Rae POV
After talking to Robin I take my tea and head up to the roof to meditate. I'm going to start needing extra meditation time. Last night, Jason's apartment was torn up. He didn't seem to mind. Though, he just got laid so why would he mind? My powers reached out and destroyed pretty much everything in his apartment.
So if this is going to work, meditation time is vital.
I have to admit, I do like the difference between Robin and Red-X. It's like the best of both worlds. It makes me not mind waiting for Robin as much. I'm still unsure of what Robin's waiting for, but I don't think I care anymore.
So, what? When Robin does come around, I just forget about X and leave him behind? I couldn't… could I? Okay, so I guess that's the first thing on my list.
Do NOT get emotionally attached to Red-X in ANY way.
Robin is starting to suspect something. Which really sucks. More sneaky just leads to more suspicion. So how do I fix this?
"Penny for your thoughts, Chickadee?"
I fall from the air and onto my butt. I slowly stand up, rubbing my backside, and send him a glare.
"Maybe. How about a dollar? Sorry, but my thoughts are much more expensive than your tiny brain can handle," I muse.
Red-X just looks at me. I can almost feel his smirk. "Oh, but I know for a fact that you come much cheaper than that. Besides, just like last night, the best things in life are free."
I raise an eyebrow and cross my arms across my chest, shifting my weight onto one foot.
"Excuse me?"
"You heard me. But listen, I came here to tell you something."
"And what would that be?" I ask, already annoyed.
He hesitates and wrings his hands, seemingly nervous and unsure of what he's about to say. "I want to take you out tonight," he declared. "Just once. I want to show you that I'm not all that bad."
I just look at him. I don't think he understands that we, he and I, have a relationship that is strictly… sex.
Yeah, I don't even want a relationship with him. I have a relationship with Robin. If I wanted a night on the town, it'd be Robin that I go to. Though X did help me. And he does seem slightly sincere.
"Okay, X. I'll take you up on that offer," I agree.
"Cool. But this is a one time only thing. Just wanna prove to you that I can be different…"
"Okay." I pick up a rock and toss it back and forth in my hands. Then, in a quick movement, I turn and chuck it at X. He catches it, of course.
"GO! Before someone sees you!" I command. "And don't come back here… EVER!"
He laughs a bit, "You sure I can't stop by your room first? Maybe you and I could take a trip up to your bedroom right now…"
"No. I'll see you tonight."
"At seven. See you tonight, Sunshine."
Then he disappeared, as usual. Though I do like that mysterious side of him. And I continue to meditate.
"Going somewhere?" Cyborg asked. He's standing in my door way, as I stood in front of my mirror, leaned on his back on the side, arms crossed.
"Out," I reply, eyeing him from the mirror, smoothing down my shirt. I'm donning a black tank top with a black net t-shirt over it, tight dark wash ripped jeans, and black converse.
He walks in fully, making sure the door is closed and locked behind him. "It's not right what you're doin', Rae."
"Huh?" I ask, turning to meet eye contact.
"Robin's a good guy. You're really hurting him," Cy informs me. Oh Boy. He knows.
"How'd you find out?" I panic. Does Robin know too?
"It's pretty obvious. But I'm the only one who noticed your absence and sneaking around. But Star is too naïve, BB doesn't care enough to notice, and Robin's too smitten and blinded by love. Red-X, Raven? Really?"
I look down at my feet, he hugs me and pats my back.
"You're going to have to break this off soon, Rae. I hope you realize what you're getting yourself into. You have a good thing goin, Rae. Don't mess it up."
I smile and nod, "Please don't tell him…" I whisper.
"I won't," he promised. "Now go. I'll cover for you. But I won't like it."
"Thank you."
Cyborg POV
I walk down to the kitchen. That girl is gonna get herself into a lot of trouble someday. She'll learn eventually. Poor Robin. Yeah, he's supposedly the 'greatest detective in Jump City'. Psshhh. Not even close if he can't see what's right in front of him. I wont intervene. Scratch that, I already did. I won't bother Robin about it. What he doesn't know will hurt him in the future. I walk into the kitchen and look around.
"Alright Y'all! I have an idea! Let's go to the carnival-fair-thingy!" I put on a wide smile and pump my fist in the air.
"I HEAR YA!" BB agrees fist-pounding me.
"Most glorious idea, friend Cyborg!" Starfire says, flying over to me and BB.
"Yeah, sure. Lemme go get Rae," Robin smiles.
I grab his arm as he tries to walk down the hall, "She doesn't wanna go. She barricaded herself in her room," I inform him.
"Yeah, but maybe if I talk to her she'll-"
"No," I cut him off, "You know how she is. She doesn't want to come. Leave her be."
"Oh. Maybe I should just stay with her then…"
"NO!" I shout. Everyone just looks at me with wide eyes. "It's uh… her time of the month?"
"No it's not…" Robin argues.
"Okay. Just leave her alone, Robin. She told me not to let anyone bother her."
At this point I see a hurt expression cross his face.
"Okay," He agrees.
Rae POV
I stare at X incredulously, then take a look at my surroundings. "A carnival?" I ask him, "Really?"
"Well, yeah. I guess it is rather cliché, but whatever. I thought it'd be fun! Just you and-"
"Oh, yes," I roll my eyes, "I love carnivals."
"Chill out, Sunshine. It'll be fun. Consider this foreplay for tonight," He winked before getting out of the car. He walked around the vehicle and opened the door for her. He gave extended his hand politely and I just ignored it.
"Foreplay? I thought you said you were being different?"
"Uh, I am. I mean I just opened the door for you. What more could you want?"
He was just Jason tonight. Not X.
"I like you the normal way you are, you know that, right? You don't need to put on this gentleman act."
"Who said it's an act? And you like me?" His eyebrows arched.
I scowled. I didn't mean to let that slip out, "Not really. But I guess in some sort of twisted way, yes. I do like you."
"Ouch. You know that hurt, Rae. Deeply. And here I thought we were in love and what we had really meant something…" His words were drenched in sarcasm and sprinkled in mock hurt.
"Har har. I hate you."
"I love you too. Now what do you want to do first?"
I looked up. The first thing I saw was the ferris wheel, "Big wheel thing," I suggest lamely.
He laughs, "Well don't you sound enthusiastic," he mused.
"Yeah okay," I reply as we get on.
We both sit in the cart and it begins to spin. He drapes his arm around my shoulders.
"You know, this could work out," he mentions.
"What?"
"Us."
"Hmmm. I guess. Not that we have anything."
"What do you mean?" he asks.
He knows what I mean. He just wants me to say it. He wants me to admit I'm using him. He's trying to guilt me.
"Well, let's put it this way, you are a thief. I'm a hero."
"Arrogant much?" He winks.
"No, it just doesn't work that way."
"Anything to change your mind?"
I shrug and give him a cheeky smile. We're almost to the top of the ferris wheel at this point. He leans in and presses his lips to mine. He slips his tongue into my mouth and we start that never ending battle for dominance.
Normal Pov
They had been there for an hour now. The rest of the Titans that is.
"What have we missed?" Cyborg asked.
"THE FERRIS WHEEL!" Beast Boy exclaimed.
"Yes. We have over looked the giant spinning wheel," Starfire agreed.
Robin just stood there with his jaw dropped.
"What's wrong? No, Robin. It is NOT a plane OR superman, it's just a bird." Cyborg informed him.
"Is that… It can't be…" He started.
"What?" Starfire asked concerned.
"Raven?" He yelled, dropping his cotton candy.
Cyborg looked up and mentally cursed himself for being so daft.
"No! That's just-"
"A RANDOM PURPLE-HAIRED SUPERHERO?"
"Calm down, probably just a fan."
"Did you hear that?" Raven pushed Jason away.
"What?" Jason asked, slightly boggled from the kiss ending so abruptly.
"Someone called my name…"
"I didn't hear anything," He lied.
She looked down and spotted Robin right away.
"SHIT! He sees me! I hope he didn't see me kissing you…"
"DID YOU SEE HER KISSING THAT SCUM?"
"No!" Cyborg lied. "She wasn't kissing him. They're just talking. She didn't want me to tell you this but… her cousin is in town and he doesn't know she's a superhero. She was gonna meet him and tell him so he won't freak out…"
"But if he's her cousin, wouldn't he know about the prophecy and her powers?" Robin reasoned.
"Well, it's uh, her mom got married again, and her step-dad has a sister. Who had a son… that's full mortal…?"
Robin seemed to buy it, "So, she's on a secret date with her cousin?"
"Sure?" Cyborg agreed.
"MOST GLORIOUS!" Star cried out.
"Who cares?" Beast Boy asked.
"Robin. You know what, we'll let Robin take care of this on his own. We'll just go on the Scrambler again," Cyborg decided, pulling Beast Boy and Starfire away.
"No he probably didn't notice us…" Jason comforted her. "Don't worry about it."
"Don't worry?" She shouts, "How can I not worry? Oh, God. I knew this was a bad idea," She dropped her head into her hands.
He hated to say it but he looked at her and said, "It's fine, I'll say I'm your brother."
She threw her arms around him in a quick hug, "Thank you soo much! You know, you really are a good guy," She smiled.
"Yeah, yeah. Whatever."
They both hopped out of the cart and walked over to Robin. He didn't look too happy.
"Hey, Robin, what're you doing here?" Raven asked delicately.
"You're not going to introduce me to you're friend?" He replied with a smirk.
"Oh, sorry," Jason started, "I'm Jason. Raven's brother," he held out his hand.
Robin ignored it. "Brother? Cyborg said cousin…"
He knows… Raven cursed herself.
Jason exchanged a look with Raven then quickly corrected himself.
"Sorry, my mind is a bit lost today…" Jason apologized.
"Yes. Robin, this is my COUSIN, Jason. Jason, this is my boyfriend," Raven introduced.
Robin walked over to Raven and wrapped his arm around her, claiming his territory.
The air between the three grew silent and awkward.
"I have to pee!" Raven excused herself running to the bathroom.
Robin gave it a second then turned to Jason, "Who are you?"
"Jason. I'm Rae's cousin."
"Ok. Now let's hear the truth."
"That was the truth."
"You're lying. If you're having an affair with Raven I swear to God, I will-"
Jason cut him off, "If you break her heart, I swear to God I will do exactly the same. You have a good girl on your hands. Don't mess it up. Another guy will take her right out from under you if you don't watch yourself. If I had a girl like Raven, I'd treat her right and never let her go. But if you do break her heart, it'll be the last heart you ever break, because I will kill you."
Robin smirked, obviously not seeing him as a threat, "Fair enough."
In the bathroom…
"I TOLD YOU TO COVER FOR ME! NOT BRING THE REST OF THE TEAM TO SPY ON MY FUCKING DATE!" Raven yelled at Cyborg through the communicator.
"Well, how was I supposed to know that you'd be there?"
"Uh! I don't know, common sense? You knew we wouldn't be at the tower! Why couldn't you bring them there?"
"They'd try to bother you!"
"Ugh! What ever, I'll get rid of him."
"Which one?" Cyborg asked.
"Who cares, which ever leaves first." She closed her communicator and walked out of the bathroom and back to the two men.
"Did you guys find anything to talk about?" She asked linking arms with the two of them.
"Oh, definitely," Jason replied smoothly.
"Well, Robin, I'm heading to Jason's apartment. He just moved in and I told him I'd help him get his stuff unpacked."
"Maybe I could help?" he suggested.
"NO!" she replied a bit too quickly. "I mean, they need you at the tower. Alert me if you need anything," She said, quickly pecking him on the cheek.
He shot Jason a glare before pulling Raven in and pressing his lips against hers in a heated kiss. His kiss wasn't like the others he gave. This one was rough and hard. Raven quickly fell into the kiss. When they finished, he winked at her and walked away to find Cyborg and the rest.
Jason grabbed Raven's wrist and held her in a tight grasp.
Rae POV
I look over at him, my breath hitched and my heart racing. He doesn't have that usual cocky grin of his, more like an indecisive expression. I pull the covers over my bare body, sweat running down his neck.
"You coming back tomorrow?" he asks, pulling me closer.
"Can't. I'm going out with Robin."
His face falls and he lets me go, turning and shutting the light next to the bed off.
I turn on my side with a frown, and go to sleep.
