Lonely Paths Come Together Two: Destiny

Chapter Fifteen

The irritation we're pretending not to show,

Has replaced the motivation,

That I had not long ago,

I know that,

Night Wing had made sure Raven came back safely from her outing.

"Are you going anywhere tonight?" She asked.

"Most likely." Was the answer she got. "I want to make sure Slade won't try anything."

"What if he comes for you?"

"I'm not that little boy anymore." Night Wing told her and a smile barely reached his lips.

"You're more of a full grown man." She told him lightly kissing him on the lips. "Good kisser too." She walked away with a light smile on her face.

"He won't hurt you Raven." Night Wing whispered under his breath watching Raven go about her business.

After about two hours of getting everything ready, it was night-time. He began to search for Raven and found her in their bedroom, lying on the bed reading. Once they had become intimate with each other they had decided to share rooms, and Night Wing didn't mind. It gave him a chance to spend more time with Raven and get a chance to keep her safe at night.

I don't ever want to be the one,

To make you forget it,

I don't ever want to make you resent it,

I never want to be the one to make you repress it,

I don't ever want to be,

"What are you reading?"

"Angels & demons by Dan Brown, very good book actually." She replied and Night Wing went over to her, leaning over her and putting his hand on her stomach, reading what the cover of the book said.

"Before The DA Vinci Code was broken, the world lay at the mercy of Angels & Demons…hmmm… sounds interesting. When your finished with it, tell me, I want to read it."

"Okay." She said turning her eyes back to the book. Night Wing leaned his head down, pulled her chin up and pressed his lips to hers. She moaned into the kiss as he intensified it.

He removed the black robe that surrounded her body felt his gloved hands across her soft body. She arched her body up to him when he made contact with her breast. He kissed down her jaw and neck, kissing her breast. She moved herself closer to his mouth, moving her hands through his long hair, loving the feel of him.

It's the beginning of the end,

And I don't know where we lost control,

It's the beginning of the end,

And I know that I am all alone,

He sucked gently on her, making sure she enjoyed herself. He pulled away and removed his cloths, leaving his mask on though. He had never showed anyone even Raven his eyes. He felt naked without his mask, even if he really was naked.

He moved back down to her, taking her mouth into a heated kiss, which she did enjoy thoroughly. He spread her legs and entered her slowly, and she gasped at the contact. He thrust in faster after awhile letting her move up against him, once she was used to him inside her. She was moaning now and Night Wing loved to hear it.

He kissed her breast as she wrapped her legs around his waist bringing him closer to her.

Five minutes later he had released and pulled away from her, wrapping his arms around her and pulling her close to him. He tossed the book on the nearby table and covered them both with the blanket.

"Did I hurt you?" Night Wing asked he was always concerned that he might break her if he did anything too hard.

"No you didn't. I enjoyed myself." She said still out of breath.

It was 10:00 now and Night Wing was trying not to count down the minutes until he had to go to the docks to meet Slade.

Interrogation has replaced the trust we had,

Your misguided accusations,

Helping me to turn my back,

I know that,

"Are you tired sweetheart?"

"Mmmm…yes." She breathed, getting comfortable on the bed. Her back was against Night Wing's chest and his arm was draped over her waist holding her tightly to him.

"Go to sleep love." He whispered to her.

"But my book, I want to finish the chapter." She stated. "It's a good book."

"Maybe tomorrow, please go to sleep Raven." He asked trying to keep the urgency out of his voice.

"Okay…is everything alright?"

"I just don't want you tired in the morning, can't be tired, it makes you sluggish through out the day."

I don't ever want to be the one,

To make you divide it,

I never want to be the one to make you deny it,

I never want to be the one to make you deprive it,

I don't every want to be,

"I didn't know you were a doctor." She stated laughing gently but closed her eyes allowing sleep to over take her.

Two hours till the meeting

Night Wing stayed awake the entire time, listening to Raven breathe gently. She had never been one to snore, so that was partly a relief, although Night Wing didn't mind one way or another.

He gently moved away from her, trying not to wake her, he pulled the covers comfortably around her so she was warm and didn't automatically sense the absence of his presence. He quickly got dressed, fixing his mask and going to the room where his weapons were stored. He filled the belt with some of his strongest weapons to take on Slade. He had no real idea what he would do. If he could force the antidote to what was in Raven out of Slade, than maybe he wouldn't have to do much.

But if it didn't work out that way, he probably should have dug his early grave.

Once his belt was complete he went back to his room and lightly kissed Raven on the forehead. He went to the desk drawer, opened it and pulled out a small picture of Raven she had taken of herself on his birthday. He put it safely in his belt for later reviewing. He gave one last kiss to Raven and left the cave, taking his now blue and black speed bike with him.

It's the beginning of the end,

And I don't know where we lose control,

It's the beginning of the end,

And I know that I am all alone,

He sped through the streets, taking the ally ways to the docks. It took him twenty minutes to get to his destination. He parked the bike on the side of the building making sure it was on lock down.

It was now 1:45 in the morning; Night Wing had come early for a reason. He wanted to see if he could get an advantage over Slade. He went inside the building, watching the stacks of metal, and the long bars that held the building together. The place was still dark as it was outside. Night Wing didn't mind however.

"Your early Robin, I wasn't expecting you till three." Slade said from above him on the metal bars that held the place up.

"Well I'm here now."

"You're obviously trying to find something to use against me." Night Wing heard Slade land to the floor softly, almost like a cat, but deadlier. He walked out from the shadows, hands placed behind his back again. "But that won't work Robin."

"Alright…so now what?"

"I thought it was clear to you before that I now control you, through Raven's life of course."

"I'm getting tired of your games Slade. Why do you want me?"

I though that we would find our way,

I thought our life would be okay,

I thought that you believed in me,

But now it seems so far away,

"Because I can Robin…you should feel proud. Out of all the people I could have had, I chose you. You should congratulate yourself, about being my new apprentice."

"That's it? I'm not a boy anymore Slade, I don't need a teacher."

"Oh I know that, you're far from being a boy, but there are some things that I want to straighten up with you."

"And those things would be?"

"I see some rough spots about you that I don't like and that I intend on correcting."

"And your going to threaten me with Raven until you straighten me out is that right?"

"Very good Robin, you're catching on."

"If I don't want to obey, and I decide to kill you instead, with the added bonus of saving Raven."

The life we knew before is gone,

There is no compromising,

The life you save will be your own,

To find your inner senses,

To find your inner senses,

"Those new gadgets you put into your belt won't help you here." Slade raised his hand and a control came sliding out, the button barely an inch away from his thumb. "If you make one wrong move that I don't like, you will return home, to find your dead girl friend."

Night Wing gritted his teeth, "Fine so you have me there."

"That's good Robin." Slade said coming closer to Night Wing, until he was only a foot from him.

They were the same height now, and they look each other in the eye. Night Wing wasn't as buff as Slade, more thinner, but still had muscle to back up threats when made, and plus people could see his face, minus his eyes and it wasn't a bad site at all, he had a strong jaw line, his nose melded perfectly with his face and the long black hair made him even more sexier, making Raven a very lucky girl.

"What are you doing?"

"I wouldn't want you to know where my lair is located now would I? So obey and Raven will live to see the morning." Slade told him and injected a serum into Night Wing's neck, it slowly ran through his system, shutting everything down, and making him collapse. Slade didn't bother to catch him, but he did pick him and walked back into the shadows with his new prize.

It's the beginning of the end,

And I don't know where we lost control,

It's the beginning of the end,

And I know that I am all alone.


A/N

I hope the sex scene wasn't too explict, I wanted to get a little more romance into their relationship before moving on with Slade.

The book Angels & Demons by Dan Brown is a real book and also very good.

Thank you for reading and reviewing.
