A large dust cloud could be seen blooming from a seemingly deserted warehouse.
"Ah-ah-ah!" came a tutting voice. "Naughty children must be punished~" Another explosion sent shards of crates and concrete scattering in every direction.
Kyd Wykkyd shuddered as the dust settled, holding his chest where a good-sized gash now laid. He looked up wearily at where his fallen teammates lie strewn over the floor. Blood, tattered cloth and stolen items rested around and next to them. He shivered again and shrunk away from the figure floating toward him. Wykkyd propped himself against a still remaining crate, wheezing.
"Crap.." he cursed mentally. The figure hovered above him, smiling.
"You can't escape your punishment for your bad behavior~!" the sing-song voice chirped happily. Kyd Wykkyd gulped and bit his lip. Taking his hand from his gaping wound, he gripped his cloak, twirling it over himself and teleporting away, unaware of where he was even taking himself. As long as it wasn't here that didn't really matter.
Raven tossed in bed again. She hadn't slept right since their last fight against the H.I.V.E. Five. She had almost gotten smashed by rubble. iAgain./i The demoness gritted her teeth. She hated being the damsel in distress. With a groan she sat up, and slid off of her dark bed. Perhaps a drink of water or maybe even some herbal tea would ease her mind. Raven looked down at her black pajamas and decided she didn't really need to change. The other Titans left not long ago to go check out a reported bombing in the Downtown district and Robin insisted she relax at the tower and cool off from the earlier fight. Since no one was home, no one would see her in her 'casual' wear and she thus had no need to change. She opened her door and almost fell backwards at the bloody heap outside of her room.
Raven turned her room's barely used lights on and saw the dark mass had a face. She hovered over it and gasped slightly.
"Who.. Kyd Wykkyd..?" she asked herself. "What is he doing here! What -happened to him!?"
The pastel-purple boy made a pained face then dropped his head to the side. Raven knelt to the wounded villain, unsure if she should help him or not. It would be very un-hero-like of her to let him bleed out on the floor. She sighed and activated her magic, pressing her hand to his chest. He managed to make a hissing motion through clenched teeth at the contact with his raw wound.
"I know it hurts, but I can't let you die." she gave a flat response to his weak protesting. "Yet." she added, trying to sound darker than she was. Wykkyd looked up at her lazily. Raven furrowed her brows.
"Don't even think about it, Owl Boy. You're not going unconscious unless you want to keep bleeding out here." Raven frowned again, making him smile at her evil nature. He nodded, keeping his gaze on her. She flustered slightly. "What a weird guy."
Raven continued to heal him until his chest bared only a thin, long cut.
"That's all I can do right now." she curled her lips down slightly. "Can you get up?" Wykkyd looked up at her again, eyes foggy. The sorceress' lips pulled up into a sneer. "Fine. I'll help you." she managed to get out from her frown and bent down, wrapping an arm around his back and resting his arm over her neck. She lifted him up and then up onto his feet, gaining little to no help from the half asleep boy in question.
"What are you trying to do?" She stared at him begrudgingly. "Help me!" Kyd Wykkyd smiled again and tried to steady himself, in the process leaning flush against Raven's front, nearly making her squeak by the close contact. The dark girl looked down the long hallway then back to her room and, unhappily, decided that it'd be easier to take him into her room than stumble down the hall and up to the infirmary. She bit back spite as she led the woozy boy into her untouched room against everything her body told her. Raven looked around her room and then sighed in defeat at finding her bed was the only proper place to set him. She gently lowered him down and then gripped his shoulders, shaking him lightly to keep him upright and awake.
"Stay awake." she ordered and left into her bathroom. Kyd Wykkyd blinked slowly, sleep begging to overcome him. He let out a silent sigh and closed his eyes, hunching over slightly. It was difficult to stay awake after giving more than his all in the fight with that 'hero'.
Raven returned carrying a box of medical supplies and made an irritated face at the near-sleeping form on her bed. She walked over to him and dropped the box on his lap, startling him and making him look up at her.
"I said stay awake!" she growled and knelt down, unraveling a roll of gauze. "Damn villains."
Wykkyd looked down at the gauze and then, realizing what it was for, began to remove his gloves and shirt. He pulled at the top of his suit but evidently did not have the energy or mentality to take it completely off. Raven gritted her teeth again and stood up more, unlatching his cape and successfully removing his shirt. She tossed them on the floor and took another look at the pale teen. He was virtually asleep, red eyes closed into twitching slits. The demoness touched under his mask to remove it, but paused. "It's wrong to take off a super's mask."
She nodded to herself. That would be like removing Robin's mask, which would piss him off greatly no doubt. Raven took a bottle out of the box and dabbed a greasy ointment onto her fingers. She began to carefully trace around and on the wound. The sorceress then pressed a neatly folded pad of dressing over the mark, holding it there with her telekinesis. She then picked up the gauze once more and started wrapping Wykkyd's pallid chest with it, making sure the dressing stayed firmly on the cut. With one last pull of the gauze she added a pin to keep the make-shift bandage from slipping down. Raven looked up at her 'patient' and growled again.
"How many times do I have to tell you that you can't sleep here!" she shouted at him as she rose from the ground. He didn't move. Raven inwardly kicked herself for letting him into her room in the first place. She rubbed her temples with her fingertips irritably before picking up more gauze to wrap areas on his arm. Once she finished, both of Kyd Wykkyd's biceps and his left wrist were all wrapped skillfully. Raven gripped his shoulders again, shaking him a little harder than before.
"Wake up! I don't want you sleeping on my bed!" she hissed before releasing him. The villain slumped again without her holding him up before falling backwards onto her bed. Raven twitched in anger as she watched Kyd Wykkyd sleep on top of her bed. Her hand raised, black energy circling around it before the pale boy rolled over onto his left, nuzzling into the dark purple comforter and smiling in his sleep. The sorceress let the energy in her hand deplete and slumped unhappily. She couldn't hit that boy, not right now; perhaps when he wasn't bandaged up and being so disgustingly innocent. She dropped onto the bed next to him and turned on her knees to face him. Holding under his arms, she pulled Wykkyd up so he was laying on the bed normally and covered his broken body with her sheets and comforter.
"Karma better remember this act of kindness." she mumbled before crawling into the bed on the far left side. She wanted as much distance between the H.I.V.E Five member and herself as possible. Raven squirmed and rolled over, only to see a pale smiling face not a foot in front of her's. She growled and slunk back, pushing him away as she did and putting a pillow between her and Wykkyd. She rolled over once more, facing the wall of her room. Slowly her eyes began to close. At least now she could sleep.
Author's notes:
Haha finally! :D My first chapter story in years! I know not many people like Wykkyd/Raven, mostly because he's such a wallflower. :/ HE NEEDED MORE SCREEN TIME.
Anyway, I hope you all like this! I don't know how many chapters this is going to be, and the rating will change from T-M depending on what I feel like putting in here ;D
Review please!
