Time
The Visitor Part I
Recap:
"Rae, are you sure about this?" Cy asked me.
"Is your car your only baby?" I asked him. He knew that the answer to that was the answer to his question.
Robin's POV
Raven and Cyborg finally came back and the movie was finally over. We were just watching the credits until we started the next movie. We had to wait for them to get here.
"Yo, I found Raven talking to a mysterious guy on the phone. I made her invite him over to watch the last movie." Cyborg said.
Raven talks to guys? Since when?
"He told me he would be here soon and not to start the movie until he got here," Raven told us.
"Oh friend Raven! I did not know that you had a friend that is a male!" Star squealed. She flew over to Rae with a big smile, her hands clasped together in a hopeful manner. "Does he have a name? What does he look like? Is he nice?"
"Don't worry Star, you will find out soon enough." She gave Star a small smile that made my heart pound though it wasn't for me.
Wait. Who is the guy? How did they meet? Why haven't I ever met him? Why has she been hiding him?
"Hey Raven?" I called to her. "How long have you known him?"
The question sparked everyone's interest.
"About a few weeks after the time your Red X suit was stolen," She answered with a tone that sounded like she was deep in thought.
She hadn't noticed but she mentioned the suit being stolen I couldn't help but tense up. That suit… I should not have made that suit… I should never have been so crazy about finding Slade. All I did was hurt my friends.
Red X's POV
How am I dumb enough to be okay with this? I was the first one to kiss her… I do have somewhat of a lead there. But then Robin has known her longer. This is torturous.
I bought flowers for Raven. Deep purple roses. I hope she likes them. I'm now on my way to the Titans tower. I have only been there uninvited. And with my suit on. They won't know who I am as long as Cyborg and Raven don't spill who I really am. I feel naked without the suit and coming to this place. What if they do slip on who I am? No. Raven wouldn't do that to me and I know that she wouldn't let Cyborg do it either.
I parked my blood red Lamborghini in front of the Titans tower I grabbed the flowers and walked to the door. I rang the doorbell and waited.
Beast Boy came to answer the door. "You must be Raven's mystery friend." He gave me a weird look when he said the word 'mystery'. "Come on in, everyone's been waiting for you to get here," he said after looking me up and down.
"Oh dude, I forgot something in my car. Gimme a sec to get it," I told Beast Boy. I went back to my car and grabbed my wallet.
"What kind o-," He couldn't finish though. Once I said car, I had his interest. His jaw dropped to the floor when he saw one of my prized possessions. "Dude… that's… the most beautiful car I have ever seen…" he looked star-stricken. In the light of the moon I was able to see a tear form in his left eye.
"If you want to drive her you can. I have like three others back home. Actually, you can have her," I told him. This one I actually don't care much for anymore. Don't get me wrong she runs beautifully and I love her but I don't think that she can be mine for much longer. There is something about her I can't put my finger on…
"Dude, this is the greatest gift anyone has ever given me." Was the last thing that he said before he melted into my arms. "Carry me back inside, please?" He asked with big cat eyes.
I laughed. "Get up Beast Boy. You can melt once we get to wherever it is that you are taking me."
He got up and led me to the elevator. The ride up was filled with many thanks and comments and whatnot.
We finally reached our destination.
We got out of the elevator and walked to the sliding doors and once they opened Beast Boy announced my arrival.
Raven came up to me. "Here Raven, these are for you," I said handing her the flowers. She grabbed them while brushing her hand over mine. Her hand was so soft and warm I was amazed that I missed that earlier when I held her hand. Curses!
After looking at them closely she looked up at me and said, "They're beautiful." She gave me a smile and then hugged me and everyone in the room gasped. What? Has she never hugged anyone before me? No. She's hugged Robin before and I know it. I saw it with my own eyes. "What's your real name?" she whispered into my neck ignoring everyone around us.
"Xander," I whispered back. Then she let go.
"Hey, you guys, this is Xander. He's my friend," Raven introduced me.
Friend? That's it? Not love interest? Not boyfriend? Oh wait… Tard!
"Hey," I said grabbing Raven's hand.
I saw Robin tense up and so did Beast Boy. Cyborg gave us a smile and Starfire flew up in my face in an instant I almost jumped back in surprise.
"Oh Xander, please do tell me that you will be my new friend!" Starfire asked.
"Uh sure," I said and gave her a small smile.
"Oh glorious day! Please do tell us, how did you meet friend Raven?"
"It was actually when she went on a mission. You guys were chasing after the Red X guy and after wards we sort of ran into each other. After that I just couldn't stay away from her. She shared with me what her powers can do and almost every Saturday when I don't have work we meet up at a park close to my house and just talk and chill." I said. It was only half a lie. Okay, mostly a lie. I do have a job other than being a thief and I can't stay away from Raven.
"Aww, how sweet!" Starfire said. "Please, friend, do come sit with us on the couch. We are to begin with another movie. Friend Raven, give me the flowers so that I may put them in a vase for now." Raven gave her friend the flowers and we went to sit down. Raven led me to her usual spot in between Beast Boy and Robin.
"If I may ask, what is the movie we are going to watch?"
"Only the BEST movie of all time!" Beast Boy yelled while standing on the coffee table.
"Yo B, have you even seen the cover of the movie? I know you weren't paying attention when we got the movie." Cyborg said.
"NNOOOOOO!" Beast Boy yelled.
"What?" I asked. "What movie is it?"
"Oh stop Beast Boy it can't be that bad," Robin commented.
"It's an animated love film. Directed by Tim Burton," He began. "It's called… 'The Corpse Bride'. I don't like Tim Burton. He is dark and creepy. His films are dark and creepy."
I looked over to Raven. Her face had hardened at Beast Boys comment. He is very insensitive. Jerk…
"It could be a good movie," Robin said. As long as it makes Raven happy.
"Yeah Beast Boy," I said. "You never know until you find out."
"Just put the movie on already," My dark princess said from beside me. I looked at her and smiled a soft smile.
"Fine," said the changeling.
Beast Boy's POV
I think I hurt Raven's feelings with the dark and creepy comment again… Darn it! Why do I do this?! Should I just give up one her now? With the way I am, there is no way I will ever get with her. Besides, it already looks like that Xander guy has her. There is no hope for me. But like I told Cy, I will just have to wait for now.
Oh, my gosh. I can't wait to tell Cyborg of the gift Xander gave me. HA! He will be so shocked! I won't have to bug him about the T-car now that I have my own…
Starfire's POV
Friend Xander is sitting on the floor in front of friend Raven. Does he not like sitting on the couch? Or is that what friends do? If friends do that, why is it that none of us ever do that? Then it must not mean what I believe it means. Is it what the couples do? Yes it must be that. After seeing him hold dear friend Raven's hand I was sure they were together. Or is it as they say a "one sided" love? I will consult with friend Raven and friend Xander after the movie ends.
Robin's POV
Why is he sitting in between Raven's legs? She never lets anyone sit like that. Do I have a chance here? Yes. I am freaking Robin from the freaking Teen Titans. After I do a background check on Xander, the game is on!
I can't help but recognize him… Maybe I met him while I was still with Bruce. What if he knows I am Dick Grayson! This will not do.
But what if we were friends? It could be possible. He does look like someone that I would have hung out with back in high school… Was it high school? He looks older than I am. I don't know… ARGH! I hate not knowing anything!
Raven's POV
I enjoyed having Xander sit where he was sitting. I could keep a close eye on him. The movie began to play and already there is a practice wedding taking place. The boy Victor is super twig like and the girl Victoria can't play the piano.
I let my eyes drop down to Xander again. After the kiss I just can't get him out of my mind.
"Hey Raven," came boy blunder's voice inside my head and took me out of my trance. I must have been staring noticeably.
"What?"
"Are you and Xander together?"
I didn't answer him instead when the Emily character said her line "You may kiss the bride" I lifted up Xander's head to look at me and kissed him.
"Does this answer your question?"
Everyone in the room gasped.
In my defense, I only did it so that Robin wouldn't bother me like that the rest of the night.
Cyborg's POV
"I need water. Does anyone else want some?" Raven asked after nonchalantly kissing Xander. Everyone nodded their heads. "Cyborg, come help me."
I got up off my seat and followed Raven into the kitchen. Her eyes glowed white and the volume of the TV got louder. Once in the kitchen I was about to confront her but she beat me to saying something. "You and Xander are going to have to do it alone. Star wants me to talk to her tonight and eventually she will want to talk to Xander tonight as well. Will you both be able to handle it?"
"Sure Rae, but the move you just pulled was not cool to Beast Boy or Robin. It was like a total slap to the face." She just shrugged and she filled cups with water.
"Carry this tray, I will get some snacks."
After that I left Raven to do her thing.
Xander's POV
I'm not going to lie, I did enjoy Raven's surprise.
"Scraps?" Said Victor from the movie. It was a bone dog. His dog that died…
Flashback!
"Mom why can't I get a dog? Everyone else at school has one!" little Xander whined to his poor mother.
"Because, Xander, we don't have the money to be taking care of a pet."
"Well, when I grow up I will be rich that way we can have lots of pets and you won't have to work anymore," little Xander said with a big smile.
Came Christmas time, Xander did get a pet dog. He named it Kay. It was his only friend for years. Then a few years later when Xander turned fourteen, his mother became incredibly ill. Not long after she had died. His only family left was Kay. He didn't live long after though. He died a year later. Xander was devastated. He swore he would never love another living thing ever again.
End Flashback!
Well, I guess that didn't work out. I kept my head looking at the TV with my eyes closed. I was holding back the tears that were threatening to come out.
I felt Raven sit behind me again and the tears were immediately gone. I tilted my head to rest against her leg. In her I felt comfort. In her I can love again. Because of her I will love again.
