Chap. 7

Raven was still thinking when she heard Jason's voice. "Well I have to go." He whispered in her ear as to not interrupt the others conversations. "Why?" she asked snapping out of her trance. "I have to go to…work." A grin fell over face. "See you in a few then." He returned her smile and rose to his feet. "Bye guys." He said. They all either waved or said bye.

After he left Raven went to her room to clear her head. Because of Red X her emotions were all mixed up. Confusion, fear, and a dash of desire were all screwed up the most. As she began to meditate there was a knock on her door. "Who is it?" she asked in an annoyed voice. "Can I come in?" a familiar voice came through the door. It was Robin. She opened the door with her powers just enough for him to fit through.

"Meditating huh?" he asked. He was stating the obvious to clearly avoid the real reason he came to her room. She gave him a get to the point look. He sighed and sat next to where she was levitating. "Raven...do you really…like that guy?" he said nervously. "Who Jason?" she asked dumbfounded. "No Beastboy." he said sarcastically. "Who else," he began again. "Well he's sweet, funny, caring." she said to name a few things about him.

Oddly she was telling the truth. He did act that way, at least toward her. Red X or not he wasn't a bad guy. "I guess I like him." she said finally coming to terms in her mind to let him in. "But…I mean…isn't he a bit reckless for you?" She just smiled. "Robin you don't have to worry about me. I can take care of myself. I know you think it's your duty as a friend to but you don't have to."

He cringed at the words she had chosen to refer to him as. 'Friend'. He didn't want to be her friend. He wanted to be more. Much more. He had always felt that way about her but could never express it because of Star. But he didn't want her running off with some punk. He grabbed her hand. "Raven I-"

He was cut short by the alarm going off. They ran to the main room to join the others. "What is it?" Robin asked while running up next to Cyborge. "Red X." As soon as he said that Robin was out the door with both teams trailing behind him.

At the Bank

X got the rest of the bags out of the volt. He grinned as he heard Robin's firm voice behind him. He turned around to face not only the Titans but the Titans East as well. "Aww. You brought the whole family. How sweet." he said through his computer enhanced voice. Robin just dashed toward him in a series of kicks and punches. Jason dodged them all and kneed the boy wonder in the stomach his first chance.

Mas y Menos speed around Red X as to knock him off guard. X just stuck out his foot causing the two to spiral out of control and slam into a wall a few feet in front of them. They were out cold. Before he could bask in his glory, he had all the other titans on his back. Star bolts coming from one direction and water from another.

Attacks were all over the place, including Raven's. He wasn't mad at her for it. Neither Red X nor Raven could hold back on each other. It would raise too much suspicion in the others. He stepped on BB's dog tail causing him to yelp. Red X swung forward and knocked him out. Terra caught sight of this and lost it. Little did she know she was about to attack a guy she was just obsessed over a few hours ago. He dogged the rocks she threw his way and soon took her down too.

As much as Red X would deny it if ever asked, he didn't like beating up the titans anymore. He had actually come to like them. At least most of them. All except Robin. There was just something about him that made Jason just want to punch him dead in the face.

Cyborge shot a beam at him and Red X just dodged it without a return attack. Many other attacks flew his way. He dodged then all but didn't swing his fist once. He caught sight of Raven and through a flash bang to distract the others. Raven, surprised herself, stumbled back and fell against a warm sensation.

She turned to see a built figure dressed in all black. "I can't do this." the figure whispered to her. "Do what?" she asked, regaining her sight although the room was still bright. "Fight." He whispered softly.

With that he was gone, a long with all the money. When all the titans regained their composure they headed back to the tower, once again beaten.

Red X's Hide Out

Raven knocked on the old shacks door softly. She snuck out after reassuring all the titans were ok. She heard a soft rustle inside the small place. The door opened slightly. "What?" asked the young man from the door way. "Can I come in?" she said softly. He just opened the door wider to let her in.

She made her way to a sofa a few feet away. She sat and turned to him. He was leaning against the now shut door. "What happened back there?" she asked, her eyes never leaving his face. "I don't know." he said, getting off the door and making his way to sit next her. He sat and stared deeply into her violet orbs. "What do you mean?" she asked. "I don't know," he began again, "It was like every time I hit one of them, instead of feeling happy or like I won, I just felt guilty." He turned away in shame. After all he was supposed to be a rock hard, heartless theft.

"It's nice to know your human," she said with a little chuckle trying to lighten the mood. He looked at her in confusion. Since when did she make jokes and actually laugh at them. "Why are you doing this Raven?" he asked in a puppy dog tone. She stopped laughing and looked over at him once again. She looked at the ceiling, as she did when she thought, and then looked back at him.

Raven shrugged. "I guess you kinda grow on a girl." She gave him a warm smile and he returned it. He stared at her and a swift, strong urge fell over him. Jason moved closer to Raven until he could feel her soothing breath on his chin.

He leaned in, in one quick motion. Raven jerked back so that their lips didn't make contact. "I can't." she whispered. He moved his head away just enough so he could look her square in the eye. He gave her a pleading look, one of desperation and desire. "I want to, really, but…I can't." She rose to her feet and headed to the door. "I sorry," she said softly and then left the broken down shack. He sighed, flinging his head back onto the couch, and then fell asleep.

At the Tower

Raven snuck back into the tower with no problem. She was now in her room on her bed trying to sleep. But she just tossed and turned, tracing her lips over and over. His warm soothing breath was forever engraved in her lips. Before she knew it, it was dawn. She rose from her bed and decided to make some tea.
