Chapter six: Where is up and where is down?
The titans searched in the entire city but they couldn't find Red X. Some of them got back to the tower. They knew it was dangerous that Red X could have Raven's powers so they continued the search from the tower. Robin, Raven and Kid Flash used the cameras around the city to see if there was any signal of Red X while the others made scans through the city.
-I don't see anything Robin!
-Me neither Kid Flash but let's continued searching
-Wait! Red X said that it was Doctor Chang's experiment!
-And so...?
-Raven! You're right?
-What? Am I missing something important?
-Doctor Chang's lair! That's the place where Red X went when he needed Xenothium! Star! –Robin shouted through the communicator –Go to Doctor Chang's lair. I'll find you there! You two stay here and continue the search!
-Yes... –But Robin was already gone
-He's quickly! –Kid Flash said sarcastically
-This isn't a game Kid Flash... –Raven said as she continued searching on the cameras
-I know –He took her and threw her over the couch so quickly that she didn't notice
-What are you...? –Kid Flash tongue was inside Raven's mouth by that moment. She pushed him a little so they got separated a little –You gotta be kidding me! It a terrible moment and you wanna play?
-I won't let you take me by surprise like before –Kid Flash said as he moved completely over her. He was about to kiss her again but she turned her face to the big screen where all the cameras could be seen –Come on Rae! You want me to beg you?
-I'm doing my work Kid Flash! Robin ordered us to... –He took her by her chin, making her turn around
-I know... Just before it's too late... –He kissed her tenderly make her blush. She put her cold arms around his neck making him shiver a little. She let go making her hands go to her face
-I'm sorry... I never thought I would be so cold... –He took her hands and put them on his chest
-Can you feel it?
-What?
-My heart. It's happy... It's yours... –Raven stared at him again. She pushed him throwing him down of the couch –Ouch!
-I'm sorry... She lied down on the floor next to him and put her ear over his chest –You're right... He's happy... –He kissed her forehead where her chakra used to be and was about to kiss her lips when suddenly his communicator sounded
-Kid Flash!
-What is it boss? –He said getting up and sitting on the couch. She stayed sitting on the floor and put her head against his legs
-We need you two in here! NOW!
-We'll be there... On a Flash! –In one second Kid Flash and Raven were standing next to Robin. Starfire had Red X tied up with his own Xenothium. Cyborg and Beast Boy arrived one second later.
-Dude! The only way to trap this guy is with his own arm! –Beast Boy said as he stared at Red X who was unconscious.
-It wasn't so easy. Here is the stone –Robin said as he took the little stone out of his belt. –And there is what Red X was going to use to get your powers –He said as he showed them a big canyon –And know it's time Raven... –She got to a table and lied down on it. Robin put the stone on its place and moved a little stick from remove to add. He shot to Raven and everyone heard her cry in pain. When the ray stopped, Raven was unconscious. Her hair started to change slowly back to its original color. Her skin came pale and gray again. She opened her eyes slowly and sat down on the table
-Are you ok Raven? –Robin asked as all the titans stared at her in silence
-Azarath Metrion Zinthos! –The stone, covered in black energy, came floating to Raven's hand –Yes, Robin, I'm fine now. I'm back!
Kid Flash was sitting on the roof of the tower. The stars were so bright and the moon was so full and beautiful.
Will she...Will she care about me again, now that she can't show her emotions?
-Of course I will silly boy! –Kid Flash turned around and saw Raven approaching to him
-I think that means your powers are completely back –He smiled at her
-Yes they are but that doesn't mean that my feelings have changed. Don't smile at me with that sad smile. I think I've showed you how I feel about you
-I know but it's hard for me... You can't show your emotions and I'm someone that shows them easily. It's just not so easy...
-No one said it will be easy... –She put her hand over his –Let's just put the dramatics behind and don't make this more difficult... –He turned to face her. His face approached to her and their lips touched in a soft kiss
-It was time... –Robin whispered in the darkness as he left his friends alone
