CHAPTER FIVE
Next day....
Raven was downstairs at the main entrance watching the rain pour down onto the island
Why did I tell him? Was I expecting him to return my feelings?....I was stupid to think that I could fix this problem, he is just so stubborn...
"Must you bug me every time I want to be alone?" Hades flew down in front of Raven.
"But my dear this is the only time I could be with you, I mean do you see how annoying your friends are? They don't let me go near you" He ran a hand through his wet hair and winked at her
"I believe I must have done something in my past life to deserve this" He chuckled and began to form birds with his trademark fog.
"Why me? I mean there are dozens of others out there I'm sure someone would fall for you" He walked up to her leaning his face down so that they were only a few inches apart.
"Because my little bird it's you" He used his finger to trace her jaw line "And what I want I get"
"Well then I guess you'll have to change your motto because this bird isn't going to belong to you"Hades smirked and took her hand placing something in it.
"I'm not going to force you, I know you'll come willingly. Here a present for you" He kissed her and then vanished. Raven opened up her hand to reveal a green chakra.
"Raven?" Raven turned around to face Starfire who was standing by the elevator "Are you coming in?"
"Yes" Raven walked over to starfire "What time is it?" Starfire thought about it.
"It is four in the afternoon" Starfire pushed the elevator button "Cyborg has prepared dinner for us" The elevator came and they walked in
"Raven may I ask you something?" Raven nodded her head "Nightwing.....he has not come out of his room at all, and last night I heard the both of you shouting at each other...."
Raven turned to face Starfire " Star tell me something do you think that Robin could ever love me?" Starfire was shocked for a while but then smiled warmly
"Yes, but right now with the both of you fighting things aren't going to progress" Starfire looked at her and smiled "Tell me Raven what do you think? Do you not think he can love you? "
Raven thought for a second as she held the chakra in her slender hands "I'm not sure Star"
Nightwing was deep in thought as he sat on his desk she has feelings for me? I don't understand why she would, I mean I have done nothing but push her over the limit. Damn it all.
He threw all of the papers and magazines from his desk as his frustration grew. It was bad enough that he was the cause of the separation but it was even harder to have know that the only person who he has ever deeply cared about had cared about him as well. But now it was too late, she would never accept him and he would never tell her. He got up and walked out of his room.
The rest of the gang were sitting in the common area watching t.v and Raven deep in thought. She kept looking at the chakra in her hands and for some reason smiled. Nightwing came out onto the common area and looked around and spotted her near the window. He took a deep breath and proceeded to walk towards her
"Uh oh trouble" inquired Cy and the other two looked at him "hope they don't fight again"
"We need to talk" She saw his reflection on the window and sighed. She then felt Hades approaching
"No we don't I have something to do" She turned around and they both looked at each other
"Raven...we...I mean...I..." she walked passed him not saying a word and he whirled around and grabbed her arm
"Please Raven we need to talk" She took her hand away and turned around again
"Do we really?" She floated out of the tower. The others just watched them.
Nightwing was enraged and he whirled around to look out of the window to calm himself when he spotted her and someone. He leaned closer to the glass and his face became redder than a tomato
"What is she doing with that freak?" He pounded his fist into the window and the others ran to see what he was referring to
"Dude isn't that Haid's or Hades whatever his name is?" Beast boy was wide eyed
"Yeah that's him for sure but what would Raven be doing with him anyways" He looked at Nightwing and a smirked played itself on his face ah ha so that's what's going on
" We must go and stop him" Starfire was about to leave when Nightwing stopped her "But friend Raven could be in danger"
"Forget it, she probably wants to be with him" Nightwing glanced outside to see them gone "I'll deal with it when she gets back" Nightwing then left the room.
"Dude what is going on here?! Those two are driving me insane!" Beast boy spun around and landed on the couch "I swear I think they were replaced by some evil alien robots or something!"
" I sometimes wonder if you are an alien robot" Cyborg sat down on the couch and turned on the t.v
"Beast boy does act very strange maybe you are right Cyborg" Starfire sat next to Cyborg on the arm rest "I mean how can a human possibly stay up all night playing games and eating that tofu?" She began to giggled and Beast boy fumed.
"Hey! Stop gaining up on me, and a lot of people eat tofu.......it's not my fault you are all meat eaters!!"
Outside....
"What are you doing back here?" Hades looked at Raven with puppy eyes "I came to see you my fair lady....I want to give you another present"
She looked at him with annoyance and felt another presence behind her. She knew who it was and because of that made up her mind.
"Do you think you'll win me over with gifts?"
"Of course not you are too rare to win over by simple gifts, I do however have other ideas as to how to win you over......if you understand what I mean" Hades smirked and looked her up and down Raven held the cloak tighter around her body
"What's the matter my sweet bird?" He was grinning at her "Afraid that I'll do the same as last time? I must say your smell is intoxicating and the way you taste..."
"Please spare me, now hand over whatever it is you wanted to give me and take your leave lover boy or demon if you prefer"
"You always seem to be in a hurry whenever that guy is around" Hades looked over Raven to see Nightwing standing at the entrance
"What are you talking about?" Raven
"You know very well what I am speaking off, he is glaring daggers at me as you and your friends might put it"
"He's an idiot and I think you two would become the best of friends seeing as though you are both annoying"
"I'm hurt, I would never become friends with such scum" Raven massaged her temples and sighed
"My patience Is wearing thin Hades"
"But if I am correct you were the one who came out here to meet me"
"Only because knowing you you'll probably try to get into the tower and hurt my friends" Hades chuckled and sat down on the air legs crossed and his head resting on his hand
"Now really I wouldn't have to hurt them if they didn't attack me" He grinned and she only sighed
"Now Raven please tell me what has you in such a bad mood?"
" I do not know what you are talking about" Raven turned around and began to walk towards the tower he flew down and placed his hands on her shoulder causing her to stop
"Now, now if you don't want to tell me that's fine but don't you want your present?"
Nightwing stood at the entrance watching them leave.
There she goes. I can't believe she's letting him touch her. Why raven? Why are you hurting me? Is this punishment for the way I have acted or for what I did to you when I pushed you. Damn this damn it all.
He once again used his fist as a way of venting his frustration. He punched the nearest wall and flinched in pain, but he did not scream. Oh no Nightwing does not scream. He does however rip heads off and right about now he is picturing a pretty little bastard's head in his death grip.
"Fine" Hades let go of Raven and she turned around only to have a Raven in her view
"This is for you" Raven looked in awe at the dark bird she reached out and stoked it's feathers causing the bird to crow
"Not really my taste for a pet but I guess you'll like him" Hades placed the bird on Raven's shoulder
"I guess I should thank you" the Raven crowed again and hades shook his head
"No need for it, but I'll tell you this if that boy over there ever comes near don't think that you'll see him in the morning again" Hades leaned down tilting her head up and slowly lowered his own head towards her
Nightwing looked closely oh no he's going to kiss her he's touching her he's touching my raven!!
Raven slowly closed her eyes waiting for the kiss but instead she felt his warm breath she opened her eyes and he smirked
"Lover boy over there is having a temper tantrum I should be going now" he kissed her forehead and disappeared
Raven turned around and noticed nightwing clenching his fists what's his stupid problem anyways?
she didn't care in the least so she began to walk towards the Tower approaching him. He stood his ground he wasn't going to move from his spot which happened to be in front of the door to the tower.
"Move" was all she said or rather demanded
He narrowed his eyes at her if you can even see it "No" was his only deep reply
She arched an eyebrow "No? I did not ask for your opinion I demanded that you move at once"
He smirked oh yes he wanted to get her angry "and I said no"
"Listen boy blunder how much do you like the water?" he quizzically looked into her eyes
"As much as you enjoy flirting with the enemy" he grinned at her
She snorted and petted the bird on her shoulder "you know something I did enjoy flirting with Hade" she said with annoyance clearly in her voice
"So you don't deny that you were flirting with him?" He was growing angrier by the minute
"Why deny the obvious Robin" she hissed at him
He couldn't believe her "I guess you are just like the other women easily aroused by a few sweet words and presents. If I knew it was that easy to get into your pants then I should have done it sooner"
Ouch. He couldn't stop the words that poured out of his mouth. He knew it was uncalled for but his rage and jealousy couldn't stop him.
She was appalled by his insinuation, how wrong he was. How could he have said such a thing? How could he have assumed that about her. Her of all people.
And as much control of her emotions she had this still managed to arouse them. Hate, love, anger, and sadness were brought up to the surface and she could only watch as all of them tried to come out fully.
He watched her, his own eyes filled with hurt and guilt. He waited for her rash reaction, but all she did was just stare at him, the bird equally quiet and observant.
He swallowed hard "Raven I..." before he could finish he found himself pinned against a wall of the tower and a black force holding him by the neck.
He struggled to break free or at least breath "Raven.." she was not looking at him. She was not doing anything.
"Tsk Tsk Tsk that was uncalled for don't you think little bird?" Nightwing narrowed his eyes
"Ha..des...re....lease...me.." Hades chuckled
"Why little bird? So that you could insult my dear raven again? Not a chance little human" he made the force tightened its hold on nightwing
"Let him go" Hades turned to raven and Nightwing watched her. She had her head bowed "just let him go Hades he's not worth it" she raised her head and she gave him a small smile but you had to really strain your eyes if you wanted to see it
"I just want to sleep right now.....I'm really tired" Raven placed her hood over her head and made her way passed the two and into the tower
