The shadow waited until everyone was asleep in the tower lurking in shadows of the "off limits room," once the intruder heard the steady beating of breath they came out from their shadow to look over at the body that rested so peacefully. The trespasser looked around and made their way out of the "Ice Queen's" room, and began creep into the steel covered tower, making their way into each and everyone's room to make sure they all would not interrupt their "meeting." As the shadow-like figure moved swiftly down the corridors back to their original hide away in the "sacred room" that no one dared to enter, the villain made its way to the sleeping body ahead. The shadow creeps its way to the edge of her bed bringing their gloved hand to brush away the purple strands from her face.
"You're mine Raven and I will show you what it means to be loved." Whispered the intruder watching Raven's mouth twitch into a smile, as Raven was opening her eyes she saw the figure,
"Azarath Metrion ZINTHOS!" Raven yelled as her aura shot back the intruder to her bookshelves making everything fall off. "Who are YOU? Why are you HERE!?" Demanded Raven as she was trying to get a better look, but to her dismay she could see nothing.
"I'm here to see a beautiful woman," The intruder replied sweetly, while getting up still in the shadows.
"Sorry, but Starfire's room is next door," Raven replied in her monotone, as she was trying to figure out the voice, but she got nothing.
"Maybe, I want to see you," The shadow replied looking at her, as she was in purple shorts, and a purple tank top that was so inviting to him.
"Cut the crap and get out!" Raven demanded, walking towards the figure as her hands were encased with black magic. But, as she listened she heard the others begin to wake up and she could hear Robin's voice coming closer to her room.
"Till another time, and don't worry you'll see me soon." The figure smiled, before Raven had time to attack he was gone in a puff as smoke and at the same time the others charging in.
"What happened?!" Robin yelled, as he pointed to the scattered books on the floor.
"Bad….dream," Raven lied, as she watched everyone's expression relax, well, almost everyone.
"Alright ya'll if that's it I am going back to sleep," Cyborg yawned as everyone followed, except for Robin.
"What really happened?" Robin asked becoming serious.
"Really, Robin bad dream," Raven reassured, as she watched him leave before asking, "Hey, do you think I could train with you, you know the physical stuff?"
"Sure, but……why-" Robin was cut off as he was suddenly back in his room, "God, she has to stop doing that." As minutes past everyone fell asleep, but the shadow was looking from across the bay, smiling inward as he turned and left.
The next day was any other day, Cyborg and Beastboy fighting over breakfast, Starfire making her food, and finally there were no alarms that day, so Robin began showing/teaching Raven hand to hand combat. For hours they kicked, punched, and some times cursed, but what surprise Robin was that Raven was actually beating him. As days past into weeks Raven began to control her emotions making her "happy," as she grew her hair down to her mid-back. Raven began to feel so anew and so much more connected with everyone, that is until they started fighting.
On one day the alarm blared throughout the tower as Robin and Raven were training, everyone ran to see a red "X" on the screen by their favorite pizza place. "Titans GO!" Robin yelled as everyone started fly or drove, but before Robin could go anywhere Raven pulled him back by his cape. "Raven, what do-" Robin asked suspiciously.
"I can teleport," Raven smirked, before saying her mantra as both were soon in front of Red X.
"Titans GO!" Robin yelled as Raven and Robin went after Red X who was dodging punches from Robin, as he looked around he saw all the Titans in their battle stance.
"Perfect," mumbled Red X as she shot a red "x" towards all the Titans gluing them together.
"Dude, I can't get out!" Cyborg yelled struggling,
"I can't morph!" Beastboy yelled trying to change into different animals, but with no luck.
"I can not fly out of the stickiness of the goo." Starfire replied sadly.
"Raven can you?" Robin asked,
"No problem," Raven answered, as she fazed through the goo to battle Red X.
"Oh, come on Sunshine I won't go easy." Red X smiled as he saw her take a stance.
"Neither will I," Raven smirked making the first move to throw multi-punches at Red X, but he easily dodged, he soon tried punching her, but was surprised at how fast she dodged them. Finally, after minutes of blocking and dodging Red X back flipped at the same time throwing sharp "x's" that were easily going towards Raven. But, before they hit her they were encased in her magic and were torn apart.
"Let's finish this," Raven smirked, as she saw Red X start to shake, "Azarath Metrion ZINTHOS!" Before Red X knew what was happening a black dome made from her magic was encasing both of them swallowing both in total darkness. Raven could hear the unsteady breathing of Red X as she started to smirk, she melted in the shadows sneaking up on Red X and kicking him the gut, throwing punches, and occasionally knocking his feet from under him, when he tried to stand up. When Raven was sure he had enough she let her black dome disappear, as the warm sun started to beat down on a panting Red X who was on his hands and knees gasping for air.
"You've lost X, it's over," Raven spoke softly going down to eye level.
"I…….haven't…lost," Red X panted.
"Yes, you have you are all out of tricks." Raven smirked as she saw how helpless he looked.
"Ohhh…..I….haven't….lost," Red X replied gripping the gravel as he was getting his air back. "Now!" Red X yelled, and before Raven had time to react she saw the metal bracelet she saw Red X give Adondis, and at that moment Adondis appeared smirking, hitting her making her slide across the gravel scratching up her cape.
"Titans GO!" Robin yelled fiercely, trying to get his boomerang from his belt.
"Dude, the only one who is out of the goo is Raven. If you haven't noticed we are still trapped!" Complained Beastboy, as he saw Robin cutting the goo as he jumped out and tossed him the boomerang.
"Use this," Robin ordered as he went to help Raven.
Robin ran straight towards Adondis who had Raven backing away, Robin took his bo-staff from his belt and hit Adondis with the metal pole as the villain began to stumble back.
"You ok?" Robin asked, as Raven was in a fighting stance.
"Yeah," Raven groaned, as she saw Red X and Adondis come towards her, Robin surveyed how this was going to go Adondis was in front of Raven and Red X in front of him each of them ready for the other to make a move.
"I'll take the ugly one," Robin whispered, not keeping his eyes from Red X.
"Which one," Raven mumbled before everyone charged, Raven tried to fight Adondis but all he did was block every hit, so she tried to use her powers. But, instead of the dark magic a painful shock went through her body making her almost collapsed. "Shit," Raven mumbled as she watched Adondis smile.
"Now I see you're still feisty that's good, because I like them like that." Adondis purred, as he saw Raven snort in another battle stance. "Now, we can do this the hard way or easy way." Adondis smirked.
"I'd rather the hard way!" Raven yelled, before she hit Adondis in the face. Adondis stumbles back in surprise, before pinning her to the ground.
"What are you going to do now?" Adondis asked, as his hands grip hers not letting her move around. Raven turned her head to Robin and Red X panting still going at one another. Raven looked at the other Titans who were finally out of the goo and shot Adondis off of her.
"Boohya!" Yelled Cyborg, Raven melted in shadows as she saw Red X was nowhere in sight.
"Where is-" Raven was cut off as on arm clamped over her mouth, and the other snaking around her waist.
"Miss me," The cool, synchronized voice echoed through her ear, Raven was struggling but nothing worked, that is she was hit in the head making her eyes see nothing but blackness.
