Disclaimer: you know I don't own it, so don't make me say it.
I know I have 'The Experiment' still, but this has been in my mind for a while. The Experiment will be updated soon. I finally got off of school so I will have a lot of time now to type!!!!! yay!!!!! XD
Raven sat by her window, watching the rain pour into the bay. Her thoughts were on a certain traffic light- dressed man. She sighed, tired of him haunting her mind. She stood up gracefully and swept out of her room. She walked down the corridors. I need to tell him. Even though he's going out with Starfire, he needs to know, Raven thought as she passed Starfire's room. He has been haunting my mind since this crush has taken bloom. Maybe it will settle if he knows. She kept walking, thinking this thought in her head over and over again.
She made it to Robin's room and stepped in front of the door. She was about to knock when she heard voices coming from inside the room.
"Starfire, will you marry me?" Robin asked calmly and confidently. Raven's eyes brimmed with tears. She closed them, chanting her mantra in her head to calm her emotions. She opened them again and listened to the voices inside.
"Oh, Robin, of course I will take your hand in marriage!" Starfire exclaimed happily. Raven closed her eyes and turned around, picturing the scene from behind the door: Robin on one knee on the floor, Starfire sitting oh so perfectly on the bed, him speaking, then she hugging him excitedly and kindly, for once.
Raven started walking away, when Robin's door opened. "Raven, please come here. I have some very important news to share with you," Starfire exclaimed. Raven took a couple deep breaths then turned around and walked to Starfire. When she was in front, Starfire extended her hand and showed Raven the sparkling, small, emerald diamond resting on her ring finger. "Isn't it just amazing? Robin proposed to me just now!"
"That is amazing Starfire. I am very happy for you both," Raven said, taking a glance at Robin, who was standing by his bed. He nodded, not noticing the strain in her voice. She looked back at Starfire and nodded her head and walked off to her room. Starfire looked at Robin curiously.
"Raven seemed, down, as you would put it," Starfire said to Robin. He nodded his head. He knew she had had a crush on him for a while, but didn't say anything about it. He thought of her as a sister/brother relationship, not what she had in mind.
"C'mon Star, let's go tell everyone else," Robin said, walking to Starfire and linking her arm with his. She nodded excitedly. They walked off towards the common room.
************
Once Raven was safe inside her room, she let the tears fall. She didn't care about her powers right now. She needed to let it out. She pressed her back to the door and slid to the ground. She stayed like that for a while, not caring about the books, candles, bed sheets, and other various things flying around and blowing up.
She took a deep breath and chanted her mantra after a few minutes of crying. Once her emotions were calmed, the alarm went off. She ran to her mirror and checked her face. Luckily, it didn't look like she had cried for a while. Her cheeks were a little red, but that was it. She then phased to the common room. She saw everyone there and walked over to the giant computer.
"Who?" Raven asked. Cyborg looked up from the screen and eyed her.
"Have you been working out? You look a little flushed," He said. Raven looked away.
"Who?"
"Red X," Beast Boy said, answering her question. She nodded.
"Titans Go!" Robin shouted. Starfire grabbed Robin's arms and flew off towards the site. Beast Boy changed into an eagle and followed them. Raven changed into her energy raven and grabbed Cyborg and phased to the mall.
Raven and Cyborg were there first, followed by the other three. The trio was completely soaked thanks to the rain. Cyborg snickered earning a glare from Robin. Red X materialized in front of the group.
"Hey kids. I see you guys don't quit," Red X said, smirking beneath his mask. Robin scowled and got into a battle pose. The others followed.
"I see it's time you should quit, or we'll make you," Robin said. At this, Cyborg punched his fist into his other hand. "TITANS GO!"
Robin ran, throwing his freeze-discs at Red X. Red X threw a couple of sticky Xs that caught them. He then threw an X at Beast Boy. Beast Boy changed into a fly and missed it. The X was like a boomerang though, and caught Beast Boy as a fly, forcing him to stay that way.
Starfire watched Beast Boy entombed in the X fall to the floor. She was about to catch him when Raven came from the floor and caught him with her magic. She set him down and disappeared again. Starfire, who was sure Beast Boy was fine, flew off after Red X in pursuit. Red X meanwhile was fighting off Cyborg. He threw a bomb straight at his chest. Cyborg aimed his cannon and shot the bomb. The bomb blew up upon impact and blasted Starfire into a clothes shop wall, hurting her. Cyborg was blown into a window. He tried to get up, but his arms and legs were blown off from his body.
"Starfire!" Robin exclaimed, running to the fallen hero. He kneeled beside her and helped her up. Red X watched this and snuck behind the two. "Are you okay?" He asked, panicky.
"I will be fine," Starfire whispered. Red X took this time and took out three Xs.
"Hey Robin," X said. Robin turned around. He got up and threw a couple of punches at X. Red X chuckled and threw the Xs at Robin. Robin ducked and missed the first two, but didn't see the third, and got caught in a similar predicament as Beast Boy. As he fell, Red X dusted his hands off. "Well, I guess I'll just take off now."
"I don't think so," Red X turned around in shock and met face to face with a glowing Raven. She was in the air, waiting for him to make the first move.
"I see I forgot about you, being quiet and all. I just don't notice you," Red X said. Raven stayed emotionless. "Try and catch me." Red X ran of into the rain. Raven chased him. She spotted him in the fog. He was getting on his motorcycle. Raven glared and lifted her hand.
"Azarath Metrion Zinthos!" Raven yelled. Black energy shot out of her hand and captured his bike. He jumped of as it lifted of the ground. Raven growled in frustration and threw the bike into the mall, crushing it to smithereens. She flew after the running Red X. He grabbed an X and flung it at Raven. She blasted it with her magic and started blasting where Red X was running. Red X found another X that grew as it hit the object it was thrown at and chucked it at Raven. She tried to dodge it, but it hit the tip of her cape and weighed her down. She fell to the ground. It grew slowly. Red X walked up to Raven.
"I didn't think that would work," Red X smirked. Raven looked up at him and glared daggers. The thing was growing. It reached her knees.
Things flew from the mall's roof. They turned out to be her teammates flying of towards the tower. Raven looked up and waved her arms in the rain. They didn't notice her.
"Looks like I'm not the only person that doesn't notice you," Red X said. Raven stared at him. She tried to hide the hurt in her eyes, but she failed. Red X saw the hurt in her eyes. "Hey, hey I wasn't really meaning it," Red X tried to sound reassuring. Raven looked at the goo that was swallowing her. It was up to her waist.
"Why are you still here?" Raven asked, ignoring his statement he just said.
"Cause if I left, you will die," He replied.
"Well you clearly aren't helping, are you?"
"Give me a chance," He said. He bent down and took out a pocket knife.
"Why are you going to free me? Didn't you put me into this?" She asked as he cut away the goo. Once it left Raven's body, it shrunk and died away.
"Truthfully, babe, I thought you were going to miss it." He replied, cutting the last of it off. She got up and looked up at him.
"Thank you, I guess," Raven said. He nodded and stuck his hands out. "Go. I don't feel like dealing with people today." Red X looked at her in disbelief. She nodded towards town and phased into the ground. He stared at the spot and decided one thing: I owe her something.
Sorry if the fight scene sucked. I have a hard time describing that kind of thing.
