Chapter 10
Meeting Her
All was quiet in the palace of Tameran. Suddenly, an ear-piercing scream came. Beast Boy and Cyborg slowly stirred from the floor of the game room to see a beaming Starfire.
"Friends, please get up quickly. Today, we are going home. Do you not remember?" she said while shaking them both.
"Okay, okay Star. We got the message. You can let go of us now." Said Beast Boy fully awake and wiping any remains of drool from his face.
"Let's pack." Cried Cyborg and he ran to his room with Beast Boy and Starfire following.
Beep ……… Beep……… Beep……… Beep……… Beepppppppp………
Raven groaned and slammed her fist on her alarm clock but the beeping still didn't stop. She sat up on her bed and looked around the room for the source of the sound. She finally found that it was her PC that she had bought a week ago. She quickly flipped it open and found that there was a message for her. She opened it and saw that it was from Robin. She quickly read it:
Hey! Wake up sleepy head! It's 10 in the morning already! So, get your butt in the bathroom and have a quick shower. Have your breakfast and don't forget to take your medicine. Meet me on the roof after you're done.
Luv, Rob.
Raven smiled and looked at the bedside clock to find that it was indeed 10 in the morning. She quickly ran to the bathroom and found that Robin had already filled the tub with warm water and lavender soap. She took off her clothes and stepped into the warm water and relaxed.
After 10 minutes of relaxing, she stepped out of the bathroom relaxed. She hurriedly got dressed and ran down the corridor to the kitchen and ate the breakfast Robin had prepared for her. She then dumped the plates in the dish washer and took her medicine and grimaced at the bitter taste of the pills. She slowly started walking to the roof door.
Robin sighed, today was the day, today was the day he would tell her. There would be no interruptions. He had cleared everything before she woke up. This was the day. Then, why was he feeling so nervous? Why?
Suddenly, he heard footsteps and knew who it belonged to. He quickly made his way behind the door. A moment later, the door opened to reveal his dark angel, Raven. She looked around and called out to him. He smiled and silently crept up to her.
"Robin! Rob…….Ahhh!"
"Sorry if I startled you, Rae." Robin said with his smooth, seductive voice.
"Yeah, right. So what did you want to tell me?" asked Raven as she turned around to face Robin. But he walked over to the edge of the roof of titans tower and leaned against it.
"Raven, I…….I………….I don't know how to tell you this Raven but………" Robin started.
At that instant, Raven knew what he was going to say. She wouldn't, couldn't let him say that. She was going to destroy earth one day and here he was making love to her. He was suppose to stop her and kill her, not help her.
"Don't Robin, just don't say it. Please." Raven shouted with her hands over her ears trying to close out his voice. She kneeled down on the floor of the roof and Robin ran to her side.
"Raven, don't do this to me. To us." He said while trying to pull down her hands.
"Don't, Robin. Please don't say them. I won't, can't give you the answer you want." She cried softly. Robin hugged her and stroked her violet hair. Tears started to stream down Raven's pale cheeks.
"I don't want an answer. I just want you to know that I will keep you happy. I want to." He said to her softly.
"It's not long until I bring the destruction of the world. Robin, do you know that? It could be tomorrow or even tonight! By then, I would be the cause of your death and millions more. How can you expect an answer from me when you know I will kill you or leave you in the end?" She screamed out.
"Raven! Raven! Listen to me. Listen. I don't want an answer from you. All I want to do is keep you happy. No matter how long it is. I don't care if it's a minute or an hour or a day. Do you hear me Raven? I don't care how long! As long as I can keep you happy and protect you." He said softly this time and her hands lowered from her ears and her eyes widened with surprise. She turned to him.
"I mean it Raven. I really do. I don't know how it happened but I just know it's not a trick. It's real, Raven."
"Really? You promise to be there for me no matter what?" she asked with her eyes wide.
"I promise, Rae. I promise." He said with a soft smile and she smiled back at him.
Their heads closed the distance between and Robin whispered, "I love you, Rae."
"I love you too, Richard." They were about to kiss when, the alarm went off signaling Robin that someone was doing something bad in the city.
Raven just smiled and said, "Go get them, Rob."
Robin hurried down the steps with Raven behind him. He ran to the big monitor to look at who it was. He didn't want Raven to worry. His eyes almost fell out at the sight of his arch enemy. It was Slade and he was back. Robin would surely take him down this time. He was brought out of thought when he heard Raven's footsteps. He quickly closed the monitor and turned to leave but Raven was quicker than him.
"Need any help?" she asked.
"Nah, it's just a few robbers. I can take care of them." He said and left.
Robin was thrown against a wall. He tried to get up but he couldn't He had been fighting Slade and it was already well past noon.
"There, there, Robin, are you hurt? I never knew you were such a softy." Said Slade with a mocking tone.
Slade kicked him again in the stomach. Robin groaned.
"Robin, my man, where is Raven? I really need to talk to her about the prophecy." He said with his usual clam voice.
"Anything you want to talk about, talk to me. I'm the leader." Robin spat.
"So concern now, are we, Robin? Something going on between you two birds?" Slade said as he delivered another kick and punch to Robin and Robin fell to the floor of the warehouse.
"Come on, Slade, stop playing games. Get to the point!" Robin said and he looked up expecting to get another punch but was greeted with nothing but darkness.
"Not yet, Robin. Maybe another time. Go, go back to your precious Raven and stay with her until how long? The most 6 months before the prophecy is fulfilled." Echoed Slade's voice through out the warehouse.
Robin slowly got up but a knife which came out of nowhere hit his palm and blood started to pour out. He slowly pulled the knife out. He started thinking of how to get back to titans tower unaware that Raven had found out what he was up to. Robin slowly made his way to the R-cycle and got on with much difficulty. And soon was on his way back to the tower.
Raven sat there tapping her fingers on the counter. It wasn't like her to be nervous or worried but this time, she truly was. He said it was some robbers. He's going to be alright. She kept repeating to herself.
Then, where is he? He should be back by now. He's been gone for the whole day. Maybe you should check up on him. Said a small voice inside her.
Maybe I should. And she made her way to the monitor and flicked it on. That was when she saw the picture of Slade. So, it was Slade who he really went to fought. He should have told me. She was furious that he didn't even tell her. Her, Raven, his girlfriend from now on. He didn't even tell her? She would surely get him for this when he go back.
Just then it started to rain and soon, the door of the tower opened to reveal a rather tired boy wonder hiding his right hand. He was drenched from the rain outside. Raven folded her arms in front of her chest and tapped her feet.
"Where the hell have you been? You could have just told me!" she started shouting at him.
"I didn't want you to worry over such a small thing." He cried back.
"Slade? A small thing? Since when did Slade become a small thing to you?"
"How did you find out?"
"You said you promised to keep me happy and just now you broke your promise by ling to me. I hate you, Robin!" she screamed with tears streaming down her face and disappeared into her room.
"Raven, wait!" But he was too late. She was gone.
Nice try, Robin, you dumb ass. Robin made his way to the medical bay and picked up some bandages and other things from the cabinet and retreated back into his room. Once in his room, he couldn't stop thinking of Raven. He decided to take a shower and changed his clothes. He also washed the injury and sat down on the edge of his bed facing the door.
Suddenly, the door opened and Raven stepped in. Robin just stared in surprise. Raven said nothing, but just walked over to him and took the bandage from his hand. She then kneeled on the floor before him and worked on taking care of his wound. She attended to the wound carefully and Robin would wince now and then. When he did, she would stop working on the wound and look up into his face. She would continue without a word after he stopped displaying pain on his face.
Raven finally finished bandaging Robin's wound and stood up to leave.
"You'll have to stay with that until my powers are back to normal and I can heal you." She said with her monotone and continued for the door but Robin caught her by the wrist.
"Raven, I'm sorry. Ok, I'm really sorry." He said. She slowly turned around and smiled.
"I know Robin. I'm sorry, too. I overreacted when I found out that you had gone to fight Slade." She said and they embraced each other.
The alarm went off again for the second time that day. They both looked up and the alarm notified them that the T-ship had just landed. The two of them hurried to he main room and waited. Soon, Cyborg, Beast Boy and Starfire emerged from the ship and into the tower.
"Friend Raven and Robin! How nice to see you again." Starfire cried and ran to hug them.
"Hey Star!" Robin replied.
"Man! I missed these games. And you guys," said Cyborg and hugged them both.
"Me too!" Beast Boy cried and hugged them.
Suddenly, Raven sank to the floor.
"Dude! She's opening her eyes!" cried the ever familiar voice of Beast Boy.
"What? What happened?" Raven asked as she soon found that she was in the medical bay and all the others had concerned faces.
"You fainted, Rae. I suppose you still got the fever." Said Robin.
"Oh."
"I took the chip out already," Cyborg told her.
"Thanks, I really need my powers back." She smiled.
After two days, Raven was allowed to return to her room. As soon as she sat down on her bed, the alarm went on.
"What is it?" Raven asked at her leader.
"It's Plasmus." He said casually.
"Titans Go!" and all the titans rushed out of the tower.
The titans arrived at the scene of crime, which was a junkyard, and found that Plasmus had a hostage with him, who was a girl their age. From the looks of it, Plasmus was trying to capture her but the girl was pretty quick for him.
"Titans, save the girl. I'll take him down." As soon as he finished saying that the girl screamed and they all looked up to find Plasmus blasted away by a huge ray of fire which had come from the girl's hands.
The titans moved closer to examine Plasmus and found that he was burnt for good. They turned around to the girl. During the blast, a crater had been formed in the ground. Her hands still had fire around them but they were soon gone. They just stared in awe. The girl looked up at them and said.
"Hi! I'm Ashley."
Well, hope you enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed writing it. Please review.
