Hey everyone, I have some reviewer thanks and some explanations for a certain reviewer who semi-flamed me. To start off.. the reviewer thanks…
Simmie: Well you're the first person to actually respond to my rae/rob/redx question since I updated so thanks! I think I am gonna make it rae/rob/redx but its more of inward jealously for robin, like he doesn't want to admit that he has a thing for raven, what do you think? Thanks for the reviews!
Nyx-Night Goddess: Well, I haven't exactly decided how Robin will react in this chapter, then again I haven't written it yet, but I think im gonna see where the writing takes me, but I think im gonna make it so he becomes uber obsessed like he did with Slade! But I don't know yet!
NerdSavvy: Thanks Im glad I could make it so ur on the edge of your seat!
Kie: I know, I'm trying to update once a week now, but I started updating again after a year lol…I felt so bad for not continuing that I made it my life goal now to finish this!
Hitaruchan: I don't think that im gonna make red X be robin though, I want Raven to meet some random person like at one of her poetry cafes and have that be red x, but have raven not know it, and that person is sectretly like obsessed with her or something..yeah just predictions tho..
Delirium24: Omg trinity! Hey, yeah I finally updated after like a year! I know all my old reviewers left, probably aren't even updating themselves, but you came back! How are al your fics going!
Now for the semi-flamer…..: ok maybe you don't realize what kind of website your on, it's called FAN FICTION…as in stories that are made up by fans.. Part of making up a story on is that the author can make up a plot that is completely separate from the tvshow storyline, authors here are supposed to be free to create what ever kind of story that they want to with what ever kind of pairings they want to. And why don't you try looking at the date that my fic was created, 7-19-05, as in 2005, as in last year, before the teen titans movie was out… I can't just change my fic according to whats happening in the series right now, it wouldn't make any sense, so how about you try to respect other people opinions before you try to flame someone next time!
Wow I can't believe that I didn't say a single cuss word! Im so proud of myself! Ok so now that I got that off my chest on with the chapter…
Chapter 9: Breakdown
"Raven, I have something to tell you too." Robin murmured, as Raven focused her hearing on his voice. She raised an eyebrow in shock.
"Really? Well you go first." Raven replied, always having proper manners in a conversation.
"I couldn't get back to sleep after the alarms went off," He turned and glanced out the window, "So I went down to the security room to check if something was wrong…I saw something…" He trailed off.
"What?" She couldn't think about what he could possibly have seen.
"…someone I thought was gone." Raven's eyes widened in realization. "Raven, Red X is back, I saw him on the video footage outside the tower." He finished
"No," She said, half pretending to be shocked.
Robin bolted up from his seat. "Raven, he was outside your room!" He said his voice steadily growing louder.
Raven couldn't take it, he had to know, and she had to tell him. "I-I know." She whispered turning her head, to ashamed to look at him.
Now it was Robin's turn to raise and eyebrow in shock. "What!" He turned to her. He instantly knew that she was serious, after all it wasn't like Raven to joke around.
"I know." She repeated even quieter.
"YOU KNEW!" He shouted walking up to her, their faces only inches apart. Her eyes rose to meet his masked ones for a split second, and then lowered to the ground
"I've known for a while Robin, I was going to tell you, we all were, but..." She was cut off.
"Wait all of you knew about this!" He questioned, his anger rising in him.
Raven knew she had said the wrong thing, she didn't want to drag the other titans into this, but it was a little too late now. "R-Robin, "She tried to explain, but there were no words that could come to her mind. She had messed up and now she would suffer the consequences. But could the consequences be so horrible that she might lose a friend forever?
"Why didn't you tell me! Red X is a dangerous criminal, he won't be taken down easily!"
"Robin, I know…"
"Then why did you go behind my back, why would all of you lie to me!" He asked, with a hurt tone in his voice.
Raven had fought back way too many emotions, wriggling their way out of the barrier in her mind. She needed to stay calm but it was getting harder and harder to control herself. The shame, disappointment, and anger was building and building. "We knew that you would become different! You would hunt him down and become obsessed with him just like you did with Slade!" She shouted louder than she ever had before. She shut her eyes as tears leaked out, her emotions had broken completely through her blockade. Her eyes erupted in a blood red as she opened them once again. Several items around the room were taken over by dark black matter and rose in the air. One by one they each exploded.
"Raven!" Robin yelled, whipping his head in every direction to avoid the flying furniture.
She faintly heard his voice but all physical things in the room disappeared as Raven's vision became a vast desert of darkness, no living thing remained in this desert. Her hands gripped her head fiercely as she begged her mind to regain control. She shut her eyes tight and strained to rebuild the barrier in her mind. Slowly but surely the room, complete with now blown up and shattered furniture came back to her. She felt someone grab her by her shoulders. She looked up to see Robin, concern and fear apparent on his face.
"Are you okay!" Equal concern in his voice.
She struggled out of his grip and stumbled backwards, still grasping her head which had now began to erupt in a pounding head ache. "I'm so sorry Robin." She managed to struggle out before she ran out of the room, catching herself as she tripped along the way.
Robin could only look on as a spiraled spring from the torn couch jumped out from the wooden frame. It was the only sound from the room as Robin only felt one solid emotion, Guilt.
END OF CHAPTER 9
Ok so I wasn't originally going to have Raven's powers go psycho on her..but I couldn't stop writing it! Lol I hope all of you like it! I know Raven comes off a lil weak in this chapter, but I was thinking about a good FIGHT SCENE between Raven and Red x to ensue next! It wouldn't be chapter 10 but probably 11! If you like the idea review and let me know! Thanks for reading!
