-1"I'm going to be stuck in a cave with you all night, aren't I?" Red X turned back to face Raven. He was smiling underneath his skull mask.
"Looks like it, Sweet Thing, now are you coming or are you going to stay here and freeze to death." Raven looked at him uncomfortably at him when he called her his little pet name for her. He smirked and shook his head and kept walking. This was going to be an interesting night. After Raven realized that he had continued to walk Raven regained herself and kept started to follow.
The walk to the cave shouldn't have taken them too long, only about ten minutes actually. But its amazing what the chilling to the bone wind, ice and snow can do to people to slow them down. So it took them about a half an hour. Finally, when they reached the cave, Red X lifted up the wall of tree bark that he had used for an entrance, over his head so that Raven could walk in. Red X then put the bark wall in one hand and swept Raven a deep bow.
"Ladies first." Raven crossed her arms refusing to look at X while ducking her head so that she could get inside the cave.
It was more spacious in the appeared -to -be -little cave than one might've imagined. There was even a small fire burning In the center. Red X came into the cave and sat down next to the fire. Raven just stood there with her arms crossed feeling very uncomfortable being in the same room with one of the Titans' enemies. Red X seemed to sense her discomfort.
"Well don't just stand there. Sit down, take a load off!" Raven sat down, sitting as far away from Red X as half -humanly possible. Red X started twiddling his thumbs. "So, where are you from?" He asked Raven this as politely as he could. No need to offend her while the night was young. Raven looked over at X. Her face held no sign of emotion.
"Why do you want to know?" Red X simply shrugged his shoulders while he repositioned himself so that his back was leaning against the stone cold wall.
"Well, I don't know that much about you and seeming as we're going to be stuck here pretty much the whole night we might as well have some conversation starters." Raven heaved a sigh. There was no way she was going to tell Red X where she grew up or where she came from. Her own friends didn't even know those things about her.
"Okay then, where did you grow up?" Red X grinned. He saw what she was trying to do. She was trying to turn the tables on him. Use Reverse psychology. He wasn't falling for it. Not at all.
"Alright I get your point." He crossed his arms and looked away from her. Raven crossed her legs and began chanting her mantra.
After about a half an hour neither of them said a word, unless you count Raven's meditating. Red X became very bored. He looked over at Raven who was sitting in her signature meditation pose. He stared at her. He had never quite gotten a good look at the Goth girl. She had never seemed to him as something worth looking at. However, now that the blaze of the fire hit her body just right so that it illuminated the shadow covering her face, he could truly see that she was quite the catch. He continued looking over his temporary roommate. He noticed that her cloths didn't look very comfortable. As he pondered this a question came into his mind. A question that needed to be asked.
"Do you wear a bra under your leotard?" Raven fell hardly on to the stone floor out of shock. She dragged herself up from the floor. She stared long and hard at the villain before her. Had she heard correctly? She cleared her throat.
"Excuse me?"
"I asked you if you wore a br-" Raven cut him off before he could answer.
"No, there's no need to repeat the question. Why the hell do you want to know?" Red X shrugged.
"I don't know, the question just sorrta popped into my head." Raven backed into the stone wall behind her as far as the laws of reality would allow. Who did this perverted sicko think he was? The only thing she could think to do was ignore him.
Red X could see by the way Raven turned her head away that she was going to try to ignore him. He smirked. This was going to be fun. Play a couple of games with the titans' Goth chick and the rest of the night would start to look up. He hoped. No wait, he knew! He had a way with girls. No female could resist him!
Raven was still looking pretty scared, it was the first sign of emotion that she had shown all night. She never took her eyes off the thief. He took a little high-tech looking container from his belt he threw it onto the floor and it instantly turned into a sleeping bag. He looked over at Raven who was still up against the wall. He shook his head and smirked this was going to be all too easy. He was about to put his little game into action.
"You know, I noticed you don't have anything to sleep in." Raven seemed to regain her composure and took a step away from the wall.
"Was there a point in that statement?" Red X shook his head from side to side as if to say 'maybe'.
"Well its just that you don't have anything to sleep on tonight." Raven looked at him suspiciously.
"What are you trying to get at?" Red X shrugged and sat down on the sleeping bag.
"Well, I have a one person sleeping bag, but I'm sure if we huddle together close enough we'll both be able to fit." Raven was back pressed against the wall. This guy was deranged. He was, no, he couldn't be…..putting the move on her???
