[Disclaimer: It's time for the 'talk' kiddies. I don't own the Teen Titans, don't cry, I know it's sad. Now onto my story, of which I don't own the characters!]
Revering Odium
Raven's p.o.v
I would admit it to myself I was a brooding nightmare. I swung my cape quickly behind me moving across the solitary confinement of my room. It seemed every time I dared to leave my sanctuary he had to be there.
I keep my face placid as I ground my boot into my carpeting. He was an egotistical guy who just expected any female to fall at his feet. I shook me head, my violet hair moving ever so slightly, not this female.
There was still the problem of getting out. I had been sneaking out into town for food. Just simply so I didn't have to face him. But this had been ridiculous it was my house too. And no simple-minded jerk would stop me. Yet he did, and for that the memories forever would live in my head.
I felt my powers getting out of control. Muttering my charm I closed my eyes a second trying to find a peace inside.
There was no peace to be found. I cursed Robins name as it left my lips.
I opened my eyes once again to find myself looking at my door. I let myself wonder only a second once again before stepping through the door into the seemingly empty hall.
This is just as it had been a few days ago. The lights of the hall had dimmed a little and I pulled my hood down. I heard the usual ruckus downstairs. I decided I would be careful and take the short way.
Holding my hands up a brief moment I felt the black toil of my powers pull me down. In a black form of a raven I materialized through the floor taking my stop in the living room.
It vanished in a puff of mystic smoke leaving me looking into the faces of three nervous titans. I might have laughed if I was that kind of person; their expressions were that of worry and fear. No doubt expecting Robin to come down and the next World War to commence.
"Don't look so tense," I added dryly looking more carefully over each of them.
"Tense? Raven do you even know what Robins been like?" Cyborg added, I noticed their video game on pause. Was my appearance that grand of a deal?
I raised an eyebrow to indicate he needed to explain.
"He's been pacing around here like a demon with a death wish. It's just really strange to see this Robin like this, the only other time he acted like this was when we got lead on Slade."
"Yea man what's going on?" Beast Boy piped in getting off of the couch to come closer to me.
"Nothing is going on. Robin simply cannot control his emotions." I tucked a lock of hair behind me ear. The three sweat dropped and Starfire looked like she might have been coming up with something to say. That was my exit cue. Ignoring Beast Boy who was cautiously stepping closer I turned and headed into the kitchen.
A playing thought in my head wondered where Robin was. I dare not ask for fear of questioning. I put on a pot of tea and settled down at the table. I heard the theme music of the video games resume in the living room and Starfire begin to question the mechanics of the game.
When the tea was boiling I used a quick enchantment of my powers to bring myself a cup. Getting up from my seat seemed too difficult a task.
"Finally come out I see." A smooth voice appeared just next to my ear. I knew who it was, and the thought sent chills down my spine. This was not what I needed right now.
"Go away," I spat at the boy. He laughed that cocky laugh of his. My temper almost flared when he ran a hand across my back as he walked over to the other side, and in my frame of view.
Robin swiftly took a seat on the counter ledge and leaned on his elbows back a little.
"Be nice, I'm just trying to be friendly." He grinned at me.
"I don't do nice." I shot back, alternating stirring my tea and sitting. I didn't look at Robin.
"That's not what Cyborg said…"
My eyes shot up to look at him with that comment. His smile widened. How dare Cyborg say something. Of course, knowing Robin he could have been spying on him too. I wanted to wipe the smile off his face. I wanted to…
I froze. I bid the thought away suddenly fearing the end of it. Temporary insanity.
I lowered my eyes back to my cup. He was positively infuriating. I pulled my cape securely around myself and stood up. I could feel Robin itching to get closer. Watching my every little move.
Without a second thought I briskly walked out of the kitchen. Maybe a little too quick on the corner. But I wanted to get away before Robin tried anything, my emotions couldn't take much more abuse.
A green fuzzy animal had trampled me down when I took the corner. I groaned as the two of us soundly fell on the floor, Beast Boy reverting to his prior human form. He had fallen just short of where I was. He stood up quickly.
"Ahh, sorry Rae," Beast Boy seemed to almost jump out of his skin looking at me on the ground. I glared at the changeling and he visibly cringed and turned into a cat, scaredy cat that is. I rolled my eyes.
I felt Robins presence again as I pulled myself up and fixed my cape. I didn't dare turn around I knew Robin was behind me.
Beast Boy stood a little in front of me clearly worried. I noticed the game paused and Cyborg and Starfire gaping.
I swallowed hard. This had been the same damn situation I had been running from. Minutes stretched in silence. This was getting annoying fast. My skin itched and I rubbed an arm a little.
"Friend Raven, Friend Robin?" Starfire's voice came. The girl stepped forward a little. I felt breath on my neck. My eyes narrowed as a festering anger wanted out.
"Azarath, Metrion, Zinthos." I mumbled softly trying to keep emotions in check. I ignored Starfire. Robin seemed to be doing the same.
I felt the slightness of a hand against my back. I tensed and looked at the other three. They were still watching unaware of what was happening. The hand moved softly up and down my back almost in a rhythmic motion. It may have been soothing if it wasn't an egotistical male trying to win me over.
My emotions were quickly rising over the point of control. I kept mumbling my words to myself. Nothing was working. I asked myself why I hadn't stopped this yet.
An untold answer let my emotion and powers free.
I felt my eyes blink red only a second. In the second Robin was thrown clearly away from me, hitting the wall for a second time.
Only after the thud of his landing did I turn to the crumpled hero.
"Try another move like that and I guarantee you'll end up worse." Robin had been watching me. Even in his hurt form he smiled innocently at me. Somehow that smile made me think that wasn't the end of his forwardness. His persistence was dreadfully aggravating.
I turned swiftly to return to my room. But alas my luck wasn't as good as that-the Titan alarm had gone off. It's red glaring brought my attention.
Ignoring the shocked faces of the other three titans I walked over to the main computer pulling up the screen facts on the latest crime. Security cameras reported a breech in security near an old warehouse; a black and gold figure had been spotted.
I felt the three crowd around me taking in the info.
"Um dude what about Robin?" Beast Boy asked as I had turned to leave for the scene.
"No time, he can catch up," I spat cold as ever before black surrounded my vision once more. The three nodded taking off as I disappeared from view.
I arrived at the warehouse before the rest. Transferring with my power was simpler and much more efficient.
I looked around the shadowy place for any signs. There was an open door just off to my right. I pulled out my communicator switching it to Cyborg's station.
"I've got a lead, you have my location, there's a door here I'm checking out." The cyborg nodded and I turned off the communicator. I knew he wouldn't argue, he was well aware that I could keep myself out of danger.
Pulling my senses to high alert I took the dark door vanishing into its depth. My vision got a little clearer after a few moment of darkness and I was able to see the boxes and such rubble to move around.
I moved further in, but it still seemed vacant. I had a gnawing worry that it wasn't, and that kept me heading further and further into the trap. There was a sound of hitting metal in the distance. Just slight, but it made me whirr to face it.
I squinted wishing I could see well in the dark. Using my powers to light up the area would be like point a 'catch me' sign so I crept alone still almost blind.
I shuffled a little more toward the sound. "Raven," There was an echo of a male's voice coming from everywhere and nowhere at once. I stood frozen; it was something in that tone. Something I defiantly didn't like.
"I've been studying you for a while little bird," There was a seductive whisper in my ear, it was different from the monotone but I recognized it. I gritted my teeth figuring the best way of death for him.
Before I could move there was a sound click of metal around my waist and hands. It was a sound motion like bonds snapping. I tried to move to find I could not. My feet seemed to be stuck on the floor as well.
I flared my powers wishing them to destroy anything near. I saw them glow and reach out. In front of me they neared boxes to grab.
"I don't think so," The voice was in my ear again. It gave me a bad feeling throughout my being. I felt an arm slide around my waist, cold and strong. A hand pressed something to my throat and with a slight tick I felt it stick to my skin there.
I waited for my powers to pick up something or push this monster away. In horror I watched the tendrils pass right through the objects. They seemed no longer like they could possess anything, more like smoke than energy.
"What have you done?" I growled hatred spinning my powers out around me. As soon as they spilled out they became like mist, passing right threw things and out of my reach. I hated being out of control, and right now I defiantly was.
"Do you like my darling?" The voice was deep sounding a little more of a whisper. The hand around my waist pulled me back into the solid figure of Slade.
[Ohh and the plot thickens! Yea it doesn't really fit I guess but this just jumped at me. Raven being forced to be Slade's 'pet'. Don't worry; it gives the Robin/Rae part a twist. -muwhahahahahahah-
So how's this new idea? All you reviewers rock, you make me update quicker.
And in response to a review, I have read like every Rae/Rob FF and there's too many that are awesome, just check my favs list.]
