Here's another chapter If I am slow on updating this, it's because I'm super focused on my other story, The Cruelest Letter: X. I have a little trouble writing this one sometimes. But I am working through the block!

13brokenhearted13- I love your idea about Red X being Robin, and I think that'd make a fabulous story itself to be honest. But with the way im taking the plot, I don't think it would work in this one. /: I'd really love to do a story like that though.:) Or if you write, i'd love to read it.
Kimberly6731- Yeah Raven is easy to dislike now, but she won't be that way forever. And her own inner turmoil is building too. Sometimes its the slutty girls who are in the most pain...ha.
Thank you to everyone else who reviewed, made my day:D
"Come with me?"
Raven stared at the villain before her, her heart pounding. He was standing in her window, his arm outstretched, his hand offering to take her. Raven felt her hand glide over to his. He gripped her and they took off. She thought about what would happen if one of the other titans saw them together. Especially Robin.
Red X led her into a heavily wooded area, a place where a few houses existed but not much else. There was a small pond, which really was beautiful, completely fresh and blue. He stopped and pointed upwards at a tree house. It was rather large for a tree house, covered in spray painted pictures and KEEP OUT signs. A rope ladder led the way up to the carved in doorway.
"Where are we?" Raven finally asked, once she had followed him up the ladder.
He smiled as he removed his mask. Raven's eyes wandered to his face, seeing it for only the second time. It was odd and uncanny how much he reminded her of Robin. She felt her head pound, a small blinding pain that felt white hot.
"This was my tree house." He grinned, "I grew up right over there." He pointed to a small house, which was now pretty worn out, its lawn untidy and overgrown.
She looked around the tree house, her eyes falling onto a pile of magazines. She picked one of the magazines up. It was a guys magazine, complete with half naked girls on every other page.
"So, what exactly did you do up in this tree house?" She raised a teasing eyebrow at him, feeling slightly amused.
He grabbed the magazine away from her, laughing a bit, "Hey, that wasn't ALL I did. There weren't a lot of girls around here. I needed a view of something."
Raven wrestled it back from him and flipped through the pages, "These women are all so beautiful. They look like Starfire."
Red X gave Raven a curious look, "Raven, I think you're more beautiful than any of these women." She would've laughed, but his face was so serious.
She looked down at herself. Today she had chosen a pair of white shorts and a tight black, figure hugging T-shirt. Her hair was in its now usual messy curls, and her make up was done to perfection. She put so much effort into herself these days, she hardly read anymore. She found her passion for reading and new knowledge dull now. She craved something more, something she couldn't quite define.
"Kiss me." She said at last, the words bursting from her mouth. It was odd, she felt like the hadn't even produced the sentence. Sometimes it felt like words kept coming out, almost out of her control.
Red X looked surprised, "Okay."
He leaned forward and kissed her, happy to oblige to her demand. Her full lips worked against his thinner ones, a perfect combination. He felt her hand run through his hair, making his spine shiver. He slowly slid his hands along her thighs, not wanting to rush her. He had thought he was too sexually advanced for her, but it was Raven who made all the moves.
Their make out session continued for a long while, and finally Red X pulled back.
"Raven, I want you."
She bit her lip. A wave on confusion hit her. Her head pounded harder. She wanted him too, but there was something she couldn't describe. She felt like she should feel guilt at the fact that she had a slight fling with Robin. Yet, she found that she didn't care much. The thought scared her.
"So take me." She ran her hand through his hair again, this time tugging at the dark locks.
He took her hand into his. "First, I want to tell you something."
Raven cocked her head, "What is it?"
"My name is Jason."
She looked him over, "Well hello Jason. Do you mind if I call you X?"
"Sure," He looked confused, "I mean, why though?"
"It's a sexy nickname." She winked and covered his mouth with hers.
Red X nodded, but felt himself wandering off into his own thoughts. It confused him how much Raven acted differently than before. Sure, he hadn't actually known her all that well, but he had admired her intelligent sense of humor and sarcastic tendencies. It confused him how little she showed of either now.
"So what are you going to do with me?" She eyed him seductively.
He kissed her again, "I'm going to take you home for now. The titans will be wondering where you are by now. I'll come see you later tonight."
Raven nodded, annoyed. "Okay."
Red X took her back, but couldn't help but wonder what was up with her. There was something different. And he intended to find out what it was.
Knock, knock.
Robin looked up from his computer. He had been researching a new finding on Slade. It seemed like Slade was up to something. There were spottings of him, but Robin wasn't sure what Slade would be up to or why he would be showing himself.
Knock, knock.
Robin let out a sigh of annoyance, but walked to his door. It was Starfire. She had on a thick, heavy white robe that covered most of her body. Her hair was in vivacious waves, and she was wearing a lot of mascara.
"Yeah, Star?" He felt a weird feeling staring at her. He couldn't help but think that something was bound to happen.
Starfire pushed her way into the room and closed his door behind her, locking it. She untied her robe and let it fall to the ground. Underneath, she was wearing a lacy corset, purple and black. Her underwear was sheer and matched, while her stocking were pure black with little bows.
Robin tried to stop his eyes from searching over her body, but he couldn't help but look her over. She was attractive, and the colors suited her well. It was odd to see her in anything dark, but it was a sexy change. He ignored the thought, remembering that she had kissed other boys when with him.
"Starfire," He groaned, "What are you doing?"
"You seem to like dark so much lately I thought i'd see if you liked it on me." She twirled, revealing the thong back to the underwear. Robin practically had to slap himself in the face to stop staring.
"Star, why are you doing this?"
She glared at him, "So you let Raven seduce you but not me?" She pouted and crossed her arms.
"Look, Starfire," He sat down on his bed and motioned for her to sit next to him, "Please stop comparing yourself so much to Raven. I did have feelings for you, but I just don't feel the same anymore. I hope in time that you accept this."
Starfire let out a low growl, "Whatever, Robin. But you will regret giving me up, that I promise." She made a show of putting back on her robe and stomping out.
Robin sprawled out onto his bed. Why were all these girls coming onto him? Raven was being the queen of mixed signals, while Starfire just parades around trying to seduce him at anytime. He concluded that there must be some kind of hormone change in the atmosphere.
"So hows that girl you've been seeing?"
Tliar and Red X were sitting at the bar again. Red X had needed to clear his mind a bit, and decided getting in a drink or two would help. Out here, he was simply known at Jason. Girls always flirted with him, friends flocked to him, and no one had a clue that he was a thief. It was a relief to jump into this world once in a while. Tliar was his only friend her knew about his alter identity, but that was because Tliar was the same way. He went by Tyler, which was actually the same pronunciation as his real name.
''It's good, but odd." Red X looked at his friend, "I feel like shes almost not the same girl."
"Yeah, that happens. In like, every relationship. Its a typical girl." Tliar laughed and signaled the bartender for another beer.
"But, this isn't any typical girl," He nervously watched as the bartender set down the drink, "Look, can you keep another secret?"
"Obviously." Tliar rolled his eyes.
"The girl is Raven. Shes the one on the teen titans. She's a hero. She's dark, she's so much different from other girls."
Tliar's eyes almost popped out of his head as he choked on the beer, "Are you kidding me?"
"Uh, no, why?" Red X knew it was surprising, but Tliar was sure making a big deal of it.
"She was my last job. This dude, went by Slain or Slayer, I think, paid me to do it. She was the girl I made out with."
Red X felt a little bit of anger and jealously swell up into him, but he pushed it back, "Why would someone pay you to do that?"
"He said it gave him control over emotions, or something. I didn't really understand or care, I didn't see any significance." He looked up at Red X, an apologetic look on his face, "I didn't mean to kiss your girl."
"She wasn't my girl at the time. She technically still isn't. But I need to tell her this."
Tliar held a hand up, "Whoa, whoa. That goes against my privacy policy. I wasn't even supposed to tell you."
He glared back at his friend, "I have to. I'm not going to let whatever this plan is hurt her."
Tliar nodded, "Right, right..." He trailed off.
Red X didn't want to hear what Tliar had to say next. He took off, leaving his friend alone at the bar.
Some of this chapter was mainly filler, but there was importance! Hope this helped reveal a clue. Well, obviously haha.
Please please review!
I would love to hear your thoughts:)
