GO! Who's gonna take you in! Huh! No one care about you! You're just a creepy little creature that doesn't care about anything!" Robin spat back, now realizing hat he said. Raven slapped him across the check making Robin's head turn sideways where the hand mark laid. Robin looked back shocked,

"Don't you EVER talk about me like THAT!" Raven spat back as she turned step to the side of Red X who was speechless. "Good luck Robin, cause I'm the only good member on this team." Raven turned to face the shocked faces, but one angry and hurt one. "Oh, and by the way Dick, your blue eyes, aren't that much to look at." Robin's eyes went wide, as everyone dropped their mouths as Raven teleported herself and Red X to the park. Raven released her energy on Red X,

"You're free now go," Raven instructed, as tears began to swell up in her eyes as she sits on a nearby bench under a tree with the full moon above them.

"Why'd you do it?" Red X asked as he sat next to her, making her look into his masked eyes.

"Because, you didn't deserve that, Robin should've known that, your identity is the most valuable thing, so it seemed wrong to be stripped of your dignity." Raven explained, as tears started to slide off of her pale checks.

"Where are you gonna go?" Red X asked, as he wiped away the tears,

"I don't know, and I can't go back there," Raven replied, thinking she could go start a new life.

"Stay with me," Red X offered, as he saw her expression get shocked, as he looked in her eyes he saw sadness, hatred, but most of all love.

"X….I don't….." Raven trailed off, as Red X scooted closer wrapping his arms around her shoulders pulling her in.

"Please," Red X pleaded, as he heard her breathing start to steady out, he saw her mouth open as she responded by saying,
