Quick warning: If you are allergic to fluff I urge to NOT read this chapter. The end will kill you if you are infact allergic.

Drusilla's eyes opened slowly and painfully, only to be greeted by darkness. She groaned and sat up, her head feeling as if she was hit by a truck. Looking around, she saw the smothering ashes of the fireplace dimming slowly and everything came back to her in one fatal sweep. A small scream escaped her as she began to run over every vision that came to her head. Staying still for several seconds, her stomach flopped.
Suddenly, she flung over the side of the bed and emptied the contents of her stomach onto the plush rug. Her heart pounded in her head as she picked herself up and brought her hands towards her face. Her palms were littered with dried blood and moon-shaped cuts from her fingernails. How did she let this happen?
"Drusilla..." A voice said, almost pained.
She let a small wimper escape from her and pulled the blankets closer to her body, fearing it was Slade coming back to haunt her. But, no, Aiden appeared across the room in his human form. He moved slowly towards her, extending a hand in her direction.
"Please...forgive me...I shouldn't have run..." He whispered.
Drusilla's shoulders fell foward in a shaking sob. The tears slid from under her dark lashes as she sealed her eyes shut again, wanting to hide away from the world once and for all. Aiden stood a couple of inches from her, holding out a robe infront of her. She took it slowly and draped it around her shoulders, the tears still running softly across her cheeks.
"Your parents...they're coming for you..." Aiden whispered reassuringly into her ear as he helped her out of bed.
She looked up at him, her eyes wide with shock. "W-What?" Her voice was broken and pained, not the usual, beautifully harsh tone it used to be.
He tied the robe in the front to prevent it from slipping off of her and lead her out of the room, an arm draped securely around her shoulders. "We'll talk later..."
"A shower..." She blurted out, looking up at him. "I need a shower...I feel so..." She couldn't finnish her sentence without breaking into another quiet sob.
Aiden gave a pained expression and nodded grimly. That man needed to be put into a long, miserable life in hell for putting her in this state. He lead Drusilla down the hall to the bathroom. She was weary of being left alone again, but Aiden promised he would be right back to give her some clothing.
Walking down the hall, Aiden shuddered slightly. He wondered where Slade was now. Probably resting, basking in the deed he had completed. Finally reaching Drusilla's room, he opened the door and walked over to her dresser, pulling out one of the seldom outfits Slade had tucked away for her. He furrowed his eyebrows at the one outfit. It was a uniform, similar to the one he was wearing. He wondered why Drusilla had never worn it before...It was the only thing left, so he picked it up and went back down the hall.
Aiden heard the shower running before he was even to the bathroom. The steam seeped from under the doorway as he walked closer. Opening the door slowly, he looked around to see the robe on the floor and the mirror already fogged with the steam. He placed the clothes on the counter and looked at the shower, it was left open slightly, the water splashing out onto the floor.
"Drusilla...Are you alright?" He asked, furrowing his eyebrows in worry.
No response, just the sound of the running water and the steam filling the room so it was unbearibly hot. He called to her again with still no response and began to get worried. Closing his eyes for a second, he opened the shower door just so he could see if she was still in there. There she was, on the floor, curled up in a little ball, her eyes closed shut. Aiden's face turned scarlet and he looked away for a second, waiting for her to move or even give a slight wimper at him.
"Dru..." He said again slowly, pressing his back against the shower door.
"I'm fine..." She mummbled, barely auidable through the shower.
Aiden gave a slight sigh of relief and went back towards the door. He slipped out into the hallway and leaned up against the door, groaning quietly to himself. He hoped that he was right, that Drusilla's parents were coming for her. He didn't know how much more of this she could take.
An hour or so went by and Drusilla finally walked out of the bathroom in the uniform Aiden had found. He nearly choked on air as she stepped into the dim light. The outfit was very revealing with no sleeves, tight leather, shorts and a long slice down the center of the outfit, showing a preview of her stomach and chest. She pulled the crimson gloves further onto her hands and looked up to see Aiden gaping at her.
"What?" She asked, her eyes still broken although her tone was normal again.
Aiden swallowed and pretended to be interested in the ceiling. "Uhh...Nothing..."
The pair began to walk down the hall, not really knowing what to say. Sure, they both had a million and one questions to ask one another, yet no words were leaving their mouths. Aiden opened the door to his room and Drusilla slipped in, leaning up against the wall as he locked the door behind them.
"Aiden..." Drusilla said, finally breaking the long silence.
He stepped back from the door and walked over to his desk responding with, "Yeah?"
A small, crimson blush spread across Drusilla's cheeks and she pressed her fingertips against it, hoping that would make it go away. "Before Slade took me away...why'd you kiss me?"
Aiden's eyes widened and he still didn't turn around. He had nearly forgotten he had even done that. "Uhh..." With no idea what to say, he finally turned around to face her.
"Did I mention how sorry I am for Slade taking you like that...I...I should've stopped him. It's my fault he did that to you and I..." He was rambling and he knew it.
Dark brown eyes met violet and locked. "Aiden...It's not your fault...Slade was planning to do that to me for a long, long while now...Come here..." She waved her hand as a signal for him to come closer.
He walked back towards her, standing a few inches from her. Drusilla looked up, sinking deep into those dark brown eyes. They could make her forget everything that had happened in the past few hours and beyond. She narrowed her violet eyes and placed a crimson gloved hand on his pale cheek.
Aiden stared back at her, wondering what she was going to do next. Her hand felt so warm against his cold skin. "Drusilla..." He began.
She shook her head slightly and stood on her tip toes. A slight gasp escaped Aiden as her lips brushed gently across his. Drusilla felt the fire race through her heart like it could through her hands and her head swirl with emotions. Aiden's wide eyes fluttered shut slowly and he pulled Drusilla closer towards him lightly.
The moment was broken though by a loud crash. The pair broke away from each other and looked towards the door with a slight gasp. The crashing continued followed by the roar of a tiger, a shout of 'Zinthos' and someone yelling 'Booyah!'.
"They're here..." Aiden said smiling down at Drusilla.
xXxXxXxXx
Drusilla felt the rush of excitement rise inside her as she ran down the hall, Aiden wizzing by her side. She dodged a bright blue blast from Cyborg's cannon as she entered the room. There were her mother and father, throwing attacks at a running Slade. He dodged a rhino Beast Boy and slipped into the darkness, becoming invisable for a moment.
Raven looked over at Drusilla and her eyes filled with tears of joy for one of the first times in her life. She was tall, beautiful and everything Raven imagined she would be. Her hands were lit up with a fierce fire as she glared around the room for Slade. Aiden stood beside her and gave a nod of hello to the team.
"Well, Titans...Didn't think you'd find me so soon..." Slade said from above.
Everyone in the room, except Slade of course, readied themself for an attack. They looked like a force to be reckoned with to the normal eye. But Slade was far from anything normal. He peered down at them, especially Drusilla. He could feel the joy of the hunt radiating from her a mile away. He walked very balanced on the rafters that held up the building and stood directly above Drusilla, getting a perfect view of her slim figure.
"Slade! Come out of hiding, coward!" Aiden shouted, glaring above.
Without another word, Slade jumped down from the rafters. Aiden gave a word of warning to Drusilla, but it was too late. The masked fiend had Drusilla pinned to him again. Drusilla felt her heart race and her eyes burn up with her power.
"Go ahead, attack me and I blow up this entire place. Taking her with me." Slade said, squeezing nearly all the air from her lungs as he pushed on her stomach.
"You are a coward Slade, you know that?" Drusilla yelled out. "You hide behind your threats all the time...I'm tiered of it!"
His gloved hand slid down her stomach to the inside of her thigh. "Fine. Leave me, but I'm sure your parents will be thrilled when they find out there's a little part of me growing inside you..."
The room was filled with dead silence. Drusilla closed her eyes, tears spilling from under them again. She felt the anger taking over, her arms becoming enevloped in the flames. She reopened her eyes, they were solid black as she let out a shrill yell. The televisions that surrounded them were covered in black and shattered. Everything began to break as it was enveloped in the darkness and snapped in two. Black veins appeared all over Drusilla's skin as she let out a burst of power.
"Die you sick bastard!" She yelled, everything began to shake and the lights went out as the rafters above began to collapse. Slade was blasted backward, but soon recovered.
Beast Boy ran foward to Drusilla as Slade ran off into the darkness, chuckling in victory. Robin yelled at him, wanting to chase after him, but they had to get out of the hideout before it collapsed ontop of them. Drusilla fell into Beast Boy's embrace as Raven rushed over.
Robin looked over at Aiden as everyone began to exit, he was standing there, watching everything crumble to the ground. "Aiden, c'mon!" Robin yelled, waving a hand in his direction.
Aiden took one last look and sighed, flying towards the group as they ran down the crumbling hallway. Everything Aiden had lived with, the only place he actually called home for a long while, was going down to never be seen again. He should be happy...but the question that filled his mind was, where was he going to go now?
xXxXxXxXx
Drusilla groaned as her eyes blinked open slowly. She looked around to see a bright light coming in the room. Squinting against it, she began to sit up, but was stopped by a green hand.
"Hey...You're awake...Just, rest you need it..." Beast boy said, practically grinning.
Raven was next to him, brushing some hair out of Drusilla's face and smiling slightly. She peered at them and gasped, remebering everything. She shot up, her head beginning to hurt.
"Oh my...What happened? Where am I? Where's Aiden?" She asked, her eyes growing wide with fear.
Starfire placed a mug of tea in Drusilla's hands. "Aiden is sleeping, he should be awake in a couple of hours...Please, drink this..."
Drusilla took a slow sip of the tea, looking at everyone. She barely knew anyone. Not even her own parents, that was pretty sad. Yet, she felt safer than she ever had in her entire life. Her father's warm grin and her mother's serene eyes were calming her down. She was finally where she belonged, with the 'good guys' and with her parents. She raised her hands up slowly and gasped, seeing them covered in small black veins.
"What...What happened to my skin?" Drusilla asked, frowning.
Raven pushed them back down on her lap. "Just an affect of the magic rush. They'll go away in a couple of hours...Now, I'll show you around if you want..."
Cyborg poked his head over the other side of the couch. "Ahh, I can handle it Rae. Hey chica, you ever play nintendo?"
Raven glared, "Cyborg. You are not teaching my daughter the art of video games..."
Beast Boy stood up, grinning. "See, you just called it an art! Therefore it's good for her! C'mon, you and her can bond with magic, me and her can bond with Mario Party 6!"
Starfire beamed. "I call the pink frog!"
Robin laughed. "I think you mean the girl version of toad..."
Raven rolled her eyes and helped Drusilla sit up on the couch. The entire team spent the next three hours shouting and having fun playing Mario Party 6.
xXxXxXxXxXx
Drusilla walked onto the roof later that night to find Aiden sitting on the edge, swinging his feet and looking at the water below. She smiled lightly and walked up behind him, wrapping her arms around his neck and kissing his neck affectionately.
"Hey Dru...You have fun in there?" He asked, putting a hand over hers and giving her a handsome smile.
She nodded and leaned her head against his. "Yeah, you should've joined us...You know, they offered you a spot on the team here too..."
He gave a slight shrug, watching the ocean below. "I don't know if I would really fit in here...I was thinking of going off and finding my own parents..."
Drusilla furrowed her eyebrows, hugging Aiden a bit tighter. "I'm sure they can help you with that. C'mon, I'm sure you're welcome here. Besides, I need you..."
Aiden finally looked back at her. "You do?"
Drusilla nodded as she took a seat next to him. He wrapped an arm around her tightly, smiling. "You know, no one has ever said they needed me before..."
Warm smiles spread across both of their faces. They both leaned foward, staring intently at each other.
"Aiden..." Drusilla said, tilting her head.
"Hmm?" He tilted her chin foward a bit.
"I love you..."
"I love you too..."
They kissed lightly, as most new lovers do. Drusilla pulled apart from Aiden and stared up at him. He gave her a questioning look.
"Aiden...You know how we were kissing before in you room before my parents came and we fought off Slade?"
He nodded. "Yeah, what about it?"
A sly smirk spread across her face. "What do you think would've happened next? Ya know...with me in a revealing outfit, practically naked and soaked...you being a guy and all..."
Aiden raised a sharp eyebrow, holding a slight chuckle. "I have no idea...but...I would've liked something like this..." He cupped her chin and brought her into a passionate kiss, running his tounge across her bottom lip.
They didn't break apart though for a long while. The moon was the only one who saw the rest of their night on the roof. There were bigger, scarier things out in the world at the moment, Slade for instance. But all Aiden and Drusilla cared about at the moment was seeing how long they could keep kissing without running out of air...
xXxXxXxXxXxXxXx THE END! xXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxX
A/N: I think I just drowned. I drowned in that fluff I just wrote! HOLY CRAP! XD Look at it go man, jeeze. That was like more fluff than keeping secrets packed into one damn moment. And the end got all kinky. YEY! XD This IS the end of the story but I'm going to post an epiloge. So watch out for that. Uhh, I'm going to get around to posting some fan art. I know, I've been saying I was going to do that for months now...but...I HAVE A SCANNER! XD I promise you, next chapter, I will have links. I won't post the chapter until I have links. See you at the epiloge: Emmery.
I leave you with the lyics of The Used and their song 'I Caught Fire':
Seemed to stop my breath
My head on your chest
Waiting to cave in
From the bottom of my...
Hear your voice again
Could we dim the sun
And wonder where we've been
Maybe you and me
So kiss me like you did
My heart stopped beating
Such a softer sin
(I'm melting, I'm melting)
In your eyes
I lost my place
Could stay a while
And I'm melting
In your eyes
Like my first time
That I caught fire
Just stay with me
Lay with me
Now
Never caught my breath
Every second I'm without you I'm a mess
Ever know each other
Trust these words are stones
why cuts aren't healing
Learning how to love
I'm melting (I'm melting)
In your eyes
I lost my place
Could stay a while
And I'm melting
In your eyes
Like my first time
That I caught fire
Just stay with me
Lay with me
(Stay with me lay with me now)
You could stay and watch me fall
And of course I'll ask for help
Just stay with me now
Take my hand
We could take our heads off
stay in bed just make love that's all
Just stay with me now
I'm melting (I'm melting)
In your eyes
I lost my place
Could stay a while
and I'm melting
In your eyes
Like my first time
That I caught fire
Just stay with me
Lay with me
In your eyes
I lost my place
Could stay a while
and I'm melting
In your eyes
Like my first time
That I caught fire
Just stay with me lay with me
(Stay with me, lay with me)
In your eyes
Let's sleep till the sun burns out
I'm melting in your eyes (I'm melting in your eyes)
Let's sleep till the sun burns out
I'm melting in your eyes
