Raven tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep while Robin was tightly tucked behind her softly snoring as he slept. She inwardly groaned, it was useless to think that sleep was obtainable for her tonight. She quietly slipped her legs out from under the covers and rearranged Robin's arms so that she was able to sneak out of bed undiscovered.

Raven sat on the edge of the roof with a warm cup of tea in hand. She was dreading the one question she hadn't allowed herself to think out loud. Was she truly happy with Robin? Sure, he did things that made her happy. And he did make her happy. But could a relationship be built on nothing but happiness? She mentally slapped herself. She knew what she was saying made no sense whatsoever. But deep down the nagging continued. Would she ever be able to be with Robin without the tiny thought that there was a part of her that wasn't totally committed? Robin was the one person who didn't seem to know who she was at all but knew her better than she knew herself all at the same time. What killed her most was that Robin was completely committed to her, and she knew he was not capable of infidelity. But is one kiss really considered "cheating"? Could it spark a bigger issue in their relationship? Not that she thought there was a bigger issue, but still. What was wrong with her? She knew nothing she was thinking made any sense and that disturbed her more than anything. How was she supposed to tell Robin that she kissed another man? He would be completely devastated, and knowing Robin, he would somehow blame himself. Not only that, but he would truly believe that it was his fault.

Raven sat with nothing but a warm cup of tea and the silence wrapped around her. Normally Raven sat in comfort with silence. She liked being alone with her thoughts and knowing that nothing could disturb her. But tonight was different, she had too much on her mind and it didn't seem like she was going to get any sort of reprieve. Another part of her, and she liked to believe that was Intelligence, that she was over analyzing things. She knew she was thinking too much into things and that over thinking things almost always created a problem, a problem that, of course, was never there in the first place. Unfortunately, for Raven there was a problem, and not one that she created out of thin air. She knew that she needed to be honest with Robin, and fess up. But she just couldn't. Raven stared hopelessly out towards the water as it lazily lapped at the shore in front of the tower. She felt her eyes start to water and allowed the tears to quietly flow down her face.

She was so absorbed in her silent crying that she hadn't realized Robin behind her, slowly wrapping his arms around her waist in a tight embrace. For the first time since she had betrayed Robin, she gave a small smile that he climbed out of bed to join her. Despite living in a very large house, they didn't have the luxury of being alone very often.

"I love you so very much." Raven whispered as she leaned back into his arms. But as soon as the words left her lips she felt his body tighten considerably.

Raven sat up sharply, nervous as she twisted her body around to read Robin's face. Her mouth fell open, helpless as to what to do as her brain had already grasped the realization her mouth quickly fought to gain. Because when she turned around, she hadn't expected to see Red X, sitting comfortably behind her with his arms loosely hanging off her body. Her emotions had reacted much faster than she had, and thankfully, they had blasted him away from her as she tried to stand, her legs not quite cooperating as she shakily made her way up.

Red X, however seemed completely un-phased as he dusted himself off and cautiously walked towards her.

"That's no way to treat a guest, my dear Raven." Raven shook her head; she didn't know what to be more upset about, the fact that he touched her or the fact that he called her my dear Raven. Raven was much more alert by this point and stalked over to him.

"What in the hell do you think you're doing?" Raven was shaking with anger, jutting her finger into his chest. Red X grabbed her hand in his and lightly ducked his head as if in shame.

"I just missed you…" He was barely audible Raven thought she hadn't heard him. Because what he did say, she was almost certain there was no way he said that.

"Excuse me? Did you just say you missed me? What in the hell are you talking about? We've barely even spoken!" Raven's heart was now beating erratically, because she knew even as she said the words out loud she needed to believe them. She needed to know he was just being crazy, even though deep, deep down, her fears were being recognized. She almost wasn't even surprised when he peeled off his mask and she was staring deep into Cameron's sea foam eyes.

"Hey Raven." He barely had time to give her any sort of greeting before she yanked his arm towards a sitting position.

"We need to talk." Her words were like acid, and he knew what he had done was stupid. Stupid and reckless. But even though she was pissed at him, she was at least talking to him. And he would gladly take that than no contact at all.

He sat down and smiled at her, trying to lighten things up. Truthfully, he was a little scared; he knew that what she had to tell him wouldn't be good. And he knew he would be disappointed. So before she had the chance to open her mouth, he spoke for her.

"What do you want to know?" he gave her another smile, this time a little smugly. Letting her know he was in no way happy.

"Who are you?" Raven looked at him now. Really looked at him. His black hair fell just beneath his eyes, unlike Robin's who always kept it spiked and out of the way. His eyes had a softness to them that Raven wasn't used to, like they still had an innocence to them. The bags under his eyes and the way his hands fidgeted were clear signs he hadn't been getting the necessary 8 hours.

"I'm nobody." He said it so casually that she had almost shrugged it off. Almost.

"That's bullshit. Anybody who says they're nobody lacks some personal attachment, or they think they're some sort of deep intellectual. Neither of those seem to be the issue, so for once; can you just be real with me?" Raven was almost pleading with him now, not something she enjoyed.

"There isn't much to tell. I was just some spoiled brat with a trust fund. I was living comfortably and had everything I wanted, but I did everything I was told. But things changed, my parents were beginning to be less and less involved and I was desperate for attention. So when I was in high school I hung out with the wrong crowd, I stayed out late and did some things I'm not proud of. And when my parents found I was drinking and smoking pot, they suddenly seemed to be totally aware, but honestly, when they found out I wanted to go to college for art and not engineering like I had always talked about, that's when things got bad. They threw me out, closed my trust fund and left me with nothing but the clothes on my back. People have to make a living Raven. Even if it means doing things you don't want to do." He was almost whispering now, and Raven no longer saw Red X. She saw Cameron, the seemingly harmless man she had met in the café.

"Cameron, you know that there is nothing for us. You're supposed to be an enemy, and one that Robin has a special hatred for. It's not exactly a secret we're together. I'm not yours to claim." Her voice had hardened now, a clear sign she had had enough and wasn't falling for his sad story. "You need to leave. You had no business being here." She stood up sharply, turning to leave when she felt him tug her back down.

"There's no way you can sit here and tell me that you felt nothing. That you have no feelings for me whatsoever."

"I can and I am. Don't make me force you to leave." Raven's hands faintly started to glow and Red X stood swiftly.

"Fine. I'll leave. But I can guarantee you that this won't be the last time you see me." Red X stood with his mask in hand, he leaned in and swiftly kissed Raven's cheek. Before she could react he had already replaced his mask and was gone, leaving Raven to stew in her anger.

I know it's been forever, but I randomly got the urge to write and finish the story. I have a few things planned and can't wait to get them posted!
