Wow. Hi there. I logged on for the first time in a year today and saw that I was still getting traffic. How odd.

Wrote this really quick and thought I'd post it. I apologize for my absence, but I've been dealing with this and that in life and I've kinda moved on to other stuff.

"Robin, when you go shopping can you please pick up some orange juice?" Raven called from the kitchen.

"Sure," he called back in response.

Raven shuffled back to the couch and sat down, about to speak when she suddenly froze, eyes fixed on who accompanied Robin on the couch. Raven's head cocked to the side and she raised an eyebrow, mouth still open.

"Red.. X?" she asked to noone in particular, staring at the skull mask.

He waved.

"Right.." she said, confusion etched into her face as she slowly settled back into the couch.

The bandit looked back down at his Cosmopolitan magazine.

Raven looked around, in hopes of finding an explanation as she mouthed the words 'what the hell.'

He turned a page in his magazine.

Unable to contain her curiosity anymore, Raven broke the silence. "Robin, why is..?"

At that moment, Red X stood up and put down his magazine. He extended a hand to Robin, who shook it. He then walked over to Raven and offered his hand as well. She slowly grasped his hand and returned his handshake, clearly unsure.

With that, he turned and walked over to the window, and jumped through the glass, exiting with a loud crash and leaving broken shards across the floor.

Robin raised an eyebrow and looked down at his waist.

"He stole my utility belt.."

Raven looked around the room again and threw her hands up in dismay.

Alright, I got quite a few messages asking me when I was going to update First Date. I read through it, and realized I really, really, really hate First Date. Interpret that as you will, but it's probably not going to get an update. (I have a rough chapter written from last year, but I don't particularly want to continue the story.)

I have another one that I started that I like much better, but who knows if that will ever see the light of day. I unfortunately am up to all kinds of nonsense, so I will make no promises.

Thanks to anyone who's still around!
