Hey everyone! I'm back!! And here's the start of a new mini-story! I based this chapter off a sentence by The-New-Nightingale. This one is based off of "Savior". Check out "Inspired" though and read all of her sentences. They're awesome. :D

Disclaimer: I do not own Teen Titans. Neither do I own the general idea of this mini-story. That goes to The-New-Nightingale.

Title: I'll Love You...Always

Pairings: RedxRaexRob (Love triangle:3)

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Raven stared at Red X, lying peacefully on the hospital bed. "Why," she asked no one in particular. "Why did this happen?" Raven thought back to how this all started…

Flashback

"Azarath Metrion Zinthos!" Black magic encased the nearby light post and twisted to wrap up the thieves in restraints.

"Good work Raven." Robin commented with a soft smile.

"Yeah, whatever." Raven responded as she pulled her hood up to hide her face. She felt strange whenever faced with Robin. Lately, he had been acting…weird around her.

"Raven, look out!" Robin screamed.

Raven only had time to turn and see the thief they missed point a gun at her and fire. The next thing happened so fast, she wasn't sure what had happened. But she knew for sure that she never felt the bullet make contact with her. Instead, she was splattered with blood as a body fell into her arms. Her violet eyes were widened in horror as she took in the black suit strained with red. "X?"

"Ra-Raven…" a strained voice said as X turned to face her. He wasn't wearing his mask and Raven could clearly see the pain in his green eyes.

"Oh Azar, X!" Finally snapping out of her trance she quickly tore off her cloak and tired to soak the blood up.

"Raven! What are you doing!?" Robin screamed with anger, first disarming and knocking out the last thief before he stormed up to Raven and Red X. He grabbed Red X by the suit and pulled him up to eye level. "What the hell are you doing X?! Are you planning something!"

Red X grunted, trying hard to hold back a scream of pain.

"Robin!" Raven screamed with rage. "Let go of him! You're making him bleed more!" Lights and windows shattered as Raven's emotions flew around in panic in her head.

Rage was seething with fury as she screamed, trying hard to overcome Raven and kill every last human being on the face of the planet. Courage was pissed off as she started to break everything in her path in Raven's mind. Courage's mind was set on revenge and she would stop at nothing until she got it. Intelligence was trying to be the calm, collected one of the emotions although she too was shaken up by the events. Love was moaning in agony over the thought of losing X. Happy was actually crying with Sadness. Fear and Timid were muttering their own thoughts to themselves. Rude was on a cursing rampage as she cursed every person that came to mind.

"Robin! STOP!" Raven yelled one more time, surprising herself by retracting her fist and pushing it forward with force. Robin let go of X as he touched his red cheek, shocked. X fell into Raven's arms. Raven checked his injury. It was beyond her abilities of healing and she doubted she could heal properly with her emotions going crazy. X needed a doctor, and fast.

"Raven! That's Red X! He's a criminal!" Robin screeched.

"If you haven't noticed yet, Robin, he's injured." Raven spat his name like it was poison in her mouth. She placed X's arm around her neck, holding it in place, as her other arm went around his waist to steady him. She hoisted him up and started to walk to the T-car, but Robin blocked her way. Raven glared at Robin, her eyes flashing dangerously, "Move."

Robin shook his head, "I'm not letting that thief anywhere near the tower!"

"Who said we were going to the tower?" Raven snapped. "We need a doctor! Now get out of the way!" Raven kicked Robin out of her way and opened the door, helping X in.

"Cyborg!" Raven called, looking around for her robotic friend. She turned as her arm was grabbed.

"I'm not letting you help him Raven!" Damn Robin was persistent.

"Robin," Robin could feel his body tense at Raven's cold tone. "If X dies I will blame you and hate you for eternity." Robin grew wide-eyed and Raven shook loose of his grip as her cybernetic friend came running up.

"What do you need Rae?" Cyborg's eyes moved to his car's direction and widened. "What the hell?!"

"I need to get him to a doctor's Cyborg. Quick. Now lend me your keys."

"But…my baby!"

"Cyborg," Raven growled. Cyborg reluctantly handed her the keys and watched as Raven climbed in, slammed the door, and speed off like a bat out of hell.

"What the hell was X doing in my car?" Cyborg asked as he turned to his leader, who still was staring after the car with a dumbfounded look on his face.

"X took a bullet for Raven." Robin muttered. Cyborg's eyes grew surprised and he wondered why X would do so…

-------------------------------

Raven looked at the thief beside her. X…she thought sadly. You stupid fool…tears stung her eyes as she tried to see the road clearly. Red X was still breathing, but heavily, next to her with his eyes closed. He had become unconscious from the lack of blood something during the fight between her and Robin. Although Raven had made a make-shift bandage to stop the bleeding Raven still looked like he was in pain.

Why the hell did you jump in front of that bullet? Why the hell did you save me? She wanted to ask these questions but knew she'd get no answer. She screeched to a stop in front of the hospital and quickly carried Red X in. "I need a doctor here! Pronto!" Raven yelled as she walked into the hospital.

The nurses and doctors were shocked upon seeing a Titan carrying a thief but quickly ran to her. "What'd the matter with him?" one doctor asked.

"He got shot." Raven answered as a nurse came running with a gurney. Raven answered all of the doctor's questions as they quickly wheeled Red X to the operating room.

"Alright, we'll see what we can do." the doctor said to Raven as he went into the operating room to leave Raven waiting anxiously outside. She would insist to be in there with the doctors but she didn't want to be a bother.

Raven trusted the doctors to actually help. Like her, they too saved lives no matter the person's background. They wouldn't let Red X die for all he did was steal, not kill.

Raven leaned against a wall as she thought about her lover in that operating room. She looked up at the ceiling sadly. Blinking to stop the tears from coming to her eyes, You should have just let me die X, because I can't live without you…

----------------------

Raven looked up as the doctor stepped out of the operating room, pulling off a pair of bloody gloves and throwing them away. He had a grim look on his face. Raven could feel the anxiety bubble up inside of her as she asked, "Is he okay?"

The doctor paused, wondering how he should tell her. "We…we were able to remove the bullet but he lost too much blood."

"But that's okay right? I mean, can't you give him a blood transfusion?" Raven asked, trying to deny what creeping thoughts came to her.

The doctor frowned, "Yes, we actually tried but for some reason his body rejected it. We suspect it might be some new kind of blood disease, but we're not sure."

"So…you mean…" Raven trailed off, not wanting to finish such a dangerous sentence.

The doctor nodded gravely, "I'm afraid he only has a couple hours."

"Can…can I see him?" Raven managed to get out. She didn't want to break down in front of the doctors and public. Come on, Raven, keep it together.

The doctor nodded and led her to a room. X was lying on a bed, his face peaceful like he was only sleeping. The doctor left to give Raven and him some privacy.

Raven approached the bed hesitantly and then sat down on a chair next to it. "X…" she whispered, stroking his cheek with the tips of her fingers.

"Raven," he called out softly.

"Yes," she quickly said. "I'm here."

Red X turned his head slightly to look at her face. Raven stared into green pools of happiness as he smiled at her. She could feel the tears at the corners of her eyes, threatening to spill. Red X placed a hand on her cheek and Raven placed her hand on his, keeping it there. She couldn't help herself, she cried.

"Why are you crying, love?" X asked, moving to wipe her tears away.

"Because…because I'm going to loose you X." Raven had been tired of holding up the emotionless, clam exterior but didn't know how to lose it. It was X who taught her how to feel…how to love. She couldn't live without him. He was her everything. "What am I going to do without you?" Raven babbled, "How will I survive? I can't bear to lose you X, you're too important to me. If you die I can't-"

"Raven, Raven, ssshh," X tried to calm her down. He grabbed her face to force her to stare at him. "Raven, listen to me, you will not lose me. I will always be with you, no matter what."

"Do you promise?" Raven asked, wiping the tears away. As corny as everything sounded, she didn't care. Raven wanted to know.

"I promise," X whispered, sealing it with a kiss. The rest of the time they shared fond memories with each other. At the last memory they shared of each other, X chuckled and closed his eyes, lying back on the pillow.

"Raven, do you promise to love me forever?" X suddenly asked out of the blue. Raven looked at him, surprised. She looked at her feet, thinking about it. When she finally came up with an answer she looked up at X. She opened her mouth to answer but was suddenly interrupted by the abrupt BEEP of the heart rate machine connected to X.

"X," she said, not believing her ears and eyes. "X."

She stood up, this time shaking him, "X! X! X!" But no matter what it was a failed attempt. He would never wake again. Never…

End of Flashback

And that is how she ended sitting there, next to X's hospital bed. The heart rate machine was still beeping as a flat line and Raven hadn't bothered to call the doctors, although she suspected they knew but didn't want to bother her.

He jumped in front of a bullet to save her…

"X," she whispered, hoping he could still hear her. "I promise to love you forever. Always." She then leaned forward and sealed the promise with a kiss.

"Raven," Raven turned towards the door to see Robin standing there. His masked eyes were narrowed and she knew he was glaring at her. "We need to talk."

And ironically that was what killed her.

(A/N: Okay, I ripped that sentence format off of Poison's Ivy, so give the credit to Ivy cuz her story was the one that gave me the idea to do it that way after I couldn't fit the sentence in the story anywhere.)

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Yeah!! I'm glad I finally got that finished! I think I'll enjoy this story a lot. :) Although X died in the first part chokes on tears he is not gone! You will see him in the future! This will not be another depressing story! Okay, that's a lie, I will make it slightly depressing but it will have a happy ending…maybe. You'll have to read to find out. :)

Ciao,
