Chapter 3

"Some museum downtown." Robin explained, while urging me to follow him down the hallway. "I sent the other in the T car already."

"I'll just teleport then." I said, simply while we loaded onto the elevator that took us down to the garage where his T cycle was held.

"No, you won't." he replied, and walked off. I followed behind him with a furrowed brow.

"No?" I questioned. We passed a wall of supplies where he grabbed two helmets, one black and the other red. "What do you mean no?" I pushed, and grabbed his arm to pull him to a stop, where he turned and looked at me with his masked eyes.

"I don't want you going in there alone." he advised, and held the helmet up. "You're coming with me."

"Why?" I rebuked. "Last time I checked I can take care of myself." I snapped at him.

"Here we go." Rage smirked, within me.

"Correct me if I'm wrong, but last time I checked, teleporting weakens you." he almost growled, which surprised me since Robin is the calmest person I know. "I've already lost a part of you to Malchior and I refuse to lose anymore." he said, in a softer voice. "Especially to a scum like X." Our stare down only lasted a few seconds when Knowledge whispered in my ear that he was right and I shouldn't argue.

"Fine." I grumbled, and grabbed the black helmet from his outstretched hand. Pulling his helmet on, Robin swung his leg over the red bike, then turned the key and it roared to life. Reluctantly, I swung my leg over and seated myself behind Robin before pulling on the black helmet.

"Hold on." he called over the engine. Hesitantly I wrapped my arms around Robin's toned torso and Lust sighed in my head. Suddenly he we shot off like a rocket which made my grip tighten around Robin, and I could just feel his smirk from here. We literally flew out of the garage and sped down the special hidden bridge that led to the city where we weaved in and out of traffic. It was a little frightening, I'll admit that, the feeling of my stomach being gone really bothered me. Maybe this is what it felt to others when I transported them, the feeling of losing control. Holding on tighter I ducked my helmet covered head into his shoulder, silently wishing it will end it came to a sudden halt and I gained my feeling of control back. "You okay?" Robin asked, when I didn't let go. With a small nod, I managed to pull my arms back and eased the helmet off my head, before swinging my leg over the back and standing up. Sadly I haven't gained all of the feeling back in my legs and almost fell back onto my butt. "Whoa there." Robin said, quickly grabbing my arms to help steady me. "You okay?" he asked, for the millionth time today. Once the feeling came back again I gave a small nod and pushed his hands away, not in a mean way. "I should take you out riding more often." I glared up at his stupid domino mask and opened my mouth for a smart remark but was interrupted by a familiar, annoying disguised voice.

"Look at the lovely couple." Red X sang. Rage growled with in my mind, as Robin and I turned to see X leaning against the pillar of the museum.

"X." Robin growled, and his hands balled up into fists. "Whatever you're up to, it ends here."

"No need to get sensitive, Boy Blunder." X said, and held his arm up while doing a small turn. "See, no jewels or priceless goods." he stopped his turning, and glared down at us. "Just itching for a fight."

"Where are the others?" I whispered, as my fingers tingles with power. I have to admit that I was itching for a fight too, pent up anger and energy that needed to be released.

"Oh the three losers?" X laughed and crossed his arms. "They had some car troubles on the way."

"What did you do to them?" Robin demanded.

"Just the usual." he replied and made his way down the steps with ease and grace. "Goo, electric shock. Come one Bird Boy, I've been using the same tactics for months. I mean after all I am the one with the suit you made to defeat your friends." With a small sigh of annoyance I grabbed a near by pole and swung it at him, causing him to crash into a car, parked on the street.

"God he never shuts up." I mumbled and lowered my arm, then casting a look over at Robin.

"We should go get the others-" Robin was cut off as a giant X crashed into him plastering him to the stone pillar behind us. I spun around to find Red X on his feet and with in dangerous range of me.

"Sorry man." Red snickered and looked down at me. "Jeez Rae you losing your touch?" he asked, and cracked his knuckles. 'I barely felt that sweetheart." My glare became deadly as I felt anger rage through me, and I gritted my teeth.

"Azarath Metrion Zin-" my mantra was cut off when a sticky red x was slapped across my mouth. Red launched himself at me, and we crashed onto the steps of the museum, and I had to use my hands as self defense. In my mind I was panicking, this wasn't good, not the littlest bit good, I'm not trained in hand to hand combat. But I managed to throw a punch to Red's jaw which did little to affect him and just made my hand throb. Roughly he grabbed my wrist, pinning them to the ground by my head while straddling my waist and keeping my legs down. Was this it? Did he finally have one of us where he wanted us and he was going to kill me?

"Wow." he breathed. "Finally have a Titan in the palm of my hand. Got to admit it though, I never thought it would be you. Now what to do." he sang and leaned down closer to my face. I did my best not to squirm but I was slowly losing everything. Panic broke loose in Nevermore, Brave was hunched on the ground like she was in pain while Timid cried, Happiness and Knowledge where missing with the others. Anymore of this and I might lose control of everything. "So what's ticking in your brain, little bird? Emotions are losing their control, your powers don't have there oomph anymore? Was it this Malchior I keep hearing a lot about?" he asked, and my heart actually stopped for a moment. Looking up into his masked eyes his smugness was practically rolling over him. "Little Raven had a crush didn't she? Let me guess, someone you could finally relate to? Someone who didn't think you were some freak of nature with an agenda, but a warm, kind, loving girl that had the will to love if she was given the chance. Then this boy charming, Malchior, did everything he could to crawl his way into your black heart and make you trust him." My teeth felt like they were going to crack under the pressure I was applying on them, so I moved the pressure to my fist, where they sat clenched under Red X's grip. "And you, being the stupid little teenager that you are, believed him. Come on Raven, I thought you were the brains of the operation. Always so hesitant and calculating whether or not people are worth trusting, But I guess all those years of no love can take a toll on a demon." That was another stab at my heart, the control began to slowly slip out of my grip as he pressed on. "So after your shining dark knight broke your fragile heart, everything isn't working quiet right in your head is it? I've heard of this Malchior fella of yours. He messed with the dark magic, didn't he? It can mess with even the strongest of people. But you're not that strong so who knows what the hell it's doing to you. But you should face the fact Raven," he paused and leaned in closer so I had nowhere to look but his masked eyes. "that you're a demon, a demon that's meant to destroy the world, and no one on this planet, or in their right mind would waste their time to love a piece of pathetic trash like you." There it was, the snap. I felt it deep with in the depths of my brain, the snap of my mind losing itself. Tears rimmed the corners of my eyes and I felt my heart sink into my stomach. Before Red X could enjoy his victory there was a sudden blue explosion and it sounded like he went crashing through the museum window.
