Chapter 4
Slade growled ashe watched the two teens embracing, this is not right, that should be me! He said to himself, what am I saying? Am I falling for Raven? No that's not possible, I'm just angry because they ruined the concert, yes that's a logical explanation.
Slade continued to watch the Titans, his jealousy and anger getting the better of him. Slade walked up behind the two birds and spoke,
"My my, what do we have here?"
The two Titans spun around to see Slade standing tall, with his hands behind his back.
"Slade what are you doing here?" hissed Robin, standing protectively in front of Raven.
"Enjoying the sounds and sights," he replied looking mischievously at Raven, who visible shuddered.
"Whatever your up to Slade we'll stop you," Robin growled, falling into a fighting stance, dam the night was going so well, was Robin's last thought as he lunged forward at Slade.
Slade blocked all of Robin's attacks effortlessly, but was caught off guard as black energy wrapped around his legs, paralyzing him where he stood. Slade looked up to see Raven standing smugly in front and Robin advancing towards him.
Slade smirked, all though the two ruffled birds didn't see it and announced,
"If you to continue to have a deep relationship, there will be consequences." With that he threw a smoke bomb at the teens, leaving them disorientated, and Raven couldn't focus on keeping Slade contained and released him by accident. Allowing the masked villain escape again!
The smoked cleared, but left the birds coughing and spluttering, they fell to the ground looking up into the starry night, panting. Both teens cursing at the interruption in their minds.
The concert however was continuing normally, at least something went right Robin thought as he checked on Raven, who had her amethyst closed.
"Raven?" The teen quizzed, lying on his back beside her.
"Robin?" she quizzed back, opening her eyes and stared into his through his glasses.
"Are you okay?" they asked simultaneously, and shared a chuckle still starring into each others eyes, as the Evanescence bid their farewell and the concert came to an end.
Sighing Robin and Raven got up from the ground and headed to Robin's bike, hidden in the bushes near by. Placing the helmets on, Raven jumped on after Robin, wrapping her hands around his waist for grip, as he sped out from the forest back to the Tower.
The Tower was dark, but certainly not quiet. The rest of team were having a movie marathon. Raven and Robin slipped passed them easily as they were glued to the T.V like zombies, occasionally one of them would have popcorn or have a drink.
Robin walked Raven to her room as their rooms were only two doors apart. Upon reaching Raven's door she said,
"I really had a great time today Robin."
"So did I," the teen replied, "I'd love to do it again sometime."
"I'd like that," Raven smiled before bidding him a goodbye turning to go into her sanctuary, Robin placed a hand on her shoulder.
Raven turned to face him, but their lips came into contact, it was a slow gentle kiss, when they broke apart Robin whispered,
"Goodnight beautiful," before walking to his own room.
Raven stood there stunned, he kissed me she thought. Slowly Raven raised a hand to feel her lips they were still warm from the contact with Robin. She smiled, but could feel her emotions, getting a bit rowdy and decided to pay them a visit before bed. Raven sat crossed legged in a lotus position on her blue queen sized bed, whilst holding her spiked mirror in her right hand.
Soon enough the portal to her head opened and she landed gracefully in Nevermore, to see all of her emotions running around rioting, lead by none other than the green cloaked emotion known as Courage.
"WOOOOHOOO! He likes us and that kiss was awesome! She called out to her look alike sisters.
Raven gawked at her emotions, if they were behaving like this why weren't her powers going haywire?
"I believe I can answer that," stated Intelligence levitating beside a very confused Raven. Clearing her throat she announced,
"Since you repress an emotion they fight back but if you allow them, they won't trigger off your powers but there's a time limit depending on the emotion."
Raven smiled but managed to calm down her emotions, to enable her to sleep without having to wake up repeatedly to tell them to shut up.
In the morning the Titians were called out to deal with a few rogue villains, such as Dr Light and Control Freak.
Dr Light was easy, he immediately asked to go back to jail as soon as he spotted Raven, and Control Freak was pathetic, he didn't even bring his remote instead he used and double twin lightsaber, which was effortlessly broken by Cyborg's immense strength.
Since it was lunch time when the heroes finished their call, they headed out to the pizza parlour. The same argue occurred at the circular table between Cyborg and Beast Boy about meat and tofu.
Raven shook her head at the immaturity of the two, there was a very simple solution but the boys were too caught up in their argument to see it. Sighing, Raven called the waiter over and told him their order; the waiter smiled and went to get their order.
Raven looked over at the boys who were still arguing but ceased immediately when a freshly cooked pizza was placed in front of them, steam wafting from the pizza signalling that it was hot.
"Dudes!" Beast Boy said confused.
"Who ordered?" asked Cyborg, looking at the pizza, half of it was plane cheese and on the half was all the meat toppings available.
"Raven did," answered their masked leader taking a slice of meat topped pizza and received a glare from the changeling.
"Well nice choice Rae!" Cyborg complimented rubbing his hands eagerly.
After lunch the Titians returned to the Tower to do their own thing since it wasn't often they got a bit of free time.
Beast Boy and Cyborg headed straight for the game station, with Starfire watching fascinated by the games of video. Robin went to his room to listen to some music and to chase up any leads on Slade and why he had left Raven and him the warning.
Raven however did not go to meditate; she made her way to the gym to improve on her martial arts skill, not caring that she was still a novice.
Removing her shoes again Raven worked on all of the techniques that Robin had taught her. After she had successfully gone through all the techniques, she wanted to learn more but she was a bit nervous after what had happened yesterday, but Courage took charge made her walk right up to the Boy Wonder's room.
Sighing Raven knocked softly on the metal door, the sound echoing around the corridor. The door whooshed open revealing a very annoyed Robin, but his facial expression changed when he saw that it was Raven.
"Uh…are you busy?" Raven asked timidly
"A little I was working on what Slade had meant by his warning," he informed her.
"Oh well I'll just go," Raven said walking away, until a gloved had entwined itself between hers.
Turning around Raven looked at the boy and saw that his hair was on end; like he had run his fingers through it many times, he looks like he's been at this for a while Raven thought, but snapped out of her daze when Robin spoke,
"I could use some help," he stated softly in her ear, Raven nodded this way she could stop him from getting obsessed again.
The masked teen pulled Raven into his lair, with the door closing blocking all outside disturbances. Raven looked around the boy's room in the centre was a king size bed with satin red sheets, a big window that had a great view of the city and a huge desk in the corner littered with every file and record the Titans had of the devious orange and black masked villain.
The two birds worked on every source they had but Raven didn't tell Robin about the night visit or what Slade had said to her when she was in the headlock.So the conclusion was inconclusive, sighing Raven sat on Robin's bed and sieved through everything that happened over the few days of Slade appearances.
Raven sighed again as she thought about last night with Robin. The Boy Wonder turned in his seat and looked at his cloaked team mate and asked,
"Raven is there something wrong?" hoping that she would open up to him.
"Robin…you know what you said yesterday to me about me being beautiful was it true?" Raven whispered looking at the ground.
Robin rose from his chair and sat next to the girl and answered,
"Raven look at me," he cupped her face and gently made her look into his, masked eyes; "I meant everything I said and including the kiss."
"But I'm not beautiful like Starfire," she retorted.
"Yeah you're right," he agreed looking into her big violet orbs, "You're gorgeous, no perfect."
"Robin," she whispered but was silenced, by Robin's soft lips capturing hers.
This time she leaned into it, enjoying the sensation, until there was a bang!
The birds broke apart to see Robin's beside lamp explode, Raven blushed but Robin smiled and wrapped his arms around Raven and held her, forgetting Slade, the Titians, just appreciating the powerful woman he held in is arms.
