You thought that was the end?? Think again!! Bahahaa!!!!!
When we got to the tower Starfire was still thrashing BB and Cy was cleaning up getting teased by Bumblebee. Bumblebee had grown just a bit and looked a lot different. She changed her hair and let it stay out. I was past her shoulders and had nice curves in it.
I looked over at Robin, he sighed.
"This is old news, do you want to go walk around for a bit?" He asked.
"Sure."
We decided to go to the pizza place. It was open till late at night mainly because the owner thought he would get more business. When we arrived there, there wasn't much to do. I got a drink and we sat down talking for a while.
"So you think Josh deserved to die?" I asked him. We were discussing The Blair Witch Project which is a horror movie. Josh is one of them and he dies first.
"Yes! Josh was annoying!"
"No he wasn't!" I argued.
"Yeah! He so was, he kept interrupting and having a go at Mike!"
"But Mike should have been the one to die first, he was the one who kicked the map in the river!"
"Mike was a legend!"
"He was a wimp!" I told him. He smiled.
"Anyway… Rae do you remember that movie that came out before… 1408?"
"How could I forget…" I put my head in my hands. "That was terrible."
"It was fantastic! The horror, the suspense, the whole plot was wonderful!"
"It was fantastic but… it was scary…" I whimpered.
"Aw Rae!" He shuffled over on the U shaped sofa around a table. He put his arm around me and kissed me on the cheek. "I won't let any monsters or baddies get to you." I snuggled into his chest. His hand was on my back rubbing soothingly and his head was rested in my hair. I'm not sure how long we stayed like that but I had a feeling we drifted into a sleep because I supposedly awoke to a group of teenagers loudly walking in.
"Rae?"
"Mmm?"
"We should get back."
"OK, fair enough… nothing can last forever."
"My love for you can…"
"Thank you Robin, as can mine." I kissed him on the lips. We slid out of the sofa and paid at the counter.
"Here, I know a shortcut, walk with me." Robin had his arm around me and I had mine around his waist. We walked on the pathway. Everything was so quiet.
"What about… Joe?"
"No way!" I said a bit too loudly. We were talking about this movie… I can't remember what it is called but it had heaps of guys in it. Robin was asking me if any of them I would go out with.
"…Kev?"
"…Nah, he's decent but I need someone better than decent. Like you."
"Thank you Raven. It's great to know that I'm better than decent… John?"
"Are you kidding? He's HORRIBLE!"
"Oh… well how am I supposed to know, I'm a guy!"
"Well I hope you are," I muttered.
"So Raven Grayson, what have you been doing recently?"
"Recently? Well I have been waking up, having tea, being dragged to shopping with Starfire, had lunch, teased BB about losing three times in a row to me, helping Cyborg re-circuit the light in his room and hanging out with my fiancé. Oh and having dinner and reading."
"Well that sounds like a fulfilling day. I wish I had one of those," he said laughing.
"What do you mean?"
"I
never have a fulfilling day, I always find myself blanking and
wondering what to do next."
"Oh. Time seems to fly for me…"
"Well it does for me… occasionally when I'm with you… but when I'm alone, on my room trying to track a villain I feel so… humph."
"I see… I have never felt humph before but I see…"
"Oh shush." We both laughed. I heard some drunk rambling ahead but couldn't see through the darkness. I felt Robin's arm tense around me.
"Come on, let's cross the road." I didn't argue with him. When we crossed the road to the other side I glanced over to see one of the drunk guys standing in the light call over his friends. They looked older than us, maybe in their late twenties. The one under the light was very tall and slim with muscles. He was wearing winter clothing as we all were. He was starting to cross the road.
"Rae, don't look." I realised that I had been staring.
"Sorry. Do you want me to fly us back?"
"No, that will just direct attention. Besides, they can't keep up, their too intoxicated."
"OK." We kept silently walking for a while. I could hear them talking. A smaller group than I remember seeing. I glanced over my shoulder again to see the man still close behind us. He was very fast… for a drunk.
"I saw you look! Hello darling!" I snapped my head back. His voice was gruff and deep. We walked a bit faster but we stopped suddenly. I noticed why. The rest off the men cut us off. Robin looked to the left and walked into the alley. I wanted to say something but my voice wasn't working. I could barely even feel my body. I felt quite numb.
"Dead end," I heard Robin mutter ever so softly. The drunken men were closing in on us. "Rae, fly us out." I tried but my powers weren't responding. I felt sick. All this pressure… I tried again but nothing worked. I concentrated but it wasn't working.
"I can't…" I said quietly.
"OK, don't strain yourself." Then men were close and had stopped. There were six of them. Most of them were fit, strong and tall, one or two were the opposite. The one that was following behind us before came up and spoke.
"Hello there darling and… sir. Boys, would you mind separating these two? I'd like to talk to missy over there." He pointed at me. Robin tensed, I felt his arm come down and then hold my hand.
"I'm sorry sir but we must be off…" Robin said.
"No I'm sorry sir, you may leave, but the girl stays."
"I can't have that." He was speaking very strongly now. I could tell he was holding back from fighting against them.
"Boys, looks like we'll have to deal with the boyfriend first. Demetros! Your up." The main guy walked behind the wall of men. One of them stepped out. He was tall and slim but very slender. He looked so slimy and sly. He had a dirty grin on his face. Robin wasn't letting go of me. What I prayed for was that he didn't get hurt. But soon enough, I was sure that this wasn't going to end well. Six normal men Robin can handle but six super powered men, I didn't think so. Demetros, this sly character could summon electricity as we soon found out. He had a small concentrated ball in his hand. Robin backed up with me in his grip and put me to the corner. I stayed still and tried to tell him to be careful or that I loved him. But again nothing came out. Robin was in a ready stance and was watching. I felt myself go teary. All I could think was what if…
Demetros shot an electricity ball at Robin which he dodged. It hit the opposite wall. Robin ran and tried to kick him but Demetros grabbed Robin's leg and twisted it. Robin fell to the ground.
"Robin!" I screamed. Finally sound came out. Robin didn't look back at me. He was staring at the ground. When he got up Demetros grabbed his shirt pulling it close to his face. Demetros had his free hand against his chest which was generating power. Demetros was talking to Robin.
"Just know that I have nothing against you personally, I just really like your girl." Robin was flung. He hit the brick wall and slammed down. I ran over to him and knelt beside him.
"Robin…" I whispered. His cheek was bleeding and his shirt on his back was ripped from the wall. His skin grinded against the brick making scratches… There was so much blood.
"Rae, I love-" Before Robin could finish, a different guy kicked Robin's face in. I was so filled with rage.
"How can you do that? Stop it!" I was tearing up, my eyes were watery. Another guy came along and spoke to me in a different language.
"He says to shut it, he says you'll thank him later. We don't want to hurt anyone, your boy here says he want to stay so, he get what he sees coming."
That sickened me. I couldn't take it. My next move was the single most thing I regret doing in my entire life. I punched him. Hard. He pulled his jaw back and smiled evilly. I was shocked at myself. How stupid.
"Miss, I would never punch a girl put my friends here and I won't tolerate your bad behaviour. Nobody's around… So guess what?" He punched my jaw this time. It felt worse than it looked. I clicked it back and also felt whiplash. I tried using my powers but he grabbed my hands.
"One more punch miss. You deserve it." He held my hands up high, head height and pulled back his fist. He slammed it into my gut. I fell to the ground next to Robin. I heard them wander off laughing. Whatever drove them to walk off, I was grateful. Robin got up before I could. There was one thing on my mind.
"Raven, are you OK?" His voice was beautiful. My vision was going. I gripped his shirt. "Robin!"
"I'm here, I'm here!"
"Robin! Robin! Help me! Robin!"
"Yes Rae I'm here!"
"No Robin, the baby!"
Clarifying: he punched her in the gut, where the baby was. Dum dum DUMMM!!!!
For the record I have seen the Blair Witch Project and 1408. 1408 was the scariest movie I have seen in a while… To me it was scary… Whimper lol : )
Please review,
Cheers.
