kitcool- Thanks for the review!
cheetahluv16- Thanks! I'm glad you like Mikako...her character is hard to write!
Raven and Robin teleported into the living room, where they found the rest of the team waiting. Cyborg just put the building under lock down. "We had one blast toward us but in narrowly missed the tower."
Mikako frowned, "I want to help."
"You can't help," Raven said harshly. She remembered ten seconds later that she was trying to be nice, so she added a "yet" to the end of the sentence.
Several explosions were heard around the tower. Cyborg was firing back from the computers until suddenly the only sound left was Robin's foot tapping impatiently. All firing had stopped. Cyborg checked the security camera's before lifting the lockdown.
Mikako laughed, "That wasn't so bad." Raven looked over to Robin, wondering if the attack was really over or if it was just a cleaver trick to make them lower their guard. The team lingered about the main room for a few hours before deciding it was really over. Cyborg was the first to leave the room, his battery was running low and he need to recharge. Beast Boy looked around at everyone else in the room before announcing that he was going to bed. Mikako looked over at the kitchen timer, "Wow! It's one in the morning already!"
"I'll get up to bed too then," Robin said yawning. Starfire said goodnight to everyone as well. Raven left Mikako a blanket and pillow for the couch. Raven walked to the doorway and found Mikako was asleep before she even left the room.
Raven's head hardly hit the pillow when she fell asleep. She sleep was dreamless and she woke up to find the sunlight just entering her window. Her gothic styled roman numeral clock told her it was a little after eight in the morning. Raven rolled over in her bed and wrapped her sheets around her. She was probably the only person in the city that was actually cold on this summer morning, but she was cold none the less. She waited a few minutes before deciding that she could not fall back asleep, even if she tried. She turned horizontal on her bed, letting her feet feel along the cold ground for her boots. Once her shoes were back on, Raven sat up and stretched. She was not going to enjoy today, she could feel it. She crossed the hall to the bathroom. Turning on the shower water. Usually, she used cold water in the morning to wake her up, and warm water in the evenings to wind her down, but as her hand ran through the cold water she shivered and changed her mind quickly, turning the water to hot.
She stepped in, ignoring the fact that the water was burning her skin. She did not mind, she was just glad it was warming her up. Raven liked to keep her showers short. She just washed her hair quickly and turned off the water. This was the part she dreaded. Her hand lingered over the shower door, knowing that once she opened it, the cold air would rush into the shower. In one swift motion, she opened the door and grabbed the towel, wrapping it around herself. Her haste did not stop her skin from feeling the cold air. She shivered again as she changed into fresh clothes.
She dried the floor before stepping out the bathroom, only to bump into Robin, who swiftly caught her before she fell back, "You okay?" Robin asked with smirk.
"Fine," Raven said, pulling herself free of his grip.
"What's wrong?" Robin said, holding her arm firmly.
"Nothing, will you let go of me before I blast you?" Raven responded, trying to push him off.
"Raven..."
"Robin, you have three seconds to let me go," Raven said firmly.
"Is this because I kissed you yesterday?" Robin asked.
"Obviously, and to think you're supposed to be greatest underage detective in the world. Two seconds," Raven answered.
"Raven, I'm sorry. I'm sorry that I like you as more than a friend," Robin said, his voice actually sounding sincere.
"One second and I am going to blast you," Raven warned. Robin released her arm. Raven began to walk up the hallway and burned back for a split second, "It's not you, by the way. I've just been in love before and honestly, betrayal hurts. I don't plan on getting anywhere near that again."
"Raven, I wouldn't betray you though. I promise I'm not really an evil dragon," Robin said, making a bad attempt at a joke.
"I have trust issues, Robin. You're wasting your time," Raven turned away from him.
"You're worth wasting it over," Robin whispered so Raven could just hear him. She fought off a smile, Raven, do not go there again.
"Cliché, Robin, very cliché," She started walking across the hall.
"Don't pretend you didn't want to smile, Raven," Robin called to her. Raven kept walking until she closed her bedroom door. She sighed, sliding down her wall until she was sitting on her floor.
Damn Boy Wonder, if he wasn't so persistent this would be so much easier for me, Raven thought to herself annoyed. She ran her fingers through her hair in frustration.
Robin spiked his hair in the bathroom mirror before returning his mask to his face. He wondered to himself what Raven would think of his eye color before leaving the bathroom. He knocked on Raven's door but she did not answer.
"Rae," Robin said through the door, "Can we talk?"
"Is it optional?" Raven asked.
"Not really, no." The door slid open. Robin found Raven sitting against her wall and knelt down to be eye level with her, "Raven, I am never going to hurt you. I promise. Please, at least trust me with that."
Robin picked Raven up and carried her over to her bed, sitting her down there. She squirmed at first, trying to get him to put her down, but gave up quickly knowing he wouldn't put her down yet. Robin kissed her again, more passionately then the night prior. He pushed her back so that Raven was almost flat on her bed as his lips pushed against hers. Raven's hands found his chest, originally trying to push him off of her, which was pointless because Robin was always stronger than her and, in all honestly, she enjoyed it somewhere deep down. The second Raven kissed him back, Robin lifted his hands away from her head, letting them explore her body. Again, Raven protested first before giving in. In fact, it wasn't until her communicator buzzed that Robin got off of her, and even then it was reluctantly.
"Morning Cyborg," Raven said, faking a yawn.
"Sorry if I woke ya' up, Rae. You hardly ever sleep in..." Cyborg said, "I just wanted to know if you wanted breakfast?"
Raven smiled, "I'm fine, thanks." Her screen went blank and she looked back at Robin, who smirked happily.
"I am taking you out for dinner tonight," Robin declared, "No arguments."
"Wasn't going to," Raven said in her monotone voice. Robin leaned in and kissed her softly, his hand holding the arch of her back so she couldn't pull away.
"No need to be so forceful," Raven whispered, "I'm not resisting." The Boy Wonder smiled, kissing her again and holding her close to him.
