He ate a small snack and hopped on his motorcycle. He had found Raven's communicator coordinates, and set out to find her.

He arrived at an old abandoned warehouse.

'Why would she be here?' He thought. He took off his helmet and got off his motorcycle.

Robin entered the warehouse, it was about 5:30 AM.

"What are you doing here?" Said a voice from behind him.

Robin turned around, weapon in hand.

"Woaw boy, calm down. Just asking…" Red X put his hands up in defense.

"Where's Raven?" Robin asked harshly.

"Beauty sleeping. Not like she needs it, but don't disturb her. You'll have to answer to me, if you do." Red X said protectively.

Robin growled in anger.

"I'll get her to come home. WITHOUT you stalking her." Robin said calmly.

"Robin, get over yourself. You lost her because you don't trust her. I won her because I do. Just because you change your mind, doesn't mean she will instantly go back to you." Red X said in a sing-song voice, while placing one hand on his hips, and the other in the air waving in circles. (Being sarcastic of course)

"This isn't something to be joking about."

"Robin, Robin, Robin…who ever said I was joking?" He pressed the X on his belt and disappeared.

Robin stood there not moving, only looking with his eyes.

"I like her just as much as you do, you know." Red X said reappearing from behind Robin.

Robin turned around and glared at his easy-going opponent.

"I don't like her like that."

"Sure. Listen, if you came here to argue with me, you're time is wasted. What did you really come here for?" Red X asked eyeing him.

"I wanted to talk to Raven…privately." Robin said letting down his guard.

"Hmm, well…you could come later when she wakes up. But I'm not sure about the privacy part though." Red X said rubbing his chin and looking to the side.

"Who are you tell her what she can/cant do?" Robin growled, bringing his defenses back up.

"I like your style kid, but actually I was talking about her wanting to be alone with you."

Deep down, Robin knew Red X was right.

"I'll be back later." Robin said coldly turning to leave the warehouse.


-Back to Raven and Red X in the Ware house. -

Red X told her about their little conversation.

"Oh…" She said before sipping her cup of tea.

"Yeah, so I'm gonna go to the store, get a few necessities. He should be here by then."

"How do you know?" Asked Raven.

"Believe me."

"O…k…."She eyed him weirdly.

He walked away as she decided to get the place a little neater.


Red X pressed the X on his belt and teleported to the Tower.
"Dear Robin! I wish to see you now please!" Starfire's voice echoed through the Titans Tower.

Robin was sitting in the kitchen, thinking about his dream.

"Ohh! Robin! I was looking for you! Why have you not said anything when I called you?" Starfire asked.

"…" Robin was still deep in his thoughts.

"Robin?" She said waving a hand infront of his face. "Is everything ok with you, friend?"

"Huh? What? Oh, hey Starfire." He said.

"Hello!" she said clamping her hands together infront of her chest, and lacing her fingers. " You seem troubled, do you wish for me to make the Tamaranian 'Pudding of Sadness?'" Starfire asked worrisome.

"No thanks, Star. I'm just thinking about a dream I had last night."

"Do you acquire a friend to talk to?"

"Umm…-"

"Good! So, why does this dream trouble you?" She said cutting him from saying no, as she took a seat next to him.

"Well…I'm confused about why I had that dream."

"What was this dream?"

Robin was definitely not about to tell her about him and Raven nuking it out in some office that resembled his own room. He was scared she never had the 'Bird and the Bees' talk, also.

"I rather not say…Its kind of embarrassing." He blushed.

"Oh. Then maybe you wish to tell me if you would like your dream to come true one day?" She said, hoping she'd get atleast some information from him.

"Well…I…I'm not sure." He said now turning a light pink.

"Was it a good dream?"

"…You can say that…" He smirked.

"Oh, then surely you wish for it to come true then, yes?"

"I…think so. But if it did happen, I'm not sure it would be right."

"A dream isn't a dream unless you've thought about accomplishing it before. Dreams help you turn a dream, into an accomplished goal." She said in a robotic voice.

"Woaw…Star that was…good advice." He really wanted to say, 'different from when you usually say something out of the ordinary.'

"Thank you Robin! I am happy that my remembering of the 'cookie of fortunes' has helped you!" She said walking away.

"…" He sat there, mentally slapping himself for not knowing she read that off a fortune cookie.


Robin walked around the tower in boredom, not knowing if he really did want to go back to the warehouse. His questions were answered as he felt a presence behind him, taking footsteps closer to him.

He whipped around to see the one and only Red X, accompanying Robin on his stroll, outside of Raven's old room.

"Red X." He said plainly, he expected something like this would happen in the near future.

"Robin." He repeated Robin's casualness.

"So what brings you-"

"I'm leaving to go buy some things I need. Luckily for you, I like you. So I'm gonna leave and give you and her privacy." He said standing in a relaxed army stance. (Hands behind his back). "But if I come back, and Raven tells me something went wrong…Your gonna wake up in a box floating in the middle of nowhere." He said glaring at him, hating how Robin wasn't fazed by his threat. 'I have to admit though…he's got some guts.'

"Don't worry, she'll be fine." Robin said smirking.

Red X nodded while reaching down to press the X on his belt, and disappears.

"Well, I guess I should leave then…" He said to no one in particular.

He started to walk out, when he noticed Raven's untouched room. The Titans hadn't touched it, for anger. But he knew deep inside, they didn't touch it because she had trained them well enough for them to know not to enter Raven's room. 'She is some kind of lady.' He thought.


"Eww." Was all she could say as she went into a corner and saw a huge spider web sitting there. 'Wherever the spider left to, he'll be happy to know his food arrived first.' She thought while speculating about 5 flies caught in its web. 'But do I really want to know where the spider that produced this huge web is? That is the question.'

Raven got up and decided to leave the web there, not wanting to touch it. She was just about to take a walk outside when she heard her name.

"Raven…"

She stood there, frozen. She hadn't heard her name being called from that voice in a long time.

"Raven…can I talk with you?" He said firmly holding his helmet in one hand.

She turned around to face him and walked up to him.

"What do you want to talk about?" She said in her famous monotoned voice.

"I want to know when you're coming back."

"Robin, why don't you just lock up the tower, and you and your little friends can go on that vacation you were talking about. And if I really feel like returning, I'll just go through the wall. There, now you can sleep at night knowing that. Now leave."

"Raven, I don't want to send mixed feelings. Let me say what I have to say."

"Fine, talk." She said crossing her arms over her chest.

"Raven, I want you to come home. We need you-"

"For my powers, right?"

"No…"

"Then you just want ME back? Since when? I don't remember you asking me to come back yesterday. The day Rancid came."

"Raven, I'm still very confused about the whole Starfire thing, but when you and Red X-"

"Oh! Now I get it, you see me with another guy and instantly you want me to come home. That confuses me too Robin. Its not like you even liked me anyway. You just wanted a laugh. You just wanted to play the 'lets see how far raven will go with me' game. Well Robin, I just want to let you know, I'm not coming back."

There was silence. Robin couldn't believe what he got himself into.

"Listen to me, come home. If you really want to stay here, then atleast come back in a week or two. Please, Raven…" He looked at her with sorrowful eyes.

"Boy Wonder-" She noticed how he started to smirk at his nickname from her, " I don't know. But answer this, why cant you believe me? I thought we promised for each other's trust the day before. If this was a test Robin, you would have failed miserably."

"I wish this was a test Raven, but I just don't know who to believe anymore. Starfire…well, she's been kind of difficult lately, and I can't figure it out. But your such a damn mystery, I can never expect what to come out from your mouth. How am I suppose to know?"

"Follow you heart. You told me about trust the other day. It's a shame I have to retell it to you-" Raven got cut off at the sound of Robin's communicator, it was Starfire.

"Well, speak of the devil." She said ironically, as she heard Starfire's voice fill the warehouse.

"Robin! Where are you? I do believe a good movie in the moving of theatres is playing. Let us go now there, instead of making our date later. Shall we Robin?"

Robin just stood there, wondering why he had even picked up his communicator, or why he couldn't have just left it at home.

"Umm…" He looked up at Raven and saw her looking off to the side in disappointment. "Star, I cant."

Raven's head slowly went back to looking at him.

"But…Robin…The moving of theatres was our date. Why must you cancel?" She said sadly.

"I'm kind of busy right now…"

"What are you doing, Robin?"

"Hey Star, I got to go…I'll see you at the tower." He closed his communicator before she could answer back, and looked back at Raven.

"So, you finally got over your Star. Or are you just trying to impress me?" She said, arms still crossed.

"It depends," He smirked, "Is it working?"

'He wasn't going to play this ridiculous game now is he?' She thought.

"No."

"Awe, that's too bad. I was hoping to bring you to the movies tonight Raven." He showed his cocky grin.

He remembered his dream, and the mural of it. He needed to trust Raven. Raven was going to be his one and only.

"I wouldn't have accepted."

"Why not? Mortified by my charming looks? Are you scared you wouldn't b able to keep your hands off me?" He said rubbing her arm.

"Like you are doing to me now?"

"Yeah, something like that." He smirked.

He remembered his dream. Not the mural anymore…but Raven. The lust I her eyes made him go wild. Her attire before they entered the hidden room was breathe taking, and he couldn't help but wonder if she was wearing something like it now.

"But a little more aggressive." He slowly started to run his fingers off her arm, and onto her side, noticing how she flinched and he ran his finger over her ticklish spot.

"Robin!" She said smacking his hand away, but he continued to give her that cocky grin.

He remembered how she had screamed his name, just like that…but more full of pleasure in his dream. He was starting to feel horny, and quickly shoved those images aside, happy that he still had them.

"Come now Raven, would you really resist my offer? How about we invite your little friend Red X join us? We can kick him out when you start to get comfortable." He winked.

"Robin, get your hormones in control, and leave." She said forcefully.

"Oh Raven, I know you have a fun side. I saw it in a dream once," He said raising an eyebrow, "See you in a week." He waved and walked over to his motorcycle. He pressed the pedal, but not before he blew a kiss to Raven.


-A few days pass-

Red X and Raven had been all through town. They had gotten closer to eachother since then, and grew a bond. He even managed to get her to laugh at a few of his jokes. Not by the cleverness, but the idiotic apparel of them.

They were on a walk towards and ice cream shop. He made her admit one thing, that she liked ice cream. They bought their ice cream, but he pulled her into an alleyway.

"Raven, I need to explain something to you." Red X said holding one of her hands.

"What is it?" she said, unfazed by his facial expression. Side effect of the ice cream.

"I…I think, that even if you go back to the Titans, we should see eachother."

She had stopped eating her ice cream and gazed at him.

"X, of course I will still see you. Everynight you can stop at my window. And if I get the chance, during the day I will see you." She said reassuringly.

"Raven, let me explain something to you." She knew what was coming; " I came to this city for something. And I'm sorry to say, it wasn't you."

"I know Red X." She said continuing to eat her ice cream.

"I came here…to steal. Raven, I'm a thief. Why else would I be dressed like this. If I wasn't, do you think I would be in spandex right now? I mean, come on."

She giggled at his comment, but went back to a serious expression. The sudden change in emotion made Red X's ice cream fall to the floor with a wet plop. He just looked down at it, and dropped his cone purposely.

"I'm sorry, but anyway, you're a thief? Then why…did you…-" She sighed audibly. "Ok, why haven't you stolen anything yet?"

"A little bird kept my attention." He smirked as he held her chin with his right hand.

"Then why cant you just stop?" she said as she felt his hand let go of her chin.

"Stop stealing? I can't Raven; I need the stuff to power this suit. I need to live. Raven, you have to understand, I chose this life. I gave up my old life for this one. It didn't faze me that I might get caught, I loved the adrenaline."

"But X…stealing…is wrong." She said reminding herself of Starfire's innocence.

"Like you haven't done anything wrong before?"

"I have…"

"And don't tell me you didn't feel that freaky adrenaline flow through your veins. Not even once?"

"…" She kept silent. She indeed remembered that adrenaline.

"Have you ever…hurt anyone?" She said looking down, finding the melting ice cream so suddenly interesting.

"Believe me, you have probably hurt more guys with your powers…or with your heart…than I have. Sure, I might have punched or kicked a few. But if you mean putting someone in a hospital with critical conditions, no Raven, I haven't."

She was relieved.

"Oh…so…was that it?"

He just smiled at her.

"Yes, Raven. For now at least. The future holds more secrets yet to come." And with that, he hugged her.

Raven felt so much love from him. Not even Robin could just plainly hug her without a kiss, or some remark afterwards. She returned his embrace.

He pulled away and smiled at her. She blushed, but a sudden question popped into her head.

"Red X?"

"Yes, love?"

"Who…who are you?" She thought herself stupid for wanting to know this. But then again, they had spent a while together, and she doesn't even have the slightest clue about what he looks like, or what his name is. Everytime the subject about him came up, he changed it.

"Me? Just a simple guy, living in the city." He joked.

"X…seriously. We've gotten to know each other for a bit, and I still have no idea about who you are. Besides that you're a thief. But that's all."

"You really want to know me, Raven?" He whispered.

"Yes, I don't want to leave you today without a good feel of who you are. I mean, do you really want me to go to sleep with the thought of you being a thief all night?" She said crossing her arms.

"Your right…" Red X took off his right glove, and showed her his open palm and fingers.

"You see these lines? These are called finger prints…say it with me now," He moved her jaw with his hand, making her jaw look like she was saying it with him, "Fing-er Prin-ts."

She just gave him a smug look, and quickly looked to the street, making him look at the streets also. She regretted doing this, but she needed to know. She took advantage of his turned head, and grabbed the top of head, taking off his mask.

"I saw that coming…" He smirked.

Raven just stared at him in shock.
