Sorry it took so long to update. Been at the beach where I got both inspiration and a nice tan.

Chapter 7: I Can't Wait Forever

Raven looked herself up and down in the mirror. She was wearing a black leather corset and tight leather pants (okay the outfit might belong to Underworld just a little) Beast Boy had given these to her as a gag gift last Christmas.

Who's laugh know, she thought looking at her butt in the mirror. It really did bring out her curves as he told her laughing it would. She breathed in deeply grabbing a black trench coat off her bed to cover herself up with. She then ran off to the police station.

If she was right, her old lover, Brad, would still have the key to unlock all high security cells. Ands if she was right, he was still single and a jerk who would do anything for a good fuck.

She approached the sign-in desk.

"Hello, can you direct me to Brad Gillis's office?" she asked a police women at the desk. She looked at Raven suspiciously.

"What is your business here?" she asked.

"He is holding onto something I lost awhile ago. I've come to pick it up," Raven lied smoothly.

"Very well," the last finally said. "His office is the second door down Law Enforcement hallway. The number is 135, you can't miss it."

"Thank you," she told the lady heading towards his office.

As soon as his door came into view, Raven took one last breath before approaching the door and knocking.

"I told you to leave me alone Malone!" a voice called from inside. "There is no way I'm going to pay you."

"Hello, is this Brad Gillis's office?" Raven asked.

"Yeah, yeah, I'm coming," he responded. As soon as he opened the door, his expression turned from exasperated to very, very happy. "Why, Raven, how long has it been?"

"Just let me in Gillis and I'll tell you how long it's been," she replied smiling.

"Please come in," Brad told her smiling. Raven stepped into the office and looked around. Still the same Brad. His Playboy calendar on his desk, his office walls covered with pictures of criminals and his desk covered with numerous reports.

"So, what did you come here for?" Brad asked. Raven slowly took off the trench coat and watched in amusement as Brad's eyes widened slowly.

"What do you think I've come for, Bradley?" she responded seductively. Brad grabbed her and crashed his lips onto his and immediately backed her into the desk. With one swipe of his hand, he cleared it hastily. He laid her down on the desk and began to kiss her down her neck. Just as he began to remove her corset, Raven took out a syringe and injected a tranquilizer into his bloodstream. He slowly got up off her and looked at her confused. Then he fell over out for the count. Raven began rummaging through his draws looking for the key. She finally found the keycard and ran off to the maximum security cells while putting the trench coat on at the same time.

"Raven," a voice hissed out of one.

"Robin?" she asked.

"Yeah, it's me get me out of here," Robin responded. She followed his voice to a cell that contained not Robin, but Red-X.

"Do they know you're him?" she asked sliding the keycard through an access panel.

"They have no clue. I got the mask on before anyone could put two and two together," he replied as she opened the door for him. She embraced him not wanting to let go.

"What do we do now?" she asked.

"We?"

"Yes, we."

"We, do nothing. This is my fault. I'm going to Gotham to lie low under a new alias. I want you to wait for me."

"I can't wait forever, Robin."

"I'm not asking for forever. Just a few years maybe."

"I'm not losing you again," she told him.

"You won't, I promise," he replied.

They ran out the building together.

"Bye for now," he said quickly kissing her.

"Bye," she whispered as he disappeared.
