AN: Wow, two updates in two days! YAY! This story has hit the two-hundred mark! Great job! Thank you all for all the support!
Thugette90: You are now my hero! Not only to you like my story but you are the biggest Hilary Duff hater I've met yet. I wasn't lying when I said we had a club. PAHDAHCS (People against Hilary Duff and her crappy songs) is what we call ourselves. Someone would be doing us a favor by shooting her. And thanks to her, I can never look at Cinderella or Chad Michael Murray the same way again! Crazy psychotic bimbo :sigh: now that I got that out of my system, thanx for the review and on with the next chappy!
Why didn't I push away? Why didn't I slap him or try to stop his ministrations? Why couldn't I stop it…why couldn't I? It was very strange to me, at the end I could no longer remember what Robin's kisses had felt like. But I did not hate it, it was…pleasurable. My eye's fluttered open as our lips separated. He had removed his hand from its position of covering my eyes and had already replaced his mask. I blinked several times and sighed.
"What do you want me to do?" He turned his face away from mine and moved away from me. I grinned and placed my hand on his shoulder. Reaching up I slid myhands down his arms and whispered huskily in his ear.
"Tell me what you wish for me to do, and I will do it." I noticed him stiffen and turn around slowly around to face me.
"Come with me on one of my runs, work with me and maybe we can become a partnership." I suppressed a gasp and nodded dimly.
"A…as you wish." Without so much of another word I walked away and found myself staring blankly out into nothing. I crossed my arms in front of me and frowned.
"When do we begin?" I could sense his smile behind his mask, he knew I would agree, what other choice did I have? He walked forward and trailed his gloved fingers down my back. It was a sensual touch that left me breathless and shaky, a touch I had never experienced before.
"Right now." He wrapped his left arm around my stomach from behind, and I felt the coolness of the material used to make his gloves on my bare skin. I trembled as he nuzzled his masked face in my hair, and I shivered as he grabbed my hand with his unoccupied one. He pulled away from me and pulled me out the door, my breathing still shallow from his actions only moments before.
Once again we returned to jumping the rooftops
The wind blew around us making my hair flow behind me in colored strands. My pulse raced in my ears and my feet clattered at they touched the roofs with every new step I took. The Red-X ran stolidly in front of me, not even once looking back to see if I was still there. I could have ran ahead, so that he would've been following me, If only I knew where we were going.
I did not know Steel City very well, so when we arrived at a jewelry store I was surprised to see a sign in the window saying:
'Protected by the Titans East'
"Here we are Cutie, show me what you got." I blewout a shaky breath and nodded. I pushed my arms out in front of me and almost begged for them to glow. They did just that and I blew my first-intended-hole in the wall. The metal for the frame melted into nothing but bent bars. The drywall and glass fell into millions of tiny pieces flying about. Even before the dust cleared, the Red-X ran in and yelled for me to follow. I complied and helped him grab whatever we could.
"How you feelin' cutie?" he shouted over the sound of the alarm. My heart had yet to stop pounding and I took a hesitant gulp and replied.
"Fine." It was a quick statement that did not seem to satisfy him.
"What, you don't feel excited, intrigued, thrilled?" I shook my head abruptly and grabbed a few more items. He walked up behind me and spun me around to face him.
"Well, we'll just have to change that."
"Freeze!" we turned our heads quickly, our eyes landing on the unexpected. He pulled away and reached for his belt. My hands began to glow wildly, and with the green glow from my hands I could clearly see who was standing in the gaping hole in the wall.
"The Titans…East." The Red-X confirmed my suspicions as I took a striking pose.
"Red-X…Starfire." I made a growl of a sound and narrowed my eyes into angry slits. The Red-X ran forward and attacked as I heard the whizzing sound of Speedy's arrows flying past my head. Without warning I was thrown back by a sudden gush of water. It filled my lungs and burned my skin. I coughed and spit up everything I could, attacking Aqualad with equal force.
"Red-X!" I shouted charging for another attack. He looked at me and I motioned for the door. He nodded and exited quickly. I readied myself to do the same when something odd happened. My eyes began to burn strangely, and my hands shook fiercely. Things began to flow through my thoughts, memories and dreams, all of which were evil and demonic. I let out a shrill cry as my powers manifested into something much different than I had ever experienced before. A bright light formed around my body making it impossible to see things around me. The smell of things burning and the cries of the others in the room made me snap out of whatever trance I had been in. The light dispersed and I looked down at myself, my clothes were gone, all of them. I tried to cover myself and then turned when I heard the groan coming from the blackened room. I looked around and screamed, there they all lied, BumbleBee, Speedy, Aqualad, and Mas and Menos, in a heap of burned cloth and drywall. I covered my mouth with my hand and fainted, only to be caught before I hit the ground.
I pondered over how many hours it had taken to build the Justice League watch tower. Days, months, years, but with so many hero's and so many different powers, most of the work probably didn't take as long as I had anticipated.
"Dick!" I jumped, startled out of my stupor. Diana put a comforting hand on my shoulder and asked me what was wrong. I shrugged and kept walking.
"I never imagined that it would be this big." I spoke incredulously, fingering a control desk to the left of me. She nodded and did the same to her right.
"I thought the same thing the first time I saw it." I smiled at this. At least I wasn't the only one that felt that way. Diana grinned and walked ahead of me.
"So, tell me about your team." I cringed and rubbed the back of my neck.
"I don't have a team, I mean, not anymore." She raised an eyebrow.
"And why is that? Please tell me you didn't leave them for us." I felt a faint blush adorn my cheeks as I nodded silently.
"They told me to leave." I confessed, sighing as she eyed me warily.
"And you believed them, really now Dick, how dense can you be!" I felt a hand connect lightly with the back of my head as I stood there in surprise. I blinked rapidly and folded my arms over each other in defiance.
"I know, I had that same realization on the way here." She laughed high and silver and put her hand to her lips in thought. I watched her and smiled innocently.
"And what are you going to do about it, that's your team and those are your friends." I nodded repugnantly and sighed. I opened my mouth to speak when an alarm went off. I stared at Diana for a moment until she pulled me away into some sort of a meeting room.
The room was big with a circular table and chairs. I noticed some of the peopleI had met earlier and raised an eyebrow. I saw what looked like a projector screen on the wall and looked at it intently.
A clip was playing and I couldn't help looking at it intrepidly. Someone was robbing a jewelry store and they had successfully defeated the Titans East. I saw the dark figure of a man I had put away only days before. There was Red-X being as sneaky as ever, but I stopped suddenly as my eyes fell on his accomplice. My mouth fell open as I stared at the beautiful face of Starfire, and she was leaving in his arms.
Oh no, wow did I enjoy writing this chapter! I hope you all liked it, and thank you all soooo much for the reviews!
