Thanks for the reviews! I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who's in love with Raven, and with the RavenXRobin ship.

And yes, I also happen to have a soft spot for Red X.

06.

Raven was having the best day of her life.

After hours of pointless interrogation from her lover - or whatever she should call him now - she teleported to Red X's flat. She wanted to ask what the hell he was thinking, but it was empty. She decided to wait for a while until Robin summoned her. She left her tea on the table to make sure X knew she was here.

When she came back to the Tower, Cyborg rushed to her. He was furious.

"That freaking bastard gave you something he stole? And what the fu - What on Earth was he trying to do?"

He at least had the decency of filtering his words, especially since they were in front of Starfire. The Titans decided to limit their cussing to a minimum after the day Starfire used the word fucking to describe how nice the new pizza place was. The fact that she was only trying to fit in and be relatable made their team aware of how easily language could be picked up.

Raven looked at Robin as she raised an eyebrow. Robin wasn't looking at her, his hands crossed and his back slightly turned away. However, he didn't even bother to hide his cold anger.

"I returned it to the rightful owner."

"Rae, I swear if he put even a finger on you, I'm gonna blow him up next time."

Over the years Raven and Cyborg formed a brother-sister relationship. Raven could relate to Cyborg on some level. They were both something they had no choice to be, shunned and isolated from the 'normal' society. Some people would argue that both weren't 'human' enough, and they weren't clueless. They knew how they were seen by many civilians. And yet they both tried to do good. Which was the same for all the Titans.

"You'll have to blow him up then."

Robin's head snapped around as she met his glare. She didn't say anything more. Cyborg was patting his arm -where he hid his newly upgraded sonic boom- rather fondly. He was smiling, but he was muttering several different ways on how he'll deal with the thief under his breath.

"Friend Raven, I am glad you are back here safe! I insist to do the talk of girls with you - we shall come up with a plan to blow up the evil wrong-doing Red X."

The glare from Robin left her; it rested on Starfire's face. Raven knew she would regret it, but she nodded her head. This simple gesture meant yes to hours of one-sided chatting and shopping and being in the crowded mall. But she didn't want his eyes to stay on her. Not like that.

That's when Beastboy walked into the common room.

"Hey Ra-ven?"

He called her in a sing-song voice that meant he was ready to make fun of her. Raven was ready to open a portal back to her room when she saw what was in his hands.

"Looks like you have a secret admirer! I mean, who else would send you a hundred roses? Must've been super desperate though, to send you flowers at this hour. Hey wait, isn't it a bit too late for the mailman to be working?"

The room's temperature dropped, and everyone stared at Beastboy and the huge bouquet of roses he was holding. Red, like the gem on Raven's forehead.

"Oh Raven! How splendid and wonderful! Who might this adorable person be? You haven't told me about any admirer in secrets!"

"Yeah Raven, he or she must've come all the way here to deliver it on their own!"

Unlike the two excited Titans, Cyborg frowned.

"That doesn't make sense, I would've sensed someone coming up to our door. Unless it's someone who can bypass my surveillance system-"

Something must've clicked in the wrong way because Cyborg's face crumpled up. He seemed to be rewinding the record of the camera on the front door. He rushed to the computer room, which meant he had to take a better look. Starfire and Beastboy looked at each other, unsure why he was so upset. Then Beasyboy fished into the bouquet.

"I bet this dude left a card. Found it! Only a dance at the ball left, Sunshine. Seriously, this person calls you 'Sunshine'? What an odd taste of.. wait.. that nickname sounds familiar.."

"That FUCKING BASTARD!"

Cyborg's voice thundered from the computer room, and that was when everyone knew who sent the roses.

Like she thought earlier, things couldn't just get any better.
