Chapter Two: Lust
"No, I-It can't be you!" Raven stuttered eyes permanently wide in shock.
"It most certainly is." The voice responded with a masked smile.
"Red-X!" Raven exclaimed, more rather to herself than the thief that stood in her presence.
"In the flesh." He replied, Raven couldn't explain it, for words could not express the faint outline of obnoxiousness and lust flowing though his drawl of speech.
"But you're gone, you vanished that night at the lab!" Raven attempted to convince herself that the costumed thief standing before her was merely an illusion controlled, by what she expected to be, a forty year old bald man trying to get his kicks by confusing the mysterious titan.
"Hmm…yes the lab…" He hummed, titling his head upwards into the endless boulevard of his memories. Raven wouldn't show of admit it, but his voice lulled her to a drowsy state. A blessing her hood was mounted on her head, for if it hadn't been Red-X would've spied the delicate run of crimson knitted into her pale cheeks as she hurriedly denied her emotions and thrusted her thoughts back to the present. "Well, someone up there must like me." He finished dully, neither explaining his miraculous survival, nor putting to rest Raven's accountable suspicions.
"I guess so, "Raven responded, snapping her flagrantly wandering attention back to her conversation, "but you're still a criminal…" She trailed off, darkening the space around her balled fists as Red-X finished her statement.
"Yeah, and you're still a titan, so what're we waiting for?" Red-X challenged, providing a horrific fighter stance. Red-X the ever-vigilant thief leapt into action first, extending his leg to kick out an X blade that must've been shadowed in the folds of his costume, for it came out of no where! Raven, being equally wary created a dense fog that clouded the air before her, shielding her from her foe's attack.
"You're gonna have to do better than that." Raven laughed at X's incompetence to hit her.
She vaguely heard a grunt of amusement escaping the dark man's curved lips. "Don't worry babe, I'm just getting started." He said as he leapt high into the air and bent his arm under his legs, putting all his weight into the attack, intending to knock the startled girl unconscious.
'Did he just call me babe!' A shocked Raven asked herself, no sooner had the thought grazed her mind than it left her. She quickly pushed her thoughts away and pulled herself back into the present, which consisted of Red-X, inches away from her head, ready to bash the life out of her. She only had a few seconds to dodge his assault, the only thing that came to her mind was to fall forward and another shocking thought, 'I'm not going to make it!'
Red-X eyed his prey warily as the distance between them grew to millimeters. He smiled as she bent herself forward, as if she was breaking into a run. His smile grew ten-fold as his arm collided with her upper-back. He heard a sickening crack as she crumpled to the floor. His sensitive ears picked up a moan of anguish as the cloak enhanced pile writhed and squirmed. A hand emerged from underneath the tattered cape, urging the contents inside to follow suit. The victorious thief watched in utter amusement as his foe attempted to crawl away. He stepped on her outstretched arm and felt the mystic hand of déjà vu as he bound her hands together. Red-X rested his folded arms across his chest in triumph and watched Raven push and pull her wrist in a futile effort to break the bond.
RAVEN'S POV
My back screamed in pain with every worthless move I made. What in the seven hells ever made me volunteer to track this alone? I could be back at the tower meditating or doing a million other more enjoyable things, I'd even rather be playing Cyborg and Beastboy's mindless video games than to be in the hands of Red-X.
Suddenly Raven felt a pair of eyes in her that brought her out of her fits of internal rage. Raven jerked her head, roughly slapping the fallen locks of violet from her cadaverous skin. She found her suspicions of someone watching her to be correct. She glanced up to see Red-X knelt beside her, they looked at each other for the longest time. Though Raven couldn't see X's eyes, she was certain that they were locked with her own.
Raven suddenly felt her heart throb as the deafening silence and endless gaze at one another continued.
RED-X POV
I lifted my hand towards her face. I was amazed when she flinched. Did she think I was going to hurt her? "Well probably since you did just tie her up!" a nonchalant emotion cried in his head. I've always known her to be fierce, like she never needed anyone. She always seemed more comfortable being alone. But when she flinched it seemed more like an unwanted withdrawal to me. Maybe she does want someone. I proceeded to inch my hand closer to the fallen titan until it reached her amethyst strands of hair. I softly raked my hands through it, memorizing each silky smooth lock that came into my embrace, it brought a warm feeling to my frigid heart as I aroused the scent from it. I beckoned it to me forever as the scent of lavender filled my nostrils, awakening an unproclaimed lust in me.
The quickly setting sun filled the room with a golden aura. Red-X stood up and allowed Raven's thoughts to be processed once again. 'What was that? What was that pervert doing?' She thought, thought it was far from how she felt. Red-X had also awakened the long since neglected feeling of lust in her. A stabbing pain shoved her to the present once again. She eyed her softly red painted wrists. The ties on her wrists were beginning to irritate her skin, a clear sign from the slight swollen bulge around the crimson bond. 'Oh, well at least my friends will be here soon and then they can take can finally throw Red-X in jail, for good. Suddenly a wave of panic washed over her. 'It's sunset, Cyborg said that they would be here at noon!' She eyed the computers in the corner of the room, she saw X typing rapidly on one of them, but she paid no attention, for she was on another mission. 'A-ha!' She thought as she saw the digital clock at the bottom of one screen. '6:00!' She gasped aloud, but the purring of the computers and clicking of the keyboard thoroughly disguised it. 'They were supposed to come for me at noon!' She remembered, thinking back to Cyborg's unkept promise. 'I guess they could've run into trouble." She said, remembering that they were, after all, super heroes. A clearly uncomfortable look was captured on Raven's face as Red-X had noticed when he inconspicuously stalked up behind her.
Her back screamed in protest as he roughly turned her over. "Worried about you friends I see." He said, as if he was reading her thoughts. "Don't worry, they're a little caught up." He laughed.
"What did you do to them!" Raven asked, . "Don't worry, they're a little caught up." He laughed.
"What did you do to them!" Raven asked anger ringing throughout her voice as she wildly squirmed, trying to remove her captured wrists. Finally, her mission had caught up with her pulsing mind, "why did you trigger that mask!" She asked suddenly, forcing X to kneel down to her once again. Red-X did something that even he didn't expect: he ripped off his mask, his face now thoroughly disguised by the dark blanket of night, grasped her head roughly pulling her upwards and planted a hard kiss on her lips. The titan's eyes went wide as she felt her mouth being smothered. She frantically tried to remove herself, but failed miserably. She gave up quickly, as a similar feeling began to ignite itself once again. However, this moment ended abruptly when X finally released her lips and dropped her head back on the ground. Her back gave another stab of protest but was harshly silenced by X's words.
"I'm sorry, but I will have to save the explanations for later." He replied to Raven's forgotten questions as he slapped his mask on once again.
Only one thought tugged itself from the vast ocean, of unanswered questions lingering in Raven's mind, 'who is the guy!'
