Chapter 5: Call It Dark, I Call It Home

"Titans. Trouble." His voice was raw. He didn't really feel like fighting. As long as Raven was there, they couldn't lose. But why did he need Raven just to win? He felt so weak.

"Who is it now?" Beast Boy whined, he didn't get he beauty sleep time covered, the bags under his eyes heavily exaggerated.

"Red X." Raven's voice was curt. With tired hearts the titans fled the tower they called home.


"Where is he?" Robin muttered. Cyborg turned on his lights, and Starfire lighted up her hands. Beast Boy morphed into a cat, their night vision was considerably better than human sight.

Raven gasped aloud when a warm hand snaked around her waist. A voice whispered softly into her ear.

"Hey babe. Missed me?" A pair of lips involuntarily kissed the tip of her ear. A shiver of lust shook her, and she mentally smacked a specific magenta-hooded emotion within. He held her tighter and held a knife to her throat, and brought themselves out into the open.

"So. The Titans. How's life?" Robin was at loss for words, and the rest of the team fidgeted nervously, not completely sure what to do.

"Jesus. Man let her go!" Cyborg's voice was coated with brotherly warning. Beast Boy crawled towards the villain, a low growl rumbling in the back of his throat.

"Now now kids. I just came to say that I'm borrowing the chick for a night. I'll bring her back safely, don't worry." He tore her communicator of and threw it towards the rest of the team.

"Hasta la vista baby." There was smoke, then there was nothing.

"RAVEN!"


"Let me go!" She struggled, but he had her in his grip, and somehow her powers were useless against him. She couldn't see, her eyes were blindfolded, but she knew she was outside somewhere. Somewhere.

Suddenly they stopped, and he let her go. She tore off the cloth around her eyes and was about to tear the head off the teen villain, but her eyes caught sight of where she was. He smiled softly at her, and laughed.

"Oh...wow..." They were on the roof of the tallest building of the city, even higher than the Titan's Tower. She could see the big T to the left of her, the harbor was reflecting the light of the moon, like sapphire diamonds ripe for the picking. The view was amazing, lights twinkling in the darkness, as though the whole earth was a mirror, and it was the reflection of the night sky above.

He bowed deeply and held out a simple rose, so rich and deep purple it looked black.

"For you, my lady." She unconsciously accepted it, and marveled at its beauty. She saw a deep brownish color explode in front of her eyes, and then it was gone. She looked up at him.

"Why are you doing this?" He sat down at the end of the building and pretended not to listen. She crouched down next to him, and kept on staring at him, until he finally turned towards her.

"Look babe, I know I'm hot, but the view is much more interesting." Her eye humorously twitched and he laughed, placing an arm around her shoulders and staring out at the view. She stiffened at the touch, but remember the advice, she did nothing. Besides, it didn't feel too bad.

This...this isn't too horrible...

She stayed as still as she could and just meditated upon the beauty of the night, the darkness that drew her in, the only thing that truly understood her.
