Chapter 3: A Little Discussion

Slowly opening her eyes Raven was beyond shocked when she glanced at her clock and saw that it read 12:46, propping herself on her elbows she rubbed the eye to get the blurriness from it and to check if she read correctly. Glowing and ever taunting, Raven groaned, How could I have let myself sleep so late? This is so going to ruin my routine. Flopping back down on her pillow she turned around and if the alarm clock wasn't enough to shock her awake, Red-X's slumbering body on her window ceil was.

Blinking she sat up again and observed his peaceful face, which she noticed with much a grateful prayer that he was silent and harmless for once. Sighing and shuffling from her bed she unclipped her clock and let it drop to the edge of the bed. She figured since he was sleeping he wouldn't be bothering her for the while she meditated.

Lord knows she needed it.

After everything that had been going down in her life, the feeling that it was just going to get worse quenched at her stomach. So to quell it she closed her eyes and in the middle of her room sat cross-legged and began her meditation. Never saying her words aloud she chanted them quietly in her mind so to keep Red-x asleep.

Like that helped.

Apparently the gods had a sick sense of humor for her, cause Red-X had been awake for most of the night. Now he was sitting up and watching her meditate. Not something every villain saw every day.

Villain.

He rolled that title around his head for a little and found that he couldn't exactly call himself a villain any more. Cause for three days straight he was already making friends with a Titan. Yet, he was still an ex-criminal on the run. He knew he said that he didn't ask for clemency, but was it possible that maybe they'd give him a second chance?

With a big yawn that threatens to split his very head in half Raven opened one eye and closed it. He's awake … should have known … turning around although still in the air she glared, "And here I thought you were just a dream."

He snickered, "I said it before and I'll say it once more, glad to know I got a fan."

"Get over yourself." Raven turned her back again and resumed her meditation, but since he was awake she figured silence wasn't an option any more.

"So traffic-light got on your case." There was a second meaning to that, but Raven didn't dare dwell on it.

"What's it to you?"

"Well nothing really just wanted to make conversation. Besides his scent is all over you. Something tells me bird-boy got a bit possessive, and needy if ya know what I mean." Raven growled, meditation thrown out the window once more it was not working. Getting to her feet she turned to glare with her not-so-intimidating height at the smug Red-x.

"FYI, he's a devil, and I'm the only other hellish creature here that'll probably get his attention. Starfire is the right choice for him, a balance that'll right his unstable mind. Hell creatures are always better off with pure creatures. Especially males, they have the tendency to … lose control." Satisfied with her answer she walked to her bed and snatched her cape, then walked to her closet.

Listening as Red-X stretched and cracked his bones then grunt in satisfaction of the released tension in his joints he found a curve ball to throw, "Well, she maybe the right choice for him … but can she handle him?"

Sighing Raven stuffed her cape in not caring if it was messy as she closed the closet and leaned against the door giving him a pointed look, "Okay, where are you going with this?"

He shrugged, "Starfire is a pure that'll send any hell creature into submission even calm them in their most blood-thirsty states … but will she be able to handle Robin when the time came for it? She's not the dark kind of girl, sure she may understand, but that doesn't mean she can handle it. Come on she barely likes to be around you, though she tries she can't always keep up."

Raven nodded and shuffled from her closet to sit on her bed, back to him she sat so she could be able to see him through the corner of her eye, "You make an interesting point, but if you're implying that I be with Boy-Wonder. That's out of the question. Devil and demon pairings don't always work out."

"But you're a half-breed." Red-X stated nonchalantly, normally Raven would be snapping at him now, but she came to get use to the know-it-all remarks he made.

"As true as that my so bluntly be, but that'll just make things worse, full breeds don't exactly like to mingle with half-bloods such as myself."

"Now you see, it's that kind of attitude and overestimation that always get people to hesitate," giving her a cool look he shook his head, "stop worry so damn much and just go for it. You think you know so much about my kind, well consider this, I'm you're ally now aren't I?"

"Are you?" Raven shot back, "Can I trust you with my life Red-X?"

"You could trust me with your very soul," he said in an almost mockery tone, he caught it and cleared his throat, "look, I know trust doesn't come easy to you, but if you're brave enough to trust me for three days straight. Who's to say that I don't feel the same way … I hate to say this sunshine, but I think you're growing on me."

Raven snorted and hid a small smirk forming at her lips, true she found that Red-X company was … tolerable … at times and even if she was still a bit upset for him lying to her about his true nature. She couldn't really blame him; she once knew the feeling of being hunted and it wasn't a good one. "Nice to know I've softened the heart of a cold-blood thief."

He chuckled, "Damn straight melted it … ironic considering you're the ice queen."

"Don't start with me." Raven got from her bed and still only dressed in her leotard walked around the bed to the chest to find her self a decent book to read. Not 10 seconds into her searching did she feel his presents looming over her, but she ignored it intent on finding something to pass the time.

It wasn't until she felt him crouch down behind her and teasingly reached over her slightly pressing her closer to the chest did she begin to feel uncomfortable. Just about to growl at him to get off she notice his hand snatch up a very familiar white book. Leaning away she quickly turned her upper body to face him and was glad that he had sat back onto the floor.

"What are you doing?" she glowered.

He flashed the white book and a wave of memories flashed through her eyes, closing them she tried to gain control of her emotions. Taking a deep breath she heard him ask his inquiring question, "I've been feeling strange things coming from this chest, I never thought it come from a book."

With a heavy sigh she reached over to snatch the book from him, but he pulled it back she growled, "It's a book that contains a curse, something is locked in there that I never want to relive. Now give it here."

"No," he teased, with a playful smirk. Raven reached over again, but he pulled his arm back,

"X, this isn't funny the one in that book is very powerful and manipulative. Now give it." she said with much more force once again going for the book. This time Red-X leaned back in order to keep the distance from her short reach and she leaned forward cursing herself for touching her body with his.

"Aw come on, he can't be all that bad."

"This has just lost it's funny, give back the book X I'm not playing with you!" this time she jumped him in order to get the book, but he threw it back at the chest. Smacking the cover and slamming it down after the book, trapping it back in the chest while Raven laid on him. Their faces very close to the point that their breathing mingled with one another, their slow steady heartbeats felt by one another telling how close they really were.

A very suggesting grin came to his face as they laid sprawled in a very suggesting position, "Well now, here I thought you only wanted an autograph."

She glared and punched him in the chest, "You stinkin' cheat, and here I thought you wanted me with Robin."

"Your words not mine," Raven hated that grin; she hated the fact that he could have tricked her so easily. Blushing with complete embarrassment she got up and dust off her shoulder then stormed to her bathroom. Propping himself on his elbows he snickered, "Where you goin'?"

She stopped to shoot him a glare and a pointed, "To wash your filthy scent off my body, it's beginning to make me sick."

"Wow, moody much." Getting up without a sound Red-X reached his hands up high over his head and stretched, Raven snobbed him. Slamming the bathroom door shut he shook his head. She was just to fun to get a reaction out of.

Just then a knock came to the door and Red-X glared at it, Doesn't this guy ever quit? Staying as silent as the dead X slowly walked to the bedchamber where he hid behind the wall, masking his scent he listened as his knocking became more urgent and he called out her name.

Inside the bathroom, Raven was more than irritated, hadn't she had enough of the devils for one night? Wrapped in a towel she held it firmly to her chest and opened the door up a tad enough to see the masked wonder. The stunned expression on his face was quickly replaced with his usual cool demeanor. Raven glared, "Speak fast Robin cause as you can see you caught me in the middle of something."

"Oh … uh … sorry, but … uh …" he cleared his throat playing the role of cool leader, "I thought I heard a noise came to see if everything was alright. Everything in order?"

For a split second Raven was confused about what kind of noise he would have heard, but then she remembered Red-X had thrown the book to the chest and the cover was already up against the wall. An irritated look crossed her face as she huffed and waved her hand to dismiss it, "It's fine Robin, everything's okay it was nothing to be to concerned about."

"You sure?" Robin narrowed his eyes, her scent was off he was sure from earlier she would still have his own lingering on her … but it just … wasn't there any more. That enraged him more than anything, his devil side any way. Thanking the mask that he wore over his eyes he knew they were glowing red, like they always did whenever Raven was around. She just tortured him in a bittersweet way, and it was getting harder to resist.

Just like earlier.

Robin was sure that if he hadn't have gained control long enough, he would have done something terrible. Now was no different, his control that he so prided himself of having was slipping again for the second time that day.

Raven gulped inwardly and took a cautious step back, she could feel his anger rising and feel through their bond he wanted something that was just out of his reach. She had to make a quick discreet escape, "Yes, now if you don't mind … I have some business to attend to."

She could have sworn she saw pink in his white mask from the darkness that surrounded him. A low, very dangerous growl escaped his lips as he stepped a little closer to the door. Leaning his head on the thresh hold an eerie calm coming over him as he forced the door a little wider. Raven held her breath as his voice, very passive and emotionless echoed in her dark room, "Raven … yow know what I'm becoming … don't you?"

No response.

He continued, "I wasn't suppose to be transforming this quickly … but I guess our little run in with Trigon trigged it. Do you have any idea what you're doing to me?"

"Don't loose control Robin," Raven warned sternly, glad that her cold persona was still in gear, "If you know what's going on, conscious to your actions than don't let your heritage rule … control it, I know you have it."

He titled his head and a smirk came to his lips, pushing off the thresh hold he opened the door wide enough for him to slip in, and then closed it. Raven didn't know whether to be pissed or intimidated because the second he stepped in he let his own concealment drop. Not just his aura flowed and showed just how powerful he was, scaring her out of her mind, but his mask … he had taken it off to revel his glowing red eyes.

Just like Red-X he had the same blood-red markings suddenly appearing on his cheeks, but they were glowing. He bared his fully-grown fangs and gestured with his long grown out claws to himself, growling, "Does this look like control to you?"

On the side, in the bedchamber, behind the wall Red-X's own eyes were glowing. Another devil had just let loose his aura and was in a challenging mood, his blood was flowing with rage and fury. How dare another creature move in on his territory, he got here first and now he was claiming it as his own?

That. Did not. Sit well with him.

However for the sake of keeping his identity he struggled with his devil to maintain his concealment. Raven better get rid of him soon, or there's gonna' be a blood bath. Devils don't fight just to warn others away, they fight to make sure their title was secure … meaning the threat had to go. Biting down the urge to growl, Red-X was shocked to say the least that he was holding back this long, Come on Raven! Lose him! I honestly don't want to cause a scene! Ah! Damn! Not good!

Shit! Red-X is still in the room … gotta' act fast, although still worried about the fact that Robin was exposing his true self she couldn't risk two powerful devils fighting in her room. Not only would the out come be disastrous, they'd obliterate her room without a second thought. Gripping her towel she couldn't help to find it slightly humorous that she was being serious when she wasn't wearing anything other than a towel.

Holding out her hand to him she put it hesitantly on his shoulder and held it gently, knowing this was going to do nothing for him. Only purities had that kind of power, but she just hoped she could get through to him with their bond trying to make him see things as clearly as possible.

"Robin," she called softly as his head bowed, eyes still glowing fangs still narrowed and bared. She held a little tighter, "Robin … I'm sorry for what I've done to you … but you can't let it take you. You knew the day was coming, I just sped it up, now all you have to do is embrace it, don't let it consume … there's a difference."

The muscles under her hand relaxed and she took a breath happy that she had gotten to him. Or had she? Before she knew, she was grabbed by the wrist spun around so her arm was around her waist with his over hers, the hand gripping her towel tightened has she felt his other hand snake over it and hold it. Braced possessively against his chest she held her breath as she felt his head dip down to her side and nuzzle the crock of her neck. Breathless, she didn't know what to do … she was having hard time breathing properly as she felt his tongue dart out to have a taste of her flesh.

Robin held tighter, he was so tempted, so temped to just take her now. Make her his, and her squirming was not helping the matters any. She tasted too good, and was only her skin; he wanted more of her, and everything she had to offer to the world or just in the privacy of any given quarters.

"Robin …" she whispered utterly breathless, his growl deepened as he just held her close taking in her scent. Fruity-licious and with a hint of vanilla, delicious.

Whispering in her ear he chuckled inwardly when he heard her whimper. Whether it was in fear or otherwise he didn't care, but he liked it when she showed a reaction from his touch, "You. Have no idea. What you do to me."

Still holding her he lead her to the bathroom and gently pushed her in a puppy like whine threatening to surface from his throat when he let her go, but he gulped it down. Closed the door, and left without any more hitches. That was the second time he had gotten so close to her, and frankly he couldn't wait for the third time … the fourth time … the fifth time … aw hell he couldn't wait to make her his once and for all.

At least his devil couldn't.

Once out side her room he leaned against the door and grabbed his mask from his pocket putting them back on he was happy that his boiling blood was simmering down. Although that didn't mean the feeling went away forever as he pushed off the door and walked casually down the hall to his room. Acting as if nothing had ever happened.

Back inside Red-x was keeping from destroying Raven's room. His devil blood was furious, in a rage, and wanted nothing more than to kill that insolent whelp that dared to cover his territory with his scent. He was so tempted to race down the hall, find the caped bastard and kill him till there was nothing left to kill. Still seeing red – literally – Red-X walked to the window and opened it. Perching himself on the window ceil he found himself calming down ever so slightly as the left-crescent moon peered down on the land.

Ah, the left-crescent moon, not many knew this, but each phase of the moon had an effect on every creature. The left-crescent moon brought creatures peace, why? Because the left side is where you're heart is and it sooths the body, although it may have a stronger effect on other creatures, Red-X felt that it wasn't enough. His eyes were still tinted pink, blood still on the mind.

Stepping down and closing the window he heard Raven exit her shower with a disturbed look of frustration, confusion, and utter embarrassment. Standing and leaning on the divider of the bedchamber to the rest of the room. He watched as she levitated her towel to the rack and turn to him, her embarrassment showing clearly on her face as she bowed her head, "Now you see why it is never good for hell born creatures to be together? Results could be catastrophic."

He snorted, the white in his eyes still bark pink in color, "Don't be such a buzz kill, I said it before, he's just a kid."

"A kid he may be, you felt his power … it's already frighteningly strong, and growing." Raven pointed out.

Red-X shrugged, "He's formidable, but you haven't seen me yet … I'm older than him, I'm easing my way into my devil blood. That's why I have more control; he was forced into his state. You should train him for control."

Raven shot him a pointed look, "That. Would be the stupidest idea of the century, you were in the room you saw how … well … we, uh … he … um … well, you saw what happened earlier. He can't even be in the same room alone with me without going crazy."

"Just a suggestion." Sighing tiredly Red-X shot a glare at the door, "That guy … takes life … way to seriously."

Raven shrugged and walked tiredly to the bed reading the clock next to her bed, it was officially the next day. 2:55. Shaking her head she plopped on her bed and put an arm over her eyes, whispering, "That's Robin for you."

She felt the bed to her left sink and knew Red-x had sat with her. Lifting her arm she saw a flash of concern go through his beautiful amber eyes. With the moon light behind him, Raven's breathing hitched as the silhouette of him self loomed over her. With only his eyes, with the tinted pink gone looking at her. It was stunning, something she'd never seen before in her life. Then when the next words flew out of his mouth, she wasn't sure if she was dreaming anymore, "You okay? You seem kind of shaken."

So … out of character for him to actually care.

Sitting up she was relived when the silhouette vanished and she could see him other than just his eyes. Looking away she sighed and put her head in her hands, shaking and groaning in frustration she shot up and glared at the door. Her cold hearted self-coming back full force, "That bastard came in my room, harassed him, then touched me all without my consent. How do you think I feel?"

He shrugged, recovering back to his old self, "Pretty shitty I guess. If that were me, I'd get even, but that's just me."

"Right," Raven nodded, "Well then, I'll wait till the morning to get my revenge, and then we're going shopping."

"And the ball flies to left-field," Red-X raised a brow, "Did you just say we're going shopping?"

Raven gave him a dry look, "Yes, got a problem, I'll sneak you in with some of Cyborg's clothes before we leave. I got everything planned."

Now it was Red-X turn to give a dry look, "Do I look like I fit Cyborg's clothes?"

"No, but make it work cause I doubt you want to look like a little kid in Beast Boy's or even want to dress in Robin's. Deal?" Raven raised a brow and Red-X rolled his eyes.

"Whatever, when did you plan this? If I remember correctly your day was shot to shit, and you're night wasn't going very well. How did you plan this?"

"The wonders of a hot steamy bath."

A sneaky grin snaked it's way on his face, "Ooo ideas, ideas, ideas. What else you do in that bath of yours I dare ask."

She glowered at him, "Don't push it."

"Oh I wouldn't dream." Rolling his eyes he got off the bed and stretched, "So … what do we do till then?"

"…" thinking for the moment, Raven crawled over the bed and bent over the side to snatch whatever was in it, in that short time Red-X had gotten a marvelous view of her back side. His eyes tinted pink again, but he squished it down, and looked away. She already belonged to Robin, that much he knew with the way he held her, but that didn't mean he could be her friend with a few … benefits.

Coming back up Raven floated over the bed and to the middle of her room, Red-x followed sitting opposite of her as she set up the familiar game of chess … but with odd looking medieval pawns of people. Looking up to Raven he saw her with grin of knowledge on her face, "Let's play."

Sitting back he looked down at the pieces and grinned him self, chess was one of his favorite games, "Let's play."

--

"Your move." Red-X grinned, it was well into the morning and already the smell of breakfast being made was clear, but they stayed put. This was their 8th game and it was a tie to who was the better chess player. However Red-X was grinning because this would their last game and he was going to win, he could tell because of the frown of concentration on her face. She was so cute when she pouted.

Snapped her eyes up at him she glared, "Trying to think."

"Well you only got one move and even then I'd win." Red-X was enjoying him self a little too much and Raven wasn't liking it. With a deep sigh she closed her eyes and used her telekinesis to sniff out any back up moves. It was a shameful cheat she knew, but she couldn't lose, not after all the times she successfully beaten Boy-Wonder numerous times and he was a very hard opponent. Although Red-X was proving to be a challenge … a very hard challenge … she couldn't lose … but when she stopped scanning and realize her fate she groaned and sat back.

Glaring at Red-X she knocked over he king with a flick of her finger, "You. Win."

His grin got wider if it was even possible, "That's what I thought … by the way bright-eyes is coming."

Looking to the door their was a looming shadow and a delicate feminine knock, "Friend Raven, it is morning and nearly the brunch and we were all wondering when you'd come down to have food with us. Care to join?"

"Be there in a sec Starfire," Raven shouted back helping Red-X put the pieces to her chess game away, still sulking over her loss.

"Okay, we are all waiting." With that the Tamaranian girl floated away and when they stood up Raven noticed how Red-X swayed a bit and took on a wistful look on his face. Putting a hand to his head he shook it and whistled as he glanced at the door.

"Damn, she really is a purity … haven't but heard her voice and I'm already mellowed. Addictive almost." Raven chuckled at Red-x's funny look as she took the pieces and floated to her bed. Putting them under it she looked at him.

"Well, now you agree she's better with Robin?"

He snorted, "She's cute, pretty, easy to be with, easy to talk to, smart on her own level, and drop-dead gorgeous … but she's too innocent, even I wouldn't dare touch that … she's almost sacred. I'd defend her with my life, but I won't touch her in any intimate way … she's not for the dark."

"I never saw it that way … demons aren't actually acute to all that … I never knew." Raven looked down almost ashamed she never knew that much about her own hellish kind.

Red-X grinned and pet her hair, "Don't be so down, besides you still gotta' kill Robin, get in an extra punch for me will ya?"

Raven shook her head and fixed her black hip-hugger pants with her belt hanging loosely to the side her Sugar brand shoes with the lavender pirate kitten symbol on the side. Her top was her leotard; only her cuffs were lavender to match her shoes. Although her trademark cape still hung around her neck, she had made a little alteration to it. Longer and thicker she didn't only have one clip, but two and with the hood down it looked like an owl's head resting on her chest.

Moving to the door she turned to X and growled in contentment, "I'll be back."

"I'll be waiting," plopping lazily in her bed he heard the door click and waited for the chaos to begin.

TAP! TAP! TAP! TAP! TAP!

With a snarl Red-X shot up from Raven's bed to glare at the window and saw a young girl, no older than the age of eight with thick long wavy inky black hair and glowing amber eyes. Red-X mouth dropped in shock as he dashed to the window, opened it, and yanked the girl in mere milliseconds. The girl tumbled on Raven's bed her cape becoming tangled in the mess that was her limbs and hair. She growled, "What was that for Ror-"

She was suddenly silenced when Red-X growled even darker and more menacing as he snapped at her, "It's Red-X, get it straight when you come here! What are you doing here any way!"

The little girl knelt up on her knees glaring amber with amber as she huffed and looked away with a pout, "What? You take off for weeks and never return, only to have us worried over our heads with you? I sneak out to find my only brother to see if he needs help only to find him lounging in a female half-blooded demons bed! Something you wish to say? Oh dear honest brother."

Sighing tiredly Red-X walked up to the bed and sat on it, looking at the little girl with the most genuine look of sorrow. He reached out to brush a lock of hair that had fallen to her face. Only to have her growl and snap at it with her fangs, retracting his hand he glared and like a parent growled warningly, "Watch your manners Francesca, what I do should not even be concerning you at such a young age."

The little girl, now known as Francesca glared up burning her amber eyes deep in her brother's a hurt, worried, and frightened expression all flashed in her young eyes, "Yes it does! You were sent out on a patrol, but you never came back. All the others were saying that you have been hunted! I refused to believe! Then they started saying they were going to elect a new Blood-Hunter! I couldn't let them take your title! So come! We must hurry back, Archer can't hold them for long he has to return to his home soon."

Red-X shook his head at his pleading sister, "I can't Francesca, if I go back I'll be endangering the lives of the Underworld even further, we don't belong there any more Francesca. Let them elect a new Blood-Hunter, but I'm keeping you safe right here."

"Ro – uh X … why do you turn your back on the council? They were the ones that saved us from the last century's hunt! We owe them our lives for that!" Francesca pressed with a surprise look on her face that suddenly darkened when she growled softly, "It's the half-blood isn't it? You mated with a half-blood!"

At this Red-X snarled and frightened the girl to the point where she fell back onto the bed and scrambled away. Knowing it was never wise to upset her brother, he was much stronger than he looked, even his usually fiery playful eyes turned cold as he glared down at her, "Insolent whelp. Do not presume to assume I'm courting a half-blood, that's the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard of. She is an alley, friend, trusted companion that is going to help us survive this century's hunt and lay waste to the one that started it all. The council is nothing but a band of boneless devils that hide from everything, Archer was smart enough to leave as soon as he did."

"I do not understand brother," Francesca sat up right again and crawled to Red-X's side. Putting a gentle soft, caring hand on his balled up fists she looked up to him with curious childish gold eyes, "If we are to leave this council, like we did many … why seek help now? Especially from a half-breed in the Titans, were you not their enemies?"

"Francesca," Red-X sighed and started to calm down, true he didn't know why he was losing his cool with his only flesh and blood relative, he was usually so patient with her. Her words, he guessed, something she said must have offended him though he couldn't understand why. They were just a child's mind working overtime to understand things, shaking his head he had to settle things.

He wasn't going to let her go back to the council, they only went to the Underworlds across the world to avoid the intensity of the hunt, but he was getting sick of hiding. That much he wished his sister could understand. Taking her into his arms he made her sit on his lap so they could really see eye-to-eye. Francesca was always a fast learner all you had to do was tell her the right things and she'd understand in a heartbeat.

The precious girl with the same markings looking up at her precious brother and noticed the struggle in his eyes. She gave a small smile, even though she wasn't quite certain where this was going she had to reassure her brother she was only looking out for number one. Themselves.

"Francesca," he repeated obviously calm enough to speak, "It's difficult to say … but sometimes you gotta' just play your cards right so everything will fall into your favor. Raven's not the only one that I'm after for assistance … but if you use your power the way I've been teaching you, you could feel that there's another devil in the area. Do you understand so far?"

She nodded, "I guess … but … what do you plan and will I ever see Archer again?"

Red-X chuckled and put her down so she was standing her small cape wrapped around her body, her long black wavy hair falling around her shoulders and back. She looked up at him with her cute amber eyes waiting for an answer. This was what she got, "You'll see in do time, and you'll be seeing Archer again in no time … that is, if you're still up to staying here."

Francesca gave him a hard look with a smirk that could rival his own, damn he was teaching her to well, "Something tells me you are going to be getting into a lot of trouble for this, but I ain't complaining none. Next time you plan something like this, tell me a head so I won't have to save a spot you don't want. So when do I make my début?"

He shook his head, either she's been hanging with Archer for to long or he himself was rubbing off to well on her cause she was starting to think like him. Pushing her to the window he opened it and before she went out he said, "Meet at the mall, don't come running until I signal you and make sure you use the spell I taught you understand?"

"Come on kid," she grinned as she jumped out levitating on a hover board her cape bellowing behind her, "It's what I do."

Yep, Red-X sighed, it was official the transformation was nearly complete, she was becoming him, "Get outta' here."

"See ya Ror – er X!" with that she stomped down on a button and blasted off to the city already playing her part, Red-X just shook his head … this was going to be an interesting day.

Closing the window his sensitive hearing picked up the arguing screams of Raven and Robin an all-knowing grin came to his face when he heard the familiar smack of a fist or a slap to a face, he preferred the former.

--

Okay, you're all probably wondering why I didn't claim 'Archer' as my own, well I'll admit the name is mine, but you'll have to read on in the story to see who 'Archer' really is. Besides that I hope it's not that boring to you guys, I promise it'll get more into detail with what's going on later on in the story.

Later days
