So like, This is the length I'm talking about.
It may turn into 1 per every two days if I try and repeat this length.
Causexofxmayhem – I love your reviews, chapter by chapter you review and I love it. In return, I'm trying to accelerate what you want to happen to happen earlier.
After all, I am pretty much making this up as I go along.
--START – 4 days later, Inside Raven's mind--
Raven, after days without any sign from Starfire and no signs of sorting out her emotions on her own, left for her room one day after a very depressing dinner with a very dismally unhappy team, and picked up her mirror.
(Dialogue)
Raven: Ok, guys. Red X. What do we think of this guy?
Logic: you're attracted to him, at the very least.
Curiosity: I like him, too.
Bravery: You should have sex with him, just in case, and then PUT HIM IN JAIL FOR BEING A CRIMINAL.
Happy: I'm not sure… we've been perfectly fine with Beast Boy.
Lust: I think we should meet this Red X man. He's dominant. Very dominant. I like it.
Skepticism: I don't know. Maybe it's all an act that he puts on.
Raven: So, 4 to 2 so far in favor…
Logic: majority rules.
Curiosity: Ooooh! I'm excited now. We get to act on it, then?
Humor: No, shut up curiosity, stop killing cats.
Logic: …
Happy: …
Curiosity: …
Lust: …
Realism: So that's why we're not funny.
Humor: You'd be a crappy trait too if Raven never paid any attention to you!
Raven: Oh, shit! Guys, we're forgetting something. What about Starfire?
Logic: We can solve that problem, if it doesn't solve itself.
Raven: Why is she a problem?
Curiosity: She's pissing me off, that's why.
Lust: Maybe when she comes back we could ask her about him. You know, how he performs.
Curiosity: YEAH! That's a great idea, Lust. You should switch with ingenuity. She's boring as hell anyway.
Ingenuity: I'm off duty, bitch.
Raven: We're getting off topic.
ADD: My bad.
Skepticism: I still think you're just a device to sell Ritalin.
ADD: Yeah? Well you don't exist either, so there.
Raven: GUYS!
--Outside Raven's mind --
Raven, feeling relatively unsuccessful in sorting out her feelings, as usual, picked up a book and began to read. This was one of her many ways to pass time while not on missions, and she enjoyed it. Sometimes she got a little carried away… That incident with Malchior… but reading kept her busy and sharp on her spellwork.
Then, she heard a knock on her window, and as she turned to see who it was, she jumped. It was Starfire. She looked tired. Bags were formed under her eyes, and a weak smile played across her face. She knocked again, hoping for Raven to let her in. Raven walked over and opened her window. "Starfire…"
But Starfire cut her off. "Raven, I am feeling the fatigue very much so. I wish to sleep, and I will explain everything." With pleading eyes, Starfire asked for Raven's aid. Seeing an opportunity to talk to her without disturbance, Raven let Starfire use her bed, and sat in a recliner and picked up her mirror.
--Back inside Raven's mind--
Raven: So, what should we do?
Logic: We should talk to her about X, of course.
Curiosity: Yeah yeah, really. I'm getting impatient.
Lust: One step closer to my goal.
Raven: We're pretty much in agreement, then?
Logic: Well, duh.
--Outside Raven's mind--
The wait was tough, but it gave Raven a chance to organize how she was going to approach After a couple of hours, Raven woke Starfire and sat on the bed. "Ok, Star, as much as I hate to be all touchy-feely, I think you should tell me what happened." Raven said, trying to act empathetic. Starfire smiled at her sleepily, and lay back, sighing.
"Friend Raven, I do not know exactly what made me want to keep the Red X a secret from you. I also am not sure why it is I felt the way I did…" Starfire paused, trying to find what to say. "But when he kissed me… I could not hold myself from enjoying it. I had been waiting for it, friend Raven…" she paused again, reminiscing. "I was feeling the curious, you would say?" Raven held back a grin. Curiosity was a big fan of X, and Raven was never a believer in coincidence. "And when he let me go, I could not stand the reactions of our friends, they were so upset…" she frowned. "Where else could I go, but with him?" she offered, trying to make excuses. Raven put a hand on her shoulder.
"Starfire, you don't have to explain yourself to me." Raven said, trying her very best to act friendly. It hurt her inside. Deftly changing subjects, Raven scooted closer to her alien friend. "Star, between you and me, what exactly did you do during the time you were gone?" She asked, hinting at the girl. Starfire bit her lower lip, and sat up, preparing to spill the beans, as it were. "It was wonderful, Raven! I had never before felt the things he made me feel before those days."
Raven, asking for clarification, was afterwards assaulted with graphic descriptions of maneuvers that varied from sounding far-fetched to just plain dangerous. Crossing the line of "Too much information" was no longer an option, as Starfire illustrated, in words, precarious-sounding positions and strange techniques that, Raven assumed, Skepticism would have an absolute ball with.
Immediately following this talk, Starfire's joy faltered as she was obviously dreading the explanation she would have to give to the rest of the team. Raven, who was faking empathy for her own means, understood why Starfire wasn't psyched about it.
Then, out of a far corner of Raven's mind, she had an idea that would honestly help the girl out and save the Titans Tower from days of arguing and general discontent.
"Star, why don't you just show Robin some of the tricks you've learned? From the sound of them, I'm not sure how he could possibly protest very effectively." Raven was surprised at her own helpfulness. Starfire was positively giddy at the aspect of not having to face a fight with her team, and it showed.
"Oh, Friend Raven, thank you so much!!" She threw her arms around the reluctant sorceress, and flew out of the room foolhardily, as was classic Starfire manner. Raven quickly went to her mirror.
--Raven's head--
Curiosity: Yay! I was right!
Lust: If I have to wait one more night…
Logic: No wonder the girl looked so tired. What was that she said about 10 hours? Who even needs to have sex for 10 hours?
Lust: Do you know who I am?
Logic: People can't have sex with Raven's impulses, lust.
Lust: Damn. You got me.
Logic: I'm pretty sure I just created a paradox.
Skepticism: I doubt that.
Humor: Lust doesn't want a paradox, she wants a paraDIX!! Hahaha!!
Raven: what does that even mean?
Humor: you know, paradix, pair o' dicks? Two dicks?
Raven: …That's vile, humor.
Humor: Why the hell do I even exist?
Focus: C'mon, guys.
ADD: Shut up, focus!
Raven: Wait, no, she's right. We need to concentrate on what we do now.
Logic: Oh, fuck. We should have asked her where X is.
Social prowess: Like, no. If she left and like, went and partied with Red X, the team would have TOTALLY known because like, you would have asked her about him.
Raven: Who are you?
Social prowess: I barely ever get to say anything, because like, you're totally antisocial. You usually ignore me.
Logic: That makes sense.
Raven: So, we should wait until he shows himself?
Lust: FUCK THAT!
Logic: we really have no choice.
Lust: Goddamn.
Knock Knock Knock
Raven: Someone's at the door.
--Outside Raven's mind--
Raven got up and walked over to the door. Opening it, she peered outside into the hallway. No one was there. "Hello?" she called out. No one answered. She heard the knocking again, and swerved around only to find Red X hanging outside her window by a rope tied around his waist. Raven's heart skipped a beat and blushing, she went over to the window. She made a motion to open the window, but he stopped her, and simply took out a sheet of paper and stuck it to her window. It was a note.
As he jumped out and cut the rope, he pressed a button on his belt and disappeared into the night.
On the paper was simply a time and place.
8:00
HERE
Even without the aid of her enchanted mirror, Raven knew that Lust was crying out in glee.
--END--
Wow that was pleasing. And longer, as promised. SO, CAUSEXOFXMAYHEM, HOW BOUT THEM APPLES? I'm such a bitch for giving into you. Even thought it was kinda the way I was going.
