I don't own The Teen Titans. Insane sadness.

Protest was the furthest thing from his mind as she furiously pressed her pale lips against his. He gently kissed her back, wrapping his arms around her petite waist.

Raven's mind was reeling with emotion. Her mind telling her that she should not be doing this at all, but at the same time, loving the sensation, and never wanting it to end. She ran her fingers lightly through his hair, still moving her lips passionately against his.

X had no idea why Raven had kissed him, because earlier it had seemed that she wanted nothing to do with him, and he couldn't begin to describe the pain that fact brought him. And just as he planned to finally let her be she tore off his mask, his identity clear to the world. And yet he couldn't care less.

They pulled back, both gasping for air.

They stood, in silence, just looking, looking at each other, trying to know what to do next. Raven's normally pale cheeks were burning crimson and she looked away, not meeting his unmasked eyes.

"Rae…" he trailed off, looking at her in wonder and astonishment.

She trembled under his glaze, rubbing her arms, trying to get rid of the piercing chill running through her body.

"X, I'm sorry, I don't know why I just did that and-"

she stopped as he pressed his mouth to hers, pulling her close to him. She sighed in pleasure, deepening the kiss.

They were there together, lost in their own romantic universe.

She pulled away for air, and looked for the first time at his unmasked face. He had pale skin, although not gray like her own, and black hair that flopped in his eyes slightly. But what she noticed most was that his eyes were the most brilliant green she had ever seen. They danced with light as he looked down at her.

"So…" she trailed off, looking at him nervously.

He grinned.

"So what?" he retorted playfully, cupping her cheek in his hand.

"You're not mad about the whole mask thing are you?" she asked worry evident in her voice.

He smirked. "No, I'm not."

"Thanks." she replied shyly.

They looked at each other for a long moment.

"So, what happens now?" he asked her teintively.

"I-I'm not sure." she whispered pulling away from his arms.

"Rae, please, don't go," he said, arms shaking in frustration.

She looked up at his earnest, pleading face. She closed her eyes, trying to clear her head.

"X, I don't really know anything about you. And I can't trust someone I don't know."

"Rae, I'll be glad to tell you anything you want." He spoke eagerly, smiling at her.

She stood, shock written on her face that he would so readily offer information about himself.

"You trust me not to run and squeal to my leader boyfriend?" she snapped harshly.

"Yeah, pretty much," he replied shrugging.

"Okay then," she said with her hands on her hips, "Let's start with the basics. What's your name?"

"Jason Todd."

She felt her heart stop.

"But you-"

"Yep, I know." he said, suddenly serious, "But you shouldn't believe everything you hear."

"Does anyone else know your death was fake?" she spoke, slightly unnerved.

He shook his head. "You're the only one."

That caused a faint blush on her face. But she quickly regained her hard expression.

"Wow, you actually managed to trick the dark knight. Very impressive." she said flatly.

He laughed at that. "I'm just that talented Sunshine."

"But why would you do that?" she frowned. "Everyone mourned you, I mourned you." she spoke softly.

He shifted uncomfortably. "And I'm sorry for that. It's that after my supposed death, the Joker was still after me," he paused, running a hand through his hair. " He would have tried to hurt me and those around me. My death was better for everyone… espcially me." His face turned dark. "Batman, the league, everyone thought that Dick," he stopped at her confused expression. "Robin, I mean, was better than me," he spat bitterly. "Even though when we sparred I could usually beat him." His mouth twisted into a rueful smile.

That sounds awful." she told him gently.

He shrugged indifferently. "Could have been worse. Could have died for real."

"I'm glad you didn't," she said, smiling softly, leaning back into him.

His eyes lit up. "Does this mean-?" he asked hopefully. She grinned as she looked up at him, eyes twinkling with a hint of mischief.

"I still must know more about you before I can decide if I really want to be with you."

He arched an eyebrow. "And that means?"

She laced her arms around his waist, placing her head against his chest.

"Lots more talking."

She smirked at the lost look on his face as her magic swirled around them both, teleporting them out of the park.

They materialized on the beach by the bay that overlooked Titans Tower.

With a small smile, Raven unlaced her arms from around his waist and plopped down on the ground. He next to her and looked at her curiously.

"What?" she asked.

"It's that, well, why did you take us here?" he spoke, gesturing to the beach around them.

"I thought it would be more pleasant than standing around in a park."

"Oh,"

He turned, still staring at her expectantly, as if waiting for something.

"What now?" she asked him.

"So what else do you want to know?" She smiled at him.

"Everything."

Jason smiled wryly, drawing his knees up to his chest, looking into the water, but not really seeing it.

Instead, memories burned in his vision.

A warehouse filled with fire-

An insane madman repeatedly beating his body with a crowbar till he screamed-

The ticking of a bomb 10 seconds from detontating-

"You might as well know…" he spoke voice flat and empty. He then began telling her of his past, the training with the Batman, of the horrors of the Joker, and how the Joker had killed him. As he spoke she had inched closer to him, lacing a pale arm around his torso, and resting her head on his shoulder. When he finished he lapsed into a moody silence.

"I think that's pretty impressive that you were able to survive all that." she smiled vaguely.

He turned to face her.

"Thanks," he mumbled. Suddenly he had a smart idea. "Your turn."

"What?"

"Your turn," he said deviously. "I told you about myself, now tell me about you."

Her expression turned from shocked to playful.

"Okay, I will. Tomorrow night."

A wild hope started to burn inside of him.

"Do you mean-?"

"I'll meet you at the pier tomorrow night. 8:00." she smiled at him, watching for his reaction.

"That sounds good." Then, before she could decide not to, she quickly kissed his cheek before teleporting away through a portal.

He sighed happily.

Isn't love wonderful? he thought before teleporting away.

Yay, so we know who Red X is now! I've always really liked the idea of Jason Todd as Red X. But I didn't go into it much now but I will later! As always please review!
