"Is friend Raven coming home soon?" Star asked Cy and BB who were playing video games. "Relax Star, she probably already teleported back to her room already." Cy said, not taking his eyes off the game. Star went to go knock on her door to make sure. She knocked and Raven answered the door, but only opened it slightly as to not let Starfire see inside. She was in her room as Cyborge had said. "Friend Raven you are home! Would you like to join me in the watching of the games?" Star asked with great enthusiasm. "Maybe later Star I have a…a lot of meditating to do." She shut her door and Star made her way back to the living room with no questioned asked.

Raven stared at the figure at the bed. He wasn't supposed to be there and she knew it, but she couldn't let him die and hospitals wouldn't take him. So she was doing the wrong thing but for the right reasons. She wondered what he looked like and how easy it would be to find- 'no you just gonna heal him and then send him on his way' she thought to herself.

He started to move so Raven took a step back just incase he tried something. He woke up and sat up quick. He jumped to his feet. He saw a dark figure a few feet away from him so his fingers pressed a button on his belt and he was soon behind Raven. Red X couldn't tell it was Rae because it was so dark in the unfamiliar room. X wrapped his arm around her neck. "Where am I?" he demanded. "Keep it down, the others will here you. If you're caught in here you and me are dead."

He recognized that voice. His eyes grew slightly larger and he gently pushed her away, still confused. "Why am I here?" he asked with a soft voice. "I healed you. I believe a thank you is in order." Rea said in a sarcastic voice. "Do the others know I'm here?" "No. Otherwise you'd be in jail right now." "Why did you help me?" He asked, extremely confused as to why she would help HIM of all people. "I couldn't just let you die," she replied in a simple tone. He stared at her or at least as much as he could see of her in the dark. "I have to go?" He said and climbed out her window second later.

She watched as he disappeared into the night. "Just to prove to you people are ungrateful." She said to herself as she walked out her room. She walked toward the living room to join the others.

Red X

I don't understand. X thought to himself. Why didn't she hand me over to the police? Or at least to Robin to interrogate. Could she actually care for…no! Its foolish to think that. He wanted to stay with her…to be near…wait… he shouldn't be thinking like this. Not about her. He should hate her. He just couldn't bring himself to. He needed her…to smell her unique sent.

X fought with himself for hours trying to deny what he felt. He wasn't supposed to not care for anyone but himself. But in the end there was no denying his lust for Raven, the quite and mysterious girl that every guy wanted. He had to see her again.
