a TT fic

[Raeofdarkness]

Chapter One

Raven opened her chest, avoiding the white book at the bottom, and pulled out a knife. I was black bladed, with a red-violet sheath, it was her mother's. She hated the fact that it was, it ruined its handsome appearance and curve. I reminded her of the truth.

The truth was that no one cared, or she thought that no one did. She could not feel anything. She could not love who she wanted to; she could barely laugh.

She slipped off the sheath and held it up to her arm. She winced as she drew the sharp, onyx blade down, slicing her wrist and cutting a small splice in her leotard. She did the same with the other and watched crimson blood drip down her fingertips she sat on her bed and felt the thick liquid dripping into the navy blankets. She sat their, stoic for ten minutes, blood just dripping, dripping. She fought healing herself. Seconds later she passed out.

And the alarm sounded.

Sorry it's short. It is Christmas Eve and I know any second now that someone (FAMILY *shudders*) will any second now come up and read my morbid work, which will get less morbid in a few chapters. :eek:

Chapter 2

The alarm that had sounded earlier was false, but it still sent a wave of curiosity through the

Titans. Ussualy Raven was the first one down to the common room after Robin, but she did not

appear. This was why the Titans were infront of her door. Each one expecting another to knock.

"I'm not touching it!' Beastboy joked.

"Move," Robin said, giving Beastboy a stern look,"I'll knock."

He rapped at the door, waiting for a reply, but only silence came. Cyborg ran a scanner over the

door, his jerky movements gave away his nervousness.

"I must need an upgrade. My scanners say that she is in their, but they do not detect any life."

Robin opened the door to what appeared to be eternal darkness. Starfire shivered. The titans

walked past theatre masks and bookshelfs, and a black maplewood chest, missing the two drops of

conjealing liquid. Starfire saw Raven on the bed and flashed over. She shook the dark, hooded

figure and raised her hand, now ruby red. Tears formed in her eyes.

"Awaken Raven, please. It is I, Starfire!" She cried harder at the lack of reply.

Robin examined the bloody sheath and the pools of crimson rain on the floor. Beastboy seemed to

be catatonic. Robin picked up the lifeless figure and carried it out of the room, still pouring

what seemed to be a waterfall of undiluted life.

"How many loves can a guy loose?" Beastboy wondered outloud from the back of Raven's room.

No one seemed to notice, or care.

The atmosphere of the room, was painful regret.

[Raeofdarkness]

Chapter 3

The black haired, amythest eyed girl had been laying in the infirmary for no less than 3 minutes and 27 seconds before she had started to float above the bed, body compulsing with shudders of near death, no longer able to control the urge to mend the vital arteries on her wrists.

Robin had been talking to, and comforting the other Titans outside the room. Wondering himself why one of the wisest, and most strategic members on his team had to die. He had sent out the message to Aqualad, Bumblebee, Speedy, wildebeast, Hot Spot, and even tried to reach the theif/good guy Red X. He had even shed a few tears for the Gothic demon child himself, even though some thing inside him told him it wasn't over.

"Please Robin, tell me why she is gone? Why did she do that? Why could she not seek counsil or release her sorrows with the Pudding of Sadness instead of with her life?"

"Yeah, I'll second that."

"She's been seeming so quiet lately, I mean more quiet than ussual. It seemed like she was

getting more and more depressed towards..."

"The end." Cyborg finished off for Robin.

The Titans went down into the commons just in time for the arrival of all of the heroes except

Red X. Speedy was the first to talk to the group.

"I'm really sorry, I didn't know her, but I would have loved to have gotten to. I guess that's impossible now."

"Yeah." Robin replied solemly.

"Hmruff." was all that Wildebeast said.

"Yeah same here. Speedy I mean, not Wildebeast." Said HotSpot

Beastboy and Aqualad were talking in a corner while Cyborg tried to make conversation with Wildebeast and Robin and Starfire hung around Speedy and Hotspot.

"You know, I never told her this, of course, but I always thought Raven was beautiful. Underneath all of the eerieness."

"I know what you mean." Beastboy said to Aqualad.

"Even though she probably wasn't my type."

"I don't think that she though she was anybody"s type." Beastboy said and then muttered. "But she was."

__________________________________________________

In the infirmary:

Raven shot up to see that her wrists had been healed, but had left scars, because of lack of immediate attention. Her head hurt for the loss of oxygen and blood that it had to endure for the eight minutes that she had stopped breathing. It had nearly ended her life altogether.

"Idiot." she told her self. "Your powers will not allow suicide. The bloody demon inside you will make yourself be healed."

She was dizzy and tired and in need of meditation and rest, so she teleported herself to her room. and lay on her bed , tears rolling down her face onto the still bloody bedsheets.

___________________________________________________

The Titans had gone back up to the infirmary with their guests to wrap up raven and call the coroner. Better to do it sooner than later. The boy Raven talked to at the dances they went to showed up as well after Beastboy told Robin to call him. The two shared darkness incomon. He was Raven's only friend outside of the tower. His name was Asa.

Robin typed in the code and opened the door. Starfire had turned around, she could not bear to see her friend lying their, in pale, grim death again. Speedy found himself aquardly hugging her. Beastboy had his head down untill he heard the door open. He raised his green face and screamed...

But not because of what he did see, but what he didn't.

:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :evil:

Was her death convincing?

wow.... that is absolutely the only word going through my mind while reading this.... wow wow wow wow wow *keeps on chanting wow*

[ShadowOfAGhost]

Interesting, to say the least. ususaly, it's not a good idea to start a story with the action that the rest of the story would base around. For example, in the first chapter you might have wanted to focus on ravens thoughts as a prelude to what may happen, and then have chapter two as contemplation of suicide, and then either at the end of chapter two or in chapter three the act itself. one thing that I would say that you could work on is the way you note who is speaking. it gets a little confusing at times when you have someone say something and then say who it was in the next line by saying he said to her or something of that nature. this is okay to do sometimes when it is an obvious conversation between two parties when the characters are mentioned by name early in the conversation and follow the same back and forth pattern between the two. I must ssay that I'm surprised that this fic recieved as much support and what not as it did. I'm not saying that it is bad, only that it is somewhat confusing to me that one of almost everyones favorite characters just commits suicide in the first chapter and everyone is pleased by it. (writers to gore, like a moth to a flame:shrug: ). the story shows potential and I must say that I am intrigued to see where it goes, following Raven through her struggle with depression and anxiety. I can honestly say that I have never seen anyone (correct me if I'm wrong) try this aproach before.

one fact struck me as odd though. the fact that Raven decided to try and kill herself by violent means. Statisticly speaking, it has been shown that women often prefer nonvilent means such as poisoning for suicide as compared to violent means such as slitting of the wrists. Could this have some significant impact on the plot, or did you just feel it would be the easiest to write?

I appologize for how long this post is, but there is just so much that I wanted to say. Last thing, I promise. Often a writer will incorperate a part of themselves or their experiences into their writing. this caould be seen as either a means for expressing their own personal views about the subject matter, or as a release for something that the author has had on their mind because of either personal experience or something of that nature. Let me end by saying that you can tell us anything you need to, were here not only to critique and to comment, but to help and to listen as well.:)

here's to fueling your dark side:

[starfire0639]

oh fine give her the negative thoughts first but as i saw it its juts a huge cliffhanger dont know really of what cus when i read it didnt it say that speddy hugged her what didnt bb see?thats whats going thru my head and as for all others i keep thinking bout what beats boy didnt see........otherwise keep up the good work and itll turn out great:anime:as for the choice of the killing however i have seen in many cases where women have chosen the violent method which makes my skin crawl so i wont be thinking truly about that anymore and as for the personel stuff i second on that i have made many a friend on here and stories and stuff isnt all that we talk about:D and its fun so hey if there is which im not saying that there is if there is anything wrong then i will be here most indubadubly-hehehe long word

Non-violent? You think that girls on this forum would choose a non-violent way? Wouldn't most people just use a non-violent way?

Oh well. I really liked that chapter, but I don't get why Robin would call Red X or the other Titans. It could have been for a fueneral (sp) or something like that, but I just don't get why. Is it important in the plot?

Can't wait for more!

I have moved people! Yay!
The next chapter should be up tonight!

Crowgirl (Who is in a state of minimal depression)hmmm... all generalizations are false.

I was just citing a statistic. obviously It's not applicable to everyone, as it is a statistic.:gir:

what didnt bb see?thats whats going thru my head and as for all others i keep thinking bout what beats boy didnt see........
Raven. He didn't see Raven. Remember she had teleported to her room after she involuntarily healed herself? Imagine you go to a funeral home for a viewing. You go in, see the body, go out to the car to get tissues, come back in to the room, and all of a sudden, the coffin is empty. that is the situation.

[Aquagirl15]

creepy, dark and :eek: i can't wait for more!:anime: so let me get this straight, the Titans thought Raven was dead but her body healed itself and then when the Titans went back to the medical room she was gone.:ack: that seems different, but Raven is totaly a different character, but how did Speddy hug her and then BB didn't see her is my question. :shrug: post soon!!!!

[Raven37]

wow.... that is absolutely the only word going through my mind while reading this.... wow wow wow wow wow *keeps on chanting wow*

Me too. Wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow......


Oh well. I really liked that chapter, but I don't get why Robin would call Red X or the other Titans. It could have been for a fueneral (sp) or something like that, but I just don't get why. Is it important in the plot?Yea, The same question is running through my mind.....

Anyways, can't wait for more! This story has an interesting plot. Please post more soon!:D


-rAVEN37

[Raven13]

OOOOO I like it alot!!!!! I kinda knew that she was going to come back alive but a very good reson on why she did!:D Love the detail....also how everyone can to the funeral, but im still in question on why she wanted to kill herself???? Anyway WONDERFUL:) :anime: :D ;) :p

Post more SOON;)

Could this have some significant impact on the plot, or did you just feel it would be the easiest to write?To be honest, I think that the reasoning behind Raven's method of suicide is the fact that reading about someone slitting their wrists is a good way to mess up your head. Which I'm guessing is kinda the point of this story.:anime:

The whole congregation thing is cool: it shows that a lot of people care about Raven, which is the total opposite to what she seems to think.

[Raeofdarkness]

Chapter 4

Thoughts were wurring through Raven's head like a rocket train.

Beast boy calling her creepy, and demonic.
Robin telling her to "Lighten up."
Starfire and her endless questions.
Cyborg and his car and always wanting help.

The video game arguements. The lack of peace. The food arguements. The obsession of Slade. Starefire nearly getting married.

All of it raced one after the other through her meditative calm.

Then... there was her father. Her demonic SOB of a father. The same man that raped her mother causing her existence. The man who had possessed her over and over again and again. And what annoyed her most, the fact that he made her heal herself. She wanted to be rid of him. For the world to be rid of him. For him, she was the last link. The last link to total world domination. It put a terrible curse upon her life. Making her moody and unpredictable. It caused her to have no love, or even friends. She knew that downstairs right now, the Titatns were probably dog tired because of some battle, not even worried about her, or even thinking of her.

Ha ha. DOG tired. It made her think of Beastboy. Sometimes it seemed like he was the only one that ever cared.

She fell asleep with this final thought in her head.

________________________________________________________
What Beastboy did not see was Raven, it filled him with anger that some one had stolen her body. Cyborg did a scan over the room and the tower. And then did a queer little dance.

"She's alive!"The room gaped at a singular moment.

"Oh. I guess that means their won't be a meal at the funeral."

This came from a very unexpected person, wearing a very unexpected belt.

:evil: :evil: :evil: Cliffhangers!:evil: :evil: :evil: I dare u to figure it out!

[Raven37]

I think I might know who the person in the belt is..... Anyways, great chapter. Do I see a Raven/BB relationship coming? I think I do! Please post more soon!:D


-Raven37

P.S. WOW!!! It's late! *looks at clock* 1:30 A.M. wow.......:sweat:

[Sproxie]

wow. (Thats all I can think of now.)

[Crowgirl]

wow. (Thats all I can think of now.)
Yup. Basically. Just watch out for your spelling.

Crowgirl

P.S. I have no idea who is wearing 'the belt'.

[Raven13]

OOOO so that is why she wanted to kill herself!! (Thanks for clearing that up for me:sweat: ) I loved this chapter though! Very detail and Raven37 I guess we all see a BB/Raven relationship coming on. O and I think I do no who the guy is with the belt is it...... well i should not give it away if im right! Anyway loved this chapter!!!!:) :anime: :D ;) :p :rolleyes:

(O and Raven37 why the heck were u up at 1:30 in the morning???;) ) HAHA

~ ~ Raven13 ~ ~

[Raven37]

(O and Raven37 why the heck were u up at 1:30 in the morning???;) ) HAHA
Actually, I was up until 3:30 in the morning because I was copying music from my CD's to my MP3 player and reading this book I have to read for school. (No more dead dogs) It's a pretty good book...

Okay, I won't post anymore fluff.... sorry.:sweat:

-Raven37

[Starfire5]

hmm....i wonder who this person is....:sad: ok im still lost.

But i love scary movies! <----lol just thought id say that.

Star

[Crowgirl]

(No more dead dogs) It's a pretty good book...


What book? The Mystery of the Dog in the Nighttime? That was an okay book. But when is the next chapter coming out?

Crowgirl

[Raven37]

What book? The Mystery of the Dog in the Nighttime? That was an okay book. But when is the next chapter coming out?

CrowgirlThe book that I'm reading is called "no more dead dogs".

Anyways, please post more soon!

-Raven37

[Starfire5]

Yeah when is the next chapter coming!??!?!

But about the books and everything.All i can say is STEPHEN KING ROCKS!

[ShadowOfAGhost]

Yeah when is the next chapter coming!??!?!

But about the books and everything.All i can say is STEPHEN KING ROCKS!It would seem that I'm not the only [im_a_little_glow-tag_short_and_stout=red]Stephen King [/im_a_little_glow-tag_short_and_stout]Mega Fan on the forum! :D

BTW, my guess for the person in the belt is Red X because Robin stole the belt away at the end of the X episode and he was not expected to be there. Think about it, who else could it be? Also, the wise crack is the same sort of wise crack that Red X makes in the episode X (for those who don't know, Robin was origionaly Red X until an unknown person stole the suit in X)

[Matt A]

Okay, that chapter was cool, for two reasons:

1. Being a bit of a layman when it comes to Teen Titans - and indeed most cartoons, come to that - I don't know that much about Raven's past, so all that was interesting to read.
2. The final quip was a work of art, man. I don't have a clue who said it, so that should make things entertaining.

[Raeofdarkness]

Thanx. I'm an artist too, so saying that my story is art is major! :anime: I might not get the next chapter up untill school starts!

[starfire0639]

ha!aquagirl thought the same thing booyah! thats what got me kinda steered off cus he hugged her but bb didnt see her so ok...um done with my mockery now:sweat: oooooooh and i know who the guy is with the belt thingy i know!i know!i think its cus i watch to much tv tehe and yesh bout the school thingy but its kinda bittersweet cus i want to read the next chapter but i dont want school to start yet!-sigh-oh well gotta have the good with the bad i guess

[Raeofdarkness]

Sry I didnt make it clear. Speedy hugged Star, and BB was the one that didnt see anything!

[Raeofdarkness]

Chapter up in three days!

[starfire0639]

yay!

[Aquagirl15]

well, i agree with ShadowOfAGhost. altho i think that it could be someone else too. but i won't say cause i'm afraid of being right. usually when i'm right things turn out bad... with the exception of school work. anyway nuff spam. chapter soon is great! i can wait. <- haha didn't even try to make that ryme. :anime:

[ShadowOfAGhost]

Chapter up in three days!I think it's been 3 days...oh well. No rush.:)

Shadow

[Starfire5]

maybe its 3 Raeofdarkness days...

[Starrysky]

This story is beyond good. One thing though is that the chapters are so short. I read them a minute each chapter...but I prefer quality over quantity anyways. Post Soon!

[ShadowOfAGhost]

Don't you dare abandon this story! we wait in anxiousnessnessness:p .

[Raeofdarkness]

Chapter 4

Raven had been haunting all of her favorite spots: the pizza parlor, the coffee shoppe the bookstore. Each place reminded her in some way of what she had done to herself. It hurt her to be like this. She had betrayed herself and her friends. The probably did not even know that she was alive, much less out of the infirmary. The fact that she had done all of that for nothing made her want to vomit. She had floated around for miles and somehow ended up at the place where Red X had fought along side Robin.

It was strange here; it wasn’t so cold any more. She felt around with her powers, and there was something different. Something was missing from the room. There was something she was looking for here, a sort of comfort. Warm, living, and breathing. She sighed and flew off. She felt hurt, stung. That something she was looking for, she wanted to care.
_________________________________________________________________

“Red X! Get out” Robin’s voice was filled with anger.

“Well at least if there is not a meal, I can go find your doll! I’ll be leaving now. TTFN!” He vanished in a puff of smoke, leaving wisps of fumes in the room.

“Let’s hope he really isn’t looking for her. She’s not in the tower and she is blocking out her signal. Who knew that she had that power” Cyborg continued to analyze his arm computer.

“There is much about Raven we do not know, such as how some one can live through such tragedy as slashing wounds in ones wrists.” Starfire shuddered and looked at the ground.

“I hope she’s OK.” All of the others nodded at Beastboy’s statement in agreement
_______________________________________________________________
Raven was flying slowly away from Doctor Chang’s hide out, the wind was whipping her face and the rain that had just begun to fall was stinging her eyes. Suddenly, a flash of brilliant light gleamed through the dreary dark, and then she was back in Chang’s hide out.

It was a very warm room, one she had never seen before. It made her curious. She realized that she had stopped blocking her signal for a moment and then blocked it again. She hoped they didn’t notice. A figure stepped out of the dark corner of the office. It was a teenage boy of about 18 dressed all in black, he had powerful muscles and a rippling build that made Raven wonder who he was. He had blonde hair, but she could not see his face except for his mouth, because he had tied a bandanna around it.

“What do you want, scum?” She tried to move.

“You’ll find that quite impossible.” His voice was deep, soothing, it made her calm down. He grabbed her hand and looked at her wrist, the thick scar was still there, pale and lingering. “Now why would someone so powerful do that?”

“To get away from people like you” Her eyes began to start to fade red. She blinked and it stopped. For some reason, she didn’t want to hurt him.

“Temper, temper. You know I wouldn’t hurt a pretty thing like you.”

He moved dangerously close to her. She leaned back, blocking out the emotion of fear as his hand came out from behind his back.

He stroked his fingers through her purple hair and kissed her, gently. His lips were closed, as were his eyes.

“Now that wasn’t so bad was it?”

Raven thought something was wrong.

:evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: I am oh so evil to do this to BB:evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:

[Starfire5]

firsties.... IS THAT RED X without the suit on? *thinks* could it could it!!!!well i liked how Raven "blocked" her signal so she didnt have to worry about the titans finding her. Over all Great chapter!

[Raeofdarkness]

Yes Mate, Yes it is.
__________________________________________________-
Chapter Five


Raven’s brain exploded with something different. It was odd, it was strange, and it was beautiful. It was also hard to keep her powers in check. Somehow she managed. It filled her heart and made her body warm. The rained upon cloak was no longer heavy, but as light as a feather she felt like she was on the moon. The only way to describe it was zero gravity.

“Wow.” She whispered. She couldn’t help herself. It was heaven on earth. Peaceful, and tranquil.

“Oh so you like it, hmm?” The boy smiled crookedly flashing teeth quickly and curling up his perfect lips. Raven blushed profusely and looked away from him. He kissed her again, this time harder.

“Such a pretty doll.”

“Watch who you’re calling doll buddy.” Raven could not stop her inner anger at that word. A villain called her that a while back. She hated it.


“Fine, Raven, have it your way.” He clicked his fingers and she was able to rise from her seat. Her hands however were not able to move.

“What do you want with me?” She began to circle him slowly. A plan began to formulate in her mind. No matter how handsome he was, he was still an enemy. He had kidnapped a “Dead Titan”

“Isn’t it obvious?” He unfastened her wet cloak and hung it by a heater. Then his arms found their way around the muscular small of her back. “I love you.” He pushed some of the hair out of her eyes and she found herself leaning in to him. She then opened her eyes and leaned back.

“No. I don’t know who you are, but I know that you are a villain. So I can’t do this. It is wrong, bad, sin.”

“So you’re the suicidal good girl who is going to tell the Titans of the only person who LOVES hers hiding spot.”

“No. Never. I will even see you again. But now I have to go.” She kissed him this time and then whispered into his ear. “Now let me go.” He had only really known her for a few hours. He put her cloak back around her and held her close.

“Don’t forget me.” With that, he let her hands go and watched her fly off into the night.
________________________________________________________________
The Titans and their guests, fifteen minutes later were faced with a door.

“Her signal leads right here.” All looked up and through the roof came a figure all dressed in black and blue.

“Raven!” Beast Boy and Starfire exclaimed at the same time. Though Beast Boy’s tone was a little different.



“Why did you do that? Why?” Robin pinned the girl against a wall, scarred wrists above her head.



Raven looked straight into the white of his mask, undaunted by the power of his arms.

“If you knew, would you understand?”

:eek: :evil: :eek: I LEFT YOU HANGING:eek: :evil: :eek:
:D:evil: And just befor the drama!:evil::D

[Rae]

“If you knew, would you understand?”

I loved this line, i don't know why, i just did!

Great where this is going, keep it up!

Rae

I know That I am evil for my Raeofdarkness days. Please forgive me for my evilness. I am glad however that u like it. I'll Tell u that there is gonna be a BIG personal fight. But not with Robin.

[ShadowOfAGhost]

That was definatly a good line to wnd it with. it leaves mystery, suspense, and drama all bundled together. on the other hand, you will now have ranting screaming angry fans who want to get the next chapter ASAP.:evil: very nice job over all! It would seem Raven has a thing for the Bad Boy type...

[Matt A]

I agree with all the above comments, specially the new chaptert being required ASAP.:evil:

It would seem Raven has a thing for the Bad Boy type...
Is that a hint at Dwyr Budr?

[Crowgirl]

I'm sorry, but there is nothing left to say. I agree with all the above comments and cannot wait for more.

Raven and Red X, oooooo.......

[ShadowOfAGhost]

I agree with all the above comments, specially the new chaptert being required ASAP.:evil:


Is that a hint at Dwyr Budr?You mean one of the greatest fic's I've ever read (free publicity)?


yes.

but it seems to old true here as well.

Chapter 6

“Raven we need to know! Did you do it or…”

“I was not possessed. I did it of my own free will.” Ravens eyes looked square into his. She, her empathy, felt his anger, his sorrow, and hurt. She also sensed worry. “I did it by my hand.”

Beast Boy did something very unexpected. He changed into a gorilla at that moment, shoved Robin out of the way, and slammed Raven about three feet up the wall.

“Why. Why do you have to hurt all of us? You lie, you hide, sneak around. You can read our freaking thoughts! We never should have trusted you. You betrayed the team! You betrayed yourself. You have lost ever thing you were good for.” He dropped Raven and she slunk to the floor. Her back now ached profusely. “Who do you think you are? A friend? Friends of mine don’t go off and try to kill themselves.”

Raven stood up, surprisingly calm. The other Titans looked in fear of attack from an angered telepath. “Were you ever really my friend? Did you ever really care? Do you really care now? If had had been just a friend and not a fighter valuable to the ‘safety’ of this city would you care?”

The room was silent with awe of how calm and even Raven’s words were. The fact that she could say something so wrong and still keep a straight face puzzled them.

“Robin, you are mad at me. Tell me why. I’ll know if you are lying. Remember who I am? I can just get inside you brain and find out the truth. You’ll never even know I’m there. What about you Starfire? Was I really a friend, or just the only other Titan on the team who was a girl? Cyborg. You care more about that metal deathtrap than you care about me. What about you Beast Boy? I have loads to say about you.”

Beast Boy’s face looked stricken. Deer in headlights.

“And the rest of you. Who are you? Why did you come to the funeral of some one you didn’t even know. Was it the free food?”

Every one was swallowing and trying not to cry. Her words stung like butterfly knives.

“I have no more to say.” Raven left the room.

:evil: :evil: :evil: See told ya :evil: :evil: :evil:

[ShadowOfAGhost]

damn... god job with that. you did an excelent job with the emotions of the chapter. everybody has one specific area that they are good at, sometimes more. I would say that your strength lies in your ability to write emotion in conversations. one of the most dificult things to do in my opinion. Good Job!:)

[Rae]

I swear that knives were flying at the Titans in that cobversation, I could see them (or maybe that's just me, oooh it's a dragon!, I gotta catch it *goes to jump out of window but hits the glass* ouch!)

This is really good and i agree with what Shadow siad about you be able to write emotion into conversations really well!

Rae

[Matt A]

:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

That's all that needs to be said about that work of...well, art!

Keep up the brilliant work, you little sadistic genius you!:D

You mean one of the greatest fic's I've ever read (free publicity)?


yes.

but it seems to old true here as well.
Thankyou.:)

[Raeofdarkness]

Yea! I'm a sadistic genyus.

Duz a danz! Genyus! Genyus!:p

[ShadowOfAGhost]

Yea! I'm a sadistic genyus.

Duz a danz! Genyus! Genyus!:p
aaaaaaaaaaaaand you killed it.

[Crowgirl]

aaaaaaaaaaaaand you killed it.
Yeah.

Brilliant. That is all there is to say. Nothing more.

[Raeofdarkness]

Chapter 7

Raven teleported to her bedroom after leaving the commons.

“Why did she do it to us? Why? She hates us! She is probably working for Slade, or Brother Blood. You saw how his army was dressed. Look familiar anyone? Just look at her. She is always wearing black, she never smiles and she is DANGEROUS! She has lost her temper one too many time. I say Lock Her Up! We don’t need her!”


“Beast Boy! Friend! Do not say such hurtful things. Raven’s heart is merely heavy with the sad blues. She just needs time to heal. I suggest…”

“Pudding isn’t going to help her Star. She needs a friend that understands everything that she is going through. Some one that can give her unconditional love with out expecting anything in return. I am sorry to say that I don’t think any of us are capable of doing that.” Robin frowned at his somber words

“Maybe she needs a vacation?”
“She needs way more than that Aquaboy.”

“Try mental help.” Said Beast Boy. “And a strait jacket.”

“Her scars are pretty bad.”
“How in the heck would you know Hotspot? You’ve never had one.”
“I’ve seen them on other people Speedy.”
“I could try to talk to her.”
“Probably wouldn’t help Bumblebee. She needs a main compadre.”

“Oh can’t we just leave he alone Cyborg. She is troubled. Her mind and powers are confusing and tiring. I know. I have had to use them before. They are like liquid ice that fills you up to the core.”

“That explains why she always shows us the cold shoulder then.”

This remark earned Beast Boy plenty of glares.
______________________________________________________________________
This is what Raven saw in her mind. All of these people either cutting her down, defending her, or in Robin’s case, pretending to be indifferent. Every one down in the lobby was sad, confused, and tired. She was grateful for Star’s comments and would thank her for them later.


The blonde haired man always remained in the back of her mind. He haunted her thoughts. Warm. He made her not care about what the others thought. He made her want to find him right now and never leave. Intoxicating. Shady. Sexy.

She had a dream that night about him. He showed up at her door wearing his all black. But this time he had on a mask, not a bandanna. His face was lit like the moon on the black velvet sky. He reached for her, but was hit by a four-man army. They struck him down, and he fell. The Titans left. She began to cry and walked over to him. She realized her attire was strange, different. A long split skirt, black satin, two large, white, half-moon earrings, and her usual boots and cape. She walked over to the dilapidated figure. He was a smashed flower on the sidewalk, a forgotten bush in the garden. He was covered in blood, his strong arms lacerated. He put his arms around her and kissed her. Then he began to remove his mask…

And she woke up.

:eek: :evil: :eek: :evil: :eek: :D :D :D

[Rae]

the Titans beat up her boyfriend? or they will? I think....

That was great, you're bringing the story along well.

No critisisms!

Rae

[Raven13]

OO I like it alot!! The dream seems to maybe have an effect on the story or will it!! Anyway no critismes I loved it!!!!!!:D

~ ~ Raven13 ~ ~

[ShadowOfAGhost]

cliff.....hanger....:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: !!!!

very good job! Massive improvement since you've started! nice work!

[Raeofdarkness]

Thanx everybody! Cyborg is so fricken hard to do emotionally. Could you tell who was saying what? I hate the whole "Said>>>" thing after every quotation. I try to grow out of it and use my chapter book format!:cool:

[Matt A]

Okay, now that was a mind masher! Good work!:D!Don't worry about the speech stuff. It made perfect sense.

[Adrastea]

DUDE!! I so should have read this earlier, it rocks!!!

Carry on, you have my blessing, it's so cool!!

[Raeofdarkness]

Yay! I'm blessed.:evil:

[Raeofdarkness]

Sorry my last post was so hypocritical.:D
Chapter 8

The next three weeks were very uneventful for Raven. Besides a few minor break ins and outs around the town that she skipped helping on, there was no action. All were petty crimes. She wondered where her friend was. Handsome, blonde, and thieving. To keep her mind off of the rest of the Titans, she thought about who he could be.

The alarm rang bathing Raven’s room in red. The light flashed over the pages of her book. She heard a voice over the tower intercom


“Raven, please, this time we are going to need your help.” She sighed and looked at the red light. She had a natural hate for that colour.

“I need something to do I guess.” She said this into a mirror on her dresser. Her face looked back at her three times.


“Good!” said one in a beautiful blue.
“Booyah!” said one in dark green
“Are you sure?” said one in gray.


“Yes, I am going.” She straightened up, and walked out of the room. Leaving all of the comfort of her darkness behind.


“So, finally going to join us are you Raven.” The green changeling scowled and surprised the girl by popping out of an air shaft. She put a hand up on the wall to balance her startled self. She forgot that she had rolled up her sleeves to wash her hands earlier. He looked at her deeply scarred wrists and she quickly pulled her sleeves down.


“I have come to help you. I am, after all, part of the team. Tough you don't trust the girl you are...” BB's face was stricken with panick. Cyborg walked up behind her and put a hand on her shoulder.

“BB, just give her a break, and while you’re giving people stuff, give me back my NAILCLIPPERS!” He ran full blast after a green cheetah with clippers in its mouth.



Raven sighed, So, things haven’t changed at all. Cyborg doesn’t even need nail clippers. She found Star and Robin along with the other two, problems resolved in the lounge looking at the screen.


“It’s Red X. At the peir. He seems to be looting a warehouse.”


The Teen Titans didn’t need anymore said. All except Raven and Robin piled into the T-car. Robin stopped as he got to his motorcycle.


“You all right?” Robin suddenly realized that this might not have been the best thing to say.


“Fine” Raven pulled her hood up and teleported to the pier.

____________________________________________________________
Red X knew the Titans were on their way. He didn’t care. He was prepared. He had a way to take down all of them and temporarily knock them out. All of them accept one. One he wanted to talk to again more than anything.

[moro loci]

:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: You are evil. But I like your story.:anime:

[Crowgirl]

Great chapter. Loved the whole thing. It seemed short though, a little too short.... But that's just because you left us with a cliffhanger....

The small thing with Red X was a nice touch, I liked how you sort of displayed how he felt. But one gripe: Cyborg has no nails, no how would he need the nail clippers?

Oh, wait a second, never mind.... :sweat:

Other than that, great job! Can't wait for more.

CG/Crowgirl/?????

[Raven13]

I liked it alot!!!! Very interesting!! I cant wait for the next chapter with the Red X thing!!! OOOOO this is going ot get GOOD!!!:D :evil: :anime: :p ;) :) :eek:

~ ~ Raven13 ~ ~

[Matt A]

:eek: :eek: :eek: , indeed...

This is gonna be so cool! Wait, it already is! Yay!:D

[Raeofdarkness]

I feel so loved:ack:

[ShadowOfAGhost]

I'm too stuned by the beauty of a well written chapter to post too many coherent thoughts right now. all I can say is this....nice.:cool:

[Raeofdarkness]

Chapter 9

The pier was one of Raven’s favorite places. It was full of abandoned warehouses, usually covered in fog, and had a dark atmosphere.

Red X was one of the most confusing villains in Jump City. Usually common thieves did not need costumes, but he wore one. He could have just worn the belt. He was selfish, stuck-up, and had an ego the size of Gotham. He made Raven want to kill him just for the ego. He had called her “chick” once before, a title no one even dared to say in front of Raven.

It took the other Titans a few minutes to get to the pier after Raven. It was altogether a waste of her energy to teleport but it was the only option seeing as being in the same car with Beast Boy at the moment might make something explode. He was very lucky that she had had a lot of time to meditate.

She found Red X raiding a warehouse in section C3.


“What happened to the others?” For some strange reason he didn’t have his voice scrambler on, and Raven recognized him.


“You! Oh my God! It’s really you!” She ran over to him, catching him off guard and held him close. “They have all been saying terrible things. They forget that I can read minds.” She released her embrace and stepped back.

“Look, we can’t…”

“Titans! GO!” The famous line rang in the stocked room like a band in a parade. Starfire hit him first; green blasts of energy came from every direction as she flew in a circle. Robin hit him with a bowstaff in the stomach as X countered Starfire’s attacks. Raven threw a bunch of boxes at him, making sure they were empty and that the majority missed.

Cyborg took a crack at the evildoer.
“Booyah! Huh?” It had missed.


BB stared at her ‘attempt’. “Dude! I thought Raven never missed!”
“I’ve been skipping practice” came the monotone reply as BB took a pitiful swipe at the villain with a large, clawed paw.


“Ta Ta.” X had switched on his scrambler. He threw a cube shaped box marked with his symbol at the group. Raven knew what it was and flew out of the way. The box released a gas, performing an immediate effect. Each Titan was knocked out, eyes closed on the floor. Raven and Red X had about 4 hours together before they woke up.

“Come on, let’s go.” Raven came out of the ceiling and flew over to the villain. He took her in his arms and pressed a button on his belt.

About half a second later they were back at Dr. Chang’s laboratory. It was warm in there still, to warm for her tastes. Maybe it was just being around X. He walked into the back room and stopped in the doorway.


“Just give me about five minutes and I’ll be there.” Raven sat on a chair behind a desk that used to belong to Dr. Chang. She looked at it contents: 1 cup of coffee, 3 pens and a pencil, dozens of weapon design sketches, and an upside down photo book. She picked it up, glancing nervously at the door that X had gone through. She opened the black cover and looked at the first slot, a little boy with blonde hair and bright green eyes. He had pale skin and a large heartwarming smile that made Raven happy.

The next picture startled her, a teenage girl in a dark blue cloak with a black leotard underneath. She had bright amethyst eyes and pale skin as well. A red brooch was pinned at her neck and black roses surrounded her. At the bottom corner of the picture was the date 5-19-02.

He had this picture since 2002? He probably didn’t even know who I was. I wasn’t even a Titan then. This was when my last good sister died.

She listened for footsteps and then shut the book as her ears were answered. Red X came through the door costume-less.

“Much better. Tight pants get annoying.”
“Why do you where that costume anyway.”
“It’s cool, I look good in it, and it gives me a name. What do you want to do? I have an old horror movie we could watch. It’s called The Lost Boys.”
“Fine by me.”

He grabbed the movie out of a stack on the floor. He still wore the black Bandanna. Come on. He opened a chute on the side of the room opposite Raven and said “Ladies first.”

She jumped in and slid down where at the bottom she hit an extremely old mattress. In front of her were a plasma screen television, a large sofa, and a surround sound system.


“Figures.” X appeared behind her.


“Don’t ask where I got any of this, Hero.” He cupped her face in his chin and popped the movie into the VCR. The settled down on the couch, and wound up paying more attention to each other’s lips than the movie.


Very good thing she meditated a lot the past three weeks.

[Crowgirl]

Woah. X and Raven on a dateish type thing? Cool!

That was good, I enjoyed it a lot. The fight was nicely done, but it could have had a little more description and it could have been longer. I liked how Raven was sifting through his stuff and how she saw the pictures. HOw he would have one of her before she was a Titans opens more doors, but they will be closed eventually. Right?

No, okay then.....

Anywas, seeing Red X's place was cool. And the whole thing was overall great. Just watch out for typos and homynyms, they can sneakily attack you.... :evil:

CG

P.S. In case you're interested.....
"Birthmark" -- Slade is back and this time he's after Raven. But the Teen Titans question why.

"Cyborg the Barbarian" -- Cyborg is mysteriously thrown into the distant past and lands in the middle of a barbarian village that needs his help. But with the nearest charging station 5,000 years in the future, Cy has no way to recharge, and his power supply is dwindling.

"Employee of the Month" -- Beast Boy has only one real dream in life -- to someday, somehow own a Moped. And when Robin won't buy him one and Cyborg won't build him one, Beast Boy has only one way to make his dream come true he has to get a job.

Well, I thought it was worthwhile to read and post.

P.P.S. Very good thing she meditated a lot the past three weeks.

I loved that line, brilliant.

[Raven13]

I like that relationship between X and Raven! The picture books puzzles me but I think I ahve a clue who it is and what will happen. Yea good thing she did mediate! Things would be in the air everywhere!! I loved this chapter very detail but maybe jsut try to make the fight scence a tad bit longer, becuase all they did was just come in throw a punch then all take a nap! But i loved it anyway!! Wonderful, this is turning out to be a very good story!!!!:D

~ ~ Raven13 ~ ~

[Matt A]

Yep, that yet another cool chapter. Rex X is just such a prat, yet you can't help but like him: such is the considerable extent of your genius.:D :D :D :D :D

By the way CG, you should consider yourself lucky that I can't see any of the new Titans episodes...:mad: :p

[ShadowOfAGhost]

now all we need is to have the titans wake up early, see she is missing, track her signal, and bust in on them right in the middle of their little make-out session. That would be hilarious! nice job with the chapter!

[Crowgirl]

By the way CG, you should consider yourself lucky that I can't see any of the new Titans episodes...:mad: :p
Please keep this in mind. I put it in spoilers. You read it of your own free will. It is not my fault because I didn't make you read it. :p

[Matt A]

To be honest, it's a bit like telling someone who's hanging off a building to not look down.:p :p :p

[Raeofdarkness]

Chapter 9


Raven had fallen asleep on the hard pectorals of Rex X’s chest. She woke up and smiled at X. He had stayed awake. Raven glanced at a battered clock on the far side of the wall.

“Holy Crap!” Raven jumped up.
“Don’t, I was comfortable.”
“Oh, and you want the rest of them to catch us do you? Look at the time.” Red x got up, yawned, stretched, and looked at the clock.
“Damn, we are a little late. 15 minutes till they wake up.”
“I can’t do anything in that time to fix this.” Red X thought for a minute.
“I have a plan. My name is now Aaron. Come on.”

Raven followed Red X out of the room and downtown, hoping he knew what he was doing.
______________________________________________________________________

Back at the pier, Robin and the rest were waking up. Cyborg had done so first, considering he was half machine.

“Where’s Raven?”
“Probably had another date with her knife.”
“She’s downtown. And she’s moving pretty fast. Maybe she didn’t get hit by the gas and is tracking Red X.”
“After four hours of the dozing wouldn’t Raven have given up?”

“Not her. She’s like me, she to whatever it takes to take him down. Come on, let’s go get her.” The Titans began to exit the warehouse. “Hey, Beast Boy,”
“Yeah?”
“Shut up about Raven.”

Robin jumped on his bike, and left
_______________________________________________________________________

Raven and ‘Aaron’ stopped in the park. X took off his scarf to reveal a face very similar to the one that Raven had seen in the photo album.

“My name really is Aaron you know. I just wanted to tell you that.”
“I wish you wouldn’t have taken off that mask, Aaron. You should have just stayed home.”
“They would have found out I was with you, and then they would have asked questions. I was helping you track me, I mean X, down, Got it?”
“Sure. If they buy that they are way gullible.”
“I saw where he went and what he had with him.”
“Oh, sure. A master thief does that all of the time.”
“I would know.” The Titans pulled up behind them jumping out of their vehicles.
“Raven are you OK?”

“Su…” Beast Boy stopped and stared at Red X. “Who is he? And why are you…” Raven noticed how close she was to him and pulled away.
“This is Aaron. He saw Red X downtown and was helping me find him. He is training to be a private investigator.”
“He can help us then. You plan on being in town long?”
“A while.”
“Good. You can stay with us and help us track down Red X.”
“Ummmmm…”
“Oh, do you have to go home?”
“Never mind, I’ll come.” Raven looked at him in amazement. Then thought and offered.
“He can sleep in the room adjoined to mine. All that I keep in there are books and a bed that has never been used.”
“Fine then, it’s settled.”

Beast Boy pulled Raven over to the side. “I thought you didn’t like strangers in The Tower? You invited him into your ROOM?!?!?!?”
“I’ve known him for a while. As a matter of fact, I’ve known him since 2002.”
“You weren’t even a Titan then!”
“I know. I was at one of my half-sister’s funerals.”
“Sorry. I didn’t know.” Beast Boy walked off to the rest of the Titans inquiring Aaron about his past and future… and in Robin’s case, present. Raven whispered her reply to Beast Boy.

“Neither did I.”
___________________________________________________________________
Not a big enough cliffhanger for my likeing.:( :evil: :p

[Raven13]

Hey I like it alot!! Very good like the last chapter. You are a very good writter and I really like how X and Raven are together. Again another creative idea. That is what I love about your storys!! So CREATIVE!!!:D It is weird though that the titans belived that though it was quite belivable, but I think Robin would have second thoughts about it first. Loved the chapter anyway!!:anime:

WONDERFUL

~ ~ Raven13 ~ ~

[ShadowOfAGhost]

allright, I don't think I reviewed the previous chapter, so I'll do both here. pretty much everything that I have said in the past applies here. you are showing great potential and enormous improvement! I'd say with another 5 or 6 chapters you could meet the level of some of the best writers on the forum. If you thought that wasn't big enough of a cliffhanger, then you have issues.:p nice job.

[Matt A]

Personally, I'd say that he's proven himself to be one of the best writers here already. That chapter - the last line especially - is a case in point.

[Raeofdarkness]

1. I thank you muchly!

2. I am a chick. (No offense taken)

3. I love your avatar Mate!

[Raeofdarkness]

Chapter 10



For a long time Robin had his eyes on Aaron everywhere he went, same thing went for Aaron. Raven had had to catch herself twice now from calling him X. Every night Aaron went to bed without saying anything but “G’night” to Raven. She could tell that he was afraid that her room was wired. She had told him before that she had removed all of that junk except for the alarm and the intercom.

X’s first reaction to Raven’s room was, “I can’t see two inches in front of my nose.”

“You’ll get used to it.”

“You know I get scared of the dark sometimes. I might just crawl in bed with you in the middle of the night.” Beast Boy had overheard this and Raven was compelled to give Aaron a vicious scowl instead of a laugh.

Things continued in this fashion for about a week after his arrival. Starfire was ever curious about him, Robin suspicious for a reason that he didn’t know, Cyborg quizzed him endlessly about his technological know how, and Beast Boy hated him one minute and then was attempting to beat him at Game Station the next. Red X was much better.

On the night of the seventh day, Aaron came out of the bathroom. He had on long dark blue pajama bottoms, and a white t-shirt that clung to his muscular chest. Raven was hungry for a kiss. Just on sweet lingering kiss. She never thought she would say it, but love could definitely conquer all. Like suicide, a demon father, and her friends mistrust.

“I am not just going to let you get away tonight.” He stared at her mischievous face and smiled. He walked over to her bed and sat down next to her. He wrapped his arms around her thin waste. She didn’t have her cloak on. He was glad; it wouldn’t get in his way. He lay down, and she ended up halfway on top of him.

“You are so fricken gorgeous.” He kissed her softly and then held her close. She looked at the clock on the wall. 1:03. She fell asleep in his arms.

____________________________________________________________________________

Sorry for the brevity. :eek: :evil: :crying: :D:( :p ;) :) :anime: :sad:

That's not a problem. Short and sweet is always good!:D

Sorry for calling you a guy. You didn't say otherwise, so I just kinda presumed...:sweat:...wait a minute! You didn't take offence! Yay!:D :D :D

[ShadowOfAGhost]

1. Fine Job! Fine Job indeed!

2. brief or not, it was qualityand of course now I hape that she sleeps late accidentaly, arousing feers amoung the rest of the team causing them to go into the room and see them sleeping together (NOT LIKE THAT!!!:mad: GET YOUR MIND OUT OF THE GUTTER!!!:mad: ) and then have BB or Cy take a picture and then spread it ALL OVER THE TOWER!!! that would be great! but I won't tell you what to do...

3. as do I! the avatar is The Chemical Brothers new album. the only thing I have to ask is how does it compare to their early stuff? the early chemical brothers (in my oppinion) were only so so.

[Crowgirl]

I agree with all the completely correct comments above. This is great stuff, and one of my favorite stories on here.


Chao,

It's a bit hard to describe, but basically it's all their previous albums rolled into one with a few dozen new ideas sprinkled on top. Yes, it is indeed amazing, and I urgently suggest that you buy it, if only for the gobsmacking final track ("Surface To Air").

Chapter 11



Raven woke up still in her costume, a wrinkled, bedraggled mess. Her extra large Guns and Roses t-shirt lay on the bed forgotten. Aaron was no longer underneath her. She looked around for him; he and his beautiful rippling chest were across the room. He had on a pair of dark blue Wranglers and his hair was wet from the shower. He was reading an old copy of The Complete Works of Edger Allen Poe at her desk. She walked over and put on her cloak, then silently snuck up behind him. She wrapped her arms around him. The smell of soap was intoxicating.

“Hello stranger.” Raven noticed as he stood up the he was the same height as Malchior. The name didn’t hurt to think any more. “Do you know what time it is?”
“How could I? I just woke up.”
“2:07. The Titans are looking for you.” He gave her a mischievous grin. “Can’t blame you for sleeping so long, I was very comfortable.”
“Me to.” She flashed him a quick grin but noticed herself out of control. “Do you want to learn how to medita…”

“RAVEN!” Sadly of late Beast Boy had gotten out of the habit of knocking. The door slid open. The sight of a tousle haired Raven and a half dressed X did not put good thoughts in Beast Boy’s brain.

“Beast Boy!”
“Close the door if she’s getting dressed! I told you to knock, Man!” Cyborg’s voice echoed from up the stairs.
“I did! And she’s not getting dressed.”
“With more than one finger!”
“I knocked TWICE”
“Still doesn’t count.” Cyborg finally appeared in the doorway. “OMG! What were you DOING?!”
“Nothing!”
“You have a have naked buff guy in your room Raven! First you try to kill your self and now you’re going to go off and get pr…”
“NO. With my situation, family and power wise, I would never do that Beast Boy.”

It hurt her to think that he would honestly say that. His eyes told a story of immense sorrow that was only growing.
“I have to tell Robin.”
“Beast Boy! Listen! I would not do that! NEVER. Do you understand?”

Then Aaron’s eyes went wide as Raven did the most unexpected thing in the world.

Raven kissed Beast Boy, and a mirror shattered.

Okay, now that my little skit is over... I just finished reading this thing, and I have one thing to say. Absolutely pure and total genius. Me likey a lot. I may not necessarily agree with the pairing (see my fic), but you pull it off nicely. Raven kissing BB was really unexpected...

Damn! nice job with that. It would seem that Raven can't make up her mind! firswt she goes for Red X, and now she's after BB! add to that the excelent writing and you have yourself the best chapter yet! There is a point when an author reaches a point where I would say that they have reached a point where they have mastered their style of writing. at this point, the writer still has room to improve, learn more, etc... but the author feels confident in their writing and that is always obvious in a chapter, primarily because of the way that it flows PERFECTLY from one action to the next. I would say that you have reached this point! good job and congratulations!

[Matt A]

Okay, that just about made sense...:p

Either way, I still agree with Ghost's sentiments - and everyone else's - totally.

Chapter 12



“Woah! Did you just…?” Beast Boy’s face was in a deer-in-headlights like trance.

“Yes, I did.” She had a taste similar to that of tofu on her mouth: rubbery and fake. She had never really noticed how much he smelled like soy before.

Her powers had broken a small, plastic-framed mirror on her desk. Thank god it wasn’t the one for her emotions. Chaos would be running rampant through the tower at this very moment.

“But didn’t you…?”

“No, I most certainly did not.” She was getting a very short temper with the little, green changeling. “I don’t think of either one of you that way. I did it to just plain shut that stupid, toothy, grinning mouth of yours. I did not sleep with him and would never sleep with him. For one, I don’t like him that way. Two, my powers would not allow it. Three, and most importantly, there is a man out in the galaxy trying to steal my soul and get me to work for him. His name is TRIGON, MY DAD REMEMBER??? If I were to get pregnant what would happen to that baby? It would become a servant of the person I hate most.”

Cyborg was stunned, Beast Boy blushed at his stupidity and at Raven’s forwardness, Aaron just looked away.

“Oh…” he said finally. “I’m so sorry.”

The Titan’s alarms rang. “Aaron we need you! It’s Red X.”

BB and Cyborg raced out of the dark room. BB was obviously ahead judging by the yells of “COME BACK HERE YOU STUPID PIGEON!”

Raven stared sternly at Aaron. He sighed and laughed.

“My real name is Brandon. Aaron is my twin brother.”

She took a step towards him and glared into his eyes. “You have a lot of explaining to do.” She flipped her communicator open and checked the location of the crime. She grabbed Brandon’s wrist much harder than she had to and said, “Azarath Metrion Zinthos.”

0.237 seconds later they arrived in an alley across from Restricted Compound 11 of the Zynothium Control Agency. They waited outside knowing that if they went in alone they would surely be defeated.

“Talk, NOW!”

She told herself to calm down, she needed to meditate badly. She was having a lot of trouble controlling her emotions. He saw a gleam of distrust in her eyes. It was the kind of look she used to give Terra.

“You remember when the Titans fought Red X last, right? Red X escaped.”

“Yes.”

“Just making sure. After Aaron and I got the original Red X suit, we duplicated it using my technology. That way, it would be more difficult for you and the authorities to track us down. Aaron and I in the beginning worked as a team. We would rob small items, jewelry and such, and then pawn it off and give the money too the poor.”

“Robin Hood?”

“Sort of, well, one time when I wasn’t with Aaron, he broke into a museum and stole a golden Anasazi trinket. I told him to put it back, that we weren’t thieving history for the melting pot, but he didn’t listen. He told me that this piece wasn’t for the poor, it was for him. His always successful thieving had made him arrogant. So I told him that I wasn’t helping anymore and left the city for a while. I used the belt, but a different costume and name in another city trying to let me forgive myself for not fighting him. Soon after my new identity change, my computer showed me that Aaron was locked in a Zynothium lab just outside jump city, and that you guys were locked up inside Cheng’s tower. I knew the guy because I had to get the element to work the belt from him. Well, I went to go help the Titan’s in my Red X suit. I fought along side Robin and helped bring down Chang. I thought that maybe if I could not forgive my self for our evil, I might be able to clear the Red X name. My belt was low after helping and so I tried to take one container of the liquid. As I did this, Robin stole the belt that I made. His belt was still with Aaron. I got pretty peeved at the fact that I was still getting blamed for all of my brother’s mistakes, so I waited for the opportune moment to get MY belt back. It came at the time of your “funeral”. I snuck in, grabbed the belt, said hello, and just happened to run into a beautiful little black bird on my way home.”

An odd voice sounded from the back of the alley. “Yep, sounds about right to me. But who’s taking Birdie home this time?” It was...

Chapter 13



Raven looked up at a very familiar mask. Black with a white skull.

“So, little blackbird, we could be love birds together, huh?”

Raven started to get very angry; her eyes flashed a violent crimson.

“Leave her alone, Aaron!”

“Why? Is their some kind of electric field around your property, or something?” He laughed.

“Property? I am no ones Property! I will show you what you property in a jail cell will be!” She rose up, towering over the both of them.

Calm yourself, Raven! Stay Calm! She concentrated everything on her anger, to subdue it as best as she could. Her forehead exploded with pain, her arms and legs felt like the bones were being grinded to mere dust. Her chest constricted making it feel like her ribs were piercing her heart. Her stomach and back muscles tightened to the point where she could not move.

____________________________________________________________________
She fought and cursed inside of her mind. Each emotion attacking a figure in red. Blow after blow was delivered in an eternal sequence. Pink would distract it, than green would attack with a powerful kick, all directed by Yellow. The red figure lay crumbled momentarily to the floor. The real Raven finally stood from the floor of the wasteland.
____________________________________________________________________
Raven Fell. Brandon rushed to her side. Aaron stood back in fear. The T-car pulled up behind them. Aaron did not notice, in his bewilderment, and was quickly captured.
____________________________________________________________________
Raven’s time had come to finally summon all of her powers together. As she did, a brilliant flash lit the room and instead of a white cloaked figure, a figure in pale lavender emerged. Raven felt stronger than the last time. She threw everthing she had at him, all of her power. The figure, impaled with black energy crackling with lavender, faltered once more, and exploded. Raven wished it was only in real life.
_______________________________________________________
Brandon checked Raven’s pulse. Luckily it had begun to slow from its once racing pace. Cy scanned her, “She’s stable now.”
“Where’s X?” Brandon got a worried look on his face.

“Can we please bring him back to the Tower? I have something to say.”

The rest of the Titans were compelled to do so, but wondered why their friend had asked.

________________________________________________________________
Raven woke up still in the decrepite desert of her mind.
"Good. I need to have a small talk with someone."

:evil: :evil: Betcha can't guess who she needs to talk to!:evil:

[Crowgirl]

Trigon/Red Raven?

Oh well, great chapter. I like how you described Raven's emotions getting sort of out of control. Great description overall. As for the twin thing, woah..... Can't say much more than that. This is really good, and I like it a lot.

“Where’s X?” Brandon got a worried look on his face.

“Can we please bring him back to the Tower? I have something to say.”

The plot thickens....

Buh, buh, buh.......

Hmm, I haven't been keeping up with this story, it's pretty good. Keep up the good work.

Your getting even better still! astounding chapter worthy of all our praise!:)

[Raeofdarkness]

Chapter 14

Raven stood up inside of her mind, her head paining. Her emotions waited around her expectantly. They waited for a small celebration for her father’s defeat, but none came.

Instead, she sat there, head in her hands, adjusting her eyes to the light of the gate of the emotions of Romance, and Wisdom. She never really understood why they lived together.

It was a cool place, surrounded by clear water. In the center was a large building with gaping doors in the walls that were always open. The rooms were gilt with gold and their were fabrics of different colours everywhere. She walked inside to a heavy scent of sandalwood.

“Why did you come Raven, and how is Robin?” A dark Lavender emotion smiled.

“Fine…Why do you ask?”

“Because you love him.” Raven stopped and stared. She had tried not to, she had tried to convince herself to take Brandon fully into her heart and accept only him. It did not work.

“You must know who you love and accept it. Do you like lying to yourself? Do you like who you are with Brandon? A famous poet once said, I love you not only for who you are, but for who I am when I am with you. She was wise indeed.” The yellow figure peered from beyond its glasses. Raven looked at the ground. She knew that she loved him. She didn’t want to admit it. She knew he didn’t love Starfire like that, but she still thought that she had no chance.

She was annoyed now, so she snapped back at the lavender emotion. “Go away. I came to see Wisdom.”

“Well, you see me, don’t you?”

“I came to ask you about my emotions and Brandon. I meditated nonstop for practically the past two days and I still felt like I needed to meditate this morning. Why?”

“It is because of the lying.”

“About what?”

“About your attempted suicide and about Brandon. I have researched that if you stop the lies and tell them about all out front then…”

“I will not admit about Robin.”

“Well then the problem will never fully return to normal.”

“I refuse.”

“Fine then.” Yellow walked out through one of the many doors and Lavender walked up and hugged the actual Raven.

“Do not be afraid of rejection.” She smiled. Raven always thought that Love was her most beautiful side. “The worst he can say is no.”

Raven walked out of her mind.

Her real body ached more than her mind one. She felt herself floating over an infirmary table.

“It has to be done.”

+++ By the way I was asked my name. It is Lauren Michael Williams. That is why you might see people calling me Mike or Mikey. I am, however, a GIRL!+++

Robin and Raven! Sprox will be happy....

well, you've got the cliffhangers down pat...

this is very good, however short. good luck with future writing and good luck with all else! exceptional job with Raven having to face her emotions!

[Raeofdarkness]

Chapter 15

Surprisingly, the Titans took the news of the twin and all of its details well. Robin at first had doubt and made Cyborg do tests, but afterwards, they held Brandon in the same esteem as always, asking him to join the Tower, making it his permanent home. This is when a Raven entered the room. She was dressed in a pair of tan cargo pants, and a black, tight fitting T-shirt that said “Teachers Fear Me”. It was a present from Starfire.

The Titans stared at the girl as she walked over and grabbed a cup of tea.

“Oh, so the Freak is back.” Raven’s eyes flashed red for a very quick second and then she was calm. She stared at the figure in bonds.

“Yes, I am.” She sat down with the rest of the Titans.

“I get to live here Rae. I get to stay with you guys!” Raven stared solemnly at Brandon and the rest of the Titans. She noticed the way Starfire looked at the nearly 6 foot 3, blonde figure. It reassured what she would have to tell him later. Robin’s genial smile towards her made it easier for what she had to say now.

“I want to talk about my suicide.” The silence in the room was deafening. “I couldn’t handle everything that I knew about me. I had it locked away for so long, and when I finally brought it out, it consumed me. I never really told any one my past. My mother, Arella, was raped by my father, Trigon. He did this to several of my half-aunts in order to expand his influence, reigning our universe in terror. So many woman committed suicide instead of having his children, or killed his children once they were born. I have seen many of my half-sisters die for not joining him. I am the only traitor to survive. The last funeral I went to was my sister Jiminie’s.”

“I was there; I and Jiminie had the same mother. No one knew that. Not even Raven. When I saw Raven there, I knew that they were related, so I snapped a photo, and saved it.”

“But any way, My mother died giving birth to me, so I was sent to live with the nuns of my planet. They wanted me to join them when I turned thirteen, but I declined their offer. I wished to use my powers to do good. I had been taught by the leader of the Azarathian order that I could control my powers. Lately, that had been getting harder. My father would send me dreams of the great powers and wealth I could possess. I did not give in. He sent me images of my mother. I did not give in. But when he sent an image of all of you dead, I tried to kill myself. It was in vain, however, because when I studied with Malchior I learned a self healing charm that would invoke my powers even an inch from death. I tried to subdue it, but failed. I wish that I had not. His influence grows ever stronger.”

“But we are here for you Raven. We will fight him off!” Beast boy’s words, though kind, did nothing to encourage her.

“He will grow to powerful. I have grown to powerful. That is one of the many reasons why I was foolish to try and release Malchior. He expanded my powers greatly as I knew he would. Since I though he was good, I thought that he could teach me, and then help me defeat my father. I never expected him to be evil. But since he was, the power that he taught me could now go to Trigon if I am captured. So, I tried to kill myself. I am sorry for it. I should have explained. It was stupid of me not to.”

“No it wasn’t. You were depressed about your sister and your dad and everything else. I wanted to comfort you because I knew what you went through. Jiminie taught Aaron and I so much. She tried so hard to stay on the good side that in the end it killed her. I am sorry that I was laying Rae. I wanted to be there for my family.” Raven smiled.

“That’s all right with me. I really need to go meditate now. Sorry that I was such a jerk. I’ll be up on the roof if anyone needs me!” She left, still troubled, but paused at the door. “Oh and Brandon, could I talk to you for a minute?”

“Sure.” He walked outside with her.

“I just wanted to say that I never really loved you. I just fooled myself into thinking that. I needed someone and at the time, you were there.”

“I figured after you gave your little speech. But, I have a date with Starfire, so I have to go.”

“Have fun.”

“I will.” Raven went up to the roof and sat in her normal position.

Azarath Metrion Zinthos, Azarath Metrion Zinthos…

She floated into a space inside her mind until about an hour later, a certain someone came up the stairs.

[Matt A]

Those last two chapters were indeed wonderful and unexpected. Well done!:D :D :D :D :D

By the way, do you mean "epilogue" rather than "prologue"?:anime:

[ShadowOfAGhost]

this is a very nice chapter! I like all of it ande I can't wait for the next one. I did not expect Raven to go that deep into detail in her confession and thus was very surprised!

[Crowgirl]

Uh.... It was... erm....

Drat. I'm at a loss for words. There's nothing left to say. :D

[Raeofdarkness]

Chapter 16



Raven ignored the slamming of the steel door to the roof. She sat in a perfect trancelike state, pretending to really be chanting her magic words.

“Raven, Can I talk to you?” Robin’s voice sounded very shaky. Raven had never heard him nervous, though he had been nervous before. Raven’s tan cargo jeans and her tight, Teachers Fear Me, T-shirt to him were the epitome of beauty. Her slightly purple hair hung in her fair skinned face. The sun set over the water in a most sparkling fashion.

She opened on amethyst eye. “Yes.” She was nervous too, but she was not able to show it.

“I am glad that you confessed. BB is acting normal again. Cyborg is his old self. Starfire broke up with me…”

“You were officially going out?”

“No, but you know what I mean. And Brandon is head over heals for her. I just wanted to tell you that I am very glad things are how they are now.”

“Even Star?”

“Does this explain it?” Robin swept her up into his arms and kissed her. A kiss that seemed to last a wonderful eternity. A wonderful, magical, eternity.

The dark water sparkled with the golds and whites of the newly risen moon and the setting sun. Across the bay the Boardwalk’s fireworks were setting off in their brilliant arrays of greens and pinks and blues and reds. Raven shuddered.

“Is something wrong?” He was still holding her close.

“I feel like and idiot now for scarring my wrists like I did. I was stupid. I know now how many people actually truly care for me. You are the best of the best.”

“You are the best of the best at kissing.”

“How many girls have come and gone before me?”

“Quite a few.”

“Oh really?”

“Yes.”

“I have never said these words before in the same sentence Robin, but, I love you.” The words tickled her tongue and just saying it and being in his arms made her feel lightheaded.

“I love you, too.” She sighed at their return. She could no longer hold back her powers. The swooped up in the form of a black raven and flashed close to the water and then exploded in the air. It looked like thousands of tiny particles of black glitter falling towards the blue satin ocean.

He lay down, and she ended up very comfortably on top of him. She could feel his abdominal muscles ripple beneath his costume and his strong arms wrapped around him. They fell asleep there that night, and slept like that the rest of their nights. Underneath the stars. Just after the sun, committed its suicide, spilling is red-gold blood on the water.

Yes, I do mean PROLOUGE to my next book- Don't want to Missa thing (The title makes sense later)

[ShadowOfAGhost]

so now Raven has been going around with Red X, Beast Boy, AND Robin!:eek: :D :evil: :p it would seem we have a "playuh" on our hands here...:eek:

I honestly would have thought that Robin would have been more diturbed or rattled by his brake up with starfire (and of course you released this on valentines day...) Can't wait for the next story!




I never thought Raven would have been that way with guys...



kudos and good work!:cool:

[Matt A]

For some reason, the word "wow" springs to mind.:p

What's that I hear? A new project by the genius known as R.o.D. is rapidly up and coming? Sounds good to me.:anime: :anime: :anime:

[rrarbecy]

Robin/Raven? eeeeah, okay. Fine. I don't exactly like it, but that's okay.

[Rae]

Yay! Happy Ending!

[Raeofdarkness]

Here is the prologue to my next story. It will have its own thread soon! Like now! It is about 6 months after Suicide’s end.



Prologue



The small girl sat on the open air of the rooftop in amazement at the view whoever lived here had, a perfect sunset over the ocean. In the light, you could see that her multicolored hair was beginning to fade from neglect and lack of brushing. A few strands fell into her face. “You really need some help.” Her voice was small in the noise of the ocean beating up against the rocks.



She walked into a large greenhouse in the back corner of the roof. It was raised up about ten feet. And those ten feet was filled with soil so that her unknowing hosts could plant right into the floor. She took a pinch of its dirt, thought, and blew on it towards the ground. Out of the floor sprawled a large, fernlike plant with brightly colored tendrils and blossoms. She selected a bright purple bloom, crushed it, and proceeded to rub its juices into her choppily cut hair in highlights. She did this with three other colors, and left the rest of her hair its natural honey colored blonde. She walked out of the greenhouse with another handful of dirt in her hand, and droped it 15 stories down to the surface below. A large green vine came up and she slid down it. She proceded to wash her hair in the salty water and then dried it in the still setting sun. Her reflection was of a pale narrow face, and a black winged mask covering her dark green eyes. The result was a rainbow of gold, baby blue, purple, red, and black. It suited her well. She went up to the far left corner of the greenhouse behind a large waterfall and pulled a brush out of her pack. She untangled the whole mess.



Out of her brown army pack, she pulled a large quilt and pillow. She made herself a bed behind the waterfall and looked up at its glass ceiling. The moon and the stars were gorgeous. She looked up at two wilted pots above her. PROPERTY OF BB. She concentrated on the pot and, and brought the lavender and its browned blossoms back to life.

“I hate it when people do not take care of their plants.”

[rrarbecy]

One thing to say. Wow. That was REALLY good and descriptive. Can't wait to see more.

[Crowgirl]

Wow.....

Happy ending, great romance (Between Raven and Robin!!), OH SPROXIE..........

It seems odd though that the romance between Star and Brandon all of a sudden sparks, I think you maybe should have left a few subtle clues in the story to prepare us for a suprise ending.

I could see this definitely being nominated for HoF, most definitely.

Congratulations on an awesome story well done!

Ciao,
CG

[Matt A]

I could see this definitely being nominated for HoF, most definitely.My thoughts exactly.

By the way, does anyone know what's going on with the Hallf Of Fame nominations? The thread suddenly disappeared yesterday morning, and no one's said why. Either I'm missing something really obvious, or something else has just gone a little strange.


Ta,
Matt

PS: If you want to see my comments on the prologue, go check the new thread.

[Raven13]
