Chapter 6:
He wrapped his hand around her waist after he bound her wrists together. Lightly, he knew her cuts hadn't healed yet. He glanced down at her, stiff and ready to act if he tried anything false. He wondered why she was playing along.
"Ready, babe?" She scowled at him but said nothing. He took it for a yes and, holding her to him, moved quickly from building to building, until they reached the last building closest to the tower, he jumped, and she knew they wouldn't make it. She held back a scream and closed her eyes, and heard a distant click sound. When she reopened her eyes her feet touched the roof of Titans Tower, and her hands unbound, the figure of a certain micheivous villain in the distance,sprinting from roof to roof. Her right hand involuntarily reached towards the small dot, hesitantly. Then she dropped it. Turning, she decided it was time to go inside.
Her friends were frantic with worry. She was hiding behind the walls watching them.
Robin paced back and forth, wearing away the carpet laid on the floor. Starfire was fidgeting, sitting at the table, fingers twiddling away the time. Cyborg was furiously smashing his fingers against the keyboard of the main frame, trying to track down Raven any way he could, muttering curses into the dense air. Beast Boy was tossing her communicator up and down, every time he caught it he'd hold it for a little bit, then throw it up again, as if it was a part of Raven he wanted to keep and remember. She hesitated for a few moments, basking herself in the glory of being the concern of the team. Then she reprimanded herself for being selfish, and stepped out to the brightness of the room.
"Friend Raven!" In a flash of light she could feel the bones encased with her gray flesh was crumbling under the alien's fierce embrace. She struggled valiantly, face draining of all blood that was ever left in her. Cyborg pulled the alien back, and brought Raven into another bear hug, less painful than that of Starfire's. She stiffened slightly, but didn't draw back. He studied her, hands on her shoulders.
"What did he do to you? You're back in one piece." He scrutinized, eyes narrowed in slight anger and slight relief. Green eyes of an abnormally green cat twinkled at her return. A green glove brought everything back tothe serious scene.
"So you're okay,but what about him? What did he want? Why did hetake you? How..." Raven cut himoff with a swift glare and gathered her cloak around herself, and cleared her throat.
"Nothing happened. He didn't attackme, nor did he say anything about our team. Every second that went by was insignificant and a waste of an hour of my life."She turnedaround, facing the door, herfastest exit.
"Thank you for worrying aboutme, butthere's nothing to worry about." Then her feet began to move, the doors slid open5seconds before shepassed under the doorsill, and headed towards her room. With a relieved sigh she reached her room, and she quickly assumedmeditative poseas soon as she was in. She was expecting someone in hermind, someone who wasn't there before.
"Well Raven, welcome back." The brown cloaked version of Raven smiled warmly and offered an embrace. Raven flinchedslightly and politely refused it.
"Nice to see you again, Comfort." The otheremotions gathered around. Wisdom's eyes sparkled with joy, soon everything would be back in order. Lustsmirked constantly, as if sheknew a secret nobody else knew. Sarcasm was drawingincomprehensible pictures on the ground with a branch she'd picked off the ground.
"So.Ihave toput up withX until everyone is back." Raven stated to herself.The others, obviously hearing, nodded.
"This is working out rather well.Just a bit more time with X and everyone may be back." Wisdom sighed with relief. Raven shrugged and quickly left as she had come.
"You know the plan could backfire on both of them.She might actually start to like him. For real." Sarcasm's left eyebrow shot up,and Lust rolled her eyes.
"We'll just have to risk that. For the sake of all ofus."Wisdom stated as-a-matter-of-factly.
Whoa dang.
