Because of You
The First Step
OK, I didn't get the amount of reviews I had hoped for, but I'm hoping that I will this time.So enjoy the chapter.
Raven was in her " temporary " room when Red-X knocked.
" Hey Raven. Just wanted to say, I have breakfast on the table if you want some."He said smiling. Raven nodded to him and noticed something about him before he left the doorway. He didn't have his suit on. He had sneakers, blue jeans, and a black turtleneck.
" He's so kind to me. And I try to stop him from stealing everyday. " Raven said to herself. She sighed and went into the kitchen.
In the kitchen, on the table, on the plate in front of her was the most delicious looking breakfast ever. There was: toast, scrambled eggs, hash browns, bacon, sausage, pancakes. Raven couldn't believe how everything looked. It was so good looking.
" Raven, are you going to eat, or are you going to just stare at it?"He asked curiously.
"The food at the tower never looked this good. Am I sure I want to leave?"Raven said laughing."By the way, what's a code name I could call you? I don't like calling you Red-X all the time."
"I trust you with my real name. It's Ryan."He said calmly.
"I like that name." she said smiling.
"OK. Well dig in."
Raven smiled with delight as she got a little of each and smiled. Raven slowly ate everything savoring the delicious taste of all on her plate. Ryan was kind to her and she didn't know how to repay. She knew if she asked him he would probably say some " fun " was all repayment he would need. So she just thought to herself what she could do. Well keep his secret would be one thing.
Raven finished her breakfast in sorrow. There was no more food to eat. It was just all so delicious. She sighed and leaned against her chair. As she got up to take her plate to the sink, Ryan stopped her and took the plate for her. She went back to her room and sat on the well made bed. She looked to the clock and saw that it was seven in the morning already. Time flies when you enjoy your breakfast.
-----Titan's Tower-----
Cyborg awoke at seven that morning. He was feeling refreshed after a good charge. He walked to the kitchen and saw no one else was awake. He smiled evilly as he would be able to make his breakfast with Beast Boy not nagging in his ear about meat.
He turned on the stove and put an iron skillet over the flame. He opened the fridge and got out eggs and bacon and the butter. When he shut the fridge door he saw the note. He set his ingredients down on the counter and turned off the stove. He read it fast and before he did he knew Raven's handwriting and her stationary paper too. He ran to the alarm and activated it.
Beast Boy shot out of bed and hit his head on the top bunk. He screamed in pain and heard Cyborg's voice over the intercom. He ran to the kitchen and put on a T shirt on the way. He had pajama bottoms on so he just needed a shirt.
Starfire rose from her pink sheets and ran to her friends distress call. She hoped it was nothing too serious. She met Beast Boy in the hall. Well she actually flew into him as he was running. They both fell on the ground in serious pain from the impact.
Robin awoke calmly and went to his closet. He changed into his uniform and calmly walked into the hall. He walked toward the kitchen and saw beast Boy and Starfire laying down mixed up in all the wrong places. [ A/N: I thought it would funny to put that.
"Will you guys stop messing around. We have an emergency to deal with here."He said really carelessly and calmly. Beast Boy helped Starfire up and they joined Cyborg and Robin in the kitchen.
"What's the emergency?"Beast Boy asked.
"Raven's gone."He said.
"What?"
"Pardon?"
"WHAT!?"Robin screamed.
"' Dear titans, I have come to the conclusion that I will no longer be apart of the team. I feel as though It's time for me to move on. Yeah, being a hero was fun, but I've moved on emotionally. I just feel like I shouldn't burden you with the burden I have. I hope you forgive me, Raven.'"Cyborg read the letter aloud.
"Why would friend Raven leave us? And what is this burden she speaks of?"Starfire asked.
"I'm not sure Star, but whatever it is, it was big enough to make her want to leave."Beast Boy said to her.
-----Across town-----
Raven sat on her bed listening to music on her CD player. She realized that Ryan made her stay in the city due to something of his. So he said she could stay with him as long as she wanted.
"' ...They love their kids and their house and that dog in the yard
Oh and their neighbors for the most part
They love each other, but it's hard to be lover's
When life gets in the way
Sometimes love needs a holiday
He hung up the DO NOT DISTURB
To shut out the rest of the world
48 hours of just him and her
You can't get this at home... '"
Raven sang the song that was playing and was dancing around the room. She forgot all her troubles and didn't even notice she had an audience. Since she had her headphones on, she didn't know Ryan was watching. She was spinning around having fun for once. Then she turned toward the door and opened her eyes and freaked out. She was scared seeing him right there and went backward falling down.
Ryan laughed at Raven glared at him. She got up and walked over to him.
"What? You think something is funny?" Raven said in a threating tone.
"Yes. You falling is funny."Ryan said laughing again.
Raven pushed him against the wall smirking. She walked out of the room and got a glass of juice. Ryan appeared in the kitchen shortly after and smiled at her. She smiled back and didn't expect Ryan to do what he did next. Ryan pushed Raven against the wall with her hands on the wall. Ryan could see fear in Raven's eyes. She was terrified. But he moved in to kiss her but she moved her head away from his.
"What's wrong?" he asked releasing her.
"The last time this happened something terrible happened. But, I'm too afriad to tell anyone what happened." she answered calmly.
"Please, tell me."Ryan pleaded with her.
"OK. But not now alright. Maybe later tonight."Raven told him.
"Alright."
