Chapter 9: Rooftops and Invitations

Raven didn't get it as she wandered the streets of Gotham, her third night in a row.

Why didn't Robin ever call? How could he ever think that she would move on? She promised him she would wait. Did he really think that she was happily married or dating some other guy?

"Men," she muttered under the breath walking into a coffee shop. She looked around and saw no one but a young woman that had to be about her age. She sat down at the nearest empty table after buying her coffee. She sat there in thought sipping her coffee silently.

After a while, a man entered the store. She nearly dropped her coffee at the sight of him. She saw Robin walk right by here without a word and sit down next to the woman barley three tables from Raven.

"Sorry I'm late, baby," he told her smiling. He kissed her on the cheek and sat down next to her.

"Wayne Enterprises is keeping my boyfriend away from me again, huh?" she asked turning a page in her magazine.

"Oh, don't be like that," Robin said standing up and wrapping his arms around her. "I work for the biggest company in Gotham. You've got to expect long hours."

"Well, tell Mr. Wayne he's in for it this time," she said looking into his eyes the way Raven look into them.

"I will," he responded kissing her. When he pulled away, his eyes met Raven's tear-filled ones. He quickly looked away. She ran out of the coffee shop and turned down the nearest alley. She then threw her bask against the nearest wall and slide down to the cold hard concrete. She couldn't loose control….she couldn't loose control. Her powers began to cover the nearest dumpster in black magic. She then sat there and cried, needless to say, the dumpster exploded.

That bastard! That fucking bastard! I hope he dies a horrible painful death! Fuck him! And fuck her too! She thought angrily.

Sirens pulled her out of her angry thoughts. Good, someone I can take my anger out on.

She followed the police, to a man in the middle of the road who had a woman in one hand and a gun pointed to her hand in the other.

"Get any closer and I'll blow her brain out!" he yelled. The woman cried softly as the barrel went deeper and deeper into the woman's head. Raven enclosed the woman in her magic and levitated her to safety. She then went after the man who had started running once he saw the woman uplifted in the air. She chased to the top of a building where he was standing on the edge with nowhere to go.

"Stay back," he commanded. "I'll jump, I swear I will!"

"No loss to me," Raven told him. The man fired a shot and hit Raven in the leg.

All of a sudden, a figure came down from the sky knocking the man to his death.

Raven looked up to see Robin. She walked over to him.

"You bastard!" she yelled beating on his chest furiously. "No wonder you never even let me know if you were alive! You fucking bastard!"

"Raven," he whispered calmly.

"Don't," she told him tears streaming down her face.

"I had no idea what to do," he explained. "I was lost without you."

"And that's an excuse?" she asked angrily. Robin hang his head.

"Raven, I…I …" he stammered.

"You what?" she asked. He pulled her close and captured his mouth with her. She jumped up and wrapped her legs around his waist to deepen the kiss. She had missed him so much. He turned her around and slammed her against the nearest wall. She gasped and bit his neck. Soon he was removing her cloths in the darkness of the rooftop. She pulled his costume from his body hurriedly like he would be gone if she wasn't quick enough. He laid her on the ground when they were both undressed and entered. She gasped in pleasure of having him in her once again. She began to move her hips rhythmically with his as he moved in and out of her faster and harder. Pretty soon, she reached her climax followed by him. Robin hit the ground next to her breathing hard.

"I love you, Raven," he told her before getting up and getting dressed. She also began to dress herself.

"What about your girlfriend?" she asked.

"Shh…" he told her putting a finger on her lips. "Meet me here tomorrow and we'll talk then."

Raven watched him fly off into the distance.
