After a long explanation of how Red X escaped, Raven slowly made her way towards her room. Reaching the cold metal door with the inscriptions 'RAVEN' carved into it, she punched her code into the keypad to the right of the door. Entering she immediately sensed there was another presence in the room. Looking over towards her bed she saw that nobody was there.

"Jumpy aren't we," chuckled a deep voice. Once hearing the first syllables she recognized the metallic voice.

"X. what are you doing here? How'd you get past Cyborg's security?" Asked Raven, shocked at how voice trembled at his presence.

"Simple, I teleported. Not that difficult actually," he retorted taking one step forward to where she was, nearly touching her, "And for the second question, I wanted to see you. Or is that a crime as well?"

"You know perfectly well that you shouldn't be here," she answered shakily, "you shouldn't be here…." She repeated almost a whisper.

"And why is that?" he asked, serious spreading through his voice. She felt his concern and need melting in to her.

"Don't you get it!? You're a criminal, I'm a hero, and to finish this off, if you are going to be flirting with anyone," answering venom leaking through every word, "it should be Starfire…" whispering the last part looking away from the black eyed mask.

Taking hold of her grabbing the back of her neck with his right hand, and with his left he placed it on her chin. Turning her head so she can take a look at him square in the face.

"I don't want Starfire. I want you," he said almost sounding like a plead, "I only flirted with Star to piss of Bird Boy. I don't want just beauty, I want intelligence as well. And that's something only you have." Taking a deep breath, and hanging his head he replied with hushed murmur, "Rae, you're my Jewel, why do you think I've been setting off alarm without stealing, to see you. I would leave before it was time to battle you, because it killed me inside to see you hurt by anything."

He removed his hand that was placed behind her neck, and moved it to his skulled mask, with a swift movement the mask was gone. His hand that was on her chin moved her face so that she can once again take a look at him.

With the sharp intake of breath, X knew the damage was done and there was no going back. Raven shocked at the perfection that stood before her. Slightly tanned smooth skin. Steel gray eyes filled with love and honesty looked straight into her violet ones. Tiny freckles scattered on this beneath his eyes and on the bridge of his nose. Jet black silky straight hair, reaching down to his eyebrows and into his eyes. Raven took into noticed that at any movement of his mouth, dimples appeared on his cheeks. One word ran into her head, Perfection.

"Don't do this… please." Pleaded Raven, she couldn't she felt the need and desire running throughout her small form . Taking a deep breath he moved away from her. Putting his only form of hiding his identity on, she turned to her. Taking a good look at her, before leaving for the night.

"No matter how much you think I'm wrong, we're wrong," he corrected himself, "I will guard you, and I don't need your permission. I will take a bullet for you, without having to think twice. You think your different odd, creepy but your not, your unique and beautiful," he said with such care, "Don't let any one tell you otherwise"

And with that he was gone with in seconds. Making her way to her bed she striped out of her uniform and into a black tank top and boy short. Crawling under the covers, she could help but wonder on the confusing feeling running through her. And eventually sank into a deep slumber dreaming only of a gray eyed thief.
