Chapter 10: Elevator Mishap

Robin and Raven made their way down the hall slowly, both tired and wanting to fall asleep. Raven was on Robin's back halfway, her legs loosely around his waist and arms around his neck. Raven's eyes were closed as she leaned her cheek against his back, slowly drifting off. Robin's eyes were open but would droop sometimes, only to jolt them open and make sure he was still holding onto Raven.

Suddenly Robin saw the elevator in sight and sighed with relief. They could go in there for a while and see what floor to go to. He trudged on and finally came to it. He pressed the button with one hand while the other arm stayed under Rae's leg to support her.

It didn't open.

Robin gritted his teeth together. He wanted that damn door to open so he could go in there and rest for a while. He punched it with his arm and the doors still didn't open. He growled and felt Raven move. He looked over his shoulder at her to make sure she was okay when she moved her head to be on his shoulder, her chin pressed against it, so her mouth was touching the tip of his nose. Robin smiled and then turned back to the elevator.

"There has to be a way to get this open…" he said aloud to himself as he thought back to how they got the other door open in the Main Room. It had taken both of them to get the door to open. He wasn't going to disturb Raven right now though.

He couldn't kick it open like regular doors, which would have worked beautifully in this situation. The door wasn't working with the buttons from the outside, but once inside they would work.

His distraught face then turned to one of relief as he realized that Cyborg had installed an emergency keypad to open the doors to the elevator somewhere along the sides. He felt around the sides of the elevator in the dark and finally his hand felt a small bump. He put his thumb under the bottom of it and a little flap door opened, revealing the keypad.

"All right, now what's the code…" Robin said as he looked at the ten numbers displayed before him.

He thought for a while. What had he set for the code? This was sad…he was the one that had set all of the codes because he was the leader. He had to put something in it that had to be special…

He then smiled to himself, remembering what he had put. He punched in the numbers 1126…Raven's birthday.

Suddenly the doors to the elevator screeched slightly and then came open. Robin grinned with satisfaction and brought Raven and himself into it, the door closing behind them.

He then sat on the floor, Raven still leaning on his back comfortably, as he leaned forward so not to move her from her spot or push her against the wall. He looked up at all the buttons and saw many numbers. Now where would be a good place to go?

Raven started to stir as she took her arms up from around his neck and stretched them up in the air lazily. She then put them back where they had been and opened her eyes. Her body was pressed right up against Robin's and they were in a confined space. It looked like the elevator. She began to panic slightly.

"Robin, what's going on? What happened?" she asked in sudden alarm, not knowing what was going on. Robin stood up, her clinging onto him tighter now out of fear.

"It's all right Raven. We're just in the elevator. We're safe…it's okay…" he told her as he approached the buttons. She peered over him to see what was going on.

"Think that the roof would work if we pressed it?" Robin asked out – loud, more to himself then Raven but she answered him anyway.

"I don't know…it could get stalled on the top and then we'd be stuck in here because we couldn't get out…" she told him. Robin looked at all the rest of the buttons. Main Room, Bedrooms, Ground floor, 2nd floor, Roof and Basement. The basement was definitely out of the question.

"I say roof, let's try it just to see if all of the possible exits are blocked." He told her as he reached out and was about to press the button when Raven quickly threw her arm at his and grabbed it. Robin turned back at her, puzzled.

"What if we can't make it out? What happens if there's someone else up there that wants to kill us again…" she went on.

"They could be anywhere Raven, so it's all pretty much all on chance." He responded calmly as he again tried for the Roof button, but Raven's grip on him tightened as she held him back.

"Robin…" she said.

"Raven…" he mimicked.

She sighed. "It could be dangerous…"

"Anywhere could be dangerous Raven. This whole Tower is a house of horror that's come to life. So really, there's no problem in me touching this button." He told her as he pressed it. The elevator hesitated for a while but then slowly moved upward, allowing Raven to loosen her grip on the Boy Wonder. Robin grinned.

"See? No harm done." He told her.

As they neared the roof it slowed down again and was crawling up. Raven relaxed a bit more and concentrated on her breathing and Robin's scent. Robin could feel this and swung her around now so that she was still attached to him, but now only so that they were face to face.

"Raven…" he started as he leaned slightly closer to her, but hesitated as he looked deep into her eyes.

"Robin…" she mimicked this time, also leaning in so that their noses were touching. "I…I think that I – " she started as they leaned in, closing their eyes, were about to kiss and she was about to confess.

But that was stopped short when the elevator suddenly stopped and they weren't yet to the top. It bobbed in its place slightly and went up a little and then down. Raven looked up from Robin to look up out of instinct. Robin did too.

They heard the sound of wires being cut…

"It…it sounds like wires are being cut…" Robin said as he looked back at Raven's face. They heard a final swift as if a blade cut the cords. Both of their eyes grew wide and before the two knew it they were screaming at the top of their lungs, falling down the elevator shaft.

Raven still hung onto Robin. Both of them were suspended in the air do to the fact of them hurtling down the Tower so fast. Robin held onto Raven tightly around her waist and kept her as close to him as possible. Now he knew what she felt like levitating like this, and it was scary.

"What are we going to do!!!" Raven cried out to him. Robin looked around the elevator that was zooming down, threatening to take their lives away soon. He saw the escape door at the top of the elevator since his back was facing the floor. He looked at Raven then.

"Do you trust me?" he said over the roar of the speeding elevator.

"Y-yes! Yes I do!" she told him. He nodded his head.

"Then I need you to hold on tightly, and no matter what, don't let go of me!" he told her. "Can you do that now?"

"Yes Robin! Just save us!" she said in a panicky voice as she clung onto him like glue, tightly wrapping her legs around his waist even more and arms around his neck, if that was even possible.

He then reached his foot out kicked the wall, sending him towards the other. He looked behind him at that wall and stretched his arm out and pushed him upward. He did this quickly and then reached the door. He finally let go of Raven completely now as he undid the latch to it and hung on to the top of the rope inside, waiting for impact. Raven hung on as tightly as she could to Robin.

Suddenly they hit the ground and the elevator doors opened up quickly from the force of the impact. Robin also let go of the rope because of it and Raven and him fell to the ground, her still in his arms as they wrapped around her once more.

"We're alive Raven…it's okay now…" he soothed her. Yet she did not loosen her grip on him.

"So…tired…" she finally responded to him as she loosened her limbs from him, keeping them in the same place but relaxing them now. She leaned her head on his upper chest and closed her eyes, passed out from exhaustion and fear.

Robin looked down at her and thought she had the right idea. He had no idea where they were in the Tower and at the moment he was too tired to figure that out. So he closed his eyes and leaned his head on Raven's, falling into a deep and distant dream…

And that was exactly what the man that had cut down the elevator cords wanted them to do…they were now at his mercy…


End Chapter

Oh who is that other then the man with the razor sharp nails himself! Some of you may know whose RAZOR SHARP FINGER NAILS belonged to cause we talked about it. :)

And now they're asleep and defenseless…what will happen to them while they dream…

And Raven was so close to slipping up and admitting her feelings in the elevator! But of course it was ruined and the horror shall not stop soon. I had to add a bit of romance into this chapter…I'm trying to do that with all of my chapters.

So what did you all think about this chapter? I'm so glad I did it sooner then later I am very proud of this chapter to say the least I wanted to do something with that elevator I just HAD too.

Okay so please do leave me a review to tell me what you think of it, and I will try and update A.S.A.P. :)
