Chapter 4: Plans go underway
Raven awoke in a small, dark, damp room with the distant sound of water dripping slowly. She lifted her self up and brushed away the dirt from her cloak. There were no windows so she had no idea of knowing where abouts she was. She guessed pretty much first thing that it was Slade's new hideout, that was obvious. She reached down into her cloak to get her communicator to contact the titans and try to get help but Slade had obviously taken it from her. Suddenly, Slade's voice rang out from a speaker in the corner of the room. "Ahhhh. I see you have awoken. Hopefully Robin will put your health and safety before his own life and will agree to my offer." Slade's drooled out.
"I doubt it! Robin would never work for you again!" Raven shouted at him.
"Whatever you say my dear." Slade then turned the communicator/speaker thing off, leaving Raven to her own thoughts and worries.
"Raven" a low whisper called out to her.
Raven stirred from her hands and looked over to where the noise had come from. "Raven!" it whispered again. She went over to the dark corner and ran into something. Its strong arms wrapped around her and held her tight. She looked up to see Red X standing before her.
"How did you get here?" She asked in a whisper as well.
"I found this book from a book shop (yes it is the same bookshop at the beginning of the story where Raven ducks into to escape the rain.) That tells you this spell to transport. So I used it to get to you." X said very quickly and quietly.
"Oh. Okay" raven said, quite shocked that Robin had actually gone in a bookshop for books, not magazine books on cheats for games.
"Robin. So glad you could join us." Slade's voice called out from the doorway. "I had a feeling you would be dropping by soon. Had any thoughts on my offer?"
"Yes I have actually. My answer is never!" Robin spat back at him. With that, he grabbed hold of Raven and said a short spell.
Raven closed her eyes and felt like she was spinning through the dimensions of time. When the earth stopped moving she opened her eyes to be standing on a cliff edge looking out on the ocean, the wind blowing in her hair and the smell of the ocean all around her. She turned her head back to Robin. He still had his mask on. Raven smiled at it and reached up and lifted it off to reveal Robins handsome smile and handsome features. When she smiled it made Robin feel 10 times happier.
She wrapped her arms around his necked and they stood there on the cliff edge in a passionate kiss as if time it self had stopped.
Meanwhile at Slade's hideout. Slade's back up plan was starting. He called forward no other than a clone of Robin as Red X who had been manipulated into tricking Raven to believe he was the real Robin and that he was evil.
"Set forth and make that boy suffer for not working for me. Make him crack by ruining his precious relationship with that purple bird he loves so dearly.
Red X clone stepped out from the shadows and walked out of the door beginning his rampage on ruining the happy birds' lives! Slade's laugh rang out into the night air and set shivers running down all the titan's backs. They did not know what was ahead of them and of the lies and secrets Robin and Raven had been keeping which would be revealed very soon….
DUN DUN DUNNNNNNNNNN
