Why, why did she feel that pain in her mind, telling her that trusting this 'Red X' was wrong? She knew it was her conscience telling her these painful things, and she knew to trust it. After all, she was never wrong, so she must've been right about Red X: he wasn't such a bad guy, but she was missing something.
Why was there a block in her memory? Why couldn't she remember who the Titans were if they fought often? Why?
Shouldn't she at least have a flashback when seeing their faces?
Raven looked to her side, as if the memory was in front of her, and she refused to stare at it. Sitting down on "her" bed, Indian Style, she shifted (for the third time in the last hour) her legs, and laid her head down on the soft pillows, she unconsciously preferred a soft yet ridged feeling, probably from before she lost her memory, and thought about the flashback she had… during her "conversation" (more like interrogating) with Starfire.
It would provide an excellent reason as to why she spaced out when Starfire was talking about her…
That, or it could be out of annoyance that Raven was sure was emitting off of her, and Starfire didn't notice. She never did notice when Raven was annoyed at her, or didn't want to taste her retched foods (she never said that though, it was too harsh for the naïve girl to hear), or never understood the Raven didn't like shopping, so she would never go shopping with her…
The half-demon froze.
'How did I know that?'
Raven breathed deeply, and told herself not to worry about it. It was probably a memory from before she paired up with Red X. Yea that was it.
'Since it's nothing to worry about…'
'It nothing to worry about.' She repeated in her mind, making sure it was implanted in her memory.
Why did she have a vague feeling she was wrong?

"Any sign of her?" the persistent voice asked.
Cyborg grunted in frustration, stopping his typing on the main computer of Titans Tower, and just stared at the screen while reply to his impatient teammate. "Can you please stop asking that question? It's the fifth time you did man." Robin merely huffed.
"Raven is missing! The last time anyone of us saw her was during her meeting with Starfire –"
"And Raven tricked Star with that whole 'test' shit! Raven obviously doesn't know who she is, and asked Starfire to fill her in about her powers! Robin, don't you get it?"
"All I get is that she's missing, and we have to find her!"
"I care for her too man! You're not the only one!"
"You're clearly not looking for her hard enough!"
"It's not easy! Raven has a different energy signal than the rest of us, considering she's only half-human!" Cyborg stated, trying to keep his cool, and resisting the urge to break Bird boy's skull so his ego would deflate.
"Are you implying that you don't think Raven doesn't deserve to be found?" Robin replied in a grim voice.
"Where did you get that from –"
"Friends! We must not fight. It is important we find our missing friend." Trying to stop the madness, Starfire (hesitantly) walked between the two before they decided to rip each other limb from limb. Placing each hand on both boys' chests, she screamed when they continued to ignore her, thinking Starfire was merely an obstacle in their path of rage.
"STOP!"
Somehow, even though her voice echoed throughout the tower, and Titans East could probably hear her as well as Robin and Cyborg should considering their close range, the two immediately pretended not to hear (evidently wanting a death wish from the naïve, yet physically powerful Tameranian girl), and continued to yell at each other.
Beast Boy, (who morphed into a fly and was currently hiding underneath a box in the basement), sighed in disappointment, hoping they could find the peacemaker (when she was talking) in the group soon.

Raven, who was clad in a pair of blue jeans, and a black tank top with a cropped jean jacket, was meditating, thankfully the innocent (and a bit stupid, Raven wouldn't admit it out loud, unfortunately knowing the alien's reaction to it) girl had informed her of the necessity behind it.
Even though she wouldn't admit it out loud, (and wouldn't even if it meant the end of the world suffering a painful demise), she felt weak without her memories, and a bit filthy for having to depend on another girl for her own powers.
To conclude her little thoughts, having no memories sucked.
Need she say that?
Hearing a knock on her door (and adding a vein to her forehead) Raven stood up from her meditating position in order to open her locked door. It didn't' matter if Red X was basically the only other person in the house; she still didn't trust the situation. It was as simple as that.
Opening the wooden door, only to find (what a surprise) Red X (wow, she didn't see that one coming), she raised an eyebrow at his pose, just leaning back innocently as if he performed no devious acts.
Ha, as if.
"Hey beauty."
She rolled her eyes at his nonsense. Apparently, he liked calling her beauty whenever she wore citizen clothing, for he said (and I quote): "You don't like showing your… features, which annoys me (and apparently, it annoyed Raven too), and you look cute in civilized clothing."
She resisted the urge to slap the cocky smirk that she knew was under that mask, for he was the only other one she thought she might be able to trust.
Keyword: might.
That was why she tried avoiding him as much as humanly possible whenever she wore "normal" clothing, instead of her uniform, merely because she liked the feeling of civilized clothes, and not spandex or some other aggravating, itching fabric. And since it annoyed X because she always wore modest clothing, she never wore anything too revealing. She never liked another man's eyes on her body.
But it was just plain fun (she never used the "f" word), because she knew he wasn't too much of a pervert.
She knew she was making a small joke.
"Yes bastard?" she said in a light tone. The two of them always called each other nicknames to irritate the other. He called her beauty; she called him bastard.
An eye for an eye.
"I hope you have a wonderful excuse as to why you're interrupting my meditation time, and let me just tell you that I have regained much control over my powers." She stated, her voice showed that she was serious, but not too much.
"Oh yea! I do!" Red X exclaimed, walking into her room (an act she despised, but the last time she tried pulling him out landed them in a… comforting position.)
'Comforting my ass.' She thought, removing the thoughts from her mind in order not to remember the embarrassing situation (Which of course boosted up Red X's ego, much to her displeasure.)
"Ya know, the last time I was in here… I enjoyed our time together!" Red X said with his robotic voice, (she wished she could remove that shitty mask in order not to hear the annoying voice.), but Raven inwardly groaned, and on the outside, she felt her mouth moving into a grim line, and she could hear his chuckling at her behavior.
"Say it and I'll cut your guts up faster than you can say –"
"Really Raven!" He said, interrupting, "Is that the best you can do, my little half-demon?" Red X knew he got to her, whenever he called her his, she exploded.
But, amazingly, she kept her cool, giving him a fatal death glare, but in a grim voice, she said, "How 'bout I just cut off your testicles and force feed it to you!"
Red X raised an eyebrow at the girl who kept her fists curled so tight, her nails were piercing through her skin, bringing out a little blood. "So you want to see my testicles?" He replied with a grin.
That was the last straw.
Red X… wasn't feeling so well after their spar.

Just a little "Red X-Rae" I warned you about. If you don't like it, tough. Don't worry; this is RobRae all the way (I hate rhyming sometimes), but there has to be problems.
Please review, or I won't update.
